Im just looking for a similiar program to note ++, that i can run on android. Just want to make some boot animations and it seems like the text editor i have is corrupting the desc.txt. When i used a premade bootanimation.zip and just threw in my animation it works but i cant edit the times it loops or the screen size.
Thanks!

Is there an easy way to edit icons/colors in notification bar? Looking through themes and not really wanting all the changes included....just wanna change the bar

basically you will deal with the images in 2 files:
\system\framework\framework-res.apk
\system\framework\twframework-res.apk
Unzip the files and you will find corresponding images, replace what you want, then overwrite the existing one.
Make sure you backup your existing one just in case you get a boot loop.
The status bar is a difficult process to change. It took me a month to find out how to change every detail of it. The whole thing is not in one location.
You'll also need the services.jar file that is in with the framework-res.apk and twframework.res.
Check this post
Code:

It throws light into basics like how to change battery icons. Should be good enough to get started.
Thx guys

Does anyone have a link for an app called CCN? or possibly an explanation on how to change your carrier name to a custom logo?

You want to change the text into a .png ? & what rom are you running ?
Yeah I'd like to change the text to a PNG file yes. I've seen raadius and others do it before but they are graphic designers so.

Nono, its not the carrier name, its an app which has an icon constantly in the status bar. Take Advanced Task Killer or WidgetLocker, back it up, change the extention to .zip then change the notification.png (which is in res/drawablehdpi) to any .png you want.

Actually it's the actual Carrier Logo they change , some of the designers do mod the apps such as Widget Locker , Task Killer , & Phono but Raadius replaced his Carrier Text into a .png , I do have this code where you place in the statusbar.xml to do this . I'll post it up when I get home later .
Yeah man let post a link to that thread BC I'd like to figure that out. Thanks a bunch

I'd like to find that ribbon patch for the status bar. I've seen it before as a flashable patch. I've seen it all over deviant art. Looks good though.

Try this...
Edit status_bar.xml (it's in res/layout/ (systemUI.apk)
Replace the line that references the carrierlabel with the following :-
<ImageView android:background="@drawable/status_bar_switch_apps_bright_on" android:id="@id/carrier" android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
(Replace the @drawable reference with the drawable of your choice.)
Compile and push to your phone.. That's it.. I've attached a screenshot.
There you go guys , sorry i'm two days late. If you guys want me to post my statusbar.xml or my systemUI.apk , let me know & I think this only works for MIUI.
I tried the CCN app and now it just keeps showing the Roaming Indicator on all the time. I unistalled the app and it still won't remove it. I made sure roaming wasn't on and it still displays it. Any clues on what the heck is going on???
I downloaded a few Boot Animations, but they're all the wrong size.
I looked in desc.txt and changed the first two numbers (resolution) but when I boot I get a black screen.
Do I need to resize all of the pictures as wel?

OK so I'm looking to theme my tablet up to look like old school honeycomb (I hated honeycomb's lag but loved the look!). So I've started to edit some fonts to have the honeycomb look but here's the issue: my notification bar clock uses the same font as the entire system font (RobotoRegular.ttf). So how can I take my system RobotoRegular.ttf and replace only the 0-9 digits and the comma with the honeycomb ones from an AndroidClock_Solid.ttf I have from honeycomb? Yes I know the numbers will show up through the entire system, but I would rather have that than this boring clock in my notification bar. Thanks!

So I changed the statusbar background to a transparent png and the status bar does become transparent upon reboot. however it becomes dark again after I open an app or turn the screen on and off.
I also changed the png to show an extra bar of signal, but it still shows one bar for some reason. Can some one please help me here.
I am on Arhd 11.0, and my systemui.apk file is https://www.dropbox.com/s/0n8o1pkvt8f3q0u/SystemUI.apk
Can some one please help me here

I really appreciate you for trying to figure it out on your own how to do this stuff, instead of just asking someone else to do it Well First off, you can't edit the signal bars to show more signal. it's gonna show what the network provides. Next the statusbar background. you edited the right image, but you didn't add it's 9 patch back after you edited it to transparent. So I edited the image correctly for you. Just so you know inside the tools folder in your android sdk you will see draw 9 tool use that to add the 9patch back into your image before you compile it back. Also I should note that the statusbar will appear solid in most HTC apps like blinkfeed,appdrawer, etc. htc draws the statusbar from the background images in lots of it's apks. Anyways attached is your apk. It should be what your looking for.
