[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.

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.

change menus from White on Black to Black on White?

Many of the default Android menus are white text on a black background. Not only do I find these visually unappealing, they are actually counter productive given how poorly dark themes read in sunlight.
Can these be changed to black text on a white background (or light background) instead? Does anyone have a theme they can share to accomplish this? Thank you.

OK, I guess this is not possible. It's a shame because I find Android's list based menus awfully plain and unaesthetic. White text on a black background with little visual art...it really looks like a plain vanilla terminal of yesteryear. While I love Android's openness, customization, and tweaker-friendly platform, it really needs a major overhaul in terms of looks and user friendliness. In short, the GUI needs some polish and consistency.

It would appear that Android has built-in "themes" for apps to use. If none is specified, then the dark or black theme is used. I wonder if there is a way to force apps to use the "light" theme even if specified otherwise. Perhaps a custom ROM could be created to always use the light theme.

If someone have a solution, please !!!
Thanks!

Recently this has been bugging me as well. I wish there was a very simple way to perhaps tweak the framework and systemui so that black on white can become a reality...

This is totally feasible. You would have to do a bunch of XML edits in your framework-res.apk and declare everything correctly.

AWESOME. There are some issues though, such as black text on dark backgrounds in the music app, which I'm guessing would take more than some xml editing to fix. But other than that it's GREAT!

I don't see that theme anymore in your signature. Would it be possible for you to share it? I'm still in search of a way to get Android to be a bit lighter (outside of going with MIUI), which I find far more visually appealing.

(Request) Galaxy Tab 10.1 Status Bar

Hi all,
I'm really not a fan of the stock Tron-Like status bar and am thinking about changing it. I have looked into it and can prob figure out how to do everything bar the clock. Would it be possible for someone to walk me through this, or even better provide a CWM flashable zip to change from Stock Xoom to Stock Galaxy Tab?
I'm currently running stock UK 3.1 as i haven't seen a need to Root up until now. I would prefer to stay on the UK 3.1 also, as although i have tried Hammerhead and Morray, i dislike the soundset for the lock-screen and keyboard. (mainly the KB is far too quiet!)
Many Thanks in Advance!
Dex

it wouldn't be hard to change but it would require a rom that has the images you want and we could only change images.

I'm searching for the images now! Its weird, all the images on the Web show the Galaxy 10.1 as having different icons, but every rom i download has Stock HC ones...

For some odd reason everyone likes the stock ones. I don't on my build of mantaray i have the icons and clock font changed. You'll probably have to find a stock rom to get images.

I'll keep looking, in the mean time, i have worked out how to change the font of the clock - do you have any clue on how to change the colour?
Thanks

Just outta curiosity how did u change the font for the clock? I have font changer but I just want to change the clock font

Hi Everyone,
I've been modding my install of Moray for the last couple days - changing images and backgrounds, trying to remove as much of the blue blur as I can. I've used some images from a tab 10.1 rom I downloaded. I've been pretty successful at this so far.
I've also changed the stock clock, but once I replace the font files, the clock on the lockscreen has a lot of extra space between it and the date, as well a very little bit of the left side is cut off. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
Snapshots are below of before & after.

I noticed the font not quite fitting on the lock screen too, so for now i've gone back to stock font for that.
I've used the Galaxy Tab icons and given them the same colour as the Wifi and Battery icons, then used the DroidSans font for the clock and used the same colour there too.
Here is a screen, its simple but far preferable.

How did you change the status bar font, and leave the lockscreen font as stock? Which of the three stock files did you modify?
Also, how did you change the colour of the clock in the status bar? I assumed this was possible with xml files, buti haven't adventured into this area yet.

The status bar clock colour can be changed in SystemUI.apk/res/layout-xlarge/status-bar-notification-area.xml, under the entry "holoclock"
I changed only the AndroidClock-Solid.ttf for the font, the other 2 fonts combine to make the lock screen and notification pop-up font.
All is explained really well on the XML editing here on method 2 in post 3.

Hope This Helps

[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 -.-

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

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.

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

A few improvements
Hi Gloxksss,
I appreciate your work very much. I consider your ICS theme to be one of the best for LG Optimus Black. However I would have a few suggestions for improvements:
- Some nicer icons in a notification bar - BT icon looks fuzzy, alarm icon should be gray instead of blue because it is now distinctive too much. I would use the same icon set like in ICS port theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463089).
- Transparent menu (triggered by Menu button) looks ugly in my opinion. I suggest to make it simply black like in a standard Android Gingerbread without modified icons.
- Conversation bubbles in Messages app are ugly too. Please either leave the original look or try to use a similar layout like this: http://fs02.androidpit.info/ass/x67/4620167-1325865472193.jpg
Thanks for your great work!
PJ

Due to your question concerning changes I would like put you attention for 3 issues.
Conversation bubbles in mms.apk supposed to be in two different colors I mean sender white and recipient let say gray or blue. You know what I mean?
That transparent menu should be solid black one for sure.
And the last one. What do you think to modified contacts.apk to get full screen caller 480/480 or ever better 480/800 with nice ICS theme?
