I was just wondering if any themer out there could make a simple black bar for eclairOG v1.11(preferrably somewhat glossy) with a round battery icon (used in MAT-Theme, I believe its made by kspec?)
A lot of people have been asking for a black bar in the thread so I figured id try to get a themer's attention. Thank you!
To make things easier for the theme devs heres the link to the ROM
EclairOG:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620673
and this is the theme that contains the notification bar and battery icon, id like. Thanks!
MAT-Theme:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5139150#post5139150
heres a screenshot of it:
OOhhh yes...Desperatly waiting for this
i am too, I really want it. i have really basic knowledge about theming, ive been trying to get it done myself, but all i get are bootloops...lol
I really hope someone does this haha. or a full sense/hero theme for eclair

Id be happy enough with just the black bar. I managed to modify the framework-res.apk a lil bit but all it flashed was the battery, pulldown menu and the lil network icons, but the bar still comes up white even though i used the black images from the MAT theme, eclair is so much different than donut when it comes to theming, im not asking for much, just the black bar so hopefully someone will do it, because a ton of people are asking for it on the ROMs thread.

yaa i assume it will come sooner or later, hopefully sooner.
In my opinion, i bet bbuchacher will be the first to port one to his eclair ROM, since he did so with his Super D roms

I haven't tested it. I really don't feel like spending the 30 minutes or so to set my unused G1(s) up to test it out, so nandroid before trying it.
It has the pull down, notification bar icons, and status bar from the MAT theme (all credit to the creators of the images used).
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/simple_black_bar.zip
There are the images I used for it along with the steps I used for colorChangev3.jar based on what the images looked like.
You have to change statusbar_background.png to statusbar_background.9.png for the status bar to show up black.

you sir, are EPIC! thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I flashed it, only the text turns white, but i found out why. In 2.1 roms, the system icons are no longer located in drawable. theyve been moved to drawable-mdpi. so i think if i move your images to mdpi itll work. ah, i didnt realize that statusbar_background had to be converted to a 9.png. Thanks this has been a great learning experience for me. Ive been fumbling around with the files and images all day and all of last night trying to get it to work. I think i can fix it myself. when I do finish, ill post it here and credit you and the original themer for MAT. Thank you very very much!

[BlackBar Mod - eclairOG1.0-1.2]
I DO NOT take any credit for this.
The notification bar is from MAT Theme made by matata86
and was ported over to eclairOG by david1171
UPDATED!!!! - I found some files that were in the wrong folder, and 3 images that were missing. I moved and restored the proper files into the right places. GTalk no longer force closes, no slowdown, nothing. Everything should run fine now!
Screenshots:
Installation:
-Make sure you have no widgets on any of your home screens before flashing
-Boot into Recovery and flash normally as you would any other theme
-No Need to Wipe anything (If you really really wanna be safe, wipe dalvik, but you shouldnt need to)
DOWNLOAD HERE!!!
Oh, and i might make a couple more versions and use battery icons from other themes on xda. Thanks again david1171 for porting the black bar to eclairOG!
Nice work.
love that battery icon...
Just flashed it and running good so far
EDIT: Got the feeling, that it slows down the phone a bit...
Does your Beautiful weather widget has a transparent background?

no its just the normal semi transparent gradient black background, but because theres a black wallpaper behind it, it looks almost invisible.
@Che: are you sure its slowing down? My phone is still super fast, i havent noticed any slowdown at all...
for some reason when I install the notification bar I get a force close when I open a chat on gtalk

Oh well, I was going to PM you for it. I think I know how to make it transparent, but I think the application needs to be resigned after replacing PNGs coz it didn't install. I tried signing made easy, but couldn't figure out how to make update-script.

yeah it needs to be resigned. I use stericsons autosign.bat file.
Check out the zip file i attached and look in META-INF < com < google < android < update-script and open it with Wordpad and you should get an idea of those work. theyre very simple. im not at my comp right now so i cant explain much about them right now.
and to anyone having problems with the black bar, ill see if i can find anything wrong with it and fix it.
Ok, hearing about the possibility of burn in on the screen of my brand new phone broke my heart. But it doesn't have to be that way. I usually have either Beautiful Widgets or Weather Widgets on my home screen so I don't need to have another clock in the status bar. So I removed it. (The burn in that has been reported to be from the AM/PM.
OK, now for a couple pre-requisites:
Obviously you must be rooted.
Download Metamorph from the market.
Please have Clockwork recovery installed and a backup made.
You MUST BE deodexed first. You will boot loop or worse if you are not. Here is a link (credit Frostman89) to download a deodexed update.zip for your phone. Please, read this.
Download the file and put in on your sdcard in the AndroidThemes folder.
Open metamorph and select unzip new theme.
Click on services.jar when that is done extracting, and it will ask you to reboot when it's done.
Be very very patient, it will likely take a long time to reboot. This might also include seeing the lockscreen for a second and continuing back at the bootanimation once. (It did for me)
After that, enjoy your new clock!!! err, lack of clock!
As usual I am not responsible for what you do to your phone, all releases are tested but there are multiple configurations that can give you problems. You are applying this at your own risk, I may help you if you have problems but don't blame me if you brick your device. Thanks

Seriously, I knew how to do it so figured I'd give people the option. Not every one likes the same thing.
I wish there was just a way to remove the am/pm without having the twenty four hour clock, but as far as I know there isn't. Most of the time...except saturdays and early sunday morning I know what side if the day I'm on.

Would it be easy to remove the clock totally from a stock rom with root. I don't like Deodexed, but I hate having the clock up there. Good work though.

xUltimate is what I used in the past. It worked to deodex so may work to remove clock too..

Awesome! Thank you for this! And thank you for the detailed instructions, esp regarding having to be deodexed.
This is exactly what I was going to request for the exact reason.
One question... would I be able to apply the accurate battery back on top of this, or does another theme have to be made?
You can apply the battery mod and any themes as long as they don't replace the services.jar. I have both working right now.

Excellent! Reapplied battery mod now all is good in the world.
Is it hard to change the notification bar colors? I am running virusrom's airborne senseless, the blue theme. I like it a lot but I really want the blue parts to be pink. I have the Java and editing software to make changes to themes on my computer and I can access them on my pc and successfully turn them pink but I am guessing that the programming that runs the notification bar is a little more complicated than just say a theme you could run in pandahome or something. I don't want to just change the colors and then stupidly try to run it. Anyone have any info the care to share with me?
Heather
easiest way is to find icons you like and drag and drop them into system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
Some of the icons are now in com.htc.resources like the 4g icon, usb, and 4 or 6 bar signal. Changing the text color is harder though, so its best not to go to light if you still have white text on the actual bar color
Thanks! I'll check into that!
Do u mean pull the framework ,drag n drop using a computer ...or can u paste using root exolorer, cuz I'm having trouble w that

Use a pc, and you need a program like winrar or 7zip don't unzip just drop the image but make sure it is named EXACTLY as the image you wish to replace.

Don't take this offensively, but are you Mexican?
K I did exactly as described above (i believe)
I meant to mod the status bar background. I used 7zip then used 'paint' ( in Windows-i don't know where program came from honestly) to color image in.
First I dropped it in (replacing old) n then I modded using 'paint'
When I finished modding, it changed within the framework. So I closed everything n pushed it bak to: /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
N it worked but then my battery drain was worse (monitored by current widget)
So I wiped batt stats,cache,etc... rebooted.
Then tried pulling framework cuz I have more to do n now it won't 'pull.' Says "cannot create 'framework-res.apk'; no such file or directory
N my battery drain is still bout 60mA more
Wuts up?

I'm not sure, I've seen people say that if the images are not optimized then they may slow down performance a little. I haven't noticed a change in performance or battery life, not on my Droid X or my TB. One way to get optimized images if you don't know how is to find a theme (even if it's for a different phone) that has a bar like you like and pull it from that theme.
K well that sux. I can't even pull the image cuz I can't pull the framework again. Wtf
I did a restore but the only thing changed is the framework (bak to original)
Still can't pill fw..batt drain is bad

Open the MTZ file with winrar, extract the lockscreen via winrar again and just change the image over making sure that the name is the same. if you are looking to edit the images use photoshop or you will loose any transparency on the images please note you may need to compress the file .. if you are not sure how this is done follow these steps http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?8202-MIUI-Theme-How-To-1.7.8
Thread now updated ( 03/08/11 )with Round icons
Request will be taken and actioned ASAP
Thank you for the requests i will post the updates on Saturday
Very nice, I like the look of round lockscreen icons although imo I think they'd look better without the text labels beneath them. The megaupload link is down.
Plus, a little confused by the browser icon. It looks more suited as icon for compass!
Also, maybe a cosmetic bug. Quite often it shows a flat red line (no signal or is it low signal) while flat red line I had a 5 min phone call perfectly fine.

thank you for pointing out about the browser icon i will change that ASAP also megaupload link should now be working fine.
Also i will edit the file on friday evening and i will clear the writing underneath icons.
PS do you prefer the lockscreen with a round background or would you prefer no background (Transparent)
please see a few new updated lockscreens these are uploaded but i have not yet changed previews in the theme folder i will do this ASAP... Thank you all for your patience
The shortcut icons do look better with a round background. I've had the lockscreen before with transparent background and it just doesnt look right, as if the icons are out of place.

Hi
Another thing I've noticed is when I apply the theme, the lockscreen icons are different to the same app icons when screen unlocked.
Could you please rectify
i take it you mean the app within the ring when you drag this down.... this was because i had just transfered the same ring to all roms again can be changed it isnt a big job its just a matter of a little photoshop ill sort it soon
Ok thanks, appreciate all the effort.

I'm working on one for you, been awhile since I've done this though so no promises.
~~EDIT~~ I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct file to replace. As I said its been months and file names seem to have changed. I have one more idea and after that I'm tapped out.

Have you checked out the UOT Kitchen over in the Android themes section of there forums? You can do alot of different things. Search for UOT Kitchen. I would enter the link, but I'm on my phone.
Edit: Here is the link for the UOT Kitchen : Uot
Go to that link, click Kitchen, Pick the choices of what you would like modded, when you are finished, click the File Upload tab, where it says Select your rom from the kitchen list choose system files. Enter you framework and system.ui where it asks you to. When your done go to summary, and and choose Submit files to kitchen and go to files pickup area. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and your flashable zip will pop up. Put on your sd card and flash. It sounds complicated, but after you do it once or twice its really cool.
Hopefully that helps a little. If not, sorry I wasted your time. Have a good night.

Are you referring to the notification bar where the clock and battery icons are? If so, its the statusbar_background.png in the Systemui.apk
Sent from my super sleek NS4G, powered by TeamNekkid.
If your referring to the notifications in the statusbar you can theme it easily with ZipThemer
Create a folder structure like so
Mms>res>drawable-hdpi
In the drawable-hdpi folder put the icons you want. The names ( I thik) are stat_notify_sms and stat_notify_mms. A good size is 38x38 pixels
Then go back to the main Mms folder and create a ZipThemer xml with the path set to Mms.apk
Edit: I made a ZipThemer xml and file structure for you. Just extract the zip, goto Mms> res> drawable-hdpi and put those two images in there then apply with ZipThemer
Remember if you use ZipThemer for the first time, goto the apps settings and select update edify
Here's the zip I made

Hey everyone,
first off, my apologies for replying so late. I've been busy with some ****, but finally got around to flashing the Theme I made in the UOT Kitchen.
It's looking pretty damn good to me. I was able to make the notifications black, and changed the notification bar itself a bit as well. I'm very pleased with the look so far, but as was stated in this thread, the whole process was extremely easy. Maybe the hardest part was waiting for the damn thing to be ready for download...lol
I'd post some screenshots of the notification bar, but with ShootMe not working anymore and since the Screenshot system that's built into CM exits out of the notification bar whenever I want to use it, I won't be able to provide you guys with any for now.
If anyone wants to try out the theme, I've attempted to attach it to this post.
Thank you all for your help!
There is a slight delay from the time you tap screenshot to the time it actually takes it.
