Currently overlays for navbar height don't work, so this is the only way to kill the navbar for now.
first thing, BE SURE YOU HAVE PIE CONTROL, OR WHATEVER YOU'RE REPLACING THE NAVBAR WITH INSTALLED AND CONFIGURED BEFORE DOING THIS, OR YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH NO BACK OR HOME BUTTON.
also when modifying themes, please don't redistribute them without first getting permission from the author, this info is provided for personal use only.
Open the apk of the theme you want to modify with APK Editor, choose to open it as file replacement.
find com.***.common.apk (*** varies per theme) in the assets folder and extract it by tapping the disk icon next to it
back out of the theme apk, and go find the file you just extracted, and open it, this time as full edit (resource re-build)
click the files tab
under assets > values open public.xml and add the following above the last line:
Code:
<public type="dimen" name="navigation_bar_height" id="0x7f060000" />
<public type="dimen" name="navigation_bar_height_landscape" id="0x7f060001" />
<public type="dimen" name="navigation_bar_width" id="0x7f060002" />
(depending on how much is already in the file, you may need to change the 0x7f6000... values to something thats not already used. just take a look at the other stuff in there and take note how those are numbered)
click save, then go to dimens.xml and add this
(if dimens.xml doesn't exist you'll need to create it and save it on your sd card with the following in it, then add it i the values folder with apk editor by clicking the + at the bottom)
(omit lines 1, 2, and 6 if adding to an existing file, just be sure to insert above the last line so </resources> is at the end)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">0.0dip</dimen>
</resources>
click save, then click build, if there are no errors, it will build, and save as gen_signed.apk. rename your original common.apk to something else, then rename the new file exactly the way the original was named.
now go back into your theme apk, again as file replacement, and find common.apk, this time clicking the edit button by it, and selecting your newly created one.
click save, and it will build a new theme apk. close out apk editor, then go find that file, and move it to /sdcard or wherever you want and rename it to something. then install. the modified theme will then show up in theme center.
from there just apply the theme in trial mode, then kill the theme service using whatever method you prefer, to make it stick.
thank you for clarification, I just assume it's from lock.apk coz you know nav icons are from system ui. Will add this to my OP. ?
Great info, thank you. I've been trying to figure this out lately to get a smaller 30pt Navbar.
Question: I have a theme I paid for from the Samsung theme store, but for the life of me, cannot find it with apkeditor or apkextractor. Where can I find the theme's apk so I can make this tweak? I managed to do it with a different theme from an apk I found through Google, but want to apply the smaller Navbar to the theme from the store.
Cheers

You can use ninjamorph for changing status bar background image
But it will only work if the status_bar.xml has a @drawable value for status bar background
If it doesn't and has a hexadecimal value it will not work as it's not pointing to a picture that can be changed
You will need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the value to @drawable/name of image and then place the image in the drawable-ldpi folder
You can change any other status bar image but it's a slow way of doing it as you can only change one image at a time (you can change as many as you like before you confirm change & apply I mean you cant multi select)
It's easier to unzip the apk & replace files
At op - to avoid confusion of warze instead of posting link to Dropbox post the link to download from the playstore - will also mean people will be downloading latest version
This is playstore link

You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone
(there are apps to edit xml files on phone but they don't work with android compressed xml files within apk)
@marcus
Thanks mahn... Uh explained them rightly... (Y)
I don't like ninja morph!
What I do is rename the apk to .zip and make changes inside the zip with powergrasp. And when done rename it again

That is easier if you have a lot of mods to do
Ninjamorph was created to change a single file quickly on the fly - its not designed for multiple file replacements

Depends what you tried to change
For example of if you tried to change the status bar background image and there's not an entry in status_bar.xml for a @drawable png image it would be impossible to change using ninjamorph as there is no pointer to an image in systemui.apk
And of course you have to finish the project and apply changes without zip aligning
It does work if used correctly and for the right use

ninjamorph is just a simple and user friendly tool
there is also a script that manages to change png files using terminal emulator
i use both.
i dont like extract and rezip for some reasons
Please stop all of this.... Its just a app..
So if any one want and they don't know about it then they can get...
So please stop arguing about which bad or good app... As all apps are made by some efforts of developer, so we should respect that effort instead of argueing about which is best !

hi, can anyone replace icons from archive to apk in archive ? http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/52683022/file.html because when I'm doing it and changing this app in system/app icons are stretched, I changed icons via WinRar because when I'm trying to de/recompile this app via apk tool and other similar applications I have errors and can't do it properly
regards
Yes... But I need the original .pngs (those are from a decompiled .apk) - you can obtain them easy just unzip that .apk using "7 zip". And the framework-res.apk from the same folder (framework) as SemcGenericUxpRes.apk you are trying to modify (because I need to install it in my "APK Multi-Tool", otherwise I can't recompile the .apk)
so here is my framework and original icons http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/11770168/file.html
XperienceD said:
Quick Tip: If all you want to do is edit or replace normal images, things like your Status Bar icons or Menu icons like those used in the main screen of Settings then decompiling IS NOT necessary, simply open the apk in a zip program then just drag and drop any replacement images in to the correct folder, for images like your actual Status Bar which may have a .9 at the end then decompiling IS required.
Note: It's important to use STORE as the compression method when replacing images in the apk.
Also Note: .9 pngs need to be edited ONLY when in the decompiled folder, if you just take a .9 png and edit it then you won't be able to see the borders that the system needs to determine how that image should be displayed. I have included links at the end of this post to help with .9 editing along with links to other various theming resources that I've come across and bookmarked.

You need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and edit two xml files to the ones indicated in red in the lines shown below, basically change #FF000000 to #00000000
1 res / layout / tw_super_status_bar.xml
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView android:background="#00000000" android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
2. res / values / drawables.xml
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00000000</item>
Save the two files and compile the apk and flash back to your phone
You only need to flash the two files 1 is the TW-Super_Status_Bar.xml and 2 is the Resources.arsc not the whole apk, just extract the files from the compiled apk to the same file location using a flashable zip like vrtheme.
1. goes in the res / layout folder
2. goes in the SystemUI.apk folder (the same location as the res folder not in the res folder)
If it does not appear to work on the lock screen go to live wallpapers and set any live wallpaper as your home and lock screen then it should work.

Its an xml edit, decompile the systemui.apk, go to res/ values/ drawables.xml. Open that xml with notepad++ or a similar text editor, go the the line "notification_background_color" change from ff000000 to 80000000 for semi trans the lower the first number the more transparent it will be. Then recompile the systemui.apk. Then either you can pull the resources.arsc file from the built apk and put in a vrtheme flashable, or just push the whole new systemui.apk to your phone.

You need to decompile framework-res.apk, remove tw_backround_holo_dark.xml from res/drawables and add a png image with the appropriate size into drawable-nodpi and (to be sure) even into the other folders which contain drawables. Rename it like the file you removed, but like .png, not xml. Then you must rebuild and so on.
You need apktool and some basic skill. Look for a tutorial, it is easy.
Decompile framework-res.apk
Then open res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark.xml
change like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:drawable="@drawable/tw_background_holo_dark" />
</shape>
and copy your background (tw_background_holo_dark.png) to drawable-xhdpi folder
compile and have fun.
To be true, both ways do work, though the second one is surely cleaner. My way simply recreates the situation before kit Kat, when there was no XML with its hard coded solid color.
Obviously keeping the XML is better for example when you want to set a transparent background and, in that case, you also need to edit a boolean in styles.
This way should work too
Decompile framework-res
delete res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark.xml
and replace desired png file and name it tw_background_holo_dark.png to same place.
compile
done.

The matter with adding your apps in settings is not as easy as replacing the background. Here is an example, but I think you can find much more http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/guide-how-to-port-mokee-listview-t2808288
Regarding the fact the modified background does not show in contacts and dialer, I am running transparent contacts (not modded by me) on my note 2, and the background (this one edited by me) is correctly shown. To be true, my background is transparent too, but it worked the same with a modified background image. I am not a themer, but I can suggest you should modify the Holo dark background too, to be sure your contacts and dialer don't use it.
Coming to the ram used by secsettings, though your note 3 can surely bear it effortlessly, it could be related to the way apktool rebuilt the apk: zip aligning?
I am fairly a noob in these matters... Sorry.

The matter with adding your apps in settings is not as easy as replacing the background. Here is an example, but I think you can find much more http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/guide-how-to-port-mokee-listview-t2808288
Regarding the fact the modified background does not show in contacts and dialer, I am running transparent contacts (not modded by me) on my note 2, and the background (this one edited by me) is correctly shown. To be true, my background is transparent too, but it worked the same with a modified background image. I am not a themer, but I can suggest you should modify the Holo dark background too, to be sure your contacts and dialer don't use it.
Coming to the ram used by secsettings, though your note 3 can surely bear it effortlessly, it could be related to the way apktool rebuilt the apk: zip aligning?

So, if it does not compile, then you mustn't have very likely edited the xml in the right way.
The code to add should be the following
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Your app" android:key="your app" android:fragment="name of the package" />
I suppose, before decompiling, you used
apktool if
both for framework-res.apk and for the tw framework (it maybe important and could cause the issues in compiling).
If everything is right and still it does not compile, please share the log and I am sure that someone more skilled than me will be able to help you.
Regarding the background image, touchwiz uses (as you know) tw_background_holo_dark.xml (or png) but the framewoks still contains background_holo_dark.png, i.e. the standard android background.... Since I am not a themer, I don't know if your dialer needs both backgrounds to be replaced.. Just for me, since it is quite fast, I usually replace both files.
Coming to the ram in settings, I think I don't get what you are asking for, sorry

my settings bg is transparent and it works great but i have one app called xblast tools and when you click on a setting and the other menu pops up it over laps the previous screen. it only happens on this app. is there anyway to change that so it does not do that and if so could someone point me in the right direction. i know if i use wanam i could change my settings bg to be dark but i dont want to change all of it, just this one app.
