[Q] Notification Bar Help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running the rooted stock rom 4.54.651.1 & would like to change my notification bar icons (battery, signal, etc) to the gingerbread green theme. Can someone here help me out or point me in the right direction on where to go. Thanks.

You have to change out the pngs in systemui, framework-res
Tapa away from a galaxy far away

Use an app called metamorph. Its way easier then what that guys talking about.

You can also try using UOT Kitchen, just need to need to upload the required files from your phone and it should make a zip that you can flash to change your notification.

Try metamorph or ninja morph

correct me if im wrong but now that we have the toggle signature check option all you have to do is open framework.apk and take the resources you want and copy/paste/replace the ones you don't want? that or adb pull framework.apk open (without un-zipping) replace images and push it back.

You need to edit images if your using cm7 or a Gingerbread Tom its in framework-res in the framework folder and in SystemUI on the app folder as for sense you will need to edit files in the HTC resources apk its in the framework folder if its a sense 2.0 Tom then inside of the I believe customize folder find an apk to edit(that is if your wanting to be able to resourt to stock theme) and edit that or just edit the HTC resource file like mentioned for sense sorry if there are any mistakes in this I'm on my phone and can't check for proper names of the locations.

Ok thanks for the info....what programs are out there that are good for editing these apks? I'm sorry I'm new to editing apks and this is my learning experience!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well to edit the images in the apk just change the .apk to .zip and look through it for the files you want to edit they will be images as for the txt you will need to edit the services.jar there is a guide on here somewhere that tells you how to do it just Google changing txt color in android notification bar.

I'm not worried about text color I already did the notification bar I'm more concerned with the lock tabs and loading bars....the small green accents here and there
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Those are in framework-res if your on an aosp rom so just open it up and play around.

Also what program should I use to edit xml documents?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
That's something I'm not exactly sure of you will need to decompile the apk first if I remember correctly then u edit never took the time to research how to decompile bit after its decompiled you should be able to use several programs just Google for one
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well I changed apk to zip and then extracted....there weren't a lot of images but there were a lot of xml documents that had titles that looked like they were for what I needed to edit so now I just need to figure out how to edit them....I know a lot of html and basic javascript so from my understanding it should be easy but my version of visual studio won't let me edit xml.....I need another program....recommendations?

Go into it and look for the hdpi folders there should be about 600 images if your in framework-res
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Found it....looks like quite a job! Any idea where I could find replacement icons without having to re edit all of these?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just edit the hue in Photoshop or paint.net its real easy I use paint.net plus its free and lightweight only 3 megs and does a great job
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
So I'm using paint.net to work my way through the hdpi images....when I'm done do I just rezip the framework file with the stuff set to store and then change extension to .apk and then rezip the Rom and flash it? Idk how to apply my changes

Flash it? Did you make an updater for it or did you replace the files in a ROM that you're going to flash? I personally just push the .apk via ADB shell.
How did it go

I did the xml editing for all the status bars, vol bars etc on my old Eris to change them to blue. Wasn't too bad, just extracted the XML where the current colors were all listed then edited the raw xml with a hex editor and put the new colors in (backwards) then applied, was pretty cool....
edited alll the files that I wanted and re packed them into my rom (skyraider) then just flashed the rom as if it were a nightly update (no wipe data/factory reset).....It worked great! I mucked a few things up here and there but overall it looks very slick....I've officially made my first theme for skyraider 4.0! Wasn't too hard at all....But now that I've done all this work there's a few images I can't seem to find that I want to change the color of....Mainly the highlights press color on the select a connection type dropdown and more importantly the volume popup bar when you increase the phone volume. Also I'm interested in trying to edit some apps like the market and the messages list......and my keyboard so I can get rid of the green in the candidates bar but unfortunately I think these apps are "signed" or something.....Does anyone have information on editing apks like that? when I try to edit them it seems to work correctly until I try to install it on my phone....Input on how to change these apps and the volume bar and everything else stated would be greatly appreciated.....And many thanks to odst for being as helpful as he has been with all of this. This has been a great learning experience

Sorry I didn''t realize you had posted the answer to my question about vol. bars.....Where do I find this xml and more importantly how the hell do I open and edit it? I can't figure out how to open these xml's for the life of me

Battery Icon Mod Question on ERA Simply AOSP EC05 Rom

I just flashed the ERA Simply AOSP Rom EC05. It has a "Simply Settings" app which you can change between 3 themes but I do not like the battery icons.
I installed Battery Icon Mod app but under Epic 4G it only lists DK28 and Experience Roms so I am guessing this is either outdated or I am using the app wrong but either way I figured I would double check here first.
So, on this rom is there an easy way to get a battery icon I like such as the circle with percentage in it?
Note: I am not looking to add a 2nd icon on the left of the status bar, I wish to replace the batery icon on the right.
Install a theme? Or edit the included themes. I am not going to teach you, but the files to edit for those themes are in system/saosp folder.

I believe maddoggins theme has the circle with percentage in it, doesn't it?

Revolution Remix theme has a nice circle batt icon. If you only want the icon changed, qbking77 has a youtube vid that'll show you how to flash only parts of a theme, if you don't know how to do so already. Pretty easy process.

Transparent Notification Bar

Hi Guys,
I'm running Deck's ICS Alpha 8 with Nova Prime on my Evo. Is there any way short of flashing a different ROM to make the notification bar's black background either transparent or not exist at all?
Thanks for any help.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
You should be able to change the transparency value of statusbar_background.png in systemUI.apk. I've done it easily on many roms. ICS is a little different when it comes to the systemUI but it should still work. I can try for you if you want just send me the systemUI.apk if need be

Transparent Status bar in EL29.

I'm trying to find out what files I should mod for the status bar. I know for a fact it's an XML inside statusbar.xml of SystemUI, the image itself (status_bar_background.9.png in the drawable-hdpi) and then a smali edit. I just need to know how to edit the smali to get transparent status bar. I'm really trying to get a MIUI theme going for stock TW roms on EL29.
Any help is appreciated.

Unless you modify the touchwiz view you can't go transparent with tw as there is nothing drawn under the launhcer.

It's been done for ek02. I'm hoping there's a way for it on el29. Worst case, it could be enabled on other launchers like go launcher, or adw.
