[Q] lock icon - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hey all
I can't seem to find the answer to this question. But what is this lock icon in the upper right corner on the notification bar mean
I have been looking all day for what this means. Any one know? Thanks in advance.

It puts your phone in lockscreen. Lockscreen shortcut so you don't have to use hard keys I guess. I don't like it so I don't use it, however I did notice it on the excellent deviant themes.

I noticed this too after I flashed a deviant theme. I also didn't like it and couldn't figure out how to change any of the things in the notification area, ie clock, battery etc. Would like to know how to get rid of the lock symbol and change the look of the notification bar in the deviant theme. Love the theme but this is a killer for me, had to go back to previous theme.

Are those Wanam presets? Let me check...since if they are, you can just get rid of it with a few taps within Wanam...
Ah, those are the ones that came from the hockey mask themer dude.
Anyway, when I looked inside of those, most of what I saw were apk replacements, not image mods (unlike swapping out png files, those replace the existing apps in system).
Meaning that, if I'm right, they are all or nothing propositions, your apps, once swapped, gain the latter's characteristics, and lose the former's.
Unzip the mod, and if the framework or system ui are outright replacements and not folders filled with a bunch of image files, your choices are...
Keep the mod, and try to use Wanam to deep-six the padlock,
Keep the mod and live with same,
Try one of the other mods on the themes and apps forum that uses a png swap/vrtheme approach, and you'll have no padlock to remove

Thanks! Way over my head though! I played in the wanam settings and wasn't able to change anything about it. I am learning something new everyday, hope I can understand the resolve you described someday as I really liked the theme especially the dialer that is way cool. Thanks again!

I'm on KitKat, but I'm almost certain that in jellybean that there is an option under the notification settings for persistent lockscreen icon in status bar.

How does one tell if the theme uses the png swap/vrtherme approach as you talk about by looking at the theme as a flashable package?

[MOD] I9000 *matte* skin and accurate battery *10/5/2010*

First and foremost, this would not have originally been possible without all the hard work zimphishmonger and the3dman13 did to bring fighspit's original battery mod to the vibrant, please see the original thread here, and give them some thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756441
I'm also borrowing zimphishmonger's warning, as i think it works to keep warning messages standard across all these battery mod threads.
WARNING: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup prior to installing any modification, including this one. You are making the decision to install this on your own, and I am not responsible for anything nuclear that may happen to your device.
UPDATE.. I lost count (10/5/2010)
So I dig Eugene's Frankin-twiz rom's, but I still want to keep my accurate battery mod, and well, I think his glossy-black skin is ugly. I also think the stock vibrant touchwiz skin is ugly (for the love of all that's holy samsung, why did you decide the vibrant would be the ONLY galaxy s phone to get your stupid glossy version of touchwiz?!)
So, I ported my battery mod to frankin-twiz and at the same time, ripped all the matte (non glossy) drawable's from the I9000 touchwiz skin, and added in my colored status/signal, mms, calendar, music player, and gmail icons, restored the black background for the power control widget, added HTC's weather icons to GenieWidget.apk, changed to the stock I9000 bootup and shutdown animation and sounds, and of course, I probably missed something else too, lol. You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink
Also, if you find yourself being a typography nerd like me, you can use this zip to switch the default system font to Comfortaa I take NO CREDIT WHATSOEVER for making the original font, or the android port, I only re-packaged the files into a Clockwork-mod zip file for the vibrant. This will also change the lockscreen clock font to comfortaa, but ONLY if using the default android lockscreen.
Comfortaa system fonts: http://www.4shared.com/file/hYu1TYHL/Comfortaa_system_fonts_ONLY.html
New for ftwiz_final: I'm including an extra version with the samsung calendar AND the AOSP mms app, per Eugene's thread, since it resolves issues with being unable to send sms/mms messages. I'm also including the newest version of my battery mod (this is the version I personally like best and use daily), based on the upright/vertical icons, but with colored borders/outline, and a smoother charging animation (thanks to untermensch!) This can be applied on its own, after you flash either of the other versions. If flashed without flashing one of the other versions first, it DOES NOT contain the gmail/calendar/mms/music player icons, or the startup & shutdown animations and sounds. You can see a screenshot added to the post below too.
Download links here, ftwiz_final ONLY:
Removed, sorry, too many people use other people's work without giving credit, and it leads to way too many headaches, he-said/she-said, ignorance, etc.
Everything should flash via clockwork recovery fine, place the zip on the root of your INTERNAL /sdcard directory, reboot into clockwork, I recommend wiping the cache & dalvik-cache, then install zip from sdcard, locate the specific zip, reboot.
Enjoy, cheers everyone, and if you come in here posting bugs/whining for help without first making sure you cleared your cache and dalvik-cache, then I'm just going to ignore you,
Looks Great!!!
Thanks alot works well on my phone
i love it! not a big fan of the round battery icon, so this is great
Great work! Glad to see everyone is making their own customized battery images. We are gonna have a battery collection soon.
just a quick update to the OP with a new version with some colored/themed status icons.
cheers

I did, switched from the green circle. The battery indicator works fine.
I used the circle one but saw this with the other colored icons and thought they were cool. Seems that they don't quite work properly. Stock the GPS indicator shows in the notification bar any time it's on. With the new icons from the op the indicator is only on if I'm in an app that is using the GPS. I'm going to flash back to stock then to the battery only mod (i figure I need to to switch the other icons?)

Hi,
Thanks for trying it out. I have no idea how there might be issues since this is literally just img replacement from the segmented green circular battery mod, so however icons should work with that mod, is how they should work with this mod.
Maybe run a fix permissions from rom manager and see if that helps?
Also, my GPS icon has never worked like you described, even stock, (in other words, mine isn't always visible in notification bar, even when not in an app actively using gps, its displayed only when using an app that needs GPS, and disappeared when exiting the app.)
If you want to try and modify your own framework-res.apk with these files, I may upload just my png images once I'm done replacing/coloring all the icons I feel like modifying.
Thanks again for trying it out though, cheers
Lastly, I got bored and colored the wifi icons, cell-signal icons, and vibration indicator icon, I'll post the framework-res.apk in the first post, but won't package a new update.zip until I decide I'm done modifying icons, lol.

Excellent work! I like the new colored signal icons. Consider possibly creating a metamorph of it, as they are very easy to update.

Thanks for the help in getting everyone started with the battery mod, now I just need to decide when enough is enough for theming icons, lol.
Anyway, I'm about to head to bed, but I'm attaching a zip with the signal icons I modded, so if anyone wants to make a metamorph, go ahead, just please give a link back to this thread when/if you post.

So I went back to stock to check and you're right. I must have imagined that.
I'll be switching back to your colored icons and battery now.
And as soon as you are done changing the icons and create a zip I'll switch to those. I like the color.

Hey again,
Glad I wasn't screwing up phone's, lol.
Anyway, I'm still working on changing all the icons, can't seem to decide where to stop yet, since now I've started modifying icons for other apps, gmail, mms, google voice, trillian, etc. And of course, now that I've gone with a slightly brighter green in the other icons, I may go back and tweak the color of my battery icon to match.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of some of the icons I'm mostly finished with (though for some reason I'm not digging the alarm icon, anyone have color suggestions for it?)
cheers,

Yeah...sorry about that. Anyway I hate that stupid icon to begin with so maybe something totally different? I did a GIS for alarm clock icon and there are a lot of possibilities. I think that maybe the stock one with a red square and white clock could be good.
Edit: Maybe something like this

Great work.

If you don't already have it, I suggest you install Koush's Clockwork Recovery. You can install it quickly by using ROM Manager.
Once you boot into the recovery ROM, you can back up your entire phone using Nandroid (highly advised) and then you're free to experiment to your heart's content.
Now back to your question: you can save the file to your internal SD card and search for it using the 'Install from SD' (or something like that) option in the Clockwork ROM, install it and reboot.
Good luck, friend.
What's the right way to revert this? framework-res.apk restore?
Updated OP with newest mod.
I think I'm done with this for a while now, though I might zip all the png files if someone else wants to try and make this into a morph when the app gets updated.
cheers,

Hi,
Yes, restoring your backed-up framework-res.apk will restore the battery mod. If you used the newer zip that also includes the Gmail icon mod, then you'll need to restore Gmail.apk too /system/app too.

Willing to Pay :)

Ok, I am done pulling my hair out so maybe I can pay someone else to do this for me lol.
I want a Transparent Status Bar exlcluding the Clock / Battery .. All I want is Notificatons on left hand side and Signal/Wifi on the right hand side.
I have been trying to change framework to make it work but however all I can manage to do is either make it completely dissapear or change the color. I thought that I could atleast hide the notifications by making the battery and clock display transparent but when I do that it off centers the wifi/signal bars and just doesn't look right.
I however have not been succesfull at making the Bar itself transparent.
So, to sum it up. I will pay for someone to do this for me or willing to accept any and all pointers on how to accomplish this myself.
Systemui controls expanded status bar and everything except the battery. In systemui goto res/layout/ you can set dip of items to say 0.9999999 to hide it. Also colors.xml in res/values/
Running ICScrewD ROM
So you want a transparent status bar with only notifications and wifi/signal without the clock on the right?
How much $$$?
u in the right forum bro?
@Thegodfather
Yeah, I would think this is the right forum as its a Theme request.
@Ssconceptz
Yes, transparent Notification Bar with just the notifications on the left and Wifi/Signal Icons on the right. No battery Icon or Clock.
@Alucardis
Depends on how greedy you are lol. I don't mind paying for someones work but I am not rich either lol.

Ill look into it but I heard the transparent bar doesnt work on the home screen of TouchWiz so this may be your issue. I am looking to remove the AM/PM as in ICS so I can probably test this too.

@ Thegodfather
Sorry bout my signature. I did have the Skyrocket for a few days but took it back due to it being a major annoyance. The new APN's they use for the LTE Data plan is stupid and gave me more data issues then I care to touch on.
Will update as soon as I get out of this reply
@ Ssconceptz
I don't use TWiz currently do to this issue haha. I am using ADWEx because I can totaly hide the Status Bar but I don't care for doing that tbh. I played with Launcher 7 and its statusbar replacement but couldnt get it to work right after pulling things apart so trashed that project. I dug into some MIUI Framework but I can't even start to compare what they changed.
Is there a way to replace the StatusBar.apk from system with a customized version without it breaking somehting else.

Maybe take a look at

Free version:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7barfree
Just what a quick google search brought up
The problem with WP7 bar is it is just overlay and doesnt actually replace the stock status bar and it actually uses a bit of battery. This is the reason I want the stock status bar modified.

If I were you...I would flash MIUI, then d/l extended mod settings, flash it and you can swich the statusbar layout and it will be transparent....if your sold on having touchwiz i dont think it is going to happen for u. Everytime i tried i could never get it transparent. So im on miui....plenty of great themes too.
@Boobie Watcher
I don't like MIUI. I don't know what it is I end up doing but I always have terrible battery life and it just seems buggy.
I know.there has to.be a way to make it.transparent. just how lol.

But I'm personally a red-colored guy, and this orange theme is closest to red, so I think I might like this. I'm not nearly dedicated enough to make it myself, this should be pretty good though I'll report back after I flash it, probably tomorrow. Still at school now

Reverts are just useful, has nothing to do with disliking the theme.
This is a great theme. Very nice shade of orange.
-I really like the pull down notification bar: perfect tinting and crisply colored icons.
-The circle on the pulldown looks a little pixelated. I'm a big fan of CM7's "Basic Orange" pulldown with 3 crisp lines.
https://lh5.ggpht.com/Y20P9I2aLyRD_QXfFodFg1QJe9ofgScfpkkRN_-Ykxs7zT4OZ8nbgUlG-1uyZ9R1zw=h230
-There might be a little too much orange on the top status bar: I like orange icons, but the time and the date should just remain a light grey.
- The Wifi icon also has a pixelated look to it when it's not at full signal-- it makes it look a little cartoony, as if it's bold or something.
- menu button pop up on the main screen has a very nice crisp orange line along the top. This is really slick. I like it.
-Themed settings icons are very nice
-Orange 'g' on the google search bar looks a little goofy. I'd leave this unthemed. Although it's a moot point with the updated search bar...
-The one thing I really don't like is that the settings sections of many apps have buttons that are turned completely orange and this rarely looks good. Even the orange checkboxes look bad more often than good in this fashion. I recommend turning this off unless people really like it. A good orange theme can be nuanced.
This orange theme is one of the best considering it doesn't try to go nuts turning all the app icons orange.
Thanks for the feedback. This is helping me alot for the next release. It is ALOT better than the older versions and is way more discrete. I hope to have it out by sometime tomorrow.

Update fixed the overly orange boxes and checkboxes within apps.
However, there are two things I miss:
1. the crisp orange outline of the menu screen when on the homepage and pressing menu (using ADW or launcherpro).
2. Also the orange wifi and signal bars, bluetooth icon. The orange was good here but it just looked cartoony at some points but great when full bars. Can you add these back?
The new notification pulldown handle with orange rectangle is better than the pixelated circle, but what do you think about doing 3 crisp glowing lines like basic orange?
Or what about a glowing rectangle outline-- that might be pretty cool. Let me know what you think.

[Theming][Guide][ME7] Using XposedInstaller and then some

First, I know all of this is mentioned in various areas of the forum. All I am doing is putting the process for using Xposed in one place.
This process definitely works on rooted ME7 Stock or Custom ROM's.
Requirements to do what I am showing below:
Rooted
XposedInstaller - Link
XQuickSettingsToggles - Link
XThemeEngine_beta5 - Link
GunmetalCobalt and other themes - Link
Wanam xPosed for mods like hiding battery - Link
1 and 2 are mandatory.
3 is required for the quick settings themes
4 is required to install themes such as 5. Gunmetal Cobalt which I uses as a base
6 if you want a wide variety of tweaks like colors of icons, hide battery, etc.
XposedInstaller
So, to get started you must first install XposedInstaller so follow these instructions or the ones on that thread.
Download and install apk like any other application with your favorite file manager
Reboot
Open Xposedinstaller and tap install/update to install the framework
Reboot
XThemeEngine:
Install apk just like any other application with your favorite file manager
Open xposedinstaller from applications and go to modules and enable xThemeEngine
Reboot
Install the theme of your choice. I used Gunmetal Cobalt
Install apk like any other application with your favorite file manager
Open xThemeEngine from applications
Choose theme
Apply theme
Reboot when prompted
If it does not look right do a full reboot
If signal bars don't theme use Wanam and change signal bars to 4
Optional: XQuickSettingsToggles
Download and install apk like any other application with your favorite file manager
Reboot
Open xposedinstaller from applications and go to modules and enable XQuickSettingsToggles in modules
Reboot
Go into XQuicksettingsToggles and choose a theme. I like Kalagas.
Optional: The clock is HD Widgets from market
NOTE1: If you don't get network immediately on boot then it is probably Wanam (???) so either wait or just reboot immediately.
NOTE2: Also best to use the power button reboot rather than the one in each app.
Enjoy
That setup looks a lot like business sense

So installed the XTheme and the XQuick settings .. Quick settings appeared to work fine, but no matter what I did I couldn't get the theme to apply entirely to the status bar (Cobaltx). How did you get it to theme the whole thing? Did it just work for you?

Post a screenshot so I can see what's missing
I used Wanam to change some options on the statusbar like hiding the battery icon which can make a difference.

I'll try a reinstall and see what I get. It was the battery icon, signal bars, and wifi bars that didn't work.

You may also need Wanam to change signal bars to 4 with cobalt
I tried this per the OP and GunMetalCobalt theme and it sorta made my Gmail and new messages titles un-distinguished and hard to decipher.
Also, the quick Settings tweak (assuming that's how you get the colors, ect... at the top of the notifications Pulldown, did nothing for me.

You need to go into xQuicksettingsToggles app and pick the theme you like. I am using Kalagas

Here's an example, I switched to plain Cobalt but it's doing the same thing:
Also I tried xQuicksettings Toggles with setting theme as Kalagas but doesn't seem to change anything in the dropdown.

I would post in the Cobalt thread that there is a problem with the G-Mail theming.
Did you select enable at the top of thexQuicksettings setup screen?
Well as soon as I root this thing I will give this a try.
Im a theme junky for sure
Thanks for the step by step
I'm having an issue with the XTheme Engine where it only seems to be theming Icons. I downloaded a theme called Chromium from one of the theme threads here and the screenshot shows it theming almost the entire UI (Settings, Notification Panel, etc.) but I can not seem to get any of those changes to take effect by re-applying/rebooting etc.

Not all themes are going to work correctly unless the are specifically ported for TW and even then not all will work.
The Cobalt series seem to work best for me anyway when I also use Wanam

It was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251952 which seems to provide only XTheme Engine themes.
Edit: I tried "Cobalt Gunmetal" from the first post with the same results. It themes a few of the status bar icons and some portions of the notification center and that is it.

Did you install Wanam and change the signals to 4. That will at least add the signal bars
Which others are not themed?
Sorry for off topic, but did your replacement s4 end up coming with mdk or me7?

My luck it was ME7. Gonna wait and try again
On the other hand I don't like to abuse exchanges and with the arrival of safestrap it may be good enough to move forward.

[Theme] EGT Version 0 3.1.15

On Hold Indefinitely
Important Info
This is the first theme I'm making for the Tab S and it is in testing.
If you download and flash please disregard missing elements in the theme.
I expect to be finished sooner than later. By the end of the weekend maybe.
I'll post any significant additions or improvements if it's not completed by Mon.
I Am Not Responsible For Any Use Of Information Or Files Posted By Myself Or By Any Other User.
Limitations and Solutions
The vr system will theme pngs, .9.pngs and some xmls [font color and some significant background elements].
I personally will theme my stock T700 NL2 rom and add apks to the theme to complete it where I cannot for any rom build because it would cause errors.
If two roms use stock apks with no mods to them you might be able to do this but I would not advise it.
Developers And Rom Users
I'll happily find the time to make this or any theme I put out for the TabS compatible with your rom. Please PM me or let me know.
Theme Design And Name Info
This is a simple theme that will add white and grey [4D5163, 343743] to touchwiz ui.
The name Version 0 is because this is the first time I've released a theme at this early of a stage, it will be relatively colorless and seemed cool enough.
EMPTYGALAXYTHEME comes from my EMPTYGALAXYROM name and I guess a way to encompass all my work. lol
I'm not big on it now but it adds to the fun.
EMPTYGALAXYTHEME
VERSION 0https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9398026/EGT_V0_3.1.15.zip
vr theme flashable zip tested on T700. It should work on any Tab S but I'm not 100% sure about the T800.
Please Report If It Works On Your Tab S
current themed parts
System UI - toggles, icons.
Framework - menus, some background
screenshots when finished
I realize the risk you run flashing a theme without any screenshots or revert zip and I thank you for that[emoji14]
Hopefully I'll need this
Confirmed working on T800. Just needs a few fixes. Power menu is also themed to. So looks like you got that down thank you man
That's how it should look at this point. That's great thanks.
Feel free to use the zip as a map. Some things I didn't need to theme but unzip it and you'll know some of r he pngs. I'd love to know where that side bar in settings is...

Hey changed the icons in sec settings. I still don't know which is the color that blueish one is. I used your theme as a base and filled some stuff in the empty folders. I managed to get the recents bar themed too. I did some cherry picking from discreet blue. The settings now has custom icons. Also fixed the auto brightness tick box while I was at it.
Very nice. Was the recents bar in settings? I'm thinking the side bar background might be an xml.... I hope not though

If I am correct, the recents bar was an XML... I looked at discreet blue and saw that the systemui had layout folder along with an XML file. I'm still trying to figure out the top blue bar in the notification panel. The framework doesn't need changes as its perfect for me.
Here's my zip in case you want to know the things I added. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fehgzqqiu6rbmon/Theme Test 2 DUHAsianSKILLZ.zip?dl=0
I'll check that out if I get a chance. I've got to find all the backgrounds before I'll be changing icons or anything else. Looks like each rom may need it's own themed apks though cuz of values folders

Hey, If you ever get the notification part at the top themed/fixed tell me That's basically all I need since you did most of the dirty work with the framework and systemui. Of course I am theming for the T800 as you can do whatever as you have the T700
That's in one of the value folders in System UI apk. Next time I'm at my pc I'll find exactly where.
Added
It's in one of the colors.xml or drawables.

Can you send me the zip with that? Thanks!
I can later but it's in the apk. So if you're running ironrom you'll need that systemui.apk.

Hey,
I've been busy with the s4 [it needs a lot more attention than the tab] but I saw you've gotten framework themed? Have you found the side settings panel?
That's the only thing keeping me from finishing this.

I don't think I did anything with the framework. Been really busy finishing and studying for exams this week. I'm all finished now though. I tried looking for that part yesterday and I couldn't find it! And I also had trouble with the top nonfication panel. Those are basically the only things left until its finished.
What tab do you have? Lol. I'll need the System Ui from the rom. I'm thinking it's worth focusing on IronRom and your version. Once it's complete it'll be easier to bring it to the others. I have the debloated NL2. .. I might complete something for that. Idk though. You're all over helping the community so honestly I want to return the favor and get this done.

I own the Tab s wifi 10.5 (SMT800). Themes should work fine on T805 also.Here's the Apks I pulled from iron rom. https://mega.co.nz/#F!i0wCTapZ!RP83sWXTdksm4PqpxVQ8wA. Thank you for working/want to work on it for me. Its basically the two things I mentioned in the last post. Theme those then its complete. I'm trying not to work too much on it since lollipop is coming real soon. You'll see me around the community a lot since I own the device . If I owned other devices you'd see me there too. Thanks again! If you don't manage to find it or get things to work, I can try to do it.
Well, I must need to update some tools or something. I can not compile framework. And the SystemUI sent I couldn't compile. The xml that needs to be modded is in value-sw800dp-xhdpi/drawables.xml "notification_header_bg".
Now there is a good chance it's somewhere else because when I did it on my SysUI I went through all the drawables.xml and colors.xml is values folders, values-sw800dp-xhdpi, values-sw600dp, values-sw540dp, values-sw360dp-xhdpi, values-sw320dp and values.
I won't be able to do anything until I can get those compiled

Sorry for the late reply, had a big project to do. I typically use tickelmyandroid tool to compile and decompile the Apks since it uses apktool and all that. Never had a problem. Perhaps I can compile them?
That might work. I'm gonna see about tickle my android. I've never used it. Thanks for the info. I'm still doing work on the s4. I'll try to make some time for the tab.
