More and more tw based stock roms for the d2vzw are allowing you to change the status bar background as well as the notifciation panel dropdown background. In the case of the M.O.A.R. rom you can do this via morphology. In the case of Goodness, there is an option to set that in 3 mint. settings. Unfortunately when you reboot your phone when running the goodness rom you have to reassign that image. All the AOKP style roms have this feature and allow you to select any image, any format (png,jpg), any size. It would be very cool if some dev would create a mod for a tw based strock rom that would allow you to do this, similar to the way the AOKP allows you to do this.

decompile SystemUI.apk
go into
res/values/drawables.xml
now find this line - (This is for the Status bar..)
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">ff000000</item>
now you assign a .png
replace this line with this
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">@drawable/statusbar</item>
now, you make statusbar.png and put it into drawable-xhdpi
recompile.
then you can do whatever you'd like to this .png... make it any color, any transparency, an image.

you da man andy. I have fooled around with doing this kinda stuff and have had moderate success. but I was really referring to more like on the the fly morphing. that way if I get bored, I can change it again quickly
thanks again for your input.

quite welcome man, a better way to say thanks, is by hitting the "thanks" button from my post
well to change it on the fly, that requires quite a bit more smali coding work, I'm not too sure how well you are at smali, I personally do no know how to do, I'm sure if I spent some time with it I could figure it out.
but
honestly, to save a lot of time, I would just make it into an Aroma option.
works great. I mean unless you are changing it like every day, or even if you do change it every day, Aroma still works great, you can make just a flashable Aroma .zip to change just the status bar and/or status bar pulldown, and can add other things in there if so wanted, for example, lidroid toggle options, change to/from 5/6/7 toggles in the row, change the toggle background using the method above but with the lidroid-res.apk, just some examples, you can keep it real simple as in change just one thing, or a bunch.
but I agree having things in the ROM on the fly is definitely awesome.
just depends on preference

I'm no developer unfortunately, but actually I swap images in the drawable folders all the time in zips created by others. that works great. it's just a pain having to boot to recovery everytime I want to change something. anyway it's just something I wanted to throw out there. maybe some hot shot dev will take on this challenging project.

Fair enough on the section... even though it's compiled rather than a theme... I could have put it elsewhere. The mods are pretty friendly round here though, so no harm no foul.
Didn't mean to step on your territory either... I couldn't find a morph for 5.0.7 that didn't break services.jar. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. I take no creative credit, nor do I intend to maintain, I just thought it filled a gap. Perhaps I was wrong. If this is the case the mods can delete.

can this be flashed via recovery?
or do i have to push the 2 files to the appropriate places via ADB?
thanks in advance
EDIT: had to push the 2 files using ADB; works great, using it on nightly from yesterday
Nice, been looking for just the bar.
Ok, stupid question time, I have adb set up on my laptop, but the power cord is fried, need to wait for the replacement to come in. Could I just use root explorer to copy the files over? I'm guessing I'd need to mount r/w first though.

You can use root explorer after mounting /system as rw yes (do this with root explorer). Copy the files as in post #1 and reboot.
Bug
This causes the market to FC every time it tries to install anything.
I've wiped and reflashed cyan 507 t2 and all is ok. as soon as i push servicer.jar and the framework-res.apk it causes market to FC when it tries to install...
Using Root Explorer kept putting me in a boot loop, the phone reboots as soon as I try to replace the framework-res file. I threw adb on my store's pc, got it working just fine that way, thanks for this.
@adam, go to settings -> applications -> Manage applications and go to Market. Uninstall updates, and everything should work fine.

Yes, colours, depth, size and transparency. In fact they're better optimised than the stock images. This was just a stop-gap until somebody releases a 5.0.7 morph or theme though.

Wow! Keen eye... I see it also but only for a split-second before it changes to an H.
I've just released a beta of Kang-o-rama 0.7 and will endeavour to fix it for the final release of that.
Many people using the Power Control Widgets that I ported inquired about the ability to control the behavior of the various toggles that are available, such as Brightness Levels, Screen Timeout, Sound Modes (silent/vibrate/etc), Flashlight Modes (death ray/normal), as well as the ability to dynamically set the indicator bar on/off color below each widget (nice!).
So, I began investigating how this was controlled in CM. After some digging, I found the applicable locations where these options are controlled and began hacking away at making a stand alone application available that would present the above referenced configuration options to those using this mod, while eliminating all the various other options not applicable to this mod.
This is an extreme hack to make work, but I am proud to say that I have v1.0 available and ready for download. I say v1.0, as there are additional options I want to make available via this application that are not yet present, but I wanted to put out what I have now. This bad boy took some major surgery to get working on our Sense ROMs, requiring me to pull out a lot of tricks in my hacking arsenal, and I'm almost as proud of it as the actual port itself!
In addition to the above referenced features currently in place, I also hope to add the option to turn widgets on/off all together, as well as dynamically choose which widgets to display, in lieu of, or in addition to, the current widget.txt file.
The application, once flashed, is named 'PowerControl Settings', and when looking for it in your app drawer, utilizes the following icon:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And following are some screen captures of the options available / referenced above:
It should be noted that if your ROM dev customized your widgets to a fixed color for the indicator bars (if they are not a default cyan blue, they are fixed to a different color), that the dynamic indicator color feature shown above will NOT work, since, as mentioned, it has been hardcoded to be a specific color. This would have to be undone, or you could flash a stock version from the mod thread to get back the dynamic option.
Download PowerControl Settings Application v1.1 <--- Flash via Recovery to install
Update 1/30/22: Small tweak to the app made to prevent appearance of RenderFx in widgets selection list, since this widget does not apply to this mod and should not appear.
Of course, it is important to mention / thank the CM team for the original application of which this port is based.
NOTE: If you plan to use the 'toggleScreenTimeout' widget, now that you can control timeout levels via this PowerControl Settings app, I had to adjust the available intervals, as CM offers different timeout intervals than what are available in Sense ROMs (making it incompatible). This required an edit to the services.jar file only, as such, I have created a patched services.jar file (v2.1.1) available for download at the bottom of the mod thread. It is only necessary to flash this if you wish to use the 'toggleScreenTimeout' widget.
Nice.. thank you!
Very cool!
awesome work like always John!
going to download now
All I can say is Nice Work! Is this something that will work on the Widgets ported for Inc Roms?
man, this is great! you just keep pumping out these great mods! thanks for your commitment to the Evo
You keep out doing yourself. THANKS
Excellent stuff! Thanks for sharing your work. Humble request: Sound+Vib/Sound/Vib/Silent.
Nice.
Will future versions allow full customization of the widget itself such as background appearance, buttonize appearance, icons, etc.?
thank u man... good stuff.
much like everyone else is wondering though... will u implement a feature that will change the widgets on the bar also?
personally im not worried about it... but i do wonder.
worked great, just as expected.
i love being able to set the flashlight to death ray. that's the only way i use it!
and being able to change the color of the indicator bar worked great and allowed me to find a better matching blue than the one I had set via smali
you're the man!
Again, as I said in my post in your original thread, this APP is by far the BEST APP I have on my EVO..... Adding these features just added more sugar to an already tasty treat!
(any chance you plan on ever making a buttonized version like you had in the original one?)
You da man!! Will test this out after work today!

I want to keep the widget.txt option in place, so that you can use it to control the order of the widgets. Then, if not present, default down to the toggles checked via the application for which widgets to display (order can't be controlled). This adds another layer of complexity to the code that is making it more difficult, so I removed the check box options all together in v1.0, and as mentioned, hope to add this later.

This would take both a new application and a new framework file, which just isn't feasible to try and maintain a bunch of different versions for personal preference, etc.

I have to be honest with you, I very rarely acknowledge / answer these questions for a few reasons.

Good job with colors.
I will look into into it to find the app lables color.
As the bottom quickpanel I have no idea
I just know how to make those bars (sliders) thiner.
The lables color is in the framework, in value/colors.xml, but if you change the color from there it changes oher black colors insome other parts, too. So I need to find the source. of them which is in layout and change the color one by one until I find the right one.

Thanks mate.
We can't change the color to white, because it changes colors of some other parts, too. They have same value. You can see it in picture 1 and 2.
The best thing we can do is those two last pictures.
I'm looking for the colors of the "Running" tab, because it's white and different than other tab. At least we can make all the tabs the same.
I understand its defined by the framework. Change a global setting it spreads down the lane.
so the manage_application_item gets served a color from the colors.xml but where is this defined in the layout? does it mean that black is already defined for the @id/app_name in the framework? this will be difficult to override without redoing earlier changes, which ends in yet a new design, brilliant! its a good discovery maybe a right one as well haha
keep cookin ;
oh the blue subtext looked cooler than white.

Sorry I made a mistake, it's not in the layout, it's in "framework-res.apk/res/color/primary_text_light.xml" and "framework-res.apk/res/color/secondary_text_light.xml"
BTW, there is another problem. Changing the color of the Running tab changes other colors, including the clock on the satatus bar and other fonts on satus bar like Media Scanning and even the clock on the lock screen.
but the white text in the first picture Running tab you only change the main theme to black, and the white text was there correct?

Yes, It's white but the other tabs are gray and because of that I wanted to change the color to gray like the other tabs but it changes some other thigns.
The right value for Running tab is in framework-res.apk\res\color\primary_text_dark.xml.
I think this is the best think we can make considering those problems that we talked about.
I've attached both framework-res.apk and Settings.apk, if you want to try it.

Don't worry, the power menu isn't white. it's dark gray.
Has anyone gotten it to work?
I've spent the last two days researching the matter, just to find the step-by-step methods from other phones dont work because of the different folder/file layouts, or its for froyo/cm7/ics.
And the prepared files from other devices have a totally different size and the status bar doesnt show up at all.
I'm not just asking around, if there is interest, i'll share what i've gathered and we can make it happen for the a2.
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I really don't know much about it, but if it is possible in Ginger Bread, then it should work for us, I know you can change the color pretty easily, but transparency would be more difficult. I'll take a look.

sure its possible,all u need is photoshop and change transparency to 100%.
but..i dont understand why, the system icons in to are going to looks funny on different color wallpapers. this is why you mainly only find lets say a status bar with only 50% transparency otherwise itll not look right depending on the wallpaper. you would have to change the icons as well and give them a black border glow in photoshop to make it look decent on any background.

Tried that. Before, and again a couple of days ago. It don't work too well depending on your transparency... the notifications get smeared and kind of stain the stat bar with their image. But, I have accomplished it at one point, and I remember it also is clear when your lockscreen is closed (meaning the lockscreen image is only meant to go up to the bottom of the status bar, so you got clearness at the top). I'll try to find my screen shots of it when I get home...
And, the status bar is a .9.png, so you have to be careful not to turn the 1 pixel border transparent also - wait, or maybe that was the trick? I just broke the 9patch?
Dont think it'd look bad around 50%.
I still intend to get this done, but on ics now, the thick black bars also anger me on the bottom of the webtop interface

The buttom bar hiding in webtop i got it to work, (manually) but its not as good as roms that autohide it like cm9 ones i see on some samsungs.. so id rather not post it unless someone asks for it
As far as the Transparent Status bar goes... well, ive spent another day on this, and i get so close but never manage to finish the deal.
route #1
They say its possible in ROM Toolbox Pro.
This guy got it working on his RAZR, (the icon menu, this is important because the transparency toggle is in the icon menu.).
I tried it, but it said "your framework isnt compatible with rom manager icon changer ... you can turn off the check in settings".
Well, I turned off the check and it still says the same thing. And the guy with the razr with probably the same framework got it running...
(Tried with close to latest rom toolbox... i tried to install an older one but my phone says insufficent application space and i have 4.2g free)
route #2
I tried the manual way too, with the tools and frameworks described in the atrix2 thread
Heres the guide for that.
All went well except for the said line
const/16 v16, 0x4
we have to change to
const/16 v16, -0x3
is const/4 v5, 0x4
by default.
I changed it anyway to -0x3 and im greeted with no status bar upon boot.
I can compile decompile an apk and push back and it works failry well, so its not that im not doing it properly, (i dont think you have to sign system files btw ? i tried it both ways) but there might be a chance for that...
there is a const/16 line tough, but its v value is different than what we need, and not above the said line... problem is i have no idea what these things mean... any help from an established modder would be more than welcome.
(this is for deodexed scv7)
This is just something I've been working on for myself, but figured I would put it out here in case someone else wanted it.
WARNING!! This is based on Trailblazer's Mods, the latest is the Grip Sensor Mod found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997238
If you are not using that mod, I not sure if this will work for you....but it might.
It would be helpful if you are familiar with Trailblazer's Themer to get the most out of this.
This mod will center the Ticker Date/Time. I also made it so if you use Trailblazer's Themer to change the clock color it will change the date color and if you are using the AOSP or 4TAB lockscreen sincluded in Tb's mod it will change the text color on them too.The color is set to red in this package, but you can change it to what ever you want using the themer
It also has new softkeys with some text added...they will NOT change color using the themer, you can change the softkey PNG's using the themer.
It also will change the ticker weather icons. I use the icons from Ciscogee's mod's, so thats what is in this.
This also has a mod for the Ticker Missed Notification Screen. I don't use the stock email or IM apps, so I changed it so if you press the email icon it will open your GMail inbox and the IM Icon will open the stock contacts. It will NOT give you any notifications for Gmail, that is something that I may try later, but don't get your hopes up!! If you don't want the notification mod, you can just open up the zip, pull out the Framework-res.apk. and push it to your phone however you like, or let me know and I can separate them if I need to.
Let me know if you use this and have any problems. I've been running it for a couple days and haven't noticed any issues.

The only problem I had was that it showed the new soft keys layout but had the old soft keys feel, example: menu, home, back, and search.. But that's actually not a problem for me since I know how to fix it. overall I like it. red is a color I haven't tried out in a while if you have others I am willing to test them out with no problem.
Hmm, not sure why that happened... I pulled it right off my phone with the correct ICS key mapping. Sorry about that!
Do you mean different colored softkeys? I think I have white. When I get home I will post the PNG's here. They are easy to change with any editor, I use pixelformer, but ms paint works too. Just change to the color of your choice, put them in the softkey file in TB's Themer and they will show up in the options.
The color for everything else will change to whatever you set the clock color too with the themer.
Did the changes to the ticker notifications work ok?

No no I mean the red Ics layouts were there but when it came to pressing them, for example the back button, the menu popped. Having the original continuum key layou but this was nothing but a quick fix. no real problems with it.
edit: By the way you gave me an idea on the color so I'm gonna theme the phone red. I'll show you an example in a bit.
Yeah, it just did the same thing to me too. Had a little issue last night and basically had to rebuild my phone from scratch... Long night
I'm not sure why it reverts back to the stock key mapping, I KNOW I had the correct mapping when I made it. But it seems like it's done that to me before.
And the red has grown on me too
I had it all a dark blue while I was testing it, but it was to hard to see in the dark. Can't wait to see what your working on!
