Can I move the status bar drawables directly into the roms framework?
Replace the images like when mixing themes?

Works
Works flawlessly man this is smokin fast ... Faster than my n1 with froyo so i'm happy... and the only problem is the text is not white. how to get the text white? is this rom not deodexed so u can change text color?
Edit:
I just went into the theme that i wanted to put into my froyo rom, navigate to framework > res > drawable-hdpi > dump that whole directory into your roms framework > res > drawable-hdpi
Then, save the new archive, put it back on your SD card n flash. Enjoy!
For now, if we cant get the white text working, you can have the rest of your theme now(in case your like me and cant stand how vanilla aosp looks)... Enjoy!

are you on JT's aosp?

yeah. i'm trying to figure out how to get the text white now
Edit: don't know if rom is deodexed, but if not i'm going to have to deodex it before i can get the text white. someone who knows if it is or not plz let me know so i know what to do next.

Not all the image.names.are.going to.be the.same between aosp and touchwiz....in fact 1/4 or more are.different and you have to recombine frameworks

Jt always deodexes his roms...,changing text color is an xml edit and requires decompiling the.framework making the proper.edits and recompiling

nitsuj17 LOL tell him

Can I do it? Do I need to get smali do'it the xml edits. can't take the vanilla look anymore. And I'm NOT going back to eclair since the three things I don't use are broken only

I did what the instructions say and the only problem is the black text and I want to change font. How should we go about this next (since someone is probably going to try it when I get it right ando post my example screen.
Transparent as this thread oid supposed to be why can't you help nitsu u know noone going to help me but if someone else started this they would.
So what next is recompiling after the color edits correct? How to do this?

You'd have more success just grabbing a 2.2 framework from the nexus or whatever phone with aosp froyo then using that framework.
My memory is failing me but the color of text is controlled by either services.jar or framework.jar.

you have to decompile the framework...edit the xml files....recompile correctly either with apktool or apkmanager
you have to backsmali the service.jar...make your smali edits....then smali to compile it all in a terminal

Then you have white text.

You need to edit the alpha channel of the status_bar_background.png or status_bar_background.9.png located in the system/framework/twframework-res.apk
You can either decompile the apk or use a zip program like 7zip or winrar to look inside the apk. The status_bar_background image is located in the res/drawable-hdpi or res/drawable-hdpi-v4 folder in the apk.
The alpha channel is the transparent channel... if you don't know how to edit an alpha channel, you'll have to do a search on google or something to learn how to do that with a graphics editing program like GIMP or Photoshop.
Before you mess with this stuff, make a nandroid backup or a flashable zip with your current unmodified twframework-res.apk so if you mess up and the phone boot loops you can still restore your phone to the state it was before you modified it.

Changing status bar to classic version?

So I want to change my statusbar to the classic style. (The white version from 2.2 and back) So I was wondering if there is a way to do this. I have a rooted samsung exhibit 2 4g running Rebel Rom 2.1. Any help appreciated

Ok.

yes there is. first grab the statusbar.apk from somewhere (anywhere). then replace the current statusbar.apk with the new one. reboot after. note that it may not work depending on screen size. you may status-brick your phone. (if you know what i mean)
Sent From The Phone Of Gamers

I'm a little new to this. So where in root explorer would that apk be? And where would I find this apk and would it automatically change to the classic version after I replace the old one?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using XDA

goto /system/apps (different on nearly every phone) and then replace. the status bar will be missing at first so do a reboot. if you cant find the statusbar.apk file then there is an explorer out there (root) that allows you to search for it. im not sure if root ex has it but try anyway. remember to find one designed for your device. (or one which screen size matches) or you could status-brick your phone. as always something could go wrong if you play about with it so i take no responsibility and assure you if you follow all instructions...both instructions (XD) correctly then you should have what you want.

Ok got that so now my only question is where would I find the classic status bar apk and this guide on xda on how to do it

More likely in systemui.apk, located in /system/app...

Well there aren't any roms with that version for my phone. So what would be my next option?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using XDA

There's a Retro Android theme for CM7 somewhere. That'll have all the icons to make then hopefully you/someone can help create the theme.

Thank you

I have that apk. So what your saying is that I need to find someone who can use this apk to make a status bar apk out of it? Could I replace the current status bar apk with the Retro Droid apk?

Yes. Just find the right file.

With the icons and all? If successful please let me have it lol. Btw I'm replacing SystemUI.apk
Sent from my SGH-T679 using XDA

system ui is only icons and out line. example: hold power to get a menu. the icons will be different and maybe the outline a different colour. thats it. the icons also involve check boxes and things. not settings though.
Sent From The Phone Of Gamers

OK, well the forum for rebel rom 2.1 said that systemui.apk is the status bar.apk for that rom. So if I delete systemui.apk and replace it with retrodroid.apk. will I get my desired goal?

Why not just try UOT Kitchen?

Transparent Notification Tray in Zeus.

I was wondering how I could make the notifications tray transparent in the Zeus rom. I dont want to change anything else in the rom. Is there a file I could modify, or a flashable zip I could flash?

you can do it by yourself.
For first start you can read this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225432
For make notification area background to transparent, the file that you need to modify is status_bar_background.png in SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
(Open SystemUI.apk using winrar)
You can modify that status_bar_background.png to transparent using image editor (photoshop, etc) or use other png file that already transparent. For example, you can take status_bar_background.png from LG UI 3 Theme, drag and drop it to your SystemUI.apk like in Huexxx tutorial, then push it to /system/app

I copied my SystemUI.apk to the root of my sd using Root Explorer. I then connected to my pc. Then I replaced the status_bar_background.png with the one in the SystemUI.apk from the LG UI 3 theme. I then moved the SystemUI.apk back to my /system/app/ folder an rebooted. All that did was make my whole status bar dissapear and unusable. Where did I go wrong?

[EMOTICONS] to replace on any rom you want, plus lockscreen button

Hi everyone!
The thing is, I hate the stock android emoticons, so I made these myself which I think they look nice.
Two packs, one pack they have 36x36 pixels res, the other one 46x46, why? If you use the normal screen 240dpi, then use the 36x36 emoticons, if you use for example SlimBean rom at its default 182dpi, use the 46x46 pack, otherwise they will look too small.
Bellow you can see how they look using the 46x46 at 182dpi, using SlimBean rom.
I also made a lock screen unlock button with neXus X shape
I hope you like it.
ATTENTION: this aren't installation zip's, you must unpack and replace the png files in Mms.apk, Framework.apk and Talk.apk in any rom zip file and gapps, I use winrar to do this, I believe 7zip does the same. This is intended for rom developers and who likes to change things their own way, like I do

Keep getting installation aborted? Do I just put it on sd card and flash?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

Pretty sure the emoticons are part of the framework. This zip won't install them. You would need to add them into the framework yourself.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Yes, this zip's won't install anything, they are supposed to be unpacked and replace the correspondent ones in Mms.apk, Framework.apk and also Talk.apk inside of any gaaps package, if you want. I use winrar to do this, to customize rom graphics on my own way.
