I searched the thread but didn't see anything relative come up with the problem I am having. When I get 7 notifications they start to overlay the clock. Is there a way to limit the max notifications I can get? I have been looking through the files, but I'm not really sure where to edit.Here is an example"

Now where is the black status bar image located? (with the date and Sprint on it.) Thanks.

With the mods separating the carriers on the GS3, I', not quite sure what should be done with this thread. I think most of the people that have been in the thread are split between AT&T and Sprint. Any suggestions?

Where can I find the xml to modify the statusbar_background? Not status_bar_background. At least that's what it was called for HTC. If it's not called this, it's the top bar that houses the battery, clock and notifications. Right now it's black and I'd like to change it to a png.

Ah I forgot to load the framework file, good call man...

And you know whats funny, is Ive found the name/location of this file the hard way, and Ive been told twice before. Either the files are just really wacky this time around, or that file name/location is a curse for me :(. Ive seen it be a single dot.9 patch fill file (really small), and Ive seen it be a bigger image, and Im still looking. But my eyes are killing me now.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
I remember you saying something about that a few months ago on the ET4G. I looked but couldn't find anything that looked like it might be it, more importantly I didn't find anything in the xml files that would point to that.

If you haven't seen it go back to my last post on page 2. That is what I found in the xml files.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] TeamERA:
Yeah, well if I remember right it was always a file, not an xml edit. The hard way was to add diff color dots to each black image I came across in drawable-hdpi on the et4g, now xhdpi, but that took forever. I may have to do the same thing. But ill ask around first, maybe tomorrow. Im about to be gettin down for the fourth ;) At home this year, but still fun. So I wont post in anyones theme thread just yet, since Id rather people have fun today :)

Edit, and the thread your thinking of was for the actually notification box, like when you get a text message. But I have had several of those threads also. The one where you helped was an xml edit because it was for cm9 I think.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Swiftks:
Just the thread I was looking for...

Haven't done a whole lot of ICS themeing (GB use to be so much easier), and especially not with TouchWiz. Anyway, I have the following questions in reference to the screen shot below. Most of these changes, if not all, I believe are in the SystemUI. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

1) How the hell do you get rid of the carrier ID? Also, if I wanted to move it to where the date currently is in the notification menu, how would this be accomplished?

2) How do I change the quick menu toggle color? Is it a hexcode or a png... haven't been able to find it anywhere? Maybe in the framework-res?

3) For future's sake & reference which xml is this color at (the background for the toggles)?

4) How do I right align the date by the settings button?

5) Text color location for this?

6) Background Color for this?

F.Y.I. This apk manager works perfect for decompiling and recompiling the systemui and framework-res, for the SGS3. Don't forget to install your framework-res first.

I changed it to #88000000 and it became semi-transparent.

@Swiftks: We don't have the carrier in the status bar on the Sprint version. It's in the location where you want it on yours, same with the date.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] TeamERA:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
#F2000000 would be very close.

Could anyone help me on how to revert a transparent status bar (not pull down) back to being 100% non transparent?

Also could anyone tell me what to edit to change the order for which the toggles appear?

"All this knowledge is giving me a raging brainer!"
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
Why is the status bar not transparent? So far I've found 2 places where you can change the status bar back ground. One is the drawables.xml and the other is in the tw_status_bar.xml.

The toggles is smali. If you would want to tackle that sbrissen or Maddoggin is who I would ask, but you had better have some java and smali experience before even asking them about this.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Off top of my head you need to change the color in drawables xml back to black and change the status bar smali back to const 0x4 (transparent line is -0x3).

Ok in StatusBar.smali

const/16 v16, -0x3

needs to be changed back to

const/16 v16, 0x4

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
Did you have to adjust the status bar smali or were you able to do it with an alpha adjustment in the drawables.xml?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Hmmm I had already done the statusbar smali since I already had transparent status bar set.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shiftr182:
Okay, I have a question. I havent themed Touchwiz since the OG Epic, and I imagine ICS is a little different. Where is the image located for the statusbar? I want to change the actual statusbar image. I know with the og epic, there were two locations that you had to edit, but not sure with the S3.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
It's called from xml, not an image. It's in the twstatus_bar.xml and redirects to the drawables.xml where it calls out the #ff000000 hex code. You can either change the color there, or in either place change it to @drawable/statusbar_bg then make an image with the same name an put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shiftr182:
Is it in SystemUI.apk?

edit: i added android:visibility="gone" and it's still there. decompiled tweaked version and my changes are intact. had a good compile, too. going to try one more thing..

okay, what appears to be happening is as soon as you do a pulldown, the carrier string shows up and sticks in the bar again so there must be another place it's being called in. going to do some more digging and see what i can find.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
I'm guessing that you should be able to add the string

android:visibility="gone"

to make it go away.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
yep, that's exactly what i did. a pulldown of the bar is causing it to come back, though.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
it's showing up in smali as well, as CarrierLabel.smali and CarrierLabel$1.smali

any idea what to do here?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
I can look at this later when I get home. Plus doing this blind since we don't have the carrier label in the status bar on the Sprint version. I'm guessing this is only on the GSM phones since your phones like to tell you who's network your on.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
yeah, i'm not at home either. if i were i'd just grab up a Rogers or Sprint dump and decompile their SystemUI and see what's different. i'm guessing they don't even have a carrierlabel smali, though.

i appreciate your help, Shane.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
LOL its bad enough Sprint tells us on the notification pull down but at least they took off the Lockscreen carrier :)

LCD Density

Hi, I had changed my LCD Density from 320 to 300 and noticed only one bug. The drag down of the status bar is no longer centered. Was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it? Here is an attached picture:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
Check the tw_tracking xml in res/layout, I noticed if I remove the Carrier label section from that xml then the Carrier label does not display.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
yes correct. but if you pull the statusbar down, it appears again on your statusbar, right?

edit: if someone could post a stock SystemUI.apk that is deodexed from either a Sprint or Rogers dump, i would greatly appreciate it :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] djkinetic:

it has got to be the smali that needs changing as well. really wish i had a Rogers or Sprint SystemUI :(

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
off the bat i can tell everyone that the android:id="@id/carrierLabel" within tw_status_bar.xml has nothing to do with it. this is here on the Rogers SystemUI as well. this xml is identical to the ATT one. i can't check the smali code because the Rogers SystemUI is ODEXED. i need DEODEXED

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] shane6374:
Would you be so kind as to post your systemui for others to look at? This is something that many on GSM devices are going to ask for. If you have it working we would like to figure out how you did it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
it's def smali code, Shane. this is how it was removed from the AT&T HTC One X. i can try to download that SystemUI and see what they did but i may end up PM'ing the guy who did it.

line 270, delete. then delete line 276. then delete line 282. then delete line 288. going to re-compile and see what happens lol

alright, so the compile and everything worked, but it's still there. gonna try one more thing...

edit: oh it's still there because the changes didn't take. doh! hold on guys heh :)

edit: uhhh i deleted classes.dex which is what you delete when recompiling if you've changed smali code but it didn't take. any ideas, Shane?

apparently there's problems with editing smali code with apktool so that's the issue. i'm just going to decompile standalone smali and recompile that and try again :)
