okay...so I know I may not get any replies for this, but this has been a haven for people asking for help...so here goes...
I have a telus milestone...I've been able to change the clock and date text in the notification bar (i applied my own black bar mod through metamorph)
the only problem is that all my notifications are still black when they pop up in the bar...
I've tried this tutorial:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/27622-text-color-change-complete-how-do.html#post279084
nothing
and this one:
http://androidforums.com/all-things...n-clock-pull-down-text-colors.html#post395945
both referring to the colorchange jar that someone wrote here...
but neither has worked..
i know that 'spare parts' in the CM apparently does this...but since i have the telus milestone, i can't install CM...
is there ANY simple way of doing this? is there a metamorph?
thanks to anyone willing to help out...

Try copying the spare parts.apk to your rom of choice , sign it, and flash it. its a guess at ti bro hope u get it figured out.
I have the Cyanogen custom rom loaded on my rooted Nexus One and I have been trying all day to morph/flash ways to change my notification bar, but no good.
Would appreciate from you fantastic people if you could lend me a hand or advice?
Thank you! (If this is wrong format in this forum I apologize greatly it is my first time posting here, but I've been following XDA for some time now)
there are many themes over in the themes forum that have meta morph files you can apply to change your status bar to black. which do you want? do you want the desire black bar? or a pure black bar? i can post my theme which i use, it has a mixture of pure black bar, circle battery icon, my preferred wifi icon, and the rest are desire icons, all mixed together to give me my favorite theme. currently using it on cyan 6 nightly from sunday.
EDIT: i added the file. i left the name exactly the same, but a few edits have been made so i hope the originator of that theme doesnt mind. you can search out that thread by the file name i uploaded.
the thing is when i attempt to morph a theme every thing changes EXCEPT the status bar. While it skins the framework.apk (mis-spelled) It takes extremely long and I eventually reboot my phone because it does not load. How long does it take for you to morph a complete skin? I was trying to morph the Carbon Notification bar and it takes very long.
Thanks btw for your reply really appreciated
yeah i am stuck at the same problem too.. it is taking too long for such a small file... even flashing roms are faster...
na dude i got a different version MM nd it morphed quickly but not right status bar always white
huh ? i didnt get u... cant u rephrase ur sentence pls .. are u saying u downloaded an older version of metamorph and it morphed quickly but that version of metamorph did'nt change ur status bar to the desired color ?
It works for me every time, very quickly. Do you have usb bugging enabled? You need that.
Like I said, that's the exact file I use every time, not sure what is wrong...
Are you sure a reboot doesn't make the white turn to black bar?
haha.. it works for me now.. i didnt enable USB debugging the last time .. awesome.. loving the new carbon fibre status bar.. wicked stuff !!
Ha nice, its always the little things

Yes, but the text would also be black. It has to be a custom ROM to modify the text too.
yes there's a stock FRF91 ROM thread over in the other forum which is theme ready so you could use any morph you want.

Good info.. I have Enom's all lined up to go on mine when I get my new MicroSDHC... Still using the stock 4G card, need more space.
Help please
So I've downloaded the Glass Status Bar morph, and everything works except my status bar is still white. I'm trying to run it on CM 6, froyo, N1. Any help would be appreciated as to why this might not be working.
Do I need to adjust any settings in CM?

Go into the CM settings under the notification bar settings and untick the custom bar and untick custom color. Reboot and then it should work.
Thanks for the tip kp and it seemed to work at first but when I tried to change back to my preferred wallpaper (when it rebooted after applying the morph it reverted to the standard Cyanogen live wallpaper) the status bar become black.
Any other suggestions?

Where did you find the DL for that?

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work. I unticked everything you said, reapplied the morph and it re-started and seemed to work although the wall paper had changed by to the standard CM live wallpaper. When I switched back to my normal wallpaper the notification bar was black. Same thing when I tried other wallpapers.
Any other ideas?

Are you running a CM6 nightly?
Im running the CM6 stable and everything works fine on my end. For the nightly, I heard that you need to stick a static wallpaper you do not want up and then go to the live wall paper to place "on top of" the wallpaper. There may be more to that but that was the jist of the conversation I read in passing.

No, I'm running the stable mod, not any of the nightly's. Tried what that thread suggested, still no luck. I'll keep trying on my end.
Just to go through the steps I did, I downloaded the file from XDA. Placed it on my N1. Used Metamorph to unzip it and install it rebooted and no-go.

I've checked all the other forums and threads and use search, but I can't find it.
So I've read people talking about being able to change a few options in spare parts, such as the color of notification text in the status bar ( which would be usueful for themes like DarkStar, where the status bar is black and you can't read the text). but I can't figure out how to do that, all I get in spare parts is the device info, animations, haptic feedback etc. I'm sure the answer is plain as heck but I just don't know. I even tried downloading a newer version of the app. thanks for any help.
I"m on a verizon touch running Sagarom froyo ultralite v1.2.1. AKA Incubus26jc's supefroyo 2.2 (Rls 12)
To do this you need a cmmod based build, and the option is in settings under cyanogen mod settings.

In CM6 its in options, in older versions I've only found it in the spare parts app.
I'm running aloysius and think its really cool. I had been running fresh 2.3.3. they are similar but I like the look of aloysius better, and it has some of the color themes from fresh. but I really want the softkey bar or something like that on my phone instead of what i have and I need help pushing that to my phone I'm not sure how to do it.. all I have been able to find are updates that also theme the notification bar and I don't want that. just the softkey bar. any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I've searched the forum for this but couldn't find anything specific to the Hero.
The closest I got was this suggestion however I already have the coloured circle battery mod and don't want to loose it.
Is there any other way to get the transparent notification drop-down? Preferably as a standalone update.zip?
Many thanks,
Lee
