Hi,
I was looking thru the framework apk trying to find the notification pull down thing becouse i want to edit it from grey to the standard transparant black. Can this be done via just changing the png file or is there other stuff i need to do ? ive tryed search button but dident find anything so any help apprecited thank you
**Big thanks to daman on thread who has supplied systemui.apk with transparent background
It is probably handled by an XML file or rendered from a small image file

agreed
really hate to bump a thread , but im guessing out of all the talented people here someone must know how to get this done or point me in right direction ?
U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

a black version would be epic!!
Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try
thanks for replys and taking time to look into , very much appreciated

system/app folder of the rom....
Use apktool to decompile the apk and you'll see the icons there, to break it down even further
If the rom your on doesn't currently have the battery percent then you'll also need to modify stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml which is in res/drawable to look for all the additional png's. If your not sure what I'm talking about or how to do it let me know and I'll upload the right xml's for you.

Thanks might have to take u up on that. I found the pngs in the systemui.apk and changed them around but it didn't take properly. The Battary icons didn't display properly at all. I was hoping I could've used uot kitchen but that never worked. I'm going to mess around again tonight. The rom I'm currently on still has everything factory as far as the status bar goes. Dumb question. I know u can't flash the i9300 Rome to the att version but what about themes?

I wouldn't recommend using them unless there using something like the Villain Theme System which only replaces the images and some xml's instead of replacing the entire apk. I just got home so give me a few and I'll send you the xml's you need to use and you 'll be fine.

Anybody here successfully decompiled and recompiled SystemUI.apk? I thought I had managed it with APK multi-tool, but it force closed when opening the notification bar...
I tried doing this also, so I could get rid of the AT&T in the notification bar in the ICS leak ROMS, but I couldn't figure it out, either.
I don't think anyone's successfully done it yet. My bet is on dman getting it done first though.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
as dman works on aosp version of ics as main part of the source most likely he wont have to change the SystemUI.apk at all - pure vanilla, most likely.
I'm on it right now. I've recompiled and compiled successfully. Current project is clock color but adding date and changing notification back ground are on my list. Unfortunately just so busy

I was able to decompile and recompile successfully too, but I got a FC when I tried to actually use it. Any insight would be helpful. Besides carrier label removal, there's a few other mods I'd like to implement. I was able to swap out the .pngs for the notification bar, but despite adding a full set of battery icons the only ones it uses are the ones corresponding to the stock battery icons, and they are fairly odd (71%? Really?) The ROM already supports 1% battery levels so it should be fairly easy to use the pngs for them, if I could recompile the apk successfully.

I'm really anticipating someone getting rid of that AT&T logo. I'm slightly OCD, and it's really bugging me.

So long as there's still a data-roaming notification, I'm cool with that... AT&T Service blows in my area, am constantly getting shuffed off to T-Mobile network (and further data charges)
if you want to look at the SystemUI.apk in NardROM 0.4 I finally managed to compile a working version with 1% battery icons, no carrier label, and no text on the quick setting toggles. Adding logic to only display roaming carrier labels would be a bit harder.
Also if you want to swap out the icons, it's really easy. Just rename the .apk and .zip and change them out and rezip. Icon changes don't require recompiling.

There is a guide here on how to decompile and recompile SystemUI that actually works .... if anyones interested

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I want a based 4.0.4 stock rom with the skyrocket icons. and The 4G icon as well. But when I changed the framework-apk it doesnt work. I dont know if im doing it right or not but would be nice if some one could make a flashable zip with these icons for all of the stock 4.0.4 based roms

tried this, definitely not working. it works for other apks like ones you download, but for the ones im looking for it does not change the icon... im guess the file i need to replace is hiding somewhere... but where is what i would like to know. Of course there could be, im editing the wrong icon.. i would think to change the phone icon i would edit phone.apk but maybe that my mistake thinking i know what i'm doing...

Hi there everyone I have been learning about theme but having some trouble getting study time with all my kids yelling and screaming all day. So far i know about .9 and samlli apk manager decompile and recompile . as well as xml files.
My issue wright now is that I don't know exactly what files to edit to get the changes I want. If there's any tut on what file changes change what, that would be aswom, like for example I want to change the over-scroll color but I have changed the images I thought would change that and nothing.. But if not can anybody tell me what I have to edit to, change the color on the status bar, and the color of the letters on the status bar like the clock. and system letters.
Thank you before hand. for taking the time to answer I know life is busy.
What exactly are you trying to do?

Yeah I remember. I already have the app modded as I use it myself.
But anything in the status bar is found in the SystemUI.apk
It is going to be an XML as well.

A no brainer way is to use the app "rom toolkit".. if u go to the playstore its actually on sale right now and its well worth the regular price let alone the sale price, i paid the full amount and couldn't be more stoked.. Its about 10 apps in one and a must have for any noob root user like myself (any user for that matter).. one of the many features is theme changer where u can change the theme, font, status bar, boot loader ect.....

Its going I just tried to recompile framework. Apk with apk manager but I get an error. And it compiles with nothing on it like 0 bits.so I'll figure it out... The only reason to use a pk manager is to b able to edit XML in a readable language right? Cause last time I didn't use apk manager and it was OK but I couldn't edit any XML cause hex just not that good with it.
