I'm trying to do the old school G1 vanilla theme on JVH, but the status bar is being all crazy. I have the all the files ported, but the status bar stays black. I cant get it to turn white. What do you guys think?
Thanks!
did you patch the .9.png files correctly?
Just as a side note a white status bar is not a good idea as it is static you run the risk of screen burn with long term use

I was wondering if it is possible to install a fully working white notification bar on the Evil Eris ROM v3.0. I've tried searching the forums and have installed the bar successfully, but the clock is white on a white background, which is extremely annoying. I've tried fixing it with the new spare parts by changing the clock color and still no go. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
try going into the zip file for the white notification bar and changing it? I dont know, im basically a noob, just about a year of experience
Changing the clock color requires you to edit the services.jar file. Do a search of the entire site on changing the clock color.
I've done it before but it's not easy. Requires smali and baksmali and opening up a classes.dex file.
The only zip I could find was 5.0.6. I downloaded it and tried to flash it, but afterwards it hangs on startup, and the blue "X" animation turns back into the red/green/yellow/blue one, and just loops forever. Help?
man im having so much trouble finding a Black notifcation/status bar for CM 508. i just want a reverse of the stock bar.. im not really a fan of the desire bar but i cant find one anywhere
You could just take a working morph theme for cyanogen and replace the proper image files inside with the black bar. I've done that in the past.
But actually cyanogen 508 should have tons of working morphs, black bar and all. Why can't you find any?
im not so crash hot with the themeing etc.. i would have thought a simple black bar and black drawer would have been out there but i jst cant see anything in my searches.. everything out there seems to be a desire black bar or people's own 'tanged' versions.
i really jst want a black bar with stock icons and black tray haha

It's what I'm using.
so, im new to theming... and im working toward getting a black status bar... i have pulled 'framework-res.apk' from my phone and modified 'status_bar_background.png' to black and replaced it in the apk... is there anything else that i need to do, or can i safely push it back to my phone and test it? all i want to do change is the status bar color from that icky blue to black... not change the color of the clock/text, etc... just want to be positive i can go forward, thanks
i figured the general section would be best, since i dont have a working black status bar yet to share with everyone... my apologies if it should have been posted in themes instead
EDIT 1: for the record, i am running the stock deodexed 890 from rootzwiki... i tried it, and it booted fine, but the only black in the status bar is the notifications area in the drop down... going to continue on my quest to get a fully black status bar lol... will continue to post edits of my advancements as i make them
as default the status bar is black on cm7 but i want to mod it like miui
on miui its partly see thru black but when you pull it down it changes white
is this possible?
Flash a CM theme that has status bar you like....
Pipsqueak approved this message.
there isnt any
There's Zdune's miui theme for cm7, except the pull down is grey, I haven't played around with it, but I'm sure you can edit the status bar png to white on pulldown:

The status bar is transparent by default on MIUI and I haven't found a way outside of running MIUI to have the status bar black normally (or transparent) and then have a different color pull down status bar.
MIUI does it very well and I can't seem to find a simple MIUI like CM7 theme either. I've tried the above link but I have issues with icons sticking and overlapping.
Right now I'm leaning toward "MinimalBread" in the Market, but it isn't the same.
Perhaps use just the "Black Version" of the MIUI Theme listed above. I had no luck trying the transparent statusbar patch.
Use the uot kitchen. It's extremely easy to use and will let you do what you are wanting to do.

I would like to change the graphics of my status bar icons. For one I would like to get rid of the retarded Samsung blue icons for battery and WiFi that will be burning in to my NEW EXPENSIVE screen (Sammy should know better!)
I would also like to make OLED safe icons for the home etc icons.
Is it a matter of changing some .PNG files in a certain directory or is it more involved like recompiling and flashing a new ROM (that is beyond my abilities).
Id love to see some changes on the icon or at least the colors they come in, the signal bars and clock on the 'status bar is really an OLED killer.
