I always have at least one alarm set and the icon stays there useless occupying the notification space. Can we remove it? I tried to search and found this thread. But no luck.
At least with JKay's v11 theme the alarm icon looks better and doesn't hurt that much, but I am still looking for a way to get rid of the icon itself.
Search Alarm Clock in the market and try one of the 3rd party alarm clock apps. Some of them allows you to remove the notification icon. The one I'm using is Caynax Alarm Clock, but it's only because I like the widget. Caynax also allows disabling the notification icon.

That could be one option. Thanks for that.
However I would still wait for a solution with the stock one.
If the smali edits in the other thread don't work, then probably the easiest way is to replace the alarm icon with a blank (transparent) .png file.
All of the icons are in the framework-res.apk file. I took a quick look and I think the icon is ic_lock_idle_alarm.png, under res/drawable-hdpi.
For replacing png files, you just need to open up framework-res.apk with a zip program (e.g. 7zip) and replace the png, no need to use apktool.

Thanks. This is could be another option. But I guess the invisible icon would still occupy the same amount of space.
JKay's 13.1 Settings now has an option for this. Just what I wanted. Many thanks JKay.

I would like to take the icons from my Vibrant and use them on the LauncherPro Dock of my other phones.
Where can I find (for example) the Dialer icon... just the basic green dialer. My nexus has a clear/very little color icon, and I was not able to find our icon on some sites by googling...
Thanks.
bump, id like to hear the answer to this myself.

All of the system icons are located inside the .apk for the various system apps. For example, the Dialer is DialerTabActivity.apk in system/app/. If you open DialerTabActivity.apk in Root Explorer or WinRAR and look in /res/drawable-hdpi, you will find an image file named ic_launcher_phone.png. If I am understanding you correctly, that is the icon you are looking for.
Each icon would be located in a separate .apk for that particular application.
So I'd really like to have the middle 'soft-key' that pops up the b&n popup menu remapped to open the zeam app drawer instead. Is this something that is possible with an easy fix? I am fairly adept with adb, know the basics on how to use setprop and sqlite3 to change simple settings but don't know where to start on this. Any help?
I'd like to remap both that button and the "last book" button to "back" and "menu".
Dude can you please tell me what clock that is and if possible post a apk for it also the weather and if its any different the battery. Actually all the apk's for me to get the exact same home screen would be great.
Clock on top is called simi clock. I believe the weather is using beautiful widgets.

It's
gTabSimiClock (Clock 3x1 with Date Text size 20)
PalmarySoft Weather (Weather Quarte)
BattStatt (Battery Small)
Also not sure if you want\need them but there is also
SetCPU Widget
adbWireless Widget
If you need those let me know and I'll up them too
FYI....the little status bar at the bottom should be controlled by framework-res.apk in /system/framework.
On other android devices, that is where these ui elements are located.

Yup, it's in there.
Unpack framework-res.apk and the images in question are:
framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi/stat_arrow_down.png
framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi/stat_arrow_up.png
The stock NC boot animation is also there at:
framework-res/assets/images/nookcol_512/
And I believe the 'n' image that appears on the slider to wake the nook up is:
framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi/ic_jog_dial_unlock.png
The next question is would it be possible to alter and repack this apk? I'm guessing not since we can't sign it with B&N's cert.
Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
Hello..is there a way to edit the notification toggles and add a program to launch at one of the toggles?either by removing one toggle or by adding one new toggle..

It's possible but it can't be done by non developpers. I mean, you have to configure theme settings in android files to do what you want.
Anyway there are available themes on xda that add some functionality to the status toggles, you could look around. For example, the theme I'm using has 9 toggles on the status bar.
EDIT: I found this app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
It doesn't change the toggles that come in the notification bar (as I said you have to mess with android files for this) but it can make launcher's in the notiications panel. It looks pretty cool, maybe you should try it.
dear s advance users,
does any one know to modify the app drawer shortcut on the stock ddulp8 jellybean(i think its natureUX) ?
actually i wanted it in the center ie, if i have five icons on the dock i need the app drawer shortcut in the center (like the one in the first attachment)
and
also does anyone know how to change the app drawer shortcut icon(is it by modifying the systemUI.apk??)
i like apex launchers app drawer icon as seen in the first attachment
any ideas mate?
SystemUI is notification bar.You should edit SecLauncher.apk (Touchwiz's launcher) for it.
so how do i eit seclauncher so that i can reposition the app drawer shortcut?
and for changing the icon can i change the png after unzipping the apk and re- zip it ?

No, probably you should decompile the apk.
