[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?^^

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

Hi any chance from you or somebody else to post the Old MMorph app
Can't find it , just the new one @ market
Thanks

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!!!!!!!

[request] Vanilla theme for Jerpelea's AOSP 2.1 ROM - White Theme - Advice Please!

Hey all,
while i love the latest ROM that jerpelea has released (007), i am actually still quite a fan of the white vanilla theme. I can perfectly understand J's reasons behind theming his release, however i personally love the white look.
im more after advice than someone to create a theme for me, if i replaced the framework-res.apk with the one from the b006 AOSP release would this work? Jerpelea has replaced a few icons and set the statusbar black, but other than that i am not sure. I thought all that was done via the framework-res file.
if i replace the file, but not any customised apk's (if any) will the phone boot and have a mixed theme or not boot at all?
any advise would be appreciated

Hi,
I'm agree .. build b007 is great, but personaly i don't like design of AOSP 2.1 last version
I already work on a new design for this ROM & i'll release that, soon
regards
SEMPITERNAL

cool cool, let me know if u want me to test anything.
any thoughts on what i said about replacing the framework file with the one from b006?
i might just backup and try it myself. gotta love the xrecovery menu!

Did the clock in the status bar get changed to white? from the sneak peak shots kat night I saw it was black on black, so if it's still black clock then you could swap the status bar and the icons from 006 and place them in the 007 framework and then push out to your phone. Of course back up the ron in recovery just in case of any mistakes and you only get the sony screen on reboot after making the changes.

yeah i bricked it with just changing the framework-res.apk file on its own.....restored with xrecovery so all good.
so you are saying that i should copy all files from within the framework folder from the b006 ROM? i can give that a crack soon.
last time i copied just the one file over (framework-res.apk) using root explorer.
btw, this is what it looks like in the latest rom. i like it, but i just like the white more (i think it is the novelty of having an almost stock rom on the x10 )

ok i have managed to rip the entire contents from the /system/framework folder on the b006 ROM now. can anyone tell me how many of these files i need to push back over, and in what order? i would imagine that i need to do the actual framework-res.apk file last as this one reboots the phone when i change it.

Oh he changed the time to white as well then kit should work just putting the items from the drawable-hdpi folder that'd in res on 006 over to the 007 although now that he changed the clock to white the click won't show up on the status bar. PM me both frameworks and I can see what I can do for ya. Might be able to use dx2000's sense theme to make it happen.

Could you upload these? I haven't got the 006 ROM on my machine anymore <_<
EDIT: Actually come to think of it, won't changing the services.jar file change J's fixes to radio right at startup in 007? I mean, it still worked in 006, but it takes a minute or two to actually kick in.

Nope.
Libril.so is the file assosciated with the radio upon boot.
Service.jar contains information about the Top-Bar, colour etc.

[MOD] 1% Battery animation and Sprint Lovers Icons for Stock 4.22 GB release

All credit for these Icons goes to the creators of the Sprint Lovers ROMS on XDA as well as the original creator, schmittx. His page can be found here: (link to be added this evening)
You must be running a ROM that has a base of the 4.22.651 release of Gingerbread with Sense. (i.e. stock, Ti-X, etc.)
Just flash in Recovery, Amon RA or Clockwork. Please post any issues or any requests.
*See images for Icons colorized!!* NOTE:4G is there and blue, but, I couldn't get a screenshot off it since I have no signal at work.
Thanks for the ICONS Sprint Lovers and schmittx.
Flash and Enjoy guys!!!

Peace,
Unfortunately this does not work on MikG's 2.1 + 3.0 (v1.03). It complely removed my status bar
-ZDK-

Pinky,
Great job!
ZDK,
Reboot and your statusbar "should" come back. I think it may be Sense 2.1 thats doing that. I had the same issue with mine as well...

Yeah, sorry guys. It was meant for strictly stock release (rooted of course ) of GB which was released.
I didn't test it on anything else, but I assumed as long as the .apks I modified weren't too much different than stock (due to modification) on the ROMS with the 4.22 Base, it would work....
Can you send me the ROM you guys are on or point me to a link? I can take care of it for you guys

Will this work on the stock gb odexed rom?

I would def love to see an adaptation for the MikG v1.03 as well.

Anyway to update the GPS icon when its searchng? It reverts to the old icon when its searching.

I also noticed this removed the transparency that I originally had for the drop down notifications. Anyway of getting the transparency back without messing up the icons?

If you can, send me the framework-res.apk from the ROM you are on (the original one). You can find it in the /system/framework/ directory using Root Explorer. Copy it to you SD card and upload.
NOTE: Since you flashed my zip, you removed the transparency. However, i can get it back. i just need the original from the ROM, you may have to unzip the ROM and navigate to /system/framework and get me the original.
I will gladly do it for you though

Hey Pinky059,
I think I gave you the wrong framework file from SteelRom. The original one I posted was after I installed your mod. Here is the correct framework file.....
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=547KW8A4

These are, by far, my favorite status bar icons of any that I've seen/used... would it be possible to get these for the MikG ROM? I'm sure he will be updating to the new 4.24 OTA soon as everyone is doing, but after that, could I upload the framework files and you swap the icons? That would be VERY much appreciated

Unrelated side note-
I see you have the temperature in your status bar..
Is this an app or is there a hack that can put that there? I'd love to have it there instead of having to unlock every time to see the temp.

Does UOT kitchen work with Theme Chooser apps now? Last time I used it, it was only for the actually framework files (framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk).

i guess not i read a bunch about just getting the theme chooser.apk and uploading that and it is supposed to add an apk to the zip it gives u to download
1. Go to the Kitchen page
2. Browse through the available mods and choose what you want (don't forget to press Generate preview if there is such a button)
3. Go to the file upload section and upload the required files, or choose the ROM you use from the kitchen's list (most roms in the list are for HTC Desire)
Files you need to upload:
Froyo rom: framework-res.apk
Gingerbread rom: framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
Gingerbread with sense rom: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk
Cyanogenmod7 rom: Cyanbread.apk or Androidian.apk or any theme for ThemeChooser (rename as you like it to apear in theme menu)<----thats what im using
NOTE 1: if you’re uploading theme apk then do not upload any other files; you’re just wasting traffic, because the kitchen will ignore additional files
NOTE 2: Font packs and boot animation do not require files to be uploaded. If you choose only those mods then you get a download without a queue.
4. Go to the summary section. All chosen mods must have a green background. If there is a mod in red background it means you didn’t finish it.
Press Submit work to kitchen
5. Remember the UOT file name (your order number).
6. Go to the Pickup page and wait for your file to appear (it can take from 5min to 1hr or more)
7. Download UOT zip into SD card of your phone
8. Reboot into recovery
9. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache (just in case). Do not wipe data / factory reset.
10. Flash UOT zip
11. Reboot phone

Hey Kwes - I have not tried UOT with New Clip because you mentioned themes may break things. Does that also apply to UOT? I wanted to change the color of all the items on the status bar to the hex ICS color. Should that be OK if I do not change anything else?
Or is there a better way to do that?

As long as you use the systemui and framework-res from the rom it shouldn't break anything. But some sketchy edits I made in framework as work a rounds might not let you edit it with uot but you can always try. I'm gonna update soon if I can just get these lock screens right.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Thanks. I will give it a try tonight or tomorrow. I want to make a set of all gingerbread green status bar icons and a set of all ICS blue status bar icons. If it works I will send them to you and you could add them to New Clip (if you want to) as an option for people that want everything matching, but do not want a complete makeover theme.
I just think it looks nice when the battery, clock, signal, wifi, etc match in color. Fond of ICS blue right now. I think I know how to repack it so anyone can use it. I'll PM you later if I get it done.
Edit: Well...that was a disaster. I just changed the status bar icons and added a different battery. Result was a boot loop twice and then a black screen requiring a battery pull. Restored my back up and will give it another try. Maybe a bad file download?

An all new update is just around the corner. Kwes1020 has some magic he is holding back until its right. Old weapon 3.0 works fine with UOT. I am not a real theme guy. I answer easy questions for noobs and piggyback off the hard work of others, but always give credit and thanks to the real guys. If the update does not happen as expected, I will take another stab at it.
I love learning new things and android has become an addiction. If you want to try, read up on topic. Tons of good info out there. UOT is simple to use. The trick is making the zip you create compatable with every one else. There is a mini tutorial in the moonman thread.

My First Time
So I sat for over an hour making my first OUT kitchen Theme if that is what you call it, I am waiting for it to cook as you say.... hope all goes well when I flash it to my stock Gingerbread rom......

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 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.

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.
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.

Here is my modified systemui.apk

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 F up your install (do a backup before trying)l
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

It is actually an app with a link to it in settings. However, here is a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853013. Have fun with them!
