Need help with Theme

I'm working on my first theme but I'm having issues figuring out why I cant change some notifications to match the status bar. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I have no idea, but you can try to just strip the background away and leave it transparent an make sure your custom icons are Centered correctly. I haven't had the problem you're having but in theory the transparent method might work.

if you just make the icon bg's transparent then they will still look fine if you change your notibar color (unless u change it to white )
OR
you could open up one of the icons that does match the notibar and copy/paste that gradient to the one you need to fix
also, I don't know if this would create a problem but I always make sure to save icons and such as "save for web and mobile devices" in photoshop

Thank you for you reply, it makes perfect sense. I have no idea why I didnt think of that.

I did try to copy onto a gradient icon that did work. For some reason it still came out wrong as you see on the image.
"save for web and mobile devices" would this help with image size? Currently they are coming out nearly triple of stock. example stock icon=1.31kb modded icon=3.97. I'm sure stripping the gradient will help but is still huge compared to stock.

i use cs5 fireworks for editing all pngs and no change for editing .9's. like neb said you can either find each add'l file and redo filter repeatedly through all the bg's or you can just make them transparent like neb said. He knows what hes talking about.....i know darch needs an evo too neb, but what about yours?

I'm loving it!!!
This thing is frakin amazing!!

Ok so I took out everything except for what I needed. No gradient nothing else left but the white notification icon. Then exported it with "save for web & devices" (this helped on file size thanks) Now what its doing is, icon appears correctly when its slide down into position, but then the icon stock background color gets added on (wrong gradient). Its so quick but I can see it happening.
On the plus side some did change like all battery icons and wifi, but the rest seem to be doing what I explained above very frustrating. Ive attached one of the icon's that I'm working on if anybody whats to help me out.
Rom Fresh 0.3 if that helps any.

[HOWTO]Customize your Lockscreen with Widgetlocker

I didn't find a thread dedicated to customizing your lockscreen, tought it might be a good idea to post a quick how-to in case some people didn't know about this yet. I've gotten a lot of help from this community so I wanted to give something back, even if it's something small
So the Widgetlocker app allows you to modify your lockscreen, you can add app shortcuts, widgets, sliders, actions, change the background and a bunch of other stuff.
1. Download the Widgetlocker app.
2. Open the app, get into the "tool mode" (tutorial has a good explanation on the different modes).
3. Long press on the screen and there you can choose to add a custom slider, application shortcut or widget.
4. For custom sliders chose ICS theme to make it look like stock, then long press and click edit. You can add up to 4 different actions/shortcuts/applications.
Here are some screenshots of mine, nothing fancy, just 2 extra sliders with 4 apps each. Added flashlight and sound toggle to the default slider and weather widget below the clock.

Lots of themes for Widgetlocker are available here (thanks zombieflanders)
Edit: Resized screenshots for easier viewing

Nice work, thanks for sharing.

When I was looking at reviews of this app on the Market, I noticed some people complaining on battery drain, have you experienced that, or any other negative side effects of using Widgetlocker?

Haven't experienced any battery drain so far. The app was a bit quirky at first but checking the "Root Helper" option in advanced settings and disabling the default lockscreen helps a lot.

Good info for those who don't know about it, gabster21. As an addition, there's eleventy billion (no, really, there's so many that they had to create a new index on Google Docs) WidgetLocker themes in this thread, with support from the dev here. BTW the dev is the always-awesome and responsive [email protected], who is responsible for Nova Launcher, which even in beta whoops the stock launcher's butt, so if you haven't already, be sure to thank hi as well as gabster21 and zHk3R.

I had a look at those earlier but forgot to add that to the first post.. done it now, thanks!

Another cool feature, useful for advanced users (especially those with root): If you go into WL's settings menu and hold the volume-down button for a couple seconds, you get an additional menu of "experimental" settings. But as the title says, they really are experimental, which means they're unsupported and may not work or even break functionality.

When the ICS slider is at the bottom it expands very small, much smaller than the stock bubble (where the selections sit). But when the slider is moved up from the bottom of the grid it expands all the way, giving a longer travel from the center before a toggle is selected. Does anyone know why this is?
EDIT: I would delete this if I could figure out how. The circle expands less because I had a shortcut on the bottom which would get cut off if it expanded more.

Hello droids
I completely forgot how to customize the maingrid of the app.
In my previous setup i had clock, battery % and (eventually) battery status charging (like gabster21 lockscreen)
I need phosphoreus, but how to config again in this way?
Thanks

Ok for now i solved by an experimental function (hold down volume button in settings menu) but i would know still how i did that customization in the maingrid...

[REQ]Transparent Rosie Dock

I tired to decomplie Rosie.apk and looked for the Dock but couldn't find it. Not sure if it's under com.htc.resource.apk. If someone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I had Sony before it's under easier in that one. Not sure how to do it in HTC.
Edit:
I tried this guide

I used the m.10 editor but by some reason I couldn't edit rosie_navbar.m10. In editor it's not showing

The image is in fusion.apk and currently there is no tool avalible to decode the images properly. So A work around we used on gingerbread was to decompile rosie/ rosie_navbar.m10 and just make all the dock images transparent by changing there visibility. But once Again, there is no tool avalible right now that can decode the m10 file. So I think were stuck with a stock looking dock. I also noticed that the navbar image is in the different skins. Might want to look in one of them for getting that dock nice and clear

Thanks. Wow i didn't realize theme is so hard with HTC. I guess it's better to wait for someone to customize it. I'm kind of a transparent freak

+1 request
can we remod htc sense control (checkbox, radiobox, progess bar, button...) as pure stock ICS theme?

I've been very used to Transparent Rosie, especially with CoreDroid, that I really "'dislike'' the One X Rosie look at present. But that is the only way to keep on using Sense.
As a user, not a Modder or Developer, I get around using Apex Launcher which again is a sacrifice not to use Sense features. Of course, it'll definitely come here in XDA, eventually.

Seems like there is a way to enable Transparent Dock by editing some smali anyone care to share it how? I know one of the ROM has it but it would be nice to use it on other ROMs as well.
TIA

in Pkmn there is an option for trans nav bar
or lack there of a nav bar bg

i would of share it if i knew how... really not that simple, smali files are not png's and are so difficult to understand , believe me...
themers just hope that one day M10 or M20 will see the light and that we can finally make some skin's... and some cool stuff's...

Thanks Dougi! I have a little experience editing smali to tweak the Framework.jar, service.jar but that was with the help of a tutorial. Let's hope they can release the tool to edit those m10 files.

im interested in this as well, so i went looking...
fxnavbar.smali might be the place to look smali\com\htc\android\rosie\home\fxcontrol is where it is located, i cannot test anything as i am having trouble recompiling ...

Version history
Planned for next version
* Based on XXBLG1
* Layout improvements (make top space = bottom space = between-rows space)
* React to bluetooth headsets (might be delayed until v0.3)
v0.1 (10 Jul 2012)
* Initial release
* Based on XXALF6

Looking forward to some feedback. Did it work? Or did your phone burn up?

Can I confirm with you that the important changes are in the app_list_view.xml, ids.xml, public.xml and CANotiView.smali files? (InteractionManager.smali, too, possibly but I haven't looked at it in great detail) I'm asking because I run stock so I like to odex my /system/app APKs and also because Samsung seemed to have made other changes in LFB (I'm guessing your ContextAwareService.apk is from Omega 7)
Thanks

Thats right. InteractionManager.smali is not touched, everything else you name is modded. The apk is from Omega 7, should probably get the latest one.

Can you confirm that it actually works for you? =)

After bastardizing your changes and removing the other layout folders that are in the LFB version, I can indeed confirm that your work does, well, work very nicely:
Thanks!

You're on cm9, right...if not and you're on stock(custom) rom, how did u get brightness slider on notification bar.
To OP...
Btw. Thanx for the 12 toggle. One request though,could u make the toggles scrollable instead of over/under.

Samsung added it in the XXLFB firmware.
EDIT: If you're using a custom ROM, it may be using the XXALF6 version of SystemUI. (When I've ran APKTool on these SystemUIs, I've always found oddities.)

Doesn't seem possible I'm afraid. The reason for this is that what we get in the notification pulldown when we connect the headset is a kind of notification that uses RemoteViews to render itself. A RemoteViews object is limited to including the following (according to the Android docs here):
FrameLayout
LinearLayout
RelativeLayout
AnalogClock
Button
Chronometer
ImageButton
ImageView
ProgressBar
TextView
ViewFlipper
ListView
GridView
StackView
AdapterViewFlipper
What we would have needed is a HorizontalScrollView, and we don't get that. I think this limitation is in place because dy default swiping a notification to the right clears it so we would have inconsistent behavior.
I GUESS it would be possible to hack the framework somehow, but I don't think I have the time or the energy for that.

Thank you for allowing this to be ported to the epic touch 4g

Hi!
Can some one tell me why the apps I choose to be shown does not stay always in the same position? They some time move left and right and so they don't keep same position in notification menu...
How to fix them definitely??

Hello. I use the Nova launcher and I don't have the headphones shortcut. Can I enable it with this launcher or with others,? Because if we don't use the Samsung launcher we can't have the headphones shortcut.
Thanks

This is confirmed working on jedixp8 for the at&t note2
Edit: by the way this is amazing. Also I used to twrp 2.3.3.1 to flash this

Any chance or any way to get this working in an AOKP or CM10 rom?

Any way to go back to stock number of toogles as 12 toogles does not align good for me

I just hide 2 apps in the right side
BTW...my device is a GS2 ..Galaxy 3 should not have issues.

CM Roms Navbar customization?

I don't get why there are aftermarket customizations for the on screen navbar but being so limited. Except with SlimLP. SlimLP allows for a 5 button navbar and the ability to customize the heck out of the buttons such as making them apps, instead of home, back, recent and menu. The TabS already has those as hardware keys. And using the HWKeys disable function itself does not disable the HWKeys. So you can use the Soft key Navbar for almost anything.
But the other Roms, not so much. They just duplicate what's already permentately there.
I've been trying to mod them. TouchWiz I can since they don't care to mess with the Soft keys due to the device having hard keys. So I can mod those. But it's a TouchWiz Rom. Enough said.
Enough with the life story. I'm asking for help. I don't know where these CM navbar images and xml files are. Not in SystemUI or Settings? Can someone please shed some light on it... I'm wanting 6 icons, for media reasons. No home or back or recent.
I'm trying to make this mod for the TabS for in car installs. Any help is appreciated. 7786 has already been helping as best as he can since he created this mod for the Nexus7. But he can only help so much when he's using a stock style Rom.

Why? Softkeyz doesn't do anything that I've mentioned. And definitely there is no theme on the planet that does. This is modifying the navbar in the System Ui. Softkeyz enables the factory navbar. Currently the most modifiable navbar system is built into SlimLP Rom. Softkeyz, extended navbar with xposed are all just enabling the already there navbar and enabling the hidden menues that are already there. I don't want a menu button or a home button on top of the hard home button. I don't want duplicate buttons that serve no extra function. I want the modified up the butt navbar with volume and media playback abilities for car installs. Which is a thing.
Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

In case anyone didn't read the first post I'll try to explain it better. This is a mod designed by a couple different people for IN CAR INSTALLATIONS where volume buttons are impossible to hit without going into settings/sound/volumes. Some people install usb volume knobs or even their headphone amp/dac has a nice volume knob. But lots don't have room. Or a place. This mod just makes the install easier. The Nexus7 has lots of development for in Dash Installs but is not the only device. The TabS, iPad, Galaxy Tab and many more are solutions... Easy solutions. I've installed Dell Venues, GT7s, Kindle Fires etc.
Now with that said, every CyanogenMod based rom has aftermarket built in custinizations to the navbar. Which completely overlap the factory built in Android Navbar. No Softkeyz or exposed mod works with these. And definitely no internal manual modification to the SystemUI.Apk works since the CM stuff overlaps it. SlimLP seems to have more customizable navbar settings than any mod or Rom out there. Where you can set up 5 or 6 actual app buttons. Not just home, recent apps, back, menu... But unfortunately no abilities to have volume, play, pause etc.
I'm guessing nobody developing for the TouchWiz Roms cares about the navbar since they were designed for devices with hard keys so it's mildly easy to modify them.
I've requested this to be added, but no such luck even after the bribe of donating a decent amount of cash for the mod. So I'll make it myself with the help of the developers of the mod for the Nexus7.
So all I'm requesting is location... The location of the CyanogenMod Navbar.xml that is overlapping the Android navbar.xml. So I can personally add these abilities to a flashable zip so others can use it to make the install easier.
I'm really just asking for a little bit of guidance. Mercy lol.
