[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] (works) (Cyan Stable) Black with Modified Desire Icons

I made a theme with a plain black bar and the icon's from the Desire Rom, modified to play nice with the black. I dont know how to make update.zips, and im too lazy to learn right now.

What you need:
-root
-basic knowledge on using adb.
How to install (for now):
- nandroid!
-rename framework-res.zip to .apk and push to /system/framework
-rename services.zip to .jar and push to /system/framework
-reboot (device may reboot by itself, this is okay, as long as it turns on)

I like this. I'll give it a try once i can get my 5.0.4 stabalized. Thanks.

is this working with 360 degree rotation?

Hmmm...I'm getting "remote object 'framework-res.apk' does not exist" when I try adb pull.
I can see framework-res in my system/framework directory, but I keep getting the same message. I've tried:
adb pull framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb pull framework-res /system/framework
I've also tried remounting. Maybe I"m doing it wrong. I'm new to android...can someone help?
nm...figured it out...
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk

It works fine, except my font color is still black. So it's black on black and I can't see anything. How can I change the font to white?

wow, forgot about that, il have an update sometime tomorrow..

yeah you have to tell it what its local name is

Please update this with the white font! This is now my favorite black-bar theme. The icons are so clean, the black is so clean, and even the notifications are nice and clean and I love the black semi-transparent notification background.
The only things which I would suggest adding are:
1) a thin white/grey line under the notification bar when it's pulled down (maybe, gotta see it first)
2) the little dot-graphics that are found on default bottom pulldown bar. Have the same dots, except inverse colors I guess.
I've attached a pic of the areas i'm talking about.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the stealth update. I love the new bottom bar. Also putting the two little "accents" on the left and right sides of the bar would be a great enhancement too (see original screenshot). I think I like the previous background more, but I haven't tried this one yet. But the beauty of a theme like this is that I can swap and replace the images as I like. However I still can't use them anyways because I can't get white font (see below).
I think you meant services.jar should be pushed to /system/framework because there's not /services folder at the root of the phone.
The services.jar push clashes with CM 5.0.4. Upon reboot, the notification bar doesn't load up. Once I swipe to unlock, I get error after error for "Use action for default" message, and a jumbled message to touch. I touch and touch but the error keeps popping up. I can't recall exactly what the message said, but can replicate it if you need it.
Pressing the power button causes the phone to jump back to the splash screen (not a real reboot), and then it will reload the same way. I restored by flashing my rom again.
I still love this them though, and can't wait for an update I can use with CM. Thanks for your work on this, di.

could i get that wallpaper?

here is a functional service.jar (for white text)
rename from zip to jar and push to /system/framework

Hey Bud. If this is a direct copy of the Desire notification bar and notification icons, then I salute you.

Thanks for this Ac!d. We're almost there...the fonts on the notification bar itself are now white. The actual notifications when the bar is pulled down need to be white too. Also, the notifications when they come in are still black as well (like when I get a SMS and the first line of text appears on the bar). It might be the same setting as the pulldown font, but I'm not sure.
And plus the service font (ATT, Tmobile, etc) should either be white or maybe a really light grey, since the default was dark grey on top of white.
Thanks for your help!

What you need:
-root
-basic knowledge on using adb.
How to install (for now):
- nandroid!
- Pull "framework-res.apk". its usually in /system/framework, though, again, that depends on the Rom you're using.
- rename to "framework-res.zip"
- open the zip, open the folder "res", and open "drawable-hdpi". update the folder with the files in the "drawable-hdpi" which is in the download.
- rename back to "framework-res.apk"
- while the device is on, push "framework-res.apk" to wherever you pulled it from. after a few seconds, the device should reboot (it shouldn't take long).
-pushing the services.jar to /services/framework should change the text to white, but i have only been tested it with enomthers rom. nandroid, turn on your phone, push, and reboot. first boot could take a while. testers needed.
btw, the icons look much better on the N1's small screen.
Because you're replacing the files in the framework-res.apk that comes from your device, this should work with any rom.
However, nandroid before you try this anyway.

nah, the point of my theme is for the bar to be black and at the same time keep the desire icons. If it wasn't i wouldn't spend hours putting a black backround behind every icon..

Fair enough on the section... even though it's compiled rather than a theme... I could have put it elsewhere. The mods are pretty friendly round here though, so no harm no foul.
Didn't mean to step on your territory either... I couldn't find a morph for 5.0.7 that didn't break services.jar. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. I take no creative credit, nor do I intend to maintain, I just thought it filled a gap. Perhaps I was wrong. If this is the case the mods can delete.

can this be flashed via recovery?
or do i have to push the 2 files to the appropriate places via ADB?
thanks in advance
EDIT: had to push the 2 files using ADB; works great, using it on nightly from yesterday

Nice, been looking for just the bar.
Ok, stupid question time, I have adb set up on my laptop, but the power cord is fried, need to wait for the replacement to come in. Could I just use root explorer to copy the files over? I'm guessing I'd need to mount r/w first though.

You can use root explorer after mounting /system as rw yes (do this with root explorer). Copy the files as in post #1 and reboot.

Bug
This causes the market to FC every time it tries to install anything.
I've wiped and reflashed cyan 507 t2 and all is ok. as soon as i push servicer.jar and the framework-res.apk it causes market to FC when it tries to install...

Using Root Explorer kept putting me in a boot loop, the phone reboots as soon as I try to replace the framework-res file. I threw adb on my store's pc, got it working just fine that way, thanks for this.
@adam, go to settings -> applications -> Manage applications and go to Market. Uninstall updates, and everything should work fine.

Yes, colours, depth, size and transparency. In fact they're better optimised than the stock images. This was just a stop-gap until somebody releases a 5.0.7 morph or theme though.

ok thats what I thought, I did find a few of the icons, I think 4 outta the 6 but I amd still not sure how to make the background black instead of white and change the text to white from black, thanks for the reply!

Changing the background is most likely gonna be a 9.png image and changing the color of the txt is probably gonna be buried away in XML file.

black menu for AOSP roms
I'm stlill looking for a way to get my menus black on cm 6.1 stable. I don't want a full theme b/c I want to use my own transition animations and other custom feats. I like the stock black theme that comes with cm 6.1 but want black menus! Can anyone point me in the right direction???

I have a metamorph theme that will give you want you want. However you will need to then pull the framework-res.apk because I have noticed the metamorph may cause issues with force closes. But once you have the framework-res.apk jut make it into an update.zip and when they flash it they shouldn't have any problems.

black menu cm 6.1
Really? That's awesome! Where can I find your metamorph theme? I just tried to pull the menu back ground out of cm7 framework-res and placed them in the cm6.1 framework-res.apk and zipped and installed, it kinda worked just no text in the menus!

Values is a folder that will show up once you decompile the apk. It is actually present in almost all apk's res folder.

Theming the notification bar?

I'm sick of this black bar and blue clock clashing with my homescreen. Been tinkering with ninjamorph on the tf for a few days and I've been able to customize most of the ugly things away in honeycomb, but I haven't had much luck with the notification bar.
Does anyone know where the notification bar is in the framework.apk file? I'm looking for the back, home, and running apps icons as well.
Also I want the off-blue clock to be white, but after searching around the only methods I've found were using ninjamorph on phones. Any good methods for tablets?
Not really interested with launchers, tried alot of them and it just wasn't for me, doing it with ninjamorph to replace the framework files.
If this belongs in questions & answers my apologies, seemed like the theming subforum was more suitable.

Look in SystemUI.apk for those icons

thanks man! Found alot of the ones I was looking for but didn't mention as well, like the blue glow. I noticed there were XML files with system bar in the title, does that mean I'm sol?
I haven't gotten around to replacing my wifi/battery icons yet, but I also noticed there are 2 sets - one in framework, and one in systemui, does it matter which one I change? Or do they change different things? They look exactly the same.

depending on which rom your running you can use the UOT kicthen to theme the battery ad wifi icons on the notification bar. it works on the rev HD rom i think, i run the revolver rom and havent tried it yet but i dont see why it shouldnt as long as you extract the framework res etc properly.

you need to extract both the framework res apk and system ui pk to the kitchen once you have chosen the mods you want

I've use the kitchen with Prime's ROM. Battery icons are good
The font work but you'll have to play around cause some
font don't look too good on the TF.

For some reason kitchen wouldn't let me choose my framework & systemui files, no problem though, I just used a preset on kitchen and moved them over manually.
I just did the systemui apk with a reboot, changed the wifi and a few others but didn't change my battery icon for some odd reason. Updating the framework apk as I type this, hopefully it fixes it.
EDIT: no luck, just messed up my notification menu -.-'

ugh, my notification menu keeps overlapping the notification bar, need to find a system dump for 3.2 to start over because my systemui backup was overwritten.

This keeps happening when I swap the images out with greyscaled versions in ninjamorph.

looks like 2 framework res's running at the same time, although i could be wrong.
to upload the framwork res and system etc to the UOT kitchen, you first need to extract them from your current ROM, extract them from the rom zip to desktop. then you can upload them to the kitchen. the kitchen needs your current ROM res etc to implement the mods in the right way for your device.
then flash the zip that the kicthen cooks with CWM and you should be good to go.

well I'm not sure that frameworkres is to blame because when I replace the systemui apk back to the default systemui apk it goes back to working normally despite any possible framework issues.
I tried changing it image by image last night and came to the conclusion that when I change notify_panel_clock_bg_pressed.9.PNG, notify_panel_notify_bg.9.PNG, and panel_notification.PNG in the systemui/Res/drawable-mdpi directory it causes them to do this.
I also should add that in some circumstances ninjamorph shrinked the size of my systemui apk file from 1mb to about 800kb. Perhaps a compiling error?
Uot kitchen does not offer any custom notification ui's for honeycomb that I saw, but everything else of theirs that I changed manually to the systemui file worked without errors. It didn't change my battery icons in the frameworkres apk however. I had to change it manually because when I go to upload files, it brings me to this screen without even prompting me to select a file manager.
I'll attempt it on a desktop later on today.

Yeah I've never tried it on the tablet itself, always from the PC.

I tried to find the pngs to change, but I only found the outline of the battery. Does anyone know which file I have to change exactly?

battery icons png are located in the folder
res/drawable-mdpi
&
res/drawable-xlarge-mdpi
easiest way is to use the UOT kitchen

I put together some directorys for the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk i hope they come in handy
and the overscroll glow png's are in framework-res at res/drawable-mdpi overscroll_glow.png and overscroll_edge.png
