[REQ] Notification Quick Setting Removal - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

What I would like is that all of the quick settings in the notification panel (1 finger pulldown) be removed. However, I would still like to be able to access them from the settings panel (2 finger pulldown).
Personally I find having the toggles in both places extremely redundant and a waste of space that I could be using for my notifications, and it doesn't make it any harder to change settings since the 2 finger pulldown is there.
I am not even sure if this is possible, but if someone could let me know if it is that would be great.
Thanks

I'll take a look at it when I get the fix for making the UI compile

It doesn't even compile with no edits.

I've looked and can't seem to remove them without the ui crashing. Since I don't know how Samsung has tied these into other parts of the ui (and this is my first Samsung device), I could spend days trying to make it work and I don't want to spend that kind of time. Hopefully someone with more touch wiz experience can get this done

You need to add a "+" in front of @layout in the erroring XML files. This solves the compilation problem. You can safely ignore the warnings about the default translation. This has been covered in some other posts; I learned this when I was just starting out on modding the S4 a few weeks ago.

What theme are you using... most of them incorporate the reboot option... unless your using a custom theme... Might try flashing something like gingerblur, or one of the other popular themes in this forum. Then you can edit the framework-res.apk to your liking, replace what ever icons you want back, and you'll have the reboot option as well. Sorry, I'm ot sure how to just add the reboot option though... sure it will require the editing of services.jar or the framework-res.apk.
the theme im using doesnt have it. i want to modify the theme and add it but im no sure what i need to do to add that feature.. does anyone know how?
Can anyone help ...

You could use my MotoBlur theme as a base for your theme. Its just the stock theme with 1% battery and reboot added.

The reboot option is added by editing android.policy.jar.

Tried it the other day for 2.3.4... incredibly difficult... well, maybe not so much difficult, as it is trying to find a complete set of directions... Apparently, the devs used a combination of two different threads that were written for different phones... so the code lines don't match up and it was a damn cluster **** to try an figure out, so I gave up... Kenneth said this will be implemented on his next update for 2.3.4.
I wish I still had the pages saved, but I deleted them after trying to do this for a couple of hours, so I wouldn't be tempted to try it again. Ask in the IRC chat, there are a few people there that can direct you to the right place if you want to attempt, and good luck.
Bump, anyone find a good source for how to do this on gb? I'm not having luck finding the info.

No one's been able to do it yet as far as I know. The gingerbread file structure associated with the reboot option has changed so much that it is incredibly difficult. I had heard a report that Designgears may have figured it out, but I think it was probably a false report, as no Atrix Dev has yet to incorporate it into a ROM or theme.

Just another update... DG said to me a while back that he was able to add the options, but they screwed up the current options so none of them worked. He did not get it working for the Cognition beta.
I tried my hand as well, but couldn't figure it out.
I used gscript and just made a shortcut on my desktop. Works great.
Is it adding the button to the menu that breaks it?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I tried as well, and all I got was me turning my power button into a reset button, options wouldn't show up.. so there was no way to turn it off, it would just reset my phone when ever I tried to pull up the Phone options..
I was working on this a little bit once I got GB update. I am like 80% the way through it. I can link to what I am going off of-
From the Vibrant Forums
I had all the files edited and ready to rock, the problem I was at was the RECOMPILING. I think I was missing some dependencies.
I got all the way up to that point and had to go home for the day at work- never picked it back up. If I get some time at work today I'll give it another crack.
If I get anywhere I'll post my framework-res.apk.
I followed the steps from that thread too and while I could build/compile everything fine and get the options to show in the menu none of the reboot options would work. Seems we're all having similar issues with this.

I was following that thread as well, and my issue was stated above, then I saw this from the DX2 forum, which has GB and on his change log, he stated he added reboot options.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198857
I grabbed his theme, compared the framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and android.policy.jar files.. they pretty much match up with ours. So, using Notepad++, I did a compare between the files, added what he added, basically looks like the same things from the vibrant how-to. This time around, when I press for the power options, it comes up normal, but the link to the 'reboot' does not show up... I might try this without the battery %, as that takes up alot of the hex id....
I'm thinking we might need to add that line from DG that he did a while back for the first reboot options on froyo...
I also have no problems with recompile... I'll mess around with it some more when I have free time.. I don't spend much time inside during the summers..
has anyone decompiled the framework-res from the g2x's gb build or maybe even CM? Not USE the framework of course, but maybe see what flags that policy uses for a reboot?
edit* seems like previous posted may have tried what I asked. back to the digi drawing board...

[Q] How do I mod 23 toggles to look more stock

Here's what I got im running CleanRom vzw Lite but I wanted more toggle options I found a flashable zip in a different carriers forum here on xda called GT-N7100_WanamLite.XXDLJ2.23Toggles and I flashed on Cleanrom vzw lite and it works all 23 toggles but the 4g and signal strength icons are different is there any way to get the Verizon factory looking ones back in there and if so how? I would also like to change the toggle back ground color closer to stock the one in the zip is black. If anyone could send me in the right direction that would be great or would like to whip that up for me that would be awesome..

Well that's the easiest way. I don't have the app to look at it but I'm sure it's in the res folder. Also just pull the images from a stock ROM. So basically you are gonna need someone to make it for you.

The easiest way is to extract everything and look at the images and then modify them, make new ones or kang them from a rom or theme you like. It's not real hard, but it takes time to figure out which icons you need to change. Ninja is good if you don't have a PC around and only have a couple icons to change but it's a pain for multiple icons. You'll need to change at least 2 icons for each toggle, one for active and inactive (some may have more). Use winrar or 7zip to drag and drop into the apk, then flash it in recovery or swap it out in the system files and reboot.

Between the two icons he wants changed there are more than 10 pngs to change (which isn't too bad in Ninja) but also its a lot easier finding things if you just extract it first. If you find multiple similar icons you can do trial and error to find which ones are used, or what I do which is compare different themes to see what they changed. Ninja is great though because when I do a theme at night and find that I missed one icon while at work I can fix it right away instead of going nuts with my OCD.

I guess I'm just to lazy to grab my computer most the time and just do it from my phone. I really haven't messed with toggles though so I assumed it was just two images per toggle. I think for the op your method is going to be much easier though if he wants to give it a shot.

dev help

after looking through many forums and some personal trial and error, i've decided to give this section a try.
i dont know crap about developing. i know how to flash through recovery, use basic adb commands, decompile apks, and open up the files in notepad++. thats about it. but i really want to start and i thought that some (relatively) simple changes to the system ui would give me a good starting point. but i'm trying to fumble my way through the systemui.apk from newts sense 5 rom to attempt a mod. but, like i said, i have to idea what im looking for. since sense 5 is so new, i cant find anything about it, and from looking, all the ui names and directories are slightly different.
my main goal is to gain a semi-transparent notification drawer background. if possible, i would like to attempt to get the app drawer background semi transparent also (but i'll cross that bridge later)
so if anyone can point me in the right direction, to a thread or the actual file in the apk, i would be most appreciative. i could even kick down a small donation for somebody that has the time. thanks
AFAIK it's framework.apk and thismay help

[MOD]AOSP enabled navbar - AOSP ROMS and GE only

To be clear, these will only work for AOSP ROMs and the GoogleEdition ROM.
Threw these together for myself. Love having the navbar but it is a pain to add every nightly I flash. So I threw this together. I made two versions. One simply adds the navbar and disables the capacitive menu and back buttons (with them active the navbar becomes nearly impossible to use) and triggers the navbar. Fear not, this mod triggers the in app menu overflow access and for that matter you could then create a menu on the navbar. I couldn't automate disabling the backlight so that will still need to be disabled via settings>advanced>sensors. I also made a version that changes the device DPI from 480 to 360 (my preferred DPI).
Download - AOSP_navbar_enabled.v3.zip
Base version above now allows OTA survival. Will reapply itself after each nightly.
Download - AOSP_navbar_enable_360dpi.zip
Download - AOSP_remove_NAVBAR.v3.zip
Here is the method to inject changed into the build.prop that I used (found here)
On the GoogleEdition ROM it does not support disabling the capacitive button backlights natively so the app from the following thread is needed

Thanks for this. Is it possible to only activate the in app menu overflow without adding the nav bar? It's so much more intuitive to have that, rather than guessing whether or not the menu button will do anything within each app (the whole reason google got rid of the menu button in the first place).
I wish I knew how!! To be frank, when you enable the navbar and disable the capacitive buttons it activates the menu overflow within apps all by itself. Must be part of the navbar framework. But let me look into it. I MIGHT have an idea but it would be ROM specific, not a general mod like this. What ROM are you running or would like such a feature for?

The build prop edit is a rather short way to accomplish that which you desire. And yes, it busts much of that which may go unnoticed for a while.
You have a few options here, but the great harvest can be had over on the international Note 3 themes and apps section.
There you will find an Xposed module, and some ported apps that allow for most of that which you desire.
T-Mobile forums have a similar but varied clutch if options.
I use the Xposed modules, inasmuch as I can nuke the theme of so desired.
Here is the link for the Xposed modules,

some people reported issues with it breaking some apps I am guessing due to it changing your device model in the prop .. my thought was same as your trying to avoid any issues behind the scenes now or in the future.

It breaks apps in settings, and has many unforeseen consequences. It's cool to see the status bar changes, like the spinning spark symbol, but it to me wasn't worth other features may getting tanked.
