Been trying to figure out what to edit in TW JB StatusUI.apk to make the backgrounds of the actual notifications themselves transparent. Tried editing a bunch of xmls, but I've only found values for the status bar, the notification dropdown background, and the categories and whatnot in the notification dropdown.
I suspect that the files I need to edit are some of the .9.png files in xhdpi, but I've also found that I can't edit or add any 9patch files without causing SystemUI.apk to fail to recompile, so I haven't been able to test those files. Probably just doing something wrong, there, as I've never messed with those files before.
Looking through the GS3 and GN2 question forums hasn't yielded much in the way of answers for this, so I'm just going to ask here. Any ideas?
Edit: This background (from a different phone): http://s15.postimage.org/y8ad3u917/Screenshot_2012_10_03_17_59_49.png
I got my 9patch files working, still can't figure this out. I can make the status bar transparent, the notification dropdown windown transparent, the quick toggles transparent, but I just can't find what actually sets the background for the notifications themselves!
This is seriously causing me a massive headache. I've edited so many png files at this point that I think I'm losing my mind.
Hi there, willl this help?

Currently theming and I wanted to change the colors of certain title bars, but cannot find the XML files associated with the color codes. I have looked in the droid developer website and XDA and haven't found the needed info. I also attached images so persons who may know can answer; some stuff I just wanted confirmed. I would like to change some settings title bar colors and some texts. The arrows point out what I need to change, and the fonts of what I want to change are underlined. This is for the droid charge, just so people know.
[Edit]
I have seen people put images in the title bar in settings so if anyone knows how to do this or has a link to anything about what i mentioned I'd appreciate any links or valid help.
in the 3rd screenshot of the settings bar, that can be edited in framework.res.apk, just look for the bar in drawable-mdpi folder in framework.res.apk and use gimp or photoshop to change the color
nope no good i have edited xmls within framework and none of them change the bars i want. i have edited the pull down bar, MMS apk colors, secondary colors, and none have edited what i wanted. thank you for the post though.
i know it is either in colors, drawable, layout, or values.
The bars have to be in framework, I edited mine and it works using apk manager. hmmmm did you check system.ui?
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
yea i have it only changes it for certain instances. the top of the MMS, GMail, the home screen top bar changed, but those i SS in the OP did not change even though i have themed all of the framework-res.apk.
I looking for app, mod or tips how to hide ICS status bar while in webtop mode. I tried few apps but all doesn't work. Is there any solution to hide it while watching movie?
To avoid misunderstanding: I'm talking about ICS Webtop mode and status bar on the bottom, not ICS standard drop down notification bar.
Edit: IMO it's stupid to develop that kind of bar which takes about 5 - 10% of screen without possibility to hide it.
Edit: Mod is available:

The HTC One X had issues with games and movies showing on screen buttons while it was in a game/movie, much like the webtop mode does.
there was a patch released that fixed that
located here

possibly could steal code from them to work for us?
also looks like deodexing is needed
I found soultion in this thread but it's about CM9, I'm not sure it is even possible to apply this to ICS

In diff.txt I have some files with *.xml extension which I can find and also files with *.java extension and this files I coudn't locate. All files in decompiled android.policy folder looks different then those in diff.txt
I uploaded decompiled folders and I asking for help, what files should I edit. I'm not asking to do whole job as I want finally do something on my own.

Thanks
So i just started to customize my Streak, modifying the SystemUI.apk. So far I only managed to modify the notification bar/pull-down.
Some questions i couldn't solve myself, help would be appreciated:
As the lock screen is semi-transparent, my guess is that there could be a PNG-file for its bg. Where to find it to edit it, or am I totally wrong?
Also, where to change the other stuffs shown on the lock screen?
How does the battery icon in the notification bar work? It doesn't appear to be a set of PNG-files like the other objects in the notification bar.
Thanks for your help!
Here's another question:
After using apkmultitool to decompile SystemUI.apk, editing some hexcodes, then recompiling it again, I have no statusbar anymore!
What could be the problem?
Hi,
Got a question that hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I want to edit systemui.apk to remove white bars and notification quick settings bar as seen in my attached pictures.
I know how to decompile apk and all different stuff just need to know what changes are to be done inside SystemUI.apk - or where it points to these two?
The issue caused by my phone having a "stock" android 4.3 with some additional changes made to it.
I want to remove quicksettings all together (Don't use them) and change the bottom "clear" all bar to transparent so it doesn't colour blend.
Want to make the notifications black / transparent as well so they don't colour blend.
Could you please assist?
Thank you :highfive:
Tiny bump, no one no? I can upload a copy of my systemui.apk if that would help?
so I'm really wanting to find an easier way to change the size of the AM/pm text size on the status bar. I've spent at least 5 hours trying to learn how to do it by decompile & recompile the SystemUI apk and edditing the code within it, but failed. and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of an easier way?? I have g3tweakbox and it has a custom html section for the clock, but I can't seem to get the code to work.

If you are rooted there is a program called Gravity Box. I use a version for Lollipop. It will do alot of things for the look of your phone including resizing the am/pm indicator. Good luck and hit thanks if I helped. (pls excuse blantant self promotion. )
