Hi there,
loving my new Galaxy but I don't really fancy the page indicator telling me what page of the home screen I am on. Any option to hide it? And no I wanna stick with TouchWiz so no other Launcher suggestions please ;-)
Thanks
DoubleYou
anybody any ideas?
Hmmm I'm curious about this too.....
Im still very n00b to android but off the top of my head im thinking about the possibility of getting into the touchwiz files and making the page indicator graphics transparent.
There's probably another, more efficient way than that but..... .
I've no idea if that's possible but I would certainly hope so. Ill be looking into theming this thing when I get my sgs2 and if I have any luck ill let you know.
I hate page indicators.......

Yes let me know please in case you find a way? I was actually hoping someone had already found a way to do this though ;-)

I did it....
I dont know if there are any differences between the touchwiz apks in different ROMS but to be on the safe side, upload the file "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" from "/system/app" for me and I will get rid of that pesky page indicator for you.
Its not completely removed, it still works if you long press on it, its just invisible.

sounds great will PM you tomorrow.
hmmm just noticed that the numbers are still there.
I was using a black wallpaper so I didnt notice before...
Damn. Will keep playomg around with it.
I also would of thought it would be as simple as making the numbers transparent, even a blank .png file?

Afraid not. They are called into play by a line of code somewhere.
They can be disabled in the same way you would disable the names of apps displayed under the icons our another item of text. Its just a matter of finding the right line to tweak.

Ah, that makes sense. Hmm bit of pain!

I don`t know i didn`t tryed
I believe that this is the right place to post this request.
Whenever I select a text box or a flash item in the browser is flashes a yellow color.
I hate it and i want it to leave! It seems like the item is freezing and it is ugly.
Can it be removed somehow? I believe it can on be done the hard way!
wrong section & this is normal.

wrong section. but to answer your question, flash a theme that changes the colors in the web browsing...
Is it a theme thing? I'm sorry I thought that it was something deeper.
It's not only the browser but also the text boxes.
i have to disagree to you guys. afaik this has nothing to do with themes, it's just the yellow border which marks links and everything else in the browser. it's right in the development board. i can understand that you don't like it, i personally don't really care about it...
i'm pretty sure this can be done by any developer. but not by me, my android skills are very weak
maybe some dev picks this up...
This is definitely a theme issue. You need to edit a. 9.png, either in framework-res or the Browser.apk. Those are a huge pain to edit, but you can change the color, or make it transparent if you want to get rid of it altogether. I'm no themer, but I think if it's totally transparent you can cheat and skip the complicated part of preparing the. 9.png before you push it. Or you might be able to just delete it altogether. I'm sure if you post this over in that section you'll find an answer from somebody who knows better than me.
I was looking for some nice honeycomb touch for my 101. I already found a gingerbread framework wich looked very nice, however unfortunately my archos 101 gets bootloops everytime I try to install it.
I was wondering if its possible to move the buttonbar to the statusbar (with arctools maybe) and then move the bar to the bottom of the screen (as seen on honeycomb). I would also love to see the search icon removed, as its useless in my opinion.
Otherwise some help to get the framework from this post succesfully installed would be highly appreciated.

I would love to see this
And i think this is possible, you have to find the right parameters in the right files..
I dont know anything about frameworks but msticninja and fisha21 should know this
Maybe you could pm ninja
We had have very much discussions about the soft buttons and or status bar

Yeah shouldn't be too hard, as Cyanogenmod for Archos 101 has something like this already! However I will not PM anyone from this board since its a matter of respect, as I am being a newbie. I know how it feels like, if some newbie comes, demands something and already annoy some ppl. Maybe I am just being hypersensitive xD

Moving the buttons to the notification bar is easy, just use urukconfig on uruk, or Arctools on stock.
I may be able to remove the search button as well by editing the virtualkeys files.
Moving the bar to the bottom though, I'll have to look into CM7 and see how they do it, but it may not be possible on froyo.

It looks like the virtualkeys files don't control the buttons once they've been moved to the notification bar. Not sure if I can remove buttons.
To move the bar to the bottom, CM7 did alot of java work. I can move it to the bottom, but I can't get it to expand upwards. I have to modify the logic in StatusBarService.java, particularly the performFling method on line 1159, but it's gonna be really hard. Not even sure if it will work with froyo. I'll keep trying.

I did try looking into this (before I got distracted by my shiny new Transformer )
Once you move the buttons into the notification bar, the icons change. These new icons are found in the "drawable" folder of the framework-res.apk eg stat_sys_back_p.png. There are also associated .xml files, but these just tell the system which icon to show when the button is pressed. Haven't yet found where the appearance (order, size etc) are controlled.

I'm still trying to duplicate the upwards fling. I've got it working sometimes, but when you hiccup or stop in mid fling, it gets stuck sometimes, usually causing a soft-reboot. See if you can find the button layout for me, I'll keep working on the bar itself.

Is there any way i can help?
hey guys. is it possible to hide the status bar from the lockscreen? I'm good with .xml, .smali or any other kind of edit. i just need to be pointed to where I would need to go.
I tried searching and came up empty handed. i'm trying hard to like the lock screen. i already changed the backgrounds (much better now), currently working on a custom lockring, last thing would be to hide that ugly status bar...it's only showing me what the lockscreen already shows anyways.
thanks for the info.
Download the app Widget Locker...U can remove taskbar and also a lot of customization to your style
I'm a big WidgetLocker fan, with my own custom themes made and all that when i was on the Evo 3D. i'm trying to move on with the times and use this nifty sense lockscreen. just has a few kinks to work out.
but if i dont end up fixing it to my liking soon enough i'll download widgetlocker again.
anyone else have any ideas as to how to get this done?
If you go into titanium backup, and freeze statusbar, it will do what you want, it will also remove in regular screen, possibly decompile lockscreen.apk and see if you can do it there.

that is not what I want to do at all. I don't want to make the status bar unavailable everywhere in the system. just within the lockscreen.
if I knew where to go, I can make .xml and .smali edits or whatever else. I just don't know how to search for things from scratch :-(

I'm just guessing, so this could be a useless thought, but... I think checking in idlescreen base would be a good start. You wouldn't probably want to mess with this in system UI because that would likely just hose the whole bar. Team d3rp seems to have maybe figured out making the bar transparent, which would leave the icons and if course be clear everywhere else too... but it's still finicky across the roms, so not quite done yet. pstevep is the man, and maybe could help? See what you can find and then maybe send him a pm.
bumpity bumb
bump, bump, bumpity bump.
any way to do this?
i would say edit lockscreen.apk (decompile and fish around) and also look in a androidpolicy.jar probably some lines of code your could remove/add to make it happen.
clever idea by the way. i am still trying to resolve issues with my idea of clearing notifications from the lockscreen by double tapping the home key. had it figured out for a little bit but it was causing apps to force close :/
again i like your idea... i probably wouldn't use it myself simply because i wouldnt be able to see important details or notifications etc without unlocking the phone

OK, I've seen some threads recently about getting rid of the bottom bar and honeybar or whatever. So, I developed a simple method to get rid of this. However, DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT A SEASONED ANDROID ENTHUSIAST as this could mess some things up for you. Well, just one step... delete systemui.apk. Bar gone forever.
Sent from my tablet thing with XDA Premium.
I cannot believe there isn't a clean method ofrece hiding the bottom bar. Is there any??
I dont see why anyone would want to do this, but if you must, it would be much safer to just rename the file so you have a backup in case you want it back.

no, doesn't work unless it's deleted. There's something about android that always detects if it's there.
deleting is the only fix.
Thanks OP! Finally something that works.
so ahm..it would just not be there? i just dont like it when am playing games.
