[Q]Theme porting - T-Mobile LG G2x

So I'm reading up on theme porting. I have one theme that I realllllly like everything on except the status bar. I want to port the status bar from one theme over to the other. After I decompile the. Apk's does anyone know where I can find the status bar coding? I'm a total newb and know nothing about Linux so I'm running blind here. Any help appreciated.

Need help with theme for bionix

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.

[MOD] Transparent Enabled Notification/Statusbar Sprint OTA 4.22

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
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.

Hyperdroid theme

As i was a owner of the great hd2 and loved the hyperdroid roms!
i decided to try and port the theme to the sensation!
This is at the early stages
so far:
battery
pulldown and quick settings
removed recent apps from pulldown
Im having a bit of trouble making the notification bar semi transparent
so any advice would be helpful! ive made the png files semi transparent! so i can only guess its in a xml somewhere!
Any way lets us now if you like! or if somethings could be better!
Flash with cwm
Thanks to thyparancy as i am using his "update zip"
I like the style of the notification pulldown. For some reason though, I don't like battery percentages in my notification bar. I know it's more effecient, but meh. Is there a way I could leave it stock? What would I remove from the zip
Thanks
Have you seen this for transparent status bar?

Just remove the framework-res from the zip then flash! The notification pulldown are in the systemui only!

Of course, I'd guess there's the modified files inside the .bat you could extract and build into your theme

[Q]Transparent top bar

I am running tehgyb's rom ( 2.3.6 ) and I want a transparent top bar but for some reason UOT never works and it always stays black. Could someone who has done it tell me how they did it please? Before anyone says " just edit it yourself ", I can't because my PC will not run Photoshop nor Inkscape or Gimp. Thank you for any help.

Just decompile systemui and edit status bar.xml
I've tried it, and am working on it, thing is a lot of apps have a gray bar where the status bar is, it gets hidden by the status bar, it looks like complete crap and is distracting. So i'm working on making that go away

Also note drop down a few lines n make date background all 00s to not cause bg bleed over

I have, I have also tried three different launchers. Maybe you should include it on your next release or just go ahead and send me a systemUI with it done already.
Also, on my Optimus V running unofficial CM7.2 we just got the option of changing the color of the status bar. I do not think it is a CM7 mod either, so maybe that could be included in a update later down the road.

Yea, I have read it and the problem with that is that I cannot install the java SDK or the Android SDK and apktool does not run properly. I am on a 7 year-old E-Machinces PC with a 1.2 processor and 512 MB of Ram. I cannot run half the programs I need to do this kind of stuff. I had a friend try your guide and others for me and the result was the same- not transparent. Thank you for your help anyway.

Stock Satus Bar.

I was not sure of where to post this so i posted in both themes and general discussion, i was just wondering whether there is any MOD/APP that would be able to change the look of the Stock TouchWiz status bar to look like the Stock Android status bar?
I was also wondering the same thing
is there? i've seen a lot of screenshots with the stock status bar, and i really want it. is there anyone out there that could give us some help? Thanks a lot if anyone could.
Well, you can use a mod call Domination.

there's 3Minit Framework, it allows alot of costumization even more than the statusbar
