[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] V!KR@M:
Hi, i followed your tutorial. Very nicely written.

But i have the problems with the 3 methods you have written

Method1(simple way)

: Works great for me. But can't be used with transparent status bar

Method2(complicated)

: There is extra code with the id "buttons"(marked as red) in my file which is not allowing me to follow this method. Here it is :

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.IconMerger android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notificationIcons" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:paddingRight="1.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CmSignalText android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:paddingRight="2.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CmBatteryText android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:paddingRight="2.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CmBatteryMiniIcon android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/CmBatteryMiniIcon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
[COLOR="Red"]<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/buttons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageButton android:id="@id/status_edge_left" android:background="@drawable/ic_statusbar_edge_right_bottom" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<ImageButton android:id="@id/status_home" android:background="@drawable/ic_statusbar_home_bottom" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<ImageButton android:id="@id/status_hide" android:background="@drawable/ic_statusbar_hide_bottom" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<ImageButton android:id="@id/status_edge_right" android:background="@drawable/ic_statusbar_edge_left_bottom" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

what does that code marked in red indicates? I understand that they are pointing to icons in the res/drawable folder. But i never saw those icons in status bar.

Method3(the ticklefish way)

:

I really want to use this method. But this method requires the android ids of every line. But in my case, there are missing android ids for some lines(missing ids for signal text, battery text, clock).

So can you tell me what i can do so that i will be able to use both transparent status bar and the center clock? Also

In case if you want to look at in detail, here is my SystemUI.apk

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

Yes i use softkeys on my rom
