I looking for app, mod or tips how to hide ICS status bar while in webtop mode. I tried few apps but all doesn't work. Is there any solution to hide it while watching movie?
To avoid misunderstanding: I'm talking about ICS Webtop mode and status bar on the bottom, not ICS standard drop down notification bar.
Edit: IMO it's stupid to develop that kind of bar which takes about 5 - 10% of screen without possibility to hide it.
Edit: Mod is available:

The HTC One X had issues with games and movies showing on screen buttons while it was in a game/movie, much like the webtop mode does.
there was a patch released that fixed that

possibly could steal code from them to work for us?
also looks like deodexing is needed
I found soultion in this thread but it's about CM9, I'm not sure it is even possible to apply this to ICS

I used apktool to decompile android.policy.jar and system.apk but the problem is I can't find in decompiled android.policy,jar files to edit. In diff.txt I have some files with *.xml extension which I can find and also files with *.java extension and this files I coudn't locate. All files in decompiled android.policy folder looks different then those in diff.txt
I uploaded decompiled folders and I asking for help, what files should I edit. I'm not asking to do whole job as I want finally do something on my own.

FROYO ONLY
CM7 users can manually push the framework-res.apk to their devices
See the change log in the next post for changes
Official name changed is happening
Due to the fact that Clean and Theme rhyme and I always feel silly saying it in my head, I'm changing the theme name to WretchedBlues. Blues, because the primary color is blue. I'm already picturing some fun names for future modded themes, such as WretchedLove (Red) and WretchedEnvy (Green), etc..
So what's in the theme?
Pretty graphics (of course)
Ubuntu fonts
Color Settings app
Modded Vending (currently only for the MDPI users, but this will get updated in the next day or two)
This is a themed framework for those running on Froyo. It is a complete make over for both MDPI and HDPI density settings. For those of you who are new, you view screenshots at the theme's webpage.
What mods do you include?
A Straight up theme with no mods
Thanks to brianf21, we now have a status bar on the bottom of the screen. His mod also adds a home/menu/back button and fixes FCs on known apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214)
I had one very determined person hound me about the Volume +- mapping mod. I've inlcuded a package for that as well
***you must revert back to standard WretchedBlues before flashing this version!***
What's new in this version?
All themes are Flashable via Clockwork Recovery
Should work on all DPI settings
Completely new look for the HDPI version, while still bringing over some of the MDPI elements (quality increased to suit the HDPI display though). Things that have not changed are limited to buttons and text fields. I felt they looked good enough so why go changing them
Ubuntu fonts
I've removed every mention of the word "phone" from as much of the framework as I can. No more "Power options". It now reads "Nook options" and "Your Nook will power down".
Added a new look and feel to all pop-up windows.
New spinners
Semi-transparent notification pulldown (again, thenk Fuzzy_Dunlop)
Added a revert for Sweetened
Plus more
Downloads and Screenies

Changelog
02/07/2011
added the CWM flashable update.zip (http://jjis.me/froyo-clean/update.zip) file
corrected the text color of the "clear all" button under the status expanded menu
attempted to alter the color of the png for the activity status bar, but don't like the new color either
02/08/2011
Corrected the black text in the extended status bar notifications. I had to change the backgrounds to a lighter color since I can not control every app that will post notifications.
Notification headers now have a green background to tie with the green icons in the status bar.
Activity header background color has been altered to eliminate banding.
Altered the progress bars for those who were not happy with the over use of blue (and I agree after using for a few days). I've altered the bars to match the colors of the list select items.
Included the themed Market 2.2.11 so the icons in the status bar tie in better with the overall theme
I made the status pull down a little bit darker (depending on the number of request, I'll make the status bar darker as well)
That's it for now. If you guys have color suggestions for the progress bars and notification header backgrounds, let me know. I'm open to ideas. I'm trying to limit the number of colors I use though, so nothing crazy. It still needs to tie into the overall theme.

Updated the updater-script for CWM. It will clear the Dalvik Cache in hopes that it will free memory of left over files. There was also an issue in Froyo 0.6.7 where an extra framework folder was copied to /system/framework. The new script deletes this folder since it is not needed. I'm also clearing the old framework-res.apk, services.jar, Vending.apk and bootanimation.zip files before copying mine over. Again, hopefully this will clear up any performance problems people were having. I've looked at optimizing some more, but after comparing my files to the stock Froyo framework files, mine are actually smaller in file size.
Pulled the Vending.apk from the Gapps package being used for Froyo 0.6.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917660). I've been using it on my Nook and haven't had a problem with it at all. Seems to work well.
02/11/2011
Color icons in Settings
Set status bar to black
Extended status menu is now black to match
Custom menu selection background
02/25/2011
Added HDPI from Galaxy S Cognition ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tovif0oZxUs
Changed the boot animation to the new Nook Color Red Blue animation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952188&highlight=boot+animation (thanks Chuck6993)
03/02/2011
Finally got the back button issue fixed
Removed all mentions of the word phone and replaced with NOOKcolor (e.g. "Your NOOKcolor will shut down")
03/13/2011
Softkeys version: semi-transparent notification menu added, graciously, by Fuzzy_Dunlop (yes, I will apply to the non-softkeys version as well)
03/24/2011
Officially dropping support for soft keys mod in version WretchedBlues 0.1 and older. Too many bugs with it and this was not something I supported
Added the new modded status bar. This mod moves the status bar to bottom and adds a notification/home/menu/back button. It also fixes known FCs that were in the old version. Thanks goes to brianf21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214)
Made all versions compatible with DPI settings
03/25/2011
Corrected the framework strings to remove as many instances of the word "phone" where applicable. Should now read either "NOOKcolor" or "device" throughout the framework.
Changed the options menus to be semi-transparent black with white text to match the status bar better.
03/28/2011
Introducing a new versioning system. The status bar mod will have a version number matching the date of brianf21's updates. This may change once he gets his mod to update without having to alter the services.jar and framework-res.apk files. For now, though, my version number will match his release dates so you guys will know if my theme is up to date.
Made the status bar background solid black
Increased the contrast of the status bar buttons.
The options menu now matches the status bar a little better
03/30/2011
Just a minor tweak to Sweetened to remove a density setting tag
Updated unModded to 0.1.3 (black status bar, better looking options menu)
Added a revert for Sweetened to go back to unModded
04/14/2011
Finally got off my lazy butt and updated the Sweetened theme to brianf21's 4/10 update
I've no additional changes, hence no update to unModded
Upcoming Changes
make the options menu seem more integrated with the theme in 0.1.2. It was a quick hack and I'm not too happy with it. Just doesn't seem to look right compared to the status bar
Can anyone think of anything else?
installed successfully on 0.6.6 and seems to be working just as advertised. aside from a typo in the instructions - "adb push clean-services.jar /system/framework/serverices.jar" everything installed smoothly. good work!

Oops. My coding habits coming out there. I apparently type $_SERVER way too often
Thanks for the catch. It's corrected now.
Beforehand, thanks for your work and development on the nook
Now, is there any chance of incorporating the Menu and Back button mod for the Status bar into this theme?
Original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932631
I know there are quite a few of us early Froyo(emmc) adopters that use this mod instead of remapping the vol+/- hard buttons.
Looks amazing. Is there any way I can add the softkeys to this theme? They are featured in theis thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932631
I am afraid if I push them over your files it will mess something up and not boot.
Awesome them though!
I will have to look at that apk and see what changes they've made. I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure what will happen. If it looks like it's something doable then I can put together a framework with and without.
Normally, I use Button Savior in the market as work around for you for now.

Already installed I was using the button mod for the volume keys, but I found it was more convient to have the volume buttons with the keys on softbar, with button savior as a backup for some misc things. I kinda liked that better. But again awesome theme!! Is that Zegou UI you are using for the font? I dont know anything about theming, but I am decent with photoshop.If you send me the pngs( I assume thats what they are) I would love to make a red/black verison for you to recompile back into a theme.
Excellent work, will test and post any bugs!
I'm actually going to post the PSD files as soon as I get them cleaned up. I need to edit the layer names and file names so they match the file name of the PNG they're replacing.

is there any way to fix the notification pull down? It's always scaled poorly (doesn't stretch across the screen). Perhaps some xml file in the framework somewhere?
I have managed to get it fullscreen before by messing with lcd density, but it never seems to survice a reboot
Installed without a hitch! It looks great. I will post a screen of my set up, after I tweak a few things.
Nice work!

I am looking into this. It's not in the XML files. They all read "fill_parent" so there is something else I'm missing. I'm starting to think it's something in the jar files. As soon as I have a fix though, it will be posted.

Looks like I missed a minor thing. The Clear All button in the status expanded menu is white text. Should be black. I'm working on the flashable zip so I will include the fix when I get the update.zip working.
Unfortunately CWM doesn't want to play nice with me so the update.zip is taking longer than I wanted.

I don't believe you can yet. Just for kicks I tried installing it by using Root Expolrer to replace the files, and it put me in a boot loop. Terminal Emulator might work, but I haven't tried.
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.

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!
Can anyone tell me how to resize this? This is the area in the notification bar that has wifi, bluetooth, etc.. toggles --- I have tried editing size of the image in gimp and ninjamorph but that is not helping. I do not want to be able to see the names of the toggles....help....
Ask Annex. I remember that he knew the mod to remove text under those buttons. Most of his themes do not have that text.
I had the same issue and ended up using a header out of the SGS2 theme for project V on the EDT forums and changing the color to suite my needs.
Edit: attached them here, not sure which one it uses so I did them both.
Thank Annex, 100% his work.
I am looking for a few status bar items, there is probably more than one solution to each question.
I am looking for these status bar icons, does anyone know where i can find them? See attached picture.
I also see people with music transport buttons in the dropdown and toggles for wifi and bluetooth etc, how are people achieving these things??

Sent from my SuperStreak! ;-)
The simple way is to use widgetsoid, but streak roms do not support directly pressing the buttons in the notification bar, you ahve to have it make a small pop-up menu to actually use them.
The more complex way is to modify the frameworks to directly support them without external apps, but that requires modifying the frameworks.
use UOT you can get any of those!!

Been trying to figure out what to edit in TW JB StatusUI.apk to make the backgrounds of the actual notifications themselves transparent. Tried editing a bunch of xmls, but I've only found values for the status bar, the notification dropdown background, and the categories and whatnot in the notification dropdown.
I suspect that the files I need to edit are some of the .9.png files in xhdpi, but I've also found that I can't edit or add any 9patch files without causing SystemUI.apk to fail to recompile, so I haven't been able to test those files. Probably just doing something wrong, there, as I've never messed with those files before.
Looking through the GS3 and GN2 question forums hasn't yielded much in the way of answers for this, so I'm just going to ask here. Any ideas?
Edit: This background (from a different phone): http://s15.postimage.org/y8ad3u917/Screenshot_2012_10_03_17_59_49.png
I got my 9patch files working, still can't figure this out. I can make the status bar transparent, the notification dropdown windown transparent, the quick toggles transparent, but I just can't find what actually sets the background for the notifications themselves!
This is seriously causing me a massive headache. I've edited so many png files at this point that I think I'm losing my mind.
