2.1 black notification bar - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

With 1.6, I was using a framework.res that had a dark notification bar and simple, clear icons. I think it may have been taken from HTC's phones.
Has anyone made this again for 2.1? I really don't care for the default x10 icons.

See the attachment for the one I'm currently using, and my sig for icons...

How did you figure out the pixel size for it since it's some odd dimensions in the framework?

Someone posted one in another thread which was different to the original but said it worked, and it did, so took to searching custom rom threads, pulled a few framework-res files, and came across it. As it now uses a 9.png I think you're allowed a little variation in the dimensions.

Cool good to know out confused me a bit when I saw the small bar so I assume this is the same with the pull down bar then?

I was thrown too by it, but yes it's the same principle which can be used with other 9.pngs such as drop down menus and the like, but I've not strayed too far with others as I've done it on a trial and error basis but not had any errors so far, so if you swap a 9 and your phone doesn't boot or you need to reflash don't blame me.

Different Picture for each screen

Has any one figured out away for each of the 7 Sense screens to have a different background image? Is there "An App For That"?
You'll notice that when you scroll your background adjusts slightly - sadly you cant just chain a bunch of pictures together, it crops it down.

I'm interested in this, i use the espresso rosie and the bar that tells you what screen you're on is missing.
perhaps it would be easier to get it going on the android home (only three screens) then try to get it working on rosie.
i would love to have each screen like a different color black/white/gray whatever. then you would always know exactly what screen you were on

do you happen to have a link to any of the 3g icons though and thanks!
Yup...your phone is told to display either 3G or evdo or 1x....find which one your ROM is told to display and locate those pngs in the com.htc.resources.apk and change them in photoshop or whatnot to the 3G icons (which will also be in the resources.apk)
...they will ALL be easy to locate, just look for pngs that are titled signalcdma6bars or 3G or evdo or 1x....
It's a bit of fishing, but one inside, you'll start picking up what is what and changing what need to be what.
Hope this helps

It's a little disappointing. I wonder how small a rom someone could build if they removed all the stuff that never gets used. It's like they built an os and rather than building new ones they just update it from device to device. It would be cool to see one that had nothing extra in it.

unless I'm mistaken I don't think it would be possible for any of us to do it. I think all the files in a given apk are logged when it's compiled and although I've never tried it I suspect that if you removed even one png (or even just renamed or resized one) it would disable the apk. But don't quote me

Again, don't quote me, I think a transparent png would be the same, or at least not much different in size. The file has to indicate something for each pixel whether it's a color or transparent.
*edit- I'll check some of my transparent png's against the stock ones and see if there's a difference

I'm not sure about the system ones, but I did change some of the png's in the weather widget and forgot to resize the images to the correct size and it still worked.
I am actually going to give this a try with the framework-res apk and let you know. I will delete the some of the png's not used, but keep the folder and then flash and will let you know.

Looking for battery percentage mod

I have looked all over and found this mod for the nexus but thats it. Anyone know of this mod for the hero that they could link me to. I want the battery indicator with percentage, not an app, but to replace the stock battery indicator.

It was originally posted in the development forum where it didn't belong. It has correctly been moved to the theme forum now.
I would love to have this mod work with Sense. I have seen the mod the OP is referring to on the N1, and it is pretty brilliant.
I've already talked to Darch about the possibility of getting this on a ROM such as DamageControl. His response was that is wasn't possible without having the code for the .29 kernel. I'm guessing since his is AOSP, he can put it in his ROM more easily. Just a guess though, I know little about programming, code, etc.

How do we know your who you say you are!
I use BatteryLife widget by Curve Fish and love it, it keeps the percentage accurate all the time. I think in the 2.2 build under the cyogenmod settings there is an option to add the battery percentage to the icon on top, but thats probably not helpful if you dont want to stray from sense.
I wanted this as well and noticed darch had the battery percentage indicator within his spareparts settings so I tried to pull his spareparts.apk and push it over to fresh 2.3.3 Rom but that didn't work cuz nothing showed up in my app drawer or within the settings menu. I really want this mod as well but for now I'm using the battery widget by geekyouup which only takes up 1x1 on your screen and it can toggle/open your WiFi/how/bluetooth/display

Update Sleek Andro/Simple Droid

Update to Simple Droid
All info about single percent battery and stuff is that theme works for rubix and gummyjar, single percent only works on gummyjar and it only works sometime, trying to find out why.
Changes-
Updated theme to have more things themed
Single Battery Percent is now more likely to happen but still only happens some times
Next-
Almost have launcher and basic apps completely themed will be out soon.
This is here because Droid X forums banned me for asking if someone would test this theme but it is all tested out and works.
huh?
I think a little more information is necessary.

No offence, but I find it very hard to believe they banned you for asking for testers.
For most people, their Droid X is their lifeline; so most people are going to want a bit more information on any app/rom/theme we install to help weigh their options.
With that said, It does look good.
They actually did, i know it sounds hard to believe and that why i want to know why but they said something about you must test first.
It is in status bar, I can only get it to work sometimes, i still am trying different things to get it to work out.
The things i was talking about was that this was my first theme so my other post turned into me asking how to get themed apps to install with theme.
What changes did you make for single digit battery percentage? I see that you added all of the images for it in drawable-hdpi and it looks like their are corresponding entries in MANIFEST.INF. Did you use a program to generate the entries or did you manually enter them. The reason I ask is because each one has letters/numbers for SHAI-Digest. I don't fully understand what those do or how they're generated. Did you make any other changes in framework-res?
I have not flashed this because It hasn't been tested on Tranquility and I really don't want to sbf if my phone bricks. If we can isolate the changes you made for single digit battery percentages and get it working consistently, this could be a great breakthrough for DX owners.

Is there a how to on changing your Sense lock to AOSP?

Title pretty much says it all. I've been hopping from mod to mod, theme to theme, framework to framework to get exactly what I want in my phone aesthetically. I'm using this frame right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12131447&postcount=37210
The guy who ported was kind enough to point me to this AOSP lock that worked, but didn't quite match what I wanted to accomplish. I'm really looking for this lock, and if not then just a straight up AOSP lock.
As I said, I've tried just about every combo possible but everything takes something away that I want to keep. I tried the how to theme thread, and it was a great resource but only offered advice on how to change the png on HTC's lock; something I'm not particularly interested in.
Is there a howto on how to get this accomplished myself? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

He wasn't trying to be a ****. It's a very flexible and effective way to change your lock to just about anything including a ton of custom locks. Well worth $1.99 to people who want a high degree of customization and control over their lockscreen.
Why not purchase widgetlock? You can switch between aosp lc and lense lc. Just my opinion

First off, I love your work on this. The whole theme is great, and the only reason I keep trying to Frankenstein this one in particular is because I love the black on-screen notifications over that HTC grey. Unfortunately when I replaced frameworks I bootlooped :-/
