Currently runming Criskelo ROM v30 and I was wondering if there was a custom signal bar app out there? I know there is already several signal bar mods available, but I'm looking for a 5 segment bar style in green. One that looks exactly like the one that cones stock on Criskelo. If anybody knows of one, or could make one, that would be great.
I just realized I put this thread in the wrong section. Mods, please move to themes section. Thanks!

Thanks. Going to check it out now.

I checked the Kitchen, but there is no support for Ciskelo ROM , or an option to create a signal meter.

For the UOT Kitchen, it doesn't matter what rom it says it supports. Upload the apk's and yes signal bar support exists in it. Rather clearly actually.
I didn't see anything for signal bars, but I'll check again.
ROM Kitchen features does not list amything about signal bars. Nor was I able to find it anywhere in the Kitchen toolkit. Every other feature is "rather clearly" available. :eyeroll:
Go to the kitchen, select icons, preview the icon sets until you find one with a signal bar that you like. Deselect all the other icons. Cook, download and flash.
Edit: Color pack v8 animated probably has what you are looking for.
When it comes to the kitchen you need to spend some time looking around. It has a lot of options that are sub-sections of other options. The best way to figure out what you can do is poke around.

I just rooted and I'm running on stock. I would love to change my notification bar. Could someone explain it in detail for me. Is there a way to do it without flashing another ROM? Im planning on flashing liberty soon though. Im a noob so any descriptive help would be awesome!
Sent from my Rooted DROID2
nope, you have to flash it but its not hard...
you can use metamorph, this is what i did because i just never got around to installing a rom. I did this on my droid 2 (rooted) stock rom
This is the site i found the notification bars on, but i dont know how to change the clock, so i have a black bar and a black clock, which i dont mind to much, but it might bother you
droidpirate DOT com/category/metamorph-2/notifications-metamorph-2/
EDIT: that site also contains other morphs for things like battery skin, gps, signal... so on
remember to ALWAYS make a nandroid backup incase things dont work out as planned
Sorry wrong thread

Could you please run me through the process of using metamorph? I tried doing some research but wasn't satisfied enough to try. Do I just place say the notification bar theme in the android themes folder open metamorph and then new project, find the bar zip and click it? I hope it's that easy! Also have you run into any problems?

I will have a revert file up soon. Just wondering, what did you not like about this theme? Is there any thing that I can work on to make it better for you guys?

Awesome
But I'm personally a red-colored guy, and this orange theme is closest to red, so I think I might like this. I'm not nearly dedicated enough to make it myself, this should be pretty good though I'll report back after I flash it, probably tomorrow. Still at school now

Reverts are just useful, has nothing to do with disliking the theme.
This is a great theme. Very nice shade of orange.
-I really like the pull down notification bar: perfect tinting and crisply colored icons.
-The circle on the pulldown looks a little pixelated. I'm a big fan of CM7's "Basic Orange" pulldown with 3 crisp lines.

-There might be a little too much orange on the top status bar: I like orange icons, but the time and the date should just remain a light grey.
- The Wifi icon also has a pixelated look to it when it's not at full signal-- it makes it look a little cartoony, as if it's bold or something.
- menu button pop up on the main screen has a very nice crisp orange line along the top. This is really slick. I like it.
-Themed settings icons are very nice
-Orange 'g' on the google search bar looks a little goofy. I'd leave this unthemed. Although it's a moot point with the updated search bar...
-The one thing I really don't like is that the settings sections of many apps have buttons that are turned completely orange and this rarely looks good. Even the orange checkboxes look bad more often than good in this fashion. I recommend turning this off unless people really like it. A good orange theme can be nuanced.
This orange theme is one of the best considering it doesn't try to go nuts turning all the app icons orange.
Thanks for the feedback. This is helping me alot for the next release. It is ALOT better than the older versions and is way more discrete. I hope to have it out by sometime tomorrow.

Sorry. Stupid typo in the version that I uploaded. Problem is fixed now. Thanks for telling me.

Update fixed the overly orange boxes and checkboxes within apps.
However, there are two things I miss:
1. the crisp orange outline of the menu screen when on the homepage and pressing menu (using ADW or launcherpro).
2. Also the orange wifi and signal bars, bluetooth icon. The orange was good here but it just looked cartoony at some points but great when full bars. Can you add these back?
The new notification pulldown handle with orange rectangle is better than the pixelated circle, but what do you think about doing 3 crisp glowing lines like basic orange?
Or what about a glowing rectangle outline-- that might be pretty cool. Let me know what you think.

I was looking to themeing the status bar icons again, but it will take a while until I find a good batch image editor. And in the next update, I will change the notification pulldown handle again.

Cool I would like that. Btw I really like this theme. Just one question, could I have to stock messaging app? I would like to have this option to change back to?

I'm on the quarx 2.16 nightly and was wondering if there's a theme out there that just makes the standard system theme have a transparent status bar (and maybe notification pull down too?)
I tried Orion theme, but don't like the miui style notification area. Is there a way to only use the status bar, but noneof the other mods (like icons, skinned dialer, etc.)?
I kinda like the simple system theme.
Thanks

Simply put no! Downloading a custom Rom is the only option @ this time.

GoLauncherEx have that option, and it's a very nice launcher.
I don't know if there is a theme that does that, :/
Quarx added that feature to his nightlies, and the Orion theme and others w/ transparent status bars work. I'm just wondering if there's a theme out there that has the transparency, but not too many other drastic changes to the look and feel.

I'm pretty sure that a quick search on xda would have bring you some answers on this...but anyway..Read the second post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448310
It might look long and complicated but itsn't so; it only takes 3-4 minutes to do after you've done it once...
On the first post there I even gave a transparent theme that I've moded.
Read all: pretty much every themes for cm7 can be made transparent but not every launchers support them and they might also require additional quick settings.

Thanks,
I had read that post, but i didn't make it allthe way to the bottom, where i guess the answer i'm looking for is located. sorry. I guess I stopped reading, becasue i tought it would only work on the nightly you mentioned in the post. I was glad Quarx included the ability to have a transparent status bar, so i wasn't sure if changing all those files would be necessary.
I guess I'll get to work, figuring out which combo makes a good semi-transparent status bar. I wish there was a setting to control that (and notification area also?)
Yet another project making me step deeper into the world of Android. To think that when i got my defy (my first and only smartphone) i had no intention of rooting or anything. I guess that's what happens when the phone doesn't work well to begin w/
You can have a look here to get an idea on what to expect.
You know that an apk is basically a zip file right? So you could also get the 4 files with modified opacity (transparency) from my theme there and replace them in the SystemUI.apk of the nightly build you are using.
The only 'tricky' part in all this is to replace that SystemUI.apk on the system once those files are changed [and that you've used baksmali/smali to edit that 1 line in the statusbar.service file]. But really not a big deal with Terminal if you follow my instructions.
Lastly, I'd also suggest you to try Maniac103's latest nightly (Feb20th) because he fixed quite a few things lately and [to save you some work] I've already gave a CWM zip patch with transparency for it here - but read on there, I included 1 or 2 additional things in it like a different font... If just you just want transparency; you can pull the SystemUI.apk from the patch and use Terminal again to replace it on your phone.
EDIT: sorry! I just remembered that the patch doesn't contain those 4 modded png; only the one line change. So my theme would have transparency but not CM7 themes or others [without changing png anyway].
Anyhow: such a long answer...but if all that helped you in anyway -which I hope-, you can click that "Thanks" button
Cheers.
Im running DaGr8 rc6.2. I am trying to change the icons like clock, wifi, 4gLTE, etc. to blue ics icons. Could someone show me which I can safely install/flash running in 180dpi tablet mod. I found few (although not ics blue) but was scared to try because I read flashing incompatible theme(?) can result in wipe and reflash rom. I can't afford to lose my settings and start over. I have made nandroid backup but last time I tried restore (on Saurom back to earlier version of Saurom) I had trouble did notwork. Anyways if anyone can post a link that'd be great. Thanks!

Ok yesterday I installed about 6 roms we have for the i717 that are somewhat new(4.1.2)
The roms i'm looking for i want them to show the H, H+, 3g like King Kang oct-17 rom. I also prefer the settings layout kinda small and everything on one page, I guess that's ICS's settings layout where it has the Rom settings, Paranoid settings. Right now I'm on the Super stock Oxeded rom(looks the same as stock to me) Although it has the 4g icon but you can't tell if you're on 3g as for me i've been seing 4g icon all day but when I was on King Kang rom it bounces from 3g, H, then stays on H+.....
Here are the roms i've X out as not for me:
1.King Kang. Love the signal icons, love the settings UI. BUT yesterday the lockscreen pin was so buggy, when I would press a button it would input the wrong numbers. So i couldn't get into my phone I had to just install a diff rom, This rom also makes my screen flash, at one point i couldnt make calls or recieve calls(I'm on straight talk, might been a APN issue)
2. Quincyatt oct24-12 rom. Doesn't show any signal icons. other than that it was ok.
3.collective rom. I just didn't like the theme of the rom. I'm not a fan of custom icons and all that other fancy mess of changing names of some settings you are looking for.
4. Black Star rom. doesn't show any signal icons. no paranoid settings. It's a cool black n white settings but everywhere you look you see "BlackStar" it's even in the notification bar.
5. GovCheez rom. Doesn't show the signal icons. I like the setup on this rom.
6.cookie and cream rom. no signal icons. has paranoid settings so that's good. not a fan of the bootup animation either.
To me it seems like you may want to learn how to theme a Rom and make a theme to your liking. That or learn how to make a Rom with the features that you want.
What kind of signal icon u trying to see?

Im currently on Black★STAR ix and i get 3g,H,H+,etc icons for signal. If you would take the time to read the OP and through the thread you would also realize that there are flashable themes for stock and so on.

Seems you need a new friend. Really all the post provided to you seem good to go, sounds like you want something cosmetic, there are threads for this type of mod you want to have and or displayed. Sure that is part of the want of a ROM, me I want stability and something that can handle the stress I put my device thru...how it looks well I will take those mentioned over looks any day just me, hope you find what you are looking for, thanks.
