I was just wondering if any themer out there could make a simple black bar for eclairOG v1.11(preferrably somewhat glossy) with a round battery icon (used in MAT-Theme, I believe its made by kspec?)
A lot of people have been asking for a black bar in the thread so I figured id try to get a themer's attention. Thank you!
To make things easier for the theme devs heres the link to the ROM
EclairOG:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620673
and this is the theme that contains the notification bar and battery icon, id like. Thanks!
MAT-Theme:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5139150#post5139150
heres a screenshot of it:
OOhhh yes...Desperatly waiting for this
i am too, I really want it. i have really basic knowledge about theming, ive been trying to get it done myself, but all i get are bootloops...lol
I really hope someone does this haha. or a full sense/hero theme for eclair

Id be happy enough with just the black bar. I managed to modify the framework-res.apk a lil bit but all it flashed was the battery, pulldown menu and the lil network icons, but the bar still comes up white even though i used the black images from the MAT theme, eclair is so much different than donut when it comes to theming, im not asking for much, just the black bar so hopefully someone will do it, because a ton of people are asking for it on the ROMs thread.

yaa i assume it will come sooner or later, hopefully sooner.
In my opinion, i bet bbuchacher will be the first to port one to his eclair ROM, since he did so with his Super D roms

I haven't tested it. I really don't feel like spending the 30 minutes or so to set my unused G1(s) up to test it out, so nandroid before trying it.
It has the pull down, notification bar icons, and status bar from the MAT theme (all credit to the creators of the images used).
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/simple_black_bar.zip
There are the images I used for it along with the steps I used for colorChangev3.jar based on what the images looked like.
You have to change statusbar_background.png to statusbar_background.9.png for the status bar to show up black.

you sir, are EPIC! thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I flashed it, only the text turns white, but i found out why. In 2.1 roms, the system icons are no longer located in drawable. theyve been moved to drawable-mdpi. so i think if i move your images to mdpi itll work. ah, i didnt realize that statusbar_background had to be converted to a 9.png. Thanks this has been a great learning experience for me. Ive been fumbling around with the files and images all day and all of last night trying to get it to work. I think i can fix it myself. when I do finish, ill post it here and credit you and the original themer for MAT. Thank you very very much!

[BlackBar Mod - eclairOG1.0-1.2]
I DO NOT take any credit for this.
The notification bar is from MAT Theme made by matata86
and was ported over to eclairOG by david1171
UPDATED!!!! - I found some files that were in the wrong folder, and 3 images that were missing. I moved and restored the proper files into the right places. GTalk no longer force closes, no slowdown, nothing. Everything should run fine now!
Screenshots:
Installation:
-Make sure you have no widgets on any of your home screens before flashing
-Boot into Recovery and flash normally as you would any other theme
-No Need to Wipe anything (If you really really wanna be safe, wipe dalvik, but you shouldnt need to)
DOWNLOAD HERE!!!
Oh, and i might make a couple more versions and use battery icons from other themes on xda. Thanks again david1171 for porting the black bar to eclairOG!
Nice work.
love that battery icon...
Just flashed it and running good so far
EDIT: Got the feeling, that it slows down the phone a bit...
Does your Beautiful weather widget has a transparent background?

no its just the normal semi transparent gradient black background, but because theres a black wallpaper behind it, it looks almost invisible.

Oh well, I was going to PM you for it. I think I know how to make it transparent, but I think the application needs to be resigned after replacing PNGs coz it didn't install. I tried signing made easy, but couldn't figure out how to make update-script.

yeah it needs to be resigned. I use stericsons autosign.bat file.
Check out the zip file i attached and look in META-INF < com < google < android < update-script and open it with Wordpad and you should get an idea of those work. theyre very simple. im not at my comp right now so i cant explain much about them right now.
and to anyone having problems with the black bar, ill see if i can find anything wrong with it and fix it.

*NEW UPDATE 05/06/10* So, I updated the Hero theme with the new xml Metamorph format. I also added a few things to framework. Added sliding animations as well instead of the regular ones. Hope ya like it! [/B]
One thing though...IF you do get a Pop Up about Market messing up...no worries. This happens because of the framework-res change with metamorph.
BONAFIDE SOLUTION: Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications...look for Market..click on it..and then click on 'Uninstall Updates'. Once that's done...BAM! yA dOnE! All fixed! So yeah, apart from that..this thing's good to go!
CYANOGEN USERS WANTING THE BLACK NOTIFICATION BAR: Flash the Black Notification Bar first(recovery), then flash my theme(metamorph)

Here's the download link for the white hero launcher tab for those who are too lazy. : http://www.mediafire.com/?unnyzzjmjnr

giving this ago right now gonna use cyanogen for the full effect so ill report back tomorrow
Has anyone tried this on anything other than cyanogen?
The metamorph should work with any rom. and i see that you have a darkstar theme already, so that should take care of the black bar. but i also would want to know how the metmorphs work for other roms. it is really is made for any 1.6 rom. maybe you can. try it out and let me know.

Hmm...well, i will take the framework-res.apk off and get that fixed. Thanks for letting me know. I was debating just trying to make the framework available for metamorph as well and seeing if it works since that's much simpler and easier. Sorry about the inconvenience.
EDIT: WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED THE FRAMEWORK-RES AND WILL TRY TO GET THAT BACK (FIXED) ASAP
Must have for hero themes...
If you love the sense ui look as much as I do, then you should download "PandaHero - Hero Style Home" from the marketplace. I have attached a screen shot to get a better understanding of why this is needed. For the first time, the buttons at the bottom actually function like they do with sense ui. The left for apps, center for phone, right for settings. Absolutely must have app for anyone who loves hero themes.

I have actually tried this app before, and yes, you are right. It is very much like having sense on the g1, but the thing that got me off that app was that it runs like the sense ui rom on the g1, which is...slow. Very slow with this app..which is why I wanted to make this theme because I really like sense ui, and I didn't want the slowness that came with it, and this metamorph gives one the sense look without slowing down the phone because it is only 2MB. I'm glad you shared though, because ppl might not mind the lag, and it's beneficial because ppl don't have to flash anything. Again, thanks for sharing.

No problem man. Believe it or not, I didn't really mind the lag of actual hero roms, so the lag from this app isn't that bad in comparison. The ONLY reason I didn't stick with hero rom's is because I love my bluetooth more then sense ui.

Hey guys...me again!
So, I decided to start this metamorph on a new thread because the other one was getting a little crowded with the new design, so I decided to make this new one strictly for theming of the Launcher2 looking tabs.
PLEASE NOTE:
That the little side buttons don't move. This is not a direct port of the functionality, but just the look of it, for people who are dying to really have that nexus look, but don't want to switch to OpenEclair. The buttons are two on each side, because most people have the five homescreen thing going on, but I will make one with one on each side for the people who only have three screens. Also, this is also meant to be installed using Metamorph, and not through the recovery image of your phone.
HOW TO METAMORPH THESE FILES:
Go into the Android Market, and search for Metmorph, and then download and install. Once it's done installing, open Metamorph, and it will ask to do some checks...once that is done, just press on 'Pick Theme' and navigate to where you downloaded the file. Click on the zip file, and then it should unzip it for you automatically. Click on 'Launcher.apk' which should appear, then click finally on 'Apply it!', and just wait for it to do its thing. Once you press the home button, as is usual of launcher.apk edits, there will be a brief black screen while the page reloads, and it should be done. Hope I explained it well for you. Let me know if you have any problems.
So without further I do...enjoy!

This doesn't reboot when you are done with metamorph. Did you go according to the guide that i showed you at the top of the thread? You could just go back to 'Home' without having to reboot unless it was a framework-res edit, which this is not. Try redownloading the file and then going thru the process again, and let me know how that works out for you. And selrct 'Replace' in Metamorph if you do redownload the file. So..let me know. And also, let me know what process you install this, to see if you do something wrong in there. Hope that helps!

Okay..so here's a little mock-up that I need some feedback on. I wanted to really give the nexus look, so i added the little home button to the bottom of the launcher rather than on the top, and made the top dark. But as in the screen shots, I think it looks better with the four row launcher on super d's roms. What do you guys think? Should I start making them like that and then keep this as the style or make this as a seperate for ppl who want the little home button inside the launcher? And what do you think? Good idea? Like it?
THIS IS DOPE! (haha i just said dope)
quick question, is this just the icon, or does it doe the cool 3d/animations when you open the launcher?? just wondering

lol. I'm glad you think this is pretty 'dope'! haha. But unfortunately, this doesn't have the animation that comes on the nexus launcher..just the regular pull up method, and then it goes to that.

i like it, its very nice. just like the launcher from SUPER-D. good job!

Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...

Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

This is looking really good. Here's another theme I found a while back that has some of the same elements of csrom and your current build. I've never used it, but maybe something in there will help you, or maybe this dev can help you.

wow! this looks ... awesome! not usually an "extreme theme" kinda guy, but this I would use!
sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??

I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.

(Also btw, the status bar icons are not the official Gingerbread one's because I made this theme before Gingerbread was out, and on the leaked pictures the Status bar icons were green, unlike the grey ones, and honestly i prefer green, although I may change this
This is for MDPI Devices Only
Installation - Framework
1.Download the attached zip, named GBThings
2.Extract that, and place it on your phone.
3.Now download an application called Metamorph from the market (You must have root btw).
4.Open Metamorph and let it do it's checks...
5.Now click on Unzip/Extract theme and find the folder you put on your phone.
6.Now in that folder open the one named 'Framework' and select the Zip file inside that,
Metamorph should now extact the theme, and you should click on Apply all.
Let it do it's thing, it may freeze but leave it.
Then reboot your phone
You should notice the status bar and icons on it have changed.
ADW Users
1. Do the same as above up to step 6, instead of opening the folder 'Framework' open the one named 'ADW' then continue using the steps above.
Also you will need to create a Custom shortcut to the corresponding actions with the Gingerbread Icons included in the Zip then place them in your dock.
Launcher Pro Users
(I apologise for no tut, but I assume you know how to do this, the dock is under the Launcher pro directoy of the given folder and the icons are under the Icons directory)
Keyboard
Also in the zip is the gingerbread keyboard, flash the GBKeyboard using recovery
Link
I worked on this same sort of thing last night, if you want I can PM you all the images I did. I ripped and re-colored mine from CMH
Though I think the color on mine may be off. I used Colorify in the GIMP to put them all to Android Green (#A4C639). And my battery is crap, hah.
Status bar looks a little off compared to the pictures of gingerbread that engadget got
and can I have an image of the dock background so i can use this with LauncherPro instead of ADW?

I mean like, the dock portion is great, but the status bar looks different, the wifi is curved not just lines, the signal lines are more higher up, and the battery looks like its upright in gingerbread
Heres a little mod I did
[basically I made a new phone icon, and resized the browser icon to 40x40
I think it looks closer to the pictures, except they may be too small]

Okay, Thank you
It was only a quick job, so it's similar but not exact Although I might try and change that later on

Cool, so for a few hours my phone will seem awesome, then real gingerbread will come out and it'll look stupid XD
If anyone still cares, I made a dock background for launcher pro

GB should look alot like the released pics, when it comes out i'll make a more exact theme [including the notification bar] until someone manages to port it for my G1
i'm still really curious about changes besides the look of the homescreen though
Why is everyone all tryin'a theme up their screens to look like the Gingerbread theme? It's so ugly. That green is ugly and there's nothing special about it.
HDPI Port
I want this! Can anyone port for HDPI devices?

the green bars are in the "system_ui.apk" in the apps folder.
i don't know why.
i tried making a rom with some gingerbread framework, but it didn't work.. bummed. haha.
if anybody wants a zip with a folder that contains all of the proper mdpi things, i can email it to you..
i don't know if i can post links yet...
EDIT: AHHH i lost it...

Aww man, i've been trying to make a gingerbread themed framework-res.apk
so pushing the system_ui apk doesn't work either?
That's really all that I want, I don't really care about an entire theme.
Is there an easy way to get notifications like these, or is there a theme that is already like this that I can flash?
Thanks!
I'm working on one for you, been awhile since I've done this though so no promises.
~~EDIT~~ I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct file to replace. As I said its been months and file names seem to have changed. I have one more idea and after that I'm tapped out.
~~EDIT 2~~
Ya man, can't find the right file. Sorry. If you can get someone to tell you what file in systemui.apk needs to be replaced I can tell you how.

Have you checked out the UOT Kitchen over in the Android themes section of there forums? You can do alot of different things. Search for UOT Kitchen. I would enter the link, but I'm on my phone.
Edit: Here is the link for the UOT Kitchen : Uot
Go to that link, click Kitchen, Pick the choices of what you would like modded, when you are finished, click the File Upload tab, where it says Select your rom from the kitchen list choose system files. Enter you framework and system.ui where it asks you to. When your done go to summary, and and choose Submit files to kitchen and go to files pickup area. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and your flashable zip will pop up. Put on your sd card and flash. It sounds complicated, but after you do it once or twice its really cool.
Hopefully that helps a little. If not, sorry I wasted your time. Have a good night.

Are you referring to the notification bar where the clock and battery icons are? If so, its the statusbar_background.png in the Systemui.apk
Sent from my super sleek NS4G, powered by TeamNekkid.
If your referring to the notifications in the statusbar you can theme it easily with ZipThemer
Create a folder structure like so
Mms>res>drawable-hdpi
In the drawable-hdpi folder put the icons you want. The names ( I thik) are stat_notify_sms and stat_notify_mms. A good size is 38x38 pixels
Then go back to the main Mms folder and create a ZipThemer xml with the path set to Mms.apk
Edit: I made a ZipThemer xml and file structure for you. Just extract the zip, goto Mms> res> drawable-hdpi and put those two images in there then apply with ZipThemer
Remember if you use ZipThemer for the first time, goto the apps settings and select update edify
Here's the zip I made

Holy shiet, didn't expect people to actually reply with useful feedback! Thanks to everyone who took time to do so.
What I'm talking about are the notifications you see once you pull the notification bar down.
I will try everything that was recommended and give everyone a proper reply by the end of this week, promise. I just have to do a ton of **** these next few days for my midterms, but the weekend is almost here, so don't fret!
Once again, thank you for all your suggestions!

Hey everyone,
first off, my apologies for replying so late. I've been busy with some ****, but finally got around to flashing the Theme I made in the UOT Kitchen.
It's looking pretty damn good to me. I was able to make the notifications black, and changed the notification bar itself a bit as well. I'm very pleased with the look so far, but as was stated in this thread, the whole process was extremely easy. Maybe the hardest part was waiting for the damn thing to be ready for download...lol
I'd post some screenshots of the notification bar, but with ShootMe not working anymore and since the Screenshot system that's built into CM exits out of the notification bar whenever I want to use it, I won't be able to provide you guys with any for now.
If anyone wants to try out the theme, I've attempted to attach it to this post.
Thank you all for your help!
There is a slight delay from the time you tap screenshot to the time it actually takes it.
