This Guide is intended for rom developers/cooks to add some visual candy for they roms.
All credits are due to ihlades, and we would want to thank him for all his efforts to the Open Source community, a true example of a respected developer and we are very proud to have him here at XDA...Thanks!!, to pongster who has been sharing this since he opensourced his GBX project over at the HD2 forums, and all the great devs who help other users into becoming true modders, thanks!!
We (Hyperdroid Team) have been using this mod in three devices now (SGT, HD2 and S2), so we are confident it will work in any android based device running gingerbread (we have not tested yet on ICS).
you must have basic compiling/decompiling knowledge and already have the tools set up to it to edit xmls.
The xmls are located at framework-res.apk/res/drawable
This is the list of the xmls to edit
progress_large.xml
progress_large_white.xml
progress_medium.xml
progress_medium_white.xml
progress_small.xml
progress_small_titlebar.xml
progress_small_white
search_spinner.xml
copy and paste replacing current code with this code into them
progress_large.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-rotate android:drawable="@drawable/spinner_black_76" android:pivotX="50.0%" android:pivotY="50.0%" android:frameDuration="25" android:framesCount="48"

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
progress_medium.xml
Code:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
then compile back.
If you noticed, all we are doing is increasing the frames count in the same time, giving the spinners the smooth animation it deserves
here are the xmls zipped uncompiled for your commodity, just replace them in framework-res.apk/res/drawable, then compile back.
and here is a vrtheme for it, it should work in any device (untested and dont come crying here it doesnt work, if it doesnt, then do the whole process which is about 1 min if you know what you are doing)
Great tutorial this new year!

Try to search for hyperdroid in youtube, there are plenty of videos there. Look at the spinnibg circle when the device is "thinking", its not pause like on stock, its smooth

Thank you very much for this interesting job.
But what's about Sense GB ROMs?
I've edited xml files according your tutorial in the framework-res.apk in my 3.5 Sense ROM for HD2 and received permanent FC of HTC Sense.
Any advice?

Yes there is, as a matter of fact we use that mod aswell.
At mobile right now so cant give u specifics, but that is related to progressbar, adding more png to drawable hdpi and to xml that call for them, I will get back to you on that one.
If you notice, this are very simple moda that make our devices better. Very simple ones.

would very much appreciate that mate - hopefully the chef's will incorporate them in their up and coming ROM's although I might have a play myself
three things I don't like about my Note is -
1. Spinners - which you have sorted
2. Progress Bar - which I would like to smooth out
3. Unlock and Call select - also like to smooth out
thanks again for you time and guide

Hi, I know there are a few topic about this, but I checked it and don't have an answer.
I want to get work this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427510
So I dowloaded smoothspinners.7z and copy famework-res.apk from my phon to place-apk-here-for-modding in sdk folder (I installed APK Multi-Tool version 2.0)
I opened APK Multi-Tool and chose 9 (decompile) next go to project folder and replace file from smoothspinners.7z to framework-res.apk/res/drawable.
After that I chose 11 (compile) in APK Multi-Tool
"is this a system apk?" I chose "y"(yes)
"Aside from the signatures, would you like to copy over any additional files that you didn't modify from the original apk in order to ensure least # of errors" I chose "n" (no)
Next rename "unsignedframework-res.apk" from place-apk-here-for-modding to framework-res.apk and copy to android-sdk/platform-tools/
Next I adb:
adb remount
adb push /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb remount
Next change permission to 644
And after reboot I have bootloop
Can someone help me, please? (of coures I have backup in recovery so my phon work, but I want to know what I made wrong in this steps)

Great mod, my spinners look great now.....so smooth! I would also be interested in the progress bars mod as well
Great Eye Candy! Thanks for this.
I may have missed it, but I did not see it mentioned in this thread:
This worked perfectly in Froyo (HTC Sense)!
Made a bigger difference in the 'feel' than I expected!
I know the thread is getting a little old, but I was also curious about the Smoother Progress Bar, or smoother anything else for that matter! Any update on that one?

i am on a rooted german ICS rom and was wondering wether its poosible to have a transparent status bar?
I'm searching for itit too, i know it is possible but how?
I think that it is possible, but to make it happened you have to change some .png for the statusbar.
I believe it requires smali edits in systemui.apk
Sent from my GT-N7000
actually you can mod the apk file and edit the color of status bar as alpha blending = 1
this is the method the status bar is drawn as far as i recall it doesn't have PNG files for the actual background though you can define that too.

You can using a custom status bar on stock lq2 its transparent with bunch of toggles looks much better then the stock one all icons in blue with 15 toggles
I will add xda thread link if you guys interested

As mentioned before, its a smali edit. Then you can either set the status bar colour to transparent or set the drawable to look for an image. I'll post a quick tutorial when I get to my computer. Really easy to do providing you know how to (de)compile properly

Im writing this presuming you already know how to decompile ICS apk's, if not.......google is your friend
Make a backup of your systemUI just incase.
Decompile your SystemUI,
Navigate to /SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali
In StatusBar.Smali, search for this line;
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
A few lines above this change;
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]0x4[/B]
To
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]-0x3[/B]
Save the file then navigate to SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml
Look for the following line;
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[B]#ff000000[/B]</item>
Change the hex value (#ff000000) the what ever you want ((ff = 100% transparency)(000000 = black)
#00000000 - completely transparent
#7f000000 - roughly 50% translucent I think
Save the file then recompile SystemUI.apk, and then push the apk back to your phone with the correct permissions and if compile correctly you should have a transparent status bar
If something goes wrong, I'm not responsible....blah blah blah!!
Iv only done this on CM9 & AOSP/AOKP but it should work with stock/tw roms as long as they're ics.
I'm still not next to my computer so I can't remember the line of code to set the status bar as an image rather than a color, I'll post it as soon as I get home.

How do I get a background Image, Like the attached Screenshot ?

This is a quick way to remove the aggrivating Ongoing WiFi notification in the drop down menu. There may be other ways to do it via smali or xml but I have not found them yet so this will work for now.
I am including a flashable ZIP as well but it "may" cause issues if your on a custom ROM.
The Guide....
Decompile framework-res.apk
First verify these lines are not already there, if not, add the following code to res/values/drawables
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_connected">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_disabled">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_dummy">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_no_network">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_not_connected">false</item>
Remove the following .pngs from res/drawables-hdpi and drawables-xhdpi
Code:
stat_sys_wifi_connected.png
stat_sys_wifi_disabled.png
stat_sys_wifi_dummy.png
stat_sys_wifi_no_network.png
stat_sys_wifi_not_connected.png
Recompile and push to /system/framework
This is meant for a stock deodexed BLK3 Rom. Nandroid First!

Can you be more specific? Did it bootloop, get stuck on splash, or just not remove the ongoing notifications?
This is just a framework-res mod, so it should be fairly compatible with most roms, but if the rom your on has made changes to framework-res you may have complications.
I tested it on my stock BLK3 rom and it worked fine.

Just a fyi you don't have to add those lines in the xml. You can just 7 zip open the framework and delete the 5 pngs from the drawable/hdpi folder this how I've done all the jellybean leaks for everyone and causes no issues and you don't have to recompile so it's a little quicker.

This worked great for me on stock odex even. Framework-res is not an odexed file, so it should work on any "stock" unmodified framework. If used on a modded framework as the op says it will break those mods.

Thanks Man!
The way I did it was go into the WiFi settings then hit menu and then advanced. Then I proceeded to uncheck and turn off everything that would turn the WiFi back on. I'm running Jelly Bean's build 6. Hope this helps for someone that doesn't feel confident flashing or messing with decompiling.

I think everyone is confusing the ongoing wifi in pulldown with the pop up Window that scans for networks. This mod is to remove the ongoing wifi stuff that stays in the pulldown that can not be turned off unless already removed from the rom your running. The pop up Window can be disabled on any rom by going to the wifi settings and un checking notify me at the top. Hope this halfway clarifies.

+1 on just removing/renaming the png files. Works like a charm without any side effects that I've noticed.
Does anyone have the original stock framework-res.apk for jelly bean? Flashed this zip and everything was fine, but one of the only games I play does not work anymore. Thanks!
NM, just did a nandroid restore.
will try with deodexed 4.2 OTA and pos results
To anyone wondering it doesn't work with 4.1.2 VRBMB1 official stock rooted, you will get boot loops. Thank you for making this anyways though does anyone know any ways to remove the ongoing notification in VRBMB1?

I was able to rename the .png files on VRBMB1 without a problem. I adb pulled framework-res.apk, opened in 7-zip, deleted the 5 .png files, and copied the .apk back to /system/app/framework
Works just fine. Perhaps it's best to avoid decompiling/recompiling the framework. Using 7-zip is just fine.

Guys, the way i do it is just like the tutorial in the first post. Remove the PNG's and add the lines to drawable. The reason you add the lines to drawable is to retain the IDs in res/public. If you remove the PNGs then try to recompile you will get errors because there are still IDs in res/public that point to the now removed PNGs. If you try to remove the IDs from res/public then it will throw your hexidecimal ID order out of whack and will cause recompiling errors. Like the tutorial shows in the first post, by adding these lines to res/drawable
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_connected">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_disabled">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_dummy">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_no_network">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_not_connected">false</item>
you still retain the IDs in res/public but they no longer point to the PNGs you removed, they now point to the dummy's you added to res/drawable.
If you want to just open the APK with winzip or whatever and remove the PNGs thats fine too, however, if you go to make other changes that would require you to decompile/recompile you will get errors.

Guys, the way i do it is just like the tutorial in the first post. Remove the PNG's and add the lines to drawable. The reason you add the lines to drawable is to retain the IDs in res/public. If you remove the PNGs then try to recompile you will get errors because there are still IDs in res/public that point to the now removed PNGs. If you try to remove the IDs from res/public then it will throw your hexidecimal ID order out of whack and will cause recompiling errors. Like the tutorial shows in the first post, by adding these lines to res/drawable
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_connected">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_disabled">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_dummy">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_no_network">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_not_connected">false</item>
you still retain the IDs in res/public but they no longer point to the PNGs you removed, they now point to the dummy's you added to res/drawable.

I'm pretty certain you can remove the .png files using NinjaMorph.

hey, i dont know how to do that. but i can recommend that ( actually i am doing in that way)
1. find any systemui.apk that has the style what you want.
2. decompile it and go to res/values/style.xml
3. match your style.xml and your downloanded style.xml
4. try to simulate your xml to that xml .
hope this helps.
thanks bro...

don't try to change whole lines !!!
for example :
in your style.xml -- > <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.
in dowloanded style.xml --> <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
so you have to edit your line and add '' Light '' end of it. it will look like @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light
The important thing is you have to figure out what lines are related to your notification panel!!!
I am doing the same thing right now. I have couple cm11 themes and i am changing my sytles, colors, dimens according to theme's styles, colors.xml etc ..
I am using notepad++.
Just open the 2 xmls that you wanan check. Put them side by side and check the lines.
if something going wrong when your systemui get function ... you have to come back to your xml and check the line again.
The last say --> maybe you will need to change some drawble xmls and some drawble hdpi/ xhdpi/ xxhdpi files according to your dpi .
thanks again

it depends on the rom ...
i had to edit
- ic_notify_button_bg.xml
- notification_header_bg.xml
- qs_tile_background.xml
- system_bar_notification_header_bg.xml
in drawble. I am running kitkat 4.4
maybe you need to edit those xmsl as well, maybe you dont need, maybe you dont have those xmls. not sure
Okey...got it....

maybe ... it depends on the theme's color and style. For instance: you will set your notifaction panel is white and if ur text color is white then you will not be able to read/see your notification you gotta see what's hapening after editing styles ... if it's ok then no problem. if it is as my mention then you gotta edit your colors.xml ...
i hope you got the concept of the work.
you can search any tutorial for editing notification panel. All necessary steps can be found. according to those tutorials you can edit your systemui.
For instance:
In the tutorial will say let's edit this line according to that .... you have to find this line at the xml in your lewa systemui and edit according to it
good luck happy theming ...

Just making sure, but is there a difference between pixel icons and stock Android icons?
If there isn't, ViperU should have them because I distinctly remember the icons being different from HTC's. Especially the VPN icon.
decompile the system ui apk and replace the stock stat_sys images with the pixel ones
badboys rom has aosp based statusbar icons.

wow how times have changed since the m7. i thought U11 system ui would be the same.
is the xml edit a matter of changing the img reference to another folder that do have the google status images already embedded somewhere? or is it a smali edit?
with the m7 i could either do xml reference edit or overwrite image files.

Are you rooted? I have a Layer I made that works on the HTC 10 to give AOSP style signal icons. If you want to try it let me know. Basically copy it into /system/vendor/overlay and set permissions.

i don't have an U11 yet. still on the fence, but once sprint officially brings the Solar Red or Amazing Silver to their network and maybe drop the retail price down by $50-100 then i'm on the U11. i know it aint going to be $696 for long hoping by Fall/Winter they worked all the production kinks out, drop the price a little and maybe include a few extra goodies in there to entice the late adopters once sales cools off

the stock htc icons on the unlocked version are images that can be swapped...I'm sure there are several ways to accomplish the same goal, but my method adds the google xmls back to systemui (ie..google_stat_sys_signal_0.xml) then I change the resource value in HtcIcons.smali to point to those xmls, here's an example of one of the xmls...I'm not sure how the Pixel sets those icons, xml or imgs
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector android:height="17.0dip" android:width="17.0dip" android:autoMirrored="true" android:viewportWidth="24.0" android:viewportHeight="24.0"
