This will NOT change the color of your status bar. This will only add a transparent background to the drop down bar and place the Droid on the bottom right corner.
***Make sure USB Debugging is checked under Settings>Application>Development***
Here's how it's done:
1. Download & install Stericson's NinjaMorph from the Market
2. Place your desired Droid image on your SDcard and rename it to status_bar_background.png (doesn't matter where you put it)
3. Launch NinjaMorph and click tap on New Project
4. Go to /system/framework/twframework-res.apk (Files will get extracted and a backup is created automatically)
5. Go into /res/drawable-hdpi and find status_bar_background.png
6. Tap on the file and it will now ask you to find the image you want to replace it with
7. Find the file you placed on your SDcard and tap on it
8. You will get a warning asking if you're really sure you want to replace it (Tap Yes)
9. Tap on the blue arrow on the bottom right corner
10. Tap on Finish Project
11. Tap on twframework-resapk (NinjaMorph will now package/create the apk)
12. You will get a warning asking if you're sure you want to overwrite the apk (Tap Yes)
13. You will now get a warning asking if you want to zipalign (optional)
14. Tap ok on the next warning
15. Choose if you want to delete the project
Your phone should now reboot automatically and you should have your new Droid on your drop down notification bar that looks like this.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks great man, thanks for the mention. I'm about to flash now. Do you have a stock to revert?

eh I guess I can make a stock real quick...

I'm rocking the Green Android and it looks awesome. I've already shown it to a lot of the other Android Fans here at work, all are very impressed. Good job with everything man. Yeah, being able to revert is always nice rather than restoring a nandroid backup....

OP updated with revert..
im in the process of putting the finishing touches on a stock theme/template...
everything will be in it... that came stock anyway... and it will give those that want to start theming a little push in the right direction...
I will probably do a short demo of me morphing a bar from stock to crazy... start to finish

you sir are the man. If you do find time to do that, please make sure I know so I can add it to my sticky in the General section. That would help a ton, and lets be frank, the more people theming, the better for us all.

good job, this looks nice. I got the red and green

It did say the file doesn't exist so when I close it and go to existing to open the file there's nothing in it...trying to get the red one

looks great... thank you...

instructions for use:
open metamorph (MM)
click unzip extract new
(error occurs)
open MM
click pick existing
click Droid_xxx
click Droid_xxx
click Droid_xxx.xml
click close
click apply all
reboot after it finishes

When I click existing and then droid_red there are no files In it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

check with a file explorer... if you can copy it into the root/directory of the theme it will be easier to find.. you're looking for Droid_Red.xml
if its not there redownload...

Just unzip the file then move the folder to the metamorph themes folder and select existing theme and click on the xm fileand apply all.

Yeah my comp double folders everything when it zips, or MM does it unzipping... IDK, it works if you apply manually by selecting the xml file..

Yeah I think this is breaking my market app. FC after downloading an app, reverting back to stock to double check. Will keep you posted.

^ no issues here, 3 updates and 2 new apps.

Try this.. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, market, uninstall updates and Clear data
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I reverted back to original with no prevail. I did a Nandroid and market is working again. I did have the ClearBar Metamorph isntalled as well as the Segemnted Green battery status icon isntalled. Not sure if a mixture of these things was the problem or if something just went wrong the first install.
I wills say a great mod for sure, looks great!

This may sound dumb, but would I be able to use morphs like these on my Captivate?

Nice theme. Sent some donation love your way
i've been waiting for this! before i complain, i'd like to thank you, i'm such a huge fan of the stock android interface, the new blur stuff was making my eyes bleed..
is there any way i can exclude this from installing the droid 1 sms/mms app[mms.apk]? i'm using the modified sms app that comes with the epic rom and installing this theme messes seems to break it.
something to note- i used 7zip to browse through the theme zip and noticed a conversations.apk.
the interesting thing is that before installing your theme, the 'text messaging' app[conversations.apk] works.
after installing, i notice that there is an mms.apk. i used root explorer to rename it to .bak and the 'messaging' app that appeared after installing your theme disappeared.
but whenever i open 'text messaging' it just closes. no FC no error, it just closes.
Try reinstalling the conversations to apk by clicking it in root explorer. I got my terminal emulator to work when it was doing the same thing by doing that

Sure, just open the zip file and navigate to /system/app. In there you will want to delete conversations.apk
I actually didn't even notice it was different. I will add the stock conversation.apk later. Thanks for the info

Where did you see mms.apk? If you go to /system/app inside the zip file, there is no mms.apk... It must've came from whatever ROM you're using.

yea i think i may be mixed up. i have to do some testing, i'll report back.
i also noticed that putting this theme on top of the epic rom makes doubles of a couple apps.
for example, now there are two music players. when you try to open either, it asks what you'd like to complete the actoin with, 'com.android.music' or 'com.google.android.music'
i'll compile whatever errors i can find for you and report back

These themes are built for stock droid 2 after rooted and deodexed... I don't make them specific for any ROM's. If you're installing over a ROM, you're bound to run into problems.

with some slight modifications i got it working flawlessly. i ended up using the theme porter to modify the sms app included in epic's rom to be themed to the stock conversation app included in you rom.
if anyone is interested i'll post it.
I'm assuming this has the Stock D1 icons (the ones in stock android 2.0-2.2)?
Is there any way I can extract those icons and put them in another theme?
you could locate the png, extract it, replace it in the new theme.
Updated to 2.45. Also added the d1 lockscreen. Creds go to ghostlypickel for the pngs.

[MOD] White Statusbar Clock for Axura JL5

I re-coded the Services.jar in /system/framework for Axura JL5. The clock is originally black, which goes against most themes out there. I figured id post the Services.jar file here for anyone interested. THIS WILL ONLY CHANGE THE TIME CLOCK COLOR TO WHITE (top right hand corner of screen), NOTHING ELSE. This is ideal for people who are trying to theme with a black status bar.

}
Instructions:
1. Download and extract the Services.jar attached to this post
2a. Use Root Explorer to replace existing Services.jar (/system/framework), then reboot
or
2b. Place new Services.jar in the "Tools" folder in AndroidSDK, then via ADB in the command prompt, type the following commands
adb remount
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
3. Once you reboot after either method, it may take a while. Please be patient, it could take up to 5min
4. If it works, and you are satisfied, please smash the "Thanks" button.
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ONLY CONFIRMED TO WORK FOR AXURA JL5 ON THE VIBRANT, dont bother trying on any other ROMs or devices.
is this the clock for alarm clock or the time clock?
Thanks for this effort, perhaps a screen shot would be more discriptitve.

if you would like it done for another ROM, i could try....no promises though. PS - i only know the codes for white, black, and red
if you do in fact want to me try, keep in mind you have to backup your Services.jar and test the new one yourself....no offense but i dont feel like flashing back and forth between ROMs haha

oh no this is different, this has nothing to do with .xmls......but i DID also figure that out, thanks again for your help with that
yeah i had a fun time decyphering all of the services.jar... not as easy as changing all of the xml stuff.
So, any reason why changing this file would cause the phone to go into a reboot loop? That is what happened to mine...

i dont know, no one else has reported this issue......off the top of my head, did you do any of these:
1. Did not unzip the attached file before replacing services.jar
2. try to flash through clockwork?
re-read the instructions in the OP and make you followed them EXACTLY. if you did, then it should work flawlessly. If done right, thsi is not a risky mod.
The file that was unzipped somehow got truncated, so it was corrupt when I copied it over. After I restored and tried again it works.
And, I also added that file to the theme zip I use so when I applied it through clockwork it applied this file as well. Is that something that perhaps should be included in themes? <shrug>

well i dont think there is a single theme out there that has a status timeclock as the same color as the statusbar background (unless its intentional, ive seen those, in order to get rid of the clock)
the only reason i did this was because im very anal about my phone and the way it looks. Axura JL5 is the ROM of my choice, but the way i theme it has a black statusbar, so i had to change the color of the clock so i could see it. The original ROM theme had a grey statusbar, so the clock could be seen. That was the choice of Master (the ROMs developer), and we have to respect his themeing choice.

IcyBlue (THEME)

Hey guys,
I made this UoT last night in the kitchen; i have a slight ICS style theme going on so i made this to coinside with my current settings. Features and screenshots below:
-Digital battery (all #'s from 1-100) changes color about every 20%
-Sense style status bar header and footer
-Heartbeat animation background
-Loading Circles Modified to Aqua
-Download bar& Volume bar are Aqua
-Fly-in window animations
Im working on matching icons also so look for an update.
Instructions:
Download from link and place on root of external sd
Enter clockwork recovery mode ***IF YOU HAVEN"T ALREADY MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP***
Wipe Cache
Install from SD - select the UOT.zip file you downloaded from 4shared
Reboot
**********if you encounter any errors, all you need to do if go back into CWM recovery --> Backup restore --> Advanced Restore --> Restore System. you don't need to do a full restore (saves a lot of time).************
Download via 4shared link:
*"UOT-03-02-02-44-1.zip" -

There were three files replaced when you installed the zip. You would need to push the original copy of the files back to your phone.
Framework-res
SystemUI
And i think
TWframework-res
Do not recall off the top of my head if these are APK files or not, I think so. Also tw may be tzframework
Not sure why, but had some problems after flashing this. Phone booted partially up, but skipped the lock screen. I could see my Widgets trying to load, but screen kept going black. Tried to reboot, but same deal. May have been a CWM problem, not sure (using b3). Restored successfully with Nandroid.
Anyway, will try again later, but I was wondering if you could change the wifi and cell signal bars to blue as well. I hate the grey!
Thanks!

I haven't installed the theme but it does look nice. You're also the first themer (as far as I can remember) for our i717 Notes
I know it's just a beta, but a feature you want to look into is making the slide down bar transparent (I don't know the specific name, but the bar you pull down to show notifications/wifi/bluetooth/etc). I know that's a nice feature on my Nook Color.

[How To] Transparent Rosie Navbar and Lockscreen Shortcut Backgrounds [Sense 3.6]

After many flashes and dead batteries I finally figured this out and it was not fun!
Seeing it is a little out of the ordinary I wanted to share my findings for anyone else wanting this mod.
First you need the m10 tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060648
You will also need Rosie.apk for the navbar and Idlescreen_Base.apk for the lockscreen shortcut backgrounds depeding on what you are changing. These are in the system/app/ directory of the rom zip.
Open m10 tools, and select Rosie.apk.
Once decompiled, find the Rosie_navbar.m10 file.
Expand the file until you see the options shown in the screenshot below.
On the data circled in red change the opacity from "1" to "0". (you can also change it to any value in-between like 0.5 for half transparent)
Make sure you select the data how it is shown in the screenshot or else other images will disappear!!
Once done with the edits save and m10 tools will repackage Rosie.apk.
Then push the new Rosie.apk to your phone or install via a flashable zip.

}
This is essentially the same process for the lockscreen shortcut backgrounds.
Open m10 tools again, and select Idlescreen_Base.apk.
Once decompiled, find the Lockscreen_Shortcut.m10 file.
Expand the file until you see the options shown in the screenshot below.
On the data circled in red change the opacity from "1" to "0"
Make sure you select the data how it is shown in the screenshot or else other images will disappear!!
Once done save and m10 tools will repackage the apk.
Then push the new apk to your phone or install via a flashable zip.
One incase anything else comes up :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for sharing.
Same to you zhp pilot, you've been pumping out some good stuff!
I don't know if I have something personal against those images :laugh: or If its just the fact it looks so much cleaner without them.
Nice discovery
Thanks
With the screen shots this was a real easy mod to apply.
should this work for any htc phone running sense 3.6? i have an evo 3d running the "cool-ics-v10-evoc" rom and when my phone loads i get a black screen with the notification bar at the top. if i put the stock idlescreen_base.apk back in and leave the modded rosie it loads to the lock screen but when i unlock i get the white screen with the htc logo and thats as far as it goes. if someone could please help i would really like to learn how to do this...
did you fix permissions when you replaced the apks?
No I didn't. Sorry. I'm a complete noob to all this. I honestly don't know how to do that yet...

Long press the apk with the file explorer you used, assuming that's what you did. You should see an option for permissions. Make it rw-r--r--. If that's confusing then check the permissions on another apk in the system folder. Just make yours match the existing. If you didn't replace the apk via a file explorer, more info on your method would be helpful.
After making changes to the apk I saved it to my desktop. Opened the rom I was working with and replaced it there while on my computer. Then reflashed the rom to my phone. Made a copy of the rom first in case it didn't work I could easily go back to the working one... Which is what I'm using now.

Oh. Well nevermind the permissions thing then. Doing it that way would have set them correctly.

That mod only works on the rezound due the updater script. It specifically uses the mount points for the rezound.
The issue may be due tho the fact your are placing a modified apk into the rom zip. The modified one has a broken signature and/or one that doesn't match the other files. When you boot a rom for the first time, the signatures have to match. After the rom boots once, it no longer does sig checks on the system folder. I would suggest placing the modified apk into a flashable zip and flash it after the rom has booted.
Alternatively, you can adb push Rosie.apk to the phone or manually replace the file with a file explorer that has root access.
If it still doesn't work, then the problem is with the apk itself.
Well...didn't get home till late last night, had to be to work early today, so I didn't really get a chance to try everything. I did try to manually replace the apk using root explorer and after doing that and setting permissions right, pressing the home button did nothing. Pressed back button to back out of root explorer and got to a white screen. And that's it... Tried rebooting my phone, same thing, a white screen... Idk if those other options will work but I'll try when I get home today...

no prob, glad you got it working. The only other thing I was gonna toss out there was if you had signed them but i don't think that m10 tools breaks the signature anyways.

Color Gmail notifier icon request

I really did give it a try but It didn't work. I tried to change the icon from a file I pulled out of the Gingeritis Thunderbolt rom that I was using before I switched to the GN2. I just don't know enough about making these changes. Can anyone out there help?
I'd like the red and white icon to replace the plain grayish icon in the notification bar when I get new email (gmail).

I'm on Beans B5 w/ the colored Twiz 0.1 theme. If it matters.
This is a great request. Plus 1
+2 for this I would gladly donate
agree OP has made a great request
I'm running Beans stock deodexed
Does anyone at least have a link for a tutorial so I can give it another try?
sorry I can't help but I'm ready to donate if you can get it working
so what you want is that your email notification look like that?
Yes. But that opens another issue because notifications have a dark tint when you add color to them.
Please send me the .png

This is actually the image that resembles the current gmail icon used in the notification bar. With the envelope closed. I think the one with the envelope open is used in the app.

I take no responsibility for any harm that may come to your phone trying this.
You must be rooted for this to work
check out the links at the bottom on this post for ninjamorph stuff
****The new image must be the same size as the old image for this to work****
I was able to get the notification changed using ninjamorph and rootexplorer.
1. rename your image stat_notify_email.png
2. Open ninjamorph and start a new project.
3. go to data/app/com.google.android.gm-1.apk
4. When you click it, it should extract the folder.
5. On the next screen click copy it(lower right corner).
It should tell you where the copy was saved. For me it was on my phone storage in androidthemes/workspace
From there i went to rootexplorer( you could also do this part on your computer).
1. open androidthemes/workspace/com.google.android.gm-1.apk/res
2. Locate these file:
drawable-hdpi,
drawable-mdpi,
drawable-sw600dp-hdpi,
drawable-sw600dp-mdpi,
drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi,
drawable-xhdpi
3. This may just be an extra step but i went through each of these files and added .bak to the end of each original image so it looked like this: stat_notify_email.png.bak (this will keep the original as a backup in the folder).
4. Copy/paste the new image named stat_notify_email.png into each of these folders.
If you don't rename the files when you paste you will just replace the original.
5. Once you have placed the image in all the file you will go back to ninjamorph and click finish project.
6. Click the com.google.android.gm-1.apk
7. It will then create package
8. It will ask if you are sure you want to replace the .apk....click yes
9. It will ask if you want to optimize using zipalign...click yes
10. It will ask if you want to clean up/delete project...Click yes or no(up to you)
11. Once it is done, reboot phone and it should have the new notification icon but it will have a dark tint from the notification bar.
I have not done that much with ninjamorph so there probably is a shorter way to do all this.
Here are a couple links to using ninjamorph:

Hopefully this works for you.
