I'm running 4.4.2 on nexus 5. All I'm trying to do is put a custom carrier logo image in the top left of my status bar. I used the method in this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/themes-apps/mods-guides-theme-ref-ics-mods-t1365810 to do it. Although this is for ICS roms specifically, I compared both status_bar.xml's from KK and ICS and they are VERY simlar. So I figured this would work. I like to do most of my themeing with the use of zip themer so I built a custom image (yes, its the correct size) called "carrier_logo.png" and stuck it my drawable-xxhdpi folder and added that line of code to my status_bar.xml and flashed the update.zip. When I reboot, the phone is in chaos and I get a repeated message over and over that systemUI has stopped, plus my status bar is completely gone lol. I'm assuming that line of code is just not compatible with KK systemui. So...how do I go about calling an image from my drawable-xxhdpi folder into the status bar's top left corner from my status_bar.xml?
Anybody? I keep trying different methods and SystemUI keeps crashing on me.

Hi!
i've just flash open fire, after using CM7 for a long time
I hate the white bar on the top of the screen! how can i change theme or make it black? same in the background of sms..
is it also possible to install the fast button in the notification bar, like cyanogen?
no one know how to do it?
will an alternative launcher resolve my problem?
You will probably need a framework-res.apk from another ROM which is black (CM7's should work, but, I dont know 100%), pull the said file from your Openfire ROM, and push the new one. Ofcourse, you will need a bit of ADB knowledge for this.
As for power control in the notification bar, there are many apps claiming to do this on the market. Here are a few:
* Extended Controls
* Bartender
* Bar Control
* Power Control Plus
* Widgetsoid
* Quickdesk
thank you
CM7 framework-res will NOT work. OpenFire is 2.2, CM7 is 2.3. In fact, framework-res files arent even compatible with different nightly builds of CM7 many a time.
As for your question, you can try tweaking the framework-res.apk. open it with a zip file manager, and find the images in the drawable-mdpi or drawable-ldpi folder. find the image which looks like your title bar and edit it to your liking (paint, photoshop, watever). put it bak in the zip and save. then push it into the rom again.
the black statusbar should be called statusbar_background.9 png in cm7 (it is found in systemui.apk), take that and rename it to whatever the status bar is called in openfire and place it in your framework-res.apk/drawable_mdpi folder. then flash or adb push.
Hello all,
I am modding my notification bar but I am not getting the expected results. So far I have done:
* Deodexed my Atrix
* Copied the framework-res.apk to my computer
* Changed the images using UOT Kitchen
* Confirmed the imagens where changed, opening the framework-res in my computer.
So far, so good. But when I put the framework-res back to my phone I can see the notification bar black (the new color I have selected), with all text colors I set but all the icons still with the default ones, except the battery one. How should I proceed to change this stock Blur icons? I have looked everywhere and I have not found anything about it.
Thank and Regards
Ps: My Atrix is Retail Brazilian.
before trying that you should download the app "widgetsoid" it lets you customize the app bar to your liking.
try a different set of icons, im using the gingerbread set and it works perfectly
Are you just copying and pasting the new framework-res over the old one or flashing it with CWM?
You need to flash with CWM.
I was just copying it over and rebooting the cellphone. I will test also with CWM!
Thanks everyone for the help
On every phone froyo and above, when you're on the phone, there's this green bar that moves across and fills the status bar over and over again. Is there any way to remove this or change it's color?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've never seen that before.
--EDIT--
The status bar flashes green on the stock Photon ROM. Apparently it only does this when you have a call in the background and are doing something else. I was not aware you could do this on android phones.
For example, if you have WiFi on and receive a call (the 4G/3G/1xRTT radios are off during a call), put it on speakerphone, you can then talk to someone and surf the web (such as check on something for your caller)
Yes. This is known. But I didn't ask if you can use your device for other things while making a call.
What I asked was while in a call and the status bar is flashing green, can the flashing color be made to change to more match a theme? Can that bar be made blue or red or any other color? Can it be turned off? If so, how? Changing the color would be nice.
Is this another digging into frameworkres or is there an easier way? If this is a frameworkres thing, can anybody post details? And if it IS a frameworkres issue, has anyone made a good tool to work with it and if not a tool, a good roadmap for things to change? A tool would be nice and I'm guessing the android community might be developed enough that it's been done, hopefully?
I have edited this. You need to go into the SystemUI.apk.
1) Download 7zip
2) Install 7zip
3) Copy your SystemUI.apk to your computer
4) Open SystemUI.apk using 7zip (Open Archive)
5) at the same time extract your SystemUI.apk to your computer so you have the folder and archive window open side by side
6) In both folders, go to res/drawable-hdpi
7) Look for status_bar_background_animation1 though status_bar_background6
8) Change them in the extracted folder, and save
9) Drag the newly created images into the 7zip archive folder and then close it
10) move the SystemUI.apk to your sdcard
11) Move the file again to system/media
12) Change permissions by longpressing to RW-R-R
13) Move to system/app
14) Reboot, Enjoy!
I've used the search, but I found only a guide, but it doesn't work...
so, I ask another time your help.
I want to change the status bar icons (for example, the icon who appears when you insert the headphones) and the toggle icons (for example the toggle for put on wifi, hotspot, bluetooth, and much more).
I tried to download sdk tools, jdk, and apk tools.
I took the original SystemUI.apk with the root explorer, I extracted it with apktool (I've inserted "apktool d SystemUI.apk"). This systemui is for cm 7.2.
I extracted another SystemUI.apk, which is for stock roms (2.3.6), I went on res/drawable-mdpi and I took 2 wifi icons (on and off, there was the icons for the wifi toggle). So, I resized them with GIMP, because there was 70x70, and in the SystemUI for the cm 7 the toggle icons are 36x36. I've insered even the trasparent background.
So, I copied these icons in the res/drawable-mdpi of the SystemUI for the CM 7 and I return back to the .apk file ("apktool b SystemUI").
I put it in my phone, I put on system/app with root explorer, I've assigned the right permissions, but when I rebooted the phone, there was any status bar! But I think I do all correctly, because I resized the files 36x36, and I didn't touch anything.
Anyone can help me?
again, sorry for my bad english.
There are Some Guides In Android theme sections How to change icons of SB and Toggles just follow them 101% working

I'm using the themed rom (10E) that was created by Kuma and everything turned out fine, I tried patching the file to remove the Q-Apps from the notification bar and I ended up making the entire bar disappear. Now the bar at the top is completely gone, factory resetting/flashing the zip again won't bring it back. How can I fix it and bring the entire status bar back? I understand it may be a problem with SystemUI.apk. If someone has a copy of that I can put back on my phone? As well as where to put it? Thanks!
Just replace SystemUI.apk with the one in the ROM zip (if that is the only apk you patched).
