The transparency is disabled in the status bar, editing of png's wont help.
Need to decompile the framwork to see where the transparency is set.

tks for info ...
but decompile framework is too hard for me .....
so, you think that is the only way ?

I´ve read somewhere that you need to change the status_bar_tracking.xml in systemui to point the background to a drawable

Cook transparent statusbar with UOT
Use ADW Launcher and DISABLE wallpaper hack

Ok didn't work too!
It's surelly something related to the touchwiz apk file...
We should convice UOT kitchen to include an option for touchwiz roms till we have CM7 or MIUI

Hey sewe ..long time no speak lol..
Yes mate ....Im sure that is the way forward ..

I tried to edit this xml with xml marker but it's not compatible!
What's the android xml mode?

Figured out it's the status_bar.xml that need to be edited.
I did it but I am not a pro of apktool so if someone can recompile it and test it...
I just replace the color code with the filename of the png

{Solved} Help required to make Black theme Contacts & Phone.

Can anybody make black contact & phone.apk attached here. Or else let me know the step by step procedure to make the Black themed Contacs.apk & Phone.apk
I Know we need to edit some XML files like styles.xml , call_background.xml, background_dial_holo_dark.xml and also have tried but able to get the success. So please help me.

Its not that easy...
apktool-1.4.3 wont decompile Contacts.apk properly so when you recompile, it will most likely crash the Phone.apk

I am able to decompile and recompile it without any problems.
You have to just decompile with 1.4.2 apktool and compile it with 1.4.3 apktool.
Before decompiling you have to delete classes.dex from contacts.apk.
If it was not possible then how other themers are modifying contacts.apk. So themers please help me.

I would do it for you, how exactly do you want it to look?

Exactly my point... Contacts.apk has been a pain the bum since ICS got here... (with APKTOOL-1.4.3 anyway)
hence why no-one has really changed XML too much...
I think managed to get it to work though...

You're missing my point, the 2 apk's talk to each other... you change Contacts and it crashes Phone.

I think you'll find they're only changing PNGs in Contacts.apk... could be wrong but I am thinking that is the case...
Will see if any "themers" offer you some advice in this thread then...

Didn't think so...

You need to modify stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml in the drawable folder. Copy and replace the ones in the attatchment with yours and you should be good to go, if it fails again delete the public.xml in values and try once more.

Edit your styles.xml in the values folder, once you open it it's apparent what controls what.

Try the attached xmls.
And center clock overlaps with the notification ticker, so not recommended.

[Q] XPERIA-PLAY BOX IMAGE framework

Hi guys this is my first post here in xda!
I'm here to ask a thing:
When i unboxed my XPERIA PLAY I and turned it on i looked to the black status bar on the phone framework and looked to the box framework that was more beauty and was blue with white icons.
Can someone tell me if its possible to get the original blue framework like the image i have posted above, thanks in advanced, and sorry my English :S.

The photo of the box us edited with the computer. The statusbar looks on every xperia play that is on stock "ugly".
You must be rooted and edit the systemui.apk to get this

My PLAY is rooted, and i have 2.3.4 with it, what things i need to edit in systemui.apk and where do i get those files?
Thanks.

Which theme did u use?? I think its a theme effect. Try changing it to blue.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

It's not a theme effect, it's actually older amdtroid version. I remembered my friend's X10 android 2.1 stock has this battery style.

You'll need to modify the battery icons inside framework-res.apk then push it back into system. Maybe you can ask someone to theme it for you

One more thing, do a nandroid backup before you modify. And make it a flashable zip and flash it via CWM.

Sorry I cant find the background file for the dialler, it simply isnt there :/

Yea, same here I cant find it, all I found is that background_holo which is black but changing it does not affect anything

You can try custom themes which provide black dial pad skin.

Which custom themes? Tell me a few please
