Hello,
Anyway of changing the top bar where the time battery and signal notifications are from silver/grey to black?
Loving the phone >)
Thanks
There is, but go to the "Themes/Apps" subject thread under Defy. You may also check out the "Android development" title, the different ROMS and thmes all have a little something you might be looking for.
you will have to flash a framework or theme through recovery
Were you able to find it?

it does change other stuff you have to make your own if you only want the status bar to change.
question asked quite a while ago, but in case you're still looking for this or someone else wonders about it also... here's what I use and suggest:
On this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-923360.html
you can find this:
DarkBar Patch : adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-DarkBarOnly.1-signed.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?hoiaf7d4na80jl6
It only changes the status bar to a 'blackish' look.
It's not pefect beacause the time display font hasn't been changed to white - but the rest looks ok.
To install this, you'll first need to have root access for your phone and Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery installed.
Then you use CWM to re-boot in recovery mode and then chose the update option and select the .zip file placed on the root directory of your SD card
[I didn't wipe or clear cache] reboot and it's done!

be carefull, me too tried to mod the framework to change the lockscreen (following a guide) and the result was bootloop.
im looking to know this too!
however, if you go into the dev section, there is a rom by iaio72 called s.froyo CEE, it have a theme with a black statusbar like gingerbread, you could try it.
I still beleive that the method I've mentioned at post #8 is easier than flashing a whole ROM...

Does anyone know of the circle battery icon with the percentage in the middle that works with the Evo. I've tried a couple but when my phone reboots, I get all these errors. Has anyone else with an Evo tried or have successfully done this? Here is my software info:

Is there one that's not in a rom? Because I really like my rom that I have right now.
Search the EVO forum for Super Circle Battery Mod w/%. Also, see if your ROM is de-odexed. I was able to flash this to my EVO with Fresh 3.3.0.1, which is de-odexed.
(I would link the thread directly, but new accounts can't post links. Find post 17 by lovethyEVO.)
make sure you do a back up, some roms gave me a bootloop using it

Back on topic:
Heres is one I put together and use on my evo. It is the stock theme so if you have a custom one, youll have to send me your framwork-res.apk and i can customise it to work for you.
http://sm.jcink.com/phone/EVO-Battery-Mod.zip
Its 1% increments
100-30%: green
29-15%: orange
15-0%: red
just flash via recov and make a nandroid backup first.
Go here for the Super Circle Battery mod. Follow instructions in the second post - as long as you're running a deodexed rom, you should be fine.

Within the apk, theres 3 XML files you have to change also (2 for decharging and the other for charging).
I made it easy so you can just download them xml files and place in the framework-res/res/drawable/ folder replacing all 3 files.

sorry i hadn't gotten back before. apparently when you post through xda app it doesnt subscribe you so i didnt know you had answered!
i just added your xml files and flashed the apk. no bootlooping, no errors, no complains from the os at all...but now it doesnt show the battery at all! it has an empty space where the battery would be.
the images i have are different from yours (normal battery with percentage in it) but they're named exactly as your images. and i also put your xml files. is your services.jar file connected to the whole process? what would make the battery icon not show up while not giving any errors?
i'm on OMJ v3.1 ODEXED....i know it's supposed to work on a deodexed rom but i'm trying to make it work without changing my rom! I HAD IT WORKING ON THIS ROM BEFORE...then after some update or change I made when i flashed the file back it put my phone to bootloop. so i couldn't use the flashable .zip i was working with before
Idk but if u can figure out how to get rid of the battery on an odexed rom on purpose thats something alot of ppl have been asking for lol still a win for all the stock rom guys that run a percentage app
sent from a pineapple under the sea
that'd be nice and dandy if it would remove the battery and the space where the battery went. but this just removes the image of the battery...but the space is still there. so now between the clock and the signal strength there is an empty space!
i just copy/pasted the same three xml files but from the original apk i used before and same result. no crash, but no battery showing. now i put back the working apk i had, which has the same files but without those three modified xml files and my battery is back.
it only shows percentages for 80, 60, 40, etc...not the intermediate steps, even though the pictures are there.
Guys try this, it has been made easy for all of us.... with choices http://circle.glx.nl/
Can't seem to find anything for the newest version of Fresh ROM 4.2 that works. I have tried things for the past version and it just throws my fresh load screen through a constant loop. Just looking for some themes and a way to remove the time from the status bar.... (their was a method in 3.5, but it gets the phone stuck on the htc load screen). Thanks

There are no themes for Fresh 4.2 ROM at this time. This is a pretty much stock ROM with few numerous improvements, so any MOD that is not ROM-specific, but works with the latest GB OTA, should flash fine. Again, you have to make sure these MODs are NOT designed for a specific ROM.
To remove clock from the status bar see this post:

and scroll down to options 6, 7, and 8.

Thanks for the thread for the time removal.

Hey buddy, I am also looking for a theme to mingle with fresh 4.2 I've been looking but haven't found anything, not even generic themes mentioned already that work with any gingerbread roms. If you find anything let me know, and if I find anything I will let you know.
Me too!
After a slightly rocky start (had to re-wipe, re-flash) I've found this ROM to be the bomb! If I could just add back the pull down menu, I'd be in seventh heaven...

Check out UOT Kitchen for all sorts of customizations you can do yourself without having to write code or mess around with system files. It is fairly easy to learn and use even for a n00b. The only thing you'll need to know is how to use ADB. There're plenty of tutorials on XDA for that...

I appreciate the link but it's kind of overwhelming. Honestly I'd rather pay someone else to give me the pull down back.
Tried Widgetsoid - nice app but couldn't get the configuration I really wanted.
All I really want is that pull down...but I can live without it. Otherwise I couldn't be happier with Fresh!

The kitchen is "full". But it looks as though there may have been folks who have cooked up their own stuff that would work with gingerbread roms. Is there anyway that we can tell and download someone elses concoction?
as title said, i had a bunch of androids so far and something that give me panic attacks is the absence of the battery percentage in the default battery icon.
I know there are a lot of apps to make this battery % appear everywhere, but personally i'm looking for a mod of the default icon, but wanted to stick to stock SE rom, and of course i'm rooted.
I've been searching the forum and i only found 1 but didn't said it was for 2.3.4 and some users had bootloops issues..
You could use UOT http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
uot what? what's that, how can i find it, what does it do?
Edit: sorry didn't saw the link, i'm an idiot.
Second edit: um looks like i need to install some recovery of sorts... i was hoping there was another way, but still, thanks
You don't absolutely need recovery to install it, it's just easier if you do. You can manually replace the modified files by adb or Root Explorer (warning you will have force closes until a reboot by using Root Explorer, you will also need to set the files to their proper permissions before your device is fully functional again)
all right i'll give it a shot, last question since i'm waiting for the kitchen to finish the other requests...
2 things i desperately need in my phone: notification power buttons and this god forsaken battery percentage.
are there notification buttons possible using uot?
Hey gang. Searched for an answer to this but couldn't find it, so was hoping someone could provide some insight.
I'm running vicious 4.1.1 on my verizon galaxy nexus. the other day i modded my soft keys, and last night i modded my battery icon. in flashing the battery icon w/clockwork mod recovery, the phone returned to the stock soft keys. so then i went back to re-do the soft keys and the battery returned to stock.
is there something i should be doing when flashing new mods to ensure the old ones stay in place?
thanks!
Are they mods applied through ZipThemer? There's a way to have both mods applied through ZT if that's the case.
If not, then just make sure the images for the nav keys are in the SystemUI.apk containing the battery images or vice versa, push the apk to system/app, set permissions, reboot, and you're good to go.

i flashed the zips through clockwork mod recovery. just went to see if i could do it w/zipthemer, but it said it couldn't find a theme within the files.
as for your second set of instructions, just went right over my head. i'm new to this whole process as i just unlocked and rooted about a week ago.
if i unzip the mod files on my comp, will that give me access to the apk file? how do i look at what's in the apk? a search told me ninjamorph - is that what you'd recommend?
sorry for all the extra questions. like i said - still feeling my way around.
Send me both mods. I'll combine the images for you.

Well if the files weren't originally meant to be applied through ZT they wouldn't work.
I'm guessing you're going to take up Zeinzu's offer, but if you still want more clarification about my earlier suggestion, feel free to ask.

Sounds good. Also -- check your PMs, I sent my attempt at an explanation lol.
I tried changing the softkeys on my Gnex and now I have none (I'm a newb). I am rooted and I can still access apps so if anyone can send me the stock SystemUI.apk in the system>apps I will greatly appreciate it, I will be even happier if someone can do one with 3 HTC one X style softkeys (just the original 3 though (back, home, multitasking) I would also like help on how to install it as I suck at modding and I need step by step help
Thank you so much for reading and hopefully you can help

Is the nav bar completly gone or is it just completely black.
If its just black, go to nav bar settings and press reset Nav bar.I had this happen to me....you'll have to re flash the ROM to be able to change the actual images of the buttons or just put up with the stock nav bar.

They are completely gone, do I just do a regular recovery mode flash with clockwork mod? I am using just stock rooted JB so I don't have a ROM.

Why don't you extract of from the Rom zip
First, you should always, always do a nandroid before you flash stuff on your phone.
Second, I don't believe there is any way to simply flash keys on a stock rom. I'm sure if your more savvy to modding/theming you can do it but not without a little computer magic.
Third, to get your keys back (since you don't have a backup) you'll need to go ahead and either download and flash a rom from the forums (fastest way to get your phone back to normal)
Or you can unroot and re lock using the toolkit you used to root your phone, then start from scratch.
Edit:
Oh and lastly, sometimes ppl get a little pissy if you ask questions in the wrong forum. The q&a forum is up top

...You just flash it in a custom recovery, it has little to do with your computer's OS. It's the same process for most ROMs. Have you actually gone through and read a few threads?

I actually change my keys often from my phone and I'm running stock. There's a post somewhere in themes and apps, can't remember exactly where since I'm on my phone, but someone has a bunch of icon sets for soft keys and also directions on how to change the keys using either apps/mods or directly in /system.
What I do is download the soft keys I'm interested in, and use Root Explorer to extract SystemUI.apk. I locate the extracted folder and then I move the soft keys I want into it and save over the old ones (they have to have the exact same name even if different images). I then zip the folder, rename as SystemUI.apk, then move it into /system and save over the current .apk and reboot.
When I first started this way it seemed like a bit too much hassle but now that I'm used to it it's fairly simple and quick.

Took less than five mins. Forgot to add that once you paste over SystemUI you'll either have to have a quick trigger on the power button or just do a battery pull because you get the "SystemUI has stopped" error message.
