Used XebozZ desire notification bar here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706137 and created white battery icons
Currently tested on Kang-o-rama FRF91 SP3, Should work with Cyanogen 6.0.0 rc1
Credit goes to XebozZ..... and just a dab for me
****MetaMorph Only*****

Sorry I'm fairly new to Metamorph. I just flashed to Cyanogen 6.0, and downloaded Metamorph. What exactly is the next step, and for whatever reason, is it possible to bring back the STOCK notification bar if I don't like this one?
Hit the unzip/extract new theme button......find the theme......click the XML file... apply all.......done
Doing a Nandroid backup will take you back to stock incase you dont like it or something messes up....If you don't know what I'm talkin' about i suggest you read up on it before you do anything
I don't know if this will work for any other rom but the ones above
Would it be possible to get the battery morph as a standalone? This would look great with a matte black bar.
Can you make the green on the lock screen white as well?
All the "Desire bar" / BlackBar morphs and themes that I've looked at use the same icons for data connectivity, with text (G/E/3G/H) directly above the arrows. These icons have a "bug" - they look like they've been brought together from several places, and when you loop between them - you see the different arrows, fonts and location, which makes the experience very annoying when they flash on the screen.
I tried to use the stock icons on the Desire bar, but their background was visible on the bar, annoying to the eye.
So I took 15 min and removed that background (setting it transparent), leaving the arrows and text. The result is attached and can be used in themes/morphs/ROMs for black or dark notification bar.
I've modified the Desire notification bar morph by XebozZ to include those icons and stock battery icon, to be able to morph in 1 step. It works only for pre-themed ROMs (having pre-themed white notification bar text version) or latest Enomther, CM6 and others (allowing to change the notification bar text color). See 2nd post for morphs.
I've decided to share the morphed Black notification bar that I use for myself. Since I do it for myself, it'll naturally be made for the ROMs I use - which happen to be Enomther's.
Will work on Enomther's ROM starting 2.12.prealpha and up, CyanogenMod 6.0, or any other ROM that supports white text notifications.
Download and apply the attached morph, using stericson's Metamorph from the market.
Don't forget to change notification text colors in Spare Parts.
I didn't try other morph apps, you can do it, don't complain if it doesn't work, though.
My morph includes the following changes from the usual Desire Bar found everywhere else:
1) Modified stock data connectivity icons from the 1st post.
2) Stock battery indicator (the % are too large for DesireBar battery indicator, doesn't look good IMHO).
Thanks to Saphroxx for Desire Bar morph template, dumbestcrayon for the update.zip template of older versions, Enomther for ROM, stericson for Metamorph, and the rest of thanks to the people behind Andoid, both community and corporate.
For those that like Desire/Sense battery icons, Sapproxx made a version that includes them instead of stock battery icons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7983261&postcount=20
Will this work with Enom's stock ROM or should I flash the Prethemed White text file he has on his thread before I flash this?
Edit: Nevermind. I re-read a part of your 2nd post and I see you included his services.jar.
Thanks, man! I really appreciate this!
Updated for 2.11.3.
Services.jar is erroring out on install.

Perfect, man.
Thanks again for this. It's my favorite notification bar so far.
Have you thought about doing one of these in pure black? I know there's somebody out there who has a pure black one, but I didn't like his battery icons and everything. The icons and the way this is put together is exactly what I like, and maybe a pure black one without the glossy highlights would be cool too. Just sayin'...
Also, have you noticed that the battery percentage is slightly to the left in the battery icon? Is that something that is fixable or is it just the way Enom's ROM displays the battery percentage?
Thanks again for your work.
I can do the pure black, it's only a matter of changing a single PNG file - but personally I don't like the pure black, the area "melts" with black background and the bar isn't distinguishable.
The battery percentage is a bit tricky. The icon is shifted right - because of the "nose" of the battery, which has to protrude left, but the battery also has to remain within icon boundaries and be balanced between them. So to make the text in the middle of the battery, it has to be shifted right several pixels. The text appears exactly in the middle of the icon space - but since the battery is shifted right because of the "nose", the text seems a bit left.
i take it this doesn't work with leo's 2.0?
Using a morph - it works with ANY deodexed ROM.

That's cool. I just figured I would suggest it. Thanks for the bar you've already done, which is pretty much all I've used since I switched to Enom's ROM.
can we get a screenshot of the reuslt pls...
Posted in the 1st post.
Bumping for an update to 2.12 pre-alpha!
Since I've realized that Enomther's ROM has the text color set in Spare Parts now, I've updated the 2nd post to suggest using morph method for Enomther's 2.12.prealpha and up.

Works like a charm. Highly recommended.
The same instructions that MicroMod777 gives for his themes work for this one too.
"To properly set white text colors go to "Spare Parts", "Status Bar Options", "Status Bar Colors", "Set All Colors", use code "ffffffff". Then go back to "Notification Items", and set them ALL black to: "ff000000". Then Reboot."
The only other thing to get this looking exactly like the 2.11.3 zip version is to go into Status Bar Options -> Status Bar Colors -> Notifications in Pull-Down and make sure Clean Notifications Button is also set to ff000000. This is supposed to say "Clear Notifications Button" but he mistyped it.
thx for continuing my work and the reference. Note that my nickname contains an "h" though as in Saphroxx.
Only thing I noticed is that the stock battery icon is there now instead of the desire battery indicator.
Good job on fixing the differences in arrows mate

Fixed 10chars
For the people who prefer the Desire/Sense battery icons, like I do, I created this alternative Desirebar-Black-Pulldown-SenseBatteryIcons.
To be applied with Metamorph.

I't possible. However it's a lot of work. You have to redo all the icons with a paintprogram. Rynoons actually made a white statusbar for the X10, see here:
rynoons modified framework-res.apk: (post #43)

The white statusbar looked really awesome on my white X10. However a white statusbar has some problems though.
-The color of the clock can't be changed as far as I know. That's why Rynoons added a black box. However when a message appears in the statusbar (like when connecting the phone to the pc), the clock (letters) will disappear. However the blackbox stays (as it's part of the statusbar background).
-Some SE apps (like mail, Timescape, Mediascape etc) include icons with a blue background. These icons will remain when using the white statusbar and thus will just not look right.
That's why I removed the white statusbar after some days of use and reverted to a black statusbar. Still some icons appear to be on a blue background. However they don't stand out that much on black as they did on white.
U can adjust the font colors by modifying the odex files. I have wanted a white status bar and black letters since I got the phone too. I'm working on it but it requires a lot of work. Hopefully this weekend.

OH OH OH, I forgot to ask about changing the app drawer slider colour, domoco made abunch of different themes for their users like a different app drawer slider button thingy, I saw pirple and pink and other stuff

I've tried deodex the whole framework, and changed the color in services.jar. And then transfer the jar files to the x10 and odex all the files. but after restart the mobile phone froze on the bootscreen.
If I change the services.jar, I need to deodex the applications too? or just the framework?
As I understand it everything needs to be deodexed, then pushed back to the phone where it will be reodexed. Keep in mind the phone will take a while to startup bc its odexing everything.
I may be wrong and I still don't fully understand it. Lots of stuff to learn, not enough time.

Edit: if the phone gets stuck at boot is there a way to view what went wrong? Would ddms work for that? I would try before asking but I'm not at home. Thanks

Ok i love the bionix rom i just dont care for the white status and dropdown menu so i used UOT kitchen to cook a theme and i tried flashing the. Zip with framework-res. apk inside through cwm but nothing changed so i just pushed it manually and did the same with twframework and everything changed and looked nice except the icons at the top of the notification dropdown menu look like the stock froyo icons but everything else in the dropdown menu looks the way it should. I also cant find where to change the dropdown notification icons in UOT anyways? There not even an option? You figure it would be under status bar mods but i dont see anything? Anybody know a solution?

Heres some pics!! just remember there's still a couple of things that still need to be adjusted but i can handle that i just need to figure out the drop down notification icon problem. Also i forgot to mention the time is missing in the notification bar?? It showed it in green text in UOT why doesn't it show up?
Probably because you set your time color the same as your status bar color

You can't change the color of the time in UOT Kitchen only the date I would maybe make the status bar green and your icons black.
And you can cook the twframework-res.apk and make your own drop down menu. Only change the status bar in uot kitchen and you will have to unzip it and rename it back to twframework-res.apk copy it then replace it in system/framework.

Hey gang!
I was perusing the Themes and Apps Section for the Evo 4g and noticed a couple trends. A lot of the themes and mods are for the ports of late, which is awesome! But I know some of you are very happy with the Sense 1.0 with GB that we've received recently (OTA 4.22). While I prefer the Sense 2.1 with GB Roms myself, I want to provide mods and themes for all sorts of stuff. The other trend I noticed was that a few flashers wanted transparency. Everyone loves transparency, right? With Gingerbread, as many devs and themers have found out, theming is much more ingrained in dex code than previous issues of Android OS. No worries, there are some smart cookies floating around.
Well, I just wanted to upload this for the folks out there who would like to start theming or want to incorporate transparent Statusbar and Notification Area but are not quite familiar with smali/baksmali and xml editing. I have uploaded deodex and odex versions of the mod.
Here is exactly what I did in general terms.
used baksmali to decompile the SystemUI.odex
edited two lines in "com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali"
used smali to compile the smali folder back to classes.dex
made the statusbar 100% transparent (just for sample purposes, ie it can any level of transparency, not necessarily clear) but PhotoShopping "statusbar_background" in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
used apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk
made the notifications text white instead of black by editing values
made the notification area a transparent black instead of stock white
I think that is all that I did...
This little mod was by request and I can't guarantee that everything is 100%. I should also note that the ROM I used to was xHausx's stock odex rom as found HERE. Thanks xHAUSx! I figure this one would be as stock as it gets, and also the requester is using this ROM.
Let me know how it goes. I do not to take credit for actually coming up with the mod for transparency for Gingerbread. That smali hack should be credited to KBanause. What I did was make it work for the Evo and also inverted the text color a little bit. I also do not take credit for broken devices. Please Nandroid.
Sorry for the long post!
Deodex download
Odex Download
Thanks Tom, I will let you know how things go.

Well...it works, and it looks nice on my home screen, but the white icons and stuff make it impossible to read the notification bar in some apps like gmail. Still cool though
p.s. This was on Fresh 4.1.1.0 btw
Would it be difficult to make it play nice with this status bar mod? The only thing that remains after flashing your mod over his is the battery percentage. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. I'm sorry but I do not use this ROM, and thus it will be difficult for me to make mods for it.
I only wanted to release this so peeps can do it with their flavor. Maybe one of the other themers who use this Rom like rydah can fill these requests.
I do however, agree with the white icons being too white.

Love the mod. We just need the status bar up top solid black while having the dropdown transparent. I'll take a look at it and see what I can come up with . I'm good with xmls not smalis.

Let me ask you. What Rom are you using? Also, if you using stock Rom, you're likely on 4.24 ota. This was made for 4.22.
I've had same issue btw. A full restart worked for me.

I'm using MikG which is using 4.24 OTA. It's Sense 2.1 so I guess no go. What would be the best way to replicate your theme? I know how to replace the background png but I don't know how to edit scripts or anything for the font color change.

MikG is not based on OTA. It is based in Evo shift ota which had sense 2.1.
