Anyone have a Black Status bar or pulldown editor? - Motorola Droid Bionic

Would really like that?
Pulldown editor?

I used a market app to change the pulldown from Verizon Wireless to B&M Services and it FC'd the phone app over and over...
So, I'm sure there needs to be some playing around b4 we see one for the Bionic

I know a few of us are working on the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen right now getting some themes cooked up for folks.
I tested a few themes that I created and one of them was a black taskbar. I'm sure more people will have themes coming out due to bootstrap.
Actually, if need be, I can create a black taskbar, flashable zip in CWM, if you want.

Thanks, but I used the MetaMorph GB black status bar from DroidPirate and it worked. Ironically, the Bionic one from there didn't work.......
Really want to change the VZ on the pulldown and lockscreen, any ideas?

Just tried the app and no success. Usually to manually change it, it's in the eri.xml file. Could be different as I saw some other posts for Moto devices being in a different file.
To manually edit the eri.xml file:

As always, back up your device before doing this.

So I used UOT and made my notification bar black, and some new icons... But, I set up some modifications for the notification pull down window, making it black and transparent and it didn't apply. Any idea why?

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?
WOW
I didn't know we had one of these.
thanks for responding ruger94
i will check in here often.
Fusion 1.9 just about ready.
fixin to flash a test to my wifes phone.
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.

and still in the process of looking...
But I'ed like to see a dark brown / mud / chocolate colored theme for fusion.
Seen lots of blues, reds and greens tho...
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.

Is the launcher locked at 7 or is my brain not working...?

Nope leave it, just wanted to make sure I was not having a idiot moment.. I recall reading that ppl had a to pick between a 7 or 5 a few versions back. Seven won so I'll just have to go looking for more apps/widgets to put them pages to use
Something that just came up... I got a font I really like, but its kinda big... I use the Spare Parts app to shrink the font, but it's not keeping the setting past itself.. how can I get it to keep?

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.

Is it possible for an update in the future to see if you can change the signal bar to the one in Steel Blue where its wavy, and possibly the rotary lockscreen.
Love it! Only issue I've seen so far is the swype keyboard does not stay open and everytime I go to touch it, it disappears. Anyone else have this problem too? It is themed very cool too by the way.

You are mis informed. The same apks used in a journaling rom are used in a journaling off rom. Journaling has to do with the file system and not the apps that are being themed.
sfr and bonsia have cuq removed. What about the viper rom? That is the issue your most likely having with themes

Looking at the viper rom thread I noticed a couple things wrong and why themes ain't working for you. The viper rom is based on eb13 and everyone else is on ec05.
The boots ron uses the old method of removing carrier iq witch caused certain apps to be resigned. with these apps resigned the signatures are different when they should match. The way of removing carrier iq eliminates this problem by leaving the signatures the same.
Again this has nothing to do with journaling

I dont know about the rotary lock screen. I personaly use the pattern lockscreen, but i plan on making one with a aosp lockscreen. The signal bar i didnt personaly like cause it only has 4 bars so vs the 6 bars so its not as accurate of display. I can do it if its requested enough or look at dreamsforgottens tutorial on and you can figure it out pretty easy. pm me if you want help

STILL NEED TO DO draw9patch...
the only mods i have done are graphic skkinning... anywhere i saw turqouise i turned it cyan blue...
the battery icon when normally green is now blue...
the background of the notification area is dark.. thinking of turning it black...
the turqouise toggles in the notification are are now cyan blue...
any where there is a button press is changed from turquiose to cyan blue
this is what it should look like...

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.
Thanks for snazzier look!

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?

That is good to know. I think it is time to go that route. None of the apps I have tried give me what I am after.
Do any of the ROMS address the signal drop issue, or help improve it at all?
So far I have had the same signal issues on stock, liberty and the th3ory roms. I believe it is more a Verizon issue with the 4g phones. Sucks.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I would go to the 5.7.893 update for the signal issues and if you don't want a ROM you can run stock deodexed and one of DroidJunk's mods I'm running Eclipse myself but it is really up to you as they are all good
Thanks for all the input guys. Very much appreciated.
bignadad's BigDX themes for stock 5.5.886 and 5.5.893 have this built in.
DroidJunk from MyDroidWorld.com has a mod zip with just this mod without any other theme updates.
Good deal.... now that I am rooted, I will try out some of these options. Awesome!
Must be deodexed first
if you dont want another rom, download
this mod from MDW which works great, it's what Tivo7 is referring to

Transparent MotoMms

Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.

I did and it's nice but I'm more of a stock dark holo type.

Ohhh gotcha well if someone stops reporting me for putting up apps that are not specifically for the Moto X than I will post that here once it is done! LOL Just kidding, it will be either here or on the Ultra forum as that is the closest one for the Mini which is the phone I have.

OK, so I gave your inverted MMS another try.... And it has grown on me, sticking with it as I cannot stand the white background. Any chance of matching contacts? Thanks again for your work!

Any chance we could get this as an exposed framework module? My droid maxx doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.

I'm not unlocked either.... Pulling the apk's out of the zips and placing in system/app....

Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!

I am really enjoying your work! I hate to pester but do you think you could give us choices of icon color too? i'm not a fan of the dark blue SMS icon we get stuck with when using either this or the blacked out one...it would be nice to have a few downloads that use a different icon color but keep the transparency or darkness....just a thought. none the less, great work and we all appreciate what you've done for us and our phones
