*I made this before any of these new roms came out and as such it was meant for and has been tested on only the stock Gingerbread rom that comes with the phone. I doubt it will be compatible with the new roms.*
So, thanks to the AMAZING people who brought us Clockwork Mod for the Nitro (I owe ALL of you a beer!), I could now make a backup of my ROM and take the risk of messing with what I needed to to make the notification bar transparent!
Basically, I needed to deodex SystemUI.apk in order to make the necessary changes to the smali file. All of this is gibberish to me, but I just googled what I needed to =).
To deodex, I followed this guide:
How to deodex a ROM
(I only deodexed SystemUI.apk)
And to make the necessary modifications for transparency, I followed portions of this guide:
[MOD] [Guide How To] SystemUI.apk for Transparent notifications background (Thanks AdamTt!)
(I didn't end up using step 2 of that because it didn't look very good on the Nitro)
So now the status bar and pull down background look like this!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I've bundled the necessary files so it's easier to make yours transparent too! Keep in mind, I am NOT a dev and was not sure how android would handle a single deodexed apk in an otherwise odexed rom (hence waiting for Clockwork Mod), so this may not be the slickest way (programming wise), but so far it's been working great for me. Haven't noticed any performance issues of any kind. Regardless, try at your own risk! =)
Preparation!
1.) Backup your phone with Clockwork Mod! (Yay!)
2.) Using root explorer, back up a copy of your SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (both in /system/app)
Make it transparent! (Again, everything done with Root Explorer!)
1.) Download and extract attached .zip to computer
2.) Copy your SystemUI.apk to your desktop and right click, 7zip, open archive
3.) Drag and drop into open archive (and let overwrite if it wants to):
-"classes.dex" into root folder of open archive of SystemUI.apk
-"status_bar_tracking.xml" into SystemUI.apk\res\layout
-"shade_bg.png" into SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi (hdpi, NOT xhdpi)
-"statusbar_background.9.png" into SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi (xhdpi!)
4.) Copy this new SystemUI.apk onto your SD card
5.) Move to phone's \system\ folder
6.) CHANGE PERMISSIONS with root explorer (Owner: read write, group: read, others: read)
7.) Move into phone's \system\app folder and let overwrite other SystemUI.apk
8.) DELETE SystemUI.odex from \system\app folder on your phone!
9.) Restart your phone!
*The typical limitations of the transparent notification bar on gingerbread are present here. If you use a launcher other than stock or ADW, the bar will only be transparent if you use a live wallpaper. If you use ADW, you have to uncheck the "hack" setting, and then it'll be transparent regardless of wallpaper.*
**You don't have to use the PNG's I provided. You can put whatever you want there and have as little or as much transparency as you want!**
itis, thank you for the nice mod will look great with great wallpapers. Speaking of wallpapers, that one you got looks hella awesome. Mind sharing it? post it over at the wallpaper thread please so those who are interested in it can obtain it too Thanks again.
looks schnazzy!

Scott0,
What weather widget is that?
That looks good, however in my past experience on Atrix 4G such transparency could be problem when your have text on screen and text in the notification bar, very hard to read.
Bat mod
What is a simple way I can get the bat % only?
Thanks.

Well, it's transparent, so if there's a light background behind it, white text might be harder to read, but I tried to make the transparency somewhat dim so white text is still pretty clear, even on top of a white background like here:
thank you！
i will try！thank you！
Has anyone had their camera fail after doing this mod? I'm not 100% sure that this was the cause but that's the last thing I did before I noticed that the camera didn't work. It did work before I did this.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA App
Hmm, that's kinda random. I don't have any camera issues. Can you restore and see if it fixes the cam?
I did a factory reset and put the original files back. No camera I flashed a new rom and the camera worked. I ended up bricking it beyond repair and got a replacement.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA App
That's weird restoring the files didn't fix it. I wonder if there was something else causing the cam issues then. That sucks you had to get it replaced! Do you know what happened to brick it?
I bricked it by not following the directions for flashing the kernelpanic rom. I did a factory restore in cwm and poof I had a nice HD brick. Good thing att labeled it as doa and gave me a new one.

Hello itiskonrad. I really do not understand how to do this. I lack experience. Can you please make my SystemUI the same as yours? I am just asking. I hope you can help me.
Hey there!
Since this is my first post on this board, I hope it's not too misplaced. :>
I decided to post in this thread as it seems to be the most up-to-date.
I tried several other guides on xda and other boards, but for my device it won't work. I even tried to find the necessary files on my own, but with no luck.
I'm using MIUI 2.7.13 (Android 4.0.4), ArcKnight Kernel 2.6.32.9 and Apex Launcher on SE Arc S/LT18i. I've installed the Suave Theme v4 1.5, of course with Apex merely the notification icons (ribbons) are visible from that theme.
Now, cutting a long story short, when using MIUI Launcher the notification bar is completely transparent, only the ribbons are visible (that's my goal), when switching to Apex the bar becomes black again - except on the unlock pattern screen.
I've read that the notification settings do not depend on the launcher, but changing background images in SystemUI.apk has no effect.
I hope I made myself clear and that somebody has any direction to point or some solution.
Thanks for reading my crappy english. :>
Regards

Status bar, not notification pull down. I've already gotten the notification working, as it was just a standard png edit.
Anyway, is there anyone that can give an explanation on how I can get my status bar to be transparent? I've already gotten the proper image from system/app/SystemUI.apk. I edited it and saved it properly for transparency. Where I'm getting stuck is the whole draw 9 thing, since the image is a ".9.png" file. I've already opened the png in the draw 9 patch tool in the SDK, but I'm just totally stuck at this point.
I sort of understand the deal with drawing black lines on the right and the bottom for the content areas, then the two dots on the top and left for the stretchable areas. But after I save the file, I'm still seeing the drawn black lines in the image. Am I not doing something right? After I get that sorted, how do I go about resigning the apk to push it to my device?
You'll need to run Eclipse, this tutorial helped me with draw nines. Once you put them thru Eclipse, the lines will disappear. Then you can extract them from the unsigned apk like the video states, use 7zip to put the images back into your framework-res.apk or whatever without having to resign anything.

I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it
Edit: Nevermind, I'm editing the right file. I just did a test and made it completely red and it worked. But, for some reason transparency is not working at all, it just keeps appearing solid black.
I believe it's in services.jar if I'm not mistaken. Or so that's what I had heard. I haven't messed with it myself.

The actual image is in SystemUI.apk. But it won't render transparent without an xml our services.jar hack. It's a pain in the ass. Also if you actually make it transparent you are going to have problems with text and image stacking when you pull down down notifications. I just replace the image in SystemUI.apk with a 480x38 top part of my wallpaper.

Unfortunately it only works on the lockscreen, screen transitions, and with live wallpapers. I don't use live wallpapers so it just remains a black bar for me.

In ADW Launcher settings to go System Preferences, and uncheck Wallpaper Hack, and the transparency will be enabled with regular wallpaper.
With Launcher Pro, it only works with LWP.

Indeed that does work. Now, if I could only get that transparency to work with the original CM7 theme. I'm not a fan of all the extra theming stuff that particular patch adds. Thank you though.

UDPATE: 18Aug11 I've just finished up a port and addition to Pandroid's DropTheme in White for Froyo and Gingerbread MDPI Dream/Sapphire! Screenshots are attached below.
Download and instructions can be found at www.sisterbird.com/android-themes
Enjoy!.
I've finally gotten around to setting up a website to house my collection of MDPI themes. Each has been set up as a Metamorph base for Gingerbread and for Froyo. Thanks to kellinwood for the ZipThemer app on the Market, you can create a flashable zip on your phone for whatever Gingerbread or Froyo ROM you are running.

I restarted the service and reindexed the files. All links seems to be working now. Sorry for the trouble.
Awesome themes! Some amazing work you've done!
I was wondering, how can i get the dialer in the Minimal Blue theme?
Ooops!
Thanks for your kind words! You caught my mistake in including that picture of the themed dialer. My metamorphs do not include that for the sake of consistency. I tried to include the same parts in all of them so that you could go from theme to theme without reflashing the ROM to undo the changes or ending up with some pretty wild color schemes.
BUT...Rhamej's original metamorph did include the dialer. You can get it here and use ZipThemer to add it to your flashable zip and make an undo flashable at the same time. His original theme did not include the icons I use in settings, has some extra pngs not needed in framework and does not have the SystemUI for Gingerbread. You can use ZipThemer to pick and choose the parts you want out of both. Of course you could use Metamorph to apply just the dialer, but you wouldn't have an undo.

Alright I'll try the ZipThemer method right now thanks
Also, Is it possible to combine two themes? As in, for example: Using the notification pull bar of one theme & using the system UI of another?
I believe so...you can pick and choose sub-parts from different themes and combine them in one flashable zip. Let me know how that works out for you.

hi,
I want to use the theme Minimal Blue on ADS_Magpie, based of Ezgingerbread 2.3.4. I was just curious to know, how will it effect on performance, battery use etc ???
also, please tell me, if it will work with launcher pro? or it is meant for ADW launcher only?
Themes typically have no affect on battery life, performance, etc. The pngs have been optimized.
hey sisterchick, what thread was I talking to you in last night?!?! I cant find it here or on the cyanogenmod site.. I was asking about Honey B... should it include the clock, wallpaper and dock bar as in the picture in th OP on froyo for Laezlo??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083639
It was in the Sapphire thread (see above).
Ahh...I understand now. Yes, all those things you mentioned are personal settings/preferences and not part of the theme. BUT, I can point in the right direction to set that look up for yourself.
The clock widget you see in the screen shot is Simi Clock Widget available from the market. (The analog clock that is part of the system is part of the theme.)
In ADW and Launcher Pro, you can customized your app icons in the dock. Those are minimal text icons I made and/or collected. I've attached a file with an assortment that you can use. Save to your SD card.
The wallpaper is courtesy of National Geographic Photo of the Day, resized for the phone. I've posted it below as well. Save to the DCIM folder on your SD card and apply.
MIUIHO - Inferior Human Organs Gingerbread with a taste of MIUI

As you can see, I've added 3 different launchers, this is due to the fact that some people may prefer the MIUI Launcher(qqlauncher) look instead of the Touchwiz Launcher, or vice-versa.I decided to include the 3 for more customization. When you first install the ROM, you will have the option to choose which one you want after you setup your Google account.
Also, if you want to restore the stock apps, just download the Stock_Apps.zip and restore them using File Expert. If you need more info on how to do this, just post a comment and I'll write detailed instructions!

This ROM is based on Jerryscript's 8/25/11 build of IHO

I'd love to see something that shows battery percentage, but I suppose that's kind of anti miui, lol

Actually the battery icon on top shows battery percentage, but since it was charging when I took the screenshot, it didn't show the battery percentage lol!
So what launcher are you going to use?
I' am still not sure if I should stick with the original MIUI icons, and Touchwiz 3.0 (used in the creenshots) or go with LauncherPro and use the SuaveHD icons!

Or if not, I imagine the framework files can be altered by UOT kitchen
Kind of a **** question, but might it be easier to make a theme for iho? Either way I like the look.
Yeah..at first I thought about that...but then I'd have to add all the different links to apps for MIUI look, plus the patcher for transparent status bar, plus the widgets, plus the touchwiz launcher, plus all the other things I'm planing.for this..so it was easier for me to just create the whole rom with everthything included xD

Hi, I was never a big fan of all-blue themes, so I started to modify SystemUI.apk, basically I took this original mod and started replacing some icons to my liking.
As you can see I only replaced alarm icon and battery icons so far, but I think I will replace wifi and the other signal icons too. Also trying to find a better vibrate mode icon. I might throw in a better bluetooth icon too.
Update: I have now replaced vibrate, bluetooth, airplane and silent mode icons, as well as status bar.
Also, I didn't like the standard grey Gmail notification icon, so replaced it.
For this, you simply need to push modified Gmail.apk to System/App folder, then restart phone, do not try to install. It is version 4.0.1-228551. An update from Market will of course replace this and grey icon will be back.

Attached is the ZIP file. It should be flashed with CWM Recovery. I'm not responsible for any damage, so please do a backup first
I have tested this only on THIS 06 Dec Ir5: MCR ROM.
galaxynexusITL41F_BatteryMod.zip - this is original UI (legacy menu button on the right hand side when needed)
ITL41F_BatteryModUIPatches.zip - includes search and menu buttons on both sides add on by paulobrien.
Icons I have used:
EDIT:
Because of the Market promotion, I buy and install a lot of apps these days and didn't like that grey icon either.
Made one myself, so it's not the greatest, but I'll share anyway. If you have a better one, please share and I will replace if it's nice.
You need to move the attached Market app into /System/App folder and restart phone.
Very nice,please add file.
It's uploaded now. I have flashed this myself and so far all is good.
Working great on Android Revolution 1.3.1.
Thank you very much!
Very nice keep up the good work I much prefer the colourful icons than stock ones.
If possible can you make an alternate version which includes pauls search and both sides menu buttons like you did in your other thread as you already know that by installing this mod takes them back to the stock soft buttons (and I dont like them lol) .
Mark.
It's now uploaded, please give it a try, but maybe keep the old one on the phone just in case, if something goes wrong you would simply flash the old one back.
I didn't try this one because I don't like the search button nor options on both sides
I tried to modify your apk to include a circle battery icons. I decompile it, replace pngs and recompile then adb push the systemui.apk. When I restart shell, i have no Systemui at all (no soft keys or notification bar)...am I missing something here?

I have no idea unfortunately. I took these icons from my collection of custom ROMs which I've been using on my previous phones. I usually take the icons I like and build a theme for myself.
Now messing with status bar... took this from one of the themes I used to use on my SGS2. Add this in for download or not?
Can you please state which mod has the search and menu buttons add on and which one has the original layout?
These types of mods are the icing on the ICS! Great work!

Found the blue one It's attached. But I won't be keeping this many versions, too many files to update, I will stick to red one I'm trying to get away from all-blue, after all. For me, bluetooth icons are the only ones that meant to be blue
Looks SO good! I want it "I have tested this only on THIS 06 Dec Ir5: MCR ROM." - is this official GN Google factory ROM ?

No, you can click on THIS link in my first post and it will link to the modified ROM page. I don't think it would work on stock ROM, I think you need deodexed ROM, but again, I can be wrong.
I didn't like the standard grey Gmail notification icon, so replaced it with this one:
I can post modified Gmail.apk if someone is interested. Will also add the icon to the list on first post.
Always interested in a bit of colour, like yourself I also don't like the grey icons.
If you post up the apk in the 1st post is it just a case of flashing it over the battery / blue status bar without affecting them?
Also, KUDOS on the blue status bar! Looks awesome! I can see my phone being full of your add ons!
Added modified Gmail.apk and instructions.
Hey all. Here are all of the icon sets I have made thus far. They all come in FULL sets. They are *NOT* flashable zips, just regular ones. These are probably best used with Nova Launcher or your alternative launcher of choice.. I will add more as often as I make them.
Enjoy and hit that thanks button if you like my work

-Thanks to NatemZ (RW) for creating the sexy Rootzwiki wallpaper I package with most of these sets. Make sure to thank him!
-Thanks to Fawkes (RW) for finding a working method to replacing your system apps with mine so they will even show up in you app drawer and so on. Make sure to thank him!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*These sets are NOT flashable zips! Extract them with something like Root Explorer*
Instructions:
-Method One (Easiest, but does NOT replace system icons or show up in app drawer): Download the zips from the links to your sd card. Use an app like Root Explorer or AndroZip to extract the contents of the zip. In Nova launcher (or whichever one you use), long press the chosen icon and hit "edit" when the little menu pops up. Browse via gallery or root explorer to said extracted icon. Apply. Enjoy.
-Method Two (Advanced, Replaces system app icons):
*I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. You do this at your own discretion*
1. Perform the all important Nandroid backup. Just in case...
2. Download the icon set of your choice to your SD card.
3. Use Root Explorer to copy the .apk file of the app you want to edit to your sdcard.
4. Unzip the app.
5. Copy the icon of your choice to the res/drawable folder of said extracted app.
6. Rename the old "ic_application.png" (original icon file) file to ".old" (or whatever)
7. Rename the new icon to the same thing as the old one (ic_application.png)
8. Rezip the entire app up, and then rename it from .zip, to .apk
9. Place the app back into the system/app or data/app folder that you pulled the app from originally.
10. Reboot
11. Place the icon back on the homescreen if you want it there.
12. ...
13. Profit!

Textual (sexual text): Contains 94 white text based icons made with the beautiful ICS Roboto font.

Loving the black and white set, one request, could you possibly add some more icons to it? That would be awesome. Again thanks for your hard work.

I am actually in the process of that right now! I'll be adding to almost all of the sets here shortly, as well as I'll be adding a bunch of new sets and bringing my softkey mods here as well.
Also, I will be updating the OP later tonight with a BUNCH of new sets, updated links as I switched my hosting to goo-inside, Metamorph/Zipthemer softkey mods, and a far cleaner format!
I would also like to apologize to the XDA Galaxy Nexus community as I haven't done my part to maintain this thread and keep you guys updated. I promise from this point forward that will no longer be the case.
Stay tuned guys! I'm about to open the floodgates on a collective 92 hours worth of themeing and mods.
If anyone gets curious and doesn't feel like waiting, download the goo-inside.me app from the market and find me under the devs section. All of my icons and navmods are there

Love the big update!! Keep it up man..thanks
Thank you very much for the text icons they look great and please keep up the great work.
Added 4 new icon sets and 3 navbar mods to the OP.
Could you do a Quickboot and maybe a Yahoo Finance icon? If I had to pick one, I'd pick Quickboot.
Thanks, loving the icons.
