Evening all,
Does any one know of a way to either Remove or Hide the operator logo form the Lock-screen ? My OCD is starting to kick in.
Thanks in advance.

Removing operator name requires you to decompile M10 files, I do this for fun so the only tool I'm aware of that does this is VTS. Nevertheless the steps are:
Decompile Idlescreen_Base.apk
In assets open: Lockscreen_time.m10/0x0dc105ce/lockscreen_time/timeline.time_fade/
Locate the code that says: /text.lockscreentime_operator - change the value to zero
Recompile the apk, then you can push the modded app to your phone via VTS or just swap it out with a file browser and reboot.
I've attached an Idlescreen.apk that is already modded, however, the clock text has been slightly downsized (not a result of the mod), also I don't like screen shortcuts, but they will still work.
Thanks for the tip!! I was able to remove everything. Operator, Time and Date.
Better thing to do is to look for <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">true</Bool>
<Unknown Name="0x7ce54727" Header="239748898" IDC="true">00000000</Unknown>
<Unknown Name="0x7c9663eb" Header="239748898" IDC="true">00406144</Unknown>
and change to
<Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">false</Bool>
<Unknown Name="0x7ce54727" Header="239748898" IDC="true">00000000</Unknown>
<Unknown Name="0x7c9663eb" Header="239748898" IDC="true">00406144</Unknown>
Thanks for the info Ghost, if you'd like to go even more minimal you can hide the shortcut text:
Lockscreen_shortcut.m10/0x0dc105ce/Lockscreen_Shortcut/
Under: <FxTimeLine Name="textcomp.shortcut_name1" Header="0x7c89ba8b" Type="0x19930c9c">
Find: <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">true</Bool>
Change to: <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">false</Bool>
Under: <FxTimeLine Name="textcomp.shortcut_name2" Header="0x7c89ba8b" Type="0x19930c9c">
Find: <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">true</Bool>
Change to: <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">false</Bool>

Find: <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">true</Bool>
Change to: <Bool Name="Visible" Header="239748898" IDC="true">false</Bool>

Sorry to be a pain, but in your own time obviously, could you just change the text size to the first APK you sent me, then that will be the last request i have.
Honestly.

Schumi, here's the IdleScreen the text is 3/4's (or whatever value 0.75 is in the world of M10 code)of the stock size.

Hi,
So I've tried many times to edit buttons(in framework), but the problem is that they are resizeable during the usage and each time I edit them (with Photoshop) the layout is just changed. Even after simply color change. So instead of cool a looking button I get an egg(shape).
How do You edit these buttons?
Please help if You know.

I assume you're editing .9.png's? Images with the extension .9.png need to be manipulated a bit to get them to work right when editing. .9.png's have extra information attached to them with regards to stretching and re-sizing. Editing them with Photoshop destroys this extra information. Do a quick search on how to edit .9.png's.

Thanks, I haven't noticed that it's *.9.png extension. I thought it's a normal *.png.
Will search for it
Suppose you want that a text should change it's color when you put your finger on it ,, like you want your carrier label to turn blue when you keep your finger on it and white when you remove,,, This is common in pngs, but what about text,, well theres a way for that too
This is a very easy mod,, all you need is to use your brain, information and search skills to find the right xml with the right string
Let us begin with an easy one,,, Open your status_bar_tracking.xml if you have bottom carrier label text and status_bar_expanded.xml if you have it above
now ,, search the line having
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel
and add an android:textColor="@color/carrier_text" ,,,
Save and close
now let us begin what we need to do to make it blue when we keep our finger on it
Open note pad or note pad ++
Paste this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ddff00"
<item android:color="#ffffff" />
</selector>
save with the name carrier_text and add xml as extension in plce of txt to make it an xml file,, now make a folder named color in SystemUI.apk/res
and recompile.....
And then you got it,, white in normal state and ICS blue when pressed.
NOW SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE LIKE A FLU!!!!!!
But do press the thanks button first if i helped you,, help me rise so i will be inspired to do more
Thanks for this! gonna try it out ^^
Thanks for this awesome share

I never knew that this is possible.
Well it is bro!!!!!!!
The android system has a lot of possibilities and if you had seen the lidroid-res.apk or framework-res.apk's xmls in colors folder (or Mms.apk) or just saw its amazing matching with drawable xmls (just replace drawable with color and all image paths to color codes )
YOu would have known too!!!!
One mistake in your post...
In status_bar_tracking.xml, we should add a line
Code:
android:textColor="@color/carrier_text"
and not
Code:
android:textColor="@color/carrier_text.xml"

NO NO NO bro,, the extensions of xmls and pngs are never displayed ,,, that is the job of the tags (android:textColor) to do the job,, if you write,, u will only face an error while recompiling,, i have already studied it bro,, if you dont believe just open tab_indicator.xml in Contacts.apk/res/layout-finger......
But still it is good that you asked,, your doubt is solved

#CAN U DIG THIS SUCKAAAA#
Hey guys,
I was asked a week or so back to make a guide so others can theme the Stock SamsungIME.apk the way they like. I have made my thread to do this and you can put in request if this guide is not helpful(which I hope it is).
I will answer as many questions as I can, time permitting, and be as Noob friendly as I can, as well. I know this guide will not be perfect and there might be some things I am leaving out, and if so tell me, I will adjust the OP with any suggestions or changes. So here goes nothing...
Things you need:
Android SDK
Java JDK and JRE
Apktool
Notepad++
xUltimate-d9pc
Photo Editor (Gimp/Photoshop)
Before we begin, I am not going to go into how to load/decompile/recompile apks.. There are some good guides out there and here are some..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195680
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206938
After you have the SamsungIME.apk totally decompiled you will want to open the folder it decompiled into and start with the res/drawables-sw359dp-xhdpi folder. In this folder there is all the pngs you need to edit. For starters the keys themselves..
You want:
sip_key_bg_normal.9.png
sip_key_bg_option.9.png
sip_key_bg_pressed.9.png
As you can tell, by the name, these are not normal pngs. You will see a 1 pixel border on all sides of the image. When editing the png either erase them or resize the canvas of the image. Just subtract by 2 form the height and the width, but remember when you save it re open it and adjust the canvas size back to the way it was. As my understanding of these goes, they are named this way because Android recognizing these .9.pngs and stretches them.. When I first attempted editing these I would have nothing but problems, of course because I was doing it wrong. I never could understand where the lines go and what they actually do. Thats probably because I was trying to do it with transparent/semi-transparent images and could not see the actual image expanding. Well when you are editing these with draw9patch, I noticed two very important things to look at (for the keyboard). The window to your right is how the actual image will look when expanded, but to see that you have to go to the bottom of the screen and the second scroll bar, move it all all the way to the right.
You will notice that it stretches the image.. This is the same thing Android does.
The middle image needs attention here because it expands it horizontally. So that means when you expand it all the way thats what you spacebar will look like. .
You notice that these edges (red lines) Are not defined they are rounded.. Because they are not patched correctly.
Notice the difference? This after it was patched with the proper line alignment.
To start you want add to full lines on the bottom and the right side. Next is the top and the left side. These are the lines you need play with to make you image look right. I used to only add a 1 pixel dot in the middle and one pixel line on the left. But when I started getting more advanced with photoshop/gimp I noticed my images would not looking the same. When you add gradients or borders to you keys, seeing the image on the right expanded is important because you will draw you lines to make you image look like it did in photoshop/gimp. NOTE: Don't leave any space in the lines to the right and on the bottom. You can, however, do so on the left and top but it will distort your png.
Here are a few guides to help you if you have anymore questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326393
The next image of importance is:
qwerty_keypad_bg.png
This is the background of the keyboard.. NOTE: there is also one of these located in res/drawables-sw359dp--land-xhdpi, the only difference being the above image is for Portrait and land is for Landscape. Also, they are two different resolutions so be careful when changing them. You can change this image to anything you want.. It is a normal png so therefore no patching or further steps are needed.
Next would be all the other option pngs, backspace, space bar, voice, settings, enter key, etc. You will will find these starting with the word qwerty_.
So example:
qwerty_key_icon_enter.png
This is the enter key as it sits on your keyboard.. Yes there are other ones but there are for different actions.
Another thing we might want to change is the color of the CAPS key when it is enabled.
That png is named:
qwerty_key_bg_shift_capslock.png
As you can see a lot of these are named exactly what they are..well some at least..
Next is .xml edits. You want to locate res/values-sw359hp-xhdpi/colors.xml. You will need to open this with notepad++ to edit colors of the key text, pressed key text, shadow of those text, space bar lettering, etc. You will only (or I only do) need to focus on the first 12 lines. They pretty much explain themselves by there names.
Code:
<color name="normalkey_shadowcolor">#ff000000</color>
<color name="functionkey_shadowcolor">#ff000000</color>
<color name="functionkey_labelcolor">#ffe2e2e2</color>
<color name="normalkey_labelcolor">#ffe2e2e2</color>
<color name="pressedkey_labelcolor">#ff122438</color>
<color name="disablekey_labelcolor">#7fe2e2e2</color>
<color name="popup_normalkey_labelcolor">#ffffffff</color>
<color name="popup_pressedkey_labelcolor">#ff2d5a8c</color>
<color name="normalkey_extra_labelcolor">#ffe2e2e2</color>
<color name="spacekey_labelcolor">#ffb6b6b6</color>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You'll notice that the colors are hex codes.. So the first two letters or numbers is for the transparency.. The next six define the actual color.
After we have edited our xml we can go ahead and recompile the apk. You should recompile with no errors. If you do encounter an error it's possible that you edited the color wrong and made it seven letters instead of eight or vice versa. Make sure that you transfer the old AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder form your original APK and transfer them to your new APK in SamsungIME/dist/.
FInally, you can copy you NEW SamsunIME.apk to your sd card, reboot into recovery. I prefer this method (Thanks to @Deckoz2302) because I would have trouble with APK's fully copying through adb. When in recovery select Mount, then click System. Select back. Then select Advanced, than File Manager. When in File Manager goto wherever you put your new APK. Copy it. Then go to System/app/ and hit Select and slide to copy. Reboot!
:good:Special THANKS to: @Deckoz2302: Best developer I have ever talk to! @Rizal Lovins, @grilleld, @Arsaw, @twanskys204, @Winterlove, @GuneetAtwal and I REALLY hope I didn't leave anyone out! If I did I'm sorry, tell me and I will update!:good:

I have rooted my phone etc. Any help? Or if a helpfull person wants to do it for me, I just want it to say samewhere above or beneath the animation "Welcome Gilles" in the same font and color is the oneplus logo at the very beginning. Thanks in advance.

Do I also have to change the resolution or any other settings in the config file? And does the tool changes all the pictures or o my one at a time. I can try it out tomorrow.. Btw I probably can't cnage for example 100 frames' size, add text and leave the others smaller?

just edited my reply with more information for batch editing.
I'm not sure if this would work since you have to change the image size in the desc.txt file for example from 270 270 60 to 400 400 60 depending on your end result of course.
