This is a black status bar theme that looks just like the one you had back in the days when you were running the Eris OTA ROM. This theme is for medium resolution phones like the Eris, Hero, etc.
Gingerbread ROMs
Tested with GSB 1.5 and 2.2, but it should install just fine on any medium-res GB rom. For now there is a single theme file that updates the top status bar. I haven't yet ported the pull-down notification panel.
INSTALLATION FOR GINGERBREAD ROMs:
Download the attached HtcStatusBar4GB.zip file and then install using ZipThemer with these instructions. ZipThemer is free from the market.
CM6-based ROMs (Froyo)
I developed and tested it with KaosFroyo v32, v37, and v39. It will work on most any CM6 ROMs with the same screen resolution as the Eris.
There are two themes, one which just sets the color and icons in the top status bar, and another that updates the notification pull-down panel. Install both if you want the full HTC notification experience.
INSTALLATION FOR CM6 ROMs:
This is now a ZipThemer theme, but also remains compatible with MetaMorph.
1) Install the ZipThemer version 1.1 or above from the Market. Its free!
2) Download the attached HtcBlackStatusBarTheme.zip. Also download HtcNotificationPanel.zip for the full HTC notification experience. The first sets the top status bar, the second modifies the pull-down notification panel.
3) Fire up ZipThemer.
4) Click "+Theme" and browse to, then select, HtcBlackStatusBarTheme.zip. Repeat if you also want to install HtcNotificationPanel.zip.
5) Optionally select a different output zip file, and/or edit the ouptut filename using the "+Output" and "*Output" buttons.
6) If installing both the status bar and notification panel at the same time, expand the HtcBlackStatusBar item and uncheck the "CM Tweak Extras file", leaving the corresponding item checked under HtcNotificationBar.
7) Click "Built It!" to create the flashable update.zip file. The output file is signed and ready for flashing! But don't flash yet, you have to set the notification text colors in separate steps, so continuing on...
8) Press Menu, Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweak extras -> Select a Theme. Select HtcBlackStatusBar if you are only installing the status bar changes, or HtcNotificationPanel if installing both the bar and panel themes.
Click "OK".
10) Now boot into recovery and flash your update.
The file FroyoStatusBarTheme.zip can be used to return the status bar and notification panel to the stock Froyo look and feel. This theme also contains a cmparts_ui.xml for setting the clock and text colors back to black. E.g., same instructions as above to install.

Please read the KNOWN ISSUES section below.
INSTALLATION:
This is my first theme and I'm still learning. THIS IS NOT A
FLASHABLE ZIP FILE! The theme must be installed manually via adb commands, so you must have the Android SDK in order to install
this theme.
1) Make a Nandroid backup first!
2) Extract the zip file somewhere on your computer
3) Using adb, execute the following command:
adb push sdcard/cmparts_ui.xml /sdcard/cmparts_ui.xml
4) On your phone, press Menu, Settings -> Cayanogen Mod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweak extras -> Import colors from XML.
Click "OK". Do not reboot yet. This step sets the clock and date text color to white.
5) Using adb, execute the following commands:
adb remount
adb push system/framework/framework-res.apk.theme /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push system/app/Mms.apk.theme /system/app/Mms.apk
adb reboot
KNOWN ISSUES
The home screen background image always reverts to the default KaosFroyo image when installing.
Sometimes, after pushing the apk files to the device and rebooting, I would have to re-add my Google and Facebook accounts. The sympom is an empty contact list, no icons in the call log, etc.
On rare occasion the phone would enter a boot-loop after installing the apk files. If this happens pull the battery, boot into recovery, and restore from a known good nandroid backup.

Its fairly easy, I took the plunge a few days ago and all is well so far. Still much to learn for me the curve is steep.
Updated to MetaMorph. All the details are in the first post.
Thanks awesome. I miss Sense but I want Froyo. I can't wait for a Sense Froyo ROM for the Eris.
Thanks, glad you like it.
I don't miss Sense myself, I just think HTC did a better job with the status bar than Google did.

One problem. The bottom graphic of the notification shade is still the original Vanilla white. Was it suppose to change to the black like in the Sense UI?
I also couldn't import the XML file via Cyanogen menu. There was no option to import. Only options were to load themes from SD and it only had Stock and Dark as options.

This theme does not update the notification panel (the pull down part), so yes it remains stock white.
I haven't installed v35 yet... didn't realize it was out until just now. I'll post again after I get that sorted out.

Thanks. I fixed it myself. I could make this theme, I am just lazy =] That is why we need people like you <3
I've added another theme for the HTC pull-down notification panel. Download HtcNotificationPanel.zip and install it using the same seven steps.
I updated the instructions in the first post for CM6.1 (KaosFroyo v35 and beyond).
Thank you!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I love Froyo, but missed the HTC Status bar.
not sure what I am missing here but I don't understand. after I copy: Copy to /sdcard/CMTheme/cmparts_ui.xml for 6.1.x what or where am I pasting/moving it to?

Once you copy the file into /sdcard/CMTheme, continue at step 6...
6) Press Menu, Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweak extras -> "Select a Theme". Select the "cmparts_ui" theme.
Click "OK" but do not reboot yet. Then proceed to step 7.
This is just what I've been looking for. Unfortunately it's such a chore to install it whenever I flash a new ROM I stopped doing it (I do not like the light status bar). It takes me at least two passes of about 15 steps and it never applies the first time. Metamorph always seems to reboot the device in the middle causing me to start over. It is possible to make this a flashable zip? That would be great.
I am installing this theme as we speak, but how long does Metamorph usually take to patch this stuff in? It's been doing the framework for like 10 minutes now.

It would be my first flashable zip, but I think I can handle it.
If I understand how they work, it means that entire files in the filesystem are replaced and not simply patched like MetaMorph does. In theory this means that the update.zip should be targeted at specific ROMs or major OS version (2.1, 2.2, etc).
Which ROM do you run most often and what is the OS version -- 2.1 or 2.2? Are you just upgrading the ROM versions or going from one ROM to another (e.g., from KaosFroyo to CELB, etc).
Also, are you installing just HtcBlackStatusBarTheme, or both HtcBlackStatusBarTheme.zip and HtcNotificationPanel.zip?
FYI, the MetaMorph delay setting really does help to stabalize the Metamorph install process. I've got mine set to 5000 and it only reboots when patching framework-res.apk, and the reboot seems to happen after it has successfully patched anyway.

MetaMorph usually crashes just after successfully patching framework-res.apk. Usually the device just reboots but in your case it appears to have hung so pull the battery. Be sure you set the Metamorph delay setting to the maximum value (5000). This seems to help a bit.
Also, apply the sub-themes one-by-one instead of using "apply all".

I use Kaos Froyo, currently on v37. I do flash both zip files and have gotten it to work a couple of times. I think it took four tries last time and I did have the max delay in MM.
Thanks for considering my request.
White Circle Metamorph
*Disclaimer* I am not responsible for damaging your phone. You have to realize by now that all modifications performed by you are YOUR responsiblity. I will feel bad if it messes up your phone somehow, but I don't have any $, so you are on your own. To be on the safe side, always do a Nandroid back up before playing with the framework-res.apk *Disclaimer*
So, I have moved on in the phone world to the Motorola Droid, but I want to show you all that I still have some love for the Eris world. I have been seeing some interest in using the Circle Battery icons, so I went a head and modified the Transparent Chaos MetaMorph to just give you the battery icons only. Prerequisites:
1) You must be rooted.
2) You must have Metamorph and Busybox installed.
3) You must have a folder labeled: AndroidThemes on your SD card.
4) You must download this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Transparent_Chaos.zip and put it in your AndroidThemes folder on SD card.
So, here's how we do this thing then:
1) Open MetaMorph
2) Unzip/Extract New Theme
3) Choose your Transparent_Chaos.zip
4) At this stage, it will probably boot you out of the app with a warning about it not being named right (blah blah blah), but not to worry, just go back in and then choose the Pick Existing Theme, navigate to the folder Transparent_Chaos and then chose the Transparent_Chaos.XML file and select.
5) It will apply, and then tell you it made a change that requires a reboot, select OK or Yes or whatever.
6) Enjoy.
It will wipe your wallpaper too, though I am not certain why. Easy fix though lol. If there is enough call for it, I can make colored versions. Hope everyone likes it
Thanks, looks great.

Most roms have this baked in. I know the Cyanogen based roms do, not too sure about Sense roms. I haven't used one of those in 6 months probably. If you have a CM based rom, you'll find this under Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Status Bar > Battery Percentage. If you have a Sense based rom, you might want to check out this other MM theme I made, here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/183907-circle-battery-zip.html#post1653756
This is just the battery from xtrRom so thank the dev for that, I just made it into a MM theme. Hope this helps.
Ok so I modified the framework-res.apk file to have a custom notification bar. My question is how to make it so I can flash just the notification bar onto my phone? I know Metamorph is real easy but I want to be able to flash it in Clockworkmod Recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
easiest way to do it is adb pushing it back to /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Well that's what I have been doing, but I want to make it be able to be flashed in recovery.

Tried it and it seems great, but for some reason its causing everything to crash and force close on my phone.
Ok, so I think I narrowed it down to the fact that I need the correct update-script. I made one, flashed it and it went fine, but then I rebooted and didnt see a difference. So I tried to reflash it and then it gave me a syntax error. I know what a syntax error is, but my question is if anybody could give me the info of what I should put in the update-script so that it'll work correctly. Thanks!
i have a question too...
my phone has touchwiz 3.0
which in the notification bar there is a toggle buttons like; wifi, silent, bluetooth... etc.
i know it's important and useful, but why have to put it in notification bar... wasting some space, especially when in landscape mode.
is there any way to remove that toggle button?
I have that toggle widget too on my P500.
My .apk is located in /system/framework/lge-res.apk .
Backup it and then delete the .apk and see if it goes. If it doesn't work you will need a custom ROM with the toggle widget stripped out.
I want touchwiz on my phone.

Hi,
My previous phone was a Xperia Active with lots of mods. One of the mods were the toggles in the SystemUI (in the notification screen).
On the S3 mini it's not possible to select which toggles are selectable and in which order.
So I thought, lets install PowerToggles from the play store.
But then I have two rows of toggles. Just a little bit too much.
So, is there a SystemUI around (JB 4.1.2) with selectable toggles? (And is it important if this is deodex or not? I'm on stock ROM)
If not, is it hard to make a SystemUI without any toggles and free up the space they take in the top of the notification screen (so you can install PowerToggles, which are selectable).
Thanks.
No, you cannot that easily.
Assuming you have already rooted your device, if you want some adventure, follow this guide to edit / add extra buttons toggles, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191593.
Else, if you are lazy as I am, here's what I have done to have 12 toggles (though, it does not include 2g/3g switcher) in my stock (rooted) ROM:
wifi
data
bluetooth
gps
sound
autorotation
block mode
battery save
drive mode
smart stay
syncro
airplane mode
To get this, follow these instructions:
1. download Dmod 6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165575)
2. Open (do not unzip) DMod6's ROM using WinRAR, browse to system/app folder then copy SettingUI.apk,
3. open up Root explorer / ES file manager, etc
4. BACKUP your current SystemUI.apk and .odex (or simply move them on your SDcard and rename them SystemUI.BKPapk and SystemUI.BKPodex.
5. delete SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (the original files, NOT the backups )
6. paste the copied SettingUi.apk in your system/app folder: I set permissions as -rwxrwxrwx , not sure if it would be better as -rw-r--r--, anyway, it works perfectly like this.
7. reboot, breakfast is ready
If you get some error popup messages between points 3 and 5, no worries, go on, follow the steps, reboot.
If this should not eventually work: sorry for you, just delete SystemUI.apk, restore the backups.
Have fun, hopefully I helped you out. :highfive:

Thanks for you answer.
The first option is a bit too adventures for me (no, I'm too lazy to find out how to decompile/compile. I'm on Win7 don't know if I need to install Linux for that).
Second option is mmmwwwhhhaaa, a bit in the right direction, but not exactly as I like it. Cause I'd like to change the toggles now and then. And still no Flashlight/Torch.
But your post made me find a third option: I found that detexr made a no-toggles SystemUi already here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191593&page=4
Just asked him for to post his SystemUi.
This is in place until TWRP is ready. You need root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation of systemui base, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so.
The purpose of this installer is to generate for you a custom module that you can flash in Magisk Manager. It will have all the mods that you have selected from the installer menu.
Custom clocks (date, etc) and internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors like the statusbar icons do.
The developer of Active edge gave me permission to use his base so that people would not have to make a choice between his and my mods. All credit for this goes to him. You must delete the active edge sense module and use one of my active edge modules. If it doesn't say active edge then it isn't active edge sense compatible. If there is an issue with edge sense after flashing, do not contact edge sense op with issues. He does not troubleshoot modified versions of his mod (and neither do I).
I'm also including my Pixel Launcher mod. Also a ADB Installer. You can change app drawer background-text color (separately for light mode and dark mode), remove weather from Launcher. Change the number of hot seat icons on home page (and size) as well as change the number of columns in the app drawer.
ADB Installer Instructions-Root is required
1. Flash one of the SystemUI Bases First. They provide the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work.
2. FLASH ALL THE MODS YOU WANT. ONCE YOU DONE WITH EVERYTHING, FLASH THE "COMPLETE INSTALLATION" Option. This will create a Magisk Manager flashable zip in a folder on your sdcard called ozop. Flash that to install your selection of mods.
Root required
Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Root Permissions)
3. ADB debugging Enabled
4. Flash one of the SystemUI Bases First. They provide the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Complete Installation" at the bottom. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.

Posted an ADB installer for December update.
I guess I am a little confused on how this mod works and I have a hard time risking not having a nonbootable phone. I read through some of the 3 xl thread and it seems like we need our phone connected for it to make a magisk module to which we then flash via magisk? This doesn't actually flash anything, correct?
Mainly, all I need is the back/home buttons swapped, which I have now but it seems the December update breaks that according to another thread.

For just three button mode? You can try flashing this if you like. Do you have active edge installed?
Swapping the two is easy though you need a way to get it on your phone which this should do.

Is this going to have to be updated during every monthly update? Wish Google would just make it so we could change the positions of the 3 button navigation.

Oh yeah, ok, makes sense. I was more saying that if I wanted to do this myself and not have you provide a magisk module each time, then I would use the mod installer and go through that way to create my own?
