@hshah,

OK...I couldn't really get the statusbar handle to close right, so I modified another one that I had on hand and made it pretty thin :D Hope it works for you. Also, the statusbar will be pitch black.

thin_handle-SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
Dude, that looks amazing! Well done! I like the thin handle with the hint of blue. I have attached some screen shots for your post and I think you should put the latest version in the zip.

Good deal, thanks for bearing with me there for a minute. I actually have already uploaded corrected black statusbar versions for KE2, KE7, and KE7-blue as well as updated the op :)

But I didn't include the version with the thinner handle. I guess I'll put that one there too with your screenshot so folks can see it.

Don't know if you've seen my transparent markets before, but I think I might try to work a little on the trans-blue so that the blue better matches with this. I'm not a big fan usually of too much transparency, but I do really like the transparent market. It would work great with your darker background. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
That looks nice. Been wanting a transparent blind.

*Is there a version with the normal sized status bar pulldown and any numbered battery? (your custom blue ones ideally)*

edit : scrap that i just read youre last post.

also pendo are you familiar with adding crt animation to frameworks and even the

overscroll glow?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:

Not really bothered by it, but thought I ought to mention it :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LadFromWales85:
Just applied your blue icons with transparent drawer, looks awesome! Though I am getting a thin blue line down the right hand side when pulling down the notifications...likely as I use a lower DPI, 192.

Any way this can be fixed? :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll look into it. That's the kind of feedback I like, cause, honestly I'm as well heeled in the theming department as a lot of guys here, and could use the feedback. Also I've tried to install as best I can the equivalent theme on my N1 and I've already found several things that I think need a little be of tweaking, mostly with color matching. But I'll add this to the list.

hm...anyway you can get a screenshot of it? Is is only when it's in motion, or is it there after it's in the full down position? I'm not seing anything like that on my N1, but I'll look at a couple things just to see if I notice something strange.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Furbious:
For us noobs just starting this kind of thing, can someone answer a quick question for me?

I've got adb installed and I can connect to the device, etc - but for some reason, it doesn't seem to find the shell commands.

So, when I do:

adb shell stop

I get:

stop: not found

I'm using the KE7 villainrom, busybox is installed, etc. Any pointers on what I'm missing?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LadFromWales85:
Hi pendo, taken a screenshot, here:

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/b7pp_A5kDp5HZ04kBE0TtNjKMy2NTkd_2tCh-URRa0M?feat=directlink

The blue line on the right is there while in motion and when complete

Totally unrelated as it happens even at stock with the notification pulldown buttons, the text for Vibration and Auto rotation draw lower and overlap the indicator. Could you correct that, or even remove the text entirely, allowing more space for notifications!

The thin-ness of the drag bar at the bottom of the notification pane is too thin to easily grab at lower DPI's..not too much of a problem, but how about having it the same thickness as the status bar...I think that's how it is normally? I'd use your other bar but don't like the 'notifications' text on it.

Thanks for your mod, though, first mod to my SGSII so far!

Oh, ROM is stock KE7 with Chainfire's kernel.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Hey Pendo. I don't have this phone or anything. Just wanted to spam your thread! You're a cool dude!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
hm...that blue line is a strange one. I can't think of what it would be off the top of my head. The issue with the quickpanel toggles though I at least have a couple idea where to look. So what is this 192 dpi thing you've mentioned? There's a choice of what resolution you can run on the phone?

Hey, I don't have the phone either! Lol. :D

But it's presently the top candidate for my N1replacement successor. (replacement is the wrong word, don't think anything could replace it)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poipen:
is it a way to replays top bar to annother top bar? i like to have the sens top bar.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Guys, I'm still working on things for the blue theme, just been busy at work. I've been tweaking my TransBlue Market to better match the blues in the GS2. I've remade the buttons which are giving me a little trouble getting the stretchable areas and text to line up right. Hopefully it'll come together soon. :)

Yes, I'll try that out as well. Actually, I'm planning on mixing in some of the sense icons for the menu and such.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] maedox:
Very nice. I applied the KE2 black AOSP on stock KE2.

Are you able to make a version with the toggle swiches/icons removed or resized a lot smaller?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LadFromWales85:
The DPI can be changed in /system/build.prop

Lowering the DPI makes (most) things smaller, so you can fit more on the screen. For example, the icons on ADW/Launcher Pro get smaller allowing for more than 4 rows. The text in the menus is smaller, allowing for more entries to be displayed at once, and no sidescrolling. More tweets in Plume. More webpage on browser, though the text can get very small...etc etc

Going back to 240dpi makes everything look massive!

Thank you for looking into the issue, though :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
If you need someone to test then give me a shout. I'll drop you my email address via PM :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I actually did a little bit of searching the other day and saw reference to that, but also saw that sometimes it doesn't work right. Interesting for sure, although I don't need anything smaller on my N1 screen, lol.

OK, so I've made some changes to the blue themed framework-res and SystemUI for anyone to try if they'd like. It hasn't been "proofread" so to say as I still don't have access to this phone, so I'm looking for feedback/screenshots for issues. In particular, look for text color/background mismatches as I've been working on this too long without a break, lol.

These are for KE7.

blue-v2 framework-res.apk

blue-v2 SystemUI.apk

And one more for you all. This is actually what took up most of my time over the last few days. Those of you familiar with my Transparent Markets will probably notice the slight change in the blue header to better match the other work (hopefully), but there are several small detail changes that were just very hard for me to get right. I'm sure someone else could've done these changes much faster, but I'm still learning this stuff. :) I've tested it fairly thoroughly although I don't have access to all the pages here in my locale. I've made every attempt to theme into every little nook and cranny that I can. Hope you enjoy :)

(This is the first post for this updated release, btw)

Market2.3.6-TransBlue_v2.2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davey.tran:
I keep getting crashes/forcecloses/bootloops using root explorer to copy the files

Using busy box i copied the framework apks over to the root address and changed the permissions to rww,r,r and then copied them into the framework folder and replaced the current ones. I then did the same with systemUI and but then before i could finish copying or begin copying , i started getting force closes and then when i restarted and it crashed again.

But everytime i restart the phone to see if it would suddenly work i can see the blue themed icons on the status bar while everything is force closing on me. They look so awesome and make me want to restore my rom and just try again.

Any reason for this, im sure im doing something wrong. Thanks for the really simple but nice theme *thumbs up*

Oh forgot to mention i'm in villian rom v1.1 with CF root 3.6 kernel
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
First off thanks for the compliment.:)

I suppose I should've mentioned this again, but that SystemUI is deodexed. So in addition to pushing it to /system/app you also need to remove SystemUI.odex.

Just looked up the rom and it says it's deodexed so that shouldn't be the problem. He mentions that it's "fully resigned" and I'm a little unsure what he means by that. Does the framework-res file work ok on it's own?

esk02k where are you?? Wanna get your thoughts on my new Market changes :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DinarQ8:
Hi

please i want (Translucent Statusbar w/AOSP icons - and - AOSP black statusbar (same icons as above, but no translucent background)

i one file
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
I'm here mate. Gonna test it now. I'll let you know my thoughts.

Haven't had much luck getting older versions of your market to work,

Don't know why, it just didn't show up after a restart.

Edit : still not having much luck, market is green after a restart.

its definitely a problem on my side because the same flashable zip

Works on my desire.

edit 2 : I got it working, just uninstalled the updates and it was blue. needed a restart to update the icon but after that perfect.

Thoughts : Very nice! you got the blue shade just right, thanks for investing the extra time i know it takes alot of trial and error.

really like the new buttons as well, nice and juicy. Im gonna whip you up some screenshots in a mo.

Thanks for this!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
That's right you've been putting it in your own zip to flash. I'm telling you adb is the way to do it. You have adb running right? First check that you don't have vending installed in /data/app. With your root explorer, navigate to /data/app and delete com.android.vending-1.apk if it's there. Then:

adb root
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb shell start

Works everytime for me.

edit:

Lol...I see you got it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
I copied the new Market over to /system/app/ and still see the green Market :(

/Edit:

I found a Vending.apk in /system/app and /data/app so have renamed both of them but my phone still thinks it is installed somewhere :(

/Edit 2:

Right, got it working. After doing the above I copied the Vending.apk into /data/app and only then did it work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks :)

Yes it does take a bit of trial and error on that dang header, lol. But that wasn't what took so long. It was little stuff. First I had a difficult time getting the 9patch area just right on the buttons so they'd look ok in the various layouts. Also, check out the settings page. Notice the dropdown boxes are themed now, as well as the check boxes and radio buttons. (although I just noticed I missed theming the radio buttons in the popup for payment methods) That's normally all drawn using resources in framework-res. Also, I built a new horizontal progress bar with 18 animation frames.

Basically the goal is to have control over all theming aspects, so that it looks the same on every device no matter what theme exists on the device itself. Probably won't be able to achieve that 100% but I did get a little closer with this update :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
you shouldn't see Vending.apk in /data/app. Any entries in /data/app should look like "com.android.vending-1.apk" (could have a different number).

Try going into settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll down to market then press "uninstall updates." That actually does the same thing as deleting com.androi.vending-1.apk.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
It was com.android.vending-1.apk and I deleted that, and put your Vending.apk in the same folder. It works now. Uploading some screenshots :)

I'm a little confused by what you're asking.:o I have links for versions with and without a translucent status bar.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks, bro.

One thing I'm not sure about is the full screen theme I made it. I like the way it looks, but I hate losing access to my statusbar.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
Lol! If you hadn't mentioned that I would not have noticed. But now I miss the notification bar :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Hehe me neither. Its a hard choice because it looks so damn clean

Without the status bar. Hmm... Lets try it for a while like this, the home

button is only an inch away at any moment anyway.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
But I want to be able to see the download arrow once a download starts :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, leave it to me to be nit-picky. We're all our own worst critics anyway. I wonder how difficult it'd be to add a setting for that....might look into that.

There's a couple of pages that will still show the statusbar actually and it's becuase of the same reason that I can't make them transparent. The pages are the flag content page, and the full screen user reviews page.

The download arrow's not as cool as my new horizontal progress bar :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davey.tran:
I just tried copying just the framework apk and changed permissions as usual and everything force closed again once i tried to close root explorer. So theres something conflicting in the framework apk file.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK, thanks. I probably was a little agressive with a few changes then. I'll work on it again and repost. Sorry I haven't replied quicker, but work along with summer classes have really taken a bite out of my free time lately :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davey.tran:
Actually I dont think it's your fault. Because on another thread with a dialer theme, they has a separate zip file for villain rom and a separate file for stock roms.

So maybe the framework file in villain rom is slightly different and you just have to apply your theme to it separately.

About KE8

Hi,

Been using Litening Rom 1.3 for a couple of days now, and I've just checked the beautiful work here! But, as you surely know, this one is KE8.

Will there be a K8 version of those mods ?

Thanks and keep up the good work :D

NB : Didn't tried it yet, but may the KE7 version be compatible ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] /dev/null/:
hello, thank you very much for this mod

could you make a framework with stock gingerbread battery icon and the percentage on the left with % symbol? (like iphone)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] porkchop8:
i used the files on post #43. What i found was in WIFI mode, the signal bar is in blue. When i turn WIFI off, the signal bar goes back to white. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
for whatever reason when I try to run the commands above my windows cmd window says "access denied" when I try to run the command <adb remount>. I have a stock kernel with stock KE7 ROM with root achieved from the insecure kernel and super one click. Should I just flash the CWM kernel instead? (Busybox installed says I'm rooted, plus I have a few rooted apps installed)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Appologies all as I've been away for the last few days and not had regular internet access except for when I was dead dog tired and just wanted to sleep :o

To add to this when I did get back, my hard drive has given me the fits and I'm presently in the process of making another full backup before I start messing with the drive too much. Should be 100% back in business by the end of the weekend though.

As you might guess given the above, I was not aware of a KE8. As soon as I'm back online with my dev rig, I'll attend to that. It is possible that KE7 is compatible, easiest way to tell would be just to try it out. I've seen it go both ways several times across varying roms from cyanogen to aosp based as well as sense.

For my skill level, I would probably only be able to do that with a drawable. I know there's ways to do it in code, like the way MIUI used to before gingerbread, and cyanogen as well but I don't know to do that. Another thing is I would imagine that the given slot of 25dip (38 pixels on this phone) might not be wide enough to accommodate an image and number beside it.

Probably not something I'll likely have much time to look into with all the other stuff I'm getting late on updating :o

The signal bars (wifi as well as 3G) are grey unless you have a google account and are actively connected to google services. Then they turn green (or in this case I've made them blue :))

Are you able to run any adb commands? Also, try to run "adb root" make sure you watch the screen on your phone because there should be a popup from superuser to allow root.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] porkchop8:
I always turn off my wifi and 3g when not needed. So the signal bar becomes grey. I was hoping you could make it blue. Other suggestions for a complete blue theme:

- time to be blue

- power saving icon to be blue

- the notification to be blue. Currently its white

- menu is sometimes black and hard to see (not sure if this is part of your theme)

Otherwise, this is an awesome theme. Was thinking of flashing to litepro to get the blue theme but what youve done is awesome.

Thumbs up and many thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Is it possible to make the signal bars color to Green instead of Grey? And also is there any chance to move it at the very left of the status bar like many phones? A simple mod is much preferred (via CWM) :)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
Hi Pendo,

install your SystemUI.apk transparent on a KE8 rom and it works !!!!

tks again ....

hope that this info is usefull for all
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Ah, I see. Yes it would be simple to make them blue, just duplicate all of the signal strengths that have "fully" in their name and then rename them without "fully." That would replace the grey ones with blue. On the power saving icon, I guess I'm not sure what that one is. I still don't have access to my drive where I can go poking around to look for it either. (roughly 1/3 of the way done copying the drive)

It's been a while since I've changed the color of the clock, last time was early froyo release, so I'd have to look and see if the color change is done the same way. It'd be in SystemUI though now instead of services. One thing I'll caution you on though...and I speak from experience, lol, that one can easily overdo a color. I did this myself last year..just got lost in the details and one day I took a step back and realized it was just too much. Especially in the statusbar. Honestly, in my opinion making the clock blue would get into that territory.;)

As far as the menu background, no I don't intend to have anything hard to read. That's the area that I specifically needed reports on as that largely controlled by styles.xml. I will definitely take a look at this when I'm back up and running with my data. (looks like I'm about 1/3 of the way through copying the hd. Must start doing incrementals, lol)

I found by searching that adb can only run as root on an insecure kernel:confused: wtf, that's something I would've added to the first post in big letters lol. Nonetheless I got it working, now I can start theming framework-res to my liking =D That awful black statusbar has got to go, lol. Am I doing something wrong, or is it true that adb only works on insecure kernels?

Hi....any1 knows if work on XWKF1 build? :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Whew!...Finally back on my system. Ended up running fsck_hfs -ypr twice (and each instance it runs 3 times itself) and after that DiskWarrior was able to get me back to life. Yay!

Between homework and stuff here, I'm absolutely buried though so bear with me as I try to catch back up a bit. :o

Back when MIUI first surfaced all of the builds were using an insecure boot.img In order to have adb remount available we had to run "adb root" at which time the Superuser app on the phone would show the popup allowing you to grant root. I was under the impression that it worked the same here.

Going forward I will start putting these in a flashable zip. Right now I've got a couple hours of free time, so once I finish a few follow up posts, and reply to pm's I'll start working through some of this.

Someone mentioned earlier about theres a K8 out now.....is that the best place to pick back up, or are most of you all still with K7?

For the charging script the color should start with a red "fill area" until you reach 15% charge level. At that point, the starting png in the animation sequence will be orange. Then once you hit 28% charge level, they'll all be blue.

There's got to be something missing. You are able to use Root Explorer to mount system as r/w, right? Try doing that first with root explorer, then perform the adb commands in terminal.
