White status bar

Anyone who wants to play around with the status bar at the top by changing colours e.g. from standard black to white just edit the file attached. Leave it in png format and the name as it is. Just edit the colour. Use adb or metamorph to include it in a theme or your choosing. And only place it in the following 2 folders - framework-res\res\drawable-480x320 and folder - framework-res\res\drawable-land-480x320.
It may not be necessary for both but it works for me. Jus thought to pass this info on. Cos Im working on icons. All creds to Ratcom as I was searching for this in one of his themes and Foxy Editor dev as I can edit the colour on my phone and also to the dev of Astro for making it easy2copy and paste
cheers guys/girls.

then how will you make the clock and date font color to black? becuase white text on white bar wont be visible.

Jm still playin around with other files at the moment. But when i do findout it"ll be on here.jus wanted2share the truble it takes for newbies

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

WildpuzzleROM have that allredy. hmm but not the tiny bar, but when you drag that down it will be transparent.
Regard Daniel
(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...

Removing Battery Icon From Status Bar

I was wondering if there is a simple guide to remove the battery icon completely from the status bar. My search has so far shown me links for sense based roms only. I am currently running enom's rom and would appreciate a heads up as to the name of the jar or services file within the rom that controls the icons.
thanks in advance.

You could open up the framework res, open the icon files and just erase the contents and resave. Then just make a metamorph with the empty files.

I would rather remove it completely...replacing with transparent icons will put an empty spot on the status bar.

I'm interested to remove the clock from the status bar!!
Any idea?

You can hide the clock if you're using CyanogenMod.
As for battery, I'd like to know that too as I'm using an app that shows battery in the status bar already, so system battery icon is redundant.

How can I install CyanogenMod? I use a stock rom

MIUI Help

Hey all,
I'm trying to use the status bar from one miui theme in a different theme, but when i put the status bar png into the new theme, it doesn't work and it "breaks" the theme. Also, changing the status bar icons seem to "break" the theme as well. I'm using a miui dark theme and when I change the status bar or icons, the status bar becomes white and completely unreadable. anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
thanks for your help

wow..no help at all?

Just sinply put both on ur phones theme. And choose theme. And edit ur theme and change only status bar to the other theme

Thanks for your reply, I should mention that the status bar and icons that I want to use are from a CM7 theme, so i would have to put the pngs from the CM7 theme into the miui theme.

You have to make sure that they're named correctly. If you aren't renaming when you replace, this could be the issue. The pngs may also need to be resized.
If you want to pm me the files, I can take a look at it & either tell you what you need to do or fix it. If you post in the thread I may not see it, but Tapatalk will tell me that I have a message, so pm me if you want my help.
