Lol that thread I linked you too is my other thread and how it currently looks now. I want to change that black statusbar.
Did quite a bit of searching before i finally gave in.
Normally i almost religiously back up everything...this time i did not...obviously...or i would be reflashing and simply reinstalling
now i did not brick my Samsung vitality, I am not that stupid...however i did try out metamorph being bored...and its really a small issue but something i cant for the life of me get rid of...
on the swipe down notifications bar the stock battery color is green...well mine is blue...and currently the text in the notification area...is dark grey on black...so i have to tilt the phone to see anything.
anybody have any ideas on how i can fix this? or have just a basic stock rom for the samsung vitality.
there should be a notification bar color changer metamorph file for your phone
maybe even a text color changer
yeah its the text thats killing me, here sec lemme get a photo of it.
picture added its the black text on daaaark grey background, i just need to figure out how to change that text color to white
edit 2 picture is in edit box. wont let me post it otherwise.
fixed it, i think it was an issue with the framework not installing before a reset on metamorph, thanks for the assistance
Hey, so the notification text colour in the 'drawer' is black, on a dark grey background which makes it almost impossible to read for mst things (downloads etc)
Is there any way to change this? I'd like to change the colour to white or somethng
Thanks in advance!
U can play with UOT kitchen, but several things seem not to work for our stock rom (window animation/lock screens/notification power buttons) It's easy and doesn't harm to try though.
go to uot.dakra.lt/
Thanks for the link, I tried out just changing the notification drawer, but although most of the edit worked, I lost the drawer transparency :/
More experimentation required! (I'll post back here if I have success)
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'm assuming this wont work if we use xposed right? I'm on your 5.3 with xposed framework and the changes dont stick. Ill try it again on clean install without xposed

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.

I just wanted to create this thread to see if other people would like this change or any developers would possibly be able to make it a reality.
Basically I love to get as much battery life as possible as we all know it sucks on the s6 so on every 5.1.1 rom I used I always had power save mode enabled however in 6.0.1 the status bar has changed to grey and personally I do not like this.
Please share your thoughts

that is google's move actually. in nexus it changes to orange. maybe they want us to stop using battery saver because it won't save battery a lot and we lose lots of performance. So they change status bar to grey to remind us this is a power saving mode. don't use it always.
we need an optimized software + bigger battery for a better battery life. battery saver won't help a lot.
So I suggest you stop using it. 5% more battery life on power saver won't worth the performance drop

I've spent the last few days trying to understand why the bar was grey on my stock rooted DPAD ROM. I thought it was because I uninstalled the launcher and about 100 more apps. I reflashed the ROM twice using ODIN, and it was fine at first, then after installing, uninstalling apps and changing the settings it would turn grey. I didn't understand what made it change. This morning I saw that turning on Power Saving was the cause, and then I found your topic. Yes, it's horrible. It's even worse that there's no longer a switch for turning the Back and Recents button LEDs off.
However, if you're rooted and using Xposed, GravityBox will fix it, fortunately. I just tried it, and it gets rid of the grey overlay on the status bar, but there's a minor issue: if you're in an app with a white action bar, the icons and clock won't invert color, so they'll be white on white.
