Brighten the notification bar - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

How can you brighten the icons on the left side of the notification bar? Is anyone familiar with what hack would be needed to have the same level of brightness across the whole bar? What needs to be changed in the systemui apk?

Each notification icon you want to be "brighter" needs to be edited in each app you have a problem with. There is no way to make all of them the same in any easy manner.

There is a dimming that is done on the left side of the notification bar. There has to be a setting in systemui that is masking the brightness. You can see the difference in the icons when you see messages that appear brighter (with the same icon) in the notification bar.

Use meanbean 1.11 or meanbean ICE. that's an option he has included

[Q] stock notification bar?

can i have the stock eb01 notification bar for use on superclean?
As far as I know you can't change the bar but you can change the quick panel back to the touchwiz panel. If there is a way to change the bar I'd like to know about it as well.

It's been posted under a couple of names but a search for tw-res.zip should bring it up. You flash it in recovery and you will get the original gray and green quick panel.
I used it with SC until I started using a theme.

to change it yourself, you have to have some understanding of theming...its not particularly hard but that depends on what your want to do...the pulldown is resized in superclean, but swapping out status_bar_expanded.xml in the layout folder from a stock eb01 twframework-res.apk will size it the way it was stock.
or you could just pull a stock twframework (deodexed of course) and push/flash it if you dont want to do any of that

Two Little Things

1 - Any way to remove the vibration notification? I like to have vibrate on all the time, but I'd like to remove that icon.
2 - How do you set a full wallpaper? Even the ones Samsung gives you can only be snipped. I'm currently on Go Launcher, and those wallpapers are full sized. Anyone know how to make all images full size?
Thanks in advance.
you have to have the proper resolution for the wallpaper the samsung ones wont strech because of it.

Has anyone looked into this? I find the ever preset icon annoying enough to not use the feature. Is there an app to hide status bar icons?

I don't think I'd want to do that. I just want to get rid of unneeded, persistent icons. Especially since so many apps stick things in there just to prevent from closing.
i too cannot stand that stupid vibration icon, i know its in vibrate, hy do i need an icon for it also

Exactly! I also just installed the awesome Badass Battery Monitor * and am really interested in a solution for hiding unneeded notification icons. I can't believe this doesn't exist.
* - "awesome" is my opinion, "Badass" is actually part of the app's name

Sorry but another guy having problem with notification item. Certain apps like GTA 3 will stay on my notification bar after exiting the game. I tried the clear button but it won't go away until I reboot my phone. Any alternate way to get rid of?
Errrrrrr sorry I couldn't resist my question when I saw notification question.

In settings you can select transparent notification, which means no (visible) notification You can change priority to lowest, then there is no notification symbol at all. The problem then is that it maybe gets closed by android system, so transparent is better..

If you're looking for different icons for the notification toggles, other than the ones supplied with the app itself, then there's lots of good ones to choose from here :

With a bit of time & some GIMP work, you get what's in the screenshot below ( thanks to BlackBearBlanc for the base icons )

The 'off' icons are Dark Buttons 2
The 'on' icons are Dark Buttons 2 with the matching JBBlueGlow icon overlayed in GIMP, Photoshop,etc...and saved out.
I use SwitchWidget Pro and can change icons directly however I find there aren't enough of the system icons to complete my set:
Vibration Mode
Silent Mode
NFC
Flashlight
GPS
Auto-Sync
All the brightness options
I hope we can get them added??

Did you check all the options? With notification toggle you can have all what you mentioned, you can define what brightness changes should be available with every click (or have a menu to do it manually) etc.
What exactly are you missing there?

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.
Download Systemui.apk. Herehttp://db.tt/gtama91x

Nice man, definitely tidies up the bar a good bit.
Thanks, now I just need to change the color of the status bar

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.

[THEME]Droid DNA Cubed

I doubt I'll do much more with this. I took the parts of other things that were out there and rolled them up how I liked. The majority of this is from nitsuj17, some of it I got other places, and some of it I made myself.
Anybody who knows me knows I like some color in my status bar. I did not want to make a whole ROM, so I made this.
This is for a deodexed stock system.
It has:
Wake with volume keys
Hidden GPS icon
Hidden debugging icon
AOSP recents
Rotating Rosie
5x6 app drawer
Remap recents button
Hidden NFC icon
Advanced Power Menu
Removed three dots menu
Centered clock
Accurate battery
And of course, the colored icons in the status bar, and the custom lockring!
I think that's it. Flash it in recovery.

I noticed that when a text arrives, the centered clock interferes with the message.

Good work, man! You do a lot for this community. Keep on truckin' bro!!!
This is nice, but, why can't I find a volume wake zip for stock rooted deodexed anywhere? Could you please help? Thnx
Thanks for this. It's a good combo of tweaks/themes. Running on top of stock deodexed/rooted rom with cubed 2.4.2 kernel. Almost TOO much color in the status bar, had to switch from stock wallpaper to something more colorful!

How did you modify the lock ring? I didn't think m10 tools were updated yet, and I've tried editing the theme apks but it didn't work.

Hasn't been updated long, but it does work.

Great job mate! The colours are perfect. Any chance for a circle battery mod with similar colour
