Hy all,
ive spend the whole day trying to get the notification pulldown background semi-transparent red. First it was driving me mad, that it didnt work with jus modding "shade_bg.png, till i found out, that there is a possibillity, that the xml file maybe has a color code instead of pointing to that png. So i decompiled it and changed
What ROM are you trying to do this on? Also, what are the errors that you are getting when it fails to compile?
1.) Decompile SystemUI.apk
In smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali
Search for the following line:
.method onBarViewAttached()V
Shortly after that, you will find this:
const/4 v0, 0x2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
change this to
const/4 v0, -0x3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2.) In res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml
Change the following:
<View android:background="#ff212121" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
<View android:background="@drawable/shade_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3.) Finally, change res/drawable-hdpi/shade_bg.png to your transparent background
Ok thx alot gonna give it a try
Edit:
@david1171 Im on CM7 RC2, errorlogs are attached, log2 is from ApkManager 4.8.7 the other one from 4.9.
@Master Tried it, but could only find this:
Code:
.method onBarViewAttached()V
.locals 7
.prologue
const/4 v1, -0x1
.line 1234
const/4 v5, -0x3
Any other ideas?

I made mine completely transparent by editing the 'Shade_bd.png' in photoshop, i guess if u wanted it semi transparent with red tint u can try it on photoshop..

That's also what I've done many times in the past, works fine even if you don't have Photoshop, I use paint.net and its fine.

Sure, give me a few minutes and ill be on my laptop. Just one thing that occurred to me, make sure you flatten the image, otherwise it won't work at all.

MattedBlues has a semitransparent grey notif dropdown. Once I get to my other lappy I'll check out the xmls and post anything pertinent.
Will the stock one work on cm7 rc2 cause i had no luck just changing the png on the other one. It stayed semi transparent black like it was before so i guess the xml contains the colour code aswell. Didnt decompile it so im not sure.

I'm pretty sure that by default the NS collab one I gave you already had a transparent black shade. Try using a red or something, just make sure there is only 1 layer when you save
If you tried to use the stock one on CM7 it may work but you will probably have many issues and loads of CM7 features wont work.

Yes ive seen the transparent shade bg, but that must be coded in an xml, cause it didnt even work when i made it solid black. It is still the same semi-trans black. It is even the same when i put original cm7 shade bg in the ns collab systemUI.
Thanks for ur help and ur patience

Ok somehow it worked now with the systemUI.apk from NS collab. I found out that i have to create a new image instead of modding the existing one. But i have no idea why nothing changed when i just copied the stock shade_bg.png into the same apk. When i tried it again today it worked. Maybe i was just to tired the other day
Glad it worked I'm attempting the same thing you needed for a project of mine now so I know what to do if I get stuck

Okay, here is the link to the smart keyboard. and here is the theme http://www.mediafire.com/?yy778k6t2nvltj7. I'd like the keyboard background to be black with fading blue glow around the borders of each key. That's basically all I have for now lol. If you want to add your own touch to it please do.
Ok im out with friends right now, and i think its gonna get late. But tomorrow ill see what i can do
Edit: i think u should remove the smart keyboard link, cause its paid. But im gonna pm it to u as soon as im done.
Edit2: I`ve looked at it and those r all *.9.png`s. To edit them i have to Decompile the apk and Recompile it. And i really have no idea how to compile signed market apps.

Yes, but that only works for .png if u do that with .9.png u mess it up completely. The only thing u could do with .9.png is to let them run through a specific script (read the name somwhere on the net but cant remember) and just change the rgb values. Besides that i never tried it and cant tell if it works, theres still the problem, that u couldnt just make blue outlines on the keys or fade the bg from black to blue.
If u've been able to do that, tell me how, coz i never got .9.png to work without compiling them in an app.

That's why I was so confused on why you guys were trying to modify the skin of the keyboard from the .apk. The actual application supports themes that makes it easier. It's like trying to reskin CM7 when there's a built-in theme manager. Just use the theme manager, it gets the job done easy and quick.

I realize it's been a month since you posted your question...hopefully you have found several themes for fusion by now...If your still looking, what color are you looking for. Or no color?

Bootloaders
Im currently running 2.3 mosaic and wanted to know if fusion had bootloaders in it?i want to go baxk and forth between the 2 roms but really would not have to go back to stoxk but also dont want to brick my cappy.
Seeing as there's been no release for usa captivate i897 gb on samfirmware.com I'm not real sure on the rules of jumping back to froyo. But as far as bootloaders are concerned; no the fusion cwm zips don't contain any.
Hope that helps.
If not talk to xtreme as the same rules would apply if you were jumping back to FF3.0 and he knows more about the GB bootloaders.
Keep in mind tho that the bootloaders for Mosaic is built from i9000 sources.

edit: finally read thru all the posts for this ROM, I'll give "Burnt Fusion" a run... still would like to see something darker.
If not brownish, a rusty or dirty look will do as well. Something like you guys "came across an old abandoned reactor/atom smasher, and are brining it back to life" kinda look.

Hey, I'm trying some dabbling in themes and Modding. I've been using Apk Manager 4.9 to unzip and modify pngs and even used a hex editor to change the colors on the status bar notifications in status_bar.xml.
I tried to decompile the systemUI.apk and found the clock.smali file and changed the textcolor setting in there. But when I go to recompile it in Apk manager, I get errors. I was wondering if one of you cooks could tell me how to change the clock color, or what I might be doing wrong? I'm on Windows 7 and have most of a kitchen with the drivers, Java. notepad++ and stuff.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out, I was deleting the wrong file when I needed to add from the original when I recompiled the apk, now I just have to figured out the color codes.

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Hey guys,
So I decided to take a stab at altering SystemUI.apk to uncenter the clock, but I've run into some problems. Just FYI, I am total noob at this so I could be doing something incredibly stupid, but oh well.
Anyway, I was able to successfully decompile the apk, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml to set <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock... android:gravity="right">, build the apk again, sign it, and push it to my phone, however after all that the status bar just does not show up. I don't think it's the decompiling, building, or signing that's messing up because I performed all of those without editing any of the xml files, pushed it to my phone, and everything worked perfectly.
So what am I missing? Is changing "center" to "right" really enough to kill the statusbar? Do I need to edit something in framework-res.apk or some other file to be compatible with the new SystemUI.apk? Or is it that I need to change something in the smali folders as well as the res folders for it to work?
Any ideas that you guys have would be awesome. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something simple, or if I'm in way over my head with this stuff and need to do more than the hour and a half research and trial and error that I've put in so far =) Thanks guys!
There's a bit more to it than that
There's some moving around to do too.
I attached the original status_bar.xml for you to compare to. (it's already decompiled)
If you wanted you could just replace it with this one. Thought it might help to see what all was changed.
(the attached zip file is not flashable)
Don't sign system apps either. Signing may be why it isn't showing up but I've never signed a system app to know and without looking at it I think you need to put right|center not just right and I am not positive but you may need to move the padding of the status bar icons to the left so there is no overlap.

Easy guys. Just take a stock systemui.apk and move /res/layout/status_bar.xml over to the modded one. Then push. Don't even need to decompile.

Easy guys. Just take a stock systemui.apk and move /res/layout/status_bar.xml over to the modded one. Then push. Don't even need to decompile.

Well his method really is a walk in the park if you can move one file to another lol.

Hmm, something is still wrong. I tried editing the status_bar.xml again, but the status bar still wouldn't show up. Then I deleted the file that was there and pasted in the stock status_bar.xml that Kane posted, pushed it to my phone, and still no status bar/notification pull down. Am I not compiling the apk right?
I'll be on IRC for the next 40 minutes or so if anyone wants to hop on and help me out =)
Did you compile the apk after replacing the XML?

Yup, I actually finally got it to work and just need to tweak a couple things. I took the SystemUI.apk from the latest ICK.zip update, modified the SystemUI.apk file, then created a flashable zip for it. I don't know if it was using a flashable zip that worked, where just using adb push didn't, or if starting over with a different SystemUI.apk was what did it.
@kane: BTW, do you know the hex color code for your ICK theme icons? I was trying to match the color for the clock, but it's slightly off. And Thanks for the stock apk, without comparing the two, I never would have figured out the format for putting the clock back =)
@beamer: Thanks for the heads up to not sign the apk, worked without doing so. That was an annoying step anyway =)
the stock ICS colors are 33B5E5 and 0099CC
I used 33B5E5 for all the edits I did in the ICK theme
0099CC is a little bit darker
I didn't read the whole post but after pushing systemui did you reboot if you don't reboot you won't get a statusbar

I did. I'm thinking the problem was actually the dalvik-cache, maybe? After i got the clock right aligned, i tried to hide some of the status icons like mute and the alarm clock, but i couldn't get any of them hidden and it was driving me crazy. Then i decided to wipe dalvik and it worked perfectly.

Hey guys, im trying to change the spinner for my android device. However, when i copy all the pngs into the framework-res of my device, it just shows the simple white and black circle spinning, it doesnt show the really cool ics spinner animation. What am i missing? ive copied everything obvious over to my framework-res, maybe im missing another xml file?
Are you trying to port the ICS loading spinner animation to GB? Because as far as I'm aware it can't be done simply with PNGs. The GB animation is a simple png that android coding tells to spin. The ICS one is far more complicated then that. It would need extra coding.

Yes I am, and I knew that. The thing is I thought I brought over the extra coding but it still just spins the png, I was hoping you or anyone knew what other coding I might need. I have what I thought were all the xml files copied over but apparently I'm missing something. Thanks for the reply

No prob. Normally I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff but you got me on this. I've never tried backporting stuff from ICS before. They ported the ICS rotation animations to GB in CM so maybe they'll port this as well and you can grab their code and use it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yeah, i have ICS rotation. I love it lol. So much better looking then it was before. But im gonna solve this spinner probelm xD i wonder what it is, i can only thing of .xml files that would control this. But i looked at all the xmls that have "spinner" in their name, I wonder if there is another xml which tells android to use a different spinner animation xml file. maybe i'll open each xml file side by side in notepadd++ and do a comparison. Was hoping somebody knew about it xD
