Hello all,
Here's my question/problem:
After applying a UOT Kitchen file containing only a battery mod, then subsequently restoring from a nandroid back-up because I didn't like the style, the status/notification bar will remain black and not transparent after rebooting the phone.
I do not have my home screen set as the "Blink Feed" but a standard panel, and as such the status bar should be transparent (which I am quite fond of). However, since applying the battery mod and restoring from a nandroid backup, when rebooting the phone and first going through the lock-screen, the status bar will remain black. I can "fix" this problem simply by pressing the power button, locking the phone, then going through the lock-screen again, and now the bar will be transparent. But another problem presents itself after that, when opening any application that changes the status bar from transparent to black, then going back to the home-screen, there will be a one second delay between the status bar changing its transparency, I don't remember this happening before I applied the battery mod etc.. Also, when going through the lock-screen (after the initial boot/first lock-screen) the status bar will change from being transparent, then going black for about one second, then becoming transparent again.
Though this isn't a major problem, it's not something I can live with.
I have tried fully wiping my phone, removing all system data and then just applying a custom ROM. This didn't help.
I have also tried replacing the "framework-res.apk" & "SystemUI.apk" files with the originals from a back up (before the battery mod was applied). Again, did not work.
If anyone has had a similar problem or knows a solution, please help me!
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and here's my phones details:
Stock ROM + Root.
TeamSeven Kernel - Performance Edition - v4. (the kernel was applied before this problem occurred, so I don't believe this is the source of my trouble.)
UPDATE: After hours of searching and attempting several "solutions" I decided to flash a different kernel, so now I'm running the ElementalX 1.0 kernel and the problem has been fixed. I believe it was an issue with the Aroma installer rather than teaMSeven's kernel. Anyway, all's well that ends well, I suppose...

So I have Froyo on my nexus one, and I'm trying to change the status bar.
I have used MetaMorph and NinjaMorph in the past with no problems.
However, whilst applying a morph, the wait just takes forever, and I get bored.
So I tried to make my own using NinjaMorph, same thing. It just takes forever.
Any suggestions?
What about the status bar are you trying to mod? In depth mods can not be done due to the odex'd files. You need to wait for the source or a way to de-odex the system files.
The background color/image. I know it can be done, I think. (How's that for a contradictory statement?) Right now its gray, but I'm shooting for more of either a black or possible opaque one.

I have only seen gray/clear. Look in the Themes section (should have been posted there in the first place) that is as far as they have come with themes, like I said, because of the odex's.

I have had no success with morphing the status bar in froyo....Britoso said he has, but I don't know his setup.
Imho your best bet is to flash from zip.
click below
CLEAR statusbar
GRAY statusbar
BLACK statusbar
There is a clear statusbar mod that has a black notification background, but it had to be flashed instead of morphed.
Or use adb...pull framework-res.apk, change images, push, reboot. Done.
Yeah, morphs don't work but you can pull the apk and change the images.
The problem is with the text colour at the moment, you can't change it because it's in code and for that we either need the source or the deodexed files so we can reverse engineer.
So, you can get any colour bar you want, you're just stuck with black text at the moment for clock, date and tickers.
I updated to Cyanogen 6 RC2 and noticed my task bar reverted back to white. I tried to use my morph to use the desire taskbar but it didnt work (due to metamorph not working for some reason). I then ran a diff black bar which did work with the updated version of metamorph and noticed the date in the taskbar was no longer present.
Is this due to the morph or is this due to cyanogen 6? can someone tell me? Also, is there a way to get it back?
Also i believe i was able to change my lockscreen caption with cyanogen 6 RC1 but i cant seem to find the option in RC2. did some searching and i see some .apk that need to be custom built in order to change it....is this true? or am i some how overlooking the option with cyanogen 6 RC2?
anyone have any light to shed?
Maybe I am missing something
You have changed settings->CyanogenMod settings->User interface settings so that nothing is showing up black right? I had the problem when I first morphed to the black desire bar. And you have to reboot the phone for the changes to take effect. I hope it's that simple.

thanks for the tip, but i did check that and thats not the problem...ive even gone as far as making everysingle color something non black so that way i can see which color represented what portion of the task bar. I think what happened was i flash a diff bar than the desire bar first but used the updated version of metamorph which doesnt work...i think that bar f'd with it to be honest.
I'm sitting here in my room enjoying the fact that I now have FroydVillain 1.5 on my Hero. I have stumbled into a problem though. My status bar is still the "vanilla" one and therefor my fonts have gone invisible (or the same color as the new UI) and the same with some of icons. For instance my clock in the status bar is impossible to see..
Does anyone know a fix for this which goes around a full wipe?
Thanks in advance

EDIT: A partial wipe will be okay as well, just as long as I don't have to start "All Over" with setting up my interface and settings..
To anyone experiencing the same problem. I've found the solution, even though I ended up wiping my Hero anyway. It seems to be something with the kernel version I downloaded. I will try to download the next one through the VillainRom Updater and hopefully this helps.
Hey everyone, how's it going.
Lately I've been having some problems with metamorph installed on my mytouch 3G running cyanogen mod 6.1.0. For some odd reason it says that everything has been applied but nothing is ever applied, any reason why it's doing this?
Bumpppppppppppp.

it could be a few reasons.. if your phone is utilizing the drawable-mdpi folder instead of the HDPI (low/high res) then it will think it's been applied but it won't change.. also if the cm version on that phone isn't deodexed then some mm themes won't change anything...or if that cm has options for custom stuff, you might have to enable/disable those settings.... what are you trying to theme anyway?
I'm having the same problem on my N1 with CM6.1.1
Metamorph goes though everything and prompts me to restart to apply the changes but nothing is changed. I am trying to change icons in the status bar, on one occasion the battery icon changed but then changed its self back a few seconds later.
I am new to metamorph and already have a custom theme installed by flashing in recovery... could this be causing this problem?
Cheers people
Depending on where you got the icons for the top statusbar, some phones use the drawable-hdpi folder and some use the drawable-mdpi one... if you got an icon set meant for one, but your phone uses the other, it won't change anything..even if mm says all themes applied... typically already having a custom theme won't affect metamorph tho.. if you can't figure it out, link the icon set you are trying to apply and I'll look at it for ya.. on the battery issue, some roms read in 1%, 10% or even just 20% increments so if you have a battery icon you apply that is only set up for 20% readings but your ROM reads in 10%, the battery will switch back and forth as those increments are hit...
Yep your right, i had a batt icon that went up in 1% and the new one only in 20% so i at the 20% increments i have the new icon and for every other percent i have the old one! I've tried changing the wifi and signal icons and these have both been fine! Thanx alot mate!
You dont happen to know where i can get loads of different icons from do ya? I wanna try loads out now! haha.
Edit* Also if i want to keep a battery icon that only goes up in 20% increments how do i stop the other icon coming through for the other percentages? Cheers!
Hi, i just change my battery icons on my sgs but theres a little problem... There's a pictures for every percentage but it only show me every 10% (100%-90%-80%...). Is there a little files that i can change to be able to see every percentage or i need to install a theme or something else then i will be able to update with the icons I want?
Thanks
I use https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sYXJyeXZncy5iYXR0ZXJ5Il0. for that purpose. It's one more incon in the notification bar but it gets the job done without the need of rooting the phone.
mods
is there any battery mod for ics?????
