[Q] Transparent Notification Bar - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently running SkyRaider's 3.1 Sense rom on my Incredible but im having issues with random reboots, etc. I tired Virtuous 2.7 rom and its ridiculously smooth. The only thing that really bugs me about that rom is the notification bar. I hate the stock one now that ive gotten so used to the transparency. I used the Incredible Revolution theme and the notification bar was fine but i wasnt really feeling the whole red colored theme. If someone can help me out with making a zip file for a transparent notification bar like the one in SkyRaiders rom i will definitely consider buying you a beer. =P haha

if youre talking about the actual bar itself and not the notification area background, i've already done it. search dude, it helps.

im talking aboout the pull down menu that has the notifications. ive only found one with a 50% shade.

I'm also searching for this.

I would also like an easy way to modify the transparency on the notifications pull down. I haven't found an easy way yet (other than begging a dev to do it )

There is a post somewhere with a flashable file for this

what roms are you guys running? i figured out how to do it.

skyraider 3.3.2 - have you figured out how to change the color yet?

please tell how to do transparent! the only flashable zip of it i could find only works with the stock sense launcher and still didnt work too well

[Q] Desire Z/HD-Style "3G" and "1X" Images?

Hey! Just flashed back to SkyRaider after giving the Desire Z ROM a go, and one little thing I really liked about it was the icon for 3G and 1X in the notification bar. Any way to put that into a standard Sense rom? Thanks!
The icons should be in framework-res.apk like they are in everything else.
I'll take a look and see what i can do.
EDIT: These particular icons are hiding in com.htc.resources.apk
This is my first MetaMorph theme, but it looks like it should work. Use at your own risk though. If anyone more experienced would like to tell me if this is right or not, I'd appreciate it.
anyone have a screenshot of what they look like
They're actually the stock Android icons. I don't know why, but HTC decided to stop using their custom ones.

[Q] Any way to get a black notification bar on stock rooted rom?

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I've searched, but really haven't been able to find an answer on this... is it possible to get just a simple, black notification bar using a rooted, stock G2 rom?
I don't want to apply a theme to everything, don't want to fiddle with what isn't broken (too much). Not really interested in running a CM rom at this point, just want to have a nice dark colored notification bar that doesn't look god awful with the rest of my screen.
If it's just not doable, any possibility it might be an option in 2.3?

You have to be using a de-odexed stock rom in order to apply black notification bar. also, 2.3 will have black bar as stock but we dont know if tmobile will push out a gingerbread update for the G2 quite yet. I'd say yes but you might have to wait 6 months knowing tmobile. we will probably have a port way sooner than that though.
Thanks. I'll go ahead and try the deodexed rom and go from there I gues.

[REQUEST]Help Theme My Rom

Is anyone good with transparancy? If so would you mind helping me with my rom? You can pm me, add me on aim, gtalk, or msn all of them are the same screen name [email protected],gmail,live.com I would really appreciate it. The rom is bases of stock 3.70 deodex. Thanks in advance!
Already on board
Remember that fix I told you about that I was trying to accomplish today? Well I started it and it messed up my entire status bar and notification window. I have the GB battery with froyo icons, and GB notifications. The status bar isn't fully black but it's not transparent you can't see through it at all no matter how bright the wallpaper is. The notification window is all black which I also want to be transparent. It's like I did the complete opposite of turning it transparent and made it like a blackout theme lol which I didn't want to do. I'm going to put the notification bar toggles in there and send you the framework-res.apk in a couple minutes.

alright shouldn't be too hard for me to fix this
Here Is The Framework-res.apk
I also removed all GB from the rom because it was having to many problems to find out where the error is so everything is pretty much stock. Only thing included is 4in1 reboot, 4x5 workspace and appdraw, I was putting the hotspot hack in but I don't think it worked out but I should be able to fix that.
Edit removed old framework
Here is my new framework I haven't found any problems with this one. It has a 4x5 workspace, app draw, 4 in 1 reboot, power widgets in the notifications, and sprint hotspot hack. Next i want to change the dock from stock to GB, then after that work on the status bar.

[Q] Sense 3.0 remove time from notification bar

I've been using the Uberkingdom ROM lately and one thing I miss from CM is that I can't remove the time from the notification bar.. I haven't been able to find any sense 3.0 mods for Uberkingdom besides the battery % and animated sync icons.
Has anyone come across a flashable zip to remove the time from notification bar that would work with this ROM? Thanks in advance!

I can tell you how to do it, Post #25 here. I tested this out on NilsP's Business GingerSense and NewToRoot's ROM (can't remember which one, it was a 3.0 though), and it works. As far as a flashable zip, I have not seen one yet. I think the Devs for the 2.1/3.0 ROMs are trying to get the bugs worked out before theming them/creating mods. If you know how to, you can do it yourself if you are feeling adventurous.
If I'm feeling brave enough I'll give it a shot, thanks !!

GB Notification Bar

Hey guys, I'm on RMK's unity. I love sense, but I always preferred the GB green images in the status bar. I can make a quick test of what'd id look like with the modified framework. Would anyone be interested? Also, would you prefer the sense two color notification bar, or the single color notification bar (ex: CM7).
Ive been waiting for a stock GB status bar for virtuous! Icons, battery, all GB. Had it on my inc1 with almost every ROM I ran and loved it. I say dev away my friend. Everyone will flash it once It's out. Okay....maybe not everyone, but lots.
sent from my inc2
Any luck man?
