I've searched a lot on this forum but couldn't find a modded Touchwiz for the leaked LSJ 4.1.2, all found are for ICS so they cannot be used.
I would like to remove the icon labels from the homescreen and from dock icons and reduce the number of screens from 7 to 3.
Does anyone have one already modded or can guide me to modify mine using apktool? (I also read on this forum that the smali file needs to be modified somehow).
Thank you!

Hi guys. Galaxy Ace 2.3.6, rooted, successfully uninstalled several system apps (allshare, samsung apps, etc.), and using a market-downloaded launcher.
Now I want to customize my Ace even more without installing a custom ROM. I know some people do it via ADB. Is this possible with Ace? Suppose I already have the SDK and ADB installed, then what? Can anyone provide step by step instructions, please?
Like if I wanted to make the pull-down menu (where the shortcuts of wifi, bluetooth, sound, gps, and auto-rotate are located) semi-transparent, I think it's possible with ADB, I just don't know how to go about it.
Also, changing the font color and font size, for example.
Many thanks!
Complicated
Use custom .. rom

I know it's for HTC Desire, so I'm asking if it would work on Galaxy Ace.
I can't find similar tutorials for Ace.
If anyone knows how to do it, please teach me. =)
Thank you!
Its deconpiling the apks

Get apk tool. Now you can decompile apps to edit graphics and code.
Inside the res folder you find graphics. Edit them with a good program and you can change transparency, colors, whatever.
SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk Have the notification and Status bar. Also check UOT Kitchen, make changes and compare to the original files.
Other apks for UI changes include Settings.apk, dialer, diáltab, Shutdown, etc.
Just dive in and experiment. As long as you got a Backup youll be alright.

dxppxd, have you done all that with your galaxy ace?
I have succesfully put a semitransparent Black Status bar, changed the looks of many icons (including check boxes, circles, the USB mass storage android picture, etc ) and changed the toggles icons to ICS style (I took the ones from tj_droids ICS stock theme).
Also got the ddkq8 lockscreen with centered clock, and added status bar icons from UOT Kitchen.
I'll post my framework and systemui apks later today (stock ddkq8) when I get home so you can open them and check them out (compare the files inside them with your own). Changing graphics is easy all you really need is winrar or 7zip and a graphics editor . Adding more settings, expanded menus, etc, that's the complicated part, you need apk tool.
Check this great tut

Hi,
On my SGS II - I9100 I have a ROOTED stock official ICS ROM with touchwizz.
I installed Nova Launcher, with that I can customize many visual aspects.
But the notification bar stills as is it, with stock colors, icons...
My question is: While being rooted, how can I change visual aspects of the notification bar?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards

On my old Ace (5830i) I used http://uot.dakra.lt/ UOT Kitchen to change notification bars. Of course the rom I used was Gingerbread but I see from the kitchen features it seems to support ICS/JB. One of the banners ststes it works with ODEX stock roms.
Points to note is that iirc the edify type (used to create the update script) for S2 should be EMMC type not Galaxy (Ace).
You would need to upload the system files from the /framework - framework-res.apk and from /system - SystemUI.apk as you are using Nova you should not need to worry about twframework-res.apk (if this file even exists in ICS as I know more about GB)
If this helps let me know, a thanks button click is nice too ofc!
Good luck

To customize the looks, you probably need to extract the systemUI.apk from your phone and change the png's with that of ICS in order to change icons of the Status bar. There are also more themeing that you can do with it, and you could get many guides about it within XDA on how to do all those stuffs and have a look in Android Themes section.
Thanks dude!

You need to decompile SystemUI.apk and make changes to an XML... which's name I forgot.
Hello, people
I had been using Jkay framework on my XXEMR2 from a very long time.
Now, I upgraded to Omega Rom, XXUFME7. Jkay isn't compatible. What can I do to make it compatible? I really have gone used to the Jkay mods.

Jkay will no longer develop his framework on the S3. Meaning any new firmware higher than 4.1.2 won't be supported anymore. So no there are no ways to make it compatible with the leak ME7 or any other 4.2.2 based firmware.
Is there any way where I could at least get the 'secure mode' lock screen toggle, and the AOKP lock screen on this? :/
Is it possible to edit the Jkay framework to make it compatible?

There maybe some mods to get that feature but apart from that there is no way to make it compatible anymore as it's coded to 4.1.2 and not 4.2.2 or higher. Either you downgrade to a 4.1.2 based firmware or buy an S4 (the I9505 variant) cause he's developing his framework on that device.
Can you please direct me to some mods that could give me that?

Search. This is not a spoon-feeding forum. Also I didn't guarantee that you will find the mod/feature you are searching for. I merely said that there is a possibility. I haven't tried the leak or any other custom rom based on it so I didn't bother searching for possible mods that mimics what Jkay's framework can do.

When I upgraded my Omega rom from build xxemg5 to ubemh2 i just renamed the build in the build.prop, rebooted to recovery, installed the framework and guess what? It worked!? so i guess it might be compatible with other builds too but I'm not sure about 4.2.2. Also I THINK it causes battery drain, but as I said I'm not sure about this one. Hope I could help

Editing the build prop of a 4.2.2 leaked firmware won't help. The framework is much more different than you think on 4.2.2. Also you didn't need to edit your build prop just to install the framework on UBEMH2 since ZaneZam already has a proper port for it.

The time I found out modifying the build prop will help there was no proper port for it yet and as I said i have no idea how it is on 4.2.2
