[REQ] Dropdown notification menu (Serendipity)

Hey guys, need some help here
I fell in love with the dropdown notification menu of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965760&page=16
BUT I have no idea how to extract it and zip it to flash through cwm
Is there anyone kind enough to help me @[email protected]?
Cheers!

that part is controled by tw-framework-res.apk ( think its called that you will notice it)
just copy that out of the roms update zip file and push it to your phone via adb and it should work.

Use winrar to pull the PNG you want and move just that accross
Sent from my GTI-9000 Using that XDA app thingy

The pull down bar is part of the TWframework-res.apk.
You need to extract the apk.
change the system_notification_bar.png (or whatever its called. I cant remember off hand) with the image you want. You will find the images in drawable hdpi folder.
Repack the TWframework-res.apk into a flashable zip and flash via CWM.

But it also has smaller control buttons on the top, so it's not just that file that needs to be changed...

Thanks for all the replies. Have tried extracting and failed. Totally zero experience in doing such stuff. Anybody else willing to download the rom and try to extract the necessary files?

Hi,
The 'twframework' file is from my darky's v9.3 zip file.. i'm using that right now..
The 'twframework(2)' file is from the serendipity rom which i'd to extract from..
The picture of the dropdown notification menu is shown in MikeyMike01's post above ^
Thank you

hello
i am needing some assistance too. i coped the status_bar_expanded.xml from the serindipity tw into my tw apk, and im finding this strange error. That graphic is usually the background to the music controls.
FYi i didnt copy the not. icons from serindipity
Thanks for your help.

Normally the bar above and below is the same background. This allows them to be different.
You should copy over the other images.
Note that the music player still works fine.
Captivate, XDA Premium

how can i use this themes wifi battery and etc icons only, in stock theme?

extract the zip files to this location : /sdcard/mclock
might edit the xml to make sure the .png is at the right location.

Probably the app is on your SD card and you connected your phone to transfer the files. If not, it should be on the widget selection window.

I think you can theme it using UOT kitchen.

Or use Apk manager and manually edit the img using gimp/photoshop or use uot kitchen like the user said above me

I never tryed but i think we have to change .png file like einstein.frat said, and edit .xml file and set background of status bar to #00000000.

Sorry that I didn't see my own thread actuallymy xda app has some problems. It just doesn't show any updates. I really don't know why. Well I just wanted to reply that I actually ficured it out and all thanks goes to Einstein.frats Rom. I took the deodexed systemuiapk and placed a transparent pbackground ongoing in it and it worked. The Rom is m1ndhx8r Rom.
Sorry if I got the name wrong. I have. Also made a theme its in the wildfire s's. themes forum.

[GUIDE]Porting HDPI-MDPI[Framework-res&SystemUI.apk]

Today I am going to show u how to port an HDPI Framework-res.apk or/and systemUI.apk to MDPI
Software u are going to need:
=============================
-WINRAR
-MIR.NET (multiple image resizer)
Download links at bottom
=============================
First- Create the folders “HDPI” and “MDPI” then get your HDPI framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk ready, do the same with your MDPI one’s. Let’s do the systemUI.apk extract the res folder inside the HDPI and MDPI systemUI.apk’s with WINRAR to the folders u created earlier.
NOTE-
I am going to do res/drawable-mdpi
Second- U are going to resize the png’s in HDPI to MDPI then replace the png’s in the MDPI folder.
NOTE- When you are doing this from an newer version of Android it will be harder as the png’s are not going to have the right names.
Ok now make a backup of your MDPI res/”what ever folder u are porting” folder and HDPI res/”what ever folder u are porting” folder, then move the png’s from your HDPI res folder to the MDPI res folder. Then your operating system should ask “MOVE AND REPLACE THE PNG’s WITH THE SAME NAME” then select no.
NOTE- what u did now is determine which of the png’s have the same name.
Third- Open the rest of the png’s that stayed in the HDPI res folder in MIR.NET

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to resizing tab at the bottom and select percentage and set the percentage to 66%
Go to saving options and select were you want to save it
Then go to the GO tab and select GO
Fourth- When it’s done copy those png’s into the MDPI/res folder that u are porting….
AND YOU ARE DONE!
NOTE- when porting XHDPI to MDPI resize to 66% and then again to 66%
NOTE- When you are porting from ICS to gingerbread or vice-versa u are going to need to rename the from the base to where u are porting to.
NOTE- porting Framework-res.apk is the same as systemUI.apk
IF U HAVE GOT ANY QEUSTIONS PLEASE COMMENT BELLOW!Will update as I find easier ways
TO MOD-ALL SOFTWARE ARE EITHER TRAILS OF FREE
DOWNLOAD
WINRAR- http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
MIR- http://www.multipleimageresizer.net/download.aspx

Btw i u resize .9.pngs its diffrent
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

O did not know well Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk does not contain any .9.pngs

can i port from any rom or specification roms?

Any rom as this is the png's so any rom to any rom but....some are harder like if u are porting from an DDQK8 based rom (it does not have to be an Ace rom) to a DDQK8 rom it's very easy but from ICS to gingerbread or SII to Ace is hard cuz most of the png's you are going to have to rename

i resized the images by 66% porting from hdpi but it has smaller size than mdpi images

Wierd, you sure it's HDPI and are u using MIR.NET?

yes it's hdpi i'm trying to port some icons from this rom Xperia S-tation CHIKENCITO12

Okay but Icons can be bigger/smaller than they state...so go up with 2% each time and see when they are the same....
Still don't think it's realy HDPI----? I once ported "HDPI" HTC icons that were not completely HDPI....
ALSO Icons may not look that good...

will try and feed u back .

How can we αđđ another icon app . Like opmin , xda ,or game etc ? This icon pack is just for system app isn't?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

hi. well this wasn't really clear to me, so i have several questions.. i got samsung with an ICS rom. most system files, that i want to change their icons, have the names preceded with "sec" (i.e. secMMS.apk, secBrowser.apk). i tried to flash an icon zip, to no avail, it didn't work. probably becuase of these difference in names. i also found, in the tmp folder of the icon pack, the Icon.sh file.. it contains the addresses of the files. the contents are like:
#!/tmp/busybox sh
/tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/Browser.apk res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png /sdcard/unpack/Browser.apk/res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png >> /sdcard/test.log 2>&1
should i change the addresses and make it like /tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/secBrowser.apk res/drawable-ld... ?
also. my rom is odexed. so i have secBrowser.apk and secBrowser.odex ... this applies to other system apps.
can i flash the zips normally, or do i have to take into account the odex files?
please enlighten me. thnx.
