Is there a thread, or a page with some info on removing different status bar icons? I'm looking to remove the USB debugging, and alarm clock icons. I've searched but all I could find was the guides for sense and I'm on CM.
I know you can hide the USB debugging in CM settings. But I would like to modify the code myself.

Go into framework-res and make all the files you don't want transparent. It might leave blank space in the status bar. If it does, delete the files you don't want. I don't know if it will work or if it will give you errors.
Yeah, it leaves the spaces. I would like to know how to remove them and the spaces. I know its possible on sense roms...

Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
I am looking for a few status bar items, there is probably more than one solution to each question.
I am looking for these status bar icons, does anyone know where i can find them? See attached picture.
I also see people with music transport buttons in the dropdown and toggles for wifi and bluetooth etc, how are people achieving these things??

The simple way is to use widgetsoid, but streak roms do not support directly pressing the buttons in the notification bar, you ahve to have it make a small pop-up menu to actually use them.
The more complex way is to modify the frameworks to directly support them without external apps, but that requires modifying the frameworks.
use UOT you can get any of those!!

it helps
cook in uot is best place to touch your taste
or, u can modifying the framework to use any other icons from any other hh
I've one doubt in uot, If I'm applying a mod like status bar mod, do I need to configure every thing or only what I want to change?
For example I just want to make my status bar transparent, so do I need to configure other things like notifications, topbar etc. too along with status bar?
"What I want to know is if uot creates a new mod and replaces it in the uploaded files or does it changes specific things in the files I provided?"

only what you want to change in fact UOT will make all necessary changes just try it but not all phones are supported
I looking for app, mod or tips how to hide ICS status bar while in webtop mode. I tried few apps but all doesn't work. Is there any solution to hide it while watching movie?
To avoid misunderstanding: I'm talking about ICS Webtop mode and status bar on the bottom, not ICS standard drop down notification bar.
Edit: IMO it's stupid to develop that kind of bar which takes about 5 - 10% of screen without possibility to hide it.
Edit: Mod is available:

The HTC One X had issues with games and movies showing on screen buttons while it was in a game/movie, much like the webtop mode does.
there was a patch released that fixed that
located here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506
possibly could steal code from them to work for us?
also looks like deodexing is needed
I found soultion in this thread but it's about CM9, I'm not sure it is even possible to apply this to ICS

I used apktool to decompile android.policy.jar and system.apk but the problem is I can't find in decompiled android.policy,jar files to edit. In diff.txt I have some files with *.xml extension which I can find and also files with *.java extension and this files I coudn't locate. All files in decompiled android.policy folder looks different then those in diff.txt
I uploaded decompiled folders and I asking for help, what files should I edit. I'm not asking to do whole job as I want finally do something on my own.

Been trying to figure out what to edit in TW JB StatusUI.apk to make the backgrounds of the actual notifications themselves transparent. Tried editing a bunch of xmls, but I've only found values for the status bar, the notification dropdown background, and the categories and whatnot in the notification dropdown.
I suspect that the files I need to edit are some of the .9.png files in xhdpi, but I've also found that I can't edit or add any 9patch files without causing SystemUI.apk to fail to recompile, so I haven't been able to test those files. Probably just doing something wrong, there, as I've never messed with those files before.
Looking through the GS3 and GN2 question forums hasn't yielded much in the way of answers for this, so I'm just going to ask here. Any ideas?
Edit: This background (from a different phone): http://s15.postimage.org/y8ad3u917/Screenshot_2012_10_03_17_59_49.png
I got my 9patch files working, still can't figure this out. I can make the status bar transparent, the notification dropdown windown transparent, the quick toggles transparent, but I just can't find what actually sets the background for the notifications themselves!
This is seriously causing me a massive headache. I've edited so many png files at this point that I think I'm losing my mind.
Hi there, willl this help?
