Hello everybody
Could someone please give me a stepwise breakdown on if/how I could get trasparent notification bar on CM7 nightly ?
that's good idea!
You would have to pull the theme manager theme of choice out and change the statusbar_background.9.png to a transparent color.
So for SystemUI(using winRAR):
double click on the .zip to open it
double click on system ->app -> SystemUI.apk to open it
click on res
pull drawable-hdpi to your desktop
find statusbar_background.9.png and open it with your editor of choice that has transparency ability i.e paint.net, photoshop
make the bar transparent, save it
drop the file back in the drawable-hdpi folder of the SystemUI apk
when the little window pops up to say would you like to blah blah blah click yes
flash the rom and enjoy your transparent status bar

For some reason, after multiple tries, i keep messing up my status bar. Im not sure if there are minute settings that i have to tinker with in paint.net but for some reason its just not coming out well. If you have any paint.net specific transparency settings to toggle id greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the above tutorial though, it may just be me not getting it haha.

You have to do it for an individual theme. EX: Cyanbread.apk you have to edit file. Sometimes you have to do some coding.

sonny told me this some time ago but apktool doesn't work
you need to modify the classes.dex first!
this is pretty advanced but not that hard to learn....
the only way I have been able to do this is by way of baksmali-smali..
-find smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
-open StatusBarService.smali
-search for the line
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
-above that line you will see
Code:
const/4 v5, 0x2
-change it to
Code:
const/4 v5, -0x3
-then change to statusbar_background.9.png to the level transparency you want in gimp or photoshop
-

It is this might look like greek but it is really simple once you get into it (learn baksmali-smali). changing the code line from const/4 v5, 0x2 to (-0x3) is necessary for anything to be transparent i.e. pulldown shade

Finally someone has done by following the advice above?

this will make your statusbar clear. this is the only mod. you must run a live wallpaper or if you are using a gallery picture make sure in adw settings/system preferences that wall paper hack is disabled
http://www.mediafire.com/?hx155d77k3ee9v7
edit* the pulldown is also transparent

just un zip it and look at the names you dont want and change in gimp what you dont like...then (you still have a zipped version) use winrar to open (not unzip) and drag the newly modified .pngs in and delete the ones you don't want
then to flash turn off signature verification in recovery...(or re-sign)

Is there a way to change the color of the status bar ? Maybe some kind of app ?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA
App
yes there are many..
one of them is the search function
I'm gunna dredge this up because if you search "change status bar color" all you end up with is "show your home screen", a million threads on things with a title that has nothing to do with changing status bar colours and this thread.
How about being helpful for the new-to-android types that don't know what metamorph is and provide a link?

I used google and found a link fairly quick but since I'm new and I can't post a link, I guess your just going to need to search using this phrase "how to use metamorph XDA". It should be the first link...
Change statusbar_background.png in framework-res.apk and push it back to your phone in Recovery
Or create a metamorph for it

Yeah, I've done it. I just meant that the reply (especially from someone with a donate button!) to the OP could be more helpful for people new to android.
Since it is possible to change the color of the status bar, is it also possible to change the color of the settings screen? This screen is white on black on my HTC evo (and I think other devices). I would like to change it to black on white or so. I searched a lot, but couldn't find any method how to do this. Thanks again for any ideas!
I guess it is not possible?

the status bar is an image found in framework-res.apk /res/drawable-hdpi/
statusbar_background.png - status bar image. change it in photoshop to what you like. it's not a "color," so you can change the image to have a shadow, a design, whatever you like.
just keep in mind that if you make it transparent (like i did)...it may not work well with other apps on your phone (i.e. you'll see the apps background through the bar on top, not always a good thing!
dont confuse it with status_bar_background.png, which is the background file for your notification drawer.

Many thanks! I will try to find this in the file you mentioned. Basically I will change that background with white.

You have to decompile to be able to edit xml files. One of those three files mentioned to search for(status bar expand) causes my phone to boot loop when I edit it. Is it linked to some other file that must also be edited?

Hey people. I would like to make my notification bar transperant, just dosn't know how? - Please help.
Well the hard way would be to modify or the framework.res or whaterver exact filename is. There are long guides posted around and it's needed to flash the rom with the modifided framework.res I believe or else with root access using adb copy it to the system folders. Anyway honestly can't be F**ked with that
The easy way is just install a theme with it already done. I like AuraxTSence theme.It's got a nice transparent status bar and notification bar as well as lock screen. Follow this link. Just make sure you download the one that's been modified to work for Desire HD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928
If you don't know how to install it you just copy the .apk file over to your sd card and use a file manager like Astro to install the theme just like any app.
^Easier still, you can download the XDA app off of the market, find the skins thread and download and install from there.

I tried that but transparency didn't work
For transparency modding framework-res or using skins is not enough since froyo. You need a modified services.jar
In order to acchieve it you decompile services.jar with smali baksmali, open StatusBarService.smali and look for:
.line 1531
const/4 v5, 0x2
replace it with:
.line 1531
const/4 v5, -0x3
Then compile and push back to system/framework
The faster way:
"Steal" the services.jar from my Revolution theme and enjoy - in any case you certainly need a transparent or semi transparent status_bar_background.png in framework-res. If you also need the top of the bar transparent also use a semi transparent statusbar_background.png
You can also use my TransparencyHackSense2.2.1 metamorph, which injects the png in your framework and the modded classes.dex in your services.jar - I added this time both png`s for top bar and background, will certainly only work on 2.2.1 Sense ROM`s

look at my theme, i just hard modified framework res
Hi i would like some help which would be nice from any Theme Creator or Dev because they will probably know where to look.
So can anyone tell me which files need to be changed to make the volume & brightness bars in quicksettings pulldown bar to change the bar color? i have changed the color via framework, system ui or htc res, rosie, settings files but.... not sure which files i changed in what location that did that?
Also which file do i need to locate to change the button pressed on the home screen? Cause i wanna get rid of the green sense look to my phone, my phone is looking pretty modded & i know how to use Photoshop to change PNGs & know how to mod APKs too.
Any help would be great i have tried the search bar on here & also in google but didnt get any results & to be honest i know people on XDA will know this.... thanks in advance
The progress bar color in quick settings is defined by this file: common_progress_full.9.png (in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi)
Are you using a Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Sense 3.5 rom? If yes, the button press color in the homescreens can't be changed. At the moment all available tools fail with decoding the images.
In Sense 2.1, you have to edit Rosie.apk. For Sense 3 (+ GB 2.3.3 or .4), fusion.apk has to be edited with m10 tool.
I can give you more details if you want to.
Thanks
Thanks for that but i cant locate it in my system ui/res/drawable-hdpi? i tried looking in htc/rs/draw-hdpi too? cant find that common_progress_full.9.png? could you check again for me or if have time upload the file? i cant see why it would be missing though?
I havent had a chance to mess with the m10 editor? is it easy enough to use when editing the fusion.apk?
I love XDA.... its the best for phone modding & has many helpful members

You have to load the Rosie.apk with m10 editor, then decompile the Rosie_navbar.m10 file and change the following opacity values from 1 to 0.0099999998. If you set them to 0, pressing on the buttons will have no effect.

I tryed kitchen. But in the LG ROM some files are not in framework-res or system ui.
So you can change only status Icons and battery icon but not the ugly blueish style of the whole ROM like the Icons in the dropdown menu.
Is it understandable what im trying to say?
Yes, me too I've tried several times changing the icons in the drop-down menu but so far i haven't succeeded :/

It's because some things are named different. You can't change those icons unless you decompile. Example, in dropdown menu/pull down menu, indi_noti_bluetooth_off (LG) versus stat_bluetooth_off (Gingerbread, CM7). UOT doesn't cover that.

If you want to change those icons, they are located in SystemUI. If you have your UOT zip, extract/unzip it.
1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.
Be aware of the icon size (for alignment) left and right. You can crop top and bottom so you can resize it's background too. Same as the Carrier background. See my unresized background example below (V20N). A waste of space. Then see my modified one (CM7). you only get good results by decompiling. UOT cannot resize backgrounds.

This theme I made, for most basic stuff, it's just getting png's from some clean Gingerbread Rom like Nexus one's. For more concrete things like volume bar of description text, well you have to get into xml's and test, but not hard for someone like gabwerkz and some others.

No such files, atleast the one I'm using. I'll look into stock one, but I think they are important and should be there even in repacked ones if they are included indeed in Gingerbread. thanks for the advice tony.

2. go to its /layout folder
3. edit status_bar.xml file:
- find line : <com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView ...... containing android:background="#FF000000"
- change value of background to "#00000000" and now you have got full transparency of statusbar ( just like mine )
easy, isn't it ?

Yes, it is. I did this screen shot especially for you to show you result of changes.
To tell the truth I don't remember from which place I downloaded my apktool, but use google and I'm sure that you will find what you looking for

The apktool I used first could not compile SystemUI.apk
Then I changed it
Then I changed the hex code to semi transparent
And when I replaced the SystemUI.apk
My status bar was gone
I think transparent might work
Can you please upload your apktool
I would be really grateful
As U wish, here U are. Hope will be helpful
Okay?

I've done as you said and but my status bar gone
