I have been theming a KF1 build from the leaked KF1 firmware (Now have moved on to Cognition 5.2 but have the same problem) and have run into one seemingly small problem - - the drop down shade shows black text on the very first notification (for Lookout app). Please see attached screenshot.
I haven't been able to find the correct xml file to edit. Does anyone know of the "usual" file I need to edit to show white text instead of the black?
I apologize if this question has been answered before and I appreciate any help given.
ADDITION: I posted this in the Q&A section and have gotten no response. Hopefully someone will know a solution.
It also occurred to me yesterday to try and lighten the background to make the black text more visible. I'm currently trying that path but if anyone can tell me which text color attribute in which xml file for what apk to change to white, I would be grateful.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
That is because that notification is run by Lookout, you would have to edit/change some settings in Lookout to get the text to be white.

Thank you....I thought of that but I'm kind of bummed because Lookout updates semi-constantly. After an update I assume the text would go back to black.
I'll try it and see......stay tuned!
EDIT: Can't seem to find the apk for Lookout (not in system/apps) which makes sense since it is a security app. Oh, well....trying opacity with the background next
any chance of you uploading your theme at all?

You could try to do what I thought up of and make the background for notifications a gradient so though black text would still be harder to read, it wouldn't be invisible.

I will create a full CWM zip file tomorrow and upload it here.
My DSL is down until my ISP brings a new modem tomorrow.
Please know that I didn't do anything extraordinary...just changed some png files from some roms I liked as well as changed some colors here and there. I will try to give some credit where I remember.
I did add the AOSP lockscreen mod as well as the ui mod. Let me figure out who to credit so we all can recognize all the talented devs we all rely upon as well as admire.
Thank you for your interest and consideration!

I tried to upload my theme and screenshots but I think I uploaded the wrong files.
I did a complete reinstall of Cog 5 v2 to check the theme and it seems I'm missing something.
Oh well....learning here. Stay tuned!
I started fresh but am having problems making the shade background transparent.
Every graphic I can think of in SystemUI and Framework-res are 10-50% transparent and all I get is this gray background on the shade. Maddening!!
I borrowed the shade graphic from Blue Darkness just to test (in case anyone unzips the files) so I can see if I get a transparent shade.
Any suggestions would be apppreciated. Thanks!
ADDITION: For some reason every screenshot app I use discolors the blues and the reds/oranges. I apologize for the weird screenshots.
I am confused, what are you trying to do?
Oh, and protip, use ddms.bat in your tools folder of your sdk for screenshots. Not only is it easier to get the screenshots onto your computer (cause they already are...) they won't be scewy.

About various other apps/widgets being skinned, well basically you can take the apk that it is in the theme and put it on the root of your sdcard and do this in the recovery console
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
ls /system/app (only if you need to find the exact name, skip if you don't need the exact name)

you are actually having a massive fail (but its ok). there are 3 files edited. one .png, one .xml, one .dex.
literally all this is is a black notification with the clock and date and the text for the notifications white.

I would prefer black bars too, but the problem is that app icons are designed for white background, so some of them can't even be seen when the bar is black.

I personally never cared about the app icons on main screen; I only look at the tray icon and notification bar colors and icons.
The icons I'm talking about are notification ones like the one for Swift, which is just a black flying bird. This would be a black bird on black bar background, making it invisible.

i could but then if some of the apps or paid then it would be an issue of warez and i would rather not get into that. also it would need to be done every time the app is updated.
true. too much work and trouble. well then, guys if you want a simple black bar, be ready to sacrifice some notifications. none of mine are black, except weatherbug, but thank god you can change that one to white its an option in the app!

just download it, put it on the ROOT of your sdcard(meaning NOT in any folder) then go into recovery and just flash it like you would flash a rom.
basically its exactly the same as flashing a rom.

hmmm. which one are you trying, also what did it say , did it tell you it was a bad file (i had that one with a rom, and redownloading it fixed it) or did it say something about about verification or not being signed properly?
I was flashing it normally and it said the blackbar(bad) instalation aborted I was using cm 4.11.1 but I will redownload and try again
i think it might be the signing thing.. does the file name have anything to do with it? cause i see for 4.0.4 it says signed but 4.1.11.1 does not. might be that?
crap i gotta go back to work. be back later!

nawh man, (or else i probably would've heard something from the 15 or 16 that have got it so far).
i think that means that the download got corrupted, try to redownload it and flash it again, if that doesn't work i will resign it and upload it again.
ok i tried redownloading but its not working with 4.1.11.1 then i tried to download the other one to see if it was a problem with my conection it downloaded fine. i think i might need a mirror

That looks pretty close, is there a theme that has semi transparent notifications too? I'll have a browse about and see if I can find one. If not then that'll be the next best thing
I would like a stand-alone skin for just the notificationbar. Today I use the clear as a bell theme and i would like to take it a step further with transparent natificationbar. It would look sweet... =)
Anyone sitting on a zip of what i need?
bump im afraid folks
i would do it for you guys but im not sure about something..
since all the themes iv done involve replacing "whole" apps, you would loose part of your current theme..
so unless you can remove files from an apk that arnt going to be changed, i cant help
anyone know?
to re -word... when you apply a theme, is the folder of the app replaced (in which case any files that were removed in theme, would not be on your phone anymore causing problems) or is it file to file meaning only files in side a folder that are "present" in the theme will be replaced on the phone?
i dont know enough about it to be sure, but the way i saw it, would be to replace/change the .png that currently draws down behind the notification area, just have its opacity reduced by 50%. Im probably way off on this........
what app would the notification area be? is it an individual app that can be messed with?
not really, thats why i asked what i asked... if i change just the notifications, it will change peoples themes
Hello everyone, I am hoping some more developers will try to help out and keep this project alive. Hoping these issues might be figured out by someone.
Issues:
3G and 1X dormant icons are default HTC as well as USB
White clock text
Clear button is dark with black text
Some things worth noting. The stat_sys_data_usb.png icon and the stat_notify_sync_error.png icon are already in /system/framework/framework-res.apk but the weird problem is for some reason these icons are not showing up correctly, and instead they default to HTC. Other icons in framework-res and com.htc.resources are not doing this.

There is a TON of info on editing task bars and other theme elements in the cdma hero section mater of fact a good deal of their stuff works with various eris roms. Some of the roms running over there are legend or eris based now we have ports based off the Sprint roms so theyre themes and various add ons working also (ive tried a few) as far as text and icons I believe it has to do with the .9pngs etc...give it a read and there are a ton of helpful heroc fellas. chubz, vince just to name a few.
Yeah I've been waiting for someone to come up with a fix for the clock font color, but it seems to be fairly difficult to find? Or perhaps other things are being worked on by the limited amount of devs we've got on the Eris.

I'm a super noob at this, but I spent part of the day yesterday trying to fix my title bar with the icons I wanted in the Aloysis ROM. It seemed like the text color and icon image files were referenced by xml files? Have you tried looking there for fixes to your issues?
For the record there is a hero theme the Aloysis 4.1 ROM is based off of which may be configured close to what u want. I wanted to configure mine to look more like yours but I got frustrated and gave up.

Why someone with photoshop. It's just as doable with Gimp, a totally free image editor.
i dont have an image editor, slash i didnt know that. And its not the actual lock screen or anything i need.
i downloaded lockbot and you can use your own image as the background, so if i got a transparent one then i would have a transparent lockscreen..

if you do want to try it ... do a nandroid or bart backup before you PUSH the file onto /system/framework folder

it says verification failed?
If your looking to set an image as a lockscreen background its not as easy as having a transparent image. Android does not treat it as if it is transparent.
Hoping someone can work out a fix soon though.
oh i see. well thats helpful thanks. Also when trying to flash all these zips that people are putting together for me, when i try to flash them i get an error "verification failed"!!

There was a Vanilla ROM with transparent locksscreen. I think it even was SuperHero and I remember it coz people did not like transparent lockscreens. It made screen look messy. Also some other vanilla ROMs have semi transparent lockscreens - it shows only wallppaper, not all icons and widgets - which I found very cool, especially if you like live wallpapers. I want to make it work on sense ROMs, don't know how so

CREDITS:
zach.xtr for his awesome xtrROM
.mak for the Espresso lock screen PNGs pulled from zenEXP
Android SDK (source of vanilla PNG files)
*All PNGs were optimized after pulling them from source*
This guide will give an even more vanilla look to xtrROM for those who like the orange highlights and white notification bar. Additionally, I have included the Espresso lockscreen (refer to screenshot) in a modified com.htc.resources.apk file. The lockscreen will still remain transparent, I just chose to use a wallpaper, so the screenshot doesn't show the transparent one. Most everything will have the highlights changed to the stock orange color, save a few things in the HTC-specific apps.
Before you do anything, make a NAND backup and/or make a backup of the files being pushed in this tutorial before pushing the ones I have provided. I have not tested this on another phone, as I only have the one that I performed this mod on, but I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work on another phone.
This was performed with xtrROM v 4.5.2. This may not work on previous versions.
Perform the following steps using ADB:
1. Push framework-res.apk, services.jar, and com.htc.resources.apk as follows:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
NOTE: You *MUST* push the services.jar file if you want the clock to appear black on the white notification bar. Otherwise, it will remain white against a white background. Not very appealing, imo.
2. Your phone will soft reboot - this is normal. If you want, you can just force a hard reboot with:
Code:
adb reboot
YOUR PHONE MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO BOOT. THIS IS NORMAL. If it takes an exorbitant amount of time (say 7 - 10 mins.), then it's probably safe to call it a failure. As long as your boot animation hasn't restarted or frozen, don't give up hope.
As pointed out by adrenalinerush12 and jadesdan, you must push com.htc.resources.apk if you want all the notification bar icons to appear white, since the stock HTC file overrides them in framework-res.apk. This means you will also get the Espresso lock screen (which, in my personal opinion, is the best-looking lock screen), but if somebody REALLY likes the boring grey "boomerang" bar, I suppose I can cook one up. Let me know.
com.htc.resources.apk Download:
HTML:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IYU0T72P
framework-res.apk Download: Link down - file uploaded to this thread below.
services.jar Download: Link down - file uploaded to this thread below. VERY IMPORTANT: the file is named services.zip at the bottom because XDA doesn't let me upload .jar files , SO make sure to rename it to "services.jar" BEFORE you push the file to your phone.
The reason why I installed 2.1 is so I can have Sense with a black notification bar. Oh well, some people might actually like this. Nice work!
This looks awsome! I love the XTR roms but couldn't stand the black bar.....
The framework and services.jar links are down
EDIT: I should have read the word "temporarily" a little closer.
Freakin SWEET! I love the speed of xtrROM, just didn't like the green highlights and black notification bar. This is perfect for me. Thanks a bunch.

That's odd, because it wasn't down for me. It let me download them just a few minutes ago.

Okay, when I pushed both framework-res.apk and services.jar, this is what I get:
Don't know what the issue is, but I pushed it twice to make sure. Still does the same thing.
I've tried both with the MegaUpload files and also the ones linked here, but this is what I get. I've even tried wiping Dalvik and all, but this is the best I can do. You can tell that it's taking, but I think there might be some icons missing.

Hmmm, actually now I remember that some of the PNGs in framework-res.apk are overridden in the com.htc.resources.apk. I didn't think it was so many, though. Try pushing the com.htc.resources.apk, too. If you don't want the espresso lock screen, I can always change it for you later, but I just want to see if that fixes the notification bar icons.
Yup. That fixed it! I actually deleted HtcLockScreen.apk because I like the stock horizontal slide one anyways. Thanks a bunch man.

No problem, but it seems that the notification bar clear button is black.. and so is the text, which makes it difficult to read. Not a huge deal, but. And icons such as a new text message with the stock app are still messed up looking. (With black as the background).

Download and push the new services.jar (services.zip at the bottom of the thread) to fix the black "clear" button. I actually just fixed that last night - took a lot of fishing around to find out how to do it. I know the stock htc apps still have their original look in the noti bar - I didn't want to take the time to change them. Haha, maybe in the future.
Oh, and when my 3G icon changes to 1X to send a text, it goes back to the black icon. Then changes right back to the right 3G one.
i am trying to apply this to xtrSENSE. i've got the white bar working, but the services.jar part is doing nothing. do i have to extract anything or just simply rename it? i have renamed it, but it says not found or something to that effect. i do understand that this may not work due to the fact that this is slightly different than xtrROM with rosie and whatnot.

Cool, so framework-res.apk pushed successfully. You shouldn't extract anything from services.zip, just rename it to services.jar and push it. There are modifications to the smali code in services.jar, rather than just swapping out PNGs, so it's somewhat likely that it won't work. It's very picky - one thing out of place, and it doesn't boot. I've learned that the hard way.
May I ask what you are using for the Sense like clock/weather and the icons? They are pretty cool.

For sure. The clock/weather widget is called "Fancy Widget". It's no longer on the market because the developers received a cease and desist order from HTC (can't imagine why ). Anyway, just google "fancy widget 1.3.0", and I guarantee you'll find it. I wouldn't have a problem uploading it, but some people might take issue since it's now a black market item. Whatev.
By the icons, do you mean the widgets that I have under the weather/clock widget? Those are all by curvefish and free in the market. Just search "curvefish". And if you're referring to the smiley face messaging icon I have, it's because I found a modified vanilla mms apk on a forum (can't stand HTC's slow as hell excuse for a text messaging program). Since that's open source, I've attached it to the post if you want it. Just be sure to delete HTC's mms, or you'll get some weird behavior.

Great, thank you for the information. I have heard of Fancy Widgets, just never used it. I have purchased Beautiful Widgets and used it a little bit. I have searched for a theme that resembles the Sense one but have not found it yet.
I am currently using xtrSENSE so I have the Sense UI. Once Zach updates xtrROM I am going to install that and go back to launcher pro and beautiful widgets for my homescreen.
