MrVirginia from the AT&T forums helped me discover this. It's an AOSP style status bar on a Touchwiz based rom. If any themer/dev wants to implement this as an add-on, that'd be great! I'm limited in theming knowledge so I'm not really sure where or what to do but I figured I'd share it with you all.
The edits are within the TW_Cluster_View under /res/layout folder in the SystemUI. I'll attach the already compiled XML if this gets popular.
Wouldn't mind checking out that xml.
There's also a bool for this in SystemUI too, but it changes a lot more of the UI
But yea if you could post it tht would be cool

I want to modify all pngs in framework res apks, drawable htpi's! Are there some that should not be touched or can i just replace them from another apk drawable htpi file? Swap them and overwrite!
Sent from my Full Android using XDA App
Yes you can just pull the images from another evo framework. If you want to add extra images like adding battery percent, you will have to edit some XML files if the framework you are adding them to doesn't originally contain them. As long as you are just replacing files you should be good to go.

Editing .9.png's is easy enough, too...but it does take some extra effort. Do a little searching. There are several good how-to's out there specifically about .9's.
This is where i am at with it!
Can i just swap pngs from one res to another and leave the 9s or do the 9s have to stay with corresponding pngs or are they two seperate enteties! Do the 9s in a res effect the pngs within the file!
Can i just swap res for res!
Sorry for being a pain but i need to know! Cant do it alone and i respect your knowledge!

If you are just pulling a 9patch file from another rom you don't need to worry about it. You can just copy it straight over.

How about swapping the whole drawabale hdpi file, pngs and all!
Sent from my Full Android using XDA App
Pretty much if the filenames correspond from the different roms then your rom will pull it correctly. Draw9 patching isn't too difficult as long as you understand how to patch/recompile them; otherwise, editing them is as simple as photoshop or gimp. Also, certain files will show up as index color in photoshop and I pretty much stay away from those since it's too bothersome to recompile them. An example of mashed up themes would be lowrider's theme that uses components of various themes.
Thanks

I wanna change up the launcher style to look like the HTC Sensation/Pyramid (semi transparent) and can't figure out where the png's that control the transparency of the launcher are. Anyone?
Oh, also, I'm using the Sprint 2.3 leak, but I'm pretty sure there's not much difference within the Rosie apk.

Right, I can get that far, but I don't know which certain pngs control the transparency... I'm thinking common_mainnav_scroller1 and common_mainnav_scroller3, but I don't know if those are the only ones I need to edit or if there's more.
if its a stock rosie, there are some files in htc-resources.apk, if i recall in the drawable-land-hdpi folder. those would be the ones you need to trans. ive only themed froyo, it may be a bit differnt.

Rosie can't be themed from the images in com.htc.resources YET. You can change the transparency using the m10 tools though. But as far as changing the looks... some of those images are locked away in m10s as well. Which cant be edited... yet.
From tests, it looks like a lot of images that are changed by a "skin," cant be changed. >.<
Hopefully soon it can be. I really really hope someone proves me wrong though.
Of course, Rosie could be completely edited/rebuilt to look for the proper png's other than these gay ass m10s.

Yeah, I kinda figured that out... :l I haven't been able to find a single ROM that supports a Sensation style launcher or a MetaMorph for it or anything... Wtf, I'd expect themers would be all over the semi-transparent look, yet the only device I've seen supported so far is the ThunderBolt. skfkntnskfxsmfn. I'm just trying to do it myself. Lol
if you want to make rosie transparent or semi-transparent, that is possible. but for changing the png, that is a different story.
My bad. Like I said I've only themed froyo. I forgot about the skins and such.

There is a link in my signature for themes and mods. Click on it. Go to Rosie themes. There is semi transparent mod there. Take a look at it. Someone asked me to make it happen and I did a little work around for it. See if its what you're looking for. Feel free to use it but I do request you give a shout out to where you found it.

You are correct. If you use a skin, it takes precedence over other theming features of the Rom. While skins are a nice idea, I've yet to really take to them. I don't like how if you use one it takes over other aspects. I like to completely customize my stuff with the freedom to change what ever I like, as little or as much. I dunno. Hehe

Yes you are wrong you can change allot of the rosie png's and make the rosie launcher transparent or even get rid of the rosie arc's but you will be amazed that changing the png's that you will find in the rosie are not all going to be touched they are actually found in what is called the fusion.apk in the m10 files so you need a program called m10 tools and decompile and decode the png,s then open the png's up in explorer then open them up from there and edit them in photo shop or what ever you use for editing png's.There is a hell of allot of png's in the fusion .apk that the whole rom uses bit like the framework and resource you will find the lock screen ring also in there!Ihope this helps
i need help with two things one if u notice the screen shots below instead of using the minimize and maximize icons its using this big ugly square i would like this replaced with the correct icons.i checked my framework res.apk and all the icons are there and correctly named so it leads me to believe that it is indeed a wrong xml. second thing i need help with is getting this same call log transparency and fixed icons ported over to the them im using when i apply the theme via theme manager it changes my contacts and dialer to a black one. below i am attaching my framework and the theme apk any questions please ask and i will gladly donate $5-$10 to any one that is able to help me out with this thanks any questions pm me. and just for extra precautions ill upload them from my DB

All the xml's look right so I dont think it is that. But, I havent worked too much with theme apk's so If I sound like a reject, Im sorry.
I did see that com_android_contacts_custom_background_dialer is solid black. maybe that is why the bg's are not the themed one you want.
For the minimize/maximize i cant really help other than say find that image and do a dirty hack. lol.
Wish i could be more help.

If you know what the png's are called you can verify that the system is calling for the right framework pics I think in your public xml just to make sure.

Public xml is in values folder, also you can go to your drawables folder and look for any thing referencing to your anim and it will show you if the file is right. . And a dirty hack sounds like shotty work to me. Idk I may be wrong but I guess its up to you to use or not.

This is a work in progress and if you would like to help just let me know.
Below is a screenshot on what I have done so far.
-Guy Fawkes mask wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper
-B&W 1% Battery mod
-B&W Signal Bars
-B&W up and download bars ( the old orange ones from the AT&T port)
-B&W MMS apk icon
-B&W Browser apk icon
-B&W Phone apk icon
-B&W Contacts apk icon
-B&W Wifi signal bars
Basically I am trying to make everything in the AT&T ICS port B&W instead of the blue and black.
I plan on adding more framework additions and give it a more "anonymous" feel.
If you want it, thank me or just leave a post saying so. The more requests I get, the more i will work on it.

Having issues working with the .9.png's
I know how to mod them when I worked on GB roms, but for some reason I am having issues when I try to recompile the apk's. I am working with both the apktool 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 but I get errors trying to recompile them. Decompiling them works fine, I do my mods, and cannot recompile the apk's. I pm'ed some of the dev's asking for advice, but no response yet.
Anyone got some ideas???
Feel free to pm me or just post here.
Screenshot looks good and that would be a killer boot ani, will be keeping an eye on this thread..
Don't know if anyone can help me out with this because none of the dev's are responding to my posts or my PM's.
If you guys would be happy with just the png edits, I can push a theme your way in about a day.
But, the .9.png's and the xml files that still have the ICS blue in it I cannot change because I can't figure out hot to decompile/recompile without getting errors.
If anyone can help me out I can push a full theme to you.
If anyone can get ahold of Phoenix6, it would be appreciated, because he has done this, but he is not responding to me for some reason.
Thanks.
I did a black and white ics theme you can use anything you want out of it if you want.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks to dillym34, I found out the reason I am having trouble decompiling is because the apks that i am trying to decompile are AOSP based (raverx3x's version), and they wont decompile correctly. So I have two options:
Either wait til May 15 for the tmo version to come out and mod those, or mod the AT&T leak and re-mod them again after we get our official version.
What do you guys think???

I have decompiled the 4.1.1auncher apk and am making some edits to make it better for 240dpi. Can anyone tell me which XML file I can disable the search bar in.
I've figured out how to changed to rows with the cell count option. And I think I know how to edit the margins using cell width in the dimens XML file.
Please don't say nova does this etc. The new stock launcher is so smooth and nice in 4.1.1 and I want to keep it. Android is about choices. So there there is another thread with people doing this but he seems to have gone quiet so I was going to fill the requests in that thread.
