Yesterday i saw a couple of interesting mods like putting a data icon to the expanded statusbar (here) and a brightness control bar (here)
so I decided to bring those improvements to my S2.
sadly i dont know that much about modding.
first i made some icons an copied it into drawable-hdpi.
Then I added in quickpanel_quick_settings.xml this
Code:
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="84.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/quickpanel_data_btn_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="2.669983dip" android:src="@drawable/quickpanel_icon_data_off" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.quickpanel.WifiSettingButton android:textSize="10.659973dip" android:textStyle="normal" android:textColor="@color/quickpanel_text" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/quickpanel_data_btn_text" android:paddingTop="54.669983dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/quickpanel_data_text" android:shadowDx="1.0" android:shadowDy="1.0" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/quickpanel_data_btn_status_icon" android:paddingLeft="2.3299866dip" android:paddingRight="2.3299866dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="5.3299866dip" android:layout_marginBottom="4.5dip" android:src="@drawable/quickpanel_icon_off" android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</FrameLayout>
and added the needed values to ids.xml, public.xml and strings.xml.
What else to I need to change to make the data icon work?
(the brighness control bar comes later... just doing it step by step ^^)
I'm using stock rom 2.3.4 KG2 with speedmod kernel
Thanks a lot!
at the moment you can find the Data Toggle in some roms, like Criskelo V10 and Leomar75 Revolution. So the Developers of these roms have the answer of your question. Or look in the zip packages of them
As i said in the title. please edit this systemui.apk. because i want my clock on the center of my Status bar.
and can you edit an xml file there so i can install a battery percentage seperate the battery percentage xml.
Sorry for my Very Bad English.
Thank You in Advance!

still no reply?
It's easy uncompile your .apk
Go in folder res/layout and edit the status_bar.xml
change the line:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" androidaddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
for
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/clock" androidaddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Remove the smiley for : p (no space)
i can't understand the codes when i open the status_bar.xml using notepad++ what should i do?
EDIT: can you just edit my status_bar.xml and upload it here so i can just replace it with the one that you do. Thanks!
I tried doing ONLY what c3ma said with the GX SystemUI.apk (decompile, edit line, save, compile and prepared file for flashing using the Tickle My Android tool). The system booted saying that an app was being updated, but it didn't worked.

I've had a few people recently ask me how to change the colour of various things on their statusbar and/or notifications screen so I thought I'd do a little tutorial.
This will show you how to change the colour of your statusbar clock. It's actually very simple but, once you know about it, you can apply this to all kinds of things.
This is my second tutorial here. If you want to learn how to center your clock, or move about various other items, check out my first one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767593
So, to begin, you will need to edit your status_bar.xml. To get this, you'll need to decompile either your SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk, depending on your rom. If it's not in either apk's, you'll need to decompile something else.
How do you decompile an apk file? Well, it wouldn't hurt to check out Tickle My Android, the link is in my signature.
This is the stock Timescape ICS status_bar.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TickerView>
</LinearLayout>
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView>
This is long and complicated but we only care about one line:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" />
That's the line that controls the appearance of the clock. We're going to edit it to change the clock from white to ICS-style blue...but there are two different ways of doing it..
The Quick Way
I'm not kidding when I say this is quick. We will need the ARGB code for the colour we want. ARGB stands for Alpha Red Green Blue and is a mix of eight hexadecimal characters. For opaque, ICS blue, we will want the code "ff278ab1". And we will want the parameter "textColor".
The new code we need will look like this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" [COLOR="Red"]android:textColor="#ff278ab1"[/COLOR] />
Save, recompile and all the usual stuff and...that's it. Simple, no?
The Slightly Slower Way
Have a look at res\values\styles.xml
This file defines a few styles that can be used by pretty much anything. You may spot a style called TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock being defined here. This is used by the clock in status_bar.xml but it could also be used by anything else. The date, carrier label (if you have it in your statusbar), anything at all.
So let's make a new style:
Code:
<style name="ICSBlue">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff278ab1</item>
</style>
and add it to the file.
Now edit the clock line in status_bar.xml to:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" [COLOR="red"]android:textAppearance="@style/ICSBlue"[/COLOR] android:singleLine="true" />
Save, recompile, blah-blah-blah..
The advantage of doing it this way is you only need to enter the ARGB code once and that new style can be used in any layout file to make anything that colour. Just remember that the style also defines the text size as well.
And here's the result:
And that's the tutorial done. Simple, but very handy to know how to do!
Now, remember "android:textColor" can be used for any text, not just the clock.
Enjoy!

thanx bro...
Awesome! Thanks man.
it's about time someone wrote a decent guide on how to do this.
I've learned this on my own over time, but it would have been nice to start off with a resource like this one.
THANK YOU!!
Time for me to start going hard on decompiling apk
Thanks for this great tutorial.
Does this work on any device?
Thanks for this, a very good TUT!
bigups brov..... well done!!!
currently on mobile, will check it out well on PC!
How advanced is this? Can I do something like the long dead "Reloaded ICS" with it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531222
Because this was awesome and seriously needs to be recreated.

The first method I ever saw for changing the clock colour involved decompiling the apk twice and editing a lot of smali. This is a little simpler!

Yes, and on any rom. android:textColor is a standard Android parameter.

Tickle My Android may have a silly name (although it's easy to remember!) but it is a full, serious de- and recompiler for Android apk's as well as doing other things.
As long as you know what changes to make to what files, it can be used to make something like that.

To use another colour, just use a different ARGB code. Most decent image editors will give you at least a RGB code and you can work out what transparency you need. If you don't have a decent image editor, I recommend Pixelformer. It's not massively powerful but it's free and it's what I use.
As for my battery icon in the screenshot, that's available from Tickle My Android. The link is in my signature.

There are instructions for changing battery icons in the second post on the Tickle My Android thread. Or it could be the third post, I don't remember.

If you've been following these tutorials, you'll know by now how to center the clock in the statusbar and how to change its colour to whatever you like. So far, so good.
Now, let's do something you won't see anywhere else. Let's make it display seconds!
You haven't been following my threads?
Well, click here to find out how to change the clock's colour and here to find out how to center it.
So..let's get started.
We will need to edit status_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk. To do this, we'll need to pull and decompile the apk file from the phone.
What's the best way to do this? Why, with Tickle My Android, of course!
This is the stock code in Timescape ICS:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_vertical" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/stat_no_sim" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />

</ImageSwitcher>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TickerView android:id="@id/tickerText" android:paddingRight="10.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:paddingTop="2.0dip">

<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.PhoneTicker" android:singleLine="true" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TickerView>
</LinearLayout>
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView>
We'll need to edit the line containing the clock:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" />
Now, how do we add seconds to this? XML tags? Smali edits?
Nah..
We'll cheat!
There's a little bit of widget code that's been in Android for ages called 'DigitalClock'. This provides..can you guess..a digital clock! And we're going to use it like this:
Code:
<DigitalClock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" />
This will change the xml to:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TickerView>
</LinearLayout>
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView>
Save, recompile, blah-blah-blah.
And here it is:
It's worth noting that DigitalClock doesn't have any leading zeros. Which means, at one o'clock in the morning, the clock shows 1:00:00, not 01:00:00.
There's also another widget code you might be interested in, which is AnalogClock. This gives you...well, I'm sure you can guess.
This doesn't work well on the statusbar as the clock won't be big enough. But it can be used in other places.
Here's my personal setup on my Mini Pro:
Have fun!
Amazing brotha... trying it out now!
Bro, i can't recompile the file. it said "error, "systemUI.apk" has not been fully decompiled". In fact i already modified the code inside the status_bar.xml
Tickle My Android version 4.3,
Mini Pro ICS .587 stock ROM, rooted.
Thanks.
what about tha analog clock brotha?

Yes, but the apk is still missing information. If you're using the stock rom, chances are you didn't install framework-res.apk before you started decompiling.
Oh, and Tickle My Android is on Version 5.0 now..

Once you've successfully recompiled, you need to prepare the files then make a flashable zip. Preparing signs the new apk in the same way as the old, which you need to do to make the phone accept it.

Whalesplaho, the xda app is misbehaving again and I can't view your post to quote it.
But basically, the code is AnalogClock and you just need to set the width and height. If you examine the full tag for DigitalClock as I wrote in the op, that should give you enough to start with.
The analogue clock is really meant for app developers to use, because it doesn't work well when it's small, but it works well on the tracking part of the drop-down notification screen.
Have a play and experiment with it. It's the best way of learning!

Nope. You can actually use PNG's for the different parts of the clock if you want but what you see in the screenshots is how it looks by default. All you need is code.

Bro, i really dun know what's wrong with my step, please kindly review.
1. Pull framework-res.apk, decompiled and install in PC.
2. Pull systemUI.apk, decompiled.
3. Edit status_bar.xml as stated, then save.
4. recompile systemUI.apk
5. prepare system apps for pushing.
6. sign app.
7. create flashable zip
Here's the problem, i dun understand the purpose of step 5 and 6, am i doing wrongly??
I flash using CMW, boot into recovery and install zip from sdcard.
the result is as follow:
<<FLASHING MOD>>
ADDING XTRA FILES>>
[!] Nothing to do in XTRAS
WORPHING >>
[!] Nothing to morph
{ Nothing has changed }
CLEANING CACHE, TEMPORAL FILES & EXIT >>
Install from sdcard complete.
i reboot and nothing has changed. I tried pull the modified systemUI.apk from phone, and noticed that the status_bar.xml still remained same as original, which doesn't changed as i edit.
Really no idea what's wrong with that.
Thanks in advance.

Don't sign the apk. That's what preparing it is all about.
And it looks like you're creating the zip file without putting any files in it. Once you've recompiled and prepared SystemUI.apk, you need to add it to system/app in the zip menu. Then you can make the zip.

I'm happy to, if I have the time. I might even be able to in a hour or two. In the meantime, what are you using for your de/recompiling?

I do use Apktool on my Windows 7 but not working on Windows 8..... i edited an already decompiled apk!
should i upload & drop tha link?
you have a status bar,
And it got a clock,,,
BUT ALAS, when you try to change its colour
Da hell dude its in smali,, now i have to handle like a thousand lines of code and use google
^^DID YOU EVER FACE SUCH A SITUATION,,, well then,, here comes mvsdroid to enable you to edit the clock text features
with xmls only so dont rot in the SMALI FILES (the horror)
----all u need is ur brain and a tool to work on apks----
1) Decompile SystemUI.apk
2) Open res/layout/Status_bar.xml
3) You will see this
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:gravity="left|center" androidaddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>
kick this line with the delete button and in place of that paste this
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DigitalClock android:id="@id/clock" android:background="#ee000000" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="0.0dip" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
<TextView android:textSize="16.0dip" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="Right" android:id="@id/timeDisplayBackground" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView android:textSize="16.0dip" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="Right" android:id="@id/timeDisplayForeground" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/timeDisplayBackground" android:layout_alignTop="@id/timeDisplayBackground" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DigitalClock>
Now since u have added that android:id attribute,, that cool piece of text shall help us change whatever we want,,,
Now there are two android:textColor attributes...
Find em and change it to whatever hex code you want,, means like if you want ICS BLUE,, make them android:textColor="#ddff00"
and similarly change the size attributes,, so now next time you want that clock to obey ur command,, you dont need no smali!!!!!!
4) Now download the digital clock smali i am giving and place it in systemUI/smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy
5) Then save it and close it
Now download the digital clock smali i am giving and place it in systemUI/smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy
6) Recompile properly
7) Have fun
8) If you had fun in step 6,, press thanks button
<---- dont just see this and laugh,, Press thanks if you like it
STILL ,,, post a reply,, I am still alive to help
