I have made this theme and I think its not bad.
Feel free to try it out !
P.S. it only works correctly on Android 1.6 E10i/E15i firmware
Instructions :
1. Root is a must!
2. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk
3. adb shell
4. su
5. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
6. busybox cp /sdcard/fr-black.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
8. reboot your X10 mini
apps.zip has standard apps with HTC icons, extract them in /system/app/
If your phone gets stuck on booting after playing with framework or some other stuff, I've found a way to repair it without reflash :
restart phone, connect it to usb
in adb shell run rootshell command again to gain root (wise to keep it after rooting), the "su" won't work cause it depends on gfx libs and they are not started yet..
mount sdcard with this command : mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
and put your backed files where they belong.
Good luck!
27/10/10 new version of my black theme for X8 (E15i) released.
25/09/10 Updated framework-res, some small details.
27/09/10 Added colourful theme, status icons are not b/w any more!
29/09/10 "Black" theme updated, now its more or less final!
07/10/10 Uploaded somewhat updated framework, not sure if its better or worse, so keeping the old one too. newframe.rar
P.S. don't forget to backup anything important to you, Sony Backup tool works pretty well btw.
screenshot^^?
Will it replace the default Blue theme or install as separate theme ?
Will it occupy additional Phone memory or replace Blue theme without consuming additional mem.
Lastly a screenshot please.

It replaces it, but be careful. It's best to back up the default framework-res.apk just in case.
This looks very interesting. Pics would be very nice though ;P
Any way to do just the status bar?
Looks good. Any chance you could get rid of the remaining blue?
Thanks! I was getting really tired of the glaring blue. Much appreciated!

Just copy it over to the SD card. This might work, but I've never tried it myself so not really sure.
su
cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/backup-framework-res.apk
If not, someone else already posted a copy of the original file in another thread anyway
pulpoff, great job
I like this Framework-res.apk ! (but also the grey one is not bad... boh are better than SE blue!!! )
unable to install...............its keep on saying busybox not found
cant install. it cant find the files or something..

Nice Job man!

Wow ! Very nice work !
Many thanks
I like the look of the theme, thanks! Is there a way to enter these commands on a macos system or is this only available via windows? I am on a trip for the next month and only have my macbook with me, no windows installed on this system yet.

The last step is optional and by "standard apps" you mean to say the default apps of X10 mini which have been modded with HTC icon. Isn't it?
BTW I have installed your theme. I find a small problem. In some screens a whitish font is displayed on whitish background making it difficult to read. Say, when I pull down the "Notification" screen the "Clear" button on top right is displayed with whitish font on whitish background. Is it a problem in my phone (should not be I think) or its general. If its general - can it be made more readable by darkening the font? I am talking about your first version. Meantime, it seems you have uploaded another modified version in which I don't know if you have taken care of this.
Anyway, yours is a very good attempt to change the theme. Thanks for your effort we have a option to go for a second theme.
Lastly, is there a way to keep multiple themes installed and select one as and when mood changes?
Installed it myself, looks awesome, just a few issues:
- A lot of buttons have dark backgrounds and dark blue text which is hard to read, like the Market Install, Open, etc buttons.
- The clear button is white text on a light grey background like the person above said, which is also hard to read.
- Tabs on apps look odd, for example the Dialer app has white icons on the light grey BG for the inactive tabs. Other apps like Nimbuzz have white inactive icons and black active icons, making both hard to see.
Great work though, I'm glad to be rid of that nasty blue ^^
What about RAM consumptions. It seems that this custom Black theme is consuming a bit more RAM than the default blue. ANy opinion on this.
Hey all,
This is a black notification bar for Dj Steves froyo 1.0 only and blue wifi icon as the stock is black. Will need root and root explorer or alt file explorer.
1. Download notificationbar1.0.zip.
2. Extract services.jar and framework-res.apk from zip to SDCARD.
3. Backup current framework-res.apk and services.jar in /system/framework.
4. Mount /system/framework as RW, and copy services.jar then framework-res.apk from step 2 into the folder.
5. After file copies, phone will reboot and you will have black notification bar and new wifi icons and white text!
To restore old services.jar and framework-res.apk, simply perform same steps except copy over the backed up files.

I actually switched to Launcher pro. Lot more options and I like the interface alot more than AWD.
The other part is changing density on the screen back to 160. This is in the build.prop and need to change the line ro.sf.lcd_density=160.
Nice work mate keep it going
Ok as promised I have added white font to the notification bar. Right now when you receive a text or plugin usb the message is in black font. I set it to white but some other file is overriding. I'll post another update when I have it settled.
I'm going to try this now, thanks.

Great little mod but ive figured out that it stops flash from working in the browse for some reason. Reverted back and all fine. Would love it if flash worked too

Hmm try reinstalling flash after you have the bar. flash is working fine here

I am running the first update-new, old base band. The thing is though, the two files should have no effect on flash. Tonight I am going to be installing the update-newv2 and will see what difference that makes. DJ_Steve has not added flash into the rom nor has he modified either framework-res.apk or services.jar.
So in your words "just says install latest flash" and did you install flash again? Is it throwing an error when trying to reinstall flash?
i get a link to install flaelsh instead of the flash animation. I click it and it redirects me to the market place where strangely i have to log back into my google.mail. Then it just shows uninstall so i do that then reinstall it and still no flash.
Didnt think those files would effect flash until someone mentioned the same problem, both of us reverted back to the original files and everything ok again.
Have noticed after first boot when changing files all my widgets dont work straight away and orignal wallpaper etc is back. Also have to log back into google.mail sync etc.
Will have another go and reboot a few times to makes sure because i really like this mod
Edit: working now, rebooted after uninstall and bebooted after reinstall, great mod just need the bottom menu in black now to finish it off. Cheers for the help

I was poking around in there for based off another thread but this is the thread i am looking for thanks!
Also I was able to recreate the flash problem after updating to v2. It seems on Steve's new v2 that once reinstalled flash still dont work. So this problem only affects those on the new v2, anyone using the first update-new should be ok to reinstall flash and continue streaking. I will get this solved shortly and look into meltus' thread for the rest of the font color.
Interesting its working fine now on v2. Follow all the steps. Then copy over services.jar one more time and power cycle phone. also make sure system, and framework are mount RO after copying the files.
The culprit seems to be services.jar. For whatever reason it doesn't play nice with the new build.
I had some guys on irc test this. Both on v2, one guy had no problems with flash after following steps. Other guy had the flash problem. He fixed by uninstalling flash, reinstalling flash, reboot phone and testing flash again.
Thanks homeiss and egrouse for testing!
Awesome thanks, I had just finished moaning about the ugly taskbar in the Froyo beta when I found this. The taskbar looks great, just needs some work on getting the rest of the text white, and get the icons looking like a set. Though would be great if the whole pulldown was dark or grey to match if possible. Installed fine on my Streak, reinstalled flash from the market and all is good.
Really appreciate the work quikt.

Hi all.
I've been trying for some time now to get rid af this annoying bar. Eventually, i found out that i can't do it myself, and i need som help.
Objective: Removing the blue bar in the bottom of the screen, if you have changed your input method to another configuration than the roms.
Tries so far:
In system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts, i've tried to copy the settings from qwerty-no-dk.xml in to all other files (azerty.xlm, cyrillic.xml and so on). with this i managed to get every language selected to write the danish æåø, but when i deselect standard input, i stil get the original layout.
Tried to rename the Keyprint name: in the keyprint.xml - no effect.
Anyone wanna give it a try?
Regards, Heien.
The bar that has the time, date and signal?
I suposse that is the blue bar of the keyboard when opening the phisical keyboard. I also hates it
yep me too.. it is annoying when browsing it covers the lower part of the page
the .png is located in the SuquashiInputMethod.apk & can be modified to have other colors, i'll try to make it transparent, but give it not more than a shot into the blue, i have done it once on 1.6 & no alphablending enabled, so may just result in grey/black bar at bottom.
what u need:
go find Theme Reference Thread in X10 Dev Forum, read the part with .xml decompilation & recompilation & then find the damn .xml blamable for the icon to be shown.
simply delete image call & bar is gone
edit: digged into it further & decompiled suquashi
xml blamable found in /res/layout-land/querty-statusbar.XML
trying to get rid of it now
hmm seems like my decompiled files already contained failures, fc after managing to get it installed
hmm seems working..??
still not wanted effect..
how to define transluscent background of a relative view, if view needs 1) background & 2) background is not shown only by changing backgroundimage to transluscent
seems also to be on same lvl as "real" screen content..
remove SuquashiInputMethod.apk
I don't use the se keyboard. I removed SuquashiInputMethod.apk.
I don't have that problem And Swype is wonderfull
Yeah the easiest way to get rid of it is to use a different keyboard application.
I'm Currently using Swiftkey..
when using different kb, do you have symbols dialog & the other features from hardware keyboard?
hmm
Numbers you can, Caps you can
no smilies,no ascented characters-from physical keyboard
Smiles and ascented character can be inputed from soft keyboard
I do not believe that we need to get rid of the bar by changing in the xml and image files, i believe that we somehow should be able to alter the default input somewhere (as we did to get out custom languages working) to support our native input method. When i recieved the phone from 3 (in denmark) the language bar was hidden, althrough my input was with danish characters, and this is the effect i'm trying to achieve.

I've been looking at the same issue, and is quite annoyed. I think you're right in your assumption with the xml files - apparently i can only find the apk unzippers not the decompilers (dont have computer). The keyboard asis should be capable of functioning in the way we are looking for - on my device when i run terminal emulator the keyboard essencially does what i want (though the cursor in the terminal doesn't show keyboard state - symbol/shifted), and have experinced other situations when this giant bar of blue death finally dissapeared

try this:
1) in your home folder in apktool/framework folder you will find 1.apk open it with 7 zip.
2) pull framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/ extract resources.arsc, replace it with one in 1.apk.
3) Now try decompiling/compiling.
PS: if may not find the apktool folder if you clean all projects, load the project try decompiling ( it will create the apktool folder in your home) now try decompiling again
Hi, can anyone explain me how to change statusbar colour in my Xperia step by step ? And also, how to change icons there ?
Step 1 root your phone (forum)
Step 2 install busy box and Super user find on market
Step 3 install xRecovery (forum)
Step 4 GO forum look for theme you want and download (same version as your phone)
Step 5 reboot phone go into xrecovery install custom zip/SD card click on theme
Step 6 reboot phone
i would also like to change the notification bar. is there a way to change the notification bar only not the whole theme. i have a freex10 with cyanogen mod.
For that, i dont think is any way. Except thru ROM.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You would have to pull the framework-res.apk file out and decompile it, replace specific images and push it back into the phone.
Go to the UOT kitchen and change what you want.

Please sorry for my English. Help ... I want to install but copy phone.apk system / app says that the application was installed and is not exiting the application factory.
I can do ... I also want to change the original lock screen, but I do not know which file I should change ...
I have original 2.1 eclair
thanks.
try this:
Install root explorer (I´m sure, you can find it here by using the search-button), then go to the folderwhere your new phone.apk is, and copy it. then go to system/app, mount it as "rw" and paste it, and then I recommend you to reboot.

Had already tried, but still keeps showing the original application, and when trying to install from system / app says "the application was not installed"...
Any ideas? with respect to lockscreen, what is the application that performs this function?
phone.apk cannot be "installed". it needs to be "pushed" into /system/app
as for lockscreen, u can either change theme or find lockscreen programs... there are a few in the market.
if u do not know how, i suggest u do a little more finding all the answers are somewhere
After moving an app to system/app, set the permission of the app to rw-r--r-- (Root Explorer)

There is already an installed application (system)
Phone.apk application is not installed because there is an application system that must be replaced, but look for it in system / app and I not find that application, if you know the name (I have the stock rom) to tell me to remove it and install the new application (I think it might not be in system / app, but I do not know where else might be).
Thank you.
In the stock rom the phone application is called SemcPhone.apk

Indeed, that is. But it does not let me install the application. says "The application has not been installed", even replacing the message application to install.
And when I call, show an error in the process android.process.acore.
If someone has done this before, please guide me.
R u crazy? Phone.apk cannot be installed/replaced under Android is running! Deleting phone.apk causes force-closes and boot-loop. Only way to change phone.apk is ADB under xrecovery.

funny~ i ALWAYS change phone.apk when android is running works fine so far. hehe. of course i use ADB tho
I´ve modified the reframe.sh by propc for semcphone.apk....just download it and extract it to the root of your sdcard (with your computer or your X8 by using a file manager)
Then install terminal Emulator (if you don´t have it already) and type
Code:
sh mnt/sdcard/SEMCphone.sh
and it should react and show you some text like "replace SEMCphone by propc (modified by codfreak).
This should also work with ADB, but I think Terminal E. is easier
You can also use it for replacing ANYTHING, just open the file on your computer with notepad and rewrite the filenames and directorys.

Yes, I'm crazy ... But thanks to you I remembered that I could change the framework with a script, modify it and it worked SemcPhone.apk to change (replace) the phone restarts, but then as if it had apacerece signal and not making calls.
Please, if someone has changed some StockRom SemcPhone.apk 2.1 per phone.apk tell me how.
Thank you.

think the same idea (I modified de script with office suite in the phone ), but does not work the apk ... I do not know what to do, I have the phone.apk for eclair. and does not work.
Hello, I discovered that the recovery is easier to install, I used a zip signed which contained a framework and add the phone.apk renamed SemcPhone.apk. But the different versions of phone.apk I tried did not work on my stock rom. If you know of any version can be installed, if they have already done so, please comment.
deleted android dialer (oops)
hello, I have a samsung galaxy tab 7 running froyo2.2:" did something stupid, I unistalled the wrong dialer using Ti backup. Its called android dialer. and of course i am experience a hic-cup.
