Png changes in systemui not working - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
Thnx

In which folder did you changed the png?
And did you do it with VTS or apktool?

Drawable xhdpi and drawable xxhdpi.

Umh, you know that you have to sign the apk after some change?

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.

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.

Oooooh, I just thought it was an app notification mod.
Ill await your xml.
Sent from my GT-I9100
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???

Looks great can you please change the notification tray, the blue and geen dont blend well
I am having a hard time finding the file for that last blue bar, in the tray. I will keep looking for it.
If any dev knows the file name, let me know.
Looks very nice. Thanks! One question... If I wanted to revert back to the blue, how would I go about doing that? Just go to a backup?
Very nice! Running this now, looks great!

The blue bar isn't a png its a color code you have to decompile SystemUI and edit the xml file. Once decompiled go to SystemUI.apk\res\values\drawables and the code is next to "shade_bgcolor"

Do you know exactly what xml file it is? I cant seem to locate
It's the drawables file just follow the path I put in my last post. But you won't see it unless you decompile the apk using something like apkmanager.

Droid 3 png loations

Making this thread for people that are trying to do some subtle self theming on their own, without a ROM. (There really isn't a whole lot of themed ROMS out anyways, monsteRom is the only one i think.) you can find monsterROM in the general section.
Anyways let's say you are using ninjamorph and you want to change the 3g icon on your droid 3 but can't find it. come here post what you need someone may help.

I'm experimenting with some theming, I cooked up one in the uot kitchen but not all the changes seemed to work. Some the signal bar indicator didn't change and the text colour for notification items(all other text colours changed) also the background in the pull down curtain. I found the icons, and the new icons are in there, but don't show on the phone. How do I make them the default icons? Also if anyone knows which XML sets the text colour and how I can fix the background it would be appreciated.

As for changing the icons just editing them should work. Are you using ninja morph? And what do you mean "fix the background"

Although I changed the pull down notification bar background in uot, it still has that moto blue.

So if I want to change one set of icons for another, I need to rename the new set to overwrite the old set?

Did you set dependencies on framework-res and RES_cappuccino? That should fix the missing .9's.

found out about the RES_cap through trial and error but it says framework-res isnt the dependee, ill figure it out, at the point now where i have to all i have left is xml edits.
Hey, just a heads up, I don't think the link with instructions for hiding status icons i sent you is accurate when it comes to hiding the GPS icon. I tried it but couldn't get it to work. Also, any chance of hiding the alarm clock too?
I also noticed that the trash can for removing apps/Widgets from the desktop is ick color. I haven't found any other remnants of wrong colors, which is quite impressive for a first theme. Kudos to you my friend.

You mean the plain colored quick pop up trash can or the red android at the top?
I Skipped over all the widgets and home screen long press menus cause I never used em, i'll take a look
And as for the icons I saw that in Notepad++ couldn't find those exact instances, codes a bit different but similar, didnt wanna break anything so didn't touch yet...more research required (gotta learn some c++) but definitely am hiding alarm headphone and gps icons...
bear with me as i have literally never done any of this before and learning in between working 2 jobs leaves little time.
as all ways thanks for Testing / Rockin DirtyKang

Simply just making the icon all transparent with no logo would simply take it away but not sure if there'd still be a space in the status bar.
There will be, tried that already. lol
I'm trying to edit the status_bar.xml to remove/change the formating of space to even allow it to be drawn there, wich was easy enough but apk tools bein stubborn, i posted my log in general HERE.
Ok, I found out why the SystemUI.apk won't recompile for you. There are two files that need to be deleted, and you need to replace one other file that is corrupted.
Decompile your SystemUI.apk. All the relevant files are in res/drawable-hdpi/ First, delete:
status_bar_close_on.png
statusbar_background.png
Those files are redundant because they have .9 versions. Then you need to delete status_bar_close_on.9.png and replace it with a file of the same name. For some reason, this file is corrupt and is screwing things up.
You can then also just drop my statusbar.xml into the res/layout/ folder.
As proof of concept, here is the status_bar_close_on.9.png from ICK and my statusbar.xml (with appropriate color and 2.6dip for the top buffer) dropped into your theme:
https://www.box.com/s/796e172de222cba000b9
I don't remember if you had the date in the statusbar the same cyan color, but after flashing the above zip, the date, usb, and debugging icons in the status bar are white.

Mmm... neither of those sound like what I have. When I long press an app on the desktop, a gray bar with a dark blue trash can slides down from the top. I'm using just the default adw theme, so it might look different for me than you.

I definitely feel your pain. I'm in the middle of law finals and am desperately looking for excuses to avoid studying for my last final tomorrow =) Learning how to theme sounded much more fun =)
I believe that trash can is specific to the launcher you would have to theme the launcher.

Theming the Status bar

Hey guys how would i go about themeing the status bar icons.
I already got my Battery Themed using Wanem Xposed.
But how can i theme my 4g, wifi Vibrate etc....
let me know
Bump
I think that stuff is in the SystemUI.apk file.
I believe you have to pull it off the phone, unpack it, edit the files, pack it again, and resign it before putting it back on the phone.
There could be an easier way, though.
