[Theme] willverduzco's PURE Blackbar for CM 6.1.1 *XML Color Import!* - Now with "4G"
[About]
My goal with this was to create a bar that is PURE BLACK, unlike the gradient bar in HTC Sense, while retaining much of Sense UI's style. As such, this MORPH is heavily based on the HTC Desire Notification Bar. To my eyes, the Sense UI gradient is simply too close to black to look intentional, yet not close enough to look good. It sort of reminds me of an LCD with a back-light leakage problem. Additionally, I created a new, more streamlined notification drawer pull-down image.
This theme has THREE versions: A version with white notifications (classic edition), a version with black notifications (zip file ending with _BN), and a "Faux G" version with black notifications (zip file ending with _BN-4G).
This MORPH is intended for CyanogenMod 6 and beyond. However, it should work with almost every other HDPI ROM, assuming that you have a way to change the status bar and notification text color to white.

[Installation Instructions]
1. Download and install the latest version of MetaMorph (by Stericson) from the Market.
2. Turn on USB Debugging under the Android Settings -> Applications -> Development Menu.
3. Open MetaMorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme."
4. Select the appropriate version of my theme, click "Apply All," and reboot when prompted.
5. Change your carrier, clock, date, and notifications colors. (See below for instructions.)
[Changing Text Color Automatically - BN and BN-4G only for now]
-CM6.1 and beyond: Unzip Notifications_XML-FOR_CM6.1.zip and put the CMTheme folder on the root of your SDCard. Import the colors through the following: Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extra -> Select A Theme
-CM6: Unzip Notifications_XML-FOR_BN.zip and put cmparts_ui.xml on the root of your SDCard. Import the colors through the following: Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extra -> Import Colors from XML
[Changing the Text Color Manually - All ROMs]
BLACK ongoing notifications bar version
1. Navigate to Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Status Bar Customization.
2. Change the following fields to white (#ffffffff): Battery Percentage, Clock, Carrier PLMN Label, Carrier SPN Label, Notifications Ticker, Notifications Count, Items Title Color, Items Text Color, and Items Time Color.
3. Change the following to black (#ff000000): No Notifications Title, Clear Notification Label, Ongoing Notifications Title, Latest Notifications Title.
WHITE ongoing notifications bar version
1. Navigate to Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Status Bar Customization.
2. Change the following fields to white (#ffffffff): Battery Percentage, Clock, Carrier PLMN Label, Carrier SPN Label, Notifications Ticker, Notifications Count, No Notifications Title, Ongoing Notifications Title, Latest Notifications Title.
3. Change the following to black (#ff000000): Clear Notification Label, Items Title Color, Items Text Color, and Items Time Color.
[Changelog]
Classic (White Notifications) Edition
-None
Black Notifications Edition
1.2 - Discovered when looking in low light that the PNG incorporated in v1.1 wasn't truly 100% black. I replaced the PNG with a new one with RGB values of 0,0,0.
1.1 - Incorporated Eddiemc's changes for dark Notification Panels.
[Known Issues]
Classic (White Notifications) Edition
-None
Black Notifications Edition
-A very small percentage of applications employ their own methods of coloring their ongoing notification text. This cannot be changed with something like Cyanogenmod settings. This is no longer a bit issue because CM6 RC3 and beyond include a version of MusicMod that uses the system-wide notification text color.
[Future]
Classic (White Notifications) Edition
-None. This seems complete unless someone wants different icons.
Black Notifications Edition
-Look for a way to force all notification text to be white, even for troublesome apps.
[Troubleshooting]
-Morph stuck at "Applying" indefinitely? Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
-Morph only applied to part of the bar and looks bad? Make sure you have custom notification and pulldown bars disabled. (CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Notification Colors and disable Custom Notification and Pulldown bars.) Also, if you're on CM 6.1+, go to CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extras -> Select a Theme and pick Stock. Reboot then reapply the theme.
-The latest version of MetaMorph works again. If you have issues applying the theme, and you have already made sure USB debugging was enabled, try the version of MetaMorph that I have uploaded as an attachment.

Credit: Thank you very much XebozZ for creating a wonderful base from which I created this Morph, Eddiemc for helping make the first _BN version, and obviously Cyanogen for pumping out CM6 RC!
Applied and it works great! Thanks man!
This is awesome, 5 stars. Thanks man. Pure black >>>> Desire grey IMO, and is great for showing off the great black levels of the AMOLED. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. I've tried myself and failed.
It would also be cool if the pulldown notifiations are also black/dark with white font, I guess with the standard colors inverted. I think it's tricky it needs to be configured on an app level (I think, but am not sure). Anyways, if there's a toggle between standard/inverse color, that would also kick much ass.
Can you make an enomther version please?

Thanks. This is very nice indeed.
Thanks for the comments guys, and I'm really glad it works to your liking! And yeap, denimjunkie82. Precisely why I did it! Black looks so good on AMOLEDs!

I'll gladly see what I can do, but unfortunately I'm actually unfamiliar with Enomther's ROMs. Could you please tell me if his ROM has a settings panel inside his ROM, in which you can enter the aRGB values for notification colors (or does his ROM let you import SpareParts XML files like CyanogenMod does)? If so, this MORPH should work with minimal or no changes. If it doesn't have that option, I'm going to have to find out a way to change the text colors first.

Nope, as easy as walking, on cm6
Swap "status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png" in framework res to one that's black instead of white, and change text to white in CM settings.
Works on all app notifications, I'm using it myself. Black's nicer than white!
-e
edit... throw the png file into the framework res folder of the original morph, or just use the modified version attached (hope the op doesn't mind..)
Then change item notifications color in cm settings to white (#ffffffff)

Of course I don't mind. It saved me from figuring out the filename myself, which is much appreciated, so thank you very much for your contribution!
Appropriately, I have added your name in the _BN Morph, and in the original post.
I love it! I've always wanted to change that color. It works great thanks.
Can anyone verify the white text on black bars works on the Music app and Quick Settings? I've tried various morphs a few months ago and these apps leave black text in the Notifications panel no matter what, but that was before the Spare Parts method in Cyan 508-600RC.

First issue found... I've added it into the main post. Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, the spare parts method doesn't seem to change the music player text. A decent alternative would be to use the classic version with the black text and white ongoing notifications menu, as the text would appear as normal. I believe that these apps must be using some code on a per-app level that does this, as there simply isn't another field that I could see modified. This reason why they did this is likely because it has two slightly different colors (a black and a grey) in that notification.
Hopefully someone knows how to change the music player's text in the notification bar.
Here is a picture of the issue:
EDIT: Looks like it's true. It's probably part of the app itself.
In all honesty, though, this is a very minor issue, and if you don't know what song you're playing through the media player from your own music library, there may be another problem, haha. That said, I will see if anyone has come up with a real solution. I don't want to tell you to hold your phone a different way, haha. Oh wait, that's another company.
Awesome notification bar!
I'd like the gradient on the notification bar itself, with a gradient on the pull down notification. I somehow managed to mix this Metamorph, with another and got what I wanted (by mistake!).
If it's not too much trouble, could I get a .zip file (exactly like the you uploaded) but with a gradient (like the desired) notification bar?
looks good ima trying it out now what i been looking for

Notifications on black:
Yea, I just noticed this just now. As op states above, music app doesn't work properly.
I'm using spotify, so I never checked the music app... (btw spotify get white text as it should)
Quick Settings actually has an embedded option to change the text color (normal: white, inverted: black) so so that's no problem
All other apps I've seen works well (gets white text).
On cm6 we are all using the modded music app by Eliot Stocker, so I reckon he should be able to add an option to invert text (like quicksettings) if some of us asks him.
-e
edit....
If someone (op *hint hint*) want to ask him about notification color invert: http://twitter.com/eliotstocker
edit2...
For the more hardcore ones, adb pull the music app, change the xml settings for notification color in Music.apk\res\layout\statusbar.xml (this is beyond me atm, but I might give it a stab) adb push the app back, and voila you'll have white text
edit3...
I pass.
Here are the files if someone can pull this off. As far as I know, due to the way android works, the xml file needs to be hex edited.. I just cannot work out where the changes needs to be
edit4...
Even though I don't use the music app, this issue really bugs me..
If we can get the xml file changed, it can even be included in the morph (or as a seperate morph) so nobody has to adb.
I just posted in eliots thread about the settings option, so perhaps that works out, if not I'll ask his permission to pm around a bit to find someone who can edit the xml.
Now I'll stop editing this post
Is it possible to have an update.zip version of the Black Ongoing Notifications (new _BN version) please.
Don't like to isntall metamorph to install theme.
Black is really beautiful
Thanks.

Wow, good job. I don't use CM myself but I know a lot of people will appreciate this.
Just a quick status update to let everyone know that the issue will be fixed soon.
Eliot Stocker, who wrote the music app in CM6 just got back to me saying that he would add the feature into the next release. Thanks for the twitter link Eddiemc, and thank you again for all of your help!

Glad you like it. Actually, if you want a bar with gradients, though, you should check out XebozZ's gradient bar. He did a great job with that. My goal with this one was to not have a gradient so that it shows off the wonderful AMOLED blacks that we have!

Just try to push framework-res.apk copy all file in it and pull back but after a reboot launcherpro loop and woon't run so i was oblige to wipe my device.
I forgot to make Nandroid backup under Amon_RA
Now after a new reboot i have a fresh CM6 with black notification bar but text are all black i'll try to change theme manually in CM6 custom option menu.
BTW thanks.
Applied, it is a very nice bar. Thanks!
edit - spelling
I figured out how to make my notification bar transparent, as well as the drag-down bar and status header bar. did it by pulling framework-res.apk, opened with 7-zip, edited the files from within 7-zip (didnt extract them at all), saved the changes, closed up and pushed the framework back to the phone. upon bootup however, once i unlocked the phone i got blasted with a stampede of FCs, all standard google apps and services that run on startup. even after pushing the stock, unchanged framework back, FCs continue. anyone know whats happening?
I think you need to edit the services.Jar file as well

try a fix permissions maybe?
what rom?
im on the stock 8/1 2.2 leak. i figured out a temporary fix, i just modified the files in the smooth sense icons update zip since im using that on my phone, and did the update in recovery that way. it worked, but the only mod that worked was to the notification bar itself, not the drop-down bar or the header, so a services.jar edit is necessary to. which sucks because i dont know how to edit jar files or even navigate them to find what i need to edit lol. im gonna try to combine the smooth icons framework with the services.jar from the 50% shade backgroung update.zip and see how that runs. ill at least have a transparent status background/notification bar. i'll just have to learn java language and figure out the .jar setups on these phones myself and try editing then. i'll get back to you guys in a month
Have you checked out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744256 , which includes which lines to modify in the services.jar as well as the file to make transparent for the drop down?
Need to merge these two into one...
Heck - I'm very tempt to give it a try - i want mostly transparent top bar with 'frosted' icons - basically so if using default launcher pro, the top and bottom of the home screen match.
Plus, with that setup, it will open up a lot of the screen real estate.

yea i have the combined smooth sense icons and 50% shaded status background. i modded it to have a transparent top status bar, but the actual pull down bar itself (the one that materializes when you drag down your status bar) is services.jar related, im guessing, because i edited that in the framework and it didnt affect it. same with the status header, where it says Verizon Wireless.
after modding the status bar though, i was reminded that the individual icons had there own blackish square backgrounds that need to be eliminated, so im gonna be working on those hopefully today (gonna take FOREVER). when all is finished i'll post up screenshots and find out what everyone thinks, then possibly post up a zip of my own (with permission from jercick who did the smooth icons and whoever did the 50% shade) containing these mods.
I've installed/customized a theme exactly as I want with Black status bar, and black pulldown background with white text. I properly Deodexed and used the compatible services.jar, however, the following events still show up with black text in the dropdown list:
-In-Call timer status
-Download Progress
-Any item that is an event in progress
I've tried 4 different services.jar and all of them had the same problem, I tried editing the status bar XML files, only to have the phone refuse to load.
I notice 90% of themes leave the dropdown tabs gray, and I assume this is the reason, but does anyone have the files necessary to make all text in the dropdown white?
If you want to attach your framework-res.apk I can give this a go. I'm pretty sure this is in the /res/layout/status_bar_latest_notification.xml file or something titled similiarly.
Anyways.... I can give you some help if wanted...
I've attached my framework-res.apk, let me know what you can do. Thank You!
No problem. I will give this a go after work.

In looking at your framework...is this the current framework that you thought SHOULD have the white text? Or a unmodified framework. In looking at it...it looks like the text should be white... At least from what theming I have done... You have white (ffffff) set in the correct places for the dropdown notification bar in /res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.
What ROM/theme are you using? Also are you on the 2.3.34 update? i'm still on 2.3.15... So I don't want to throw a framework on my phone that may cause issues =?
If you can give me some more info... I was digging through it tonight.
Thanks
I am using the 2.3.340 firmware, standard rom but rooted and deodexed.
I used that exact framework with 2.3.15 with the same issue. My theme is nearly perfect except for that, so it's kind of annoying.
Hm... I'll keep looking over it. So this current framework SHOULD have white text but didn't?
Try also looking at the styles.xml and colors.xml in the /res/layout folder. I.m winning if things need to match up and something in one of those files is overwriting your white color

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the services.jar hold the information to change the colors in the drop down events?

I'm pretty sure it just controls color for the clock, ticker, and the "titles" for the sections in the drop-down such as "latest" or "ongoing". It doesn't actually change the text color of notifications in the drop down.
Can u help me too
I had this issue with derezzed too, a lot of ongoing event text colors are controlled by each individual application (something I saw with dropbox and facebook uploads) so the options are to either customize each application as you get it, ignore the unreadable text, or simply change the .png to a different color that provides a similar feel while being able to read black text... or another artsy thing would be to use rounded corners to make each notification look like an individual bubble instead of a continuous pane
edit:
totally didnt see how old this post was... oops
Please note I am not responsible for anything bad happening to your device in case you mess something up. I have done everything written in this thread myself. But if you do not recompile the APK properly you might have to restore. So backup first.
I have made some modifications in my SystemUI and I am posting them here in case any of you might want those as well.
1. Remove S-Finder Bar from Notification Panel
Although I have seen another post on how to do that, but that method does not work right, the notification panel animation gets messed up that way.
To remove S-Finder Bar,
Simply go to system/build.prop and change
ro.product.name=xxx
to
ro.product.name=vzw
and thats it. Just restart and it will be gone.
As a side effect you will get permanent data icon even when using wifi. But it can be fixed if you want to.
Decompile SystemUI.apk and change the following files in res/drawable-xxhdpi to 1x1 transparent pngs.
i) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_disabled
ii) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_connected_disabled
And thats it. Recompile the APK and push into the system.
Now you have S Finder Bar gone with no side effect data icon.
2. Make the Recent Apps background fully transparent.
To do this, you need to go to res/values/colors.xml and look for the following line
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">
and put the following value there instead of the one written there
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">#33000000</color>
I have it set to nearly full transparent just like stock android but you can change it if you want.
Now to make the buttons background transparent as well go to drawables.xml in the same folder and look for the line
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">
change its value to
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">#00000000</item>
and recompile/push into system and you are done.
3. Change the color of default Black status bar.
The entire look of lollipop is white and majority of non material design apps are white as well, so I have changed the default color of my status bar to grey instead of black. It matches well with legacy apps like root explorer as I use the white theme. Plus it looks amazing with Chrome.
To change the color of the status bar to your liking go to res/values/colors.xml in decompiled SystemUI and look for
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">
now the value in this line can be changed to the hex color of your choice.
If you want to set it the same as the one in screenshot. Change it to
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">#ff9a9a9a</color>
4. To make the clock center
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ide-lollipop-clock-center-status-bar-t2989179
5. To Clear the space taken by Clear All Button in notification center (Thanks to tkari4)
When you pull down notification center there is wasted space on bottom taken by clear all button specially in Landscape mode.
you can attain that space.
NOTE: Clear all button will still work but there will be no text. You just press in the space of clear button and it will clear all.
open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and set these to 0.0dip
<dimen name="close_handle_height">34.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="close_handle_underlap">34.0dip</dimen>
recompile and push in system
I have also hidden the Semi Transparent Status Bar in stock launcher and made it fully transparent. I can post it too if someone wants that.
I have also changed status bar icons to stock lollipop and modified the lockscreen to look like stock lollipop.
Reply if you want any of those.

Please note I am not responsible for anything bad happening to your device in case you mess something up. I have done everything written in this thread myself. But if you do not recompile the APK properly you might have to restore. So backup first.
I have made some modifications in my SystemUI and I am posting them here in case any of you might want those as well.
1. Remove S-Finder Bar from Notification Panel
Although I have seen another post on how to do that, but that method does not work right, the notification panel animation gets messed up that way.
To remove S-Finder Bar,
Simply go to system/build.prop and change
ro.product.name=xxx
to
ro.product.name=vzw
and thats it. Just restart and it will be gone.
As a side effect you will get permanent data icon even when using wifi. But it can be fixed if you want to.
Decompile SystemUI.apk and change the following files in res/drawable-xxhdpi to 1x1 transparent pngs.
i) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_disabled
ii) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_connected_disabled
And thats it. Recompile the APK and push into the system.
Now you have S Finder Bar gone with no side effect data icon.
2. Make the Recent Apps background fully transparent.
To do this, you need to go to res/values/colors.xml and look for the following line
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">
and put the following value there instead of the one written there
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">#33000000</color>
I have it set to nearly full transparent just like stock android but you can change it if you want.
Now to make the buttons background transparent as well go to drawables.xml in the same folder and look for the line
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">
change its value to
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">#00000000</item>
and recompile/push into system and you are done.
3. Change the color of default Black status bar.
The entire look of lollipop is white and majority of non material design apps are white as well, so I have changed the default color of my status bar to grey instead of black. It matches well with legacy apps like root explorer as I use the white theme. Plus it looks amazing with Chrome.
To change the color of the status bar to your liking go to res/values/colors.xml in decompiled SystemUI and look for
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">
now the value in this line can be changed to the hex color of your choice.
If you want to set it the same as the one in screenshot. Change it to
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">#ff9a9a9a</color>
4. To make the clock center

5. To Clear the space taken by Clear All Button in notification center (Thanks to tkari4)
When you pull down notification center there is wasted space on bottom taken by clear all button specially in Landscape mode.
you can attain that space.
NOTE: Clear all button will still work but there will be no text. You just press in the space of clear button and it will clear all.
open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and set these to 0.0dip
<dimen name="close_handle_height">34.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="close_handle_underlap">34.0dip</dimen>
recompile and push in system
I have also hidden the Semi Transparent Status Bar in stock launcher and made it fully transparent. I can post it too if someone wants that.
I have also changed status bar icons to stock lollipop and modified the lockscreen to look like stock lollipop.
Reply if you want any of those.
I am here to help further if needed.

For Stock-Rooted Only.
I don't have this phone but this worked on my Pixel 7 though these are made from Pixel 7 Pro system files.
The purpose of this installer is to generate a custom module that can be flashed in Magisk App. It will have all the mods that were selected from the installer menu. You need to be stock with root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so. This will only happen once.
I internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors. The colored statusbar icons should.
After Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a second it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again. If that is too much for you, don't use this mod. This also will not work with the bootloop protection module. It will disable this module.
This mod uses the SystemUI Patcher Module Template by @Jai_08 By @cool_modules on telegram
Root required
ADB Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. ADB debugging Enabled
3. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Shell Root Permissions. If missed on first opportunity, turn on in Magisk App superuser)
4. Flash the SystemUI Base First. It provides the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Finish building Module" at the bottom of the menu. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.
7. Flash the "mymagisk.zip" in Magisk App.
This mod also installs a QS and settings background overlay option under settings/Display/Device Theme. There are a few QS tile color options with an option to change the settings background to black.
This is firmware specific. If a Pixel firmware update changes either the SystemUIGoogle.apk or Framework-res.apk, this mod will need to be updated. Uninstall this module before updating your phone.
As with anything else you flash on your phone, you run the risk of a bootloop. This might not be compatible with some other modules. Flash at your own risk.

I'm also including this separate Pixel Launcher mod. Also a ADB Installer. Made from Pixel 7 Pixel launcher but will probably still work. You can change app drawer background-text color (separately for light mode and dark mode), remove Google search bar from the homescreen and all-Apps drawer. Change the number of hot seat icons on home page (and size) as well as change the number of columns in the app drawer.
Instructions are the same as above...Install base, pick options, complete installation. Mymagisklauncher.zip will be in ozop folder.
Remove Google Search Bar
App Drawer background color (Light and Dark Mode)
App Drawer Text Color
Home screen App Text Color
App Icon Sizes 45-50-56 dip (56 is stock)
Hotseat 5-6-7 Icons
Columns (5-6-7)
Rows (5 through 11)

Wow! I believe this is the only way to get rid of the search bar and it worked! Strangely enough, transparent app drawer did not work.

Seems to have worked on my Pixel 7.... maybe because the last one was made from February update. Try this one.

Hi @Tulsadiver , is it possible to add animations like in your previous mod maker?
How does the launcher module function with the phone when the launcher is updated?
Will it merely not work, or will it have the potential to cause launcher crashes?

Not at this time. Modification to the framework-res.apk resources.arsc causes bootloop.

Like most mods, it would need to be updated if it were to change. I personally, always have Nova installed and it would default to it.
Just tried with everything done right with the may zip for may FW. Unfortunately my system hasn't changed anything with the options I've chosen. Will tinker a bit to see what happened.

Could you upload the mymagisk.zip from your ozop folder so I can get a look at it?
Edit: do you have the bootloop protector magisk mod installed?
