Hi,
So im looking to mod the notification area background on ICS.
I've decompiled systemui but i cant seem to find a png for notification background to edit.
so in res/values/drawables.xml
i find this, which i believe relates to the notification bar (could be wrong)
Code:
<item name="notification_tracking_bg" type="drawable">#d8000000</item>
How can i change this to call a png in hdpi?
i THINK i need to do something like
Code:
<item name="notification_tracking_bg" type="drawable">"android:background="@drawable/mycustombg"</item>
Although something about the above doesnt look right.
Then in HDPI and mycustombg.png
any advice/help would be appreciated
The background is in drawable HDPI, find which one it and drop it into the apk using 7zip

i have one you can use but i don't know which file to change in CM7 to make it transparent. does anyone know?
edit: nvm
It's in framework-res.apk SystemUI.apk, but I think you will need to edit some .9.png's...
isn´t it in /system/app/SystemUI.apk
The background of the widget part is in Settings.apk; appwidget_bg.9.png
The other backgrounds are located in SystemUI.apk. The main part is shade_bg.png
Also the icons set in located in the SystemUI.apk
Hi there.
I for one am not a fan of the solid black statusbar of recent androids. It ruins the very nice Sony look, if you ask me.
How would I go about replacing it with a nice gradient one like the Gingerbread days? Is it really that hard or is everyone fine with the solid black one?
Thanks,
You can use ninjamorph and some icons you'd like to use as a backgroud.

I know it's possible to mod system files with ninjamorph but I was really hoping for a more specific answer.
for an easy way to do it, you can try UOT Kitchen.
or if you want to add your own-made background, you can decompile systemui.apk.
Edit: deleted
Aren't you pointing out the notification menu background? I guess its a little bit confusing what i mean but I'm talking about the top bar background, where the clock, batter icon, etc are located.
I know, sorry I realized after I posted the pic. Can't seem to delete.
You will find the drawables in there though, but if your after transparent, I count t get it to work nice. Ghost notification icons.

You need to edit your drawables.xml in the values folder after decompiling, then add an image to drawable-hdpi and point to it from the xml...
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">@drawable/status_bar_background_custom</item>
...or simply point to an existing image.
Ahh! That's why it ignorered my statusbar images. Thanks man, great help !
I want to edit the icon of my status bar and I have three questions about this:
First: I have to edit the SystemUI.apk or the Framework-res.apk? (because in systemui i dont have battery icons, but yes wifi and etc); And in framework-res i have all the statusbar icons.
Second: I have to edit the .png images with patch 9.png or something?
Third: All the images to replace have to be exactly the same size of pixel? or 2 or 3 pixel more high or width doesnt matters?
If you can help me i will be really gratefull.
Sorry for my english
Yes they have to be the same size. There are no .9 pngs for the icons. And yes you have to edit them both

Hi everyone, hope i am posting this in
the right section..
Guys, my phone is Samsung Galaxy
Mini which is a ldpi device which now
runs on an ICS rom. I am trying to
change the color for the brightness
sliders and volume sliders.
Which .xml need to be edited to
change the colour..
I decompiled framework-res.apk and
changed hex color values under @id/
progress and @id/secondary progress
in "progress_horizontal.xml", also
changed colors of few pngs in
drawable-mdpi in framework,now the
progress seek bar has changed the
color,but brightness slider color
remains the same.
I then decompiled systemui.apk and
changed the hex color values under
@id/progress in
"adi_seekbar.xml",but nothing got
changed..
Can anyone help me? Which .xml is
associated with the seek bar for
brightness and volume slider? Or
should i deal with smali files to
change the color of brighntness slider
and volume slider..
If that brightness slider you're talking about is in status bar, then look for it's pngs in /res/drawable/ or any drawable folder

"ic_sysbar_highlight.png" ... will this be the png associated with it? I left to theme this as i thought this wont be the one..
Edit: the above mentioned png is associated with mid_navigation_bar.xml... so no luck with png's
On CM9 and CM10 is quickpanel_brightness_bg.png for the bar and quickpanel_brightness_icon.png for the icon between the bar

Thanks for the reply So Quickpanel_brightness_bg changes the slider color or the background color?
Slider I think; background seems to be something like quickpanel_brightness_background.png

The xml files that control the progress bar color are theme-dependant and located inside the /res/drawable/ folder.
The names of the files are:
1. scrubber_progress_horizontal_dark.xml
2. scrubber_progress_horizontal_light.xml
In each of these files you'll find a layered list of png's which you'll have to edit to change the look of your progress bar. The last two, scrubber_primary_holo and scrubber_secondary_holo are what you're looking for.
You'll find these in /res/drawable-hdpi (usually). Galaxy Mini, being a LDPI device, it will firstly search for the pngs in drawable-ldpi, then if they're not present there, it will continue searching for the same pngs in the other folder in this order: mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi. Make sure you edit the pngs found in the folder which represents the lowest resolution possible.
One more thing, these being pngs, you can change the whole look of the slider, not just the color.

Thanks for the detailed post and you are SPOT ON! i have no idea how i missed those png's.. thanks a lot @alin.p
Hi guys, like the title says, I'm searching for a way to edit the framework or the SystemUI apk to get rid of the icons. I would like to use the AOSP's ones but without using Xposed. Most of this because using overlays or themes it change the icons but when they're black, signal and data keeps white and that looks very bad. I'll leave an attachment. I've found only two tutorials on XDA but the one's from 2013 (JB, or KK idk) and the other is for Lollipop and both are very different and it confuses me so much. So, I beg for anyone who can help and I can do it (a tutorial, steps, something) and I will share with everyone in themes section the results!
Thanks in advance.
It should be inside SystemUI.APK, decompile it and change appropriate icons in hdpi, xhdpi and xxhdpi. If you have time, you may even want to change those in ldpi and mdpi.
