[Froyo] Morphs discussion and progress in here plz

Loving Froyo but missing the black noti bar and icons. Anybody got any that are compatible? please share thanks!
EDIT: Many users managed to get morphs working, HOWEVER the text color mods are currently not working therefore black stat/noti bars will have unreadable black text (clock, operator). Old morphs will work, you will need to remove the services folder from your morph and edit the thm/xml accordingly. I will be posting my morph which is a black stat & noti bar after a few tweaks.
i think i read somewhere metamorph does not work in froyo, needs update.
but the good old update.zip way should work. the rom needs to be deodexed. paul will do this next week. but it would be nice, if someone could deodex classes.odex from framework services.jar, so we are able to mod the status bar. found some info about this on smali/backsmali developer page but wos afraid to do something wrong. could an expert have a look on this?
[request] deodex framework files
who wants to be first and get all the fame?^^
the older version of metamorp with .thm files is working fine in my froyo.. i have change the top bar , the launcher icon and he power widge.. setcpu will not work (name of app has changed).. also my remove dots on lock screen morph works under foryo

Could we get a link to this version because i cant seem to get anything working >.< I get an error about the theme control file? Thanks for the help anyone!
Re: Froyo - Anybody made morphs?
Each of the notification bar morphs I have used have resulted in a boot loop upon the forced reboot... if anyone has successfully morphed the froyo notification bar, could they please post a link to a the .thm file or pertinent thread? Thanks!
Ps... preferably a desire look a like, but I'd settle for anything but white

you know you can just take the framework-res.apk and put the png's that were changed into the apk and push it back to the phone.
Here is the older version for thm's guys -> http://www.mediafire.com/?amgthhzdm1t I feel comfortable posting it because it is a free app and an old version. If Im out of line please delete it admins. This is STERICSONS!!! NOT MINE!!!!!!!

UOT Kitchen It's a great online theming kitchen. Very easy to use. You chose what you want, upload the particular files, go to the pickup page, wait a bit, and before long, you get a flashable zip...

You need to learn how to use apk manager, apk tool, or apk multi tool and get really familiar with decompiling/recompiling .apks. But yes, editing the xml should do the trick...
There is actually a thread in one of the sections (probably the theming section) here that tells you how to make the background of the status bar transparent, so I'm sure the same steps would apply to changing it to white to whatever your desired color is.
Or you could just flash a different ROM or theme...lol

The only rom I have successfully cooked a theme using UOT was Whitehawkx Valhalla Final. UOT has issues extracting the apk. Atleast that is what I was told. editing the xml is probably going to be the best bet. Like thomas says getting familar with decompiling and recompiling will be the best idea.
This will be a good start -

Changing the Status Bar

Hi All
I want to change my status bar (only status bar) style (like cm7) or complete transparent. Is there any way to do this. I try to flash UOT Kitchen but it messed up. I am using ThiaiZ O3D V2.8 GB ROM.
Please help.
Thanks all
Copy SystemUI.apk from system/app/ to you pc and edit the files in res/drawable-hdpi and replace the old one.
Or just use uot kitchen Google it

He already did.
I am using ThiaiZ O3D V2.8 also and can confirm that UOT kitchen doesn't effect transparency of status bar and a couple of other modifications. Probably because ThiaiZ' is odexed.
Maybe this would help:

Black status bar for sense 4+

Ok, that was easy.
This worked for me. First im on JB_by_luxandroid_v2 (one s s3). I copied the systemUI.apk to my pc. Added .zip to the file and unzipped it. Searched for status_bar_background.9.png and used gimp to make these all black. Rezipped all the files to systemui.apk and copied back /system/apps using twrp file manager. Restart and all black status bar.

Flashable zip thanks to luxandroid (will also add black boot animation)
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../1/7/0/0/7/5/4/Flashable_black_status_bar.zip
This worked for me. All the tutorials out there say you need to decompile, modify and compile the systemui.apk. I did not have to nor do I know why it worked the easy way. So this might not work for you and might frak up your install (do a backup before trying).
If anyone wants to make a flashable zip or make this compatible with other roms, be my guest. I dont have the knowlege to develop this any further

Hi, I'm using nova launcher with trickdroid 5 s3. HTC status bar annoys me. Would like to get it all black. Would appreciate any help with getting it. The option was before in the tweak packade but that isn't available anymore. Is there a zip to flash?
Thanks in advance.

I did not encounter any zip to flash, but you could try decompiling systemUI by yourself, which I was too lazy for, so I flashed Pacman ROM.
However, you can download ICS Status Bar or Jelly Bean Status Bar by Team Syndicate, they overlay the Sense one with a AOSP one.
Tried the overlay from play store already. Would work fine on ics. Problem with jelly bean is whn you pull down the notifications status bar goes away, but the overlay does not. So that cuts away half of the clock and settings button.
Dont want to have to go back to ics

Didn't know that as I never had Jelly Bean and Sense at the same time Just go ahead and get yourself a decent ROM, and you're fine!

Would love this; I hate the ugly gradient look. The guys over on ViperOneS 2 said they would include a mod in their ROM for a black status bar but never followed up............ *sigh*

Just plain flat black.... i love it... the closest ive gotten is setting status bar transparency on home all the way in Viper ROM, either one 1.2.1 or 2.0.0, and having a black bg... But only good on home...
EDIT: I would love to remove the beveled look of the status bar....

I managed to decompile the SystemUI.apk couldnot find the obvious status bar file to modify to black, I assume there are several. Someone know witch png files need to be modified to get an all black status bar?
I have done this a long time ago on HTC touch but it seemd easier back then
been googling for hours, but cannot find clear tutorials on how to edit status bar pngs
ok think I found it. should be status_bar_background.9.png
lets see if I can get this to work with my limited knowlege
I found another way. Probably you saw that you can apply some themes in the "customize" app from HTC. Well, the devs of Virtuous ROM made some more themes for that theme chooser, including a holo-like one with a black status bar!
Ok, that was easy.
