Hi I was just wondering how to I change the Status bar from black to white.. also the signal , battery and etc icons?
Which APK do we have to change because i thiknk its diffrent from froyo
I changed the "status_background" in ninjamorph and I kept getting FC's
Depending on the screen type, lighter coloured bars can cause burn-in over time. Personally i'm glad to finally be running Gingerbread, and a black bar, before this could happen to my phone.

SystemUI.apk
I love the new transparent status and navigation bars, and I like the new signal bar and battery colors, but now I can't see if my connection is up (pinging Google) or not.
The traffic arrows have been moved to the notification drawer widgets, so you can't tell if data is passing just by looking at the status bar. It's no biggie, but while trying to troubleshoot why Spotify wasn't showing album art or avatars (FYI, it's a bug), I realized I couldn't tell if my data was working.
I'm sure this can be fixed eventually with some tweaks, but this made me realize how much I rely on this on my day to day

Thumbed up. I was searching for this, it's a must use when you switch from home to work, and you need a fast way to enable data on phone.
Help us Devs
Here it is... Ladies and Gents, I bring you the ColorForce Theme
This is strictly notification and status bar icons. Nothing more, nothing less.
This should be compatible with most ROMs, I personally have only tested it with TriForceROM. However, if your current ROM already has SystemUI modifications, it's possible that it might not work properly and cause bootloops and/or System UI crashes. I'm not responsible for your device, you flash this at your own risk. Always have a backup.
Here's the run down:
This flash is completely customizable. Simply flash the zip file and you'll come to the AROMA installer and be greeted with lots of options. each option has a preview icon next to it to see what it will be modifying, but I will also eventually upload pictures of them all to see here as well.
Your first selection screen, you can pick which icons you wish you modify. the selections are as follows:
Battery Icons - These include 1% Incremental Battery Mod
Signal Icons - Phone Signal Strength Icons
Data Icons - Data Icons (1X, 3G, 4G LTE)
Data Activity Icons - In/Out Mobile Data Activity Icons
Wi-Fi Icons - Wi-Fi Signal Strength Icons
Quick Toggles Icons - TouchWiz Quick Toggles Icons
Bluetooth Icons - Bluetooth Icons
Misc Icons - Misc Icons (Alarm, GPS, etc.)
If you do not select an option, you won't be prompted to change it, and it won't change in your current configuration, this makes it very convenient to change something small. Let's say you have a decent theme setup, but you just want to change the battery icons.. well instead of changing anything or having to go through and select all the same options again... you simply put a check in only the battery icons and then pick your battery. It leaves the rest of your System UI in tact and simply changes the battery icons. Or maybe you only want to change the Wi--Fi and Data icons, but NOT change anything else, same thing, just select those two options, and it will only prompt you for those selections and only change those icons. Neat, right?
Now, moving along to the next step... if you selected to change the Battery Icons, you'll be prompted with the selection for the following Battery Types. The 1% battery mod is included in this theme, so you don't have to already have it installed or anything. Each selection has a preview icon next to it, so you can see what you're selecting.
Blue Circle
Castaway
Circle
ColorForce Theme
Honeycomb
Horizontal
Stock
Tacho
Two Bars
White
If you select ColorForce Battery, you will then be able to choose the color of the battery health gauge. Those colors are Green, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Orange, and again, each one has a preview icon.
After you select your Battery, you will then be prompted for what's asking you do you want to change all the icons to the same color. This is simply asking you this: For the selections you picked from the first screen, (other than the battery) do you want them all to be the same color or not. Example: if you select Wi-Fi and Signal icons and nothing else and you want them both to be Blue, you'd say yes here and then select Blue at the next screen. Or if you selected them ALL and you want everything to be Pink, just tap yes and then tap Pink. This will skip having to pick the same color multiple times.
But this is where the major customization comes in... you can select them separately and have so many different combinations of colors! Simply press no here and you'll then be prompted for each individual option after this point.
Every single selection from here on out has 9 different colors to pick from. Again those are Green, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Orange, and Stock. Stock is not a color but the actual Stock icons, so you can always return to ground zero if you like.
The final option is whether or not you want to have a transparent Notification Menu pull down. Some people like this, some people don't. This will make it a 50% transparent background. It removes the background of the quick toggle icons as well.
After you've selected all those options, you simply install it from this point. It will take your current SystemUI.apk file and mod it with the selections.
Again, you can always go back to stock by simply putting a check in all boxes, selecting the stock battery and selecting yes to all colors and then selecting stock.
Screenshots are available in the second post, I'll eventually build all the icons sets and post those as well.
Here's the download for the first version, 1.1 -> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407571189
Screenshots Attached.
And one more, just in case.
Man we are lucky (as a community) to have you. Thanks for all your efforts!

I don't know enough about what xposed does to say one way or another, but I would guess that it could have some issues with it.

I believe Xposed will over ride most systemUI mods
Pretttyyy sure the only thing Xposed won't over ride is 3Minit. Otherwise, yes, as Cerj said, it will most likely override other system UI mods. Test it out by uninstalling (or just unactivate) the Xposed Modules that make changes to the system UI, then flash this theme!
I tried flashing the circle battery. When I rebooted, I had stock battery with percent. I do run xposed and figured that that must be the problem. I uninstalled and tried again. Same result.

Sorry to say, no.
I haven't heard any success stories, which concerns me here, I see that the people that have tried this are running the custom frameworks, which I've been told doesn't work with this type of theme'ing.
Has anyone else had any luck with it?

I was able to get it working at least the battery blue circle. Had to disable xuimode in xposed. Give me a few days and I will try and test all of the options for you.

What do you mean by this? Can you show me a picture? could be a problem with the installer.

Google introduced a status bar icon editor back in developer previews of 8.0, yet seemed to have vanished from public release.
This is the menu where you used to hold the gear icon on the status bar, it would spin and unlock the editor.
For this, you can use any "activity launcher" however I will explain using Nova.
Long press on the home screen.
Select widgets.
Then you'll see "Activies" - press this.
Scroll down to "System UI" - touch it. You'll then see "Demo mode"(3rd option down) - touch this and a little wrench will appear on your home screen.
Press it. You'll see the status bar editor open up. Select status bar, and turn off the icons you want removed.
After this, reboot. And they will be gone.
I have Bluetooth, Alarm Clock, and signal bars all removed. Makes the status bar just clean and neat.
Give it a try!
ENJOY!
This is a great hidden find, unfortunately I wasn't able to remove the battery icon.... I don't need that with percentage showing.
Didn't work on my Global version. I can unselect then but after rebooting they are all still there.

I'm using the global version, and it works great on mine and another buddies of mine.
What version software do you have?
Only WiFi seems to disappear for me. Other icons just reappear on my global variant of the Mate 20 X. But thank you for the guide regardless.
Also wish the performance mode icon could be hidden, but that's not even an option.
Sigh, if we could just get near stock Android + sprinkles of EMUI customisations, I'd be so happy.. I love the hardware, camera, overall feel of the Mate 20 X but keep finding myself playing with my 6T and Pixel 2 XL because the software is a tough pill to swallow on the Huawei phone.

9.0.0.127
Seems like some toggles work, while some others don't :/
Would love to hide the VoLTE icon on the status bar. Or some way to rearrange the ordering if possible.
Edit: Just realized I can simply turn off VoLTE in the mobile networks settings (since I don't use it) to remove the icon.
can u explain 1 2 3
how i can remove eye comfort and volte?
how i can remove eye comfort and volte?
Wow, I was really excited about this, but my phone automatically overrides it at boot. I think I can see it for a split second before it reverts, but it might just be populating the icons.
Anybody know more about this?
I am using lawn chair V2 launcher and although you can't hide icons you can set it to hide the whole status bar, very clean and to see the bar you just pull down from the top of the screen
