Can someone let me know what the "circled" symbol means?
I have tried disabling wifi, mobile networks, gps, everything I can think of and it is still there. I'm just curious. Thanks!

You have to be rooted. Use root explorer and go to system/app/SystemUI.apk and extract it. After you do that go to where you extracted it and go into the folder then go to res/drawable-hdpi and find the two icons with the gps icon ( stat_sys_location_e911_2.png and stat_sys_location_on_2.png). Rename both of those to .bak and then back out of those folders back to SytemUI and rezip it. Then copy it to system/app and change the permissions to the screenshot I have. Change the permissions quickly because systemui.apk will crash. If it does just do a battery pull and restart your phone. You'll be good to go then. If you get lost anywhere let me know of any questions.

I got all the way until the end, and when I paste the zip file in system/app, I changed permissions, but it just shows up as a zip file, not an apk. I see both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.zip in the same file. Both permissions are the same. Rebooted and the icon is still there. Where did I go wrong?
Edit: It looks as though it's recreating the .png's in addition to the .bak files I made. Not sure if it's because of the odex'd SystemUI file that's also in there?
I'd post a screenshot but for some reason I can't post them. It's saying "image upload is no longer working" and to update the app, even though I already have xda premium.

The file you edited is a zip. The instructions he made were a little confusing for people that don't know about apks. You need to change the file extension from .zip to .apk and then push it. This will replace the current apk.

So basically we can do basic themeing on our phone by opening systemui.apk playing with images and then rezip and rename push/permissions then reboot? I always thought it had to be done on a computer with like apktool and such... Oh im gonna be busy for a while lol, themes are my favorite thing about android, it can look exactly how i want.

Kinda weird...I tried this unzipping> renaming the images>rezip>change .zip to .apk>replace SystemUI.apk
After a reboot, I got no wallpaper and no notification shade at all...I must have messed something up. I tried using ES File Manager with root enabled. Is the unzipping and zipping different between ES and "Root File Explorer"?
I am just familiar with ES and like the way it handles most things, it would be good to know in the future. Thanks!
There's always been problems with ES. Root Explorer is kind of the standard.

I did the whole process using root explorer, and I also had my wall paper reset back to the default. My notifications seem to be fine.
Also worth mentioning, I first copied the file as a .ZIP into the proper location, then changed the permissions, then renamed the original as a .Bak, then renamed the new one from .ZIP to .APK, then rebooted. I'm not sure if doing it that way made a difference or not.

Push meaning replace it with the original file, right?
I never made a backup of my original systemUI apk, although i got one from another thread where the wifi toggle icon is added to the notification shade screen. Are all the systemUI's teh same, or is there something in there unique to the device?
I will be doing this later today, too. That icon annoys me, but I need the alarm one.

"power source connected, battery charging."
I like this idea. I always get funny looks when I reboot my phone b/c of linda's voice. Would be neat to have a full suite too, but hey, let's see how linda works. Seems worth the time investment to have something so sweet available
Edit: Just pushed the file, and the voice seems to have a little more resonance than the Linda voice on shutdown. I'm gonna mod it a bit for fun and see what I can come up with
Edit 2: Apparently sound editing isn't my strong suit. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with what I know

doesn't matter where you extract it. as long as u put the extracted file in the right folder/directory.
if you say root explorer sees the directory as read only, check the top right corner.
tap the little r/o button make sure it reads r/w then paste the file there.
Does anyone know what files in the framework (I'm guessing) need to be edited to adjust the auto brightness settings?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
values/arrays.xml in framework-res.apk. you'll see the brightness levels towards the bottom of the xml
Thanks, but I don't see a values folder. Or even an arrays.xml in any folder.

you have to decompile the apk first. You have to use apktool to decompile it. It is a process. http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Once you decompile the apk.. you'll see the Values folder with the xml files.
follow the instructions from the above link. After installing the required tool files, install the framework file (there is instructions on how to do that in the link).. and then decompile the framework-res.apk file.
or use apk manager
Ok, I'll try that, I can pretty much only use my computer at work for internet so I'll have to do that when I get home. I have both of those on my computer already. Thanks.
More info here, but for a different phone.
Alright, so I've found and edited the file. But when I try to put back on the framework my phone won't boot. I've never really had good luck with these apk programs. I've tried it with and without signing. I've tried it with and without deleting the resources.arsc file. And I've tried adb pushing and trying it in a zip file. Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Should I maybe use a different compression level? I'm out of ideas. Thanks.
BAMF roms have auto brightness tweaked.
Keep in mind though, it does have some side effects, such as slow to resume to correct brightness if you tap the screen when it dims, just before shutting off.

Yeah, your ROMs and and Perfect Storm ROMs is where I got the idea. I'm trying to learn about these things. I have my framework set up in a way that I really like it for now, on your Stripped ROM. I've been trying to get this thing set up exactly how I like it. For now I just want to adjust that and then figure out 1 or 2 other things, then I think I'm set. The only other thing I can think of right now is the text color in the pulldown menu.
Hey adrynalyne. I'm sorry for being an ass over on the GPS thread. Will you please come back.
I just have the stomach flue and I was wrong to be so dismissive. If you can help us, please come back. I'll answer all the questions you want to ask without being a smartass.
It looks like the app you recommended worked for some already, and if you know how to sort though a logcat for android, you are much better suited to help than anyone so far (including myself by far..)

Do not resign the apk. Instead copy the android manifest and META-INF folder from the original apk. Then push in adb.

Not too much theming, I've looked everywhere to change my bubble colors and most zips I've found weren't working. Here's one made from stock messenger app on the Galaxy Note. http://db.tt/Ao40ZDFN
REMEMBER: Make a .bak of your old MMS.apk push it to /system/app and in case it doesn't work just revert to your old one, if it fails to work PM me your MMS.APK and I will make a new one for your specific ROM.

Hi guys,
I manage to get PageBuddy and AirView working on the ATT rom. Also was able to add SmartRotation & SmartStay (I dont know how they work or if I'm missing something to modify. I tried a couple of times. If someone can help me I'll be grateful)
Installation:
1. Extract rar file I717 Xtra Features.rar
2. Push SecSettings.apk to system/app and set permissions rw--r--r
3. Push SecLauncher2.apk to system/app and set permissions rw--r--r
4. Push SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk to system/app and set permissions rw--r--r
5. Push PageBuddyNotiSvc.apk to system/app and set permissions rw--r--r
6. Push com.sec.feature.hovering_ui.xml to system/etc/permissions and set permissions rw--r--r
7. Reboot and Enjoy. :fingers-crossed:
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmknn2dy2678t1s/I717%20Xtra%20Features.rar
Update:
I have attached the calendar with Airview. Just flash in recovery (TRWP recommended). Remember to clear caches.
If i just install the "hover" and 'page buddy' Apks, will I get the air view function (seeing pop up previews in gallery and when watching videos) and the page buddy working 100 %? And does the 'smart rotation' and 'smart stay ' work at all on your note?
Thanks for all your efforts too man

I you just install hover then airview will only work with the video player, Email (Stock), Messaging (Stock). That's why you have to also push the gallery. THe gallery has the airview fix applied.
For PageBuddy, you need SecSettings.apk (so you can activate it), the PageBuddyNotiSvc in system/apps (Dont know what it does), the SecLauncher (This one is extracted from the Telus Rom. Thank God. Our SecLauncher does not have the page buddy.)
As for what is working I'll say that page buddy is working 100%. Inserted headphones and a new page for audio appear. Cannot test the dock part since I dont have a dock. SmartRotation and SmartStay can be toggled on, but after reading a bit about them an eye should have appeared in the status. For me it did not appear so I consider them half working.
I'm gonna try and do this right now, do you have any recommendations for the easiest way to 'set permissions'?
Great job btw too man, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we really appreciate your efforts. Even with the multi window

System\etc\permissions. The error looks like you don't have write access. You have to be mounted with read\write access in your file explorer.
