can anyone make a transparent status bar ?or do you know a guide and i`ll make one myself ,didn`t find one. i want for sense .
Manual method :
1. Pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework
2. Extract the apk and find the drawable MDPI/LDPI which there is a many icons
3. Find all status bar icon
4. Edit in on Photoshop or any editor
5. Change the opacity to 50-80%(0%=Blank no status bar LOL )
6. Copy the png to the apk(ZIP not the extracted one)
7. Push it to /system/framework
8. REBOOT and PRAY
actually it's the basic method and old method without theme choser
don't forget to backup the original framework-res.apk or NANdroid Backup
blank status bar is good, shows only time and others status but what about metamorph ?anyone with photoshop wants to do this ?my laptop is not powerfull enough ,the rom is wildpuzzle so you can download the framework apk from there.
Look for the 2 Sense Themes - WildDazzler and AeroFire (It's listed in the Theme Thread, Just search for it). Both descriptions state they have Transparent Status bars, so, you can just take it from there, if you do now want to have the entire theme.
flashed them both and they are ugly
If you read completely what I wrote above, you can use the Status bar files from them, if you are unable to modify it yourself.
Well auleu let me know what you have in mind and i'll give it a shot
Like 3xeno said if you want to try it for yourself just edit the framework-res.apk by unzipping it, going to either LDPI, MDPI, or HDPI (doesnt apply since this is Wildfire).
Edit the status_bar_backround.png and any other status_bar_* related items.
Once done go to the root of the folder, select all and say send to zip. Make sure your file extensions arent hidden. Rename it to framework-res.apk
Now you have 3 options,
1. access phone through recovery using
adb shell, mount /system, cd /system/framework/, rm framework-res.apk, exit.
Then cd to your edited apk and then
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
reboot (dangerous option, try only if you sure you done everything correctly, regardless make a nandroid backup before doing so)
2. edit my aerofire zip by extracting it, removing everything besides the framework folder in the system folder, now copy your framework-res.apk to the framework folder, removing whats inside. Go to root of folder, select all, right click, send to compressed zip. then flash through recovery, reboot.
3. head to the uot.dakra.lt/ and run the framework-res.apk through it customizing what you want and then flash the resultant zip file.
Hope that helps
Does metamorp or Zip Themer work on Wildfire?? Tried them many time but couldnt bring them to work...any guides/suggestions ...
I tried, keeps rebooting, dont really have a lot of time to test as i'm writing an exam tomorrow.
Thing is i'm under the impression that it only works on mdpi devices, correct me if i'm wrong about this
Is it possible to make a transparent lockscreen with the same way?
I use DK Custom Froyo Rom.
A transparent lockscreen is in fact the exact same process, only difference is that you modify the com.htc.resources.apk instead of the framework-res.apk. If you want some idea on what needs modding, take a look at my aerofire theme mod, just extract the apk needed and take a look.
Just search the forum for lockscreen mods and you can do just about anything with it. That being said, widgetlocker? who uses that and why? i find it so frustrating due to (and i know this is a bit perfectionist or whatever) the 1 or 2 second delay that occurs between pressing the power button and seeing the lockscreen, i mean come on, sometimes it even shows the homescreen for a split second before showing the lockscreen and thats just not on for me

working on :
- more changed pictures like in the dialer app
- implementet reboot options ( done thanks to AdamTt instructions )
- still doubting about making the stock dock bar more transparent
- new lock screen

You can make home dock transparant too. So it will suit your theme.

I use the app from Doomlord for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123576
yes it will because it is another framework-res.apk but I can try to implement it, for now you can use the systemUI only, this will give you the transparant statusbar and notification background without the rest
edit :will add in theme, added in my to do list
I tried it now (but only systemui.apk yet), thanks!
However you got me a little curious: Have you tried to make it totally transparent (both statusbar and notification background)?
Of course it would make it hard to read if you have a bright background but for me that uses my own Monochrome (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129129) I think it would be nice.
You mean the white behind the text of a notification ?
Hi,
I meant the semi-transparent background in both cases. However, I tested a little in Paint.net and I don't think it would be a good idea to have the statusbar completely 100% transparent, it's fine as it is.
The notification backgound, I think that could be even more transparent without looking strange? Today it looks a little "steamy windows" but it is certainly better than original.
Thanks again!
Want to try but everytime I try via phone I get download unsuccessful :-( any ideas or can it be uploaded here

he guys I'm working on implementing the reboot option but I still advice to use the app from doomlord because there you also have the reboot in fastboot and reboot in recovery menu
V2 is out !!!
Reboot option in power menu added, this is originaly from AdamTt and can be found in his thread here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094730
Got it at last loving this theme thanks
Compatible with FR ?
don't know exactly what you mean, what is FR ?
a French firmware
yes, that should not give any problems at all

Try UOT Kitchen
You can change almost all of phone's graphic. (Battery, digital watch, lockscreen etc.) Only thing you need - framework-res.apk from your firmware and rooted phone
When you'll be ready DO NOT flash zip file that you will get! Just unzip it and replace original (Do not forget to set right permissons!)

Hey,
I want to replace my stock screenlock on CM7 to Widgetlocker.
I've read multiple topics, but I haven't find what i want to.
I know that I have to make a flashable zip and install it under the recovery.
But for Gods sake, I don't know how to make this flashable zip with Widgetlocker.
Anybody?
Not entirely sure what it is you are looking to do that requires you to have a flash-able zip,
But for widgetlocker to work all you need to do is install it from market or where ever then disable your lock screen (Original) will be in Settings>Security (something along those lines) then to your application drawer open widgetlocker and set your desired lock screen, if you are downloading extra lock screens simply mount your SDCard and place the .wltheme.zip files you download in SDCard>Data>Widgetlocker un-mount and open up widgetlocker again and choose your theme
I want to completly remove the stock lockscreen from Android and it that place move the Widgetlocker.
Just do what i have mentioned above and disable it, just noticed you are using cm7, you can do this in..
Settings>Cyanogen Mod>Tablet Tweaks>Disable Lock Screen
I do not know of any other way unless it can be done by taking apart settings.apk or cyanogen mod.apk (if their is such a thing) on a desktop computer and removing the necessary code and then copying it back over to your phone, but that is way beyond my level of knowledge.
Can anyone make me a flashable zip to change my icon to the blue ASOP Icon? Or show me a way to do it myself?
Here i just put this together for you, all you need to do is open the zip with a program like 7zip and go to.... \vrtheme\system\app\Mms.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\ and replace the messages.png with the one you want(make sure you name it exactly the same) then just flash in recovery
DOWNLOAD
Hope i helped
Thank you so much!
