[WIP] White Notification Bar

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.
I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR.

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.

you forgot me the guy who was trying to finish it, and posted it for all!:d

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.

A lot of this stuff is xml hex editing from what I've read. There's a ton of info in the cdma heroc forums. It's stickied there. Good info check it out.

Yes, you could do any color.
Also, I've made quite the progress, this is where I am now. All I have left is the "Clear" button.

Awesome! Can we get an upload? And please tell me how you got the clock. Was it something in the services.jar/involve the odex file included or something more simple?

The last piece has now been figured out.
No more black "Clear" button.

[Theme][1.1][EB01] Grape Fizz! - (6 Lock beta)

A random theme I was working on, More so for the ladies but to eaches own..
No confirmed name. Grape fizz was the misses suggestion. I re-worked the NeonGT port I did, basically an inverted NeonGT. There may be things I am missing or have not done yet.
I just want to put it out there and see if there is an interest for this and will try to update according to feedback.
For now it was meant to try and be minimally invasive, as to not break any other mods you may currently have.
As of now only tested on EB01!
Eb01 Grape fizz! 6 Lockscreen's (beta)- 03/19/2011
This is a patch that can be applied over 1.1 and will give you sbrissen's and/or TSM's latest 6 lock mod themed accordingly. This also includes the aosp music controls as well.
Since sbrissen is calling it beta, a beta it will be..
Also resolved several mentioned issues along with some non-mentioned issues.
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!
EB01 Grape fizz! 5 Lock - 1.1 - 03/06/2011
added JobManager.apk
reworked the font color scheme
remapped status bar pulldown (Notifications! banner is the clear button now)
removed transparency on Contacts.apk (remains in dialer)
Optional:
adrynalyne's remapped google voice dialer - http://bit.ly/dGXwpp
Popup menu rework - Patch-01 - http://bit.ly/gdqKF0 - 03/18/2011
EB01 Grape fizz! 5 Lock - 1.0 - 03/01/2011
Added Contacts.apk
cleaned up a bunch of images
more font color adjustments in the main framework
preview images below updated as well
This contains the full theme!
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!
Known Bugs:
-----------
pulldown icon text turns white when activated
Themed files include:
app
---
Contacts.apk
DialerTabActivity.apk
DownloadProvider.apk
JobManager.apk
MediaProvider.apk
Settings.apk
framework
---------
android.policy.jar
services.jar
twframework.jar
framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
Credits/Thanks:
Jumba, re-worked his images
adrynalyne, for the stock roms and gv dialer
sbrissen, for the 5 lock screens, hide clock & am/pm mods
everyone else that makes it possible for us to even theme are phones
Beta Versions!
Grape Fizz 5 Lock - beta.03 - 02/28/2011
Beta 03 now contains sbrissen's 5 lock screen and clock mods! The list of files themed has been updated.
This should address the majority of the white text issues as well as the clock in the status bar. It is a rather system wide change though so it may change other things.
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!
Grape Fizz - beta .01 - 02/27/2011
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!

Very nice looking. There is a themed purple market floating around somewhere in the Droid X section. That would probably be a good addition.

Not a fan of purple, but a slick looking theme nonetheless

im sure there are some pink/purple fans out there that will appreciate this ...good work as always

Keep up the good work!

I'm not a purple guy myself (got your neon port on my phone this week) but my mom likes it. Nice work.

Justin beiber would be all over this.

I love it. Thank you~ It's so hard to find a girly theme. Haha. This one is the best one I've found so far! Just a couple requests if you don't mind: 1. The browser address bar: It's hard to see the address because it's black font on black background unless we select it. I was wondering if you can just change it to white background with dark purple font color? 2. The dial pad: when you punch in numbers, the numbers come out white. I was wondering if you can change it to the same color as the numbers on the dial pad or even the pink color that comes out with the contacts when you press the numbers?
Actually, playing around with my phone a bit more, I found that there are a lot of white fonts on white background (google navigation, quick search as mentioned) Is it possible to change all those white fonts?
Everything else seems to be great. Thank you once again!

Thanks for pointing those out. I just went to town and changed so many things on a wim. Now I gotta back trace and tidy up. Just wanted to make sure there was enough of a market so to say to go much farther.
I definitely appreciate the feedback, I don't run this so it helps. I'm fine with your suggestions but option 2 was purple at one point and with transparency and a similar color background, it was slightly hard to read. But hey, I have no problem changing it. Thank you!

Also too, I have another version done with sbrissen's 5lock and hide clock options and a few more apk's as well. I will get it upped and linked soon.

Thank you!

I updated the OP to beta 03. It now contains sbrissen's work with the clock and lock screens. So a few more apk's getting purpilized...

Actually, the address bar turns black with back font after the page loads. Put this theme on my mom's fascinate last night. She loves it too Thanks again!

Well msjudyfoo, the background should be white with black text. I could be confused with something I haven't released yet though.
Anyhow, I updated the OP and just went to version 1.0 so hopefully all is well.
The purple font increased, but I did not address the browser bar as of yet. Thanks again!

Really hope you do an inverted version.

To clear the air, some of you may remember me mentioning a fire n ice theme. Well, this phone brought on a whole lot of new hobbies for me so I finally got to rebuild my pc. Well improper backup just shredded a bunch of my files.
So I'm kinda have to start new with a bunch of things. lessen learned!

But it would be purple! lol, it looks awesome man, im gonna have to flash it later.

[THEME] Ice Cream Sandwich for VanillaEclair (29/2/12)

Yeah, noticed that as well That is easy to fix ;-) I can try to fix as many of these "easy issues" tonight ;-) then I'll return to the hard stuff afterwards
Edit: So it's vibrate, silent, better alarm icon... have you got any more?
Edit2: Theme updated
Yey, smali/ baksmali is working now I only need that stupid color code in that stupid format -.-
sent with love from me to you

Theme updated, new screenies any minute
Edit: sry, i uploaded a wrong version. Please download the new if you downloaded

But I wan't to use 140 Now you made me cry I am almost in the mood to swit. Ok I am back on VE6. Maybe gonna release a new version Man I love this android crap XD

Ok, i can try (note: TRY) to make a version for 140 dpi. Lol never done this before. Or is there someone here with photoshop experience who could've done it for me? What I need to do is to make a png larger, then crop it back to the same size. That way the stripes in the png will be larger... It is the background behind the icons in pulldown bar.... and it works in 140 dpi, it's just that it looks way better in 160 in my opinion...

Theme updated, added activity_title_bar and some tiny fixes
And for @Lirasina, here you can compare 140 and 160
Edit: oh and I've fixed the unreadable text issue partly :-D and I think I've figured out the rest, hopefully it will be bugfree tomorrow :-D
Edit2: Yeah, it works everything should be readable now Now onto the settings

Any chance this theme can be made for CM7 ROM?
sonnysekhon made one for CM7 but only for HDPI devices which our Hero is unfortunately not.

Check out acheps theme link in the thanks section in op
sent with love from me to you

I got back to VE6.2 just because of this theme. I was using Achep's theme on a GB rom mostly because of the cool ICS look but the lightness of VE with ICS make me turn back
I added a couple of changes on the framework to make the lockscreen look more like ICS, It's just the lockscreen and the icons when you get calls. Here is a zip with the files i pushed into the framework and the customized theme ready to flash, just if someone likes it or you decide to add it to the full theme
Cool, I just found i can't upload nor post links to anywhere, i send you a PM. Anyways here is a screen:
Cool2, i can't post any screens either
By the way, there is a way you can add the old Eclair icons for USB-plug, gmail notifications and so on to be like ICS? that would make the port perfect
And one more thing and I stop biching XD, the blue color of the clock seems to be too bright, it will be more like ICS to have it a little darker.
That's all thanks

Cool! The statusbar icons will be fixed ;-) but the clock isn't part of the theme. Download from market, named ics clock or something
I haven't tested your build, and I don't have till after the weekend. I'm getting up 6 am tomorrow to reach a train. I'm going to Oslo for the cupfinal with my football theme ;-) I won't get home before 7 am at Monday, and then It's strait to school lol :-D
Anyway, here's 7tostas build. I haven't tested it, read his description above ;-) will probably include it in next release, spares me some work

I tested the build and it works as intended Thanks again

Hi, this theme is great and I honestly do love it, really does give the ics feel to the phone.. Although one problem, the scroll bar is still green lol. Hope you can change the colour of this

MIUI V4 Source Theme Values XML - V4 Dark Themes

In an attempt to push forward and encourage Themers from far and wide to develop MIUI Themes for V4.0 MIUI, I have provided the basic XMLS which are used in MIUI V4 Black Android. These are pretty much stripped and defaulted to two tone colours which would be very easy for users to follow, edit and create MIUI V4 Themes, as I class these theme_values as the starting point and base for Dark MIUI V4 Themes.
Over the past few weeks MIUI Android and Xiaomi have been working tightly to address various MIUI V4 Theme issues, there are few minor issues outstanding but most importantly the main Bugs are just about obsolete.
Thanks to the close communication between MIUI Android Team and Xiaomi Team.

Your welcome.

I have a question you may be able to help me with since you know about the theme structures. I swapped some status bar files from a gb theme I like to V4 for my phone(GNex) and the phone signal icons and data icons are kinda on top of each other.
Is there somewhere in the xml files maybe that determines the placement of those since on ics the data icon is right up on the phone signal.
Thanks if you can help me

Hi,
This is not XML related, so your in luck.
What you need to do is compare the GB Pngs against the ICS Pngs from both miuisystemui > drawable-hdpi folders.
You will see some slight differences in dimensions of the pngs, so you may have to adjust the image or canvas size to get it to look just right. Also you could look at the image itsefl and reposition it slightly.
Also, check that the filenames are correct. ICS has slight different filenames compared to GB.
Regards

Thanks a lot man. I will check sizes and all that stuff

I'm new to this theming thing so bear with me, but if I wanted to change the color of the text that appears on status bar notifications which value(s) would I have to edit. Because everytime I mix and match themes I always end up with black text on a black backgroud or vice versa

This is the one thing that's driving me nuts about MIUI v4. In previous versions the statusbar icons displayed according to the image dimensions. Now it resizes the icons in seemingly random ways. Icons on the left are shown at 27x27, some on the right are at 38x38, and others seem to be displaying at 35x35. I want the old behaviour back, i.e 25.0dip across the board.
Well, thanks for the xmls, helped me solve an issue.

Hey,
Just wanted to say a BIG thanx for all the hard work! Loving your Black Android theme...
I've started it as my base... and I'm running into two font color problems I was hoping you could help me out with...
When downloading anything... the font is black in the drop down...
And second, the font is black with pop-up notifications...
If you could let me know which values these are... I would greatly appreciate it!

That's what it was. They were 38x38 centered so I took them to 25x25 and moved them to the upper left corner and now they are on the upper side of my signal bars. Thank you

Let me get this straight....
The files are basically a theme minus all associated images?
I am not a themed but I would love to learn so I can help get more themes usable on v4. I'm able to get the docks and status bars I want to work but that's about all I have messed with.

Best option is to grab the xmls from BAT (black Android theme) as its mainly two tone colors for ease. Im not sure if your referring to the status bar of the notification bar. There are xmls in the miuisystemui that might be what you are looking for.

Again same applies to what i mentioned to the above user. Grab the xmls from BAT as a start - thing with MIUI V4 is that there is ALOT of interweaving with colors - you change one part and it affects 3 other things which may mean change pngs, which might not appeal.
The pop up notifications you refer too, im unsure - but if you mean the tiny box at the bottom of the screen then that image can be edited - look for Toast.png in framework and miui framework, hdpi and xhdpi folders.

ok note :
Samsung Galaxy S II users, there is a known issue for this device, when applying themes - does not apply correctly or permanently. I have mentioned this to the Xiaomi Theme Team and they are working on it.
Seems to affect Samsung devices so they are gonna check out the rest.
Im on the case dont worry.

Question... Everytime I edit the description.xml file... My theme stops working... It isn't recognized in the theme app... Or only part of the theme works... Suggestions?

have a look at the description file in black android.
make sure your not changing the uiversion or post your description here so i can take a look.

Pele, can you confirm something for me regarding themes not being applied properly in ICS...
On my SGS...
1. Fonts don't apply
2. Certain theme_values.xml's don't seem to be applied. In my experience this is the case with MMS and Contacts... e.g. changing font colours or margins doesn't make a difference. This problem may affect other apk's too.
3. Any change to status_bar_icon_size in fw-res and systemui doesn't make a difference. The values appear to be unchangeable.
4. The secondary text colour in the notification pulldown can't be changed. Having investigated the various xmls, it appears to be hard-coded to a light orange colour.
I was wondering if you can confirm whether these issues also affect the SGS2, and whether some or all of these are Samsung-specific problems.
MIUIv4 still has a long way to go imo before it's as theme-friendly as GB.

- With this file... the theme is recognized, but the status bar doesn't change... and it doesn't recognize some of the preview png's...

Hi Jumba,
ok
1. Currently discussing this with Xiaomi and finding ways and solutions around this ( GB and ICS have different Font systems )
2. Could you explain a bit more in detail on this, afaik MMS is fully editable
3. You should be able to change these but give me an example and if you are working with HDPI/XHDPI or both.
4. discussing this at the moment - though making good progress with some findings - hoping to have a automated way around this, at the moment its a manual method.
Yes Samsung devices and now possibly others are affected, though we have a solution, just seeing if it can be automated.
My aim is to get V4 Theme-Dev 110% editable - every visual UI editable.

the preview pngs erm.... i dont know the V4 names off by heart but if you download a chinese V4 theme it should have the correct names for each preview image. also make sure your previews are in reasonable size e.g. 400x800 or xhdpi size.

[THEME] [APPS] [IZS] Black&White IZS - Updated for IZSv2 - (30/08/2013)

Black&White IZS Theme
Whats been modded:
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
lge-res.apk
LGSettings3_1.apk
LGContacts3.apk
LGBrowser.apk
Screenshots:
Uploading
Recommended Settings:
Under Settings/Screen ---> Change font to HYSerif. If you have difficulties to read the texts, increase the font size to "Large".
Under Power Saving Options ---> I recommend to enable show the remaining battery percentage (the one that shows the number aside the icon) and disable the battery level label on top of the icon. However, you can now choose the second option too since I modified the color to be black (over white icon).
Downloads:
Main: http://d-h.st/geR
Mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/?lih0a9h1tmcnb7b
Optional Flashables:
Brightness Slider: http://d-h.st/tzr

AOSP LockScreen: http://d-h.st/X6f
And if you want to get back your LG stuff...

Notes:
- If you cant see the status bar (its full black without icons).
Plug your phone to the pc and the statusbar will appear.
- If you want to change the background.
1.- Download my flashable zip.
2.- Open it and extract "lge-res.apk" from "framework" folder.
3.- Open "lge-res.apk" with winrar and extract "mybackground.png" located at "/lge-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/".
4.- Modify the png file the way you want (maintain the 480x800 size).
5.- Put the modified png (must be named "mybackground.png") inside "lge-res.apk" (drag and drop to "/lge-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/", where it was)
6.- Put "lge-res.apk" inside the flashable zip (drag and drop to "framework" folder, back where it was).

Thanx to HEUXXX !!!!!

there's no way to revert all if i don't like it?
anyway, thanks for your great job!

The theme is great! But I've found a little bug. When I enter the PIN number, but "*" are white, can you make the background black?
Suggestions:
In the wifi menu (just for an example), the buttons in the bottom (to search wifi) are hard to read;
Colorful icons;
When selecting a menu, the selection bar before entering the menu is to bright;
The little arrows in the network bar (when mobile data is active), they are hard to read, it should be another color

By the way, I know the theme is "black&white", but it would be nice to have one with some color, some life. Just like samsung galaxy, or something... Now I think it is to0 plain...

Launcher
which launcher were you using when you took the screenshots?
And which is that power widget you're using?
And thanks, the theme looks very nice!

This looks so cool and when you have the time,maybe you might look into CM10/10.1 and create a similar theme?

Can you fix the text color in url textbox in web browser? Now it is dark grey on black background. Thanks!

Yeh I noticed that too =)
Will try to fix it asap. And now that I have to look into the browser, I may theme it too. =)
Edit: by the way, I already fixed the signal arrows on top of wifi/signal icons. Now its holo blue with black shadow.
And also fixed the color of the borderless bottom buttons in some setting screens (like WiFi and Sync) to a darker color. Now the text is completly readable.
Edit2: now you can also select the battery percentage to be on top of the icon. I changed the percentage to be black instead of white so its readable.
Edit3: fixed black on black text on LGBrowser URL box.

New version up.
Solved most of the bugs above mentioned.
Redesigned contact default pictures.
Hope you like the new settings/dialer background. I think its dark enough to read everything. However if someone feels its too much annoying, dont hesitate to say it. I might change the background in the coming days.

Another suggestions
1 - The background should be more subtle. In the definitions, with the letters, some parts are a little hard to read...
2 - The active options (that have a "V"), the background is black and the "V" is blue, like the default. But in comparison to the options that aren't active, with the white background, it stands out more the non active option than the active options. I think the background should be switched.
3 - In the notifications bar, when in notifications, the background in the left square (that have the icon), are too bright, the background should be more black, if not really black.
4 - When selection of a menu, right before entering the menu, the color of the selection is a little too bright.
5 - Colorful icons
A last suggestion, at least for me, it would be nice to have a theme Black&Blue. It gave more life to the phone.
Overall, that is a great work!

Thanks for new version
Arrows on wifi and signal indicators are ok, percentage on battery indicator too.. But I don't like the background of dialer, settings menu etc., maybe only black color is better..
But thanks for your great work!

Ill make colorful themes in a future. But I just want to make this to my taste, since Im not one of those persons who like colorful UI's. Once I get this theme done, I'll start the colors.

Im sorry but I'm making this theme to my own taste.
You'll have to wait for other themes to see if they fit your taste better =)
Edit: aaand the text box on pin lock screen... its not much of an issue. I mean, Ill eventually fix it, but its just 4 "*"characters what you miss.

Great! Can't wait for more...

I fixed the PIN lock screen issue. It was pretty easy to find the value which stands for the text color.
But, before I upload the last version with the fixes. I also wanted to change the settings header (top grey bar with the settings default icon and "Settings" text) but wtf I keep looking for it and I dont seem to find it. Now Im lost, not sure if its gonna be an xml hex color code, or a small png somewhere under the drawables.
If someone has any idea about where could it be, I'd appretiate the help =)

And this...
