EDIT: these changes have to be made using baksmali/smali by someone that knows how to do it. I do not post apks on XDA, unless they are mine, I have permission, or are part of the stock rom.
Please don't post the APK links in my thread, this is solely for educational purposes, I don't recommend you run a patched app on your phone. Running a patched verzion of this could be harmful to your device, or Verizon's network. I don't run it.
We were notified by a confirmed Verizon developer that this might cause damage to your phone. Don't use it. Leaving it here for historical knowledge.
I am posting the patch details not the apk. So hate all you want, someone else can apply it and upload if they want.

So back on topic! Any reason we can see why verizon won't release this officially? Any know issues with this?
Jcase,
You should know there are hundreds of people who enjoy your work and it works for them so well they never post.
You know what they say, someone with something negative to say is ten times more likely to talk about it than someone with a positive opinion.
I've been meaning to get off my butt and learn how to do this stuff anyway, so its just as well you didn't post the apk. Thx for the tip!
Jaywan: you do know women contribute to / frequent xda too, right? Respect them much?

Changes are being made in My Verizon App
Related
Advanced users only!
I get soo many PM's asking how to do this, even tho I have never done anything like this before, so, here it is;
Grab baksmali/smali
Grab a deodexed version of android.policy.jar, or do it yourself.
Open the jar file with a zip program and extract classes.dex (7zip)
Decompile classes.dex
java -jar baksmali1.2.4.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
Navigate to \classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl
Make a copy of GlobalActions$4.smali in the same directory
Name it GlobalActions$8.smali
Open GlobalActions$8.smali in a decent text editor (Notepad++)
Find and replace all instances of GlobalActions$4 with GlobalActions$8
Replace the onPress method with this one:
Code:
.method public onPress()V
.registers 3
const-string v0, "Reboot Now"
invoke-static {v0}, Landroid/os/Power;->reboot(Ljava/lang/String;)V
return-void
.end method
save and close
Open GlobalActions.smali
In the createDialog method we need to increase the array length by 1
Find: (line 430)
Code:
const/4 v9, 0x4
Change to:
Code:
const/4 v9, 0x5
next we add the new menu item
Add before "const/4 v1, 0x3" on line 508
Code:
const/4 v1, 0x4 # position in the menu array
new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$8;
const v3, 0x1080030 # power icon
const v4, 0x010402d7 # reboot string
invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$8;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V
aput-object v2, v0, v1
save and close
Compile a new classes.dex
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
Open the jar file with a zip program and add the new classes.dex overwritting the old one (7zip)
Push it back to your phone and reboot!
All done!

I tried to work it into CDE Beta 3, but the GlobalActions.smali portion was different; i couldn't find the code to change. I found simularities, but it resulted in a hardcrash whenever I tried to bring the menu up. Anyone have any insight on how to do this in CDE Beta 3?

Hi guys. Just got the SII two week ago. I thought I was imagining things but the back button was a bit unresponsive. Tried Googling it and I stumbled upon a site talking about back button problems for the first Galaxy S. It recommended to type in *#*#2663#*#* and it brought out a touch screen version menu. Clicked update on both buttons, reboot, and it fixed my problem! Amazing!
I'd like to ask though if there are other update hardware firmware commands like this for the Galaxy S II? It's strange that firmware updates for the hardware aren't automatically performed along with the software updates.
P.S.
The update changed my phone's "Part's Touch key FW version" from 0x4 to 0x7 and it solved my back button unresponsiveness.
Just tried this. Will see if its helps.
Thanks
Do you know if this solution improves responsiveness of the MENU button as well? I posted a thread here earlier describing what I thought was one small issue on my S2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17084207
I noticed a decreased sensitivity in both the soft touch buttons (Menu & Back) as opposed to the sensitivity on the actual touchscreen area. I just thought it was strange. Maybe you had the same scenario?
Thanks for the tip, but mine stays same after the update, 0x4 for the touch key version and 0x16 TSP FW version. I think the updated version depends on the firmware, as I am on KF3, an older build 0x4 is the upper limit
Also I've noticed that only inputting *#2663# works, no need to type that much
Regards.
I think the menu button isn't responsive because if the software itself?
Try rebooting the phone after the update. You might see your firmware version change like I did.

I also got that same update on KG3.
I tried this (on O2's stock XWKF3). Before, it was:
Phone's Touch key FW version: 0x4
Part's Touch key FW version: 0x7
Now, it is:
Phone's Touch key FW version: 0x4
Part's Touch key FW version: 0xff
Could 0xff indicate a problem?
I'm on KG3. Before the update it was Phone's...: 0x4 and Part's...:0x7 .
Now it is Phone's...:0x4 and Part's...: 0x3 !!
What could this possibly mean? A downgrade??

No change after updating on kf6. Only became a problem after I applied a screen protector, but I don't want to scratch it, so I'm leaving it on. Switching to a kg3 based rom now. Lets see if that does anything

I don't know is there anyone having posted a guide to make ripple lockscreen works on XXLSJ with 240dpi~
So I just post it~
It's very easy for any people~
just decompile framework-res.apk with apktool;
then go to /res/values-hdpi/bools.xml, change the only "false" to "true";
rebuild it & done ~
( I've spended lots of time on looking for this on classes of android.policy.jar...
WTH.....)
PS:
after this there will be a option to toggle on/off the Ripple Effect in your Lock screen options~~
and the Ripple Effect will also been disable automaticly when you set a live wallpaper as your lockscreen background...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also find a way to make the max Lockscreen shortcuts numbers up to 4 ,instead of stock 3 ~
just easy, too
decompile SecSettings.apk with apktool;
go to smali\com\android\settings\lockscreenshortcut\LockScreenShortcutSettings.smali;
locat this line:
sput v0, Lcom/android/settings/lockscreenshortcut/LockScreenShortcutSettings;->MAX_SHORTCUT_ICON:I
then edit the line before it:
--const/4 v0, 0x3
++const/4 v0, 0x4
rebuild it & done ~
just one thing
To decompile and compile back framework-res.apk without errors, you must use apktool v1.4.2 to decompile and apktool v1.4.3 to compile back.
Best regards,
goolby

Hey guys.. I need some SERIOUS Help!! Now I'm not a S2 owner but the Software we run (Android 4.1) is the exact same - that's why I had to post it here....
I tried this a few minutes back and the Ripple effect works really well but there's another problem which arises when I enable Ripple effect.... Look at the two pictures below - one before enabling and one after enabling....

Why is there loss of quality/contrast at the edges...? Whats even more weird is that I tried it from first again and things went even worst now.. before it was just the lockscreen... now the entire display of my phone went CRAZY - its almost completely dull with low contrast - full brightness doesn't help either.. its WORSE than before now!
I flashed back my stock framework-res.apk to get things back to normal......
(any help would be appreciated) THANKS!

Did you take a look at this by any chance... this dude enabled a lot of things, including Ripple Effect - but doesn't have any Contrast issues on lock screen?
I know this thread is about ripple effect... any idea on smart stay?
im sure it's gotta be an option cause we have it on systemui and framework, it's there a way to enable it or any code?
any suggestions?

Hi Geeks
Here's a tutorial on how to add an Activity Header to Settings.apk
Requirements:
1.Settings.apk
2.Notepad ++ or Editor Alternatives
3.Apktool to Decompile apk
4.A Little Common sense
Tutorial:
1. Decompile Settings.apk
2.Open to res/xml/settings_headers.xml
3.Lets take an example i want to Add "Maddy" as a activity header
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
add this line
Code:
<header android:icon="[COLOR="Brown"]@drawable/ic_settings_maddy[/COLOR]" android:id="[COLOR="SeaGreen"]@id/maddy_settings[/COLOR]" android:title="[COLOR="Purple"]@string/maddy_settings[/COLOR]" android:fragment="[COLOR="DarkOrange"]com.android.settings.Maddy[/COLOR]" />
The layout in settings_headers.xml is categorized. If you want submenu "Maddy" to appear after 'Apps' as shown,add the line after the line that says <header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_applications"..... as shown
Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_applications" android:id="@id/application_settings" android:title="@string/applications_settings" android:fragment="com.android.settings.applications.ManageApplications" />
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_maddy" android:id="@id/maddy_settings" android:title="@string/maddy_settings" android:fragment="com.android.settings.Maddy" />
3.1-@drawable/ic_settings_maddy=This refers to the png in res/drawable-*dpi/ folder
Add a new png named ic_settings_maddy.png in res/drawable-*dpi/
It will be the Image that will show up in settings menu (The Wifi like icon in my case)
* = hdpi / mdpi /xhdpi /xxhdpi /xxxhdpi (Depends on your device)
3.2-@id/maddy_settings=This refers to id value in /res/values/ids.xml
Open res/values/ids.xml and add this code
Code:
<item type="id" name="maddy_settings">false</item>
3.3 - @string/maddy_settings = Refers to a string in res/values/strings.xml
Open strings.xml and add this code
Code:
<string name="maddy_settings">Your String here</string>
Add the string you wish to see in settings Submenu in place of 'Your String Here'
3.4-com.android.settings.Maddy = Refers to the smali file in smali/com/android/settings/
4. Open res/values/public.xml
and find the last line that says
<public type="xml" ...
like
Code:
<public type="xml" name="[I]somethig_something[/I]" id="[COLOR="Blue"]0x7f050053[/COLOR]" />
Note the Hex code in Blue.It can be different for you
and now add this line just after the last line of type="xml"
Code:
<public type="xml" name="maddy_settings" id="[COLOR="Red"]0x7f050054[/COLOR]" />
Also Note that the previous address in my case was 0x7f050053
so the new address will be "Previous address + 1(Hex addition)" i.e 0x7f050054
Replace 0x7f050054 with your calculated Address.
If your Address is 0x7f050039
Next Addres = 0x7f05003a
if your address is 0x7f05003f
next address = 0x7f050040
and so on..
5.Go to res/xml/
and add a new file named maddy_settings.xml
This xml would contain the Apps/Actions you wish to see inside the Submenu "Maddy"
Just like you see
Brightness
Screen timeout
etc etc
options when you click Display in Settings Menu
an example of what maddy_settings.xml may contain
PHP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/maddy_settings"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings">
<com.sonymobile.settings.preference.PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/uipref_title">
<PreferenceScreen android:icon="@drawable/cust_bar_wallpapers" android:title="@string/wallpaper_settings_title" android:key="wallpaper" android:fragment="com.android.settings.WallpaperTypeSettings" />

</com.sonymobile.settings.preference.IntentPreference>
<com.sonymobile.settings.preference.IntentPreference android:icon="@drawable/ic_systemui2" android:key="power_toggles" settings:dependOnIsValidIntent="true" settings:hasMetaData="true">
<intent android:action="com.serajr.powertoggles.preferences.intent.PREFERENCES" />
</com.sonymobile.settings.preference.IntentPreference>
</com.sonymobile.settings.preference.PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
To Add these Apps/shortcuts to the submenu you just created,refer this guide [Tutorial] How to add any App/Option in Settings.apk by saqib nazm
Just use the new maddy_settings.xml to link your new apps/actions.
6.Open smali/com/android/settings/ and add a new file named Maddy.smali
paste this code in it
Code:
.class public Lcom/android/settings/Maddy;
.super Lcom/android/settings/SettingsPreferenceFragment;
.source "Maddy.java"
# direct methods
.method public constructor <init>()V
.locals 0
.prologue
.line 17
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/settings/SettingsPreferenceFragment;-><init>()V
return-void
.end method
# virtual methods
.method public onCreate(Landroid/os/Bundle;)V
.locals 1
.parameter "savedInstanceState"
.prologue
.line 21
invoke-super {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/settings/SettingsPreferenceFragment;->onCreate(Landroid/os/Bundle;)V
.line 23
const v0, [COLOR="Blue"]0x7f050054[/COLOR]
invoke-virtual {p0, v0}, Lcom/android/settings/Maddy;->addPreferencesFromResource(I)V
.line 24
return-void
.end method
Find and replace "Maddy" with your smali name.
Smali names should always start with Capital Letters.
Also note the Hex code you added in Step 5.
replace 0x7f050054 with your Hex value.
7.Recompile your Apk and Done!
Note:
Should work with any versions of Xperia.
Also may work on other Devices,Please try and report.

This one is only for adding sub menus in main settings
For sub menu in device info,try studing "status" or "legal info" inside About to get an idea of how its referenced

Why are you creating a new setting fragment? This is useless and complicated
You could have used this:
Code:
android:fragment="com.sonymobile.settings.GenericSettingsFragment"
This have been added by Sony since JB 4.2 and is allowing to create any new header with sub menus
Cheers
Great job !!!

(***NOW UPDATED WITH CHARGING ICONS!!****)
** THIS GUIDE IS FOR STOCK XPERIA KITKAT ROMS ONLY. IF YOU'RE ON A KK ROM THAT ISN'T MADE BY SONY, LOOK AT MY FRIEND @Erhany'S GUIDE HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56300485&postcount=1 **
Changing the battery icon on a stock KitKat rom isn't easy. Google have changed how the icon is created and it's no longer possible to just change some icons and a few xml files.
Or is it?
Sony have put their own spin on KitKat and, if you've got an official stock Xperia 4.4 rom, you can still change the icon very easily. You just have to do something a little different to before..
How To Do It
So this is what the stock icon looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's okay..but we wouldn't be here if we weren't the sort who liked to change things.
First, you'll need to decompile your SystemUI.apk.
I'm not going to tell you how to do that, there's lots of guides already on xda. Although I do recommend taking a look at Tickle My Android (tinyurl.com/ticklemyandroid). It's made by a very good friend of mine..
You're also going to need four types of tiles:
a lot of files called 'stat_sys_battery_100.png', 'stat_sys_battery_99.png', 'stat_sys_battery_98.png', etc
a lot of files called 'stat_sys_battery_charge_anim100.png', 'stat_sys_battery_charge_anim99.png, 'stat_sys_battery_charge_anim98.png, etc
a file called 'stat_sys_battery.xml'
and a file called 'stat_sys_battery_charge.xml'
You'll find those all over xda as well. I've attached the ones I've used in this post, just so you can try them out.
Adding The Images
You'll need to copy those image files into your 'drawable-?dpi' folder. This will vary according to your device, on my XZ it's 'drawable-xxhdpi'.
This will give Android images to use as your battery icon.
Then comes the fun part.
Editing The XML
Normally, you'll copy 'stat_sys_battery.xml' and 'stat_sys_battery_charge.xml' into your drawable folder, overwriting the files that are already there.
There is no 'stat_sys_battery.xml' or 'stat_sys_battery_charge.xml' in KitKat.
Instead, rename 'stat_sys_battery.xml' to 'somc_sys_battery.xml'. And rename 'stat_sys_battery_charge.xml to 'somc_sys_charging.xml'. Then copy them into your drawable folder.
This will tell Android which images to use for each amount of charge in the battery.
Now edit status_bar.xml and change this piece of code:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginStart="4.0dip">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/status" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<LinearLayout android:id="@id/battery_meter" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/battery_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/stamina_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/somc_sys_powersaver" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/battery_percent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.sonymobile.systemui.statusbar.BatteryImage android:layout_gravity="start|center" android:id="@id/battery_percent_bg" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
to:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginStart="4.0dip">
<LinearLayout android:id="@id/battery_meter" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/status" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/battery_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/stamina_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/somc_sys_powersaver" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/battery_percent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.sonymobile.systemui.statusbar.BatteryImage android:layout_gravity="start|center" android:id="@id/battery_percent_bg" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This will place the charging icon next to the battery icon, inside the @id/battery_meter Layout. This will cause the charging icon to vanish if you turn on the percentage option in the Settings app.
We're nearly there..
Editing The Smali
Now comes the really fun part. It's time to edit some smali!
For this part, we need to do some detective work. Open your 'res/values/public.xml' and find these two lines:
<public type="drawable" name="somc_sys_battery" id="0x7f0200c9" />
<public type="drawable" name="somc_sys_charging" id="0x7f0200d6" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They might be next to each other...or they might not.
The parts in red are the hex references that we're going to need to look for in our smali. It's likely the references will be different in your rom to mine.
Edit 'com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\BatteryController.smali' and look for your 'somc_sys_charging' reference. The code you'll find should look like this:
const v11, 0x7f0200d6
invoke-virtual {v10, v11}, Landroid/widget/ImageView;->setImageResource(I)V
goto/16 :goto_3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You'll want to change this so it looks like this:
.local v10, "icon":Landroid/widget/ImageView;
const v11, 0x7f0200d6
invoke-virtual {v10, v11}, Landroid/widget/ImageView;->setImageResource(I)V
move-object/from16 v0, p0
iget v11, v0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/BatteryController;->mLevel:I
invoke-virtual {v10, v11}, Landroid/widget/ImageView;->setImageLevel(I)V
goto/16 :goto_3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Make sure you change the code in red to your own reference!
This will make Android change the charging icon when the battery level changes.
Then look for your 'somc_sys_battery' reference. The code you'll find should look like this:
.local v5, "icon":Landroid/widget/ImageView;
const v11, 0x7f0200c9
invoke-virtual {v5, v11}, Landroid/widget/ImageView;->setImageResource(I)V
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Change it to:
.local v5, "icon":Landroid/widget/ImageView;
move-object/from16 v0, p0
iget-boolean v11, v0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/BatteryController;->mPlugged:Z
if-nez v11, :cond_40
const/4 v11, 0x0
goto: cond_50
:cond_40
const/16 v11, 0x8
:cond_50
invoke-virtual {v5, v11}, Landroid/widget/ImageView;->setVisibility(I)V
const v11, 0x7f0200c9
invoke-virtual {v5, v11}, Landroid/widget/ImageView;->setImageResource(I)V
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again, make sure you change the code in red to your own reference!
This will make the battery icon vanish when your phone's charging.
Now just save, recompile and push to your device as normal. Wait a while for it to reboot and...
(You'll also need to disable the battery percentage in the Settings app, if you haven't already.)
Of course, these aren't perhaps the best icons I could have chosen for these screenshots. I didn't have much time for this post, I just picked some at random and it looks a little lost. But that's the fun of battery icons..there are so many to choose from!

Good job, but the hardest thing is make icon look good when stamina is activated , and low-battery mode activated,and when battery charging. I'm trying to do that

I can take a look at this tomorrow, right now I'm away from computer.
The stamina icon could just be redrawn. Maybe we could reuse the one from 4.3?
Charging is a bit more complicated. In stock, a lightning bolt is displayed. I think we might be able to replace that with the same sort of level-list we had before..

Not much, unfortunately. I tried changing a stat_sys_battery_charging.xml to somc_sys_charging.xml. But it didn't work the way I wanted.
The level-list was ignored and only the first drawable was shown. Which is a bit of a puzzle.

There's nothing unusual or different about your XML. Which is good.
