Notification bar 2.3.4 JVP

I want to change the color of my notification bar on JVP. Does anyone know where i should change it?
I did get the notification dropdown menu to be transparent by changing systemUI.apk but don't know where to find the background of the notification bar itself.
I really do not like the all black one, I think it makes the screen look smaller

An easy way to change the "NB" notification bar color, is to use universal androot, root your phone, then DLoad Ninjamorph, open "N morph" then click new project, select system, framework, framework-res.apk, res, drawable, then scroll to statusbar-background.png press and hold to edit color, hit menu button save your changes, backout to "N Morph front screen, tap finish project, select framework-resapk, and your done, but you will need to find clock ect, apks on your own, it shouldn't be to hard, just remember these steps. Also N Morph creates backups of the files before you edit them, just remember to move your backup to a safe place so as not to be overwritten

Nice big

I don't think that works for 2.3.4. I don't have statusbar-background.png in framework-res.apk.
I read somewhere that it's in systemUI.apk in GB? But when i change it there using adb it doesn't change.

its because its a hex color! if you decompile system-ui.apk in apk.manager and go to res/layout/statusbar you will see on the first line depending on your os search for>> android:background="#ff000000" and change to >> android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"! then go down to the very bottom where it says date view and you will see the same thing >>android:background="#ff000000" change to the same as you did above and then save and recompile!
now whenever you change your statusbar_background.png it will change to whatever you change it too!!

where can i find that system-ui.apk? i tried searching for it!!

Unrelated to your question but, how did you get your dropdown menu to become transparent?
I want to do it on my SGS running 2.3.3 and can't get a proper guide anywhere!

@yash1229 you can copy my drawable-hdpi folder to your SystemUI and you'll get transparent dropdown notification panel.

TouchWiz for JB 4.1.2 (LSJ)

I've searched a lot on this forum but couldn't find a modded Touchwiz for the leaked LSJ 4.1.2, all found are for ICS so they cannot be used.
I would like to remove the icon labels from the homescreen and from dock icons and reduce the number of screens from 7 to 3.
Does anyone have one already modded or can guide me to modify mine using apktool? (I also read on this forum that the smali file needs to be modified somehow).
Thank you!

You don't need a modded one to change the number of home screens. just 'menu > edit page' or pinch the screen and then long press on a page and drag to delete.

- Decompile SecLauncher2.apk, then
- look for variables in res/dimens.xml and res/integers.xml (maybe you will find something like homescreen_icon_textsize, or hotseat_height)
- look for icon styles in res/styles.xml (most likely you will find styles for HomeScreenIcon and/or HotSeatIcon, then you can set the value of android:textSize to 0)
- finally examine layout files in the res/layout folder. For example it is possible that the homescreen icon has a layout file, which tells you what styles / dimensions you should seek.
Good luck!

*[HOW-TO]* Change (edit/color/swap) Icons in StatusBar

This is a basic HOW TO process to change/edit the status bar icons to add some color (or change icon) to the unbelievably mundane grey icons in the AT&T status bar. I've done this on CleanROM ACE (v3.5 through v4.9) by editing “systemUI.apk” and “framework-res.apk” (res/drawable-xhdpi folders) and dropping custom PNGs into their respective folders. You should have no issue doing this on any GNote2 ROM (another forum member confirmed works on Jedi as well). I simply swapped PNGs, using the Open Archive functionality in 7-Zip. If you are just copying images files (PNGs), this zip/open-archive method is easy and quick. There is no need to decompile/recompile the apks… you only need to understand how to use 7-ZIP…. how to open/modify file archives… and use an icon editor. (instructions attached). If you want to edit or substitute xmls, smali files, you will need to decompile apk, make edits/file drops, then recompile. You will also need the AndroidManifest.xml and resources.arsc files created from the recompile to move with the other xml changes to a flashable zip
Also attached is a list of icons I changed (including two 7z files you can extract to start your icon modding madness (WiFi, data, phone signal bars, bluetooth, mute, as well as animated GPS, upload, and download) including screenshots of some of these icons, and a step-by-step process if you wish to try this for yourself. I changed 13 icons in framework-res.apk and 22 icons in systemUI.apk. These PNGs are in the res/drawable-xhdpi sub folders.
Open, read, download attachments…. hopefully this helps you customize your status bar icons. If you don't like the color theming... np, just create any color combo you want with your favorite editor (I use "Paint.NET" which is very simple to use). Comments welcome.

Thanks, anyway to change the clock? I want it blue!

If you're running CleanROM 3.3, check out Tiffany84's thread in Theme forum... there's a blue theme with center clock mod that's pretty cool. If you go that route, I'd recommend you flash that mod first, then use that systemUI to make your custom PNG changes (otherwise that mod will overwrite your systemUI)

ok I wanna do just what you described. I want to replace the 4G icons from the international systemui with the 4G LTE icon from the ATT stock status bar. Just the 4G, I still want H+ for HSPA+ and the rest just like they are.
now when I open the Systemui.apk to my surprice all icons are there and even some that I have seen in other ROMs, even for othe devices. Hhow do I make the icons i want active and hide the sotck? just renaming them? and what name should they be? I see that some icon sets start with ics_stat and some with tw_stat. I think the stock start with just stat but I am not sure because there is some LTE icon that start with that as if they were active but does not show in the status bar

Dr Evo thanks for the PM. Ok so I'm not on ClearROM, I'm trying to cooke my own ROM with mods I have found around the site for my own use. Is based on the international ROM N7105XXDLL1.
My icon serias is the international, it has the grey numerals with the arrows right under. I don't live close to a non LTE are but when I change the APN to disable LTE I get the H+ icon and so on.
Now I got the ATT 4G LTE icon working by renaming the file, but the arrows are right on top of it and when I try to delete them the Systemui.apk FC on me.
I also used the Systemui.apk for UCLAJ2 the one from The Hybrid Saurom ROM that has the nice circle battery mod but this also has the international icons and the brightness slider does not turn off as I have it turned off on the stock one.
By the way, my daily driver this is what I got so far:
1. 4x5 with wallpaper scrolling Launcher
2. Transparent multiwindow with MWC for all apps
3. Resizable Popup Browser
4. Bravia Engine
5. Ink mod for lockscreen with color choices including red and black
6. Call Recording
7. Perseus Kernel
8. 23 toogles
9. CM10 apps like Apollo player transparent, Soundsearch with history.
10. 4.2 app like DesckClock, and Gallery includes the camera
11. Debloated but kept all SamsungDive aka Remote and S-Pen functionality, and also kept DLNA funtionality as I use this with my TV and such. All tested working
Wish list:
1. Volume skip/back mod for music players
2. Battery circle mod the one Saurom is using goes perfect with the ATT status theme. Is green and changes colors to red when is almost done
3. 4G LTE icon for LTE
4. Ink mod for live wallpaper
5. CRT-off animation
Its verry fast and it does not looses any functionality. I score 2066 on Geekbench with the stock ROM I scored 2094.
OC to CPU 1.8Ghz and GPU 800Mhz I score 2256 on geekbench and 8066 on quadrant.

@ DJBBOX The "in"/"out" arrows you probably want to keep as that does show network traffic while on LTE. The ATT "4G/ LTE" icon (tw_stat_sys_data_connected_lte_att.png) covers two levels (as the "LTE" is below the 4G) so it vying for the same space as the network traffic signal arrows. Here's an option: the attached PNG ("stat_sys_data_connected_lte.png") is just "LTE" in blue... but should allow for the network traffic arrows below as well... so when you are in an LTE area, it will show "LTE" in blue, with arrows below. If that works for you, just rename my attached file ("stat_sys_data_connected_lte.png") to "stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png", and drop it in your systemUI using 7-Zip Open Archive method.

Thanks

Check the "Tiffany84" thread in the Theme forum (CleanROM theming)... she also has been kind enough to take requests (if you ask nicely!)

Updated attachments (zip format) for the PNGs... now includes the "4G LTE" icon for AT&T enthusiasts. You can pretty much do what you want... just make sure your custom PNG(s) are the exact same dimension and exact file name as the ones you are replacing in the Open Archive file.

Would be nice to have a "how to" video.

PDF (How To Instructions) updated to include 4G LTE icons...

Thanks for the tutorial. Replaced my own lte icon and looking good. Had to make several adjustments to make room for the xfer arrows and prevent them from overlapping so it took a few tries.
I used this method and ninjamorph (market) to compare. I think I prefer the app, especially since it's free, fast, and easy.

you can... but you run a higher risk of things going south when messing with live (active) system files. It's always safest to use the 'empty' flashable zip Scott made and drop your files (/system/framework and or /system/app) in appropriate folder.. then flash in recovery (recommend wiping cache/dalvik...then your flashable zip) If you want to push using Root Explorer, I would recommend you first copy your active framework-res.apk file to a safe place (external sd). Copy is the operative word... do NOT rename, delete, or move an active system file (like framework-res.apk) or you're in for a FC Maelstrom party. After you've safely copied the framework-res file, then move your 'updated' framework-res.apk first to /system folder and fix permissions (rw.r.r).. then move that file to /system/framework and replace the active one. Now reboot.

Transparent Lockscreen Bar

These is a very simple mod of our Sony Xperia S lockscreen the bar. I have completely removed the icons on the lockscreen bar, dont get me wrong, they are still there, just transparent.
Thus all you need to do is swipe your finger where the slider lies on the screen to unlock or start the camera. This makes the lockscreen more clearer with only the clock visible.
Have fun tricking people who don't know where the bar lies. :laugh:
I have attached the apk file and a screenshot.
just replace the "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk" ins system/app with the one I have provided. give proper permissions rw-r--r--
Thanks auni, whose work gave me this idea.
v2
Changelog
Now added the complete transparency mod.
The shade in the bottom of the screen is removed.
compare the two screenshots for a better idea.
rename appropriately and follow the same procedure.

anyone problem, feel free to pm me..

open root explorer, copy the file to "\system", and then change the permission like this
after that, move the file to "\system\app", overwrite if necessary

Extract Icons from Icon Packs?

what is the easiest way to extract individual icons from icon packs so you don't have to universally apply all icons within a pack?

I use nova launcher which makes this easy. Just press and hold on the icon you want changed. When the menu pops up, select settings (the cog wheel). This will bring you to a menu that you can change the icon image, name and also assign a second action when swiping the icon opposed to just tapping on it.
I hope that helps.

Yup that helps except I'd like to use the stock launcher. There you can add icons from gallery only not an icon pack so that's why I wanted to know if we can extract the pack.

The easiest thing you can do is use extract the apk using 7zip, or you can use root explorer as well if you long press on the icon pack apk and extract it as well. You can also decompile the apk and pull the images from the xxhdpi, xhdpi folders, what icon packs where you looking at, I can extract some for you and just post the zips

He is not trying to do that, he is trying to extract the icons he wants to use and put them in the gallery because he can change the actual system icon and not lose notification functionality. Its a slight different concept because you can longpress on the icons and literally change it like iconchanger, but its built in and you use images from the gallery

Yea except that it doesn't because it doesn't just theme the system icon, it creates a completely new on separate from the system and you lose the notification number, you don't need icon changer..... He just wants the icons so installing icon changer doesn't fix anything, because he still needs the icons so if you read what he is asking, he wants to extract icons

I've been on the google machine and I've gone on the line and still can't find a serviceable .png of these simple icons. I don't want to switch from the stock launcher, and simply want to replace the current icon with a different (stock android) one.
Thanks in advance.....

He only wants to extract single icon from the theme, so I think ThemeX is the right answer

So does anyone know where the system "Icon gallery" icons are kept on this G3? Which folder and what format are they?
I'd like to be able to directly place icons in there, so they come up when I try choose a system icon.
Seems there are limited LG G3 themes available at the moment from LG.
