[MORPH] Clear Formels Statusbar (Cyanogen 5 stable friendly)

Inspired from DocRambones Work (within the permission for Battery Icons) and the explanation of Metamorphing from Know-Fear (without his great explanation and help I can't do anything with Metamorph!!!!)
I've made a nice Clear Statusbar for your Nexus One.
Apply it like you apply a Metamorph Theme and have fun with it!
Look here:

Cool! Thank you very much for support!!

Love tha theme u and Doc should work together ;-)

Updated to Cyanogen 5.0.3

this is the coolest theme ever .i love it

Cool... thank you for the flowers...!!!
Know I know, that it is the right way to put my own themes to the world wide web.
It's nice to make somebody happy with it!

Only problem for me is that when using apps like the Browser where the background is white, you can't see the text on the statusbar :\

I'm getting FC on the Market during installation in MetaMorph. SMS notification icons don't get updated. Tried it on fresh install of CM. Anyone else getting this issue as well?

Do I push this somewhere or apply it in recovery as a .zip?
Sorry, new at this.

Hi,
at first, the market FC is normal by changing some things. Nothing matters, click it away.
The sms is icon is still in there. If you unzip this theme, you see a folder called "Mms", there is a folder named "res" and in it is "drawable-hdpi"
In this folder is the message icon. If it isn't there.....
I've changed it yesterday.
@mortzz:
This is no update file for recovery.
This is a metamorph theme. Install metamorph from market, put this file here on SD Card in the folder "AndroidThemes" The rest is quiet easy as looking on screen, understand what the Metamorph app says and only do it.

Update:
From now with
- Camera App now in Carbon - themed by m00m00, Thank you, bro!

Just noticed my issue. I am using TracballColorNotify 1.0beta3 and the program replaces the icon with the stock.
Anyway you could incorporate the morph to include changing the icon in the TrackballColorNotify apk?

Do we still have the issue with the white notification bar in the browser and gmail etc.?

You can't change the white statusbar on browser and gmail and market. Sorry.
This is not only a picture to change.
At trackball notify thread there is a link to a vresion with a modified notification icon. Is that, what you mean?
I can't do this in an metamorph theme. Then, everybody without that app becomes an failure.
I did it so:
I've downloaded the statusbarnotification app, opened it with 7 zip, put my sms notification into it and signed it new.
I don't know if I can share this version. I can ask lilhermit for permission if you dislike the notification icon on his app.

Nice, a wish from me though is that u can add and see the date as well in the status bar...can this be done?

Yes, we can! ;-)
I've released a new GlasStatusBar which can that exactly.
I think you've found it here in forum.

You can opt to skip adding morphs to each item the morph touches. This will allow you to add the option to morph trackball notify leaving it up to the user to either opt in or opt out for the change
Even if the user leaves it on without the app installed, the morphing of the rest of the items will succeed. I always remove a handful of stock apps that morphs look for (email.apk for example) and have yet to have one fail.

[MorphTheme] GlasStatusbar for ALL actual ROMs + preFroYo

For a few days I did a ClearStatusBar.
BUT:
I found it very awful, that nobody can read the time, when Market App or Browser is open. Damn, you're all right.
Now I did a new Theme, it's metamorph.
It's clear, but a little bit smoky on top, that we can see our clock on the upper left corner.
Look here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
New Battery Icons like on this picture
The blue homescreen is not the real statusbar, you can see it on first picture. I did this picture here, to show you the new notification icons.
What changes this morph:
- Statusbar
- Battery Icons
- WiFi Icons
- Mobile Icons
- GPS Icon
- Gmail Statusbar Icon
- Email Statusbar Icon
- SMS/MMS Statusbar Icon
- Google Talk Statusbar Icon
- Statusbar drawer
Installation and Downloads
At first I have to say something new!
The new Metamorph seems to be a bit unstable by applying themes with coloured text in the statusbars. Some of you have reported problems while applying it. So I have decided to make the theme applying in a few little steps.
This is a Metamorph Theme. You have to install Metamorph (or better: Metamorph Pro) from the market. Copy the following files to your SD Card in the folder "AndroidThemes"
If you have problems
Check following
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, and play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
5.2. If the notification text isn't white, reapply the second zip file. Metamorph is a bit buggy with it. I must apply it four times, but it still works
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you become error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"
7. If U use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro and have a Black StatusBar with static Wallpapers: Go to ADW Settings and Disable the "Wallpaper Hack" With LauncherPro there is no chance. Write this Problem to Fede from LauncherPro, that he make it switchable

HAVE FUN!!!

Absolutely perfect! Great job!

And again, you have created something that has found a home on my phone; thanks!

can u upload the file to another server, i can't sownload from 4shared.
thanks.
EDIT: download from my nexus and apply, thanks looks very nice

Thank you very very much for the good words!
I've had a mirror at rapidshare.
I hope it works for you.

Thanx ...... Greatly appreciated ......

Do you happen to have a morph of the original files incase someone wants to morph back??

Yes, I can do that.
But ts easier to flash simply the rom again. It will only overwrite these morphed files.
No wipe required.
But I think I can do that at weekend, only with changed graphics, so its usable for every ROM. I hope, I have the time.

Thank you so much Formel-LMS i like your works since hero

Looks nice. Only thing I can see that would need work (in my own personal taste) if the network connection icon. It looks funny in the black box. I think you should clear the background of it to only show the bars. (see my blue bar morph for examples http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636186)

Hi, Know-Fear,
I've tried many icons, but the Problem is, you can see them not so good.
In this theme, the GSM Network icons are stock, too.
But I will have a look into your theme and eventually use the Icons.
Thank you, bro!

The bars themselves will be black/gray until filled with white, so they should show up as good as your clock does. The is just no black box around them.

love this morph, was wondering if there is any chance you could make it work with the modaco desire rom, im currently running alpha 10 and i really like it , but miss this clear bar mod
thanks , steve

Sorry for the question but how I could install it?
It could be applied to the original N1 Rom?
thank you

Yes you will need root as well as the Metamorph app (available in the market).

Will this work on 5.0.4?

Just upgraded to Cyanogen 5.0.4
The Link is in first Post

Hi,
i installed the theme, but the clock in the top right hand corner is black so i cant see it.
in the your screen shots it is white, have i done something wrong?
thanks

??? Anybody else this problems? I have it on my nexus and the clock is white.
Have you Cyanogen 5 and all of this theme installed?
Probably you should have it to redownload and try again.

[Theme] OMP v.1 CM5.0.6

Hi all!
Here is my first theme, install using Metamorph - works well on Cyanogen 5.0.6 also but I can't edit the title :\

Edited the launcher with custom icons - see screenshots +the app background (when klicked) from orange to blue
Edited the statusbar to match the grey launcher
Edited the notification dropdown field
Changed the fontcolor to white (status bar)
A whole bunch of custom icons
The rest of the icons are ported from desire/stock and edited to match the theme
The power widget changed back to green illumination instead of cyan (stock instead of CM)
Changed the ugly icons in Mms.apk (the sms/mms pending, sent, error - next to the message texts)
Many app icons changed to match the theme
Camera lounch icon changed to stock (I run the desire camera MOD but liked the stock icon better, this changes the icon to stock if you have desire camera mod, for the rest of you this will not do anything noticable)

looks hot. you gonna make that grey and white minimalist thing system wide? I hope so I always thought that would look amazing on android. keep it up.

Looks brilliant, if you make that system-wide. On the other hand, I'm worried that your battery icon won't play nice with battery percentage, but then again I guess I can put a morph for battery icons on top.

Looks real good. Will you make it work for 5.0.6 when its done?

Thank you guys!
Yes I was thinking of making it gray/white/blue system wide, we will see how far my skills takes that
I am personnaly not using percentage on the battery icon, but I guess I could turn it 90 degrees CCW so it works with that too, or is it something with the color?
I will be sweitching to 5.0.6 shortly so there should not be any problems porting it i believe.

B

Wow looks good can't wait for it to be compatible with 5.0.6 and please keep the battery the way it is. Also what calendar widget is that?

Nice theme!
Please release a metamorph build of this.
To learn how to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329

Can you make the launcher icon and screen indicators white and maybe release it as a seperate mod?? Again nice work
Thanks.

By far the best theme for nexus I've seen. The statusbar color, font, icons all seem to blend like a theme straight from htc : ) Hope to see this work with CM 5.0.6

Thanks guys for your support and requests. I will help you with your request as soon as I get more time on my hands, realy busy right now!
I have done some more work on it, posted a new screen in my first post and replaced the first screen with an updated one.
I am running 5.0.5 right now but will upgrade later to 5.0.6 so I can test/edit it so it works. It should work on 5.0.6 also but I have not been able to test this yet. If it don't work, you could manually push the .png files and replace those in 5.0.6.
The calendar widget is smooth calendar from market, slightly edited in the settings of the widget.
I have not been able to use the colorChange.jar to update the text colors, will probly have to do that manually using smali/baksmali but I have to figure it out first. See the last screen of what I need to accomplish before it is ready.
Have edited more icons but not finished with all of them. Will also edit many of the .apks in system/app so the corresponding icons match those of my theme (the sms, email, gmail etc)
Here is a metamorph of my theme as it is now, not completely finished but works well (tested). Some icons and text colors are off but very usable still. It includes framework-res.apk and launcher2.apk from cyanogen 5.0.5.3
http://public.openmindedprojects.com/OMP.zip
Will work on it and update as soon as I can! (very hectic for me right now)
Regards,
B

Gonna test it out later tonight when i get home from work.
Looks really good, keep up the great work.

Couldnt wait. Flashed it on 5.0.6 and it looks great but I change to the desire status bar to match my wallpaper.
Love the launcher icon.

Looking good Glad it worked and that you like it.
Have added a couple more icons, will update as soon as there are enough changes worth updating.

It looks good, nice slate look.

Hope to see an update on the theme soon

It´s noShame thats making this theme. Ask him

I have released the "final" version now, check the updated 1st post for details!
die-hard: I think that spare parts have that option, not sure how it will play with the icon as it is light. Maybe can make the % font black?

Looks good, nice work
Is the mobiloperator name supposed to be gray or white? Its gray for me

Sorry the services.jar got mixed up, have updated the zip file - better now?
The text should be white and black as in the screenshots.

Nice Theme....only one problem...it is RED!!!...I would love it in blue

This theme is beautiful, It looks like you put so much work into it! it goes great with my speck case I have 2 requests though
- a patch for a stock battery but with red insides
- a patch for stock lock pattern dots
thank youuuu

Very nice work! Just installed over skyraider and it looks great.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Very nice work ! However too red for me, blue would be killer !
Regards

dude what a theme, wow, incredible work.

Just installed on the 8-1 dated New Leak and looks great except for one big thing:
Please remove the red line under the notification tray.
It sticks out way too much and stops any black backrounds from blending in seemlessly with the notification tray. It also doesn't look right as the battery icon and red line overlap each other.
Again I think it would look cleaner without it.

Like stated in my first post, this is a work in progress. I am aware of the icons resting on the line and have been slowly but surely raising them up so they do not. I messed around a bit just making the notification area just black without the red line and it didnt look right. I will play around with it again.

If your ROM is based of the 08/01/2010 leak then yes it should work.

Does there have to be any line of any color? I think just removing the line would be great if possible otherwise I would take black or whatever color the rest of the notification bar is.
Anyway thanks for all your work you can tell how much polish went into this.

Can you post the wallpaper that is shown is the first image? That in my opinion is what makes the theme awesome.

Having it solid black notification area looks incomplete. The trick is having it blend (transparency) but doesn't look funky when the notification area is pulled down. I am working on it now.

CM 7 - Changing notification bar to white

I am running CM7 the latest stable release, April 11th or so. I want to have a white notification/status bar with the time, clock, battery, alarm, gps, and 3g text in black. Also I want the drop down notification menu to also be white. Basically, black/dark gray and white/light gray completely inverted of what it looks like now. There are a couple ADW themes, such as "ADW.theme.one", whose screenshots show this type of color scheme, but for some reason do not have this effect on my phone.
Yes, I know there is a kitchen for doing this, but it doesnt change the color of the text. I know that this is possible by editing framework-res.apk. I just need a little help finding this file, knowing what values to change, and then how to apply/flash it back to the phone to make the changes. Please help?

Check out the JAMT theme on the android themes board. Its a white theme.

But this will do for now. I just need to find a nicer wallpaper to go with it!

I went through this same thing a while ago. Download NinjaMorph, and that will extract your framework. Most of the files you'll play with will be in drawable-hdpi. When you extract the framework-res.apk, it'll show you all the PNG files. I'd just transfer everything to your computer, change what you want in drawable-hdpi (I know the notification icons are there, I'm not sure about the bar itself - I've never messed with it), and then put it back on the SD card. Ninja Morph will recompile the framework-res and replace the one in your system folder.

i see theme chooser, not manager. theme chooser doesn't let you do anything other than pick an overall blue, green, or default theme, sadly

Thanks, and I appreciate the reply. But not what I asked. I really want to learn how to edit the framework file so I can do it myself.

You can try to figure out how to edit the framework file, but you might be better off figuring out how to create themes for CM7.

That link is a good overview of the theme engine. The fourth link on that page has a good how-to on creating themes. While it might be simpler to modify your framework file to change your notification bar now, that framework file changes with new releases of CM7. The theme engine is made so that it works across all versions.

This is a great read, but seems extremely complicated. Thanks!

Im curious about this too. Is there a such thing as theme manager or was that just a mistake?
I really liked the ability to alter the colors in the previous build...

I am running CM7 the latest stable release, April 11th or so. I want to have a white notification/status bar with the time, clock, battery, alarm, gps, and 3g text in black. Also I want the drop down notification menu to also be white. Basically, black/dark gray and white/light gray completely inverted of what it looks like now. There are a couple ADW themes, such as "ADW.theme.one", whose screenshots show this type of color scheme, but for some reason do not have this effect on my phone.
Yes, I know there is a kitchen for doing this, but it doesnt change the color of the text. I know that this is possible by editing framework-res.apk. I just need a little help finding this file, knowing what values to change, and then how to apply/flash it back to the phone to make the changes. Please help?

I just remember having it with CM 6.0 and I loved it, and then it was gone! lol
I downloaded the JamT theme, and that makes it look alright, I just recently switched to a honeycomb theme, but now I'm back to regular cyanbread
