Notification bar customization - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I seen something rather interesting on a er...iphone that I wonder is possible on a android
any ideas?

That is very possible it can be put in there as part of the background or as an icon...

what he said^^^^^

i figured it was possible i've been trying to find the means to do so.

You can do on a skin or systemui
Just decompile and add as a overlay on status_bar_background. 9(be carefull its a .9) or make as an icon of some sort (ei wifi, etc)

[THEME] White Hot for GSM

Hello there people!
I've been busy trying to make the White Hot theme from HERE compatible with the GSM versions of the phone. I did my best since its the first time I'm doing these kinda things, Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do:
(I've made this with KingCobra 1.4 ROM, not sure how it works on other GSM roms, feel free to test and let me know how it works please)
Let me know what u think about the theme, thanks!
All credits to pstevep & il Duce for making the original theme!
Also credits to Mayfield103, he thought me the first steps of beginning the progress!
Features/Changelog by pstevep:
- Based mostly on "warm 2.3".
- All of the sense widgets are outlined with hot white lines.
- HTC weather clock is the "gomorrah clock".
- App drawer is dark transparent.
- Rosie navbar has white icons.
- Lockscreen dockbar is clear.
- Lockring is white hot.
- Removed music widget animation.
- Added more whites.
- Fixed phone icon reflection.
- White notification bar icons
- Pulldown notification bar black, no more transparacy.
Install:
- Download zip file
- Place it on your SD card
- Flash it with CWM
- Reboot
- Done
DOWNLOAD
ENJOY!!​
looks good
just some FYI, our changelog isn't quite yours lol. Like, you didn't remove down_animation. Do you actually have the custom window transitions? Your lockscreen DOES have both bubbles and text under the icons. You don't have the lock_carrier.txt mod. You don't have bootscootv2 in there either.
LOL that sounds like I'm a douche I'm really just trying to help your OP lol.
Anyway, you DID customize ALL the statusbar icons white to match the theme.
You also DID customize the dropdown background to non-transparent.
You DID make it compatible with zeus mods.
Just trying to help, again nice job!
Very nice job nerotix ill try asap many thanks bro

Awesome job. This was just what I was looking for. Simply amazing. In the future if you could do the same with d3rp warn green that would also be awesome.
Thanks for your hard work and time making my phone cooler than it already was.

weather: that bg is in - Idlescreen_Weather.apk. If you decompile with m10 tools it's in the m10 that's something like "weather_bg.m10" - there are 3 images in there you need to change. Add a custom one, it's more fun. Must be a .png image and sized exactly 540x960, and flip it upsidedown
Btw meant to say this sooner, good job on porting this man.. Glad you got everything working.. Looks good so far..

Hi there.
I recently upgraded to King Cobra v1.5 and I downloaded this theme and put it on my SD card.
I flashed it by installing from zip in CWM and then rebooted.
However I don't notice the changes?
Do I still have to change some settings on the phone somewhere?
Sorry, this is my first time trying to install a theme.

Thanks for the tip but I don't think so. My skin has always been on default. Is it maybe an issue with the new king cobra v1.5? I see in the op it was tested only up to 1.4

I only say that because I have seen some roms default to a different skin. It did it to me, but the rom defaulted to something other than default.

Not to dig up an old thread or anything. But if i am using GoLauncher and deleted the rosie.apk from kingcobra 1.7 how would this theme affect my phone.
Would it change anything? Would it cause problems? etc.

ICS theme

Could some one port this over to the EVO 3D?

New To Theming

Would really like to make several Metroid Themes for my Rezound running Viper 1.0.3. I'm very new to it and was wondering what files to edit. Like do I edit the files in the drawable-hdpi or the ones in drawable-xhdpi? Are they basically the same files but in different resolutions? Also how do I edit the statusbar's look. Not the icons on the status bar but the actual status bar itself; like turning it from like black to red or something?
I think its drawable-hdpi. I haven't themed in awhile and my ssd corrupted so I lost all turning progress I had on my computer. As to theming the status bar; I think its part of the systemUI.

No it's always going to be xhdpi

I'd suggest if your not using virtuous ten studio to try it out, it really makes life easier

Thanks for all the help. I have one more question about notification icons. When I open them in photoshop they are indexed and in 8bit; do I need to keep them that way or can they be RGB?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
you will want to open the indexed images in something like paint.net, save them, then open in photoshop to edit.
If you are only worried about the statusbar icons then i would suggest grabbing the theme template from viprez thread and just change them, much easier approach and you know what icons you need to change.
Ok thanks for all the help. I think i can take it from here. Again thanks everyone.

[Q] Change color of "15 toggle" mod

How would I go about changing the color of the "15 toggle" mod myself?
What color did you want? There's blue, purple, and green.
I know what colors there are lol. Off the top of my head I can think of 140+ other colors I'd might like to have...

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.

I think you may need to do the battery icons in the drawable-xhdpi folder in the Framework-res.apk also.

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.

Systemui.apk

I am in no way a pro themer or editor. I compiled a system.apk removing the location icon and battery icon from the notification bar since they bug the crap out of me. Of course u need to be rooted and use root explorer to push the apk in system/app folder. Just make sure u make a quick backup of the original systemui.apk just in case. Once pasted make sure permissions are set and reboot and voila.
I am not liable nor responsible for messing up your device use at ur own risk.

Thanks for this. Quick request though, any chance you could make one without the alarm clock icon and posibly even get rid of the AM/PM for those of us using the 12h option? or can you just tell me what tools you used to do this, I've done some patching before but haven't been keeping up with the latest tools for this.
If you can get rid of the AM/PM it would be awesome as it takes up way too much space in the status bar

Can we have one that just removes the location icon?
There's a guy in the Developer subforum who put the WiFi toggle back into the Notifications panel too. Maybe you could add that in as well.
