[Q] working Black Status/Notification Bar/Theme - Nightly Cyanogenmod - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
I've been searching now good couple of hours for a working black status and notification bar or theme for the newest nightly cm build but had no luck at all to find something fully working.
Best theme I've found so far which I really like a lot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723278 - but it is not fully working unfortunately I can't change the notification font colors to white in the cm user interface settings and android market theme seems to be broken. Rest seems to work.
I also found here at xda a htc sense like bar/notification but it's not working at the newest nightly build for my desire.
I really hate the white/grey bar/notification but want to keep cm for now because it awesome ! Has someone found a working black theme for the latest cm ? It would be very appreciated
There is also the possibility to use the MetaMorph app with some specified xml files but haven't take a look at it yet.
Thanks in advance !

*bump*
I switched now to RC2 so it shouldn't be hardly a difference to the current nightly build but I haven't found any working black notification bar yet :s
IF anyone has found some sort of htc sense like theme that works fine with CM 6 RC2 please don't hesitate to share it here Thanks !

*bump*
I am also looking for a good theme. this one is really nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 but the author ask for a donation to port this to CM6.
I prefer to make this donation to someone on xda that will do it and share for other users, better than giving my money to him.
Thanks.

Awesome man. Maybe if you could get the launcher bar for the app part? And the text on the apps, the white does not blend well with the grey.
Great work though, I miss my g1 so much already
wow, that app bar is great !!!!
BTW, the white letters doesnt seem to go well xD .

My bad i meant 3.6.5 in my post
I like it. Hope it is released soon.
i think you should have made time in notification bar white instead of leaving it black though.

Not quite so easy, make sure you get the right services.jar (from a theme that is currently compatible with the 3.6.5 builds). The services.jar have changed to include the reboot on press.power and pull down the status_bar while having the lock screen.
My theme has a good services.jar, and if you want to change additional text: search for edit + xml. ; )
Nice start. Def gonna keep my eye on this one. I like the tray and some of those icons.
Rly good job, hope to see some final job of this if someone can port SMS Widget and Dialer too ( Music and Keyboard are already ported ) Cyanogen Mod and if this theme will be finished im gonna go back to 1.5 from Sense UI .
I posted the following in the "Helpful Thread - Read before clicking new thread" sticky the other day but apparently, I'm the only one who reads stickies on xda. Maybe someone in here can answer my question and I apologize if I offend anyone by posting this in the wrong thread...
*I got a question about installing themes. What is the proper procedure of installing a new theme after you've already installed a theme? The reason I'm asking is because (first of all I'm running Cyanogen's v3.6.5) I installed the HTC Hero v1.4.5 theme yesterday and everything went well. Then I wanted to see what the PrOdigal Sun theme (Orange Cyanogen_Mod V3.4.x, V3.5.x and V3.6.x version 2.8.) would look like so I just flashed the theme onto my phone (without wiping first-didn't think I had to or was supposed to) and I kept getting force closures after force closures. I then re-flashed the HTC Hero theme back onto my phone and everything seemed fine until I opened the drawer and saw that I had the icons of the PrOdigal Sun theme instead of the HTC Hero icons.
Long story short..I had to re-flash cyan's rom again the re-flash the HTC Hero theme. Didn't wanna try the PrOdigal Sun theme again because I wasnt sure if it was compatible with cyan's rom even tho it says it is. Thanks*
whens the eta for a beta version of this theme
i wanna try this out!
What do you mean "switched to aHome"?

ahome is a homescreen replacement, instead of using the regular homescreen that comes stock with android.
he's making this theme thru "ahome" which allows the icons to be at the bottom where the "menu bar" is removed.
l3wish said:
I"ll be working on a Palm Pre Theme for Cyanogen 3.6.5 Build. Like the i said on the Title: "Palm Pre Home Theme" for now just home screen, icons and few drawers.
Okay I switched to aHome Since the icons are at the bottom!!
here is my progress

I'm pretty sad about the aHome switch. I have problems with aHome. Can you post the icons in a .zip and your launcher as well. I really want to make a private them with that app bar and those icons.

semi-theme for cm 5.0.7 "the blue in you"

first warning, this is my first attempt at putting a theme together, so go easy, lol.
ok guys, i made a semi theme for myself and thought it was good so i figured id upload for others to try. i started with stevos (from cyanogenmod forum) black bar mod test 5. i then took lots of blue highlights/buttons/icons and such from and old theme (senseherov1.4) done by manup456 and merged them into here. it has a very clean feeling, yet i love it so much more then the stock yellow/orange/green.
ok here is 3 versions for cm 5.0.7-ds stable. they now include vertical power widget mod by anderweb and sitimber, then posted by bluedragon1982 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680154&highlight=power+mod+eclair. the ds version just has themed settings menu. the trans version has the transparent widget also, and the ds dt has both plus themed trans widget. let me know what you guys think. thanks.
*after flashing go to spareparts, user interface, that is where you change clock/date/notifications color
thank you to stevo for your hard work and black bar mod from which i started. also thank you to manup456 for letting me use some of your work in this! thank you to sitimber and anderweb for the setting widgets. also thank you to JF from which i started, of course cyanogen, and everyone else in the android community.
MAKE SURE TO NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING! like everyone else im not responsible if your phone dies, blows up, or grows legs and runs away, lol...

[Theme] R64Themes White,Blue,Orange,Noir,Pink,Purple,Green [18-02] 5 Lockscreens

Screenshots, click for large version
Hello,
I made a theme for myself but since more people than I expected like or use it I'll share it here.
Introduction
I liked the light blue stock samsung has but I find that they went to far with all the colors everywhere that it looks too busy and cheap. Because of a lack of inspiration I couldn't think of a good name for it.
I'm still trying to edit some images but lack the inspiration or skill to do those. So I'll post an update here if something changes.
Install instructions
All have been tested or reported working on docs jpu/jpx/jpy, darkyy's jpu/jpx, jim_panse jpu/jpx and webstars jpu/jpx roms. These zips are ment to be flashed with CWM I assume all users are familliar with flashing custom zips with CWM. It may work by installing it another way but I haven't tested that and CWM is easy and it works.
Make sure you pick the right version for your rom. Some people have flashed these on other roms. It may work but I haven't tested it.
To be safe always make a back-up or have another working theme on your sd so you can flash that if something goes wrong. Theming is not the most dangerous thing but if 1 image is named incorrectly or your rom is incompatible it may not boot anymore.
The first boot after you flash this can take a long time. And I mean a really long time. This doesn't mean its stuck at boot. After that it will boot at normal speed and future updates should also boot faster.
If there is a problem and it does get stuck at boot the phone will vibrate multiple times during the glowing S logo and eventually will go black. If you have that problem then flash your backup, a working theme or your rom again.
If you have issues after the install try to clear the dalvik cahche from recovery.
Downloads
So far they do not work on default JPO/JPU/JPX/JPY/JS3 roms.
All have been tested or reported working on docs jpu/x/y, darkyy's jpu/x/y, jim_panse jpu/x/y and webstars jpu/x/y roms.

Suggestions/Tips
If you have suggestions to make it better let me know. Can't promise I can do/like it but I will look at it.
Also if someone can think of a good name for this theme, I can't think of any now.
Extra's
The font and icons on homescreen are not included.
You can find the icons here:
http://yankoa.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Phone-7-Icons-166077852
If this link get broken search for phone 7 icons devaintart on google.
And the font called comforta (install it as a normal apk:
http://www.multiupload.com/4LO4EO9MI4
Using files for your own theme
If you are going to make a theme and post it here you are free to use some files from this theme. If it is a small number of images you can take them. If you are using a lot from it then you are still allowed to use it (would be nice to ask) but at least leave some credits and don't deny it (you know who you are ).
CreditsIf I forgot someone let me know.

Personally I don't like the coloured icons there. But I've had this request before so I can make an small update which gives them colour. I'll make an seperate update of it for people who want colour. I think I can have it done later this week with other small updates.

The first one is battstatt and the second is clockr. Both are in the market.
I haven't tested on jpm roms. People have tried this and other themes on different roms and sometimes it works. You can try of you have a backup and the know how to fix things if it doesn't.

You can download all the icons from that link. And use them in launcherpro or desktop visualizer. Or did you ment something else?

Hi R64, tested the JPO ver. on BUJP8 base. It works but some texts were not right. Like notification it appears #6##d, the clear button in notification appeared ongoing and some other random madness. Aside from that, it's working great.

I made a new one for BUJP8 based on a working theme for that rom. I haven't tested it yet so consider it a beta. If you have a backup/revert you can try it but I can't say if and how it works.

You can put the icons anywhere as long as the gallery/mediascanner can detect them. Then just long press a icon in launcher pro and select change icon.
does this theme include the extended menu? must i install the extended menu first b4 i flash this theme?
On all the roms I've tested it with they have the extended menu.
Hi love your theme. keep up the good work.
I'm using the asop jpo theme on jp8. Works fine. Maybe you can put in the startpost if the jp8 has asop or default lock screen.
Can you tell me why they are much bigger than the one i downloded before the 29th.
Thanx
Thank you so much R64
The colour version is just perfect excellent work!!!
Please keep working in your theme! its one of the best theme for sgs
Cheers mate!

Thanks for the comments.
They are bigger than my older version from before 24-11-10 because I've added some themed apps. So that the musicplayer, gmail, mediascanner and settings use the same theme. With the next update I'll post them seperately.
You dont have to do that for me. Was just wondering.
Maybe it is wise to tell whats in the zip.

[Q] CyanogenMod with Miui battery visual?

I loved the Miui's option to view the battery at the top of the screen instead of just a small icon in the status bar, but Cyanogen's Androidian theme just takes the cake for me. But I wanted to know if there's anyway I could get the battery visual from Miui to Cyanogen.?
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps =)
(BTW I am refering to CyanogenMod 7 rc2)

[APP] MIUI HOME LAUNCHER for any ICS Device

Hi guys just thought I'd share this here.... Its nothing at all to do with me, but I thought it was worth sharing
This is from miuiandroid.com so all the thanks need to go there because this is just fantastic...
MIUI HOME LAUNCHER
That is made to work on any ICS device
Make your phone look like MIUI with the stability of your normal rom
As far as I can tell you can use themes too.... Although they are limited to Icons, Wallpaper and Lockscreen
But it might just keep us going till full version is released
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-home-launcher-now-native-for-all-ics-devices.16356/
5M, 40 min to download? what server is this?
I'm guessing China
Really nice, thanks a lot for the info mate
Could you also tell me how you did you get your status bar to look like stock ICS please ?
Bro my phone and people contacts(and also so many icons) not changed...pls help how you did it...
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I'm on the jdroid exodized rom which has those icons in the status bar anyway... Its only a home replacement so it doesn't change a lot, its not like a miui rom and has no where as many of the features that miui has, it just gives the look of a miui rom. Go into themes and can you see what you can change, its basically wallpapers, lockscreen and icons. When I tried it it changed all my icons to the miui ones....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
These are excellent news, I'm looking forward to full version. This version is a little bit laggy.
Really cool! Thank you!
