You need to decompile your systemui.apk.after that go to res/values/
edit styles.xml,search for TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock and change the value of android:textColor to 808080 (which i think is grey,not sure).after making changes, save and compile your systemui.apk and there you go...

Maybe I have missed something here.
Every application I use to decompile an ICS apk file returns errors.
What application are you using to decompile and then recompile the apk files?
Any help would be appreciated.

hey guys?
please help me or give me a link!
how can i change and costumize my task/notification bar on my legend?
with this http://circle.glx.nl/ i cant do it. its only working with desire roms.
but i can change battery icon.
thx for ur help
Simply replace it in your framework-res.apk (use 7zip) it's located in the res/drawable-mdpi folder if I'm not mistaken.
If it's a .9.png file you won't be able to simply replace it. (there are tutorials on how to change them here on xda)
wow nice, thx for this!!
but i want to change transparency, add quick toggle buttons, add a text when i pull down the bar and so on.....
how can i do that? in the link above, theres a nice kitchen for that, but it only works on desire roms

It's working fine, only the notification part isn't support for our Legend.
The icons and animations are working.
With CM7 only the battery indication can be modified because the rest of the icons are in SystemUI.apk instead of framework-res.apk.
lol i know that.
but i want to change the notification area, no icons or other stuff

Hello, i´ve got also an related question.
I want to change the color of the notification bar.
So i copied the new "statusbar_background.png" in the framework-res.apk. And then the .apk back via root explorer in /system/framework.
If i look in the .apk my customized statusbar is also there, but after rebooting the phone it hasn´t changed.. the old statusbar look is also there.
I´m on B0.7 with data2ext.
Thanks for replies, picz
How would I go about changing the color of the "15 toggle" mod myself?

Open up the lidroid apk with 7zip or similar program pull out the drawable-hdpi folder.Leave the Lidroid.apk open on your desktop. Color the images to your liking. Then drag the folder back to the open lidroid.apk on your desktop.Close apk.Push to phone. PROFIT!

You could pull it apart, decompile the apks, change the color of the images, and recompile, and you'll have to for each new color you want. It's a decent bit of work but probably the only way you're going to get it unless you talk to the person who makes it and convince them to make another color for you.

Understood. I was hoping someone could also point out the exact file/apk that I would need to mod and hopefully it would be as easy as doing a replace all for the color code I want to replace... which I see bigfau provided (lidroid apk)
What about the icons in the notification area? Battery, signal strength, and etc?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Your right, no worries.
No, I didn't by chance happen to see bigfau's post before I got mine in, as he beat me to the punch and slipped in while I was typing mine.
Besides, even though he replied just before me, is there a problem with me providing similar information? If anything, two people telling the OP essentially the same thing will further reassure the OP and give him more confidence to try his own hand at theming.
And what does pointing me to his ROM thread have to do with my post? I'm well aware of the development going on for our phones.

So I read here that if you are using a mod to change stuff, you can't further update those same mods from the ROM (which might help explain why I have been unsuccessful). So I went into the "15 Toggle.zip" I am using and tried to swap out some PNGs from the "drawable-hdpi" and got a "Not Implemented" error from 7zip... what's up with that?
Not sure if it matters but the PNG's I am trying to swap are not those 9.PNGs... I can't even open those to see what they look like. Something about unsupported compression method...
I think its because you need to decompile the apks, swap out your images, then recompile. It's what you have to do for standard theming, so it should be the same for what you want to do.

hmmm, read somewhere else you only needed to decompile if you were doing stuff to data, like changing values or code in XML files. There are folders within the apk that I can copy to without problem (although expected changes have yet to take effect). Guess it wouldn't hurt to de/recompile and see what happens.
Something else I noticed is that for the "15 Toggle.zips" that don't change the status bar icons, I can swap the status bar images np. But when I run the .zip in CWM, none of my changes take effect. But if I try to change the status bar icons of a "15 Toggles.zip" that I know changes the status bar icons (like bigfau's green 15 toggle mod), I get the "Not Implemented' error.
While I know swapping using 7zip works for some stuff, you're going to run into trouble with .9's and like you've said, xmls, but if you take the little bit of extra time to just decompile and recompile all of the changes will work. In my opinion, its worth the two extra minutes just to not have to deal with the hassle of guessing if something will work or not.

Thanks For The Instructions
I just want to say thank you to all those who have provided information in this thread. With the guidance given I was able to change the color of the toggles from the available purple/green/cyan to what I wanted a teal green and a white version. I only changed the toggle colors nothing else in the notification icons but I feel awesome about it being my first try at anything like this. Both the teal and white look great! I just extracted the images and recolored with gimp then repacked the zip. So thanks! :good:
Amanda (Pimms)
P.S. If anyone wants the teal or white version PM me and I can send you them!
Edit Battery Color
BlackZenith and I figured out how to change the color of the battery and other icons in the notification bar, you must edit the drawable-xhdpi (note the x :laugh for the images to change from the SystemUI.apk file. Just letting you all know in case you are having trouble with that aspect. I was editing the drawable-hdpi folder at first and when flashed nothing changed.

Hi, guys
How can I adapt the 15 toogles from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677245 (The one that says stock) to our version of our Notes. I tried flashing it and works but I like to see the 4G and 4g Lte icons in the top screen. Thanks.
Need some help from you themers. What files do I need to edit to make my status bar and the settings menu pure black? I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 i605 (VZW) on the latest official firmware s-off and rooted.
FWIW, I'm working with a MacBook Pro using apktool 1.5.2 and smali/baksmali 1.4.1.
If you don't mind, I would much rather not use someone else's mod. I would like to just learn to do it myself
Thanks.

Thanks for the help everyone

Status bar would be in the system ui apk, res drawable xhdpi folder or folders. The settings bg is in the settings apk or maybe framework res apk and I think it is in the same folder. I can look tomorrow to give you a for sure file path.

Sounds good BTR, I appreciate that. So I take it what I need to edit is png files and not xml color resources right?

Yes you are correct. Goodness has some status bar color mods and some settings bg mods, but the names were renamed and that cause of the settings and mods available. I'm fixing to have to go to work so I'll have a chance at some point to look and get that file path.

the file you need to mod is status_bar_expanded.xml
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.NotificationPanelView
you can set transparency by changing the android background color hex
I added a new background so the resource would define color by drawable rather than style... i did this for the reason it is easier for the average user to mod themselves.
Nice mod still getting the shuttering when opening the drawer no biggie.

the systemUI mods have a permission set for Prism.apk. I'm assuming that is a typo in your updater script and you meant to set the permissions for SystemUI since that's what is being flashed.

no worries what level of transparency are you looking for? - its more than likely in the values/drawables folder under something like status_bar_bg.. if not i thing on the sense based roms they are png files due to the open close of statusbar.. in the case of the second i would look in the drawables folder for something like status bar on or something... if you have any issues let me knw

Unfortunately its a different blue than the phone apk so it offsets it and I'm very OCD lol

Thanks iced, I figured thats what it would be.
I'm not as good supra and iced, but it is in styles.xml. However, it then points to devicedefault in framework-res.apk which then tells it what image to use.
I think the easiest fix woukd be to create your own theme in framework-res and have it pull the image you want then tell settings to use that theme.
