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.
[/B]I took the "Black Fender" theme further, seeing as until the kernel source code is released into the wild, the stock rom is the only show in town. Again thanks go out to cursordroid for building the rom. And in honor to LordXeth and his fine theme for the WGy2.6 rom, I used his flash/boot screen. I hope he doesnt mind - Chris
Download right here http://bit.ly/demqkY
This is actually the whole rom

really? this should be just like loading curser's stock rom- I just changed the images- loaded onto mine flawlessly. I should send you a link to the previous one just to see if it acts the same, but I don't see why it would.....
if it worked on yours then it should be fine. May have been a bad download because it gets to boot screen fine then thats it. Ill redownload it later when im not tethering my desktop over EDGE lol
Nice job Riff. Looking good.

Looks nice. You know what would make it look better? White text in status bar. I gave it a shot but since the framework is odexed it makes it slightly more difficult.

yea- I will have to open it up and give it a shot- but I have been talking with Wes Garner, and sometime this week he should get his hands on the 1.2 OS MT3g and once he can get the sourcecode for the OS, our customized rom should be soon to follow. Because getting the sourcecode has been the issue- Chris
downloading now, looks good..
im reading into creating a 2.1 for us...
our lil secret
as mention before, text should be white.
when notification down TMOBILE would look better white..
stock battery??
besides all that 10*
THIS IS GREAT

GREAT JOB

Good to hear.
If we can't get the sourcecode then we'll just have to work to figuring out the touchscreen driver/kernel issue. Either way it's good to see that there is some kind of customization for us Fender/1.2 owners.
wow reading this entire thread just made my day ... im glad to see the fender/1.2 is getting some luv!!
i know i am always posting things about lockscreens, they are just the one thing that i am picky about.
i really want an opaque lockscreen backround, without any clocks or anything. just opaque or even transparent, and still with the eclair style slide to unlock (although thats not essential)
anyone know of one i could flash, i know it early days, but is anyone working on this sort of thing at all?
Well, this guys has done what I think you want - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
However, do NOT flash those patches as they are for the CDMA Hero. I just thought you might be able to get an idea from the files he uses as to what needs to be changed.
He has done some other cool things too, but he's not got back to me as of yet about how to do them.
Good luck
that is EXACTLY what i want.
We sould be able to flash this ??? it's just a lockscreen otherwise i'll port it ova b4 the end of the week
Cool
If anyone is interested this is his other work. Some great ideas... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6270955
Someone please port these lockscreens
I'll Upload in ten mins
Also tht red keyboard for swype is lush

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?

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
Hi guys,
I think the new JB is great in all ways except one, I hate the new grey status bar. Is there any way to change it black or transparent? I know that this "problem" has been fixed on other Samsung devices like SGS3 or Note, but what about SGS Advance?
Unfortunately I am not an android expert and don't know what files should be modified for this. But I think it is as simple as in the other Samsung devices. Could somebody from the expert guys handle this?
Tnx in advance!

Actually the grey status bar is a bug...I got it yesterday too...please do a complete factory reset,cache/dalvik wipe in stock recovery...the actual status bar is black...the bug gives the whole rom a peculiar grey tint...also the transparency elements are hampered...everything was solved by the simple factory reset and cache wipe...plz try it...:good:
hmm interesting
I did a factory reset before and after installing JB, but I will try once more.
maybe it will help...
(the only problem is I have installed all apps that I needed and now the phone works well...now I have to reinstall everything )

Well.....thats a pain in the ass I knw.....i had to do it myself yesterday:cyclops:.....when i istalled everything first time and then thought "maybe" the grey thing is a bug...coz it shouldn't look this way normally...then I took the risk and it paid off...the rom looks pretty nice though...I changed the ppi to 170 and swapped the stock launcher with Nova...and uninstalled the useless bloatware samsung usually provides...much ram freed too... :victory:

Well its just a personal preference.....I like having larger screen space...changing ppi to about 170 gives a decently large screen-space without much loss in image quality to my eyes...
This is not a bug, it's a feature.
Samsung deliberately changed the color of the statusbar to darkgrey so the Amoled pixels on the statusbar are ON like all the other pixels of the screen so they all have the same level of wear.
This way you won't get a different color on that bar over time.

Anyway this is why they changed it for the SGS3
