Hey PPL!
I have several questions about "design" my device.
1.Can I change my Notification Bar only?
2.Can someone give me a full guide about framework? I Downloaded a Notification Bar and the the file contains .xml file and 'framework-res' folder. how do I install it?
3.What can I do with OpenRecovery and I do I install it?
Some info about my device:
-Motorola Milestone (droid)
-G.o.t 2.2.1 FroYo
-Rooted
TNX for your help!
Google is your friend...
Here's some link to kick things off:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bugless/53486-best-way-edit-mod-framework-res-apk-froyo.html
And:
There is a CRAPLOAD of info right here on xda! Either go into your phone's forum or try the "generic" Android forum on top of the forum list page.
Here's another great site that also does quite a few batteries AND notification bar icons:
http://circle.glx.nl/
That site also lets creates a flashable zip of your framework.
The actual status bar itself is called "statusbar_background.9.png" find that in the res/drawable folder in the framework and edit until you're blue in the face...
***KEEP IN MIND THOUGH*** a lot of this depends on what ROM you're running and if you're DEODEXED or not. So start Googling.
(Plenty of info here about de-odexed ROMs too).

oldmacnut has a repository setup located here: http://www.blackmugmedia.com/Android/
You can find almost everything you'll need there. Make sure to thank him!
thanks for letting me know that
Since everyone has a different taste of how the status bar should look like here is simple guide how to do it.
What you need:
1) rooted device with CWM installed (for example per Chainfire´s guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784)
2) extracted apk files "framework-res.apk", "SystemUI.apk" and twframework-res.apk (use any root explorer) located here:
framework-res.apk: system/framework
SystemUI.apk: system/app
twframework.apk: system/framework
Caution: to use it with particular ROM you need to extract these file from that particular ROM - does not (for me) work just to use core files (like for custom KKA ROM use original KKA stock ROM files)
3) go to UOT Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ and choose the features your status bar should include. Once your selection is done go to tab "file upload", choose on right side option "upload system files" and upload extracted file from step 2. Once they are fully uploaded, go to summary where you can check what is going to be cooked. Then just simply click"submit work to kitchen" and wait for compilation completion. Pick up your file, save it somewhere to your computer or phone. Then just use CWM to install it.
Note: I have not tried this for originally themed ROMs like ROWMO or Sheep ROM so I do not know whether it works.
Confirmed to work for Cassies ROM, MySam and stock ROMs so I guess the status bar customization should work for other (not AOSP) ROMs as well.
Good luck, Haddar

Just upload files as in step 2, leave other options untouched.
Thanks for the great guide. Can anyone tell me where to find the default MIUI statusbar icons? I haven't seen this in UOT Kitchen.
Thanks.
Unfortunately many of nice status bar icons are not "pickable" at UOT Kitchen. If there was an option to upload our own icon set it would be a good time to ask theme dev´s to post them somewhere here. But it is actually not ..... we probably need to use what is already there.
I've used this before but now I can't get it to work. I'm trying to use a boot animation and I'm setting the boot animation to Galaxy type, and the binary scripting to Galaxy. I did manage to change my status bar icons but a few of them didn't change.
I'm galaxy noteOK
In the status bar size option... What kind of size is to be selected? Because there is no option for 1200x800 pixels in the status bar size option... :O
And can you do a small tutorial on the 10 or 14 status bar toggles as there are on the samsung galaxy s2... Please if you can do this it shall be a great help!!! Thanks a lot!

How did you cure the bootloop???

BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!!
That's how you cure bootloop. Then you just use 3-button combo to get into recovery mode and restore your backup.
This works! Finally found a way to get rid of that awful battery % mod on custom roms.

Hi, guys!
Can anyone confirm that it is impossible to make transparent the status bar on a Samsung device? I tried to cook a theme on the kitchen, but it did not work, only the entire status bar desapeared.
Any other options that you know?
Thanks in advance!

file format?? erh...
you'll need:
framework-res.apk [located at system>framework]
systemUI.apk [located at system>apps]
when you're done choosing stuff at kitchen, go to "File upload" and choose at update-binary: type optimus and at Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files: Upload system files and then click buttons to upload, and you're good to go

Do you like to mess??
If yes then follow this instruction (Must Have a custom rom)
1) Find an app which looks like JB Statusbar (Omega)
2) Download app swapper. The link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568913.
3) Drag and drop the customrom.zip into the blue bar on the top.
4) Right click and inject an apk (omega or anything which supports custom status bar with the theme)
5) Again right click and and create a .zip file.
6) Flash it .:fingers-crossed:
