Hey all,
i'm owner of a S3 for about 2 weeks now. I've read a lot of stuff in this forum and a few others and im just asking here for
stuff that i couldn't figure out by myself or find in an existing thread.
My phone is rooted and it runs Crdroid 7.1.
Now my phone fits almost all my needs, all i want is to change the status bar because i really dont like this blue.
When i did run CM10 i installed a theme but in Crdroid there is no such "Theme" section in the options.
So what are the best ways to change it?
Translucent status bar + center clock + another Battery icon are already installed since it comes with the AROMA installer of Crdroid.
And is there a way to get rid of "this blue" everywhere in the UI besides the status bar?
Thank you very much in advance

There are apps in the market that allows you to modify ur statusbar..
Otherwise, there are flashable zips you can flash from the themes&apps section

Thanks!
lol sorry, could you also post a how to? theres got to be a step im missing somewhere.
are you talking about the first one cus thats not really a theme...
the droids are a image pack and you use something like the app "BetterCut" to assign them
the rest is just tweaks with a alt home...

if your looking for transparent status/pull down I have those here :

its under the smooth & segmented versions
if not I'm confused about what your talking about
Yesterday I installed this rom (from the dev. forum)
CM7.2 Rom Mash up- Official & Unofficial Sedan Class(Super Fast, Ultra Stable)
It's working great, but i have a problem. I wanted to reply to the original thread, but it was closed and i haven't got permissions to start a new thread there, so i posted my question here.
The problem is that the notification overlay (the thing you pull down from the top in android homescreen) is transparent. Too transparent. It's difficult to read any of the notifications. I perused all the adw settings, the android settings, the cwm settings and even spare parts, but cannot find a setting to turn off or reduce the transparency.
Is there a setting for the transparency of the notification overlay, or failing that, an app i could use to override the default notification overlay?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

There is no setting as such. U have to ask the developer of the rom to give you a patch that will disable the transparency!

Hey themers:
I'm just getting acquainted with making small modifications to the system and am currently working from a stock 4.0.4 LPL based ROM. I would like to implement a 50% translucent effect on the TW status bar.
I've decompiled SystemUI.apk many different ways - as a non-system app, an app w/ dependencies (both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk), I've recompiled without any issues at all and immediately de-compiled to make sure my changes "stick", and they do. I then throw them into a flashable zip, wipe cache/dalvik, flash the zip and fix permissions, no go.
I'm following a guide that was originally posted in the GS2 forum that instructs us to do the following:
1) SystemUI StatusBar.smali - locate the "...Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V" statement and change the const/v16 above it from "const/16 v16, 0x4" to "const/16 v16, -0x3".
2) Go to res > values > drawables.xml and edit "status_bar_background" hex to #7f000000 for 50% transparency.
This didn't work on its own, so on top of that I also tried implementing the same sort of change mentioned in #1 above on both the PhoneStatusBar and TabletStatusBar.smali files. Still no go. The system boots no problem, but just no change in the visual appearance of the status bar.
Does anyone have any ideas outside of this on what smali file or statement in the above files might control this feature? I'm still digging but didn't know if others had attempted this. Thanks to any and all who are willing to help. I don't need anyone to look at code for me, just a gentle shove in the right direction would be fantastic!
+1 for this.
I'd love to see this work.

was looking for something like that for month.
I'll get there...The solution cannot be far off from what has already been documented. However it seems others have not yet been able to do it on this device...probably just because there are more pressing projects underway. Guess it's up to us noobs lol

Does tw use a standard grey block to extend the background for the status bar? It sounds like it would and if that is do you could try adding that grey colour to an alpha channel on the image.
Just a thought

I'll have a look this week!
You need to modify the "tw_" variants of the status bar definitions to see anything happen, TouchWiz UI does not use the regular assets/definitions.

No problem, I spent most of last night working out how to move the system bar from the bottom of the screen to the top using a decompiled SystemUI from the TouchWiz rom for the Galaxy Tab. You might find that even though you make the bar transparent that the area behind it is black anyway (it is for me at least using the official 4.0.4 rom) due to it assuming that the system bar is being rendered there. I'm yet to figure out how to manipulate the rest of the WindowManager environment to fix the issue.

Guys, I have spent all day in the forums, ABD, Kitchen and the tool kit. Hours of scouring code and looking for the N2 version of the statusbarpolicy. smali that I would use to edit and disable the status bar clock completely. Can anyone direct me to the right place to edit the code in this beast to remove day and time from the bar?

Have you tried changing the value for status_bar_clock_text_size to 0.0dip in values/dimens.xml?

Nope.... That's why I wanted to ask for ideas - I was dead set on going after removal and not seeing the forest through the trees
Live life on the edge or your taking up too much space...
Ok, now I'm really lost and should probably post in the jb forum on this, I'm used to the dimens file being in \res\values.... I'm starting to show my noob side here....

Yeah that's the correct location, did you make sure you decompiled and not just extracted the apk?

I am probably not super qualified yet to answer this but maybe can help. When I use morphology to customize whichever rom I am on, it asks as one of the customizations if you want to disable status bar clock altogether. I dont know what rom (s) you are using but it works on jb, jedi, and clean. Or ask the dev, maybe he will help you.

The Beans ROM has the option to remove the clock from the status bar, so if you look at that code or maybe PM beanstown, the dev, you may find an answer. Apologies if not helpful.
You can download tweakbox. While it won't rid you of a clock, you can hide it by changing the color.

I also think the ability to remove the bloatware would be awesome. I found that after rooting and using TB to delete the apps I won't use they reappear after reboot. Very surprising! But then again I'm fairly new to droid after 5 years with iPhone.
Very much looking forward to the ROMs available for this device. The developer work done here is amazing. Thank you!
no clock, transparent status bar, and no clock with transparent status bar. These will work on any ROM based on 1.26.502.10 (stk is short for stock, sorry if that's confusing). If the ROM you're using has other SystemUI mods (battery, EQS, etc), this will overwrite those. Flashable in recovery
Edit: transparent status bar is no more transparent then stock in the launcher and not at all in apps. So that mod is a fail. I'll look closer tomorrow

I have a debloat tool posted in the Dev section for exactly that. The reason this happens is due to new nand protection on the /system/ partition... any changes that are made while the ROM is booted will revert upon reboot. So changes either need to be made while the ROM is not booted (in recovery), or you need to install a custom kernel that has this proection disabled..
