Does anyone know how to make the notification pull down semi-transparent? I'm OK with vrtheme, but have no idea what to change with TW. I have seen it done in a few MODS for the phone but none by themselves. I have seen the option with Multi Mod but it isn't ready to go yet.

Its an xml edit, decompile the systemui.apk, go to res/ values/ drawables.xml. Open that xml with notepad++ or a similar text editor, go the the line "notification_background_color" change from ff000000 to 80000000 for semi trans the lower the first number the more transparent it will be. Then recompile the systemui.apk. Then either you can pull the resources.arsc file from the built apk and put in a vrtheme flashable, or just push the whole new systemui.apk to your phone.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.
Can you make a apk or flashable zip of this?

Hey guys,
I am customizing ICS LP8 Rom. Any one know how what I need to edit in "framework-res.apk" to make the drop down notification background from status bar transparent??
Tks
I think you want twframework-res.apk, not framework-res.apk.
After decompiling, look in twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi for status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png.
Sorry, actually, I think it's in SystemUI.apk? I can't remember... but the file name is still status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png, I believe.
EDIT: Boy, I'm rusty.
Should be in framework-res.apk after all: /res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png.

Ok, I was looking at an old project when I de-compiled framework-res.apk to mod my battery icon. Could be out-dated and wrong... give me a sec.
EDIT: hold on, actually. Are you on odexed stock? Because I am.... and it could be different for you if you are deodexed, or running a custom ROM.
EDIT 2: ok, I've downloaded my (stock, odexed) framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk. I found my notification background in both framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk, both in /res/drawable-hdpi, both named status_bar_background.png. I'm not sure which one it is though.

Hmm... then I'm guessing it would be in your SystemUI.apk. Check there. Decompile, look in /res/drawable-hdpi for all the images starting with "status_bar...".
If you don't find it there, look in the same location, same criteria, in framework-res.apk.
I'm building a custom ROM for my XPERIA Mini Pro.
I really need the CM9 circle battery and blue notification icons (they also can be found in Real ICS).
I tried using UOT, but it changed only the oower icons (not the network and battery).
Thank you!

Yes, It's that easy. For example, for my SK17 and MK16 i replaced the battery icons for the ones in the xperia gx (or maybe any nxt), because the battery icon has a white border and it's more visible
I used 7zip to open systemui.apk, the i extracted the folder named res, inside res are many folders, some say HDPI or MDPI, in one of these are the battery icons...replace or edite the ones you want and open systemui again and drag and drop the new res folder, say yes to whatever messange and you are done :good:

I have a problem:
I pull files. Install the frameworks (framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk), then decompile SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
Add the icons (from the Tackle My Android presents). Recompile the files and Prepare sys app for pushing and then push the files.
Now status bar is missing (if i push back the original systemui and framework-res it's pack).
BTW I get "W: Cannot find sources" for framework-res
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
Manually decompiling and recompiling did the job. It works now .... But charging animation is not that smooth as the one I extracted it from? (note I updated the corresponding xml file too).

You can use ninjamorph for changing status bar background image
But it will only work if the status_bar.xml has a @drawable value for status bar background
If it doesn't and has a hexadecimal value it will not work as it's not pointing to a picture that can be changed
You will need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the value to @drawable/name of image and then place the image in the drawable-ldpi folder
You can change any other status bar image but it's a slow way of doing it as you can only change one image at a time (you can change as many as you like before you confirm change & apply I mean you cant multi select)
It's easier to unzip the apk & replace files
At op - to avoid confusion of warze instead of posting link to Dropbox post the link to download from the playstore - will also mean people will be downloading latest version
This is playstore link

You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone
(there are apps to edit xml files on phone but they don't work with android compressed xml files within apk)
@marcus
Thanks mahn... Uh explained them rightly... (Y)
I don't like ninja morph!
What I do is rename the apk to .zip and make changes inside the zip with powergrasp. And when done rename it again

That is easier if you have a lot of mods to do
Ninjamorph was created to change a single file quickly on the fly - its not designed for multiple file replacements

Depends what you tried to change
For example of if you tried to change the status bar background image and there's not an entry in status_bar.xml for a @drawable png image it would be impossible to change using ninjamorph as there is no pointer to an image in systemui.apk
And of course you have to finish the project and apply changes without zip aligning
It does work if used correctly and for the right use
You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers

is this a debate thread?
ninjamorph is just a simple and user friendly tool
there is also a script that manages to change png files using terminal emulator
i use both.
i dont like extract and rezip for some reasons
Please stop all of this.... Its just a app..
So if any one want and they don't know about it then they can get...
So please stop arguing about which bad or good app... As all apps are made by some efforts of developer, so we should respect that effort instead of argueing about which is best !
op you were not the first here. it is already introduced to us. with tutorial on how to use the ninjamorph and the dos and dont. with screenshot and examples of finished products too. try to search the forum before posting

hi, can anyone replace icons from archive to apk in archive ? http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/52683022/file.html because when I'm doing it and changing this app in system/app icons are stretched, I changed icons via WinRar because when I'm trying to de/recompile this app via apk tool and other similar applications I have errors and can't do it properly
regards
Yes... But I need the original .pngs (those are from a decompiled .apk) - you can obtain them easy just unzip that .apk using "7 zip". And the framework-res.apk from the same folder (framework) as SemcGenericUxpRes.apk you are trying to modify (because I need to install it in my "APK Multi-Tool", otherwise I can't recompile the .apk)
so here is my framework and original icons http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/11770168/file.html
XperienceD said:
Quick Tip: If all you want to do is edit or replace normal images, things like your Status Bar icons or Menu icons like those used in the main screen of Settings then decompiling IS NOT necessary, simply open the apk in a zip program then just drag and drop any replacement images in to the correct folder, for images like your actual Status Bar which may have a .9 at the end then decompiling IS required.
Note: It's important to use STORE as the compression method when replacing images in the apk.
Also Note: .9 pngs need to be edited ONLY when in the decompiled folder, if you just take a .9 png and edit it then you won't be able to see the borders that the system needs to determine how that image should be displayed. I have included links at the end of this post to help with .9 editing along with links to other various theming resources that I've come across and bookmarked.

Those that you uploaded the first time was from a decompiled .apk, and the ones uploaded the second time (with framework-res.apk) are already included in SemcGenericUxpRes.apk. Give me those and I promise I'll give you SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in max. 10 minutes after.

You must decompile LGSystemUI.apk, then find&replace icons in /res/drawable-hdpi/ folder, must be same size (picture-no data) and type (usually .png).
Some of icons is in lge-res.apk and framework-res.apk. Procedure is same.
Files must be deodexed.
Recompile and enjoy.
Thank you!!

All of this you need if you want to use VTS.
That is good base for start and understand this process (and works with kitkat).
And for virtuos ten studio, first you MUST read tutorials at this page: http://virtuous-ten-studio.com/, but if you don't understand base of whole process, VTS is useless.

I dont know where you take only icons, you must take it by yourself from LGSystemUI, or framework-res from original G3 rom.
Try to extract from here: https://app.box.com/s/m0tvrwabte4x6lyc2la1, if they look like in attached pic.
Or try to search or ask someone on G3 forum.
