It's not possible yet on kk 4.4.

really if that's the case I wont be upgrading.. hard to believe they would make phones less customizeable..

Yes is truth. Seems that the battery icon is no longer an (animated) image, but a Java implementation.

iPhone status bar theme MIUI

Hey!
Can somebody make a theme for MIUI status bar like iPhones one (screenshot) ?
The point is to make it a little bit thinner than normal MIUI.
Note: I want it for MIUI Gingerbread 'cause it's easier than MIUI v4, but if you want it for MIUI v4 ...
Thanks!!
Every time i look at a picture of an iphone i want one so badly
Me too, but my phone looks now like an iPhone with MIUI + Ultimate iPhone theme.
Now I'm tryin to make it perfect

Cool, but the most important thing is to make it thinner, like the iPhones one

Don't even think that's possible unless you use a lower DPI.

Yeah. LCD Density will do it, but it will make everything smaller.

i guess you can do it by editing systemui.apk's layout xml files manually
your gonna mess up alot of things by editing status bar to be thinner.
If you do it, the time will have to be changed to be smaller and fit, then it will have to be modded again so miui can change where it's location is. All this but for pretty much every notification you'll ever get. all the icons are going to have to be smaller than before, and it may not even fit on the status bar.
Just use a lower dpi, im on 200 and it looks really good.
Changing DPI, the icons remain at the same dimension and the labels are smaller and they come on the icons..

The battery and signal are a cluster. I'm not to fimiliar with MIUI but I'm guessing it follows the same principle. Only the battery text can be moved to the right on its own. I may be wrong but that's how it was when I was running CM7.

Looks Great
Hi guys,
It looks absolutely awesome!!!!
Is it still a work in progress? or is it finished and the full thing is in a different thread?
Cheers guys
you could use custom status bar + in the play store . I use it all the time

[Q] JB -grey status bar -how to change?

Hi guys,
I think the new JB is great in all ways except one, I hate the new grey status bar. Is there any way to change it black or transparent? I know that this "problem" has been fixed on other Samsung devices like SGS3 or Note, but what about SGS Advance?
Unfortunately I am not an android expert and don't know what files should be modified for this. But I think it is as simple as in the other Samsung devices. Could somebody from the expert guys handle this?
Tnx in advance!

Actually the grey status bar is a bug...I got it yesterday too...please do a complete factory reset,cache/dalvik wipe in stock recovery...the actual status bar is black...the bug gives the whole rom a peculiar grey tint...also the transparency elements are hampered...everything was solved by the simple factory reset and cache wipe...plz try it...:good:
hmm interesting
I did a factory reset before and after installing JB, but I will try once more.
maybe it will help...
(the only problem is I have installed all apps that I needed and now the phone works well...now I have to reinstall everything )

Well.....thats a pain in the ass I knw.....i had to do it myself yesterday:cyclops:.....when i istalled everything first time and then thought "maybe" the grey thing is a bug...coz it shouldn't look this way normally...then I took the risk and it paid off...the rom looks pretty nice though...I changed the ppi to 170 and swapped the stock launcher with Nova...and uninstalled the useless bloatware samsung usually provides...much ram freed too... :victory:

Well that isnt normal now is it?? status bar normally has the same colour as the drop down menu...so maybe its a different bug in yours,i dont know...i have only documented what i experienced personally yesterday....your experience may of course vary with mine...in my case it was a bug...coz its not there now...status bar is now beautiful black...and all the transparency effects are fully working too...

Well its just a personal preference.....I like having larger screen space...changing ppi to about 170 gives a decently large screen-space without much loss in image quality to my eyes...
This is not a bug, it's a feature.
Samsung deliberately changed the color of the statusbar to darkgrey so the Amoled pixels on the statusbar are ON like all the other pixels of the screen so they all have the same level of wear.
This way you won't get a different color on that bar over time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897351
Anyway this is why they changed it for the SGS3
Guys this is the color of my status bar presently...u can check and compare it yourself...if this is the color of yours too the you haven't faced the bug i mentioned....

Why is the UI in JB different?

Hey guys, just wanted to know why in the JB update for S advance, the ui doesnt come like in other devices, i mean with that dash above the "message, contact and phone" icons?
and also why the applications icon is different? The commonly seen in one with a circle around periods.
Also why is the lockscreen in stock not the same with the new drag function?
Thanks in advance

Hi, first of all, it's just silly, uncomfortable and pointless to make a new thread for a simple question instead of using the Questions and Answers thread [Q&A].
Second, no one knows the actual reason why the UI in Jelly Bean for S Advance is different except from Samsung itself.

[Q] Request 4.42 stock stripped

Can anyone suggest or help me to make a rom based on stock kit kat firmware for locked bootloaders. A plain one without any apk that can be downloded. NO SONY APPS oh and with a plain google lockscreen with working wallpaper in settings. just a basic camera, and without any xposed mod etc. would be perfect if it was totally black also in settings. I have all this on my xperia t, but not on z yet. Dont care about z2 ports etc, just a basic rom ie 400 mb or so. any input greatly appreciated.

You mean you want a special rom made for you?
Maybe its bit hard thing to make a ROM but you can talk to some developers like @Rajeev and tell him what you want
Yes basically a rom with only the bare minimum of apps and features to make the phone work, built for speed. Everything else can always be added later. I will ask Rajeev but I think he is busy with 2 roms.
To make the settings completely black is it just a case of decompiling the framework res apk and changing most to holo dark? Or is there more to it.

Just wait for my Ultimate BlackXZ v1 tomorrow.. Then download it. After that remove all stuffs that u don't like.. U know u can make a rom for Z with only 367 mb Size..
Making a Black Themed apk is not just changing colors xml.. U should spend some hours.. There are pngs. U need to theme it to White from Black. U need to look in Layout Folder. Lot of works..
Hey thanks Rajeev, I will wait and try your rom but alot of devs call their roms black when they are grey, the one I have on my XT is my pals darklord and it is truly black, this is what I would like to have. I would also like to learn how to go about this :-B
