I have the Cyanogen custom rom loaded on my rooted Nexus One and I have been trying all day to morph/flash ways to change my notification bar, but no good.
Would appreciate from you fantastic people if you could lend me a hand or advice?
Thank you! (If this is wrong format in this forum I apologize greatly it is my first time posting here, but I've been following XDA for some time now)
there are many themes over in the themes forum that have meta morph files you can apply to change your status bar to black. which do you want? do you want the desire black bar? or a pure black bar? i can post my theme which i use, it has a mixture of pure black bar, circle battery icon, my preferred wifi icon, and the rest are desire icons, all mixed together to give me my favorite theme. currently using it on cyan 6 nightly from sunday.
EDIT: i added the file. i left the name exactly the same, but a few edits have been made so i hope the originator of that theme doesnt mind. you can search out that thread by the file name i uploaded.
the thing is when i attempt to morph a theme every thing changes EXCEPT the status bar. While it skins the framework.apk (mis-spelled) It takes extremely long and I eventually reboot my phone because it does not load. How long does it take for you to morph a complete skin? I was trying to morph the Carbon Notification bar and it takes very long.
Thanks btw for your reply really appreciated
yeah i am stuck at the same problem too.. it is taking too long for such a small file... even flashing roms are faster...
na dude i got a different version MM nd it morphed quickly but not right status bar always white
huh ? i didnt get u... cant u rephrase ur sentence pls .. are u saying u downloaded an older version of metamorph and it morphed quickly but that version of metamorph did'nt change ur status bar to the desired color ?
It works for me every time, very quickly. Do you have usb bugging enabled? You need that.
Like I said, that's the exact file I use every time, not sure what is wrong...
Are you sure a reboot doesn't make the white turn to black bar?
haha.. it works for me now.. i didnt enable USB debugging the last time .. awesome.. loving the new carbon fibre status bar.. wicked stuff !!
Ha nice, its always the little things

Yes, but the text would also be black. It has to be a custom ROM to modify the text too.
yes there's a stock FRF91 ROM thread over in the other forum which is theme ready so you could use any morph you want.

Good info.. I have Enom's all lined up to go on mine when I get my new MicroSDHC... Still using the stock 4G card, need more space.
Help please
So I've downloaded the Glass Status Bar morph, and everything works except my status bar is still white. I'm trying to run it on CM 6, froyo, N1. Any help would be appreciated as to why this might not be working.
Do I need to adjust any settings in CM?

Go into the CM settings under the notification bar settings and untick the custom bar and untick custom color. Reboot and then it should work.
Thanks for the tip kp and it seemed to work at first but when I tried to change back to my preferred wallpaper (when it rebooted after applying the morph it reverted to the standard Cyanogen live wallpaper) the status bar become black.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work. I unticked everything you said, reapplied the morph and it re-started and seemed to work although the wall paper had changed by to the standard CM live wallpaper. When I switched back to my normal wallpaper the notification bar was black. Same thing when I tried other wallpapers.
Any other ideas?

Are you running a CM6 nightly?
Im running the CM6 stable and everything works fine on my end. For the nightly, I heard that you need to stick a static wallpaper you do not want up and then go to the live wall paper to place "on top of" the wallpaper. There may be more to that but that was the jist of the conversation I read in passing.
EDIT: Here's the thread

No, I'm running the stable mod, not any of the nightly's. Tried what that thread suggested, still no luck. I'll keep trying on my end.
Just to go through the steps I did, I downloaded the file from XDA. Placed it on my N1. Used Metamorph to unzip it and install it rebooted and no-go.

UPDATED for the latest cog 2.3b3-its the last attachment(marked as 23b3) make sure you download the version that you are running or it will cause problems. Changed the circle batt in this version to the normal smooth green circle instead of the one shown. i think it matches a little better
Updated to work with Cog-2.3B-make sure you download the right one. The second attachment with 23b2 at the end is (obviously) for Cognition 2.3B2
The first attachment with no version at the end of the file name is for those who havent upgraded and are still on the older cog B9.
Im using a custom boot animation that matches this theme pretty well. It is the first one in this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193
Just got done making this theme for the captivate. This is a pretty full theme, also includes evo black bar, circle batt, and a nice notification pull down.
Its compatible with any cognition with the extended power options but the most recent 9.1.3 was the framework that was modified.
This took forever to finally finish.
Just put this on your internal SD and flash with clockwork. Will not wipe anything.
*Just fixed the icons in the power menu(airplane & silent)*
credit to DG for the rom this goes to
credit to fightspit for the circle battery
credit goes to faster3200 for a lot of the original images.
Looks nice! I'd love to try it out but I'm firmly of the belief that if it ain't broke don't fix it. I won't be messing with my phone again til something serious happens.
looks good. gonna backup and test it out
Love this man, get it working for DocRambone's v7 JPO rom too if it's possible
I like the looks of this better then any other theme so far.
Nicely done just did it to try it out worked perfectly

However, the icons on my lower bar didn't change. How do I get them to look like yours? e.g. mail, browser, apps...

did you try rebooting or anything. its really just modifying the images in framework file, all the other files(even the xml's) in the framework folder are exactly the same.
the only reason i say that is because i have 2 captivates, and every once in a while its like there stuck. sometimes its when going from wifi to 3g and sometimes its just
random and cycling airplane mode will fix it if not then a reboot does.
hey guys this is my very first time posting on this forum i have a captivate rooted and running cog 9.1.3 and just tried your theme and everything started to force close on me any idea what might have went wrong, thanks

never mind reinstalled and all is well good work.
Love the theme, one little problem, I can't see the clock, it's the same black as the status bar? Any thoughts? Should I just try reflashing?

Flashed a different theme then came back to this one, everything works great now.
works with the newest v2.3b cognition. no problems so far.
On reboot after install, phone seems to be stuck on the cognition splash screen, vibrating like something is force closing every 5 seconds or so. Any ideas? I am on cog 2.3b.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to know if you guys would mind sharing your settings on ADW? I just got my Gtab a few days ago and I'm running Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1, love the rom. Thanks ahead of time
Settings? Like visual preferences or functional stuff?

Both I would say...
Well I'm a fan of the minimal home screen. I only have one, and it has a few icons, a search bar, and the GV widget. So, I chose to go with only one icon on the dock bar and that is just for the app drawer. I switch back and forth between screen transition effects, but right now I'm using effect number 6: rolling slide. My app tray is semi-transparent and I have my desktop bounce set to 49. Fancy backgrounds are enabled and I've chosen a semi-transparent gray. Oh, and before I changed all of that stuff, I installed the ADW Honeycomb theme and I use theme icons.
Now that I think about it, there is a lot to customize with ADW. I have a few more changes but I can't think of them off the top o' my noggin.

I have a similar settings but I use 3 icon dock and I have it set to random screen effects. What do you have your Desktop Columns/Desktop Rows size set to?
Desktop layout is eight columns, seven rows. And I turned off the horrible indicators and the trash can. But in my drawer I have six by six in landscape and four by ten in portrait. What about you?

I had mines on default which I didn't like at all, so I'm trying your setting... Thanks
You're welcome. ADW EX is great and super versatile. Happy customizing!
I have my settings set based on performance. Not many animations going on and things like swipe speed are set very low. I'm on my phone right now but maybe I can upload my personal setting (not homescreen layout though --that wont do u much good) . I definitely have spent a lot of time customizing adw ex.
Hopefully ill remember to upload the settings XML tomorrow, I guess it can't hurt for u to try that way.

That would be great, thanks either way...
These settings are a bit outdated from what I'm running right now. But, my GTab just went haywire on me (forcecloses everywhere, can't run a thing -- good excuse to switch to the Vegan 7 experimental, though).
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to change the extension to XML - I cannot upload XML files. It should read "adw_ex_settings.xml"
Just drop this in the root of your GTab and "Restore settings" in ADW. I'd suggest copying your current settings to another folder in case you don't like mine.
Thank a lot man, side question... Do any of you guys had a issue with no audio on Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 using Clemsyn's latest kernel? I ask on the rom thread but haven't gotten a response.
I've had an audio problem with. VEGAN 5 but haven't tried another rom recently enough to tell if its the rom or my hardware.
my audio cuts out a couple of minutes into YouTube videos, or any other media for that matter. Do u get no sound at all or does yours cut out like mine?
I just flashed vegan 7 so ill be able to tell if its something to do with my model if my sound problem persists

It would work than just cut out and I have no way of getting it back besides re-flashing the ROM again, I have even tired different kernels and no luck.
Thats a lot worse than I have it. I'm able to just reboot and I can get my sound back, albeit only for a little while. Ill let you know how vegan 7 treats my speakers.

I plug in a headphone worked but I have to keep doing it as my sound keeps going out :-(, sucks but will have to do for now..
I choose other wallpaper but it seems wallpaper being zoom in and upper notification block won't be covered by wallpaper. anybody knows how to adjust wallpaper fit the screen?
If you have downloaded the latest ADW launcher EX (1.3) does it take up the whole screen or do you have unusable space in the top and bottom (in portrait) or on both sides (in landscape) ? Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I updated from 1.2.2 and it kept my theme and layout, except now i have these spaces that I cant use. Its about the size of 1 row in portrait at the top and bottom(above the dockbar), or 1 column on both sides in landscape.
Probably a long shot, but have you tried Compatibility Mode Off in Spare Parts?
Fix is out. V 1.3.1
Works a treat. :-D

Omg, so that's what it is. I've been having a beotch of a time when sometimes icons or widgets along the top or bottom just don't respond to taps, I just thought the touch sensor'd gone bunk. Updating right the hell now.
ITS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT FOR ME
Hmmmm, fixed it up a treat on this side. I have a GSM tab running overcome 1.6.x with latest oc'd kernel. What is the run down with your setup? Try cache wipe maybe and restart ADW from within its menu
If you have backed up settings maybe a restore of them?
My order went -> update to 1.3 -> restore via titanium to 1.2x -> upgrade to 1.3.1 -> rebooted tab but I'm sure it was already right after the install..
Good luck

Err, that looks fine to me... Theres always been a bit of space at the top and bottom. Before the update it was about 2/3cm of space that you couldnt use. Your screenshot looks absolutely fine.

Last night i had to do a full reflash of the Overcome rom and off course a new ADW install.
See the screenshot now my wallpaper goes all the way to the bottom.
So my prob is solved.
Are you guys adjusting your usable space somehow? I have very little working room in ADW, running latest version. Thank you in advance!

Did the late nightlies remove text shadowing on home screens? I had changed my font before, but it doesn't seem like it's my choice of font, I've tried many. With a white background, the text for app icons is white too. Here's a before-and-after comparison.
http://i.imgur.com/xhxGQ.png
http://i.imgur.com/F2HKu.png
The fonts are different because of the reflash, I'm trying to find which font I was using before. I don't think I've ever had this problem before, though. I've had light backgrounds before with the default font.
EDIT: found the font, didn't make a difference.
Using Apex Launcher on the latest nightly as of 5/19
Wondering the same thing myself. It looks crappy without the shadow.
Ah, at least I know now that it isn't just me.
I don't understand why they had to remove that...

Well, this sucks. I had a great wallpaper that I was going to put in rotation and the backdrop was white.
