remove notification bar icons?

Hey yall,
This may very well be a noob question, so i apologize in advance if so.
I am interested in removing a few icons from the right side of the notification bar, as seen on the home screen (as opposed to having the notification bar pulled down).
I read on the G1 forum that trying to replace these with an inconsistent set of icons (say, 100 different PNG's for each percent) yielded no success. But I just want to remove both the battery icons as well as the alarm icon.
the main reason for this removal is one, i downloaded an app from the market that has the % in an icon on the left side of the notification bar (search for 'battery indicator'; should be free) and i always have my alarm on, and check it in the application.
so my question is, is it possible to do this? If so, which files do i need to remove?

seriously? not even one reply? wow xda, im pretty saddened by this...

Bump
It would be nice to unclutter the status bar

Mostly no one has probably replied because you cant get rid of them. You could get replace the current PNGs with completely transparent ones. But then you'd just have a big blank spot between the signal status and the time.

thats what i thought i would hear. thanks for your reply

Couldn't you make the png 1 pixel by 1 pixel and transparent. THen you really couldn't tell it was missing.

I have a apk ready I can test this with real quick.
I'll report back

well, using a 1x1 transparent image did the trick with getting them to vanish, didn't break anything.
However, the 1x1 didn't seem to matter either, there is a gap, but it still looks good.

I just took the current image and made it 100% transparent.
could also replace the file with a 1x1 transparent image.
either way yields the same results.
if you still want the file, pm me and I'll link it.

+1 for the ability to get rid of some icons, the clock and battery indicator in particular.

I have trouble getting the Curvefish battery widget to update properly. Running Fresh 1.1 with MDK 1.2

[Morph] Batnip Status Icons v1.0 (for use with CM5 battery display) New Host!

Batnip Status Icons v1.0 (for use with CM5 battery percent status display (Cyanogen MOD 5.0.5)
I made these icons because I didn't like the way that the default CM5.0.5 battery icons worked with the new battery percent status display. I felt that the animation needed to be a little more subtle, due to the fact that we now can just read the numbers given to us instead of determining the remaining battery life by examining a sizable indicator.
Pretty colors do come standard, a few short of a rainbow. These icons are the same height as most of the others, making for a more even view of the notification bar.
I felt like sharing and will use these until someone with real experience comes up with something better. Feedback welcome.
Of course I take no responsibility for any damages done to your device. These icons were developed specifically for Cyanogen MOD 5.0.5, be sure to Nandroid your **** up real tight first.
Thanks to cyanogen as always and canadiancow for making this possible. (writing the code for the battery status display!)

When I posted that, I was only using the black bar mod and since that overwrote cyanogen's, it lost the percentage number so I wanted a black bar based off cm5.0.5 but I'm using NexTheme now anyway so you can ignore me

Sorry I still don't fully understand, hopefully you're happy now. If I can do anything please provide me with a few instructions so that my morph can benefit you in the same way it seems to be benefiting others.

It's fine now, thanks.

His problem was that he was using a 5.0.4 theme that erased the battery % numbers, once he updated it worked fine.
Just wanted to say this is an amazing morph and I absolutely love it.

Mat, would you mind placing this and/or any other morph into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654858.
Thanks just wanna get all Morphs into one thread

Yup. Gimme a bit. I am gonna release a new version as well for CM6 that makes the signal and battery icons not be so close together.

Those are looking good man. Real good.

Is it possible that you could make a black & white version (mainly the battery icon)? This is sick, but the colors won't fit my theme.
Keep up the good work though, looks solid.

Yeah I thought about making a black and white version. Should go well with the option to be able to change the color of the % of battery left in CM6. Gimme a day or so, I'll knock it out

updated with a black and white for CM6

Where did you get that wallpaper?

Sweet man. Just to be sure ... this will only update the icons? Or the entire taskbar? I'm using BlackMod and I don't want to lose the cool Android shade that pops down.

[HOW-TO] Translucent notification tray background in Froyo

See post #53 for guide. Credit to ghostrida! Awesome work!
This has only been verified to work on DEODEXED ROMs.
NOTICE: THE services.jar MOD ONLY ALLOWS FOR THE BACKGROUND PNG TO SHOW TRANSLUCENCY.
YOU MUST EDIT YOUR OWN status_bar_backgound.png AND MAKE IT TRANSLUCENT AS WELL AS MAKE THE NECESSARY services.jar MOD
This is my 65% black...(PNG is attached)

That's great, but many of us would like to know how to do it so we can accomplish it on other Froyo based ROMs.

Here are the files needed for transparent notification drop down not flashable through recovery

So it a different services.jar file
Question: If I am using the custom services.jar that removes the clock will this overwrite it?

im afraid it will

Hey sorry for the late reply, but yea, it's the service.jar file.

Thanks guys... working on it now

I dont know why but it leaves squares in the pull down but thats what i found just surfing around in this site.

Ok, so we have 2 services.jar files .... 1 for no clock and 1 for transparent pulldown.
Who do we know here that can merge the two?

Not exactly. Your background image in the tray pull down is full of lines while the background wallpaper is clear.

That's closer, but still not quite it, those lines would drive me nuts. NO offense. But I like the progress being made.
Here is an example of a translucent tray, this is what I mean: (it's a 2.1 MOD of course)

Also, as stated in the OP, I'm not asking for someone to make this MOD for me necessarily. But rather some information of HOW and WHAT to change to make that notification tray background translucent.

The translucent tray is cool if we can figure out how to do it, but what about the notification bar too? That would make a killer combination!

Well if we can figure out how to set translucence, the notification bar will be easy.

the squares are being caused by the actual png. it has white lies around it. i will post a fixed png for ya in a sec.

And would it be possible through typefresh?

I'm pretty sure the only way would be by modifying the framework xml files, which would probably make it theme dependent as you would more than likely need to edit some that get compiled into resources.arsc, meaning you need any additions from the theme in your working folder when you compile.
Where's the screenshot from? Looks nice and if you had the framework for it I'd gladly sort out something for the X10.
There may be an app out there that can do this, but I have my doubts.

Are you interested in the theme from your screenshot, or do you just want a run-down on which xml files to modify? (or do you have a theme you're using now that you just want a bold clock for)

im quite happy with my current theme, a run down of what to edit would be great
however, ive noticed that the clock seems to be bold on stock android, as you can see on the x10 aosp screens, so is it something se have changed?

Anyone find this out? I'd like to change the font of my clock in my notification bar..
I'm pretty savvy with the Android OS, have done my own metamorph's and mod's for awhile.. I just can't seem to find where the clock is stored.
