How to get BLACK Notification Bar for the Motorola Defy(Official Froyo 2.2) in the Simplest way?
Is it possible to apply the Black bar in the simplest way without installing/using custom roms like CM7 or MIUI or flashing anytheme roms?
i very much want a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar(if possible) ,but i dont know how?
is using metamorph & a spl theme the easiest way to install black status/notification bar?...if yes,plz tell me the correct procedure!
i am currently on official Indian Froyo 2.2 from Motorola & am quite happy with everything & dont want to install other roms! (also i find the installation process complicated & risky), except a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar!
Can u experts tell me in the simplest way how to do it,(step by step if possible), how to achieve what i'm seeking?
I'm just a common noob!....reply & help me plz!
*btw, my defy is rooted !
TIA!
I think that the only way is to flash a ROM with black bar.
And transparent status bar isn't possible.
I recommend that you flash CM7.
No other replies...some alternative method of achieving Black status bar other than flashing custom roms?....i dont want to flash other roms..i'm happy with froyo 2.2,except the status bar which i want to be black coloured or transparent!
May be not directly answer your question,
but you can use some luancher that can HIDE the notification bar.
So yau can still use official froyo and no notification bar on the top of the screen.
Already doing that!... but i seriously thought black status bar could be at least possible on a froyo defy,w/o flashing any custom roms!...but i'm getting no lead to that!
current h.s w/o Statusbar
can use go launcher. there is an option to hide the bar

I'm not too sure, but I think the black bar is possible only on android 2.3.0 or later. Sure is possible do it on any rom, but you will have to edit the source of the rom, compile it again and flash it, so its more easy you flash a 2.3.x rom than put the black bar on your rom w/o flash it again (to not say impossible).

in cm7 you can use themes which have a black or a transparent Status bar.I think it's not possible to get a different status bar in Stockroms!
sorry for my bad english

Sorry that's wrong !
you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867692 theme with metamorph.
just download the. zip file from the link + metamorph from the Marked. Then open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and choose your downloadet zip.
if you want back to stock, just download the other zip and apply
it.
sorry for my bad english

I'm already using this same procedure with Go Launcher Ex for hiding the status bar.Anyway,Go Launcher Ex is really a super launcher!

Thanks Friend for trying to help me out, & it would have been perfect solution for me, except that there r lot of problems with it,particularly clock as found by various users,..morever i'm NOT sure if it's for 2.1 or 2.2 ?...i allmost halfbricked my defy by installing a wrong theme under metamorph!
Sorry to say, but if you want a black bar, lose this fear of install a rom or give up from this ideia. All this have risk of brick. You start of play with it will ensure you to solve any problem after. If you install a wrong zip from metamorph on your rom, you will have to install a rom our lose much more. Install the titanium backup. Make the backup of everything and try a new rom.the risk of you brick your phone trying to put the black bar without change your android version is much bigger than just put a cm7, for example. Get the FAQ on dev section of how install the cm7 or ginger with motoblur. Read it well and do exactly how it say. Will be faster and easier than how are you trying.

other than of just the fear of bricking the phone,....i have the fear that Cm7 or miui are still half baked products with bugs here & there...,example.wifi will not work/ cause problem(i have NO data plans & completely dependent upon wifi) or camera will not work properly etc,etc. i still feel that for stability purpose with everything running properly,stock roms r the best!

Seriously you think stock is the best.... well I just flashed for the first time and used CM 7 RC 1 and I was delighted to see an almost 2x increase in my GPRS/Edge 2G speed almost instantaneously. On my stock 2.2.2 Froyo.... it was cr$p
^^ have u any Negative experience with working/using the wifi & also about camera on defy after updating to cm7?...i hear many ppls facing problems on those issues. So,i'm asking u, if u can give me a Honest answer?...also can u tell me ,why it is called Cm7 RC1(Release Candidate1)?...why are not they final yet..if they r just perfect?
I don't have any problems with camera on my green lents defy. I just don't have a way yet to make a video with 720p, and this you don't have with stock too. Out you have a red lent, you can do it. Its not a final version 'cause they still trying a way to put 720p on green yet and others little things. It get a final version just when the group of cm past to support the device (hard without unlocked bootloader).
All that you have on the stock I have on cm7, much faster by the way. And you don't have a clock on demand like us, cannot change your lock screen by free without a ads or a strange bug that I fold when I tried do it on a stock. You cannot change your status bar or what you have on it and even get a transparent effect when slide it. And by the way, none about multitouth by default. And since I have used a custom rom,i had, the luck, of not see anymore a force close windows (much common when I was on 2.1 w/ blur). But is your choose. But with metamorph, you install a zip as you was installing a rom out paths of it. Any wrong file, and your rom can be corrupted. With this, or you do a backup of the rom or lost ask.
Do whatever you choose, but first install the titanium backup a do a backup of whatever you have. With this, whatever problem you have, you will can restore your apps and the data from them.

Hi, I´m a proud owner of a Galaxy Ace, it has the stock rom 2.3.4 KPH but I want to apply some themes, at the beginning I did it but the phone won't boot normally and a loop cycle starts. I already flash the device with the same rom (stock 2.3.4 KPH) and I did the deodex to the device. So, finally, my question is, can I apply some themes to the phone without suffer the same issue?
It would be great to have the Meizu theme on my Galaxy Ace, thanks in advance and regards from México.
Did you mount /system?

You're just repeating a general solution without knowing why. Not mounting system will just make the flashing be void and no replacement of the framework files are made. Here, there is a bootloop meaning the theme is not built for 2.3.4/not made for Ace.
He probably flashed a 2.3.3 theme. To |OP| make sure you're flashing a compatible theme.
I already tried with some themes from this forum (for the Ace specifically) indeed, but all of them weren't for the KPF, so, I guess that consegregate is right, those themes that weren't made for the KPF are causing the boot loop issue ? Do you know guys where I can find the Meizu theme for my Ace (KPF)?, I have my phone already deoxeded
Just to answer to myself (and everyone out there with the same question), I have the stock rom (KPH 2.3.4) deodexed and after apply the Meizu for KPN everything goes just fine, no boot loops, so I guess that the deodexed did the magic.
Thanks for your responses
I've trying to deodexing stock ROM 2.3.3 for LG P500 with xUltimate, but during deodex qcnvitems.odex I got fail:
**ERROR DEODEXING qcnvitems.odex** -auto-frame- (14:55:31.98 25.11.2011)
**DELETING PROCESSED FILES** -auto-frame- (14:55:31.98 25.11.2011)
**MAJOR ERROR** -main- (14:55:59.07 25.11.2011)
why can this be?
other files deodexing without problems
if u want easy way download adw launcher and in settings choose get themes
I do not like ADW, I take the Sense. In addition, I want to replace the icons of the status bar

@sdk16420: I saw the other themes. The work done on it is impressive but I don't like them. They look too close of the stock theme (with the gray as major color...)
This is why I request some help to port my personnal favorite theme to my favorite phone
My only knowledge about theming is the replacement of the images... :/
@kormatoes: I tried to install CM7 on my Neo, but there is a hudge battery drain. So, no way for me to use CM7 for now...But I found the stock rom very good, responsive that's why I would keep it for now...
I love that theme :O
Makes me want to go MIUI !!
How do i apply the theme anyway ??
Is it easy ?
Hi guys !
I'm back with a first version of the port ...
All credits goes to ZduneX25 !!
But I have a major issue but not really blocking... In fact, when the keyboard appears, the textfield is hidden and the keyboard is place at the top of the screen... So I can't see what I'm typing ... Pretty annoying. So if could help me to resolve this issue it would be nice ;-)
Attention: I modified the default wallpaper in framework-res.apk so if you flash this file your wallpaper may changed to the default MIUI wallpaper ! I prevent you ^^ But I will keep the SE default wallpaper in the next package.
Thanks for helping me
Not many downloads I just bought that phone
big big thanks

I have NeoV with the same rom as You - 4.0.2.A.0.42. How can i port this files to my phone? Can You help me?
Hello,
I'm new to XDA and to the android world and just bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace,
I did a little searching and discovered rooting and custom roms and installed one or two to check them out.
But one thing that i really didn't like was that i wasn't able to put the default samsung theme,
I'm unaware if any rom has the default theme installed, and if anyone knows that would be great and if not how can i get it ? (I mean with defult icons and everything).
Thanks in advance
Use Blackhawk Rom or Gingerreal 2.0
If you are using CM7 you can use this theme. If you want the same launcher like Touchwiz you have just to use this. It will look like the original Touchwiz, instead of the statusbar. There will be other control panel, but the battery icon etc. is like Touchwiz.
Thanks for your answers but is Gingerreal very stable ?
I'm seeing negative comments on the topic and i can't really find the Blackhawk rom.

for language choose the one which is for your country (there are 3 versions of rom ) you will get your language
The links are down for the European version.

I understand you. If you dont want to flash a rom and 'd stay on stock , you can modify your status bar manually(needs root and root explorer) Go to /system /app/System UI and press view. Go to /res/drawable-hdpi and you'll see all the image files, and you can change what you want

I think there wont be a pack only for the status bar, and if this exists, you must be deodoxed to install that.

I have a Red and Black theme and a Green and black theme for the Player 5.0. However, they will only work if you are running a CM9 based rom.
