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 !

No need to re-flash your rom
just past the Settings.apk attachment in System/app an you got your old Settings.apk back

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 anyway thank you for your setting.apk

That's true
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.

Thank you so much
Since I actually still have very little experience with XML. I am teaching myself more, so it will take a while before I can continue to improve this
many thanks for your advice

^ Hi,
what's the exact problem/ui issue your are having? (like text color or list item selection color etc.)
I haven't tried modding an app before but I am a full-fledged Android developer.
So I will try to help you if possible.

We need to port this. Add few lines to styles.xml and the smali files.
Ok, I got the editing part. but what should I try to fix?
Is there a list of issues for this?

Hello. Can someone help me learn about dpi settings?
I recall seeing a post in Beans thread that explained how to change the dpi globally to desired setting and then noted the app exceptions to be changed in the per app dpi; however, I've gone back 18 pages (and will continue to look) and still haven't found it.
I also titled search for dpi, read the majority of those threads and haven't found it there either.
I'd love to better understand what it does for me, such as applications opening in a tablet mode instead? I do realize it makes stuff smaller and sharper?
Thnx!

Changing the DPI of apps is what ParanoidAndroid is famous for so if you want to see it in action the easiest way to see oer app DPI settings would be to watch some PA videos about it.
As for the Beans global app DPI changes I have no earthly clue, I run CleanRom and Vanilla Rootbox mostly, but if you want to mess around with it look up the Xposed Framework and the plugin for it that allows per app DPI changes. I would install that and play around with it if it was my first time using per app DPI settings.
I wish I could be more specific about Beans but seeing as how I dont run it I have no clue about it.... Maybe someone who does will be able to help a bit more.

Thank you. I'm familiar and have Xposed Framework installed along with App Settings and can change per app dpi. I'm just trying to better educate myself on what apps are good for "phablet" or tablet mode and how to get them there. Also, wondering about global changes. I have the below instructions but am just trying to read up what I can expect to see, etc...
"navigate to "system" and long press "build.prop", and choose to "open with - text editor". There should be 2 lines, 1 near the top, and 1 near the bottom that say something along the line of ro.sf.lcd_density=320, change that number to 240. Do that for both lines."

As far as I understood build prop changes it for all your apps and can cause some to not work properly with the Play store hence why they came out with the work around with PA and Xposed.
A lot of apps have tablet mode that gets activated when you change the dpi, the best way is just to test really. I havent seen a definitive list of which apps work and which dont so....

This is a great module, is this possible for you to add an optoin to enlarge the smilies inside the chat ? They look great before we select them but once in chat they become so tiny that it is hard to see the emoticon expression. Will be nice if there was a way to enlarge them in chat window.
Thanks a lot

hello, the new BBM version has sticker, it has big icon.
about expression, the size depends on how big the text size. the new bbmthemesengine will enable again text dimension. the expression will follow the text size

It's called "hide navigation bar", you can find it in the download section of the app.
Without root
Is there a way to do it without a root? Like this used to work https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742

I think I have found a solution. Please check my later comment on this thread "https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742/post76057934#post76057934"
yeah ive been struggling with my nav bar as well. before used to be so simple to remove it. login to the forum just to find threads like this and see if someone came up with a solution without root

Hey thx, it worked. This will do for now.
I do have space on the keyboard just like you do. Hopefully someone comes along who can fix it.

I always ended up spacing out space under the keyboard in the other older method anyway so didn't really notice. I find it's more natural to type a bit higher up.
If it's helped please do check out my thread I made on the method and thumbs it up for others
Hey everyone, I actually found a way to remove status bar completely and not have the space under the keyboard. It requires ADB so you'll need a computer with ADB drivers and us debugging enabled on your device. Depending on your situation (what kind of navigation you want to use; OnePlus gestures, Xhome bar etc) this might not work. I currently use OnePlus gestures. There's a setting you enable to remove the navigation bar but you need to give the app ADB access. You'll as well need an app to enable immersion (I use systemui tuner) The result is no navigation bar. This is the only thing I've got working well for me and OnePlus gesture app can be customized a lot.
I hope this helped, and if anyone needs clarification I'll give it.
Hex installer working on this tab s7 s7 plus .

It does cost money (cheap). After you pay the amount, there are many good and free themes. It’s like substratum for unrooted devices (works on rooted too)
