This is going to be kind of a long post, but maybe it will give some others an idea of what I did, in case they would like to play around with this as well.

If your working on android 4.3 the battery names are actually named different than before. Instead of stat_sys_battery they are named tw_stat_sys_battery in the stock build. Had to edit the battery xmls to read the old names so we didnt have to rename all of the battery mods.

For the custom pulldown the xml that I edited was in SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml. If you look at the second line you will see this in that xml:

android:background="@drawable/notification_background_color"

I just edited it to say this to point at an image:

android:background="@drawable/tw_custom_bg"

Then i made an image 720x1280 for the SGS3 (may need to be larger for Note 2) and named the image tw_custom_bg.png. That image will now be your custom background for your pulldown once recompiled.

For custom status bar to point to an image I changed in 2 different points.

The first one is in SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar.xml in the second line you will see this:

android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"

I changed to this:

android:background="@drawable/dazed_statusbar"

Then i went to SystemUI/res/values/drawables and look for this line:

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff1e1e1e</item>

and i changed it to this:

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">@drawable/dazed_statusbar</item>

Then i added an image 720x86 in png format called dazed_statusbar to the drawable-xhdpi folder.

That image will now be the custom status bar once compiled. Tw Launcher sometimes over rides the custom status bar with the transparent one, but always shows up with Apex or other secondary launchers.

There may be easier ways to do this, but this is just how I do it and kind of set in my ways. Also you can name your custom images to any name that you would like, those are just what i used for my stuff. Hopefully this helps a little.

Feel free to send me your SystemUI and I'll try to take a look at it tonight, but Ive been up and working since 2am, so I may not be able to get around to it until tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dazednconfused:
No you don't swap android.manifest and META INF until after you compiled your new apk. Are you sure you added your png named the same as you named it?

Also is this your first time compiling the 4.3 Systemui? If so, you may want to take a look at this thread. It says 4.2 but worked fine for me on 4.3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eZdubzitmk4:
bingo that fixed most errors.. when you did that custom bg for me, did you get these errors after compiling?

aapt: warning: string 'disable_mirror_bubble_message' has no default translation in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\SystemUI\res; found: tl

aapt: warning: string 'navibar_cling_message' has no default translation in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\SystemUI\res; found: tl

aapt: warning: string 'watch_brightness_dialog_brightness' has no default translation in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\SystemUI\res; found: tl

aapt: warning: string 'watch_brightness_dialog_volume' has no default translation in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\SystemUI\res; found: tl

i think those errors are rom related

also, do i yank meta inf and manifest from original apk in my system folder? like just rename to zip and open in winrar and copy em over and replace?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dazednconfused:
Those are just warnings, did the apk build? I don't post any attention to those warnings, just errors that won't let it compile.

Pull them from your original Systemui.apk and put into the newly built Systemui.apk. I use 7zip and just double click the apk and you'll see the files inside and swap them out.

The pulldown background I plan to keep on Waffle Blue for a while. Thanks to 1brainsurgeon for the logo. Not sure how I found this pic but really cool looking and simple.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dazednconfused:
Most of the other bg like in behind the word Notification column are xmls. You can find that bg in layout_status_bar_expanded.xml around line #8

android:background="#ffb3b3b3

and change to this:

android:background="#00000000

to show transparent or any other color you want

Other key place to looking into systemUi are.

layouts/status_bar.xml - change battery colors

res/values/colors - Change the the toggle slider text and background ( and yes you can make that trasparent as well.

res/values/drawables - You can change your notification header and other stuff here the way you want it. I directed some of this stuff as images as well for personal use, because i didn't want the themers whipping my a$$ for making them change there themes....lol.

res/values/styles Change the color of the header clock and date in pulldown and also whether it shows up in all caps or not.

Just play around and see what you come up with man and have fun doing it. You seemed kind of excited when your pulldown that you made worked and thats a good feeling to have when you change something on your own and it works. Thats why i do this rom is because its mainly to have fun and see what kind of stuff we can add, usually themeing stuff, because smali is still my mortal enemy. We have gotten a lot of new people into theming and doing things on their own. To me that's awesome seeing people wanting to learn some of this stuff.

I'm just curious... and an observation.

I'm seeing absolutely enormous full rom themes being posted because the themers are using entire apk's instead of using a vrtheme/morph. Is it possible to just get a morph version of these? Additionally, don't the themes get wiped out if the app updates? It would save everyone a lot of work, cut down on development time, large downloads, etc. :)

Edit: Plus the full rom themes aren't exactly universal because of the full apk's being used. I would think that the themer would want to make his/her work available to everyone, not just a specific rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
It would be ideal. But a lot of themes, especially these full ROM themes have too many XML changes. Not every Dev uses the same ways to include mods like custom bgs and pulldowns so you can never have a true universal theme. It would be nice and so much easier but it is impossible. 99% of my theme would work on Moar but would need to redo the top 6 framework, settings, phone, contacts, systemui, and messaging to not break the mods implemented by the Dev. Unfortunately when an app updates gotta redo that whole app. 99 % of updates are useless. Usually Google fixing something they broke in the previous update.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dazednconfused:
I've also ran into issues when morphing some apk's running into force closures and it morphing for some and not others. Most of the the main system apps seem to do fine, but issues with gapps and Samsung apps seemed to cause issues. We have tried in the past making the themes for other roms and ended up with like 5 or 6 downloads total.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Oh I know what you're going through. I'll be the first to say I don't theme. LOL

I know there would be a number of things missing from a universal theme because of whats in resources.arsc and the xml edits that are necessary to achieve the color coding that is necessary to make a theme complete. I just wish they would come in two flavors, one that is universal and one that is rom specific. Quite a bit of theming can be accomplished with just the image/png replacements. I suppose that would have to be planned for up front though. Once it's been done one way, there's no going back... too hard to find all the changes and new or changed images. :rolleyes:
