[MOD/Tutorial] Change voodoo control app status icon

Hi everyone,
So I'm a big fan of supercurio's work with Voodoo sound, but I'm also a semi-OCD theming/graphic design nerd, lol.
So I made a couple gingerbread style status icons, and found a way to enable them in the voodoo control app, and thought I'd share them for anyone else that's interested.

}

Download whichever icon you prefer (please note, that the white space in both icons is actually "negative" space, so that will be transparent, and inherit the color of your status bar) and make sure its named stat_notify_icon.png
Then decompile the voodoo control app (I used apk manager), and browse to /smali/org/projectvoodoo/controlapp and open VolumeManager.smali
Change line 846 in VolumeManager.smali to:
Code:
const v9, 0x7f020002
Save and close that file, and navigate to /res/values and open Public.xml
Right after
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="icon" id="0x7f020001" />
Add the following line, then save and close:
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="stat_notify_icon" id="0x7f020002" />
Now copy the icon into /res/drawable-hdpi
Finally, compile, sign (zipalign if you want) and install.
Make sure you uninstall your old version first, or this will fail to install because of the signature mis-match.
Anyway, hope someone else likes this, and Supercurio is free to use either icon in the app if he wants.
Cheers everyone, =)

for your theme it's not a png ...you got to change the xlm (systemui.apk) and the name is :
systemui/res/layout/status_bar.xml

SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.9.png

Easy way, which is not easy, is to learn how to edit the systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk ..
There is no "simple" way to change these without flashing a new theme ...

Which apk/'s would i need to decompile and edit?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Update;
Android ApkTool Tutorial Extremely helpful..
Setup apktool on linux
installed frameworks with apktool, since was changing settings.apk required both frameworks to be installed..
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Once framework installed decompile the settings.apk (case sensitive)
Code:
apktool d Settings.apk out
apktool d (decompile) Settings.apk (/locaation/apk/) out (folder name for after decompiled)
Once decompiled go to folder.. mine which is named out in home directory..
/res/drawable-hdpi/ location of the pngs (pictures seem blown up but i think thats flickr)
ic_settings_icon_juggernaut.png
ic_settings_applications.png
now to change colors of png and recompile...
TO BE CONTINUED!

[Q] Notification Bar Header Transparency

Does anyone know how to modify the transparency of the notification bar header? I've tried editing drawables.xml but no luck and I cant seem to find a png linked to it. Any ideas? I've only had this problem on BAMF ROM. I've uploaded the theme chooser apk im using if someone wants to take a look.
Thanks
In the pic below it looks fully opaque, but it's not.

You need to compile the systemUI.apk from ROM source.

It should some what be the same.

notification_header_bg.9 is not included as a themed item in that apk you provided. To add it you would need to decompile the bamf apk add in edited image and add appropriate lines to the systemUI xml and recompile and sign. You know though if you make it trans it's gonna look pretty funny with all that crap overlaying.
good day.

Haha thanks man, I cant believe I didn't find that png. That's all i needed. It's strange because with other themes I've only needed to change the color in the drawable.xml, there was no png. Right now it's transparent and looks like crap on my phone with purple tint. I'm changing it to be fully opaque.

Can this be done?

Here's what I have so far for a homescreen. I really want the top center clock to be white, and if it all possible the wifi/signal bars to be white as well. Something simple like MIUI. Also, is there a way to hide the vibration/silent icon from the notification bar? Any dice??

I don't have any dice, but I'll have a look for you.
What rom are you on?

if you extract and upload the SystemUI.apk from whatever ROM you are using, i can make a few of the edits you are asking for. i will also write out the steps for you if you want to try it yourself or do it again in the future. it's actually pretty simple to modify a lot of these images with 7-zip and a photo editor.
1. open (open, not extract.) the ROM archive with 7-zip. browse to system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi.
2. locate the following files and extract them:
stat_sys_signal_1_fully.png
stat_sys_signal_2_fully.png
stat_sys_signal_3_fully.png
stat_sys_signal_4_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_1_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_2_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_3_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_4_fully.png
stat_sys_ringer_silent.png
stat_sys_ringer_vibrate.png
3. edit the images so that the bar color is white, and edit the silent/vibrate images so that they are totally transparent (blank).
4. save those images, and drag them back into the drawable-xhdpi folder in 7-zip. say "yes" to the prompts about overwriting files or changing/updating the archive.
5. you can now flash that ROM file as is. 7-zip won't mess up the signatures. or if you don't want to flash the whole ROM over, you can simply extract the SystemUI.apk and do the edits in the apk file directly. then you can push the apk back to your phone.
the clock color in the status bar will need an XML edit or two, which is unfortunately a bit over my head, but this will at least get you most of the way there in your vision for your homescreen.
