[Q] how to change statusbar / notification bar background image ?

hi
i am running insertcoin 1.0.9 (stock hboot)
i really want to change the background of my statusbar from the default black to a semi transparent white grey one i have attached below
i am sure this has been done but i just cant seem to find how to do it step by step
this cant be done in UOT Kitchen (AFAIK) because i cant upload the image i want the statusbar to be
i think this is possible by using metamorph but i couldnt find a step by step guide
i would prefer to edit framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and com.htc.resources.apk manually - but i've heard that it cant be done directly by changing the .png files in the drawable folder
please help......
would really appreciate......
thank you

anyone???
pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.........

It is very easy on MUIU or CM7 ROM with theme manager, but on stock rom you must modify systemUI.apk for that.

You're wrong mate, battery icons are situated in framework-res.apk not in systemUI.apk
To modify the battery icons,
-Extract the framework-res.apk from your rom.
-Rename it to .zip
-copy the battery icons that you want and paste them to res/drawable hdpi or hdpi v4 depending of roms.
That's it.

Yes you're right. I made ​​a mistake. The SystemUI.apk contains wifi, gps, GSM, 3g, 4g and quick panel icons not battery. Thanks for correction.

Bro, what program do I need to do what you mentioned above? And how to save back to the framework-res.apk? Any guide or reference? I love the bubble icon an I wish to cook mine. Thanks

Hi,
You need winrar or winzip to open the framework-res.zip (it's initially framework-res.apk that you need to rename as explained before)
both programs are downloadable for free...just ask Mr google and he'll provide you the links for download

Or you can customise a lot of this in a web interface: UOT kitchen
(google it)
Many of the bat-mods (+ other theme) have been available in UOT kitchen since long time ago.

Hi,
The drawable hdpi is inside /res
when you rename framwork-res to .zip double click on it then you'll see folder named "res" double click on it and you'll find drawable hdpi file that contains the battery icons and other things.
The link is working correctly, I'll see later when I go home if I can upload elsewhere .

On my phone (Onecosmic's ICS Port RC1) the icons actually had to be put into SystemUI.apk.
I tried the trick with framework-res.apk but it didn't work. After I dropped the icons into the right folder in SystemUI.apk, the thing started working.
One peculiar thing though. My battery icon says 71%, but battery stats in Settings say 73%.

Strange..I haven't tried ICS yet but it's good to know that files have been relocated elsewhere.
All the Ics roms for SGS available until now are in beta stage and there are many things not working as it should be.
The battery icons are not the problem for you but it's maybe a bug with the rom itself.
Try to ask about it in the rom thread.

[Q] Where to find the status bar pattern in SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk

Hi guys, I'm looking for the status bar pattern in the SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk in order to change it into a full transparent white through ZipThemer (and finally have a transparent status bar in 4.2.2 stock :victory
But there's so many png in those files that I don't know which one I should use
Can you guys help me ?
Many thanks !
PS : Here are my files if you want to check quickly : https://www.box.com/s/4ij73xgwutyin6bmmkih

Next time, try Google search if you aren't comfortable with xda search.
Literally the first link when I searched for "status bar png systemUI.apk"
Please read the entire thread before you do anything. The instructions in the OP are flawed.

With the new roms this is not an option as it is no longer a png file file a combo of color codes thoughout the systemui and framework res. It took me 3 months to find all the changes to redirect it to a png

I'm not sure I understand your post. You mean I have to change .xml files to apply a transparent status bar ? That is not a problem with ZipThemer, right ?

What I mean depending on your rom is that you will have to adjust the color codes. Your issues is that the main place one of these changes needs to be made are in a place tat cant be adjusted with zip themer.

You would have to decompile the both Framework-res apk and the systemui.apk and make about 15 xml edits to redirect it to an image and then remove a few places. Then recompile the apks and then flash them. This would have to be done for each rom you flash.
What are you trying to do over all?

4.2.2 stock with some mods (beats louder, a custom battery in status bar, a new locking...)

I agree that I have no idea why CM doesn't add this in their most recent ROM's, making the statusbar transparent is such an improvement to the UI immediately

[Q] How to replace statusbar icons with the icons from a theme?

Hi Everyone,
I got an other question.I'am using AOSP ICS mmb rom,currently.I want to change its statusbar icon with icons from a theme.I have bought CM10/CM9 Touchwiz theme,from it I want to replace stock icons.I have changed the icons once,but it was from another ROM.
Can anyone tell me which files I must have to copy from touchwiz.apk to systenUI.apk because Touchwiz.apk has all the icons for firmware-res.apk and systemUI.apk.
Can any one help me on that.......

Hi guyz,
I have learned how to change the icons from the theme(thanks to my mind ).But the problem is that the icons are way to big and doesn't fit on SG Gio's screen.

I don't know for exact size, but my advice to determine appropriate size enough extracted (using Winrar) apk file that you want to modify!
after apk file is extracted, check the res folder (the folder where the files are xml and icon files)

[MOD][4.1.2][6.2.B.0.200][DEODEXED] Smaller On Screen Buttons

Today I will bring to you smaller on screen buttons to our Xperia S. As well as you know ,if you enable navigation bar by adding to build.prop the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" it will make you phone laggy. I modded some files and made the navigation bar much more smaller ,so it became more beautiful and the phone works very smooth ,without lags!
Note#1:
Tried only on 6.2.B.0.200 FW with niaboc79 "framework.jar" from his Honami's launcher port. So it's better to flash this port to get it work before using my mod. So that means that you must have a deodexed rom to apply my mod.
Note#2:
Before using this mod ,make a nandroid backup in CWM and also backup the files "SystemUI.apk" ,"framework-res.apk" & "framework.jar". I'm not responsible to any damage that will happen if you don't know how to use and install this mod.
Installation:
1. Download these 3 files:
framework-res.apk
framework.jar
SystemUI.apk
If you want transparent navigation bar & status bar download this zip
2. Copy them to your sdcard and with any file explorer move them manually to the folder "system".
3. Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and move framework-res.apk + framework.jar to the folder system/framework. It will ask to overwrite these file ,click yes.
4. Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and move SystemUI.apk to the folder system/app. It will ask to overwrite these file ,click yes.
5. Reboot you device into recovery and wipe cache partition + wipe dalvik cache.
6. If you want transparent UI ,move framework-res.apk + framework.jar to the folder system/framework ,reboot and flash the zip Transparent UI.
6. Done.
Known Bugs:
*Navigation bar overlap the camera buttons.
Status bar is transparent anywhere ,navigation bar only on home screen.
*Find and tell me
Screenshots(Big!):

For me making this mod
Enjoy and give your feedback! This is my first mod

:good: Glad to see you got it sorted, and made a good contribution to this section. Copying and changing permissions gets tiresome when you've got a few files to install so this POST might be of interest to you.

the transparency is not full...there is a part that is not transparent, I can see it also on your screen shot...BTW I manage to remove the overlaping of the camera button to the OSB, and I didn't use your systemUI apk file...I just disabled the capacitive hardware keys and there it goes,,the OSB button automatically hides and show. here is a screen shot..I do not want to upload so I just attached it..take a look please..
BTW can you make it full transparent??Thanks a lot =)
The problem I encountered is that when changing the resolution of the camera to a aspect ratio of 4:3 there is a big black portion on the screen
