Is it possible to change the top status bar from grey to black when using a program? Example, in screen shot attached, the top status bar is grey in colour instead of black when using tapatalk. Facebook had the sane experience too. Thanks.

Can you make exactly the same theme with black colour? I think it would be amazing
I love the stock look but the lock screen seems wrong.
The sliders in the lock screen seem wrong in size (smaller than normal android) and they are cutoff. Are there any plans to fix/update/improve the theme?
The rest is just perfect, I love the theme.
Thanks a lot!!

thx to Gallery 3D app.
Is my phone bricked?
I moved the framework to system/framework/ and while it was pasting it the phone restarted and now i'm stuck with the SE logo. I only had the battery charged 20%, do i have to reflash my U20i?
if it hangs on the se logo for a while you have to do a reflash with seus (sony ericsson update service).
ps: did you change the permission of your apk before you copied it to system/framework?
Yes , I did ,i had the black theme before and i set the permissions to 755. It happened to me every time i tried to install a framework through Root Explorer, i reflashed my phone 5 times since 30th Of November. It is a painful process to do that through the flasher tool provided by Binr4y and install a root,app2sd,configure the apps,enable JIT, change VM heapsize etc. . And my phone doesn't ring anymore or work in portrait , i dropped it on the ground.
Thanks. Amazing!
i think, the handling of rootexplorer is very easy if you do that in a right way.
copy the apk to /system, then change the permission to 644 then move the apk to /system/folder_you_want. very easy
I am unable to install the Music Player. Can you tell me how to Uninstall the Music Player that is already installed?
When i try to install the Music.apk that you have provided, it says that the application already exists.
Please help me out.
?? the rootexplorer ask you if you want to override the existing file. click OK.
but before you can copy anything in /system/... you have to mount it with the small button at the top of rootexplorer. click mount r/w and than you can copy your file in /system/... and override the old one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853938 there you find a manual for using rootexplorer
lets try something new today..
before I start let me ask you this questions.
do you like customizing your phone?
do you want to edit your apk's without a pc?
do you have belief in xrecovery (&me probably)
if you answered YES for the above questions. I've something good for you.
our map for the treasure in this journey would be a small application named
METAMORPH
MetaMorph, at heart, is simply a program that takes files from a directory and adds them to an already existing zip package.
In this case, our zip packages are apk and jar files.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THINGS YOU'LL NEED :
Metamorph (attached)
RootExplorer (any apk which can edit xml files)
Androzip/Astro (zip app)
Creativity & Willingness to take the Risk
Metamorph uses a zip file to apply the customize apk on your phone.
the zip file contains two things
a xml file
folder containing your mods
lets cut it sweet with an example.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lets suppose I want to change the icon of my apk. lets say I want to change icon of Calculator

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
to
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metamorph is CaseSensitive. Following Steps need the correct name & case
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
we'll do it in 2 parts
PART - 1
to do this I'll first need to create a folder named Calculator
now the icon of calculator is in the folder res\drawable-mdpi
so I'll create those folders in the Calculator folder
so the line is Calculator->res->drawable-mdpi
all I need to do now is the monster icon into this folder and name it exactly the same way it is in the original so lets rename monster.png to icon.png
PART - 2
the xml file should contain this code
Code:
[B]<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>[COLOR=Red]theme_name[/COLOR]</themename>
<themeversion>0.1beta</themeversion>
<screenshot></screenshot>
<author>Suhel</author>

<item>[COLOR=Red]your_apk.apk[/COLOR]</item>
<path>[COLOR=Red]path_of_your_apk[/COLOR]</path>
<description></description>
[/B]
ok the red things in the above code are crucial.
1. theme_name (I'll come to this later)
2. your_apk.apk this is the name of your apk
3. path_of_your_apk this is the path of your apk
for our Calculator it should be something like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>X8Champ</themename>
<themeversion>0.1beta</themeversion>

<item>[B][COLOR=Red]Calculator.apk[/COLOR][/B]</item>
<path>[COLOR=Red][B]/system/app/[/B][/COLOR]</path>
<description></description>
hope you understand. now you need to save the xml file.
now the first point. the theme_name you are going to type should be the same name as of your xml file name
ok now you're done.
all you need to do now is create a zip file and place the folder & xml file in that zip file. again make sure the name of the zip file should be the same as the xml file
put the zip file in your sdcard root
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applying theme with Metamorph
Tap Unzip/Extract new theme
Select the Zip file
Tap the apk you want to apply and tap apply it
Reboot your phone
-THE END-
Why Metamorph?
1. Easily Edit your Apk's & Jar files on your phone without hazzle of extracting and replacing.
(Jar files will need pc. awww but you dont edit jars too much )
2. You can Mod multiple Apk's
Code:
[B]<item>[COLOR=Red]your_apk1.apk[/COLOR]</item>
<path>[COLOR=Red]path_of_your_apk[/COLOR]</path>[/B]
[B]<item>[COLOR=Red]your_apk2.apk[/COLOR]</item>
<path>[COLOR=Red]path_of_your_apk[/COLOR]</path>
[/B]
[B]<item>[COLOR=Red]your_apk3.apk[/COLOR]</item>[/B]
[B] <path>[COLOR=Red]path_of_your_apk[/COLOR]</path>
<description></description>
[/B]
you can even edit your Framework-res.apk. just make sure the path of it is /system/framework and not /system/app
3. I don't know. I need to try it out more. I'm trying to edit a jar file for now. will tell you the results. but the potential of it are endless
4. However it doesn't work with market apps. its intended to only bug the stock things
IMPORTANT : Meta is very stringent about its filenames and fonts case and name. If you miss one thing the apk will disappear from your menu. so make sure you've a

WOW IT RHYMES LOL

EDIT : well you don't need to entirely backup just copy/paste the apk you want to edit. entire backup may require if you are playing with jar files or crucial apk's.
I'm not responsible for any mess done to your phone

So i found one i liked and installed it.. But now nothing works.. None of the HTC Widgets will Work. and I cannot Long Press on the screen to put widgets on the screen.
And When I use the menu and goto personalize and browse for htc widgets rosie force closes.
Im trying to install the StockWhite .. I thought I had a 4x5 Setup. But Im going ahead an trying the non 4x5 to see if that fixes it.
You just need to change one image in drawable-hdpi its the first image if your looking at it in alphabetical order. Either use to program to make it transparent or find a clock that already has a transparent background and just copy that in to the apk then push it back to your phone.

The older clock widgets don't work properly on the new framework found on the ThunderBolt, which is why I haven't made all of my clocks available by saying they were compatible yet.
What you want to do is take a look at the htcclockwidget.apk using 7zip.
You can download my restore for Tbolt in my themes thread here in the Tbolt section.
Download it twice. Use one as your main backup, and one as your mod test.
The one we are going to use as your mod test, we are going to open up using 7zip, open the .zip until you get to system/app/ the apk is in this folder. Open the .apk in 7zip and this is the graphic we want to replace, "clock_add_weather_base.png" it will be located in this location: (see attachment)
All you gotta do is either right click and do "open outside" do what you want with the graphic or just replace it with a opacity of ZERO and the background will be gone.
To make it easier, I have included the transparent graphic. Just drag and drop into the same window shown in the attachment photo, and 7zip will ask to update, click yes. click all the way back until your out of the .zip. and then your done, use the .zip to install via clockworkmod recovery and boom, its gone!
Your welcome
P.S. Here's a .zip update instead if all that is too complicated.
Just copy this to the SD card, reboot into recovery, mount your system first, and do install from sd card. and then once its done, reboot.

OK so Now I have a few questions lol
So I made some changes and such as described above. And Installed the Zip via clockwork.. says it installed
But I still have the same clock? so I deleted it and put it back and its still there with none of the changes. Not even the change you put in for the transparent background.
what Did I do wrong?
** Oh and I also tried it with no changes at all just the zip you provided incase i did something wrong.. and it still doesn't show?
----
Opps I Figured it out.. i wasnt Mounting the /system before installing Works great now haha My bad.
OK here is my home screen. My next question is how do I change the font color on the clock widget. And is it possible to make the weather smaller?

decompiling... done
OK So Ive learned how to use apktool
Done.. got it all de-compiled..
But now what do I edit to do what im wanting. there are so many xml file.. guess its just a hunt to find? and trial and error to know whats what?
How do you make the clocks white background with the numbers transparent? I would just like to have a white outline and text for the flip clock?
I tried the zip a couple times on BAMF 1.4 and BAMF demix and it doesn't change my clock, no transparent clock... I dunno why.

Dont forget once your in CWR to goto Advanced, and Mount your /system before you install the zip else it wont work. I ran into the same issue and wasn't paying attention.
Just try matted blues apk. It's standard in that

What includes in the package?
- Modified framework-res.apk with menu background patch
- Modified SystemUI.apk
- MDPI/HDPI Ribbon icons
How do i put them in my apps?
0. Copy the MDPI folder or download and extract Ribbons MDPI.zip in your SDcard
1. Download Ninjamorph from the Market and sideload Gmail to /system/app + give rw-r--r-- permissions
2. Open ninjamorph and select new project
3. Navigate to /system/app and select com.google.android.gm-1.apk at this point
ninjamorph expands the file and stores it on your SDcard as a folder.
4. select Res folder
5. Select drawable-hdpi
6. scroll down and select stat_notify_email.png (Remember that name), you will be asked what to replace it with
7. At this point touch the Home button, open ES file explorer and navigate to /Sdcard/MDPI/Gmail folder
8. Check that the .png is named as stat_notify_email.png, if not then rename it
9. Go back to ninjamorph it will show the screen as you leave it, just navigate to the modified file /Sdcard/MDPI/Gmail/stat_notify_email.png and select it. It will replace the original
10. Once you've done the above click back button and then click on finish project
11. Select the project, click YES to the warnings and NO to zip align it
It will do it's thing, once rebooted your menus will have the colour of the file you gave it as a replacement
* Repeat the process with other apps, folders and name of the .png's will vary.
Where is the link?
MDPI: http://min.us/mWC0VBN2A

Can i mirror it?
Yeah sure go ahead
Can i post this somewhere else?
Yes but as always give credits and that means to mention all the users that created this including me to port them to MDPI
Can i get some screenies ?
Here you go...
THANKS!
@collins521 for start this project included in his MIUI suave HD theme
@CelticWebSolutions i based the ninjamorph tutorial from his and for the menus background patches
@lavero.burgos <<ME>>for spend hours figuring out the best way to port the icons and recreate battery icons as MIUI battery icons is way different than stock and CM.

Thanks for the modified framework-res.apk. I thought is was funny on the last step of the splash screen when it said "HACK" by Barnes and Noble. I had to reboot again to make sure it was really there. That was very good.
Thanks again.
Nice setup. On a side note, you can also install these with adb.
open an adb terminal
adb devices (to make sure you are connected)
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\location to save file
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk c:\location to save file
Download the files.
open the framework-res.apk with winrar or 7-zip (do not extract)
navigate to the res/drawable-mdpi folder
drag the entire contents into the rar file
click ok on the popup box
Repeat for the SystemUI.apk
go back to adb
adb push c:\location of framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push c:\location of SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb reboot
All changes should show up. Thats the way I did mine. I tried ninjamorph on the menu background image and it failed about 10 times until I finally gave up and replaced the image in my framework-res file and now it's fine.
OMG YOUR SUCH A GIRL!!!! LOL. they are very nice.
I used adbwireless and did the same...

Out of curiousity, is there any way to make the size of the ribbons for the battery and wifi, ever so slightly, larger. They are somewhat difficult to read and I keep telling my self that I am not that old, no matter what my son says to me. I still hope to learn how to do these things you all do. I guess I just need to try and follow your directions until I get it right.
Thanks again....

How did you get those soft buttons on a stock rom.
Sorry, my fault. I should have explained. I'm running stock v1.4.1 - rooted. I want to add just those soft bottons without the extra ribbons. I see a lot of stuff about cm7, but I haven't seen any posts about getting those in stock. Veronica's mod is the only place I've seen that has it with stock. So my question is really to her, how where u able to get that into stock? The reason I ask is, while it would just be easier to flash her rom, I wouldn't really learn anything. So the 'how' is just as important to me as the 'what'. Anyway I give you credit for your answer and tossed you a thanks.
And just because I'm here, where can I get just the boot animation with the "hack by barnes and noble", because quite frankly, that is just bad ass.

Look about 4 pages back in the "themes and apps* board. There is a thread called *Ice Cream Sandwich Status Bar Icons." Skim the whole thread, especially for screenshots. (Try page 4.) There are flavors which retain an ICS style "keep reading* button, replace that with a standard home button, slide the buttons down to the left, get rid of the clock, replace the numbers to look more ICS-ey, etc. Remember to back up your SystemUI.apk in case something breaks, and good luck!
Can anyone mirror the MDPI version link?
