How do I make my status bar look like the ICS themed ones? I've seen them in screenshots but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. Also I can't even figure out how to install them.
Someone should turn the themes in flashable .zips
that person would be my hero.
I think they just change the battery icons to look like ics.
Sent from somewhere in East Tn. On my Atrix 2 of course.
If you can find a theme, it will either be a flashable zip or integrated into a ROM.
By ICS theme, the most ICS-looking ROM currently is lfaber06's "Supercharged Atrix" ROM.

Here is an update.zip to get 2.1 app icons for Darchstar's AOSP 2.1 ROM.
This uses some icons from the Desire ROM, some from Espresso and some from stock Android 2.1. Hope you like it!
This also changes the colors on the Power Control widget from blue to green (I think green matches the colors in the rest of the ROM better, personally).
Also you will notice that in the Widgets menu the old Calendar icon is used. I searched for that icon everywhere and couldn't find it If someone else can let me know and I'll change it.

Thx for sharing, a full updated icon pack from desire 2.1 rom is posted in my thread.. once again thank you
Tanks !
It works on EVERY 2.1 ROM or just for Darchstar's AOSP 2.1 ROM?
What's up all. Looking for someone to help out on this.
I've been trying to find a way to make the status bar semi-transparent. (not notification bar) Is there a way to flash a zip file and have the status bar transparent or half way so the wallpaper is showing. This will make the screen look bigger and the over look on sense themes will be sweet.
I'm using the mannup revolution theme that comes with redemption rom.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It would be awesome if someone could make a standalone zip (the one in the post includes the round battery indicator) with just the transparency
Lots of transparency mods don't include transparency on the item backgrounds, and that one does. Pretty awesome

Thanks for the help guys!!! This will get me started. I tried flashing the the transparent bar over Redemption rom with the incredible revolution theme and the bar was only transparent when the phone was in lock. After I unlock the phone it went back to the black status bar. Might have been because I removed rosie to only use launchepro. I'll mess around with this and post if I get anywhere.
I'm surprised there are not more themes with an option for the semi-transparent status bar. Even the semi status bar when phone is locked looked awsome.
If any one has any other ideas, please post them. Thanks!!!
It only fully works when using the sense launcher.
I would use it, but it removes any rosie mods (such as the manup sexy rosie skin) when applied so i haven't been able to use it lately.
Yeah same here. I wish it was as simple as flashing a zip to change the script in a current theme framework.

Privet,its in services.jar file its simple to mod but i dint know what line it is that makes it transparent.The mod you have becomes clear with lwp's also.
I've been messing with this for a while, I've got mine transparent, but it turns out launcher pro doesn't support the transparencies. As soon as I install launcher pro it goes solid black.
really? i didnt think launcher pro had any affect on the notifications bar
Yeah I had the same issue. I'm using the redmptive rom now with the matted blues theme. I edited the theme to have the transparent bar and decided not to use launcher pro anymore.

Do it through ninja morph... worked for me. Only issue is that all of the notifications for battery and signal have black backgrounds that you'll have to fix as well.
I've searched this forum for the last week on and off since going with RR213/#4 and loving it. I'd like to tweak it a bit to my taste though.
I can't seem to find add on or theme that will work other than in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827081
I've tried so many themes, circle batterys, status icons and none have worked with RR because Lou is a little ahead of his time with the way he breaks out the different elements of this rom.
Hopefully if there are other add ons that work with RR 213 the links can all be posted in this thread.
I'm a dev and didn't dig too deep, but it appears all the mods out there need to be "paired down" for compatibility with Lou's Redemtion roms.
If anyone else has any add ons or themes working please post thread here so we can have a single location to find anyting that is working with Redemtion roms.
Thanks.
I agree the inc /evolution hybrid is a bit different than regular oem sense roms. But its the best running sense rom I've used bar none with #4 kernel. I have a metamorph mod for the entire notification bar pm me if your interested in using it.

What are you trting to accomplish? With the help of many of the developers, I have been able to make flashable rosie mod remaps. There are numberous battery immages that you can use if you replace the images in the Framework and resources apk's. It is easy enough to make a flashable zip of those things.
I have attached some screen shots of changes I have made. On the stock Rosie, I made it semi transparent and used JsChiSurf's remaps to create different rt button combos (I have adjusted the images). Different Icon sets in the notification bar as well as different battery mods. There is also an image of the Carbon Expresso version rosie.
But will we lose the 4x5 app drawer? And the transparency? That's what the op was asking I think, for mods specific to RR2.1.3....
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Mine is the 5x5 with transparency. I also have the version that says "all apps" instead of redemption. I can make it 4x5 as well. I just need to remeber what the file was.
Everything in my screen shots are done in RR 2.1.3.
Cool I have some metamorphs...maybe we should start a RR mod thread.

Thanks that worked with Slayer Black Bar.
ADDON_V12_3_70_Only_BlackTB_SlayersTransitions causing fc on all apps and rebooting. Doing restore.

Trying ADDON_R9V8_BlueGlassTB_signed_wTra.zip next.
Force close after boot up on everything, looks nice though, gonna have to recover again.
Am I missing something, is there some other framework that is required besides stock rr2.13?

You have custom zips? How about sharing, your screen shots look good or is that the whole theme you used?

Dude your flashing slayers framework when you flash his taskbar mod unless he used metamorph. Also you can't flash any service or framework jar or you will lose the taskbar power mod. You can change any image you want with 7zip.

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.

Just insert a black png for the status bar. I only enabled the transparent, but it isn't necessary.

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.
Go to themikmik.com and you will find this mod in several themes.

High guys I was hoping somebody could port motomoto's theme over to US/Verizon S3's. His new update doesn't seem to work with other S3's and if possible I would like a couple of changes to the theme.
1) Semi-transparent status bar and notification panel
2) ics blue numbers for dialer.
3) ics blue titles for notifications
4) ics blue notification symbols
5) TWRP support, he seems to only support CWM
6) I don't know if he kept the ics blue notification bubbles on his new theme but he had it on his old one and that looked awesome.
Thank You, I am sure this would be an awesome theme if somebody could make it.

The 12/7 version is same as the Aroma version for 4.1.1. The changes affected 4.1.2 and don't work anyway. To get what you are looking for flash kindacraps mods picking everything blue and black. Set transparencies to 75%. Then flash Moto's theme. To flash on TWRP swap out zipalign in the 2 VRTheme folders in the Moto zip. Zipalign can be found here. If using kindacraps mods on latest Synergy with Multi-Window do not flash the android policy mods which is the middle one of the first three options. Only flash the SystemUI and Framework mods.
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/utilities/zipalign
I was hoping somebody with theming experience could combine both themes together as a flashable zip but as soon as I get to my computer I will try changing the vrtheme.
