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.
Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I tried your transparent nav bar from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814171
But it didn't do anything for me. Once the phone rebooted the nav bar looked the same as before...

I have experienced some versions of rosie that are very fussy. After m10 edits i have had to decompile and recompile with apktool (no other edits) just to properly compress the m10

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.

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.

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

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?
Ok guys, I'm looking to everyone who knows how to theme to contribute. I've been scouring the internet and I just cannot find a definitive HOW TO for creating a theme. There are bits of information here, dead links there, and lots of going back to square one.
I'm hoping we can pull together as a community and get the information posted up. I can take that info and add screenshots afterwards for whatever you guys contribute.
What I've Gathered:
Create a Nandroid backup in case of a softbrick!
The easiest way to create a theme is by using NinjaMorph. NinjaMorph is an app in the market, there's a paid version and a free version.

Once you have NinjaMorph, you can open .apk's to edit the images and XML files inside of them. Open NinjaMorph on your phone and start a New Project. After that, navigate to system then framework and open up framework-res.apk. Once you open it, NinjaMorph will extract everything in that APK. In our case, framework-res is one of the big boys in making a theme, namely the status bar. Leave NinjaMorph and connect your phone to your computer. After mounting your phone, navigate to your phone's internal memory, not your SD Card, and go to the AndroidThemes folder. In this folder is a folder called workspace. In that folder is your newly extracted framework-res.apk. You can copy the contents of this folder to your computer and then edit the files as you feel necessary.
I recommend keeping a copy of the original workspace so that you can revert any changes, if you don't like them. Also a good idea is to keep a nandroid backup handy in case you screw something up and softbrick your phone.
Once you are done making files, you need to replace the old files that are inside of the workspace folder on your device and then unmount your phone. Go back to NinjaMorph and then hit finish your project. Ninjamorph will automatically re-apk the files into a framework-res.apk and then re-apply the framework-res.apk. Your phone will reset and you should be good to go.
Now, you CANNOT change the clock color or the text color of the notifications list unless you edit the services.jar file from your phone. This is where we need more information. I'm hoping the good people of XDA can chime in and help everyone benefit and get some seriously sick themes coming out. We can't until everyone spreads some information on how to do this!!
Thanks for this useful post!

This should be a sticky. And 2 things.
1 If I want to edit the status bar Whats the png name and where's it located?
2. How do I change the png icons color? Like without it turning into a .img or a. Gif?
Sent from my unicorn
The png file is status_barxxxx_9
This is how I do...
Adb pull and rename the extension to .zip open framwork-res.apk.zip with 7zip and extract only the files you want to edit,make changes and put the file back into the zip file and rename back to framwork-res.apk adb push.
Reboot...

Wow that is fantastic, I'll have to add some of that into the update and include the link!
Which eclipse do I download?
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:

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

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.
As part of my guide, I'm writing up instructions on how to use the UOT Kitchen.
Anyway, I am but one man and I have real-world constraints on my time so if anyone else has successfully used it, can they please post here detailing which mods they used and how they manually installed the files - especially what permissions they needed to apply.
Thanks.

there you go with permissions for each of the files...
now the rest is trying... you wont brick you phone with the right permissions if you only use the kitchen.
I know that's the permissions required for framework-res.apk, I had kind of guessed it would be the same for SystemUI.apk.
It was more the other files the Kitchen spits out - like the fonts (that could be it, I'm not sure).
As for not bricking my phone, I know that - I've spent most of the day trying to make the Kitchen work and having to re-flash my handset to recover it.
So I'm not worried, it's more the hassle of having to check it all myself - especially when there are some of the mods I'm not personally interested in.
I too learned my lesson. You learn from mistakes and I had to either go on safe mode or use seus to fix my arc to factory settings. What I do now to avoid semi-brick.
* Create a folder in sd..i named it kitchen.
* Copy what ever you made in UOT KITCHEN in that kitchen folder
* With root explorer..copy the folder KITCHEN from SD to your ROOT
* Open the Kitchen set your permission for each files you need. sample systemui.apk
* Move the file to the correct folder and Yes to overwrite.
* You can delete that copied KITCHEN in the root.
* Last step reboot
That's how, I do it now.
Just to add
If your not sure what permission the file needs to be. You can always check the original file permission first, before you edit your themed file permission.

Choose font also when cooking in kitchen, and after extracting your "kitchen theme", you will get a folder "fonts".. Don't need to try root explorer. Download "Font Changer" from Market (It's free) & choose fonts you downloaded..
Thanks, I'll bear that in mind.
I need to over-haul my guide again - go away for a week and a load of new ways to root the Arc are invented
I'll try and flesh out the UOT section at the same time.
Boot Animation.
You don't need to upload any files from your phone to UOT for bootanimation changes.
Select the BA you want and have UOT cook it for you.
Get the zip file and open it..
go into /system/media
copy and paste the embeded sanim.zip somewhere on your PC, outside of the kitchen ZIP.
Rename it to bootanimation.zip
copy that to your SD card
use root explorer copy from SD card to system/media
change permissions to rw-r--r--
All system files/ apps should be rw-r--r--
he guys I want to confirm here that the UOT zip can be aplied trough the new CWM all works perfectly fine its not so much fun but a lot easier you know
Pull-down Animation
Do you have any idea how to get the pull-down animation to show?It's in the SystemUI.apk that i made,but does not show.
Sorry, exactly what animations are you referring to?
Step666 said:

On the UOT kitchen you can select the option of having an animation for the background of the pull down status bar... c status bar mod
So far i've only gotten the android circle option to work, tesseract and the matrix have caused fc's and resulted in loss of status bar...
Ps I think animation pull down background causes our arc system to lag a little... just a little so be carefull... I will continure to test the other mods and report back to c if any others work
PSS step666 thanks for all your work in helpin getting our arc modded like a street racer... lol
Oh, yeah, I see now.
That option wasn't there last time I used the kitchen.
I would imagine any unnecessary animations would cause lag.
Also, the compatibility issues may be due to SE's use of the slightly unconventional 480x854 screen res but that's just wild speculation on my part.
How are you applying the mods?
Using the manual file-replacement method discussed in this thread or flashing the zip using CWM?

Wow step666 i never thought about the 480x854 resolution being the culprit for the fc's.. thats y u r the man, lol
Yes I have been using the manual file-replacement method and switching the permissions to get my themes to work because I have a locked bootloader, but sim unlocked... hopefully blagus can find a solution soon (he seems to be on the right track)
I'm not the man, I'm just thinking out loud...
It just struck me that the page in the kitchen were you mod your notification area specifically states 480x800 and while a fixed image would stretch ok, an animated one might now.
But that doesn't explain why some animations work and others don't.
I take it you're not getting any errors from the kitchen when it spits out your modded apks?
No errors or shft errors... everything cooks just fine but like i said i've tested three animations and only one works.. its just such a pain in the ass to keep building mods and waiting for them to cook and then applying them only to get fc's... but I will keep trying and report my results
Thanks, any feedback you can provide is very much appreciated.
What META-INF for?
Yeah, I don't know...

Not required if using the manual method, just discard.
I put together a few mods from other places and thought I would share them.
MIUI Battery bar from pvyParts
Center Clock from TheGrammarFreak
Nav Bar from evilisto
This will replace your SystemUI and framework-res apks, so as always make a backup, as I am not responsible for anything that happens. But this is the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can't really tell, but the MIUI battery bar is there. This will also completely disable your capacitive buttons! I also put up a revert zip that will put things back to normal if you need it.
Just flash the according file of your choosing. Once that is installed you can change all the colors for the bar in the BatteryBarSettings app.
The "text" version only has the back, home, search, and multitask buttons in text. It is more of a test and that's the only buttons I use down there. If anyone has any ideas for different buttons(color,font,etc) let me know, I'm not good with Photoshop, but I can do some basic things. So please let me know what you think!
As far as I know, this is CDMA specific, because the mount points in the updater-script are different for GSM.
Nice!

I also edited the nav bar buttons and added the reflections. This will replace your SystemUI and framework-res apks, so as always make a backup, as I am not responsible for anything that happens. But this is the result:

Just flash the file below, and also install the BatterBarSettings apk. I need to get better at making a flashable zip :/ Once that is installed you can change all the colors for the bar in the app.
So please let me know what you think!

Thought this looked kickass when you first posted this up - great work man with the edits ..
Do you know of a way to disable the capacitive buttons all together? I can't remember if that is a kernel edit or an edit within the ROM. I'd assume a kernel edit would be needed.

It is a rom edit. And easy, but the thing I am looking to do is disable the lights to the buttons. I know how to do it once you are booted into the rom, but I would like to make the edits pre-flash, and its kicking my butt.

Pretty sure that can be accomplished with an init.d script. I'll look into it.

I used to be able to change the values in framework-res in the arrays.xml but they changed they values that were there, so now if I change them it will boot loop. Want me to tell you how to disable the buttons though?
Sure go ahead.
And I made the init.d script but for some reason it doesn't execute on boot. There are other init.d scripts there so I'm sure his ROM supports them but now I'm all confused lol
If I'm able to successfully boot the next version of deviltoast with gapps then I will definitely be doing this! I saw when you posted it in the thread and i wanted it lol. Thanks!

In /system/usr/keylaout/ open atmel-touchscreen.kl. I'll I did was comment out the four keys with #. Then open generic.kl and find the four keys again(should be 102,139,158,217) and comment those out as well. That should disable them completely. And yeah, init.d scripts and such is a little above my head. lol

Do what I do and just add all the files from the gapps zip into the rom zip(minus the addon.d folder) and then flash and should be good to go. I hate flashing multiple files...

Hmm I tried just deleting them in atmel but I didn't try the ones in generic. That's why it wouldnt work for me.
And I'm going to try adding the script to the ROM itself and flashing that instead of adding it there manually. Hopefully this will work..

Yeah you need to do it to both files. Or it will still work. Sweet deal, please let me know if it works. I wouldn't mind learning how the scripts work...

Okay that didn't work so I'm going to try again on his next update and if I still get nothing I will ask him whether or not the ROM supports init.d
And if you want to learn a little about init.d, you can PM me
I was just using the kitchen to add the ffc fix'ed zImage, and I noticed that it said the rom doesn't support busybox-runparts(init.d). but I've never messed with the kitchen that much so I'm not sure how true it is.
edit: just tried to add it in and it kept saying the rom already supported it. weird.
Yeah I just got the same thing. Weird!
Supposedly it does support them.
Couldn't you just put the edited files in the correct directories in the flashable zip? Then flash?
Nope I tried that and it didn't work.

Maybe you need to have the updater-script in the zip set permissions..
