So it doesn't work
any another way?

Sry to ask, can moderator move this thread to Q and A section ?.
I try to copy the 2 files from IZS to /system/app and change permissions to rw,r,r o reboot and i got error when i try to open the notification bar, the error is system.ui.apk process closed unexpectedly.
Few secs later its back again and once again when i do something the error reappears.
For nowi copied back my backup files and all is good again.
Can someone tell me what went wrong or any chance of doing this with another files? Maybe from ultrasound v4

I think this is because of the permissions, as you cant change them as soon as you copy them. Why not just create a flashable zip and flash them? easy as toast.

So if i reboot, and then change perms, will it work, coz i really dont know how to make a flashable zip (i have to look for it), i wonder why i was able to change perms after copying the files? After i copy to system folder and chose the file i was able to set perms to RW R R.
The funny thing i started all this mess coz i went back from ultrasound v4 to marvel v12 beta, and i wanted to have the sliding brightness option and also the ultrasound FX to work on marvel. I manage to set the sony walkman, but the brightness and ultrasoundFX didnt work. I think the best thing to enjoy all of this is going back to ultrasound v4 and try different kernel, to get more juice of my freaking battery hehe

A reboot should solve it, if it didnt, then it is a different problem.
Maybe the files from Ultrasound And Marvel aren't compatible with each other. Sorry Couldn't help.
You could try making Dalvik and Cache wipes.

How to reduce the font in the lockscreen clock???

Hello everyone, I was wondering how shrink the character clock and date on the lock screen ... Can someone explain what to change?
I have the original version 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
I'll post a picture. I edited with Paint to understand the idea.
Who can help me?

Is there anyone could answer at my question?

Simple answer, I think no one knows on our forum. See if someone did it with some more popular phone. Like S2, S3... If it is done there, it should be possible for our phone. It need some modding, change in some xml if it is even possible.
I think you should find xml for lockscreen in framework-res.apk, and see if there is possibility for font size change. And after that there is question is there way to put it in place where you put it in picture.

You should search all over xda, for GB TouchWiz modification of that lockscreen. And if you find it, you can't use that, our framework need to be moded like that.

it should be in /system/framework/framework-res.apk; unzip it, go into drawable-hdpi, edit files "zzz_unlock_clock_[number].png" to suit your taste, push it into zip, rename to .apk, push to system, change permissions to 644 and reboot

How do unzip a file .apk?

(On your PC) Just use WinZip or 7zip to open the APK file.... Go to your destination folder.. Drag and drop it on where ever you want... Open it.. Make the changes... And put the folder back in... Therefore replacing the original one..
Note that this can be done only for replacing normal PNG or JPEG files.. For editing anything else you will have to decompile the apk and do it

Thanks for the answer but now it appears so

Please use a Transparent PNG file and the white background should disappear
I think you just resized the original PNG file using something like MS Paint.... Just use Microsoft Office Picture Manager or anything similar for this...
Or use the software tool Fast Stone Image Resizer (sorry I forgot the exact name) for Windows.... Its pretty simple to use..
Its better if you still have the original backup of the original framework-res.apk... Because you can't use your new PNG files as you might need Photoshop or any advanced photo editing software to remove that white background.....

I just resized the original file ... She says that instead of resize with "Paint" I have to do with other software specific to that type of change?

Photoshop, Gimp... Save it in transparent png.

As I told you before; to only resize your PNG files use Fast stone Image resizer... (google it!!) And for any advanced image editing use GIMP or Pinta (if you find GIMP hard to use)

Decompile SecLauncher2.apk and change parameters in dimens.xml in res/values-sw399dp. Compile and push to your device.

THanks for the reply!!

No, I will not make a tutorial how to decompile/compile apps, change values in files etc.
Why? Because they all here in XDA - in many different forms and versions and "granularity". And I do not have the time for making the hundredth one right now, sorry.
And if you are really a Noob there would be many many questions from you more.
I searched myself and learned by reading and trying. It is not so difficult - but of course you have to put some energy and time into it.
If you want to change system files - learn. If you do not want to - use what is provided.
By the way: if you make icons bigger you only might get 3x3 or 4x4 on the home screen. Is that really what you need?

you could use "giganticon" app from the playstore
it won't change the icon size in the app drawer but you can put the huge icons on the home screen instead
Donno if this is what you are looking for....

Well, download the apk of the launcher and open it. You'll find a folder called res/values-sw399 dp. In that edit the values in the file dimens.xml and set the values you want. And recompile it. How To recompile, change values in that .xml file, you can search these processes individually.

Can't Understand!!!

I will upload a decompiled systemui and you can browse through it and see where everything is but most will be in res\drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 on a stock Note 4 rom and the icons in the status bar start with "stat_sys"
here is the file its in zip format but is not usable so just unzip its from 5.1.1-N910W8VLU1COK3 but all are pretty much the same, also if you want to change colours and position of icons you will need to decompile the apk easiest program I have ever used is Tickle My Android which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
systemui zip is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478675087

Hi...understood, thanks for the answers.
I also digged my hands in apkstudio, apk signing and zipaliging processes and managed to achieve thos and even tweak some aps
