I have JI6 (unofficial froyo) version of Captivate (i897)...
I like to theme the notification bar (Transparent, icons, etc.) without any ROM.
I have tried Cognition ROM, but random shutdown was killing me...
So, anyone know how?
by SDK/ADB, root manager, metromorph, Odin, or whatever you can do - THAT WORKS!!!

It depends on what you want and where you want it. Certain changes require changes to the xml codebehind and some do not. It is not as easy as it may seem for the average user.
You have to use winrar to open the theme or rom you are using.go to the twframework-res.apk.open that DO NOT UN ZIP ANYTHING!! then look for status bar background.9 drag and drop onto desk top or folder whatever then edit in photoshop or whatever you have and put back save and put it back in the folder.If I can get by a computer today there is thread out the will tell you do to do it that is big help.I you have some problems I can do some editing for you but would have to wait until I get home I am out of town.oh and when you put the edit status backgroung.9 back into the zip file make sure it is stored and compressed

Along this same line of questioning........
All I want to do is remove the transparency from the notification drop down in my current rom / theme. Is there a single value in an xml file to adjust this feature?
It's a .png that you'll need to change the opacity of.

Thanks for the thread been looking for something like that but someone psoted somethign saying that you had to use a cpativate rom for it because the i9000 roms have different file types in them
Now there is theme kitchen, upload a apk and you can apply themes. Then after some time, you get a new apk in a cwm flashable zip.

I used to be on darky's rom and just flashed seearms rom (for several reasons)
In darky's rom when you want to add widgets to the homescreen, the several widget option for the same app used to be combined together. I know there is an app/tool for this, but can't seem to find it now. Please point me in the right direction

Hi,
What do you mean by "the several widget option for the same app used to be combined together"?
Id like to help but I dont think I understand what you mean...
I know what your talking about.
Search here on xda for 'App Widget Picker' - put it in /system/app with root explorer. No reboot necessary.
Actually, screw it. File is attached haha.
Rename it to appwidgetpicker.apk.
Thanks.. this makes selecting widgets so much easier!!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could explain to this noob (me) how to mod the dockbar layout of stock twlauncher? Currently running UCKK4 (KK2 kernel by corn)....? I've tried using tw4, which is very cool, but found its stability to be inconsistent on my cappy. Mainly i would like to 1 or 2 small details re: the stock dockbar... 1. Replace "email" button with "gmail" 2. Add "messaging" icon to dockbar (having 5 icons instead of 4, and actually like the look of app drawer icon on right side)
Also, was wondering if anyone has working mods for KK4 extended power menu & modded batt icon with 9 toggle? Tried flashing ones i had but wound up having to reflash stock.
Any help, pointers, tips, etc are greatly appreciated. Also, my apologies if I've posted this is the incorrect area.
Thx, tjp419

You can find some TWLauncher mods here. You ll have to port it. The source is available there. I suppose someone might have already ported theme to the Captivate.
thanks for the that link! ok, so have to ask, can you explain what it means to "port"? still a noob, lol, sorry
yahh, don't start with ports, being a noob, start with small easy stuff.

Hmm porting means editing the APK so as to make t work on a particular device. You need to know some Java, smali/baksmali for it. You need to decompile the APK, using a utility lke APKTool/APKManager and make edits to the touchwiz code to make those mods for the captivate.
For the request #1, you don't need mod.
Simply do the following
1. on the app drawer (hit applications)
2. hit menu -> choose "view type" -> select "Customizable grid"
3. hit menu -> choose "edit", then you can drag and move around icons.

The easiest way to get that would be to flash a KK4-based ROM with that already baked in. Illuminance comes to mind because it's one that I used most recently that had it, but I know there are other ROMs that fit the bill as well. Just do your homework first so you don't end up in an unhappy place

OMG, you are my hero! This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out... figures it would it would be an easy fix and right under my nose... though, i would still like to learn how to mod & theme apps in general, not just touchwiz, think it would be fun...
On a different note, have a new question/issue... my contacts keep reverting back even after i edit them (add #, or email, or address, etc); randomly, some contactf will go completely missing; also, in the notification bar, i get a message that says "sync error, too many deletes." In settings, under accounts & sync, i have it marked to sync google & facebook contacts. And lastly, curious if anyone else has had these same issues..?. If so, hpe do i fix this?
Again, any help is appreciated.
Thx, tjp

I would like this also. I found a thread for the Galaxy Nexus where someone was able to port several TW apps to work with AOSP but when I install them they are not formatted for our resolution. Maybe someone will be able to port those from
this thread.

Stock ICS clock is bad, no Stop Watch
There is a stopwatch, but it is pretty poor compared to the Samsung one.
Inside the clock app, where you set the alarm, there is a sort of a title/tab on top-left that says "Alarms". If you click that, you'll be able to go to a stopwatch. Alternatively, you can go there through the menu button. I am on Doc's V4 and haven't tried other ICS roms, so YMMV.
What I don't like about that stopwatch is two things: It does not use a fixed width font, so the numbers keep "shaking". And it does not keep the phone from going to sleep, which pretty much makes it unusable to me.
So, a big +1 to the OP request.
TW clock is ready
Search for Nexus TW Clock ICS. The only problem I have with it - font and buttons are too big. SOmewhere there is a scale - lcd density or something which is wrong.
There is one for Epic 4G - with perfect size and it does everything - World time, timer, stopwatch, but not alarm! Alarm FC'es.
WTF!
Mystery of apktool
I tried combining these two from Epic and Nexus using apktool and baksmali. The code is almost identical - only one class differs and it's Alarm related. The resources are vastly different in picture sizes and xml's with "dip" in Epic vs "pix" in Nexus. So anyway - I copied Nexus class to Epic, and copied Epic resources to Nexus. None of these two after smaling and apktool build (without errors) got recognised in Launcher - no icons in app drawer, no .odex file in dalvik.
Any experts to solve the mystery?
Mystery is solved
New release is coming... Check out my ROM within couple of hours.
Just copied classes.dex from Nexus ICS clock to Epic 4G clock. And optimized it as usual.
I am patiently waiting for that update, but in the meantime just wanted to say "thank you" for the pointer to the epic clock.

The wait is over
Try the ROM or rip the Clockpackage.apk from .zip.
I'm fine either way.
I'm checking Holo Calendar now. First try was disastrous - I had to wipe the data to restore calendar sync.

I pulled the clockpackage.apk from your rom. I copied to the system/app and rebooted. It didn't show up in my app drawer. So I rebooted into recovery and wiped cach partition, dalvik and fixed permissions. It still isn't showing up in my app drawer. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm running ICSSGS latest version.
Edit: Never mind. When I went into All Applications it was disabled. When I enabled it, it is working now.
Smart Alarm Problem
Thank you so much for updating the clock in Nostalgia!
I can't get the smart alarm function to work, though. No matter which smart alarm tone I choose, the "Good Morning" alarm sound plays. Am I missing something, or is there a glitch in the apk?
Thank you!
I installed the app for now, and it works great.
I am thinking about trying out your ROM, though, once 5.3 is out.

I am having the same issue as you were. I followed steps you mention (I copied to the system/app, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache partition, dalvik and fixed permissions).
When I go to settings/apps/all I do not see it there and so I can't enable it as you did. Am I missing something? What is the app named (maybe I missed it)?
I double checked the system/app folder and it is there.
I am running a Boogs latest CM9 Kang (clean) with Launcher Pro (free version).
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA

I flashed it, and I like it, other than a couple of small problems that I can live with.

I had a similar problem until I found another thread with a solution. The solution was to add clockpackage.odex to system/app. I can't upload odex files, so it is attached in a .zip.
When you copy apk to /system/app - your permission on apk file get screwed up. Nice touch from FileManager writers. So you gotta fix them from the same Root Explorer or Browser to be 644 - read/write by owner, read by group, read by other.
Hey guys. I'm new to XDA and cannot post in his ROM-Thread but I read here for over half a year now, so I'm not a complete noob.
So, my question is: Is there any way to disable Volume Wake in Nik's We_Want_ICS v3? cause since I flashed v3 my phone keeps pocket dialing all the time. It's like it has his own life now. Can sb help me?
Not sure how to defeat volume on but why not just install an app like call confirm so that you have to confirm if you want to make a call or not.Sorry not a direct answer to your question.

you have to unpack android.policy.jar file then baksmali classes.dex and edit a keygaurd file and remove the lines that has 0x18 and 0x19 and re-create the classes.dex and the android.policy.jar. Search the internet there are several places that explain how to do this. One such forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668052

Thank you all. I will try as soon as I get time for it. And yes I want to disable them

Sry dude, you're in the wrong thread. I don't know exactly what widgets they are, cause I didn't found the right post again, but I'm pretty sure they were mostly 1x1 toggles for profile, bluetooth and stuff like that. The battery tweaks are included in the ROM - you won't find any settings for it

There is a simple method: you can replace android.policy.jar from V2 and reboot, then you can close the Volume Wake, but this action will disable Advanced Power Menu.
