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.

Hey all,
This is a black notification bar for froyo only and blue wifi icon as the stock is black. Will need root and root explorer or alt file explorer. I am still working on changing the font to white. Its a matter of editing services.jar and right now any edits I've made causes my streak to lock on Dell boot screen.
1. Download notificationbar.zip.
2. Extract framework-res.apk from zip to SDCARD.
3. Backup current framework-res.apk in /system/framework.
4. Mount /system/framework as RW, and copy 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!
To restore old framework-res.apk, simply perform same steps except copy over the backed up file. I will post an update when the fonts are fixed.

Just a quick question! How did you made the AWD's Dockbar and the icons in it so big??

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.

Hope you enjoy! Also wanted to mention theres other ways to copy like through adb. Using an explorer i find is easiest.
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

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.

Awesome, looking forward to it.
First and foremost, before installing this ZIP through Tenfar's recovery, you MUST have GingerBlur v4 already installed!
GingerBlur files/instructions can be found HERE!
* Please DO NOT ask for assistance with rooting or installing GingerBlur in this thread, follow the link above and ask there!
**THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED BY ME (ON MY OWN HANDSET) USING GINGERBLUR v4 (4.1.83 based)**
This theme is a compilation of graphics both original by me and from MANY other themes including:
Watermark'd
ShadowFrost
URBaN
ProDX Red
Criskelo ROM for I9000
I DO NOT ACCEPT DONATIONS! If you like my work please follow the hyperlinks for the original sources and donate there!
* Special thanks to DesignGears and kennethpenn for providing me assistance in editing some of the system files!
THEME FILES DOWNLOAD
*MultiUpload Link this time, 4shared has been flakey lately
Reserved (10char)
[EDIT] Running this with GingerBlur 4.5 - working great with NO issues..
Nice work man!! This looks great!!
Thanks! I JUST finished updating the OP with install instructions and I also attached a RAR file with the dock/icons to use if you wanted to make LauncherPro look just like it does in the screenshots.
Also, while I like red and/or blue themes, my wife likes purple so I'll probably be working on a GrapeBlur theme next.
If anyone tries pushing these files to a release other than 4.1.57 (such as Adeo or Gingerblur based on 4.1.52) I would be interested to know the results!
Looks great sir, thanks for the work.
Looks great man, thanks for putting this together. One question though, is it posible to make a blue theme as I love blue!
Thanks for great work! One question though, any errors during the deodexing process?

I had one error, I think it was on PhotoEditor.apk and PhotoEditor.odex. I've seen or used a built-in photo editor so I just removed those then restarted the deodex process for apps and it completed successfully.
just tried deodexing and yes, getting the same errors from the two apks as well. Ok thanks for the heads up will try again
Successfully applied the theme!
Found 1 bug. The clock in notification bar is black in mine instead of white. Any idea why?
This might be a nobrainer but, if I change the icon files inside the apk and then push it to my phone will it still work? In this way will I be able to make my own 4.1.57 themes?
hey.. i am sorry to ask this how am i suppose to install the grapeblur and the launcherpro.. i have no idea .. i am soo sorry to ask such a dum question.. but this is my first time with an android
okay I may be kinda slow how do I make use of the launcherpro files?
hey how would you install cherryblur in the first place.. i have my phone deodexed and all but having trouble knowing how to install cherryblur...
Beautiful theme and I love battery icon... what clock app are you using?

You added a few icons to the /drawable-hdpi directory. Do you actually use them via the xml files, or are they just remains of whatever framework-res.apk you used?

yes
just get framework-res.apk, back it up, open it with winrar.
drag and drop the files, of the same name, that you would like to replace into the open winrar window. choose normal and 'add and replace', then close the window to save. replace the one in system/framework with your modified version.
Be sure to set the priviledges correctly after you copy into system/framework.
They should match the original, full read and user write.
Thats how I made this.
Edit: Every time I replace the framework-res.apk I lose my google, twitter, and facebook accounts. Anyone know why, all I'm doing is replacing images.

The instructions are on the first page, but you need to be at least somewhat familiar with adb.

When you long press on any of the icons in the dockbar of LauncherPro you should see an option to change the icon. You need to have the icons/dock I attached saved to your sdcard ahead of time so you can choose "custom" for the icon and select the graphic you want to use.
For the dock you go to Menu -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Dock Background
* Pretty sure that's correct, but my phone is in on the charger in my bedroom where my wife is sleeping so I don't want to accidentally wake her up.

You can make home dock transparant too. So it will suit your theme.

Hi!
I'd like to try "the first 3 mods", so please upload when possible
okay I will upload them later, and I'm thinking about implementing the transparant home dock
edit : uploaded the files for only mods 1-3 should I upload the zip for recovery to ?

I use the app from Doomlord for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123576
yes it will because it is another framework-res.apk but I can try to implement it, for now you can use the systemUI only, this will give you the transparant statusbar and notification background without the rest
edit :will add in theme, added in my to do list
I tried it now (but only systemui.apk yet), thanks!
However you got me a little curious: Have you tried to make it totally transparent (both statusbar and notification background)?
Of course it would make it hard to read if you have a bright background but for me that uses my own Monochrome (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129129) I think it would be nice.
You mean the white behind the text of a notification ?
Hi,
I meant the semi-transparent background in both cases. However, I tested a little in Paint.net and I don't think it would be a good idea to have the statusbar completely 100% transparent, it's fine as it is.
The notification backgound, I think that could be even more transparent without looking strange? Today it looks a little "steamy windows" but it is certainly better than original.
Thanks again!
Want to try but everytime I try via phone I get download unsuccessful :-( any ideas or can it be uploaded here

V2 is out !!!
Reboot option in power menu added, this is originaly from AdamTt and can be found in his thread here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094730
Got it at last loving this theme thanks
Compatible with FR ?
don't know exactly what you mean, what is FR ?
a French firmware
yes, that should not give any problems at all
I deserve zero credit. All the hard work was already done by the fellers at UOT.
Made with framework-res.apk + SystemUI.apk from CM7 Nightly #61 for Vibrant. Instructions in post 2. You are not allowed to download this .zip without reading and agreeing to everything in post 2.
Includes: (1) Segmented Circle Battery theme (2) Properly blacked out notification bar, (3) dark green overscroll glow, (4) flying transitions, (5) and dark green scrollbar

IF YOU MAKE ANY SIMILAR FILES VIA UOT, PLEASE UPLOAD THEM TO A HOST (OR LINK ME AND I'LL TRY MY BEST TO HOST THEM) AND THEN POST THEM HERE. This saves time, effort, and server resources for UOT. It also aggregates the links into 1 thread, making them more accessible.
Ok, decided to give the UOT (http://uot.dakra.lt/) a try. The website is a lot different than how it used to look a few months ago!
Battery theme is intended for black notification bars (you will not be able to see the white percentage atop a white notification bar!) includes the segmented circle battery and/or flying window animations, built on the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk of nightly 61. I have no idea whether or not it will work on 62+.
I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU AND STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO NOT FLASH IT. That being said, I hope it does work for you. Please back up your 'system/framework/framework-res.apk' and 'system/app/systemUI.apk' (just copy them and rename the copies as framework-res.apk.bak or something).
Make a nandroid backup in the all-too-likely case that everything goes awry. If you decide to ignore my warning against flashing this zip, you agree that I am in no way liable for anything at all. Whether it works or not, it has absolutely nothing to do with me and I will do nothing to assist you, nor am I obligated to do so.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, DO NOT FLASH THIS zip IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Instructions via UOT Kitchen
What to do with cooked zip file
Flash your downloaded file in recovery:
1. reboot into recovery.
*You should wipe your cache and Dalvik cache, but do not wipe data/factory reset* (added by OP)
2. choose "install zip from sdcard"
3. choose "choose zip from sdcard"
4. locate your file UOT-... .zip in SD
5. confirm "YES - install UOT ... .zip"
6. wait for script to finish
7. reboot phone
WARNING! Flash UOT file after you have first boot.
If you flashed new rom, boot up your phone first time
and after that reboot into recovery to flash UOT file.

Did you use the Segmented Battery theme + Flying Transitions? If so, I would suspect it's due to the flying Transitions. I don't personally use any screen-on/off animations or transitions, only window animations. I would suggest you use only the Segmented Battery Theme.
I only flashed it for the animations though, not interested in the theme or battery at all haha. I already have a battery mod with percentage. The animations were fun but now I have to fix that CRT thing, I love it and can't live without it.
EDIT: I am confirming that these flashes do NOT break the CRT animation. That was me doing something else apparently as when I did a factory reset and applied this, it works just fine. Can you make just the flying animations available as a flash?
I am also interested in a flying animation.zip

lol, I didn't plan on taking any requests, but I was in the same position that you guys are (i.e. no one making zips for my specific thematic preference).
Well, to minimize UOT's server usage, I'll take this request, but I usually won't. I'll have the zip in soon.
ALSO NOTE: Take the links in your second post (seg battery + flying animations down) as it's using the framework for nightly 40 which apparently is outdated in 47 now. It makes 46+ bootloop if used. The downloads in your first post are currently fine.
PS: Thx for flying animations!

The queue is almost always full during the daytime. This way, people don't HAVE to do it themselves and the UOT server gets a little more uptime.
does this compatible with nightly 55?
I've tried most of the roms out for this phone and like the new funk for 2.3.4 and the pull down toggles but I would like a black theme pull down instead of the blue I always see. I don't necessarily need someone to make it...I'd appreciate just a link to a how to or maybe even for making a rom...but Im taking steps. If anyone want to make one and post it awesome but id also appreciate any help. Pm me a link, info, or help. Thanks in advance
Will see what I can do this afternoon if no one does it before I get home.
You can also use the UOT Kitchen I'm nowhere near a computer right now to give you the link.

PS: I'm running adw black theme as well(which is why I'm looking for more black lol)
No problem I'm just learning myself once I can get the changes to stick I will be ok. Hoping yo finish up learning to theme and port pretty soon.
