[MOD] Alter CM7 Status bar icons/notification window.

I've had a look through the forums but couldn't see this posted anywhere so here goes, and apologies if this is a repeat or is in the wrong forum.. In CM7 GingerBread you can change the battery icons in the status bar using the UOT kitchen and the framework-res file. The other icons however can't be changed using this method (like they could in CM6.1 FroYo) because the other icons are in a different system file in GingerBread.
Through a lot of digging around i have found the file 'SystemUI.apk' in /system/app/ where most of the other icons are. Also in this apk are the 'battery_low_battery.png', the 'shade_bg.png' and the 'status_bar_close_on.9.png' files which can be changed to files from another Rom after any nesessary re-naming.
The battery_low_battery.png controls the pop-up displayed when the battery gets below 15% and i've changed mine to one from an earlier Rom.
The shade_bg.png is the notification window and can be changed for the one from the SuperGinger Rom for example which has an Android picture on the bottom right (and looks cool i think). There is a transparency effect to the window which may be controlled by a .xml file, i'm not sure because i'm using the SuperGinger Rom which had it as a default.
The status_bar_close_on.9 is the notification window pull-down bar and i've changed mine for the 'status_bar_close_on_cust.9.png' from the cm6.1 Rom which has a CM logo in the centre.
All these image files and loads more like signal strength, bluetooth, wi-fi, flight mode etc, etc can be found in res/drawable-mdpi/ of SystemUI.apk.
The .apk can be modified using Android Design Editor V2 (credits to it's creator) (Google search...) and be pushed back from recovery using a flashable zip or ADB (i can vouch for a flashable zip created with Update-Zip-Packager.. credits to it's creator) (again Google search...)
I hope all this will be of use to some and thanks and credits to the Rom creators, cooks and devs, to XDA Developers and all the other contributors on here.
Peace and happy tinkering.

Thanks for that info I wasn't sure which file is the notification window bg in CM7, now I know.

[Q] Milestone2 2.3UI framework-res.apk

I just edit the framework-res.apk for my milestone2,
it have a black status bar now
but the text-color still black,I try deodex the services.odex ,edit it and smali
insert classes.dex into services.jar
adb push services.jar /system/framework
but it doesn't work... and cann't boot~~
what's the right way to deodex it?

I'm having problems deodexing too...
I used dsixda's Android Kitchen to deodex the framework from my system.img (created a blank boot.img to be able to load the files), but can't deodex android policy and service. They're the only two apks I can't deodex.
Someone could post a tutorial or already patched files.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270
PS: Could a mod put this into Dev Forum of MS2 ? Since deodexing & Framework stuff is less or more developing..

It works but clock and date (and operator also) are still black instead of white

[Q] Is there any SGS i9000 ROM (stock or custom) without clock in the status-bar?

I need a help. Could someone tell me where can I find a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 without the clock in the status bar? I found some threads about how can I get rid of the clock in the status bar but I can`t really do that. Every time I am flashing the file the phone will not reboot till the end and vibrating. I tried on many ROMs (stock and custom) but was not successful? Help please

Clock as in what sort of clock round clockface or the stock android digital time .
jje

Stock Android digital clock. Sorry for not being precise in formulation.

You don't need a special rom for that. There are themes in the Themes and Apps forum which don't have the clock. Black Android comes to mind...

Thanks. The Black Android is not working. It makes dialer and other apps disappear but clock is there forever. Others the same. I have used the flash files that can be found on XDA but the phone will not reboot (vibrating).

Why a developers of custom ROMs do not want to exclude the stock Android clock in status bar? Is it that hard or there is only me who do not want to have a double clock when looking on the screen? Maybe someone did it already but I can`t find it?

Very sad. Nobody knows what ROM can it be? :-(

every Rom has the Clock...
because it only could be in the same colour as the status bar to make it disaper.. D
to remove it completly would be very hard..

Someone made a standalone mod to disable the clock in the status bar.
I remember trying it out, then reverting because i actually wanted to see the time while apps were in the foreground.
Check the Themes & Apps section.

Resolved
Thanks to "azzledazzle" for help and to all XDA developers and users.
"azzledazzle" gave me the file for JPY ROM.
This is step by step manual (partly copy-paste): This will work only for JPY ROMs
First of all you need to be rooted and deodexed.... (for that I used http://romkitchen.org/ Thanks to DocRambone, Stefunel, and all others. Sorry if did not mantioned others names. I am not a proffesional and do not want to offend someone from developers). How to install custom ROM you can find in XDA forum as I did.
Let`s continue....
1) extract the JPY_services_no_clock.zip
2) put the 'services.jar' on the root of your sd card...
3) Open up root explorer (free in market, but I did it with Super Manager)
4) go to sd card and copy the 'services.jar'
5) go into /system/framework and paste the 'services.jar' (also at the top of root explorer make sure you are mounted (R/W) if using Super Manager (turn on root access from settings of the Super Manager).
6) reboot the phone and that should be it....
Thanks again to all developers and users.

would this work with JS7?

[GUIDE] Status bar customization using UOT Kitchen

Since everyone has a different taste of how the status bar should look like here is simple guide how to do it.
What you need:
1) rooted device with CWM installed (for example per Chainfire´s guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784)
2) extracted apk files "framework-res.apk", "SystemUI.apk" and twframework-res.apk (use any root explorer) located here:
framework-res.apk: system/framework
SystemUI.apk: system/app
twframework.apk: system/framework
Caution: to use it with particular ROM you need to extract these file from that particular ROM - does not (for me) work just to use core files (like for custom KKA ROM use original KKA stock ROM files)
3) go to UOT Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ and choose the features your status bar should include. Once your selection is done go to tab "file upload", choose on right side option "upload system files" and upload extracted file from step 2. Once they are fully uploaded, go to summary where you can check what is going to be cooked. Then just simply click"submit work to kitchen" and wait for compilation completion. Pick up your file, save it somewhere to your computer or phone. Then just use CWM to install it.
Note: I have not tried this for originally themed ROMs like ROWMO or Sheep ROM so I do not know whether it works.
Confirmed to work for Cassies ROM, MySam and stock ROMs so I guess the status bar customization should work for other (not AOSP) ROMs as well.
Good luck, Haddar

Just upload files as in step 2, leave other options untouched.

Thanks for the great guide. Can anyone tell me where to find the default MIUI statusbar icons? I haven't seen this in UOT Kitchen.
Thanks.

Unfortunately many of nice status bar icons are not "pickable" at UOT Kitchen. If there was an option to upload our own icon set it would be a good time to ask theme dev´s to post them somewhere here. But it is actually not ..... we probably need to use what is already there.

I've used this before but now I can't get it to work. I'm trying to use a boot animation and I'm setting the boot animation to Galaxy type, and the binary scripting to Galaxy. I did manage to change my status bar icons but a few of them didn't change.

I'm galaxy noteOK

In the status bar size option... What kind of size is to be selected? Because there is no option for 1200x800 pixels in the status bar size option... :O
And can you do a small tutorial on the 10 or 14 status bar toggles as there are on the samsung galaxy s2... Please if you can do this it shall be a great help!!! Thanks a lot!

How did you cure the bootloop???

BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!!
That's how you cure bootloop. Then you just use 3-button combo to get into recovery mode and restore your backup.

This works! Finally found a way to get rid of that awful battery % mod on custom roms.

Hahahahaha! My friend this I know... I was just asking because I thought these guys had suffered an "incurable" bootloop!

Its awesome... Working great in my galaxy note..

Hi, guys!
Can anyone confirm that it is impossible to make transparent the status bar on a Samsung device? I tried to cook a theme on the kitchen, but it did not work, only the entire status bar desapeared.
Any other options that you know?
Thanks in advance!

CM 10 Status Bar Icons

Hi All....
I have just installed CM10 (I would like to thank tezet, great job)
I was wondering if there was a way to increase the status bar icons size a few points up.... I just find them a bit harder to read ... I've just come from Gingerbread
thanks

shure there is, pull out the framework-res.apk out of the system/framework folder from the rom zip. change the icons that you want to change (find them at a hdpi folder, don't know the exact name atm). don't unzip the rom or the apk, just open it, change the icons and push them into the folders.
