Make the Statusbar smaller

[Guest denizkoekden]

Hi,

here ist how you make your Statusbar smaller!

1.) decompile your framework-res.apk with APKManager

2.) goto res/value/dimens.xml and change "<dimen name="status_bar_height">" to e.g. "<dimen name="status_bar_height">30.0dip"

3.) save it and compile it with APKManager

4.) push it back to the Vega Tablet

Will describe it better, later just for now :huh:

Friend and Me we searched long for it and finally I came up with this :)

Regards

Tried this but always get a black screen during boot. Which options do use in APKManager? I used:

9 - Decompile

Went into /res/value and modified the dimens.xml from my projects folder

11 - Compile

I have tried signing the file and not signing the file, selected system when prompted and not selecting it but I always end up with a black screen after pushing the file back and rebooting.

Recomile is not so simple. You need to know what the comression rates were before you decompiled it and ensure that you recompile it back the same. I had to use 7zip to do this. Can't remember exactly what I did but google will help.
