I've been wanting something like this that we can flash over any of the latest Cm7 versions with the status bar softkeys (from mad-murdock).
So I just threw one together myself.
This is a CWM zip file that you can flash with clockworkmod and will replace the soft key icons in CM7 with the honeycomb ones.
Thanks to:
The Cm7 Team
Phiredrop for his phiremod cm7 stuff
nfcrockett for uploading the icons from the SDK.
coldboot for inspiration
Please Note: This does not work on the current batch of nightlies, and I will not update this particular mod until there is another cm7 final release.
If you wish to do so yourself, feel free to use the icons from the apk

Install Via CWM - All warnings apply, if it screws something up - not my fault
Worked fine on my nook.
Changelog:
4/18 Gtab/Vega Users update: The Gtab/Vega version should now properly install on Gtabs and the Vega - I have not been able to test this (and the guys in the Gtab IRC were less than helpful) So I need some feedback on this.
4/15 Phiremod Edition:[/B] This should be able to seamlessly flash over phiremod without losing any of his themed elements in the notification bar. Big thanks to phiredrop!
4/13 v1.3: Changed the notification pulldown shade to be darker (less transparent) for people having issues with it.
4/11 v1.2: Made a new search Icon from scratch - let me know what you guys think!
4/11: Top should now be working, I also edited the search button background to match the rest of them. I had forgotten about it, because I dont use it. I'll try to whip up a more honeycomb-esque looking one later.
Feedback is welcome/appreciated. Screenshot attached.
looks good mate. cheers!
It does look really good.
I use status bar on top alot, especially when using nesoid, or when my daughter is playing on it. So if you would like to make a version that changes the icons in both modes, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, yeah I'll update it to work on top as well. Should be up later tonight when I get home from work.

why not use cm7 official? its got all of ttrc2 with bugfixes
Thanks for putting this together. I really liked the HC look. If only the launcher was functional.
Thank you for this. I was planning on digging through the framework folder but this saved me the trouble. They look great. Now if only I could figure out how to change the order of the buttons......

Looks great, but i do see one oddity - the search icon is noticably lighter in background than the rest of the icons.. almost like search was in a selected state. Its not, but it looks a bit wierd. if you could fix that, this would be perfect!

These look great! I'm glad you shared them.
Great job, thanks for making the changes thus far, the icons look really good. I especially like that the icons have no background image and they are just "in" the status bar. It looks alot cleaner that way imho.
Very nice work! I like using the "Cyanabread" theme and having the "green" in the Notification icon kinda throws things off from an aesthetics perspective. I would like to have the icons bigger, like when I was running HC, but that is a CM7 thing, I think.

They can be made bigger. They ended up coming out a little small when I was resizing them. Personally I like them how they are though.
Thanks for this man. I think personally it goes better then the stock buttons, because they look built-in, instead of just literal buttons. No offense to the stock button designer!
Well...As you guys see, many icons of the leaked rom has a bad resolution, also, the connectivity icon need a redesign completely, can anyone remake those icons better?

that actually doesn't address any of them. all the icons and status icons are not sharp on this build, and the statusbar fix doesn't change that.
I can try my best and once i've read up on how to change them, I'll start working on it soon, but I have to say that I feel a lot of people are more worried about the other stuff like front-facing camera and the fingerprint scanner, and so stuff like this isn't really bothering them. any icons you wanna request first?
oh, and I can't guarantee that i'll be working on it when the official GB comes out (so excited!! =D) but i'll work as fast as i can and if anything, try to get at least some of the stock icons a bit better. =]
~jojojohnson7410~
-EDIT- after about a 2 second research on google and from some past knowledge, it seems ADW Launcher seems to be the way to go. Any other launcher?
I'll keep researching and working to get the ones for stock launcher if i can.
-EDIT2- found it. lol that didn't take long. Okay, the good thing is that it looks to be a simple edit to the apks, which shouldn't be too bad. the bad news? Don't know how great I am with Photoshop (been a while). Will try to brush up if anything, and then get to it =] Sorry if this takes me forever cause this will be my first mod.

Ok, maybe I am missing something here......but the status icons are in the status bar fix, right? That fix replaced the status icon which is what the OP complained about. As far as the app comment, what apps? Mine look fine so I don't know what he is talking about. Not being sarcastic here.....I just do not see the same issue.

wait....question before i do start on this little project. The answer to this question will determine if i go for a theme here (if i have time >.< time seems so fleeting nowadays) or if i take this up as a legit project.
Did you change the default ppi settings in the build.prop?
I'm sorry if its a stupid question, but I just wanted to clarify. If you don't know what I'm talking about, its the section where they allow you to change the density of your screen. Apparently, GB has it set to 240 ppi when our screens are 275 ppi and I do remember vaguely having this problem. As i thought more and more about your request, it seems this is more an issue of your screen clarity as oppose to the icon clarity, as the icons can only go max 48x48 pixels for apps (as i believe) and all of the icons, at least from stock at the very least, should be at max.
So, if you didn't yet, try editing the build.prop and changing the 240 to 275. Suggest you use Root Explorer =] and if you still feel its not that clear, reply back or pm me and i'll see what I can do to fix it.
~jojojojohnson7410
he's talking about the icons and app icons. if you look at all of them, they appear to have been scaled-up images of smaller icons and so they have a slight amount of blur/aliasing in them and they are not 100% "sharp" images with corners and such as you saw in the stock builds. this is partially why the LCD density and such is off on the stock moto launcher.
I am using go launcher and am not having any issues with the app icons, and the link above fixes the connection icons.
Notice : I am not going to work on new themes for this rom anymore as i don't see any future for it. I am going to make themes for the Bravo rom instead which can be found here.
Thanks for all the support.

Miui Mix Theme ( Final )
Procedure to install theme
Flash using AOR 3.3. Wipe ( dalvik-cache/cache ) is not required but recommended.
Download link :
With stock statusbar : here
Additional Info
I have not checked this as i don't own a XT720. So people who try this have to inform of any issues which i can fix. If it works properly, it should look like the screenshots above.
I have removed the versions with transparent status bars as they are not working properly.

Twisted Inception
The port of this theme was requested by JiroPrinz8. Kudos to the original creator of the theme, bp328i of droidforums. My job is just to port it to xt720.
First build is almost ready. There are small issues. Not all notification widget icons are themed. I will rectify it in future builds.
Procedure : Download zip file and place it in openrecovery/updates folder. Flash in AOR. Dalvik-cache/cache wipe is not required but recommended.

Flashing this should get you back to stock look and stock features.

Flashed the theme, and there are some white on white, and the icons in settings is still TI, (flashed over TI)
Will now try flashing over stock to see if it makes any difference. Attached some pics.
**Flashed over stock, and still white on white on the notifications area, the rest seems to be ok, attached some pics to confirm.
Flash over stock and then report with screenshots.

Guess what, i forgot to add the themed apps in the first release. That's why none of the apps was themed.
This build should fix that and the white on white in notification details.
Also, is statusbar transparent?

Yup dialler is as in screenshot, sorry dumb question, which part is the statusbar..? LOL! Far as i can tell the only issue is the white on white in the notif area, i don't have the date showing that would overlap the ongoing icons, as in the OP, IIRC the date is only showing in CM, or i haven't enabled it if at all possible.. downloading 2nd release.

Overall looks great man..! Please inform me if i missed anything or you want anything checked.

I suggest going to stock first, as when i tried flashing over TI, icons from the previous theme kept on with the new one.

Which launcher are you using. If you install adw and untick wallpaper hack from advanced settings, you will have a transparent statusbar ( the top bar where you get your date/time/data & wifi icons etc ). You can see thru the statusbar. If you have used miui earlier, you'll understand what i am talking abt.
Also is your date shown on statusbar while pulling down notifications?

Oh ok I got it now, no, I don't have the Status bar, as in the pics, the carrier name is the only one there, no status bar icons/widgets.
Nope, no date on the status bar when I pull down for notifications.
You should not see your date. That's how the theme needs to work. And you should be able to see your wallpaper thru the statusbar as shown in the picture below. Use a lighter wallpaper. You cannot make out with a dark wallpaper.
I just flashed the RC2 stock, I was on your original Twisted Inception for the first Special, and leaves the Twisted inception keyboard. It may just be a fluke since it isn't your updated Twisted Inception. No big deal cuz I like that green themed keyboard I posted to go with RC2 anyway. So now gonna try your new themes.

I get it now, sorry bout the confusion, so I checked and the status bar is NOT transparent, tried installing ADW to untick the Wallpaper Hack, didn't change anything though. Still the Status Bar is solid and is not transparent.
I don't think it's a big deal though, but if it's necessary for the theme, by all means just post a build I can test for you.

I dont know why the png's are not changing. Also i changed all network icons to miui style, but it is still green. I'll take a look later.
Ok. Found out why the statusbar is not changing. Its not the themes fault. Usually the statusbar image which is in framework-res.apk is a .9 png ( statusbar_background.9.png ). The theme has this file, but the rom uses a normal png ( statusbar_background.png ). So even if you apply the theme, the statusbar image is not being replaced.
Also found out why network bars are still green. HM has made a lot of changes not found usually in Froyo based roms.
I'll post a final build today.

That's ok guys. I am uploading 3 versions of the miui theme now.
1. Transparent status bar - no date
2. Transparent status bar - with date ( notifications images will overlap date )
3. Non Transparent stock statusbar
As soon as someone checks and lets me know that they all work as expected, i will port the other themes.
Sometimes i get fustrated with things and that's why i was a bit harsh in my comments a couple of weeks back. No hardfeelings, LM.

This thread is for a series of Metamorph files I will be releasing. To install these mods, you must have a rooted phone and a copy of metamorph. Some theme features may not be available on non cyanogen mod roms, but there should be at least partial compatibility with every ROM and most Android devices, not just atrix.
Download: Click one of the links below:
LockScreens:
- GunMetal - Simply replaces the default green and red pattern icons with grey ones.
- CyanBread LockScreen - Just like it sounds, this is a FULL FEATURED theme for the Cyanogenmod lockscreen. Replaces default white textures with beautiful cyan ones (as requested)
- Hades - A complete, red lockscreen theme for android
- Kobalt - A complete Cobalt blue lockscreen theme
- Kemical - A green lockscreen for your android.
To use these themes, you must have Metamorph app from the market. Use Metamorph to unzip zip file and then open the XML file inside. Phone will reboot and Voila! New, beautiful Lock Screen!
Please note: there is a bug with these themes that you will get a invalid theme error..just reopen metamorph and click pick existing theme and run it anyways. It will work.
Cheers!
Dont forget to press the Thanks button
This is poppin! Will u be releasing a screen transition metamorphs too? We need some new ones.
Very nice! It set my wallpaper to default though. Is this to be expected?
Would this work with stock rom?
If you can, please make a Rotary revamped buttons (unlcok, sound\mute, middle andorid icon for custom app) that suits the Cyanbread theme.
Thanks !
Installed on Homebase Chronic Blue. Worked great, but it also reset my wallpaper. No big deal though. Thanks
I'm not completely sure what it takes to make all new animations but I'll check it out. In the meantime, checkout these ones:

Yes, whenever you first apply a framework-res metamorph file, it will always reset your wallpaper to a system default one. Just set it back

I don't think space is actually the issue, i am getting the same error message, chose to apply the theme anyway and its clearly not doing anything, just stuck at 'applying framework-res.apk'
When attempting to replace the hades lockscreen zip i get the error : 'the theme you selected is invalid because the control file could be missing, or is not correctly written'.
Also running CM7, issue persists after reboot.
PS. if i could get this running, i would love a 'hades' color version of the Lense style lockscreen!

Sorry bout that problem. I made a mistake with the theme file. I'll fix and upload. In the meantime, after it gives the error message, it should extract anyway. Just restart metamorph, open, and reapply the theme.

it may be included in it
Look in this thread. In the first post there are three ways to get the statusbar transparent... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243590
I have not try it yet , but i will...
For sure it can be done; I've been using transparent statusbar for months now.
I even did it on the latest CM7 Defy+ nightly builds.
I've tried the Z25 patcher, but that didn't work for me so I now do it manually.
So I'd refer you to this thread from krd_medico for a guide on how to do it.
It's all in there and it looks worst than it really is; it's not that complicated and when you've done it sucessfully once, it will only take 10 minutes to do afterwards [because this is nightly specific and have to be done after each new nightly install].
I've also written a new guide about it and might post it later as well...we'll see!
Cheers.
Wows, thanks but that is complicated!

np.
Then you might also want to read my thread here, where I've tried to streamline the process a little.
On Post#2 there I also explain how to get transparent statusbar on any CM7 build. It's a long post but believe me, it's not that hard to do. And if you use my theme provided on there, it ends up beeing a matter of just adding a minus "-" sign and change a 2 for a 3 in one file really...
It is even easier to do if you have have a red lense Defy or a Defy+ since you can use the excellent Dec13th CM7 Defy+ nightly (for red lenses only) as described in the post#1 and go from there.

Well, like I already wrote above, the "all that" only takes me less than 10 minutes to do and is really not a big deal. And since I'm perfectly happy with my own transparent theme, I really don't see what is so funny here...
I might remind you that I took the time to write that guide for the benifit of everyone and to show how to get transparency on ANY theme.
I just went to the market and searched for "ADW transparent" and I couldn't find a single theme showing a transparent status bar in the picture previews of the 4-pages of search results. So it ain't so simple to get a transparent statusbar isn't it?
So why don't you try to be a little more pro-active/helpful here then and make some useful theme suggestions maybe? [instead of what looks like you making fun of me...]

nothing related to LENS, just UI modification

yes, it will if you do what matchung wrote on the post just before yours and use a normal CM7 nightly (not a Defy+ one).
I'd strongly suggest you to try the latest one from Epsylon as it includes the ICS' screen transition AND screen rotation animations.
Finally, go on my thread and look at this post; I've included the SystemUI.apk that has to be changed (specific for that last nightly).
So all you have to do for a transparent statusbar (on the 3 default CM7 themes, my theme or possibly other themes -depending how they've been coded) is:
- Install that nightly and then place my modded SystemUI.apk on the root of your sd card [/sdcard/].
- Open up Teminal Emulator from the app drawer and type the 3 following commands:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount,rw /system/
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
--> pull the battery out and back in + reboot IF you get into an error loop; otherwise, again with Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
chmod 644 SystemUI.apk
chown 0.0 SystemUI.apk
- Make sure that: Settings_ADWLauncher_System Preferences_Wallpaper Hack
is UNCHECKED IF you use the default ADW launcher OR (quoting matchung here "... on Go, with high quality drawing option checked." if you want to use GO Launcher.
- Reboot.
Still so hard ?!?
PS: I did that SystemUI.apk mod quite quickly and set the statusbar transparency at 10% (and the one from the drop down notification panel also to a pretty low value) --> which is not ideal to my taste.
But you could change all that by following the post #2's intructions - if it's not too complicated for you
Or you can try to install/use my theme included on there and see if you like it.
Cheers!

it's not true... works fine on Go, with high quality drawing option checked.
Hi matchung, thanks for this tip on Go-ex-launcher, i was not able to see the transparent bar in home screen, sometime it wrks, sometimes not, so the checking "high quality drawing" in Go fixed it
