[Q] Is there a way I can get my notifications to be Black instead of that dull gray? - Nexus S Themes and Apps

That's really all that I want, I don't really care about an entire theme.
Is there an easy way to get notifications like these, or is there a theme that is already like this that I can flash?
Thanks!

I'm working on one for you, been awhile since I've done this though so no promises.
~~EDIT~~ I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct file to replace. As I said its been months and file names seem to have changed. I have one more idea and after that I'm tapped out.
~~EDIT 2~~
Ya man, can't find the right file. Sorry. If you can get someone to tell you what file in systemui.apk needs to be replaced I can tell you how.

Have you checked out the UOT Kitchen over in the Android themes section of there forums? You can do alot of different things. Search for UOT Kitchen. I would enter the link, but I'm on my phone.
Edit: Here is the link for the UOT Kitchen : Uot
Go to that link, click Kitchen, Pick the choices of what you would like modded, when you are finished, click the File Upload tab, where it says Select your rom from the kitchen list choose system files. Enter you framework and system.ui where it asks you to. When your done go to summary, and and choose Submit files to kitchen and go to files pickup area. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and your flashable zip will pop up. Put on your sd card and flash. It sounds complicated, but after you do it once or twice its really cool.
Hopefully that helps a little. If not, sorry I wasted your time. Have a good night.

Are you referring to the notification bar where the clock and battery icons are? If so, its the statusbar_background.png in the Systemui.apk
Sent from my super sleek NS4G, powered by TeamNekkid.

If your referring to the notifications in the statusbar you can theme it easily with ZipThemer
Create a folder structure like so
Mms>res>drawable-hdpi
In the drawable-hdpi folder put the icons you want. The names ( I thik) are stat_notify_sms and stat_notify_mms. A good size is 38x38 pixels
Then go back to the main Mms folder and create a ZipThemer xml with the path set to Mms.apk
Edit: I made a ZipThemer xml and file structure for you. Just extract the zip, goto Mms> res> drawable-hdpi and put those two images in there then apply with ZipThemer
Remember if you use ZipThemer for the first time, goto the apps settings and select update edify
Here's the zip I made

Holy shiet, didn't expect people to actually reply with useful feedback! Thanks to everyone who took time to do so.
What I'm talking about are the notifications you see once you pull the notification bar down.
I will try everything that was recommended and give everyone a proper reply by the end of this week, promise. I just have to do a ton of **** these next few days for my midterms, but the weekend is almost here, so don't fret!
Once again, thank you for all your suggestions!

Hey everyone,
first off, my apologies for replying so late. I've been busy with some ****, but finally got around to flashing the Theme I made in the UOT Kitchen.
It's looking pretty damn good to me. I was able to make the notifications black, and changed the notification bar itself a bit as well. I'm very pleased with the look so far, but as was stated in this thread, the whole process was extremely easy. Maybe the hardest part was waiting for the damn thing to be ready for download...lol
I'd post some screenshots of the notification bar, but with ShootMe not working anymore and since the Screenshot system that's built into CM exits out of the notification bar whenever I want to use it, I won't be able to provide you guys with any for now.
If anyone wants to try out the theme, I've attempted to attach it to this post.
Thank you all for your help!

There is a slight delay from the time you tap screenshot to the time it actually takes it.

[REQ] Black Notification Bar for eclairOG rom

I was just wondering if any themer out there could make a simple black bar for eclairOG v1.11(preferrably somewhat glossy) with a round battery icon (used in MAT-Theme, I believe its made by kspec?)
A lot of people have been asking for a black bar in the thread so I figured id try to get a themer's attention. Thank you!
To make things easier for the theme devs heres the link to the ROM
EclairOG:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620673
and this is the theme that contains the notification bar and battery icon, id like. Thanks!
MAT-Theme:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5139150#post5139150
heres a screenshot of it:
OOhhh yes...Desperatly waiting for this
i am too, I really want it. i have really basic knowledge about theming, ive been trying to get it done myself, but all i get are bootloops...lol
I really hope someone does this haha. or a full sense/hero theme for eclair

Id be happy enough with just the black bar. I managed to modify the framework-res.apk a lil bit but all it flashed was the battery, pulldown menu and the lil network icons, but the bar still comes up white even though i used the black images from the MAT theme, eclair is so much different than donut when it comes to theming, im not asking for much, just the black bar so hopefully someone will do it, because a ton of people are asking for it on the ROMs thread.

yaa i assume it will come sooner or later, hopefully sooner.
In my opinion, i bet bbuchacher will be the first to port one to his eclair ROM, since he did so with his Super D roms

I haven't tested it. I really don't feel like spending the 30 minutes or so to set my unused G1(s) up to test it out, so nandroid before trying it.
It has the pull down, notification bar icons, and status bar from the MAT theme (all credit to the creators of the images used).
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/simple_black_bar.zip
There are the images I used for it along with the steps I used for colorChangev3.jar based on what the images looked like.
You have to change statusbar_background.png to statusbar_background.9.png for the status bar to show up black.

you sir, are EPIC! thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I flashed it, only the text turns white, but i found out why. In 2.1 roms, the system icons are no longer located in drawable. theyve been moved to drawable-mdpi. so i think if i move your images to mdpi itll work. ah, i didnt realize that statusbar_background had to be converted to a 9.png. Thanks this has been a great learning experience for me. Ive been fumbling around with the files and images all day and all of last night trying to get it to work. I think i can fix it myself. when I do finish, ill post it here and credit you and the original themer for MAT. Thank you very very much!

[BlackBar Mod - eclairOG1.0-1.2]
I DO NOT take any credit for this.
The notification bar is from MAT Theme made by matata86
and was ported over to eclairOG by david1171
UPDATED!!!! - I found some files that were in the wrong folder, and 3 images that were missing. I moved and restored the proper files into the right places. GTalk no longer force closes, no slowdown, nothing. Everything should run fine now!
Screenshots:
Installation:
-Make sure you have no widgets on any of your home screens before flashing
-Boot into Recovery and flash normally as you would any other theme
-No Need to Wipe anything (If you really really wanna be safe, wipe dalvik, but you shouldnt need to)
DOWNLOAD HERE!!!
Oh, and i might make a couple more versions and use battery icons from other themes on xda. Thanks again david1171 for porting the black bar to eclairOG!
Nice work.
love that battery icon...
Just flashed it and running good so far
EDIT: Got the feeling, that it slows down the phone a bit...
Does your Beautiful weather widget has a transparent background?

no its just the normal semi transparent gradient black background, but because theres a black wallpaper behind it, it looks almost invisible.

for some reason when I install the notification bar I get a force close when I open a chat on gtalk

Oh well, I was going to PM you for it. I think I know how to make it transparent, but I think the application needs to be resigned after replacing PNGs coz it didn't install. I tried signing made easy, but couldn't figure out how to make update-script.

yeah it needs to be resigned. I use stericsons autosign.bat file.
Check out the zip file i attached and look in META-INF < com < google < android < update-script and open it with Wordpad and you should get an idea of those work. theyre very simple. im not at my comp right now so i cant explain much about them right now.
and to anyone having problems with the black bar, ill see if i can find anything wrong with it and fix it.

[MM] Remove Clock from Status Bar

Ok, hearing about the possibility of burn in on the screen of my brand new phone broke my heart. But it doesn't have to be that way. I usually have either Beautiful Widgets or Weather Widgets on my home screen so I don't need to have another clock in the status bar. So I removed it. (The burn in that has been reported to be from the AM/PM.
OK, now for a couple pre-requisites:
Obviously you must be rooted.
Download Metamorph from the market.
Please have Clockwork recovery installed and a backup made.
You MUST BE deodexed first. You will boot loop or worse if you are not. Here is a link (credit Frostman89) to download a deodexed update.zip for your phone. Please, read this.
Download the file and put in on your sdcard in the AndroidThemes folder.
Open metamorph and select unzip new theme.
Click on services.jar when that is done extracting, and it will ask you to reboot when it's done.
Be very very patient, it will likely take a long time to reboot. This might also include seeing the lockscreen for a second and continuing back at the bootanimation once. (It did for me)
After that, enjoy your new clock!!! err, lack of clock!
As usual I am not responsible for what you do to your phone, all releases are tested but there are multiple configurations that can give you problems. You are applying this at your own risk, I may help you if you have problems but don't blame me if you brick your device. Thanks

Or you could just remove it that's what I did.
Seriously, I knew how to do it so figured I'd give people the option. Not every one likes the same thing.
I wish there was just a way to remove the am/pm without having the twenty four hour clock, but as far as I know there isn't. Most of the time...except saturdays and early sunday morning I know what side if the day I'm on.

Would it be easy to remove the clock totally from a stock rom with root. I don't like Deodexed, but I hate having the clock up there. Good work though.

xUltimate is what I used in the past. It worked to deodex so may work to remove clock too..

Awesome! Thank you for this! And thank you for the detailed instructions, esp regarding having to be deodexed.
This is exactly what I was going to request for the exact reason.
One question... would I be able to apply the accurate battery back on top of this, or does another theme have to be made?
You can apply the battery mod and any themes as long as they don't replace the services.jar. I have both working right now.

[Q] Tailoring a theme

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985053
Would it be possible to take the them from this and put it on Serendipity?
If so could someone give me the easiest way of doing this?
Edit: I know how to move over images and stuff. but i'm not quite sure how to edit xmls and any other stuff like .jar files.
i can probably port most of it over for ya. what serendipity are you running?
I'm running 6.2 right now. I'm pretty sure if you told me what you did I could probably figure out how to do it, and maintain it from version to version.
I would have used the theme porter but the theme i want is actually the leaked Gingerbread ROM from Samsung. So everything would have to be done manually.
so do you just want it took look like that theme? Because you could just use 7zip to transfer all the png's to the framework and twframework

That I know how to do but there are other things like the status bar and dropdown that are controlled by XML and .jar, and my knowledge doesn't go that far.
the status bar and dropdown are in both the tw and framework.res files bud. You're just talking about the icons and bottom bar and all that right???
is this something that you are trying to change? because all of that is in tw and framework.res

hopefully this willl be what you were looking for. It's hard to know unless i'm actually running the rom. not in the mood for flashing today for once otherwise i would. try these out and let me know if they're what you want. use root explorer and drop the in system/framework
Not sure if i changed the notification text color. oh yeah! i didn't change the battery icons yet because the one from serendipity it totally different form the bezke theme but i'm working on it as i type this.

See thats what kinda stuff I was talking about not being able to do. I know that you have to decompile the APK to get to the XMLs in resourses.arsc and then recompile it.
exactly. but im thinking if one of his previous roms had the text that maybe it could be as easy as just switching the two. im confirming that right now with someone who knows all about this.

i mean tutorials are the way a lot of us got going, or really got into it
basically though, just start by using 7zip to take apart the frameworks from another theme and look through the drawable-hdpi or hdpi-4 folders and see the changed images
its a lot to take in though really...not something that can be picked up in a week or something...but dont get discouraged

i don't think you understand the concept of a tutorial
to bo honest i dont think i do...thats why im trying to learn
You really just have to jump in. I use winrar instead of 7zip . But to start, open up a theme that already works for the fascinate ...and just look at the folder tree and understand where everything is ... after that, Start replacing images. XML editing is going to take a tutorial, but there is a lot you can do before you take that step. It takes time ... and patience. Pretty much just jump in .you have an advantage being that this phone is so easy to recover if something goes wrong. It is addictive though ... be warned. The theme I'm working on has consumed my life almost haha.

The point of a tutorial is to show you what to do. So you should give them a shot instead of writing them off.

while i *should* update my tutorial to include more of the basic stuff, the reason most of it focuses on the more advanced xml/.9 things is because in december/january that seemed to be the most pressing issue for many.
i was getting dozens of pms a day on androidforums/xda/irc with many of the same questions, and while i was trying to be helpful and respond it was getting to be a bit overwhelming....so i figured id answer the most commonly asked things first and work back from there...but then dl30 dropped, then eb01 and i got tied up by porting the themes/ports i maintained.
now that im working on more detailed themes that takes up most of my android time...but ill see what i can do about updating the tutorial
Thank u man...sorry for being such a noon :/

So is it really hard to combine elements from different themes to make a new theme? There are several different ones that I love parts of, but I would like to be able to pick and choose and piece one together...
Like for instance, I like somebody the dark themes, but I don't always like plain toggle buttons, and I love the stock gingerbread statusbar with the little vertical battery meter that has the percent in it.... some themes I did the transparent pull down, etc....
I'd like to be able to mix n match
How hard is it to do that?

Is there certain parts of Themes that you should not try to copy over to other themes?
are most APK's ok to copy from one theme to another? I have many themes that i really like alot and then i found some areas of one theme i like but would like this or that from another. But overall i give you all alot of credit as you all do some amazing work!!!! THank you all

[Q] Can i edit a theme apk?

I'm loving Android.
Oooh, so much.
Even more I'm loving the amount of possible customization we're given from Cyanogenmod!!
Which takes me now to theming.
Ok, so we all like it and we all love to make our minis look like they're not that mini.
I've found a very valid theme and I'm loving it to bits, but I just can't cope with the images shown during calls.
Yeah, cause apparently we use mobile phones to call people. Sometimes.
So, i went, extracted the theme apk, found the files i've been tch-tch-ing about, edited them with photoshop (didn't even bother to make anything too fancy, just some diagonal 1px stripes over a background colour plus a black gradient fading it all to black) and put them back in the apk with 7zip.
...And of course the installer spat it back in my face.
I knew it wasn't going to be that easy and i seriously only have to change 4 pngs from the whole theme (i'm fine with everything else!), so I wouldn't really want to go and make a whole new theme by myself (maybe later one day?).
So, is there a way for me to overcome this heartbreaking problem and make my life ABSOLUTELY perfect?
Thank you guys in advance, you seriously rock our android world and i'll throw in a strawberry cheesecake if you manage to give me any advices.
Peace

You guys are BEAUTIFUL!
Silly stupid me. Never thought it all came down to signing the thing.
I just realized i don't have any strawberry cheesecakes with me.
Would a strawberry shortcake be ok instead?

Thanks again buddies.
Also, in the end i used "one click signer".

Now, managed to install the apk and everything. Does anybody know though why dialer would fc after i edited the call background pngs?
I also edited some other parts of the theme but they don't seem to be giving me any problems.
Do i have to save them in some specific format? After i edited them in photoshop i saved them as indexed but i did notice they were slightly bigger than the source files...
Never mind. A reboot solved the problem. Have to say, i'm pretty happy now.
Thanks once more buddies!
