[MOD] Orange Themed Statusbar with custom pulldown Image for SGN2 4.1.2 - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

PsyJoe's Status Bar Mods
First of all, this is my first mod, so of course there's NO WARRANTY ^^ ...feel free to use it but if you brick your phone it isn't my fault
This mod was made using Tickle My Android by Ticklefish - so big thanks to him :good: - and some hours of trying to change values, layouts etc.
It seems like the flashable zip dosn't work with CWM, so either you try using TWRP or open the downloaded zip, navigate to \XTRAS\system\app\, extract SystemUI.apk
and flash it via adb or use a file manager to copy it to /system/app/folder on your device.
But be sure to set permissions to 644
So what's changed:
Several SystemUI-Colors were changed to orange (the orange from the credits at the end of each Modern Family Episode)
Battery-Icon: Orange Circle
Wifi-Icon: Orange from top
Battery-charged-100%-Icon: Orange Circle 100%
Custom Pulldown background Image
Transparent Notification and brightness controller background
- Custom orange Expanded Statusbar Settings Button
- QuickSettingsPanel Text and Toggle Icons changed to orange

Statusbar incoming Notification

How to install:
Download the attached Orange_Themed_StatusBar.zip
Reboot to your custom recovery
make a nandroid to be sure ^^
flash the downloaded zip file
Wiping Dalvik cache isn't needed because it's automatically done
A flashable backup zip will be created on your sdcard, but I would recommend to perform a Nandroid or at least backup the SystemUI.apk in /system/app/folder on the device
reboot
Enjoy the result
If you want a transparent Status Bar instead of the black one look at Post # 2
If you don't like the pulldown background image, u can try to open the downloaded zip, navigate to \XTRAS\system\app\ and open SystemUI.apk with 7-zip, navigate to \res\drawable-xhdpi\ and change "new_bg.png" to the Image you like, but it should be in 720x1280 px or at least the same proportion.
I didn't try this but it should work I guess ^^ ... or just decompile it, change the Image, recompile il and make a flashable zip or push it direkt via adb, but be sure to set the permissions to rw- r-- r--. Then wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
I hope someone can need this and likes the colors as I do
Coming soon:
- Mod to change only Dropdown Background Image
- Selectable icons
- ICS Blue Mod

Notice:
I made some changes in framework-res.apk which is about 30 mb, so I uploaded the file on zippyshare.com
The attached files are without the framework-res changes (stock notification colors)
Downloads:(via zippyshare)
Black Status Bar (non transparent) with orange Icons & Text colors
75 % Transarent Status Bar with orange Icons & Text colors
50 % Transarent Status Bar with orange Icons & Text colors

Are you using cwm? ... you could try it using twrp
EDIT: I just tried it with Omega v11 Rom and twrp, it works perfectly. So the error really seems to be caused by CWM.
But if you don't want to flash TWRP (which is much better in my opinion ), you could try to extract the SystemUI.apk from the \XTRAS\system\app\ folder of the zip file you downloaded, and flash it via adb or just use a filemanager to copy it to your /system/app/ folder on your device.
But be sure to set the permissions to 644

[MOD] Transparent Notification Bar

Note : the black settings come from a theme I hope to release soon.
INSTALLATION
**Disclaimer**
I am not responsible for your phone, or anything that happens to it. Ever.
This apk has been pulled straight from my phone, and its working fine.
(stock rom,black skin installed,clear lock screen,custom skin, rooted)
Have a Nandroid backup
Have a Goldcard
Have recovery
Backup your original apk
Notice: this apk uses images from the Skin: Black , if you do not have it installed you will now have a black notification menu. For maximum colour-compatibility install the black skin first.
Also note that I have changed the pull down tab located at the bottom of the screen shots, I felt this was more appropriate for the theme.
Instructions
push the apk to system/framework
reboot, you should now have a transparent notification screen
Thank you man
Can blank (transparent) part of slide be refilled with black color
p.s. havok, will you do a white skin? So we'll have black and white
Does this work with Gingerbread?
Which file you changed
Thanks
I'll make this for gingerbread, i think its called status background (or similar) inside framework res .apk
Good work..havok make it work for gingerbread..
Transparent status bar
Hi havok
I tried for transparent status bar in res frame work.apk (puting transparent file ) but signing creates problem phone don't start
I have Android signer java application
may be HTC sign different
what i do ?
you can avoid having to sign the apk files again:
1. extract file you wish to edit
2. edit file
3. open apk (NOT extract) using zip manager (e.g 7zip)
4. drag edited file into the correct folder in .apk and replace
5. file should then be ready for adb push. no rezip or re sign needed
please edit for me
hi havok
I use 7 zip but don't work phone stuck at booting
I m uploading a file
replace it frame work.apk /res /drawable-120dpi/statusbar_background.png
please edit & upload working frame work.apk
Thanks
I think it looks nice, but i think that it will be confusing in the last end.
But nice one mate!
I want to make the notification bar transparent so my wallpaper goes to the top edge of the screen.
how do I do this? this appears to be the lockscreen?? maybe I am calling it by wrong name. running 2.2 on TP2 the white bat at the top that has the notification icons and the network battery time info.
I want to make "that" transparent. if the wallpaper does not "go" to the top then I want to "skin" it to match the wallpaper.
I can't use metamorph since that requires busybox and busybox does not work with my build.
use online kitchen, the instructions and the kitchen are here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Hmm First "CAN" I use this at all.
I am not running an android device "per say"
I am running a windows mobile 6.5 HTC Touch Pro 2 that has android running "ON IT" (from the SD card)
so would this even work for me?
second it says transparency of the notification bar requires Ginger 2.3 I am Froyo 2.2
if I can't make it transparent can I simply replace it with a non transparent bar (I will clip the appropriate pixels from my image and make that "chunk" the notification bar. IE simulate transparency. it will only work for one wallpaper but thats ok.
I don't see an option for this ?
Hello

And were should I put the attached data?

Basic Framework Edits

this is a very basic guide to change colors and maybe icons if you've suitable icons..
I don't know anything about signing apks and stuffs but I did the following steps and it worked for me...
THINGS YOU'LL NEED :
7zip
Any Imaging Software that can handle PNG files(I use PHOTOSHOP)
FRAMEWORK-RES.APK file
STEPS :
Right Click on your framework-res.apk
Click 7-zip->Open Archive
go to res folder
Extract drawable-mdpi anywhere on your pc
edit the files you want with your imaging software and save them
now drag the modified files to the drawable-mdpi folder in the zip file
Open the drawable-mdpi folder in your zip file
select the modified files, hold and drag to the zip archive and leave it
it will ask you to add the files or not
just click yes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Close the file
Push your framework into your phone
(I use Xrecovery mode for pushing it, cuz its safe)
Code:
[B]busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk[/B]
---------------------------END------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT TIPS
if you're upto modifying colors than you may notice that some files have extension .9.png they need special way to edit (actually not so special lol)
just open them in your imaging program
you'll notice few black dots and black border
something like this
{
"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"
}
keep those black things as they are, and mess around with the other colors
-----------------------------END QUOTE----------------------------------
for now I've just tested this with colors and few icons and it works
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if anyone needs this framework (I changed the green color to orange, changed the lock symbol to stock it was too small and colored some of the network indicators from white to green lol)
FRAMEWORK-RES.APK.7z
Good. i tried to change the xml files. but the process needed me to use apktool to decompile the framework-res.apk.
when i used original framework-res-apk, it decompiled successfully, but when I used gingerbread framework-res.apk by pulpoff, errors about the .9.pngs occur.

yeah.. i used gingerbread theme's icons and they worked however you can only replace those which have the exact same name you know not everything is possible lol
nice work. can you explain how to change battery icon, i want it show percent, like 58% in front of the icon. i think that's what people need most
I see now, that in framework 'res' folder, in 'drawable-land-mdpi', we have stock layouts of Lock Screen (i mean, stock bar for unlock move and sound).
How can I set it to default? I don't like that SE original LockScreen theme...
Find all the icons named as SEMC_slidingtab and replace them the way you want

[Q] how to change control bar color?

h ttp://i54.tinypic.com/fldism.jpg
Is there any way to customize this bar? Colors, icons?
Also, does it have a name?
Thanks!
+1 for this. I would like tu customize it too. Any clue is appreciated.
+1 also want to know
darn, we all want to know and no one knows how?! *lol*
http://circle.glx.nl/ - On the Kitchen Online site there is an option to change the Control buttons and color. I tried it to flash but nothing happened when I flashed it. So if anyone know how to do it that would be fantastic.

Worked for me. The hardest part is changing the time, date and ticker text to white since the only way I found is through manual means. Corwin made a comment about how he made his black notification bar. So far, the only text part that I was able to convert to white is the time. Still have to find how to modify date and ticker text...

Np. If you find a way that would be awesome
If you have root you can use ninjamorph to change anything you want like so:
Check this topic. I've been trying to find out how can we change those ugly icons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899476
Hope somebody finds out more than I did.
/system/framework/lge-res.apk contains the control bar, however if you want other color to control bar you'll have to hex edit lge_status_bar_expended.xml (in layout directory) search d0 d0 d0 and replace these with what colour you like.
This is just a sample is not finished cause I did't find matching artwork yet.
Excelent work. Can you post it after it's done ? I will try something myself too.

Awesome work If you're going to mod it further please post your results
So... I've modified the first icon (wireless), but when I push it back through ADB nothing is changed. Strange !
Ok. So I finally finished modifying my first control bar.
I made it so it matches my gingerbread look.
Here are the flashable zip's (signed) for the control bar and the gingerbread framework-res I made.
You need custom recovery to flash them.

will it work with stock rom ( rooted, custom recovery)
I think it needs to be deodex, but I don't know for sure.
Doesn't work if ROM is not deodex.

Clock disappeared after Xperia Ice Cream Pureness build 11

Hi to all, I've one little but pesky problem.
After the installation of the pureness build 11 the top clock, the one in the top status bar.
Anyone know how to activate it?
Many tnx, J
it is not disappeared. it has been removed from statusbar. since it is in drop down panel. it is like the Jelly Bean .

Ok
So ther's any way to reintegrate it on the status bar?
Because in that way I can't see the clock in any page, if I don't drop down the status bar or if I don't have one clock in every page
one thing you can do. either force previous systemui.apk from build 10 to current rom. or flash any battery mod. (battery icon mods link is available in the thread itself)
EDIT : any harm to your phone, not My Fault. Do it on your own risk.

You can use apps like super status bar, status bar + ! Using the app Make your own status bar with clock! You can find the app in the playstore!
Sent from My Xperia NeoV! Don't be a retard! Press the thanks button!
I tried some app like super battery status, but no, it's not for me, tnx anyway for your advice, it was the workless solution
Btw, I think that the replacement solution is the best one, but I don't think that I've considered all the variables.
What if I make the replacement, only the status bar change?
And, how to make it possible? just replace the apk on the phone (in the right path) or I need to reflash the entire build?
J
well theory says push SystemUI.apk from previous build to you /system/app/ folder and set permission to rw-r--r-- , you can use root explorer or another file explorer which can access /system to do this.
it should change your statusbar along with notification panel, their icons and power menu items.
flashing battery mod will also do the same. but it will also give you your desire battery icon on statusbar. and this method is much easier and risk free.

Right, flashing battery is less dangerous, but I don't see any good mod, any mods have strange layouts, I love the status bar that you can see on the screenshots page of the pureness
Btw, where I can find the old systemui? I don't have the build 10

i made a flashable zip. this is better. tested on my own device.
just flash in cwm. attached

Tnx rajxelton for your help, but I've a question. Maybe it's only one misunderstood, if you look at your second screenshot you can see 2 hours, 11:50 and 23:48, and if you look at the first screenshot you can see 23:50. This one (23:58 and 23:50) is the clock that I can't see, and both your screenshots have it.

its a widget in 2nd screenshot. it is installed in the sdcard. and i took the screenshot just after detaching phone from computer. it think it was not fully loaded to work well.
i am having an issue with build 11 i was on build 10 and i upgraded to 11 by doing formatting system and data and cache and factory reset and wiping dalvik cache and then flashed the rom and the neo patch and i am using night elf lite kernel
after flashin the rom the rom felt like too slow and the launcher was too slow for example when i enter setting and press the home button it takes about 3-4 sec to load icons and widgets and when i enter the menu it takes time to load icons also !!!! any one also getting this ?!

Theming the android navigation bar

Hello,
I'm trying to theme the build in android navigation bar.
I am running standard samsung ROM.
I have made the navbar visible by adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the build.prop.
This with the reason so i can click the buttons with the S-pen. And i can also navigate when using a mouse and keyboard.
The graphics are located in framework-res.apk
I have coppied it to my pc, changed the .png files, put them back in the system/framework and changing permissions back. After a cache wipe i still see the old graphics.
Maybe the graphic files are located somewere else? anybody knows the answer?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
My goal is to remove this blue line above the navbar and i want the icons to be white instead of grey.
I also found some of the icons graphics in the SystemUI.apk but not the background with the blue line, this one was located in framework-res.apk..
There is also a twframework-res file in the /system/framework folder. But this one does not contain the navigation bar graphics.
Maybe someone can help me further.
After changing files in the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. Do you have to wipe the cache or is a normal reboot enough to see the changes?
Maybe there is a log tool that can exactly see which processes the phone is running?? Like loading these graphic files etc.
if u are using odex rom, rename the .odex file to whatever extension first, u have the risk to boot loop, if so, adb and rename back the file to .odex
if u are using deodex rom, make sure u are modding the correct image file

From my Galaxy Nexus modding times, the Recent/Home/Back image files are in
"system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi"
I've had a look at my own Note 2 SystemUI.apk and it appears it's the same file layout.
The navigation bar files are:
ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_highlight.png
ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
ic_sysbar_home.png
ic_sysbar_home_land.png
ic_sysbar_menu.png
ic_sysbar_menu_land.png
ic_sysbar_recent.png
ic_sysbar_recent_land.png
All i ever did to mod these files on my Galaxy Nexus was:
copy SystemUI.apk to PC
rename to .zip
extract zip contents
edit image files
re-zip all files
rename to SystemUI.apk
I assume it's the same process for the Note 2.
EDIT: Forgot about odex/deodex issue. Post above may be the fix.
Also, if i remember correctly, the framework-res file needs de-compiling/re-compiling to be edited, thus the reason why i only ever edited my SystemUI.apk file.
ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_highlight.png
ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
ic_sysbar_home.png
ic_sysbar_home_land.png
ic_sysbar_menu.png
ic_sysbar_menu_land.png
ic_sysbar_recent.png
ic_sysbar_recent_land.png

Those icons are not used on the Note II. Because in that folder all the icons are white but on the Note II the normal state of the icons is grey and when pressed they become white (this is the case with the graphics in the framework-res.apk file).
Also the background with the blue line is not located in the SystemUI.apk but it is located in the framework-res.apk file.
But the weird thing is after editting these graphics they don't change on the phone. Like it has cached the files..
These are the graphics located in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
I have allready swapped the normal <-> pressed text so the normal state should be a white icon. I have also removed the blue line from the tw_navigationbar_bg.png.... But i just can't see them on my phone after copying the new framework-res.apk to my phone..

Those icons are not used on the Note II. Because in that folder all the icons are white but on the Note II the normal state of the icons is grey and when pressed they become white (this is the case with the graphics in the framework-res.apk file).
Also the background with the blue line is not located in the SystemUI.apk but it is located in the framework-res.apk file.
But the weird thing is after editting these graphics they don't change on the phone. Like it has cached the files..

Ah, ok, fair enough. There goes my limited experience from modding my GNex lol.
This is an awesome mod, any progress? Thanks!
Is there any ways to custom the height of the navigation bar??
The bar is very big for me. Thank you.
Absolutely hating the capacitive buttons on this, it's a massive device, why Samsung left the button that sensitive, i don't know, when you type or hold the device with both hands at the bottom, you end up pressing them with your palm, so to say, you have to always hold the device at the top. Hope you work this out and shut the capacitive buttons.
A way to enable on screen nav bar to open when s pen is taken out would be awesome!
The navbar tweaks and everythink were terrible with the Touchwiz Samsung ROM.
I've moved on to the PACman ROM. Tweaking the navbar to the maximum!
But i think i've found the answer to the buttons not being white but a little bit greyish.. The .png is white but some .xml file says that the buttons should be a little bit transparant. So they turn grey..
What file/image controls the background color of the navigation bar?
Download an app called softkeyz it has awesome themes for navbar.
