Hi guys,
I need some help/advise from xda devs.
I am making a custom theme for stock ddkq8 rom.
So far i have successfully modded framework and systemui and all apps to give a complete feel of ics.
It includes
Big headers
White and blue text
Transparent status bar
Vertical batt with % icon
Blue coloured dialer
Blue stats icons
Removed swipe screen to unlock text from lock screen
Sleeked horizontal progress bar
Crt off enabled
Blue coloured pop up dividers
Ics animation
Blue text on selection
Transparent music app and gmail app
And much more.
However, when i try to make few apps viz settings.apk, jobmanager.apk transparent it doesn't work. Here is what and how am trying to do it
I am using win7 64 bit version. I am decompiling the apps using apktool 1.4.3. Hv got jdk 7 on my machine.
After decompiling am creating a custom theme in styles and using it in manifest.xml to make the app transparent. After recompiling i sign it and push into system/app folder. After reboot app simply doesn't appear in app drawer.
I hv tried both odexed and deodexed app.
I have tried by copying resources.arsc and manifest.xml to old app. Still the app doesn't appear in app drawer.
By now i hv started pulling my hairs and still hvn't got a clue. Wat am missing.
Please help guys.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
What about the transparency patcher by zdune

I would like to have a transparent notification bar then I looked inside my framework-res.apk and I finded some png that looks related to status bar (status_bar*.png and statusbar*.png).
I edited these images adding transparency and flashed framework-res.apk to my phone (getting no errors).
Nothing has changed, do anybody know what images have to be changed to modify status bar?
Thx
The files related to the statusbar are .9.png files so they need the draw 9 patch and i dont know how to so that so just google it

Hi, thanks for reply!
So do you mean all status*.9.png images?
I have the same issue but it is not with the files. I found if I switch to the system theme in the theme chooser all my changes are there. Does anyone know where to edit a theme to make changes to the frame work?
if your still looking for transparent statusbar, you can use my cooked rom which allows transparent statusbar
The systemui.apk has to be modified for a transparent statusbar.
Search on xda or google how to do this.
Or use the advised ROM from above.

I thought of making one theme for valentine day and I'd been searching and playing with colors and stuff so I came this far but now am so terribly bored both with android and framework-res.apk than I'm abandoning my idea however its not bad too if anyone wants to try it.
PS : The status bar is transparent but god knows why it becomes black in LP lol
Stale Tomatoes&Eggs Most WELCOMED
EDIT : its for v2.1.blah.blah
It's pretty girly, don't you think?

get stockframework (least errors)
get apkmanager (availbale in this forum)
decompile the apk
use your photoediter to change colors
compile the apk again
copy the pngs from the compiled apk and replace it in the framewrok you want.

Hey guys,
would somebody be kind enough to tell me how to change the 5 buttons in the pulldown bar please?
I changed them in my UOT theme, but still the original ones keep showing.
Thnx a lot.
Cheers

The only thing I know is yo modify your SystemUI.apk with apk manager . I don't know the exact steps .
Sent from my Ultima Weapon using XDA App
Yup, you'll have to find and replace the image files. Contact Seilent or search for the tutorial in section "Android Themes"
OK thnx you guys. Gonna do some more searching.
You have to do this manually. Open your systemui.apk with winrar. Open drawable-mdpi and you will find your current pulldown menu buttons. Just replace these files with what you like and also make sure that file names match.
Hey SGAce, i perfectly didnt understand your question. Do you just want to change the icons pngs or do you want to change their functions itself? Changing icons png has been expained before by other users but if you want to change functions of these, its a tedious job with editing xmls and resources and etc. It is a lot better to wait for the nightlies of CM7 lol
THNX y'all,
i did it, i managed to change the button png's. Afterall it was a STUPID and unnesessary question, coz i did this with a few other apk's before
Sorry, this thread can be closed.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

I don't believe so because the background color is controlled by an xml file and to my knowledge (someone correct me if I'm wrong) there isn't a hex code for transparent. The best you can do is just leave it white or turn it black like you see in CM7 or in some ICS roms.
Hope that helps......
wrong section!!!!!! this should be in GENERAL section....
yes you can change but not with the stock one ....download "Handscent Sms" or "Go Sms " they are highly customizable
But the mms.apk in gingercruzt cn be set to transparent .. den why not other?

spacecaker, first of all (that I knew) before changing the status bar sistemui with jb, had to have asked permission. I did not know. Secondly, I congratulate you, because your work is fantastic and I've done very happy with this status bar, I love it. I'm changing the png to customize my status bar. I want to give congratulations for your great work.
Well, I changed status bar png latest panel event with another color, and remains the same. No changes. I found as I said in framework.apk, but nothing changes. To which may be due? I'm desperate!
