I wanna frix...lol. I've got some nice things happening with this statusbar mod...um..except for what's going on in that pic...lol. I'll tackle this tomorrow. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
in reference to what fern said, I'm pretty sure the two in sysui are good, should just be the one in frres - I think - but not sure which image it is?

@fern ^^^ which in frres is it? I *might* be able to do it tonight.

@steal - ggaaaaahhh! lol. So I modded the texture in m10 in the widget and saved (all in m10 tools) - just signed it and pushed/rebooted - still nothing? why am I such a d3rp?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
looks like ther are two in framework

status_bar_item_background_normal.9

status_bar_item_app_background_normal.9
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Yep and it looks like the one in systemUI is semi-transparent but the ones in framework-res are white.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I'm in frres now, should I just completely trans them both, the ones fern said?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
yes your background is already shaded i assume
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I was thinking of making them black and setting the transparency at 75% or something. I'll play around with it tomorrow evening. If you're doing White Hot you can try something different. I'm working off of Black Beauty.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
yessir - ok done - pushing now

side note- is it a little sick that every once in a while I hope I bork my phone, and it loops or something? lol, I like the rush, and figuring out what I d3rped :)

I think based on ferns Q about whether the pulldown was already trans means that if you color and trans and a different level it ends up looking wonky? fern?
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
yes it is you weirdo;) i hate that but if i do i know where to go for help

hell i borked the weatherwallpaper mod earlier(look a few post back) fixed it now i lost and icon in the settings pop up(and it pissed me off).

was thinking i may post a few pics of my 1st theme
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
K...sooo...how do I get the same transparent look like the rest of the background?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
^ lol dased anytime you need help :)

@fern/vanessa - ok changed those to trans in frres - still white bg downloading? like in that screenie?

also @ your last post v - no idea - I failed :/
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
Is that when u download from the market? If so then u need to look in either downloadprovider or downloadprovicerui that back ground is in there

Edit

If I remember correctly it's not a png but a background reference in an XML
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Lol...no worries. I've been trying to figure out how to change that for the longest.

Sounds good. I'll look into this. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
lololololol

so I pushed it to /app and not /framework

ha. rebooting now, hopefully things are where they should be now :)
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
the download background is def an image and not a coded background

this is the refernece in downloadprovider.apk

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@android:drawable/status_bar_item_app_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

this is def a reference to the image in framework-res

now you could change that to

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#00000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

you want full trans as your pulldown image will be your background
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
yeah thats exactly what I did...thats why I remembered that it was an xml edit..lol
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
yeah i do that all the time. im not much of an imager lol
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
yeah i try to avoid editing images if I can just edit the code...It's fun to edit code...when time permits
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
so to answer your question vanessa if you want your backgrounds to pretty much mirror your pulldown then you want full trans or maybe just outline them. the image status_bar_background willcover the entire area. so you dont want to add different shades
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
ok it worked :) looks like the rest of the bgs :)

BUT - now warm tweaks FC :( it's reliant on framework-res, so somehow whatever I did makes it unhappy

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
i agree. i remember whan i first tried that. replacing an image with a coded background. i had no idea it would work. was pretty cool
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
sorry i didn't get back right away I had company. If you like pull the image out and post it and I'll try and get it working for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
an image change shouldnt effect the tweaks. what else did you change?
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
yeah and you avoid dealing with .9.png
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
i do that with widgets also. resize them and replace the image with a coded background
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
?

101010101
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
no I gave up, just use a differnet widget lol :)

nothing, 2 images - do I need to sign it?

/me hates those

/me wants this magic

^^^ that lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
here is apktool 1.4.3 with the most current dependencies. the 1 and 2 files are in the zip. find where your apktool stores the depndencies and place these in that folder.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
ok just redid the mods to be safe, signed (with new apkmanager 5.0 THANKS!!!) and rebooting with my fingers crossed :)

EDIT: success!!! signing was the key

@fern, will you marry me?
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Ok, so.. I went back and red through the xmls line by line and figured out why the notification bar wasnt working right,

It was uding header_shader rather then the tital_bar_portrait

Anyway.. I managed to come across another issue

I got the background working this time around, but its giving me a white line across the tabs at the bottom

how do I get rid of this?

*Edit*

Nevermind.

I fixed it.

I had to edit image shade_header_background rather then change the codes to use tital_bar_header_background

so its working now.

Only thing I cant figure out is the recent apps

Ive gone through and changed it to -0x0

all of my images are at 0 opacity, and yet they are still the gray stock backdrop

but the recent apps is still not transparent..

is there another way to do this?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
No that's the easiest. As i said the problem lies with your set up. That's what you need to figure out

[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Fernando, shame on you! If your mom knew what was going on in her basement, she'd kick you out. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
you have to drag com.htc.resources when it asks for dependancies
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
ok your way and my way (used fr-res) both get me the smali I need, but when I dbl click the file windows says it doesnt know what to do, and can't read smali, and should I use the web to find an appropriate service, fml...

[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
You actually don't need to drag resources. Just use option 9. The dependencies are already in the other folder
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Yes, option 9 will automatically pull the proper dependant. Make sure you delete resource.arsc from the keep folder when compiling or the changes will be overwritten by the original apk files.

I'm trying to get more familiar with smali editing and learn what it all means is there any good references to read or is it more just read the .smali and try and figure it out. Ive done searches but havent found much on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
^^^^that right there^^^^^
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
No good "how-to for smali guides" that I know of. But reading the project site by jesusfreke isn't a bad place to start.

all you need is a lovely signature.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Thanks Tommy! Been reading off and on for a while now. with .smali im waiting for that epiphany moment you spoke of a few pages back! 5 days and counting huh? best of luck to you and your future wife!
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Easiest or not it doesn't work for me.

I follow the tutorials to a t and don't get results.

If I post.a stock system UI can you just make the recent apps bg at 0 and the backdrop to 80?

Because I've gone through with a stock app and tried the tutorial all day yesturday and all I get is a black bg with no images for items.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
there is a pretty good java tutorial ive been looking at free on line that is geared towards android.ill link it later.

remember smali is just what the decompiled threads are called because of the tool used. the programing language is java

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

yes post it

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

it doesnt but it decompiles with one click each app
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Cool a link would be great, I'll also search for java and see what i can find.

Gotcha!
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Help...I decompiled the downloadprovider.apk where would I find what's in this post? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20061892&postcount=1294
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Its in layout. Is the only xml in the folder
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Thanks...I was looking at the decompiled res folder instead of the original. Apktool makes a bunch of other values folders along with the layout folder. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
alright, I dont want thenotifications to be transparent since I skined th item backgrounds

and can you give me an unsighned copy aswell since you said you sign everything?

I want to see if that might have been the issue since I couldnt flash the sighned copy i made or the one you sent me last time

thanks

*edit*

I was talking with Zone23 and he said that my issue might be that I have a different framework file..

maybe that might be why my phone wont take the systemui.apk you had edited for me even thouh it worked flawless on your phone?

maybe that one smali edit makes it depend on something in the framework that my stock frame work doesnt have?

idk..

Hopefully not. if you can get the transparency going I'll just try to finish it from there provided that it works on my phone after your edits
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
vanessa - check here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20065891&postcount=1310

also

@ aedon - did you find the *correct* locations of the pngs or xmls (not sure which it is) for the "notifications" background bar, and the "sprint" background bar?

also it looks like your sysUI is using zeusmod right? If so that might be different than what we're looking for...

@ bad seed - ^^^ any idea where these would be?
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
K...thanks...:)
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Yes, I found the image.

I read through almost all the xmls in the status bar stuff just to find that it was using an image called "shade_header_backround.9.ong" rather then the other ones I was lead to believe it was LOL.

As far as the sprint bar, I'm pretty sure I know which one it is I just havnt gotten to it cause I've been working on the damn transparecny lol

And no, this systemui comes straight from a stock clean shooter 2.08

The framework I have now is stock except that I have custom.battery and loading circle. Other then that its bare bones.

It should be compleatly stock as far as I know.

I can link to the original thread to the ROM if you think that would help
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
That would be great. When I nand back to my daily rom, I will hook you and everyone who's helped me out today and yesterday a Thanks click. XDA has taken away my privileges again. :rolleyes::)

Edit: Just to make sure, what you're referencing takes care of the png's that the arrows are pointing to?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
for notifications its statusbar_background and the carrier png is title_bar_portrait.9 also for the quicksettings menu where it says quicksettings its status_bar_titlebar_2round_rest.9, pretty sure thats right.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Mine was shade_header_backround
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
your talking about behind the recent apps right? i thought duce was asking about the bars that have the words "notifications" and "sprint"
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I think he was asking me about the bar that ses notifications

A bunch a pages ago I asked about it cause it wouldn't skin for whatever reason.

But I read my xmls and found that it was used the shade image so I skinned that and bam.

I havnt even worked on the bar that sea sprint yet.

I've been trying to get the background behind the recent apps to go transparent tho... Fernandos tutorials don't work for somereason lol
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
yes, like vanessa's screenie above - she's the one looking actually :)
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
yes the bar that says notifications is statusbar_background.png in the ss it sys "notifications" in red is that what is being asked about?
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
That's what I have...thanks!

I have status_bar_titlebar_2round_rest.9, status_bar_titlebar_left_rest.9.png, status_bar_titlebar_right_rest.9.png, status_bar_titlebar_left_pressed.9.png, status_bar_titlebar_right_pressed.9.png,

I'm not sure what's with the the last four images.

Notice that in this pic the left side of the status_bar_titlebar_2round_rest.9 is cut off. I'm trying to fix this.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
those four images are for the "clear" bar when the clear bar is in the note. area. ive been noticing that some of those bars in some themes are rounded in the top right but not the 3 other corners just round all four corners of those four pngs and it will look much cleaner. i think.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
That's what I'm talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
make your status_bar_titlebar_right_rest.9.png look like status_bar_titlebar_2round_rest.9

Originally status_bar_titlebar_right_rest.9.png was used up as a clear section (right side) of the whole top bar but now its being stretched to make the displaced clear button at the bottom. If you make status_bar_titlebar_right_rest.9.png rounded on both sides it should fix it.

Edit

You might also want to make the pressed one rounded on both sides to match it when its pressed.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Maybe that's what it should be.. but mine wasn't lol
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
That looks like that will have to be the solution then. ;)

Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:

You guys are all incredibly helpful and have saved me oodles of time. Thanks a million. :o
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
^^ yet another example of why this thread is the ****!
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
It didn't work. Fc all the way and no status bar on restart..

So there's more to it. Maybe the framework has something to do with it..
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
What Rom are you installing this on
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
the one here
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I hate to re-iterate what fern told you a few times, but you should read more stuff. It sounds like these helpful ideas are working for everyone BUT you, which simply cannot be. I'm sure we'll continue to help you, and eachother, but sometimes it seems like you ignore stuff in here because you think you know better? Sorry if I'm wrong, and I'm totally NOT trying to jump on you, just my observation. Please keep themeing, you're doing some GREAT looking work and I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

EDIT @ fern - maybe re-post the "rock-solid" base apks you use for him?

EDIT2 @ aedon - really not trying to be a d-bag, you must be missing something simple, or doing something extra to contradict what others have working properly, and failing for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
heres the thing, if I hadnt already read, re read, and followed the tutorials like 10 times and still gotten no results...

I have been doing exactly what ive read, its just not working.

And the one he just gave me was a stock file he edited but when i tried to use it, it just didnt work.

I tried it from compleatly stock, I even reflashed my to get everything back to 100 percent stock from where that systemui file came from.

It still doesnt work for me.

So there has to be something that i am missing and that I havnt been told because trust me, Ive read and done everything you all have mensioned.

Someone on ppcgeeks said that it might not just be the systemui, he said that it might not be working for me since i dont have the same framework file, but even after asking about that no one has either confirmed this for me or givin the idea any type of support behind that idea. So right now Im thinking it has more to do with the fact that the stock files i have just dont work with what I am doing.

Your stock files might already have something taken away or changed to where it works for you but its just not happening for me

I appreciate all the help, I really do, But when you say try this or try that, I do

and just cause it doesnt work and I come back and say so doesnt mean im not reading anything
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
it is something simple, since thats a stock base rom he's working with signature check needs to be disabled. i'm betting thats the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
what are the odds it's the odex one? that would be epic. <- nvm it's a deodex rom lol.

again, aedon, sorry, I know you're trying, but it simply MUST work somehow, I've never been steered wrong in this thread, and usually if I mess something up it's the SIMPLEST anser, like:

-after editing xml or smali, delete the resouces.arsc file before compiling

-after editing framework-res, don't push it to /system/app <- lmao did that yesterday

-don't image edit anything using greyscale, ever, use black/white levels mod

-do only one mod at a time, not a thousand, so if it fails, you can;t figure it out

/just trying to help :)
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I always delet the resources file when i change anything ouside of the hdpi folder.

ive not edited the framework file at all other then to change the battery. So ive not accidently pushed it into the apps :p

all of my image edits have been in photoshop using rgb so far

my current one has all my image edits so far to where all i have to do is change the recent apps background.. after i finish i pull it to the desktop and rename it and flash it but no good >.>

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

how is that done?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Push this one I already modified to system/framework/ go into recovery,mount system,push file, wipe cache and dalvic, reboot, then you should have no issues adding anything to your phone.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28511905/services.jar
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
well my only issues right now are the transperency in recent apps, everything else is fine at the moment, I just cant use the files fern has given me or it crashes

all of my files that i have edited so far dont give me the errors unless i mess something up, but i have the logs to read to find my mistakes or to post when i cant figure it out..

But is this .jar file really the only thing keeping me from using fern files?
