Modified status bar icons

I found this pack titled iphonestatusbar.zip and it changes your status bar icons with ones that look more like an i phone.
Well i liked the look of Dark and Blue on silver so much i decided to extract my files from framework-res.apk / res / drawable-mdpi / and change a bunch more.
to make these work i pulled/copied my framework-res.apk from my phone.
replaced the existing icons with the modified ones
then pushed the framework-res.apk and reboot the phone.
it works great..

Interesting
Thanks for the info

[Q] Frameworks-res.apk help

When i mod framework-res.apk changing color of some png files results in shape deformation.Its espesialy true when changing color of button png's and homescreen folder png's(top folder part comes out too large and out of shape).
I understand that this is due to some png files containing meta-data.My question is there anway to change the color of these png's without loosing their original shape?

Notification bar 2.3.4 JVP

I want to change the color of my notification bar on JVP. Does anyone know where i should change it?
I did get the notification dropdown menu to be transparent by changing systemUI.apk but don't know where to find the background of the notification bar itself.
I really do not like the all black one, I think it makes the screen look smaller

An easy way to change the "NB" notification bar color, is to use universal androot, root your phone, then DLoad Ninjamorph, open "N morph" then click new project, select system, framework, framework-res.apk, res, drawable, then scroll to statusbar-background.png press and hold to edit color, hit menu button save your changes, backout to "N Morph front screen, tap finish project, select framework-resapk, and your done, but you will need to find clock ect, apks on your own, it shouldn't be to hard, just remember these steps. Also N Morph creates backups of the files before you edit them, just remember to move your backup to a safe place so as not to be overwritten

Nice big

I don't think that works for 2.3.4. I don't have statusbar-background.png in framework-res.apk.
I read somewhere that it's in systemUI.apk in GB? But when i change it there using adb it doesn't change.

its because its a hex color! if you decompile system-ui.apk in apk.manager and go to res/layout/statusbar you will see on the first line depending on your os search for>> android:background="#ff000000" and change to >> android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"! then go down to the very bottom where it says date view and you will see the same thing >>android:background="#ff000000" change to the same as you did above and then save and recompile!
now whenever you change your statusbar_background.png it will change to whatever you change it too!!

where can i find that system-ui.apk? i tried searching for it!!

Unrelated to your question but, how did you get your dropdown menu to become transparent?

@yash1229 you can copy my drawable-hdpi folder to your SystemUI and you'll get transparent dropdown notification panel.

take my files decompile and look around =)

[Question] 50 % translucent SystemUI -- Problem Solved --

I am trying to make a 50 % translucent SystemUI i have changed all the over parts in the ui (drawables) but can't change the bottom bar it stays black ? does anyone know what XML file controls it any help would be great thanks
Problem Solved -- Big Thanks to m1keyb and churapa for helping me appreciate it
Edited: status_bar_tracking.xml with <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:background="#7f000000"

Its status_bar_tracking or if not that status_bar_expanded in layouts, you'll notice the status_bar_close_on png at the bottom and the background color

Have you tried just replacing tw_status_bar_close_on.9 png for the one you want in systemUI/res/drawable-hdpi ?, it worked for me.

How do I replace battery icons in ICS

I'm currently using Calk's 1.6 stock based ICS rom and cannot find the percentage battery icons so I can replace them with something different. In GB it was pretty easy but I guess some things have changed with ICS. I would rather know how to do this manually, I do not want an app or use the UOT for this. Tnx.

I cannot help you with that ROM but if you look at different ROM's, particularly the Blu Kuban, there are many battery styles you can choose from. I installed this ROM last weekend and am thoroughly enjoying it. You can do lots of customization's with it.

It is really quite tricky unless you have a theming background. If I remember right the files you need to modify are in the systemui.apk. You would need to decompile it, swap the image files, recompile it and then push it to system/app.
I'd recommend going the easy route and trying ROM Toolbox Pro.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not shy about de/recompiling apk's but in ICS I don't think its as easy as swapping out some .png files like in GB. I've already looked in systemui and framework and the battery icons are solid, whereas the rom shows the battery percentage icons.

You can use the UOT Kitchen here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Pick the icons you want, upload the framework files from your rom, and you get a flashable zip. Very easy (assuming they have an icon style you like of course).

Sorry, once again I want to do this manually by reprogramming systemui/framework and do not want to use any third party app or the UOT. Thanks.

The files are in the SystemUI.apk file. You need to replace ALL the files named stat_sys_battery*.png (there will usually be like 100 for % and another 100 for charge) ex: stat_sys_battery_98.png & stat_sys_battery_charge_anim99.png
You will find the files in res/drawable-hdpi
All you need to do is replace the existing ones with the new ones. I would make a backup cause stuff does go wrong. Also I find it easiest to replace the SystemUI.apk using a flashable zip file.
If you need help with any of this just let me know.

Ok, finally a sane person.
Just kidding, everyone means well...
Anyway, I am going to attach the framework & systemui.apk so you can see what I'm talking about. I am on Calk's v1.6 from here (in case you're not familiar with it, there are screenshots of the stock TW looking desktops):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041
As you can see, the rom's using a 1% battery percentage icon set. However, they can not be found in either framework or systemui.
I know it should be that easy but I just don't know on this stock FE22 based rom.
Edit: There are 26 battery icons in systemui. They do appear to be similar to the ones for the rom but the numbers are missing from the icons so I'm taking a stab that somehow the numbers are superimposed over the icon and this rom does not use the entire 200 or so individual icons if that makes any sense. Gonna test that theory.

Ok, finally figured it out. The developer's aren't putting the full 1% battery icons in yet and the stat_sys_battery.xml files haven't been edited for that yet either. Guess I'll just have to change that .
Thanks everyone.

I confirmed the battery percentage numbers displayed on the status bar are hard coded into the stock ICS rom. I even removed all of the battery png files and the only thing that remains is a lonely little '89%' showing in the notification bar w/o the icon around it.
Anyone know where the code for that might be?

Found this too. Settings, display

Do you want me to edit the xml for ya to add the battery images and then send you the sytemui? Or I could send you the xml files to replace the old ones.

Thanks Dazed. I finally got it all figured out. What was killing me was Calk has a bad .9 png file in the systemui so it refused to recompile correctly until I corrected it.
True 1% battery (stock ICS didn't have true 1% .png's), Green Goblin sig bar, White Clock & Big Battery.
I've attached a screenshot.
Edit: I did edit the battery xml's for the 100 or so .png files I added to systemui btw. Plus I enjoy learning to do it myself. We're kinda starting over with ICS.
