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
Does anyone know if there's a mod available to make the status bar transparent on the Legend (CM7.1)?
I came across following site: uot.dakra.lt/kitchen but it looks quite complicated
1. Make backup of your SystemUI.apk (and SystemUI.odex if it is there)
2. Download file attached
3. Put that file (SystemUI.apk) into your /system/
4. Set permission to rw-r--r--
5. Delete SystemUI.odex if it is inside /system/app/
6. Copy/move and replace modded SystemUI.apk from step 3 into /system/app/
7. Reboot
Note:
1. I set the status bar background to grey colored when you pull down the statusbar to avoid the date overlapping with clock.
2. Notification icons will overlapped with centered clock when it is too many. Dont have much time to at least try to find a way to fix it. If you do have, please share.
Edit: Dont forget to do nandroid backup..
If you are looking for transparent status bar for 7.1..
You can always apply this.. TGF-Theme-Patcher-7.1-Final
Thanks for your replies!
I installed attached SystemUI.apk according to instructions. After reboot I had a black non-transparent status bar with centered clock.
TGF-Theme-Patcher-7.1-Final gave me a bootloop. Luckily I made a nandroid backup..

Mmm.. lucky u did a backup.. ( )
but its weird.. as I did used that patch for a quite a long time now..
Maybe because i forgot to mention.. Its for the CM7.1 Stable only..
But if i remember correctly.. TGF did mention that it in his post..

Black non-transparent statusbar is known issues with some launchers and there are several ways to resolve it.
One way is to use livewallpaer apps (the reason it become black is simply because your launcher didn't "draw" your wallpaper below that statusbar thus those apps resolve it such as walypyrus etc) but it takes very big memory.
If you use Go launcher, just enable the high quality drawing in preferences then restart your go launcher.
If use adw, it is the "wallpaper hack" setting.
I'm using Launcher Pro. Should it work with this Launcher?

Not sure for launcher pro but it definitely works for GO.

If you want to know if the mod will work in pro launcher, i cant say for sure but i think there is one option to enable high quality drawing as well for LP, you can try enable it and see how.
To make it even more complicated: I am now running CM 7.2.0 RC2
Has anyone managed to make the status bar transparent for this version?
Transparent status bar on Legend (CM7)?
I still do not fully understand the issue with applying a transparent status bar.
This is what I have tried so far:
- UOT Kitchen: uploaded and patched my framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk using Status bar mod. Resulting zip file has been installed with ROM Manager. (Option to wipe Dalvik cache was checked.)
- tried out several CM7 themes that include transparent status bar
- installed and applied MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
Nothing worked so far.
I am currently using Cyanogenmod 7.2 Nightly of June 3rd.
Does a rom need to be 'deodexed' to be compatible with themes that contain a transparent status bar?
And why aren't all custom roms just compatible with themes that offer transparency in the first place??

You cannot just simply take systemui and framework and mod it bcoz our cm7 are odexed. You have to de-odex it first.
One simple way is just take the apk i attached previously, push it to /system/app/, set correct permission on it, then afterward it will depend on which launcher you use. Can confirm it worked in latest nightlies cm7.2 using go launcher with high quality draw option enabled.

thanks Feed,
I have installed your SytemUI.apk and set correct permissions.
I also installed Go Launcher with options "High quality drawing" and "Support transparent status bar" turned on.
I have tried several themes with transparency, but status bar is still black.
Digital clock is now in the middle of sb though.
What do I do wrong?
Did you delete SystemUI.odex after you replace SystemUI.apk with mine? You have to delete that file (SystemUI.odex), maybe that is the cause?
It works!! I must have forgotten to delete the .odex file. Thank you so much for all your help!
I can confirm it works with Cyanogenmod 7.2 Nightly from June 10th.
It looks great with the Alpha 7 theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597008
I'm very curious to know how come your patched SystemUI.apk works whereas my rom is not deodexed?

Well, the simple version of explanation is, it is just the same case as when you install other apps (any apps) that is not odexed. .odex files containing some codes of the apps that is initial and will be loaded during certain stage during bootup thus make it faster for you to launch and run the apps. When you deodexed it, the process just combining/compressing/zipalining these two files (abc.apk & abc.odex) into single .apk file and basically everything inside it just pretty much the same as what is inside odexed apk version. Thats why it is still work even though all other apps is still odexed as your rom is not deodexed.
If you want to experimanting further, you can get some modded MDPI Mms.apk out there (that have conversation list of sms for example), copy and replace Mms.apk into your /system/app/ and delete the Mms.odex, then you can understand what i said.
Just can't get this to work
I deled the odex file, but the status bar is still black...
I use Go Launcher and I set the options: Hight Quality and Transparent Status Bar.
PS: I'm using CM 7.2 final
Are you sure your theme supports transparency?

feed3 thank you very much for this.... very helpful. If it is possible could you upload a version of this that doesn't have a centered clock? I have tried to do it myself but because the CM7.2 nightly's are not deodexed I am having a hard time.
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).
i accidentally overwrite my systemui.apk and lost my status bar and notification bar. if you guys still have a stock systemui.apk and framwork-res.apk can you guys help me how to set it up again so that i can still have my status and notification bar? much appreciated.
