How advanced is this? Can I do something like the long dead "Reloaded ICS" with it? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531222

Because this was awesome and seriously needs to be recreated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
The first method I ever saw for changing the clock colour involved decompiling the apk twice and editing a lot of smali. This is a little simpler!

Yes, and on any rom. android:textColor is a standard Android parameter.

Tickle My Android may have a silly name (although it's easy to remember!) but it is a full, serious de- and recompiler for Android apk's as well as doing other things.

As long as you know what changes to make to what files, it can be used to make something like that.

Tickle if one wanna use another color, how can one go about it? how can i get yur battery icon please with stat_battery.xml file??? i need percentage battery style, anymore screenies please?

> Purple

> Red
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
To use another colour, just use a different ARGB code. Most decent image editors will give you at least a RGB code and you can work out what transparency you need. If you don't have a decent image editor, I recommend Pixelformer. It's not massively powerful but it's free and it's what I use.

As for my battery icon in the screenshot, that's available from Tickle My Android. The link is in my signature.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
i dont know how to use pixelformer, i would appreciate if yhu can help me with tha code please!

i have TickleforAndroid but dnt know how i will go about getting tha battery icon & tha stat_battery.xml
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] plegdroid:
you can use, photo editor, free from play store, put it in drawing mode and it will show the colour and transparency value you can use .

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Oh, the signal icons. Well, TMA comes with some different signal and WiFi icons you could try. Or, like the other post suggested, you can edit the icons yourself. This takes longer but it does mean you can make the icons look just the way you want.

Great TuT ima keep trying so far no results :S
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
The icons are image files, all you need to do is load them into an image editor and change their colour. A little tedious but very simple.

The date colour can be changed in exactly the same way as the clock. They're both text so just use android:textColor.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
i dont know tha xml code for tha Date & where its located!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
It's in either status_bar or status_bar_expanded.xml, depending on rom, and it'll be a line of code with something like 'DateView' in it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
thanks brotha... gonna try & feedback!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] plegdroid:
its in framework res /layout / status_bar_latest_content_event xml. on ics you may need to input(create a new line )

android:textColor="#your colour value"

after

android:id=@id/time

android:id=@id/title

android:id=@id/text .

with jb, you'll be editing, drawable and styles xml's in values.

hope that helps. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
Tickle tha DateView is inside status_bar_expandable but tha status_bar_expandable am using is kinda of corrupt cos its doesnt make toggle tittles shown. remember i ask yhu about hiding toggle tittles!

i attached tha status_bar_expandable am using! just unzip...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kiyongo:
Thanks, I've been looking for this for a long time :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Nope. Because it's not corrupt. The standard status_bar_expanded.xml doesn't feature the toggles at all. But then don't forget status_bar_tracking.xml. That has elements that are on the dropdown screen as well.

I can't remember what they're called right now but there are other xml files in that layout folder which control the layout of the toggles. Those are what you need to edit. Have a poke around the folder and you'll spot them.

Is it possible to change the font used for the status bar clock? I'm on gingerbread and would like to switch to the nice RobotoLt used in ICS..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Yes, you need to rename the font you want to use to Clockopia.ttf and swap it with the font in..oh, I can't remember exactly where it is..I think it's system/fonts. Make sure the permissions are correct and reboot.

Not that I keep promoting it or anything, but Tickle My Android can do this for you..

According to this, you have a duplicate attribute on line 16 of status_bar.xml. You need to remove that and then you should be able to recompile.

@ticklefish good tutorial, trying my hands on editing the statusbar. Btw, I hav a query..is it possible to show the internet speed as in MIUI in statusbar? Pls help. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wesley32:
I am running Jelly bean and everytime I try to edit this my status bar disappears.

Maybe I am editing the wrong .xml file, im not sure.

This is what I got.

Path to edit is: SystemUI/layout/status_bar.xml

within the file, I add - <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:clickable="false" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="#fff49d11" />

not sure why it would disappear?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
I've no idea, unfortunately. Sounds like a smali job to me, it's worth asking a smali expert.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
The code looks okay to me. You definitely have a clock in com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy, right? If so, it may be worth checking the rest of the xml and/or the process you follow to put the apk back on your phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wesley32:
Alright well I tried editing the code to delete the @style definition of the text appearance and it did nothing.

So, instead of adding a new style to the styles.XML could I just edit the current one that defines the clock appearance standard? Say just remove holo_blue or whatever its called and replace it with a hex code and android:text color?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Yup. Styles are just a way of saving devs time. If a dev wanted lots of different strings all to be dark red, bold and 16 dip, they can make a style and use that in each string. It saves a lot of typing.

You can certainly edit the clock's style. Just remember that it'll change anything else with that style. And remember any parameter in the tag will override the style.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wesley32:
Okay. I guess it might be the way I'm compiling and pushing to my phone. IdK. The parameter is correct and it should override the style like you said.

Maybe I'll try small tweaks to the .XML and try to figure out what makes it disappear.

The #ff prefix just makes the color transparent right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
So what is your process?

And yes, it's an ARGB code so the first two hex digits control the transparency. If in doubt, change it from ff to 88. That'll be semi-transparent.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Oohhlala:
plz tell me how to change this background to image. look at the attached image
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] blueblitzpup:
im having a similar problem as Wesley32 is.

Im running CM 7.2 on a Galaxy ace though, in case that yields any information.

i followed through your tutorial here doing pretty much exactly as you did but for some reason my status bar disappears every time i try running the modified SystemUI apk.

i tried using Virtuous Ten Studio, your Tickle My Android tool and even using just APKTool, but none of those produced any different results.

just curious to know if you figured anything out?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Hi Ticklefish

Could this work on gb?:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
If your status bar vanishes regardless of which tool you use, that suggests there's either something wrong with your code or the way that you put the app back on your phone. It's worth double-checking what you're doing.

Yup!

changing the color of the clock on my Galaxy S2 SGH-T989

here to see if i can get some help changing the color of the clock on my Galaxy S2 SGH-T989

i'm running jedi jelly rom 4.1.2

pulled systemUI.apk using Tickle My Android 5.2

went to

_working\SystemUI.apk\res\layout and opened status_bar with notepad

7th line down i found this

<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" />

and replaced it with this for orange color

<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" android:textColor="#ffff7c00" />

closed and saved

went back to theming menu and selected Option 13 to recompile files

then selected option 14

then option 17 to push files, then option 4 "SystemUI.apk"

and i get this (see picture)

i have tried doing it with the phone connected with usb and also clicking the usb mass storage and both ways i get the same thing.

i also disconnected the from the pc, booted into recovery, pluged the phone to the pc but the usb driver does not recognize it that way.

got the usb driver from samsung dot com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T989

the instructions on Tickle My Android 5.2 say "please place the device into recovery and mount the system partition" how do i do that.

i also tried the making the zip. placed it on the external sdcard and tried flashing from recovery mode with no luck.

please help.

using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.5 i also have rom toolbox pro and xposed installer with xposed tweakbox module

pc is win7

thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] decalman:

i upgraded rom to AOKP MR1 Build 4 which gives me android 4.2.2 and i can modify a lot from there
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Re: [TOOL]Tickle My Android 5.2 - DE/RECOMPILE APPS, CHANGE BATTERY ICONS...AND MORE!

So, if I've understood it correctly, you pulled SystemUI.apk after pulling and installing framework-res.apk, backed it up, made your mods to it, recompiled, prepared it and then you tried pushing the backup back to your phone?

Don't worry about pushing the backup yet. That's actually now a bit of a redundant feature and I'll be removing it in v6.

You've done the right thing in making the zip. What do you mean by not having any luck? Did it flash and the mod not work? Did it not flash and you got an error? If I know what symptoms you have, I can work out a cure. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] helllmonkey:
Never mind the old problem, I just had to force close the ADB process and TMA worked again.

But I have a new problem. I change a file in the working folder. I can recompile it just fine. I verified my changes by decompiling it. However, as soon as I do step 14 to "prepare for being pushed" the file gets overwritten and goes back to the way it was. How do I stop this from happening?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
What's the file that keeps being overwritten? And what version of TMA are you on?

..Have you tried Tickle My Android yet?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] helllmonkey:
Im changing styles.xml I want to change it from @*android:color/holo_blue_light to #ffffffff for both the clock and date. I save the xml and then compile systemui.apk. I double chcked and decompiled and it did save, but then when I prep to push, it reverts back to the old version.
