I am modifying some of the images on the g2 so that they look better on a modified density screen. One of the things i want to change is the status bar. The gray background image when you pull down the status bar that contains the network carrier's name, and the cyanogenmod icons for quick access to bluetooth, sound, etc.
I tried modifying
frameworks/base/core/res/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_header_background.9.png (from the cm src)
but it didnt seem to affect anything. and yes, i have been able to modify other images on the system so that isnt the issue.
They should be just in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

They lies in /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Hello guys, and girls?
I've just rooted my Magic and installed CyanogenMod 6 (stable) on it. Is there a way to make the progressbars (downloads, volume) green instead of yellow?
Yep with root you can change anything not sure how to go about changing the progress bars though, but yes it is possible

Progress Bar
You will need to get Paint.net (free) and set up SDK and ADB on your computer. Pulling the Framework-res.apk and then modifiing the progress bars (notice I said bars).
Try putting this in your framework-res.apk file (in your drawable directory).
It had to be edited from source and then extracted from the apk file so it wasn't as simple as using Paint.net to edit a png file.
If you use it in a rom or theme, I would appreciate credit for the contribution.

thanks binary... dont know if u remember but i was the one that tried to figure out how to change my progress bar to blue... you gave me a site that gives the number color code... well, still i never got that chance to figure it myself... but again thanks for the green progress bar file

No problem.
Has everyone ever thought about porting the default/stock android notification bar, with all its icons and such and its greyish color?? The same I can see in the android emulator on my computer to be clear...I think it's really good!
Is it difficult to port it?
no wouldnt be to hard you would have to replace the icons from galaxy framework-res.apk with the ones from stock one
Looking for this but can't find it anywhere
I made stock like notification bar a while ago, but I haven't had time to finish it. The only thing that was left was changing the text colour on the notification bar / pull down.
EDIT: I've attached the file. If anyone wants to take up the project, they can. Replace the framework-res file with the one attached. Will not work via update.zip as I haven't set it up to be flashed. It's for XXJPO.
Can one of you guru's give a noob a hand and tell me what i'm doing wrong.
no matter what i do i can't seem to theme the status bar.
I've created a new statusbar_background.9.png (yes i know .9.pngs are odd)
but i can't seem to actually make the phone take the change.
everything else i try and change shows up with no problem.
i've tried everything i could think of but am sure i'm missing something.
this file (attached) seems to do what i want if i drop it in framework-res on my old phone. or systemui on my tablet.
there is a statusbar_background.9.png in systemui but ????
but on the touch even if i edit the .xml and call it as drawable both as a .9 and a normal .png and i can't seem to make the touch like the change. i don't get a FC i just see the standard black bar. if i just delete the png i do get a fc though so...
I've even tried with a solid red bar just to see if it was the transparency but no go.
is it calling a different statusbar_background from somewhere i just can't find?
Many thanks to the person who tells me how im an idiot

Ahh yes the dreaded 9.PNG file... it drives us themers nuts... it takes special edit which a little more than I can explain here. Search edit 9.PNG and I think you will find threads that will explain it in depth... probably not the answer you wanted but there are people on xda who have explained it much better than could...
thanks i'll give it a few more shots. but i'm fairly certain i created the .9.png correctly as it works on a couple other devices. and all my other .9 edits seem to work as intended. just was wondering if it was possible that it really wasn't the statusbar_background.9.png in systemui.apk that themed the status bar by some chance. as it seemed to FC if i had an incorrectly made png, but boots fine just with no change if i use one i'm pretty sure works.
just wish some themer had skinned the statusbar at all so i'd know it was just me being a mooley
I'm wondering the same thing, as I've changed almost everything else to MIUI style status indicators just by swapping PNG's in the drawable-hdpi folders. Crysis21 uses an HTC style status bar in his SensatioN ROM, and I've downloaded it to search the files and still can't find where the hell the change is made.
Yea just seems to want to foil my every try. It should just be the status_bar.9.png in systemui and mine seems to work on my buddies international s2 but for some reason ........ Dunno it may take me a while but ill figure it out eventually. Unless some kind soul steps in and shows us the answer

Sorry about the format, I wasn't able to upload a zip for some reason, the attached file has all of the drawable-hdpi folder changes I've made. The work isn't my own, only some of the tweaks and proper naming, its from HTC, the MIUI devs, and the brilliant minds (obviously mine excluded) on XDA.
Thanks....gonna try and learn as well. You guys are mch better than i but we all start simewhere right

Hello i was wanting to know how to change the image in the pulldown bar like you see in the UOT kitchen and if its possible to change the top buttons images like the wifi on / off and 4G on /off ect or the whole button itself
there in the SystemUI.apk located in system/apps
res/drawablehdpi folder
just edit in any image editor but try and stay away from the .9.pngs they are special and a pain in the bum.
you can just change .apk to .zip to unzip then rezip and rename.apk
you want the quicklaunch icons for the drop down icons
and status_bar_background for the actual background
thank you bro for such a fast answer
no problem i just happen to be trollin through
do you happen to know were the battery images are ?
and if i could just remove all the stock ones with ones from another theme for my phone ?
battery images are in framework-res
system/framework
if using ones from another phone you'll probably need to do some renaming
most roms currently on our phone use full 100 % increments
if i remember correctly there are 203 total 100 unplugged
100 plugged and a full empty and unknown
thanks again you have been a huge help
anytime
if noone shares the info this stuff can be a royal pain.
If you use the UOT Kitchen and keep getting errors, try un-checking Patch9 autofix. This will not decompile the 9patch images and may allow your theme to build. It worked for me with modding ACS Ice Cream Sandwich Theme (modded battery only).
thank you
and are there any other theme kitchens or rom kitchens for our phone ?
oh and i noticed there are two different default pull-down backgrounds one under systemUI.apk and one under the frameworks.apk and both are different sizes and dimensions , witch ones do i change ? or do i change both ?
the one you want for the drop down background is
status_bar_background.png
in SystemUI.apk

I'm fairly new to Android, coming from my FrankenPre to the Epic Touch. I want to begin editing the icons and images on my phone, and I've been exploring some ROMs ansd themes and switching up some icons, which have worked fine. However, I have no idea exactly where all the images are kept. For instance, I tried to change the stock Email icon, but the images I changed weren't right, and I was somehow left with the "Android Robot" icon.
My question is, seeing as how you know where these images reside on the phone, how do I go about knowing which icons are where, and which ones I need to change? Is there a list somewhere of the stock system images and their locations, or is it trial and error to figure out where they are? Thanks for the help.

Hello everybody. I have been working with my 5.1.1 SystemUI from freeza's mostly stock ROM, using both Tickle My Android and Android Multitool. The first mod I did was with Tickle My Android. I moved the clock to the center of the status bar but this giltch (see attached thumbnail) showed up when swiping the status bar down/up. I thought I had just screwed up something in the code so I started over with an unaltered SystemUI. This time I got rid of the sfinder/quickconnect bar using Android Multitool. Unfortunately the glitch showed up again. It looks like the top of the status bar is coming back up from the bottom then it disappears. Has anyone had this issue before or know what might be causing it? Its new to me.
same thing with me i tried apktool last ver 2.0.1
older one same thing
Did you use the qmg tool or replace all the qmg files with png images? I don't see any images in that pull-down but I sure got a bunch of qmg files instead of png images when I decompiled it.

No. What I modified was just code. The blip at the bottom is the bar from the top. As you slide up or down the bar disappears from the top and temporarily appears at the bottom.

Oh; If you find the right code for center clock, please share. I could use the other mod you're trying to implement as well.
This is how I finally got rid of the Sfinder/Quickconnect bar from my notification pannel. Still haven't found code to move the clock and fix the issue in the op yet.

Maybe you've been following this thread. I see there was progress and a possible temporary solution I haven't tried yet.

Apktool is being looked at to possibly fix this issue in near future.
