[Mod] Desire notification bar - CM 5.0.6/Enom 1.8.1/MCRr13 - New Morph [04-15]

Credit
Stericson, Cyanogen, JesusFreke, Enomther, Oshaka, Modaco, JAC (Just Another Crowd or @justanotherdev), HTC, manup456, and any inspirations either explicitly or implicitly used.
What is this composed of?
The status bar images and icons from the Desire ROM released by MoDaCo.
A modified framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml to make the notification text and other text that appears in the status bar white instead of black.
A modified services.jar to make the date and time text appear white instead of black.
Screen Shot
-just a cropped image from Paul's OP from his Desire ROM, the first screen shot to be exact-

Morphs
-Apply with MetaMorph-
Flatter Pull Down Menu
This will give you a flatter pull down menu. It replaces where the service provider is shown with a re-sampling of the statusbar_background.9.png; it also replaces the status_bar_background.png image with one from JACHero 2.63; finally, it replaces status_bar_close_on.9.png with a less glossy (darker and flatter) version of the current one. While I personally think this looks a lot better than the stock images, I am including it as a morph so to keep the actual mod itself completely from the Desire ROM. Also, with it being a simple morph, it should work with any ROM with framework-res.apk in /system/framework/.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/flat_desire.zip
Alternate status_bar_background.png
Changes the white notification background image to the one in the flat_desire morph, but keeps the glossy look of stock Desire.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/alt_background.zip
NexTHEME status_bar_background.png
Changes the white notification background image to the one in NexTHEME. Thank you manup456 for the image.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/nextheme_background.zip
Transparent status_bar_background.png
Makes the notification pull down menu background transparent.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/transparent_pull_down_background.zip
H icons to 3G icons
This will make the H icons into the 3G icons from the Desire ROM.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/Desire_H_to_3G.zip
Transparent battery images
This will give you transparent battery images for when the phone is not charging if you do not want to have a battery image and percent when using the battery percent mod.

Nandroid and you won't be have to reflash your rom or potentially have to wipe your phone if something goes wrong.

Will this work on rooted stock Rom.

No, it wouldn't work because the classes.dex for the sevices.jar will only work with CM 5.0.4.1.

can you post a screenshot?

A.) I'm not running it on my phone
B.) It looks exactly like the status bar in any screen shot of the desire rom.

52 downloads and no one has said it hasn't worked. People are a lot more prone to reply to something not working then to something working.
"screen shot' in the OP soon. Taken from here from the first screen shot shown and everything minus the status bar edited out. Not that hard to visualize.

I´m sure yu are right...
it´s just, this forum, one doesn´t dare to ask to many questions..

The thing is tho, even if it don't work, it's a 45 second fix to be back up and running if you followed directions.

45 second fix jesus-for you!!!
but for me,as a noob....
1.) I tried this:
Flash this in recovery.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecod...succesion2.zip
-> my device doesnt want to flash it.
2.) then tried this from the other post:
How to install:
1) Nandroid
2) Rename download from services02.zip to services.jar
3) Connect phone to computer.
4) adb push services.jar /system/framework
-> it says:
************
so if you are used to all those command, I envy you...but i fail and cannot find a manual for that (although there are millieons of threads..)

I put up a guide on how to use metamorph in the first post (for the first download). I re-signed the file and reuploaded to the same link (the second download) so try downloading it again and flashing it in recovery, and if you cannot flash it, then tell me the exact error it is giving you.
Also, you got that error because you didn't put a space between services.jar and /system/framework/. If you want to push the file, then take the services.jar out of the .zip in the first post and do the following.
Code:
adb remount
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell reboot

Your ADB either isn't set up correctly, or you may try
Code:
adb remount
My working directory is:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
That was the default one setup by the SDK

once it informs you "remount succeeded" then try to push the file again.

why are you trying to push anything for a morph?

got tired of the problems. made into one flashable file in recovery in the OP.

Flashing it from recovery took care of the issue.
Thanks

..the pushing itself is obsolete, it was for the trackball v2 notification..but I succeded with v3., so thanx anyway!

works great! thanks! =)

ATTN THEMERS.. Pushing Framework-res.apk = Success!

Now that we have Root and the amazing recovery tool... I decided it was time to test things out. No we dont have MetaMorph, but until then... The "old fashioned" way will work. I pulled the framework, made a quick modification to the BATTERY icons and pushed it back... and BAM!! Blue battery!
So far i see no adverse effects... so i will be pushing my fully themed Framework-res.apk to my INC later this evening. Proof? See pic...with BLUE battery! Thats just the start of my theme!

do the files require unsigning and signing like in winmo? sorry, i was well versed with winmo themeing but am new to android. i'd love to start customizing though.
any links on where to learn what files contain what, how to extract em, etc.? thanks

All the images are located within framework-res.apk, But there are several other places that you can edit xmls to make further changes. you can extract them directly from there, and replace them using 7zip without need to sign the apk. The most common are found in /res/drawable hdpi/
Before experimenting i would suggest reading up on Patch 9 files. Those require more than just editing the png.

To my knowledge that requires editing the Services.jar file. There are scripts out there for editing this file, but the short answer for now is NO. (unless you're a java guru)

command is *adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework* right?

1. Always do a nandroid backup first...
2. push framework-res.apk file to root of sdcard
3. boot phone into recovery
4. mount /system and /sdcard from recovery
5. open adb shell and type:
busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
6. reboot
Enjoy!

I concur with ALWAYS do a back up...
no need to push file to SDCard though, or use busybox cp
Just push it directly from its location.
Reboot to recovery...
Mount /system (under partitions menu)
open cmd prompt and type:
adb push (file location) /system/framework/framework-res.apk
example :
adb push c:\android\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

They can be edited to change to any color you want!!
FYI i will be sharing my modded framework-res.apk shortly, working out a few things. My version will change ALL status icons, battery meter, signal bars, and a whole lot more (basically everything GREEN)to the Blue you see in the battery in the pic.

Having a lil trouble....
Ok so i managed to edit almost everything in framework, (still working on the.9.pngs, they take sooo much time)..... But im having an issue...
Hopefully some one here can help me solve this. Unlike the moto, i cant seem to get the signal meter, or the 3g/1x/etc icon to change. all other icons are acting as they should but these stay the same. Ive re-copied them, and pushed the apk 3 times...
Anyone with ideas...

They may be inside the com.htc.resources.apk also. Use Root Explorer to check.

Again, thats part of the Services.jar ... and i know little to nothin of java.
Soon enough the smart guys will have a script to edit it!

awesome ass mod! what are the dimensions for this?

Nice work! I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.

here is my version!

I tried this and got a boot loop. It would load all the way to the boot sequence then FC the framework. How can i modify without breaking the signature. I am on a mac, because i know everyone uses winrar on pc.

Some had posted a file and asked for the avenge sevenfold death bat to be put on.
I had done it but the posts were lost when the site was recovered a few days ago.
I cant remember who it was, but here it is.

Sorry I am not familiar with the process for MAC's.

I tried this with ninja morph and still didnt work. Can someone elaborate on the process maybe. I must be missing something somewhere.

How do I get rid of the "sprint" in the upper left of the notification bar?
Also, do I need to delete the original png?

Instructions on editing the sprint banner can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708419
To do this mod you wouldnt delete the original png...you need to replace it with the modded png file. I would make and save backup of the original on your local hard drive that way if you ever wanted to go back to stock or create a new banner with a different image you would have a copy of the non modified stock png to work with.

Thanks, I got the header and closer .png changed. Now to get rid of the pesky Sprint lettering.

when i do this procedure i get all kinds of force close errors. to the point of i have to do a nand restore. i edited a "status_bar_header_background.9.png" file from another theme.

Yeah, true enough. It's a whole different kettel of fish now - we just need to edit the xml's (decompiling/recompiling with apktool) and drag them into the framework now.
I just had a bit of a play... I managed to change the color of the provider text by editing res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml. Changing status_bar_icon.xml didn't seem to have any effect but I did add some alpha. I will have another look tomorrow and post what I find out in my themes reference thread.

Woow thats awesome is there any way so that you can use the stock stuuffs
Lol im sooo into stock xD
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I'm just working on a little program to remove the background on all the stock icons - then I can just darken them up a bit and it should look pretty decent...

Has anyone here modded framework-res.apk located in system/framework?
I'm doing what is wrote in this guide, but phone dosen't boot then. I had to flash it with SEUS.
Here is what i do. Am i missing or wronging something?
Code:
Step 1:
Connect phone to pc, enable usb debugging and open adb. Type:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
That will pull your framework-res.apk to whatever folder is displaying in your command line.
Step 2:
Find the framework-res.apk on your hard drive, right click and open with 7zip.
Step 3:
Use png's here or create your own and dump into the appropriate folder within framework-res.apk.
Step 4:
When you are done editing the files open up adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
That will put the new framework-res.apk on your phone. It should automatically reboot (if not reboot it) and your changes should be applied!
When running the script above you can replace framework-res.apk with whatever you want. For example, Timescape.apk
Remember, it is CASE sensitive I made this problem many times)

There's a few things you could be doing wrong, the one that springs to mind is if your doing some xml mods and not adding resources.arsc to the framework in the proper manner.

Thanks.
I resolved all my problems.
It depended on unsecure shell.
All worked fine.
Thanks again

Thanks to this little beauty I got all of the icons done in one shot .
I have attached the framework with the only modification being the white status bar and dark icons (and the fact that you can see the clock, of course ).
Don't forget to unzip the framework, don't just rename it

woot woot, pretty awesome, nice work indeed....now we actually need a completely white theme.....

Chewitts on the case I just did this cause I could

[GUIDE] Changing status bar icons and more (framework-res.apk)

So friends, here is a quick and easy guide for changing the status bar icons of your Gingerbread(Actually any phone )
For those who don't know how to do it(for anyone actually :highfive
Theory
Android is the awesome platform which is easily configurable and is able of being edited very easily
The icons used in every app and Android framework are located as png images in apk of those respective apps in location:-
*.apk/res/drawable-mdpi (in my case, as our phone is mdpi)
So, we can change any icon of our status bar like battery, signal, (not clock[clock is to be configures in SystemUI.apk{will post how to change it shortly}]), etc by editing png's in framework-res.apk
Not even that, you can edit images of any app as I told you
There are several ways to decompile and compile apk in which we have made change
If we want full access of apk and want to change every thing like the xml's in it and smali content in jar files, then we would have to do it on computer by apktool or apkmanager
But, we are here to only change image, so we would not go in detail of apktool or apkmanager. For changing images, that can be very easily done even on the phone by an app NinjaMorph that is made for developers by our senior head and DEVELOPING LEGEND Stephen(Stericson)
But be careful as backing up the original file if you do something wrong
And as you all know any developer or even a newbie posting something interesting that you want to try WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for your mobile blowing up, resting in peace, sleeping like a dead, behaving like a non-living BRICK, or anything whatsoever that may or may not happen to phone in this universe or any other universe known or unknown
What to do if anything happened to my mobile
We have had a backup of your original file so we can restore it
But if while editing the system files like framework-res.apk
If you deleted some un-backed up apk's
Well you can always have backup of your ROM and that is why Koushik Datta has made clockworkmod Recovery
You can restore your ROM from there
Pre-Requisites
Patience
Mind
A Android (A spare one if you brick your phone, just kidding)
Root access(to change the apk)
NinjaMorph(http://bit.ly/ninjamorph)
Root Explorer(Optional)(http://bit.ly/stericson)
GUIDE
So Let's Start
Download NinjaMorph. Install it and give it root access. It will prompt for starting checks. Click on start checks.
Now you would have three options, namely, New Project, Finish Project, Existing Project
Click on new project. Go to system/framework/ and click on framework-res.apk. It will start extracting files
Once it has extracted all the files, it will open to show you what is inside framework-res.apk.
Exit it and go to your file explorer.
Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk
This is what is inside apk. Go to res/drawable-mdpi folder
There you will see hundreds of icons of your menu, lockscreen, battery, signal, and everything
You can edit them and replace them as you want. But the name of the file you are replacing and size and dimension must be equal to the file you are replacing with(I recommend Googling and finding icons of battery, signal, and other things)[I have even used hdpi icons, there was no problem]
If you download a theme file which is to be flashed in recovery that is not for your phone, no problem, extract the zip and place its framework-res.apk in your sdcard and extract the apk with Ninjamorph. Replace your icons with its icons and TADA
After you have done replacing the icons and you are satisfied(I am never)
Go to NinjaMorph. Click on Fininsh Projects. Click on framework-resapk. It will recompile and ask to replace the original apk with modded one. Click OK
Then it will ask if you want to remove the completed project, Say No(As you would need it if something gets wrong)
Reboot your phone
Maximum chances are that your icons will be replaced. Rare cases have their status bar gone or no change, if so:-
Download(Buy) Root Explorer. Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace,
There you will see framework-res.apk. Copy it and go to /system/framework
Mount as R/W
Paste the apk. If it asks that file already exists, overwrite it.
SET PERMISSIONS
Long click on framework-res.apk and click on permissions
You will see three columns
Read Write Execute
You have to set them in the following way
x means you have to tick it
blank means uncheck
Read Write Execute
.....x........x.................
.....x...........................
.....x...........................
Click OK
You will see it as rw-r--r--
Reboot
Do it over again if nothing happens
Enjoy
This way you can edit not only framework-res.apk but any apk
