[HOW TO] Enabling qslide apps on LG L7II - LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II

Hello guys this is my first thread so be nice ok!
well,now i'm gonna tell you how to enabling qslide ( floating launcher ) feature on LG Optimus L7 II becuz on default is hidden by LG
1.your phone must be rooted ( no **** )
2.you've Basically know how to compile & decompile
3.notepad++
4.Brainware :silly:
ok then, lets do this
- decompile your LGSystemUI.apk
- open res/values/bools.xml with notepad++
- change the value of:
HTML:
<bool name="config_systemui_feature_floating_launcher">false</bool>
from "false" to "true"
HTML:
<bool name="config_systemui_feature_floating_launcher">true</bool>
-save and exit
-recompile and push back to system/app
-reboot

Why did they add floating launcher to the systemui and hide it?
Thanks, I will try this!

Most probably, because by default, LG used the same systemui, framework, launcher, and so on, both on L7 II and L9 II. Since they wanted L9 II to be a "more premium" device, they've hidden/deleted some software features in L7 II, making L9 II looking much more up-to-date and advanced on software side.

Nice work bro. :good:
Any chance to upload your ios looks alike statusbar? I love it.

for moving signal icon to the left find this code:
HTML:
<include android:id="@id/signal_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" layout="@layout/signal_cluster_view" />
cut & paste to below this code:
HTML:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notification_icon_area" android:tag="NO_R2L" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
here's preview of my status_bar.xml : https://www.dropbox.com/s/edtfh2i3rrwm3rt/status_bar.xml

Thanks, it works...
But, is it normal to work with only 2 apps in same time?
And browser not float... must i install browser app from l9 II?

How do I decompile apks Pls?
And can you share your system UI to our phones ?

I extracted the LGSytemUI.zip, but I didn't found bools.xml in the directory res/values.

You must decompile apk, not just unzip... Means, you must have properly installed java, tool for compile/decompile etc.
My way to do this job is quite compilcated to explain in this post, but if noone do it, if i have time, i make tutorial.
If someone have easyer way to decompile/compile apks for LG, please share.

My LGSystemUI.apk is here: https://yadi.sk/d/da7a4PtSUSLec
But, i made it (decompile/change value in bools.xml/recompile) ONLY FOR DEODEXED rom, AND your device must be rooted, and with hacked bootloader (to prevent security error?).

Try this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706692 , easiest way to decompile apk's I think, LGSystemUI.apk attached it's for stock odexed ROM. *NOTE: Please, backup first your original LGSystemUI.apk incase something goes wrong.

[Q] How to remuve menus from settings.apk?

i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

Top Notification Bar background color..

I previously had a Galaxy Tab that Ive used for 3 years with Android 2.3 that I customized almost everything, mainly on the framework-res.apk and system.apk.
On the Mega 6.3 running stock Android 4.2.2 I am trying to change the background color of the top Notification bar from the greyish tone it has now to just pure black but I cannot find the resource.. should be a PNG somewhere.. I thought to be on framework-res.apk but I dont seem to identify it.
Does anyone know which file it is or how to change the background color of the top Notification bar?
Thanks a lot in advance

It looks beautiful. Perfect!! Question, now I have a sticky ANDROID IS UPDATING.. Starting Apps pop-up every time I reboot the system just before the reboot is complete and the home screen comes up. Do you know why? Any way to get rid of it? No harm done, is just annoying and delays slightly the boot-up time..
Can you tell me what you modified on the APK so maybe I can try it do it myself later on a future OS upgrade?
Thanks again

Need APKtool to do. Once edit can do with root explorer. If device is not rooted can't be done unless there is an Xposed module for it. MUST HAVE at LEAST ROOT. And font must be available to root.

No. What you will want to do is edit the images in SystemUI_Theme_<Black/Black_Gradation/White/White_Gradation>.apk. Those apks are located in /system/app/. Or you can select a nice premade apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/softkeys-update-t2804742

That would have been nice to know...
Edit the nav images in /res/drawable-xhdpi/. They start with ic_sysbar_xxxx.png. EX: ic_sysbar_back.png.
If you are on a Lollipop AOSP ROM ask someone else.
Edit: for this phone you probably need to copy those same images to drawable-xxhdpi.
