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?

looks like it doesnt it? =P
no its just the normal semi transparent gradient black background, but because theres a black wallpaper behind it, it looks almost invisible.
@Che: are you sure its slowing down? My phone is still super fast, i havent noticed any slowdown at all...
for some reason when I install the notification bar I get a force close when I open a chat on gtalk

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.
I have taken Kevlar Mash v1.69

plus the Circle Battery
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702663&highlight=circle+battery
(Both made by droidkevlar) and combined them into one theme.
All credit is due to droidkevlar for making both themes I just combined them and changed the color of the battery to match. I dont know if anyone will even like this or use it but this is my first contribution to the droid community and my first theme so I hope you like it.
I have added the screenshot below the file. Not much but It's a start. Let me know if anyone can think of any improvements.
Also note that this has only been tested on the Droid Eris so I do not know if it will work on other phones but no matter what phone you have DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
Disclaimer: If you brick your phone its your fault. I hate it for you but I am not responsible. You are doing this at your own risk.
Who cares if only 1 person likes it. We have another themer on board. Now get to making more, lol.
Cant wait to see a screenie.
ironically, i did this myself last week
BUT i flashed a new rom and changed my theme to incorporate a bunch of things i saw in themes/roms that i liked.
200 views?
Over 200 views and no one has any tips for me for future themes. No posotive or negative feedback on how it looks or if it works. Anything?
atta boy!

ive been having trouble getting any kevlar to work on my droid does rom, if a fix for incompatible rom is there that would be an awesome fix.also itd be cool to have more all around themes.i wish i knew how to... incorparation of dialer would be cool, thanks for the share tho
I love the blue theme! I downloaded Aloysius 2.0.1 v12 and added this theme. This is my first experience with rooting, and I'm loving it. Everyone has been so helpful.
Any way to get the battery percentage in the notification bar circle?
Also, since the blue is working so well, any way to get a blue message icon too? When I tap letters on the keyboard, they turn green. It would be cool to get that blue too!
Great job!
for some reason the signal bar will not change for me. Could be the ROM I'm using
does the circle battery go over the checkered bar or does it have a black square on the end?
It has a black square I will be fixing this in the next update along with some other new things I am working on.
That's what I got switched to kevlar for the time being. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the update
Folks,
In the topic "Post you homescreen", I saw this marvellous one.. ( I attached it )
To be honest it's like the best i've ever seen..
Without any doubt I send a pm to the user but i think he is quite busy and couldnt reply me.
I've been searching the internet for about 3 days and i did find nothing..
I couldnt even find how to make such a dock ( with texts ) ..
downloaded ADW - launcher pro - dxtop lite - ... nothing works.. no themes around at all similar to this.
Is there anyone who has a clue about how to build such a theme ?
cuz its definitely not a single file to install
you think that is the best you've ever seen!!!
sorry it's just that i hate orange themes
From what I can see:
LauncherPro
The dock icons are posted on this forum actually. "TallMin" by Lekky
The theme itself (statusbar etc) I don't know. Run it through UOT. It's black with orange icons and Rounded Battery, no big deal.
Widgets:
Pure Messenger
Beautiful Widgets
BattStatt
SwitchPro
Transdroid
The music player can be any. They all have that certain feel to them.
The icons on the homescreens I don't know about. Probably something popular
Check DeviantART > Customization > Icons > Dock Icons > Most Popular Ever
It's extremly basic stuff here, it's probably all been mentioned a million times in "Post your Homescreens".
BTW: LauncherPro doesn't theme your statusbar.
You're gonna have to be rooted in order to change it.
And I'm sorry but: You've been searching the internet for three days? That's pure bull****! If you'd been
searching for three days you'd know all this three days ago.

Well, the reason i said that is, i really like simple and pro looking themes..
I've been using I9000 for about 3 weeks, and just started to customizing it..
thats why im quite new about this stuff.
The majority of the themes i saw until now is containing too much stuff in a small screen which i really dont like .. thats why when i first saw this theme i thought this is it !
but anyways i'll keep looking .. thanks for your comment ..
I'll now try to run thorugh what you've written Hope i'll get something similar at the end..
I dont know much about being root .. i need to do a quick search about that..
Well , searching internet for three days.. yes but meanwhile i am doing my second year uni project and writing a few essays so thats not an actual three days time i am not a dumb
anyways i am gonna update the post ..
P.s i couldn't quote your post, it does not allow me to post external links ..
Update: I was really confused about everyting .. starting from what you've writtin i've done what i want , thank you [zHk3R]
Ok here she is after having to start over 2 times...damn DEV are working hard and can't finish before a new rom lol.JK keep up the awesome work guys.I am still learning the theming business so any help would be awesome i'm learning Photoshop on the fly here.Also i wished to change the text to white for visibility issues but like i said still learning. I'm looking for suggestions on changes and any help anyone would like to give me.Ok the thanking part the deskclock meter on top came from a Droid X rom Liberty 1.5 HC <awesome work guys>.
edit - First release (very rough as seen in screenshots also no clock)
edit - Second version is up, and good news i have a Partner GTO777 has taken the time to get things rolling with White text and custom wifi drop downs and a NEW drop down battery (very nice).He's hard at work thinking of new things to do including a possible reboot option.This is still in the works so keep an eye out it's just getting better.
Edit- Had a chance to work on this alot today and it shows in big ways. V3 will be up as soon as me and GTO777 and get back together and put all the adds together. Also am looking for Testers on any/all TNT lite roms <I believe this is able to be applied to them> if you would like to try the latest releace on TNT please PM and i'll give you a link.
edit- version 2.5 is up and looking great. still have those home buttons to look at lol.White text is not in this but working on getting it done.TY and please like always post a respons so others will try it.

Nice, this will give us something to do till we get the real deal: -)
Only thing I'm not fond of is the circle battery, I've never liked the look of them compared to a standard style battery meter.
I know I'm in the minority here, but maybe 2 versions with different battery meters?
Looks good so far though.
Awesome z Thanks... Vegantab has been getting all the theming love... Happy the TNT ers can now get in on things!
Looking really good. May have to try it with adw to get the same number of rows and columns as the xoom.

Also I here their are vegan roms with themes please link some favorites mabey we can blend it in.

Thanks, yes and alot needs to be done but if we can get help we can compile a nice theme....also would like a more transparent web bar and different buttons so lets get those ideas going.
Edit-Ok guys it's been hell around here and haven't had alot of time between this and the boot animations.I've been tring to add some more or the Xoom look to the theme, starting with the Circle battery it's been replaced with the one from Xoom and the Larger wifi icon is being made now to match the theme (green out blue in ) also need to change the home buttons+back+menu button.i'll be tring to get this up tonight.This release will have the clock in it so look for it. Also can i get an admin to inform me if i can add Swype to this theme it's on mine (can't live without it)? Thanks guys keep an eye on the OP it's going to change.

Looks really good, I am working on something similar. Makes me happy for more themes . The TNT framework has a lot more then most frameworks, maybe work together? PM me.
I have this so far:
No pics sorry, but it has some white text on the drop-downs working on getting the rest. Toasts, pop-ups, and drop-downs have honey border, and.... I think the battery and wifi drop-down match the transparent blue stuff, the battery was annoying.
I need to do the home screen icons, add more white text in the drop-down, and I wanted to reorder the buttons in the bar, also make the drop-down shadows less transparent....
popups

Thanks to both of you... I'll be pulling this when I get I the office this morning to play. Looking forward to it!
(edit) just read the fine print... Question, will it work on the non-meat eaters? (vegaN)
...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant
thanks if you like it so far You like it even more when we are done with it. As far as the Vegan goes no there is alot different in the Framework that tnt uses sorry.
How about cyanogen? Can I use it on7?
Ok just so i don't have to keep replying this is for TNT roms, It was made for the TTX rom but will most likly work on the TNTL and roms like it. It is too diferent from Vegan and CM7 sorry.
Hey kicker, pm sent ur way
Anymore updates on this project? Everything is looking great. I'm running the latest TnT Lite and will be testing this out shortly.
+1 I am def looking forward to this!
Looks sweet. Thanks.
well guys sorry for the delay was moving to a new house and had no net.
Anyways it seems as tho my partner is MIA lol.and i liked the theme very much but i need white text and like i said i'm learning this so as of right now i think i'm done unless i can find help. Thanks to those of you who tried it out and responded. I'm not out of the game yet just think i'm going to move on to something just not sure what yet.
Hi all,
I've been running CM7 for a while now, and have ran bafm remix in the past. What I miss the most is the bafm status bar. The transparency, larger clear button, etc.
Does anyone know of a similar theme for CM7? Maybe even a work in progress? I've poked around a few forums, bit haven't found what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
