Notifications Drawer Handle - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I want to change the notifications drawer handle image. I want to increase the height of the image ! I tried changing the drawable after but the compiled version does not work ! Please help ! Thanks a lot !

i'm afraid you cant change the height, but look in xml files in framework, you might find something there, you can change transparency, color and add text to it via UOT kitchen

Thanks ! I've done that already ! Actually,I wanted to make something like the Honeycream theme for cyanogen ! How can I possibly achieve that ?
Also UOT kitchen gives error ! I've tried to use it !

UOT kitchen works for me check this- http://db.tt/UsHMjvnK

Used stock 2.3.4 framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk right ? This doesn't work for me !
Also can't there be any way to change notifications bar handle ? Then how has it been done in the Honeycream theme ?

yes, are you using custom rom?

No ! Stock 2.3.4 !

then try modifying through UOT kitchen and replace the handle image in flashable zip

I can if you know how to integrate/add files to your framework-res.apk. It cannot be done with MetaMorph tho.
Is there a guide or something I can follow and achieve it? Or could u give instructions on how to?

Sure, there are several guides and HOWTOs on XDA (Chef Central, Desire Development...) on how to theme, repack, sign and everything. There are even several tools available that let you do all these steps in one swoop. I'm sorry but I can't guide you through all of that but if you have a will to do it, you will find a way through, of that I'm sure.

thanks for advice, I will start learning
our Legend lack of developers
not working on froyo... can u make it work Froyo??
@BlaY0: How to apply this theme? It looks realy nice!
install like any rom!
why this not working with ur rom i install it in rom manager??
I don't think this theme is a ROM Manager flashable ZIP file...
Maybe we must use some theming app?

thanks... now its installed but its not transparent its black only...=)
what should i do??
You have to decompile, edit and recompile classes.dex in services.jar. BTW it needs to be deodexed. It will be included in B 0.2.

Can you add one more modification in B 0.2, please?
I will like to see the new gingerbread style when you click menu button (white icons and text on black background).
Is this posible? I almost succeeded with some editing in framework-res.apk...
0.2
New version...
BlaY0,
Any chance to switch notifications itself to black background and white text? Curious why you didn't make it - hard to change or you just like white notifications?

creating theme for arc

hello
im new in android world and specialy xperia arc
i know how to install roms and other stuff and i have so many problems with my phone and i solved them like battery 0% and ...
i have a question about how can i make my own theme , i wanna customize everything status bar buttons icons and ... i don wanna use go luncher and sth like that.
i wanna do everything from zero to hero
please let me know what should i do and if there is a link can u refer me to it please thanks a lot. and god bless you
i wanna create a theme to make my arc looks like xperia x8 , u know i love the corner buttons of x8
thanks again
theme is base on
- system/framework/framework-res.apk
- system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
- system/app/SystemUI.apk
- system/app/Home.apk
basic , You can change all *.png to your style , open & extract apk using winRAR and replace old file using winRAR again.
- save change edited apk
- copy new edited apk to internal memory (/xxx /yyy /root) , change file permission (rw-r--r--) , move file to overwrite old apk target
-always change files permission! before paste & overwrite!! (if not , bootloop!!)
- about Home.apk is Xperia main launcher , before you overwrite apk you must change default launcher to 3rd party launcher (if not , may be bootloop!!)
EDIT:
Delete please, other guy was faster

And finally got solution over it ! Its similar to the statusbar from CyanogenMod BUT this one is more cool in look !!
You can add remove and arrange the power widgets in statusbar as you want and also apply settings without reboot ! This is for Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) Users with Android 2.3.4 OS as i have tested it on my SK17i
It also worked on Xperia Mini and Live (Tested by users...)
Active users can try at their own risk ! And please report if it works....

Firstly extract "Xperia Nero v1 (Power Widgets).zip" anywhere you want and follow these method.
Method 1 :
1] Install QuickPanelSettings.apk
2] And Just Copy " Xperia Nero v1.zip " directly to SD CARD and flash it using CMW
And you are done !
Method 2 :

Yes you can use it with UOT kitchen and I can say it would be better to re modify these apk file as you want instead of porting look of old SystemUI.apk, as it takes more efforts than redesigning
thanks for reply. I have tried using this in UOT Kitchen but when i flash it back on to my phone the status bar widgets are gone. ANy ideas?

This might be due to 2 reasons first is you might have added header or carrier lable that will cause you to loose power widgets
or the layout,choose mdpi layout and make sure tou haven't added any non compatible widget icons like blue icon pack...
rest it shouldn't happen as i have tested them on uot before i answer you
method 2 does not require unlocked bootloader right? just rooted phone?
update - my UOT Kitchen'ed version of framework and systemui works if i perform a factory reset and then apply. but then i lose all my stuff, so i have restored my backup. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and then flashing zip but that applies my theme but without toggles :-s I'm so confused

No method 2 needs only rooted phone to use root explorer or similar software to copy apk files
These software requires root access...no need of unlocked bootloader..

This shouldn't happen,though you try following steps
firstly extract my apk files from my work (systemui and framewor-res both)
Upload them to uot and modify as you want
download and extract the modified uot files (systemui and framework-res both) and replace your origianl apk files from phone memory by giving properpermission as mention above in method 2
Reboot and it should work ...
and be sure you don't mess with header and carrier label through uot ! Cause i have restricted them in my work for stability.

live
On my live I've just used systemUI.apk and it works perfectly.
I just don't like the status bar color... I would like to change it to the original black, but i don't know how..
If someone can change this for me, I would be very grateful
On this mod, for what is the framework, what it will do?

Can you explain what you meant by horrible graphics ?
Did it gave you any glitches or else ? cause it worked on Mini as told by one user...
And if you want to revert back to old look then just replace SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk of old rom with proper perimissions that i mentioned above and you will get your old look back... (I hope you had made a backup of these files or Nandroid backup before you used my work )
I noticed a small problem in Quick panel
Pressing mobile data, which indicates the light on or off is not quenched. He turns on and off mobile data, but the indicator light remains lit.

It depends if ur using ics. If its ice then u need to mod SystemUI.apk from system/app but if its not then u need to mod framework-res.apk in system/framework. I suggest looking up a tut for the Modding because it is a long process

If you just want to replace icons with others, all you need do is use 7zip or similar to open the apk file and literally just swap the existing icons with some new ones.
If you want to add icons, or change how they're displayed, then you're looking at decompiling.
Need help !
Can I jus replace the contacts.apk , phone.apk and get a new look or can I jus replace the PNG's on those APK's ?
Or , should I have to deal wit' the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk ?
Also , is there any way that I can extract the icons from an icon pack ??
Check this thread. You will find what you are looking for.

It's not easy, you need to recompile framework-res.apk. But you can use UOT Kitchen, it's online tool to change icons in framework-res.apk: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
