Using metamorph to flash pull down bar

Hey guys
If I get a metamorph of any theme, can I JUST flash the look of the pull down portion of the notification bar. I am using superD and love the look of the notification bar but, I do not like the stock look of the pull down.

anyone ?

The pull down bar is part of the framework-res file, which contains and is linked with a few other files.
You can download a theme, look at the files that the theme replaces to get an idea of what files those might be. Then metamorph or push those files individually from adb.

just look for all the stuff that says status bar background and status bar close and settings header to whatever you want (same file type...)
while we are on the subject how come my framework-res doesnt always flash? sometimes it does... sometimes it dont same phone same file...
upcoming: HHGTTG theme... its too cool not to share.. but still not done

Transparent Notification bar? -metamorph-

Is there any transparent notification bar metamorphs out there?

I think this might be what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768628
If you only want the status bar and not the font and apps and what not, just run the framework-res part. Let me know if you need help. Enjoy.

I did see that but couldnt tell if the notification bar was transparent or not.
Thank you

Yeah i flashed it and its nice and looks great, But i still want something with a completely transparent bar.

Tried that the first run, and it looked great when using LP+ and having the status bar hidden. When you would hit the notification button, it would pop down and you would only see the icons/letters/numbers etc, but otherwise it just shows up as a blank-black area. Something to do with that space is allotted
for the status bar and you don't really get it back, just because it's transparent. There might be a way around it, but not really sure yet. If you wanna try it, this was the first run of Transparent Chaos:

Yeah I've been looking for the same thing for a few weeks. They can't do it on the eris yet though because of something with rosie and it not taking the background all the way up to the top so it would always look black anyway.

I think it's LP+ that doesn't allow the transparency because it just shows black behind the bar. I've heard that it works with ADW Launcher because of an option it has, I haven't tried it though because I prefer LP.

I'm pretty sure that's not it. I just tried it, and got the same results as LP+.

(ps more themes WILL come, when i have time to spare)

I 've managed to extract framework folder.I opened framework-res.apk and found a lot of folders.I assume the .png i am looking for is located in drawable-ldpi folder,but the problem is that i cannot find which .png it is.If someone could guide me things would be much easier.Thanks Daniel for your response,can't wait for your themes...

Hey there!
sorry for activating up that old thread, but i'm trying to get my statusbar transparent at the momen.
I think al almost did it, there's just one strange "bug".
I changed all the *.png relatet to the status bar with transparent pictures, that does work for now i think,
BUT:
If my Screen is locked, i can see the background picture behind the status bar, if screen is unlocked, background picture is "cut" under the statusbar, statusbar is just black, if i drag down the bar, i can see that the dragdown menu is "sliding" between the statusbar and that strange black background....
any suggestions or tips?

If you have it working that far i cen tell you how to see it on regular screen too. You need to be running ADW.launcher (or launcher pro but i have no idea how to enable it)
In ADW launcher there is a setting for Wallpaper hack , in system settings i believe. Turn that off and you should see the wallpaper through the statusbar.

thanks for the reply, would be nice to know how it works with launcher pro, that's my prefered launcher...
will test it in ADW now.

I guess there could be some similar trick to Launcher Pro.

ADW is working fine, looks cool, unfotunately i can't attach files here, if i could, i would share my framework-res.apk with everyone here
I did already build 3 framework-res.apk file, theyre similar to each other, no big changes done, just other style of the status bar and changed battery Icons, sothat normal battery icon is black/white, only the orange an red batteryicons are colored.
Launcher Pro doesn't work, there's no way to use it without the wallpaper hack...
at the moment I'm trying to build my own custom Rom, but have to read more about that before i can realy build one...

[Q] Deactivating status bar toggles

Does someone know of a way to remove the status bar toggles? Is there a file to modify in systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk?

yes there is a way unfortunate im not that skilled

I'm listening... I'd love to get rid of the mobile data toggle. The others are useful, that one isn't.

I hope there is someone out there knowing the answer as I like to use my own toggles app and having two of them doesn't look goog at all.
Also I saw this screenshot showing a blue clock in the expanded notification bar and would like to know what to modify to change the color of the clock and the date? (this came from a Mod which included the toggles, I would only need the file and passage to edit for changing the color)
Any help is appreciated.

[Q] Where does this nav bar come from??

I'm looking for the SystemUI or the png regarding this attached navbar, but I don't find.
Do you know where I can find it?
Thanks in advance.

They are called zenith icons. You can get these nav bar icons from an app called softkeyz, but your phone will need to be routed in order to use it.
