There are two edits in smali for transparency. One for the taskbar and one for the curtain or dropdown. Both are in statusBarService.smali.

As steal said then you make all the text color changes. I have a link in my first post that explains in details all the text changes
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I'm on phone right now but I mentioned how I would normally changed the text color. I didn't think there were many changes other than some smali coding stuff from Sense 2.1 to 3.0 but I could be wrong. I have to do a transpancy mod and see what's what now. :)

I like transparent titlebar because I like when mods match. So if I have a transparent rosie, I like the titlebar to be transparent too. Maybe it's a girl thing. ;)

To each his or her own.

I love this discussion though.

Well i made the text backgrounds transparent to in the status bar dropdown so there are quite a few text colors that need to be changed.

got a quick question. any way to have metamorphs stick on /data/app installed apps or do you still need to move them to /system/app first?
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Not with metamorph because it opens apk up which breaks the signature so android wont except it. But if you try zipthemer it makes you a flashable zip, which you can flash. It should work in data/app but if not we learned something new. Give it shot. Its in market. It uses same format as metamorph.

Thought I'd pick a genius or two's brain here, since I have absolutely no idea where to post this. Redirection to another site/thread is welcome. :)

Sweeterhome beta is a fave of my friend's. The last 'beta' release for eclair or forward was Jan 2011. The app goes into "Your version has expired, download the latest beta" at the 30 day mark. There is nothing newer. This is a free app and dev seems to have abandoned the effort/site. She wants me to edit the apk to kill the pop-up, which may or may not in and of itself be causing conflicts and crashes. The only thing I've found in the apk are 4 lines in the public and strings files referring to expiring. Deleting those seems like a partial solution...is there something else I should be looking for before I try to compile and send it to her? TIA :D

edit: major error on re-compile when I tried that. Figures. This is WAY beyond my depth anyway lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
That would be in smali somewhere. Search the whole app for the public ids of those strings. That should show you where the code is in smali
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Yeah so now I'm getting this when I try to decompile framework-res:

Always something new. :cool:

The question is why?
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
try unzipping the apk. see if the pngs are there in the unzipped apk. if they are, just copy them into their respective places in your new apk. if not, you've got a bad apk on your hands :o
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I think I have a bad apk. :eek:

When pre-decompile, I have about 932 pngs in the apk. When I decompile, I get that error message then I end up with less than 900 compiled successfully.

I might have to grab those from a stock apk or something. Aaaaaaah! Lol.

Thanks. :)

Hello theme friends. I'm working on trying to bring miui control extended settings to cm7.

I have lots of questions. First I modded the **** outta xml and successfully centered clock and date. Also switched icons to left justified in statbar, and changed their order to left justified. It's pretty dope.

But, my normal notification icons (i think) are no longer visible.

So, who wants to look at my statusbar xml and maybe help me figure it out.

I posted screens in project evergreen thread so you can see. The one without carrier name (yes I did that too ;)) is the one I'm having the issue with.

I love this thread!
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
What's happening is you moving the start point of the clock left_center but the end point is still right justified inturn covering up the rest of the icons. Make a start and end point for the clock and that should work. I'm not home or ide just post the xml we modded. So try that and if you have any issues ill help you out tommorow, I'm out with the wifey right now.

I *think* this question is for fern.

Anyway, so in cm7 still, I added carrier name to the statusbar like in miui. BUT if I could change the ID to call an image instead of the operator name, I'd be super stoked. So, how does one rewrite (and where) a text call for an image call?

Would it be in an xml or smali, id's, etc?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
You mean the pulldown where Verizon goes right?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
yes and no. I'm on cm7 right now, and have modded the statusbar to show carrier name. I assume it calls the name from the same place as the dropdown, but not sure. I am hoping to mod the statusbar part specifically and only, not everyplace it shows... Hope you can help.

EDIT: I guess anything would be a step in the right direction, so if I can change it and it applies to everywhere, that's cool too :)
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Can you post ac screen with the v area you want to mod?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
I'm not sure this is how to do that, but you would need to create the image in drawable-hdpi then where you added the lines for carrier change @id:/"carrier" to @drawable:/imagename.png I think fern could verify or shoot down, I never did it so I'm not exactly sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
what i did was make the original carrier iq invisible and then i add a string for my image resource. at that point you can play with the background and use a coded background or image

So sorry have been obsessed with porting Zues mod to my ics Rom.

So you want to layer an image on the statusbar where the text is?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
if you mean add an image INTO the statbar png, then no. If you mean figure out where it calls carrrier name from, and change that to an image, then yes, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
lol that doesnt make sense. ok so on sense i have the verizon logo or carrier on my statusbar header background. its just calling a string. it would be easier to just add the image through a layout xml. are you wanting to get rid of the carrier text?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
yes, I guess I overthought what you posted lol. I added the call into statusbar xml to show carrier name, as shown in that pic, so if I wanted to change that to an image, from scratch, how would I? I'm thinking I would need to modify where it calls carrier name, and change the xml to say something like "id:@drawable=carrier_logo.png" and of course add that image into the draw folder, right? And in theory I could use the rest of the xml line (for alignment, padding, etc) and it would leave it in the left position?

Heck, I could send you my sysUI if you wanna look at it?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
ok WilyFi is in your statusbar. is that a screenshot with your phone locked or does it always say wilyfi in your statusbar. thats why i asked if you wanted to layer an image where the text is in your statsbar. and normally that would say sprint right? you dont need to use that id. you can an image in the proper layout. ive only done it for the pulldown tho not the actual statusbar
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
It always says that. Yes it would normally say sprint, but I've used the old aosp hack where you change that with "eri.xml" in /data/. Since this text shows up everywhere sprint used to (lockscreen, topbar, dropdown, etc) should I be looking elsewhere for the id? lol... Thanks for being confused with me...
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Oh you want to add the image everywhere that shows up. Yeah you would want to use that id. I see what your saying. Not sure exactly how that would be done. I would need to be on the Rom to mess with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Amazing

I am new to the whole theming thing and i just have to say this really really helps, ty everyone who was involved in this :)
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
The thing you could do is create your image and build an id for it. Then try to find the carrier Id in smali and replace it with your image id. You would probably have to add a background in each area but im not sure how cm7 relates to sense that way
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
the carrier name, in theory, is in systemUI or framework-res?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
I know in sense that it's in smali
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
its in an xml isnt it? the text part atleast...

should be in sysui something like plmn label? or something
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
In sense there is a systemui smali thread referenced. Its in statusbar expanded. The actual string Verizon or Sprint isn't in strings. There may be a string reference tho can't remember.
