[Q] CM [10,10.1,10.2,11] Pattern lock. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Is it possible to maximize the size of the pattern lock in the new cm 10,11 builds? So it will be the same as ics but keep the JB/KK layout..
Thanks in advance,
Cheers.

So far i know its not possible. But i can suggest you two possible solution.
You can try to change different Grid size. But i am not totally sure whether it will works or not.
or you can flash any stock lockscreen zip which is compatible with CM10+.
Press thanks button it helps.

It's a known usability bug -- please see: github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/issues/164
The only way (I know) of changing this, is to change the DPI from 160 to 140. You can do so with build.prop Editor (1) or Xposed apps like "App Settings" (2). It'll change the rest/parts of the UI as well though.

[APP] Transparent Settings app LIST ADDED FOR INTERESTED PORTERS :D

Heey there
I was searching a while for a transparent settings app (I like transparent apps so )
Since no theme porter or dev was answering the Q for transparent settings app
I tried to customize the settings app myself i tried different things but unsuccessful (maybe because of my limited skills )
After some more trying it almost works
So thought I'll post it here so everyone can enjoy a transparent settings app
Since I'm not a dev or theme porter and I was just trying something out
There are some bugs in it but I don't have the required skills to fix them all
so if there is any dev or theme porter that could give me some tips PM PLEAS I really want this done
Extra options that work
Build in font changer in settings app itself so no need for Third party app
G-sensor calibration option
This need to be "fixed"
Wireless and network menu
Bluetooth switch on the check-box in the settings menu doesn't work (when you enable bleutooth in the statusbar the settings can be changed in the bleutooth menu)
Call settings menu
The call settings menu should be expanded (now there is only a voice-mail setting option so nothing like hide numer callsettings etc.)
Sound settings menu
There is an option for video-call ringtone (need to be removed but doesn't give FC so not urgent )
Display settings menu
Brightness setting doesn't work (if you use the Power control widget you can change the brightness)
There are options for
- White colour density
- Black colour density
- Saturation
- TV out
All FC, whether they should be removed or fixed, if someone can make these option working that would be super
The horizontal calibration must be edit because the roll indicator is not one the right scale
Location and security menu
The option for aiding sensors is missing
Application menu
in the menu "manage applications the size for each app is on the big side not verry handy if you have a lot of apps but its just for the looks so not verry urgent
SD-card and memory menu
There is an option for formatting internal memory haven't tried it yet but if someone has enough courage to try this option we will know if it works
For the rest everything is working perfect
Thx man
Love it !

Reflash a Rom is much more easier than prepare a cup noodles. Just plug to PC and then fire up odin, wait for 2mins than Titanium Backup than that's all
Now doing a full Backup

but when i see its not working but I'm on my way home and don't have a pc I just replace the old one
so no reboot, flash or backup needed
Thanks for trying I hope some day a theme porter will give me some tips or make a better one
I'll reupload my previous one so some people can try it out and maybe fix the bugs
After trying my first attempt again i discovered that the build in font changer in the settings app works so you can apply new fonts in the settings app itself so no need to install any third party apps
Also the option for G-sensor calibration works!!!
Well. The main difference you will find in styles.xml when you decompile this Settings.apk and the one from our phone. There are some lines that have to be added to it. And then you will have to define them in Public.xml also. And then again you will have to declare them in the classes.dex file. i.e. in the smali files.
Its tedious. Smali/baksmali.

[Q] How to change the icons on the S3 lock screen?

I know how to change which apps are shown on the lock screen, but is there a way to change the icons for those apps?
I'm using Apex Launcher and I've changed some of the icons for apps on my home screens, but it still shows the original icons on the lock screen. It would be nice if I could change them so that they match.
Is there an app that I can use to do this?
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it says that he knows how to change what programs go there, but he wants to change Icons for certain things. E.g. he wants a different icon for the Dialer instead of the stock one, he doesn't want to change it so Dialer isn't there.
You'll have to use themes to change icons though afaik, so you're probably better off looking for that OP.

Read the very first thing I said: -
"I know how to change which apps are shown on the lock screen, but is there a way to change the icons for those apps?"
It's not possible unless someone mods the touchscreen (probably quite difficult).
Your best solution would be to change the actual app icon - there should be a png in drawable-res/??? (??? = resolution of sgs3) that is the icon. you can overwrite it with winzip or whatever (make sure the size is the same though).
Axtually, just use a different lock screen app.

it is possible i think. Just use xposed framework and download icon themer module.

[XPOSDE MODULE] 3dot menu mod

*** This mod is designed for device / rom that didn't have a onscreen navbar (i.e.: samsung rom) ***
If your rom already have a navbar, you should already have 3dot menu enabled and enabling this mod will only hide your navbar!
This mod will enable 3dot menu button in all application (using a 0 height navbar), enjoy!
Side effects:
Samsung use fixed layout for their apps, and when a navbar is enabled we got unexpected results, can't do nothing about this... (see screenshot)
after enebling the mod screenshot combination change to AOSP style: Power+MenuDown

So will this overlap applications and sit on top of them?
No, it's a guideline suggested since android 3.0 honeycomb, so the app had to support it.

[Q] How to make status bar smaller?

Hi guys, im a galaxy s2 gt-i9100 user and how do i make my status bar thinner as it is taking up a bit of space?? Do i decompile systemui.apk or seclauncher2.apk? And what line is it to edit? I do not want to change my lcd density as touchwiz becomes weird and i do not want to install a 3rd party launcher. Please help me out guys!
I found this breakdown of the systemui:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...b5baa/packages/SystemUI/res/values/dimens.xml
Didn't find the specific part for what you need though, sorry.
Would be cool if someone could make an exposed module for this. What I do, is just use the Expanded Desktop mode available on newer roms like CM, AOKP, etc. so it's gone till I swipe it.

If you are running a TW based rom, you have to use the framework and the tw-framework files to help decompile the systemui.
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
That idea. Without those, systemui can't decompile correctly. If you are running a non TouchWiz rom then there is another issue. Make sure to use a tool that is known to work with the update you are on as there are lots of different tools to do this and some are better suited than others.

Hmm, sorry, I don't really use Xposed for this purpose, so I think you'd be better off looking for help in the module's support page (link is in the module download page).
However you can do what I do - just lower the DPI of your device, and Android will shrink everything after you reboot - the status bar, even your apps.
Look for 'ro.sf.lcd_density' in your build.prop. Lower it by a few numbers, reboot. Repeat until you get a setup that's just right.
If you get problems with Play Store after this, look for Play Store Fixes in the Xposed download page.

[MOD][Lollipop][2015-02-14] Fix navbar spacing on lower DPI

If you use a lower DPI like me (I use 320) on the 5.0 lollipop port by scrubber you've probably noticed the navigation bar buttons are too separated.
Flash the attached zip in recovery to fix this.
Only portrait for now. When I got some spare time I'll fix the landscape layout.
Status: Beta 1
Date: 2014-12-05
If you prefer to swap the recents and back button check out my other mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/themes-apps/mod-swap-recents-navbar-buttons-t2964524
Edit 2014-12-08: Added a revert zip. Flash in recovery if you want to restore the original SystemUI.
Edit 2015-02-14: Uploaded Beta 2. Fixed the IME switcher and menu button location. Also fixed layout in landscape mode.
This is great, thanks.
swap back and recent apps.
Good work OP. One question though, is it possible to swap the back and recent apps buttons? On 4.4.4 i just used xposed with gravity box but as far as i know xposed doesn't work on lollipop.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
It works perfectly, Thanks:laugh:

And some rather large icons I'd like to decrease in size. Also, how can I add an extra row on the screen to have an extra icon or app? Thanks.
Oh, both of those are dependent on the launcher you're using.
Try this one where you can tweak most of the things: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Or this one which is the Google Now Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
^ Thanks pemell, would you recommend Google Now Launcher/Nova launcher over the stock Sony launcher?

I know it's a little off topic, but I figured you might be able to give me some advice. I flashed this mod, and decided to restore a CWM nandroid back up. I've been stuck on the bootanimation for quite some time now. Is this to be expected? Again, sorry for the off topic post, and keep up the good work!

Why did you want to restore a nandroid backup? Because of this mod? If so, I'll make a flashable revert zip available.
Regarding you being stuck on the bootanimation I got no idea, except that it's definitely not because of this mod.

^ Thanks pemell, would you recommend Google Now Launcher/Nova launcher over the stock Sony launcher?

Nova Launcher every day of the week.
GNL if you like it plain and easy with little option to tweak it.
Added a revert zip to the OP. Flash in recovery if you want to restore the original SystemUI.

Is it possible to tweak the dpi of Nova Launcher? The icons are too small when I'm on 320 dpi on Nova, but they okay when used in 400 dpi. On the contrary they are pretty decently sized when I'm using Google Search 4.0 + Google Launcher 1.11. I actually started using Google's alternative because of this and also due to the fact that the app drawer employs a white background which increases visibility even when the brightness is very low. I haven't seen this option in Nova yet. I know we can change icon sizes and scale them in Nova settings, but still the sizes and fonts are not proportional to what I would like it to be. Changing grid sizes helps a bit but it doesn't change the icon and font scaling problem.
I did try editing the shared_prefs.xml file from data/data and changed the dpi from 320 to 400 but it seems to reset it everytime the launcher is opened even if I've set the file to read only in properties.
Edit:
I also have another request for you. Can you change the navbar dp to 42 instead of 48 in portrait & landscape? 48 seems bigger than what it should be.
You don't need to tweak the dpi as you can change icon size in Nova
Or maybe that's only for payed users? Check in look & feel and see if you can change icon size

Yes, I used the option to manually resize the icons, but they're still way smaller than what 400dpi looks like.
Even after resizing, the icons are much smaller than what Google now launcher for Lolipop looks like at 320dpi. Only at 400dpi do they look okay.
Also what about the Navbar height? Is there anything we can do about that?
Is this "way smaller"?
Yeah I could make a mod changing the navbar height.
