Whoa it's good bro, nicely done.

I am at #20, hahah i even still not started to try the mod yet. I still use your the version you gave me on PM :p

Now i am trying to do it on asus transformer, modifiying those bottom layout and still no luck, doh!!! Lolz.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Hah! You should see them when finished. :p I'll update the OP for some screen shots. I'll send links to you later to test. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
Works!

Now I have to figure out how to change icons, but I think that with Zeami Launcher 3.1.9 can't do.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
hi guys!

I really like that curved notification bar but how do i get it?

and do you have an link to donate? i really like your themes!

edit: and i really like that beats icon how to get it ether?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
It's still unreleased :) , maybe later this night or tomorrow. If you can decompile and compile SystemUI and framework-res, you can do it by yourself. Ah no donations, a simple thanks would be enough. ;)

Home screen icons? if you have no option to edit icons then try Desktop Visualizer. Download via market.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Yes i can decompile and compile but what i need to change ? (i really want to learn) :D
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
I noticed a small bug: the clock is centered, but when gets a notification (such as a text message) the written overlap.

first the clock disappeared to allow you to read the notification:)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Ah that's not a bug. But that's how android is. The time and other icons were placed and designed not to overlap (left and right). None placed on the center. But since we are customizing, we have to sacrifice a little. :)

I'll make 3 zips then, another one for uncentered time.

You can search xda for tutorials on that. I only learned by reading.

If so and you found things you need, it's as easy as replacing icons and images. xml's and smali's however needs more than that.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Ok then i wait till tomorrow for curved taskbar :)

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

please help... i use the meizu theme but i got this:

the same is with the wifi icon...
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
What was it? Got and Error (403) on your image, can't see it.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
the first block on the signal icon is green and in your screenshots not (attachment)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Ha, that is the indication that you have Background Data ENABLED my friend. Same as CM7 default, it becomes green. ;) If you see mine in all white, that is because my Background Data is disabled.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Hahaha lolz....
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
how do i disable?
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
If you don't need data connection, disable it on settings > wireless&network > mobile network > data enabled, untick that option.

This is OOT btw. :D
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
The last one is perfect bro!
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Wahehe. I didn't edit the xml further now. It remained at -8. Just replace the font. I used a different font. I made 3 zips, I'll be posting them tonight.

Also, tested them with RC0's and didn't have problems.

Thanks for testing. Much appreciated bro.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
When yourelease the curved taskbar i really looking forward to it

Verstuurd van mijn LG-P970 met Tapatalk
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I will upload now, wait for it. Don't expect much on the curved one, it may look good but activating too may on that side will look awful (wifi etc.). :p Only good for screen shots. :D
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
I see, maybe different font different alignment and size values. When using Roboto, the position is a bit lower than battery font and a bit smaller. But the new font is perfect for me :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I wanted to modify a lot, including dial pad etc. but don't have much time. Perhaps we can make a theme (Theme Chooser). I edited Settings icons as well and a couple of things. :)
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
can you just make one more with the curve at the left side :D tnx!

EDIT: and can you remake the curved one with the standard CM theme cuz when i install the curved one my battery etc changes in meizu
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
I'm impressed,I do not know what to expect from the theme (Theme Chooser).

I want your beautiful icons :D
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
try the other battery icon its nicer and the battery % is included

(Settings>CyanogenMod>Interface>Statusbar tweaks>Battery style>Icon(default))
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Sure, i love to. Since Aprold hasn't give me an update about his nova settings i can help you :)

I have a thinking about the theme that represent our OB.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I want to see that ! ;D

Well Gabwerkz, I tried again and one more time, status bar disappear. :(

Don't worry, I have replace SystemUi.apk with the original one. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
hmm, are you replacing apk's? You have to flash the zip in ClockworkMod. I tested these in RC0's. I'm guessing you extracted the zip and replaced the apk's. The zip is flashable as stated in OP.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
That is because I used the Meizu icons.

Thanks, kindly tell me what build are you at. Nightly or RC0?

I was about to ask you to make me the Settings icons :) but didn't catch you online that time. I wanted embossed ones and not just flat. With a theme in Theme Chooser, we can edit the Apps Icons as well and many things. Maybe after Christmas or New Year.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Oh okay, i just sent you PM.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
PM replied bro. I studied the xml again due to everlapping of notifications and time. It's in the width of wrap_content in @idicons. The result would be cutted off before the centered time, hence no overlaying. Too much notifications will be merged.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Of course I flashed it with CWM ahaha. :P
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
What build are you at? I will flash it to see if indeed no status bar is showing. I'm on temasek's build ATM due to the last test and those apk's came from n#20 yet I have no problem. Only when additional features will be added will be missed like in the dialer.
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
I'm using RC0 by redy2006 :cool:
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I'm using temasek build too. :O
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Here are my test builds, Nightly #20, redy2006 RC0, temasek builds (cm7kang-p970-19122011 and cm7kang-p970-P20-1). All said tests shows status bars. :confused:

Like I said, this things doesn't change much. They came from the CM7 for P970's system apk's for compatibily. If it's not working for you, there's nothing I can do about it ATM. Since you're the only one seem not to make it work.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I'm sorry. I really don't understand too because the transparent bar mod works well ! I'm unlucky xD.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Send me your SystemUI and framework-res. :) Attached or PM link.
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
Well I want tell what appens to my "dear" OB this afternoon.

I installed last temasek Kang this afternoon whitouth wiping,installed also Nova v11c kernel and all seems right.

then I tried to reinstall this patch ( I use CURVE ) and CM go in Loop

e-recovery flash RC0 Kang but... if i try to install again this patch,CM don't start again.

I've tried everything (flash full wipe 5-6 time) until I Briked the OB.

then I started by stock 10A and now i have again the Transparent Status Bar + Centered Clock...

I'm not sure but maybe the problem was in the launcher(ZEAM) ... or in the KANG ! tomorrow I'll try again, best regards !
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Ok i'll do this when I can. Thanks for your interest Gabwerkz. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
P20-2? I'm on P20-1 ATM. I'll try that build and see. Thanks. But I'm on a lower Nova kenel.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
I searched and there are some script differences in frameworks. Now temasek uploading p20-3 you might check that version bro :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Yeah I saw it just now. With the ever changing commits and builds, I might pull out all of these zips and make a tutorial instead, a how-to. Using your own apks, and my zip as base. :)
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
That will be quite a good idea buddy. :)
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
P20-2 :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Can you make it work on p20-4 cuz when i flash i get bootloop

Verstuurd van mijn LG-P970 met Tapatalk
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I will only modify the theme once a stable build comes out. Cause any further build with additional commits means I have to make one? That I cannot. If I decided to make one for myself, I would gladly share it to you. I hope you understand. Modifying system theme has compatibility issue every build unlike making a theme in Theme Chooser. Making a theme for theme chooser is the solution but it would require a lot of work and time. Perhaps after new year, me and lesp4ul will colabo for a theme. That would be a universal CM7 theme with any build and any phone.

Ah one more thing I forgot, you can use UOT kitchen to modify your apk's. It has tansparency for status bar, and a couple of modifications. After having/downloaded the zip,

Then:

1. Extract my zip.

2. Extract the apk's by double clicking and choose a zip/rar program then extract.

3. Copy the images you like, like the curved task bar.

4. If you like the curve reversed, use photoshop or like program and flip it.

5. Using rar program open systemUI and head to drawable-hdpi. Just drag and drop the image (status bar) to the opened apk. If prompted, click yes to overwrite.

It's the easiest way besides decompiling.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
i can select transparent status bar but can't choose center date how do i do that?:
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
For that you have to edit the status bar xml. Browse a few page and you'll see the code posted by lesp4ul. It's all over xda as well (tutorial) how to edit it. ;)

Anyway, progress is good for the theme. I have now an installable APK using the Templatebread for T-Mobile Theme Chooser. I'm choosing what to edit and add. I began modifying some, here are some teasers...
[LG Optimus Black] temasek:
Hi gabwerkz,

Great MOD and indeed

very

nicely done. I'll poke around your theme when I've time. :D

For other users

Pls don't ask themers to support every single nightly. It's not mission impossible but it is asking too much for a themer.

Those using CM KANGs, pls note KANGs are like nightly builds and as such the above statement still stands.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
HUA! temasek is in the house... LOL

Thanks bro.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
I haven't started yet haha just tried your v10. Looking good... love the notification bar. drop down bar, notif widgets and other stuffs in it need makeovers, we will done it for sure. :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Wihi, so there's the screenshot of the status bar folks. We are under testing. ;)

Yeah, lots of work to do. I mock some images whenever I'm idle, will continue to do so. thanks bro. :)

The dialer first attempt:

Torch:
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I like how it's looking. :) For your dialer, is it inspired of the ICS' one ?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Oh thanks. ICS is more subtle blue, viewing this in your phone, it's more bluer I think.

How's this for camera, would you like that? View your camera and see the difference... :)
[LG Optimus Black] George Jetson:
Guyz I respect your themes and works but why are you dont share your experiance about making themes decomplying and which files editing etc.So would you like make tutorial how can we make our own themes.Example I'm using 10c with nova rom and I want to make this theme to my rom.But I decompile framework-res.apk with apk manager then I don't now where should I start... Example, I want move the clock to center in statusbar.

Can you help me? Expecially I want help from ""gabwerkz"". Just say to me which file should I edit and which points I must note.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I'm so sorry but I can't make a tutorial/instructions right now due to me and lesp4ul is busy building a theme. But there are already tutorials in xda, vast tutorials that I cannot have the time to make. For starters, use UOT Kitchen.

If you want to replace, just find that particular image, let's say the status bar and replace it with what you want. The clock and icons alignment is with xml's. Type "centered clock" in search and you will be shown tons of topics about it. Then if you have a question, just post and I'll answer whenever I can. See tutorials, they are quite long and extensive.

I only learned via searching and trying. The android community/thread is vast. I will post some links when I find them. But start searching for topics you want. :)

Here, just click it. It is for CM7 but take not of what to edit.

>> Centered Clock and Icon Switch

For CM7 users who want to theme, here's the link I read and used as reference.

>> T-mobile Theme Engine for theming
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
i got an problem yesterday i flashed nova 11c and now i want the transpanent taskbar but when i do the taskebar completely disapear...
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I prefer yours. :P
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
i don't think that the taskbar disapears due to kernel flash , nova v11 c works perfect .

Try to use Temaseks kang 1 and use huex's kernel it works smooth for me...
[LG Optimus Black] George Jetson:
which theme did u try on 10c with nova?
[LG Optimus Black] mh6210:
I have small square boxes in the Scriptures (see picture).:(

Can someone tell me why is that?:confused:

I have the CM7 Kang Redy and Nova11c.

... dl.dropbox.com/u/36575631/screenshot-1324793135024.png
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Tell us what you've done... This is Froyo right?
[LG Optimus Black] mh6210:
No, that's not Frojo.

I redy2006 CM7's RC0 and the Nova 11c kernel.

Since this morning I have the Nigthly 21 on it and also because this problem occurs.

With the stock and the Nova11c kernel.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I asked because those check boxes/circles are not CM. I'm asking if you modified your apk's. And that header is Androidian I believe. As far as I'm concern I didn't modify those. So drop information what you did, otherwise i can't help you.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Yeah wierd prob huh i also use redy RC0 and nova 11c. Everything works fine.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Is that a font issue? I don't know if he used my zips or modified his own.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
It shouldn't a font issue, maybe he modified something. I once changed the font to helvetica.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Yeah, the curved status bar is there, but his chechboxes are different and it seems they came from stock ROM. Also the header is different.
[LG Optimus Black] mh6210:
At the APK's nothing I've changed.

The only thing I did, I'm on the program ROM Toolbox another GPS some selected icon.

After that, I've been playing but it was the transparent status bar.

I have now but the CM7 Nightly21 flashed.

It will now try again.

Thank you for your help.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
can you share t with us?
[LG Optimus Black] iNickMe:
hi, please give me your theme name :D i like it :D, thanks
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Hi gabwerkz, i have been using center clock mod since a few days; today i decided to change the fonts (system wide default fonts). I in past used font changer application from market, which, with root permission can flash any font from ttf format.

But, with that application i am no longer able to change my fonts. I am sure your mod doesn't change the default font directory in system partition, but do i need to reset any permission to get the application back to work? Any help on that or any alternative method to change system wide fonts not breaking your mod ? Sorry for my inexperience, i haven't messed much with framework files before; have relied on mostly the readymade mod flashes or readymade modding applications .. :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Simple. Download the font you want and rename it to DroidSans.ttf and replace in system/fonts/. Or after renaming, drag and drop it on my zip, navigate to the font folder. It will replace the DroidSans there. =)

BACKUP your original by renaming.

First post mate (attachments). Read the disclaimer (PS) before flashing.
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Damn, it just didn't strike me to rename it ! Thanks for explaining.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
What ROM, Nightly, KANG are you using? Seems correct to me. But you have the same method with lesp4ul.. "pushing the file" and his statusbar is gone too before. I suggest grab my zip "centered clock only". Replace the SystemUI inside with your modified SystemUI (signed, doesn't hurt), and framework-res (cause it was included). Just drag and drop, don't extract. then flash the zip. :)
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
I'm on Nightly 24. What you suggest is that i put my recompiled SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk inside your .zip and install them? should that make any difference?

EDIT: Well, i just tried that, and the same thing happened, Statusbar disappears... :(
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
It must be in the decompile/compile process. What are you using? After compiling (apk manager, multi apk) do you select y,n or y,y?

If I have time I'll decompile it myself to see. Bit busy ATM theming.
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
probably, lol.

well, first thing i did was to paste framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk in my apktool folder. then i started cmd as administrator and did the following:

apktool if framework-res.apk (Never got this one, just following procedures)

apktool d SystemUI.apk

then i change some values in various .xml's and go back to cmd:

apktool b SystemUI

after this, i sign it with PPCGeeks Android Signer, and then adb push or put it in your .zip, both from cwm recovery...
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I'm using APK Multi Tool Alpha 2. One apk at a time.

1. Press 9 to decompile. Then minimize the command.

2. Navigate to Projects folder, open decompiled folder then change whatever you like.

3. Press 11 to compile

4. If prompted press (y).

5. If prompted again with an option (y,n), press y.

6. Navigate to keep folder. Delete eveything you modified/ replaced like status_bar.xml and in the main folder delete resources.ascr.

7. Go back to the command prompt, press any key to continue.

8. Press 12 to sign the apk.

9. Rename signed apk to desired name (SystemUI, framework-res)

With the theme we are making, we just press n to step 5 then sign. Do them all in the apk tool including signing.

In regards with my zip, just drag and drop. You can navigate inside the zip just by double clicking the zip, and the folders. I'm using winrar, if prompted, choose "store" as the compression method.

My zips, they have a base zip, just ONE. I only drag and drop modified apk's to it and update script.

You MUST take advantage of the drag and drop method. like dragging and dropping Android market (vending.apk) from the gapps zip to the Nightly#* zip etc.
[LG Optimus Black] TUN_SD:
ok

, i prefer apk manager to decompile and compile.

i think, you have a rom of your phone on harddisk? (don´t know really LG phones and how it is with their roms), if yes, copy your system.ui to folder "place-apk-here-for-modding", run tool, .... you can google, isn´t the hard way.

make a copy of the project folder, then edit the projectfolder content. when finished, drag the modded files in their directory. then compile, if it goes right, the tool ask something, type Y, then type Y, and delete resources.arsc and the modded xml in the keep folder (its important) then it should go his way.

i don´t know, if it´s nessecary for your rom, but i don´t sign system apks, maybe there is the fault. i know, that i have only sign normal apks. try this, maybe it helps. also i use a rom manager, don´t know if 4ext or clockwork compatible with LG. it´s a lot easier.

if you can flash from recovery, use the zip from the link. i put something together, maybe help you,

i don´t know, if you that already knew, only try to help. here you go Hope it helps

edit:uups, now i read the post above! lol

ok, i looked over it again, and i think it coud be 2android:typeface="normal" android:textStyle="normal"", because, you don´t need them, when its normal, i think. but i´m no xml pro.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
yeah, we don't usually sign system apk's. But i had no errors doing so. It's ok, any help would do.
[LG Optimus Black] TUN_SD:
right, but maybe that is the problem, why it doesnt work for "hulkhaugen", don´t know,
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Finally got it working, but it took two attempts. First time i signed the apk, and it didn't work (as usual). I tried once more without signing it, and then it worked.

One thing i noticed though; when a message pops up in the status bay, say when i enable usb debug, the clock stays put and overlays the message. is that normal? Clock is still in the middle when i drag down the status bar, not disappearing like it used to before i modded. Here are the lines i pasted:

<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textSize="16.0sp" android:typeface="normal" android:textStyle="normal" android:textColor="#ff444444" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
[LG Optimus Black] TUN_SD:
ok, you must add a line, that says to the notification ticker, use a "background" to draw your text.

i use a transparent statusbar, and added a black statusbar, named statusbar_background2.png. this is my line for the ticker: (you can use a white bar too, doesn´t matter)

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/ticker" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:animationCache="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2">

now all notification text should be drawing on the new bar, then it should dissapear and show the clock again.

for the date, i use this line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

in my case, date is centered too. if i now pull down notification menü, the clock dissapears and the date shows, on the statusbar_background2.

the only issue that should appear, is overlapping from notification icons, if you get too much. (wl, usb, msg, email, updates or whatever.) but that is a big step with editing smali files and stuff.

hope it works for you, good luck
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Nice, I wonder why your handle has "noob". :D Seems not to me, perhaps some months ago? Aha. Thanks for the lines.
[LG Optimus Black] TUN_SD:
haha, I´m still a noob!:D but like one said

if it works, let me know!
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
True! I am currently theming for CM7 (Theme Chooser Theme). lots of man hours, revisions. It's crazy..
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
As i don't us a transparent statusbar atm, would it be easier to just use statusbar_background again, or make a copy of it and call it statusbar_background2? I don't want a different look when displaying tickers. And this is also in status_bar.xml?

Thanks, this was gonna be my next question. But the date code, this is in the status_bar_expanded.xml?

My next step is to change the colors of Date, Ticker messages, Provider, activties title etc. This can easily be done with UOT (I think). ATM, i'm overhaulin' the ElegantSteel theme. I like it very much, but on a closer look, there's a lot of sloppy work. Remaking ALL the status bar icons etc. Takes time...
