Black Status Bar: Ask All Questions Here

If you have any questions regarding my Black Status Bar Mod (Find it here), I have created a thread in which I can answer. The Black Bar Mod is for CyanogenMOD, but if there are requests for some other ROMs, please let me know.

just a random question: is there a tool that allows me to create my own bar without creating a whole theme? i want a bar that combines the elements of several different ones from diff ROMs..

Doc, are you gonna update your mod with Anderweb's new froyo launcher?

Login Screen disappears.
My login screen disappears after flashing the CM5.07 .zip file. Just to let you know. However i think i was supposed to metamorph the theme....

this is more of a request, but could u make a flashable bar for CM5.0.7test6? like the one in BlueDark? this is what it looks like:

That is just the bar from my old Blue Haze theme.

ok.. right now i'm running Test6 with SuperBad1.2.5.. can i flash the BlueDark over that to get the bar? furthermore, will the launcher stay the same? i really like the smooth launcher in SuperBad

Make a metamorph with the status bar images in framework-res, then in CM5.0.7 test 7 you can change the text color in the status bar via spare parts.

in the new spareparts where we select text colors. what does the "SPN & PLMN" labels refer too?

The Blackbar is now a Metamorph so updates for every version are no longer needed. Just download Metamorph & install.

[Q] How do you theme Captivate notification bar?

I have JI6 (unofficial froyo) version of Captivate (i897)...
I like to theme the notification bar (Transparent, icons, etc.) without any ROM.
I have tried Cognition ROM, but random shutdown was killing me...
So, anyone know how?
by SDK/ADB, root manager, metromorph, Odin, or whatever you can do - THAT WORKS!!!

It depends on what you want and where you want it. Certain changes require changes to the xml codebehind and some do not. It is not as easy as it may seem for the average user.

You have to use winrar to open the theme or rom you are using.go to the twframework-res.apk.open that DO NOT UN ZIP ANYTHING!! then look for status bar background.9 drag and drop onto desk top or folder whatever then edit in photoshop or whatever you have and put back save and put it back in the folder.If I can get by a computer today there is thread out the will tell you do to do it that is big help.I you have some problems I can do some editing for you but would have to wait until I get home I am out of town.oh and when you put the edit status backgroung.9 back into the zip file make sure it is stored and compressed

Along this same line of questioning........
All I want to do is remove the transparency from the notification drop down in my current rom / theme. Is there a single value in an xml file to adjust this feature?

It's a .png that you'll need to change the opacity of.

Thanks for the thread been looking for something like that but someone psoted somethign saying that you had to use a cpativate rom for it because the i9000 roms have different file types in them

Now there is theme kitchen, upload a apk and you can apply themes. Then after some time, you get a new apk in a cwm flashable zip.
Edit, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829

[Q] Is there any SGS i9000 ROM (stock or custom) without clock in the status-bar?

I need a help. Could someone tell me where can I find a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 without the clock in the status bar? I found some threads about how can I get rid of the clock in the status bar but I can`t really do that. Every time I am flashing the file the phone will not reboot till the end and vibrating. I tried on many ROMs (stock and custom) but was not successful? Help please

Clock as in what sort of clock round clockface or the stock android digital time .
jje

Stock Android digital clock. Sorry for not being precise in formulation.

You don't need a special rom for that. There are themes in the Themes and Apps forum which don't have the clock. Black Android comes to mind...

Thanks. The Black Android is not working. It makes dialer and other apps disappear but clock is there forever. Others the same. I have used the flash files that can be found on XDA but the phone will not reboot (vibrating).

Why a developers of custom ROMs do not want to exclude the stock Android clock in status bar? Is it that hard or there is only me who do not want to have a double clock when looking on the screen? Maybe someone did it already but I can`t find it?

Very sad. Nobody knows what ROM can it be? :-(

every Rom has the Clock...
because it only could be in the same colour as the status bar to make it disaper.. D
to remove it completly would be very hard..

Someone made a standalone mod to disable the clock in the status bar.
I remember trying it out, then reverting because i actually wanted to see the time while apps were in the foreground.
Check the Themes & Apps section.

Thanks to "azzledazzle" for help and to all XDA developers and users.
"azzledazzle" gave me the file for JPY ROM.
This is step by step manual (partly copy-paste): This will work only for JPY ROMs
First of all you need to be rooted and deodexed.... (for that I used http://romkitchen.org/ Thanks to DocRambone, Stefunel, and all others. Sorry if did not mantioned others names. I am not a proffesional and do not want to offend someone from developers). How to install custom ROM you can find in XDA forum as I did.
Let`s continue....
1) extract the JPY_services_no_clock.zip
2) put the 'services.jar' on the root of your sd card...
3) Open up root explorer (free in market, but I did it with Super Manager)
4) go to sd card and copy the 'services.jar'
5) go into /system/framework and paste the 'services.jar' (also at the top of root explorer make sure you are mounted (R/W) if using Super Manager (turn on root access from settings of the Super Manager).
6) reboot the phone and that should be it....
Thanks again to all developers and users.

would this work with JS7?

If yes, follow same link at post#2 to flash LQ1 via PC Odin.
That will remove the cwm and root.

no no no.. I don't mean to remove CWM.. that's stored in the external SD...
I. want to maybe NOT use the blue theme.
how do I go back to the regular theme and not the blue one....
Thanks...

Do you have the original LQ1 SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk?
If yes,
- Use root explorer
- mount as rw at top left
- paste the SystemUI.apk at system/app
- After paste
- Press and hold that apk
- change permission to rw-r--r--
- framework-res.apk paste at system/framework
- it will freeze
- Force reboot with button combo (Power+Vol Up)
- Done
Do you have Nandroid backup before you flash this theme?
If yes,
- boot to recovery
- go to advance menu
- back up and restore
- restore.
Will restore to last you had back up.
or go to advance restore
- restore system
- done
If no Nandroid,
- Download the official LQ1
- Use mobile odin
- Open file and target to the LQ1.tar
- flash it
- done
Hope it help and happy flashing

thanks astrix.. I will have to do a reflash..
as I still haven't learned how to do a nandriod back up...
how's LQ2 is that worth flashing?
thanks again

[Q] Battery % Icon in UI?

Is anyone aware of a System UI mod to add battery percentage to the indicator for the First, without the need to install a secondary app?

A quick update:
Found the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store which does a very good job. Along with a large selection of some easy to use pull-down switches in the Notification Bar is a battery icon showing %. Actually very nice.
However, not being exactly what I was looking for I tried to use the OG Battery Icon Mod from XDA with my (mostly) stock (Odexed) ROM. It was unsuccessful.
Thinking it might be a problem with the Odexed ROM, I flashed CWM Recovery to replace my previous TWRP Recovery (for some reason the DeOdexed ROM des not flash with TWRP) and then flashed JMZ's DeOdexed v1.08 ROM. Unfortunately, I ended up the same failure when running the OGBattery Mod Tool (the tool was unable to download the systemui.apk).
Therefore, so far I am unable to make the UI modification, but am pleased to find the Notification Toggle App -- and with some help from Titanium Backup my phone is back where I wanted it, now running a DeOdexed ROM. I went back to TWRP Recovery. I have CWM on my A500 tablet, but TWRP just seems easier on the First.

You can use UOT kitchen. Just Google it. If you feel adventurous you can download my sense ROM and pull the diff battery mods I have there and push them to your device. All you need is systemui.apk. but this will only work if you are on a deodex ro.

Feeling adventurous, I downloaded your sense ROM & extracted it. In systemui.apk I see there are two (apparently duplicated) res folders and the sub-folders/files in res are also duplicated. Is this an error in the build or necessary as place-holders of sone kind. I thought I might try to replace the res folder in the deodexed ROM with this one, but it concerned me.

Thank you for the response. I couldn't figure out how to attach here, so I posted a screenshot of the extracted systemui.apk from your Sense ROM at dev-host: http://d-h.st/VOr
Note that there are duplicate res folders. Also, in the res folders many of the sub-folders and: files also have duplicates, prompting my question. --Larry

@jmk : After the confusion (to me) I tried a couple of more things:
1. Replaced systemui.apk in stock ROM with the systemui.apk from your Sense ROM. That did give me a Sense horizontal battery with %, but was too small to see. I was hoping for the percent circle.
2. I used UOT Kitchen to attempt to make the modifcation, but Kitchen returned a SHTF error, so no results yet.

Success!
I loaded & set up JMZ's Sense ROM with the icons I wanted, then copied systemUI.apk to the sdcard. After restoring my "stock" ROM I renamed the systemUI.apk in /system, then copied the one from the sdcard to /system & reset the permissions. I now have my desired battery icons!
@ jMZ: Thank you for the guidance. --Larry
