1. I pulled framework-res.apk through adb

2. I then used 7zip file manager to open the archive or apk (right click the file and choose 7zip to open it)

3. I then took the png with the new dropdown banner and replaced the file in the apk with that one. They are both named the same so windows will just swap them out when you drag and drop

4. I then pushed the apk back to /system/framework, where it was before

That opened up a bunch of problems and I just nandroid back to my original setup.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Did you reboot?

After you push a framework apk you will get a TON of fc's, that's normal.

Any time you push a file to system/framework you should immediately reboot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jjday7:
i did a reboot three times and just kept getting fc's.

For me it's not a big deal. I do these kind of things just to learn and don't necessarily have to have the new look. I am trying to learn as much as I can about android. I figured if I got it working I could post a how to on it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
Superscrewed!!!

ok, using your tutorial, i figured out how to edit apk files, but a bit late. thank you for all the info you have given me so far. i will utilize all of it some other time. so i added the png to a theme and flashed the theme on my allready messed up evo. now, it wont get past splash screen. i will wipe and start over. thank you so much for all your experience and help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. I understand if you're frustrated or even a little pissed right now but I assure you whatever has happened your system is recoverable. I also understand of I am the last person you want more "help" from but I'd be more than happy to get on gtalk and help you sort everything out, even if it's just to get your system stable again without having to wipe everything out, if you haven't already reflashed a rom.

I'll pm you my gtalk, fwiw
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
FYI, the safest way to replace a framework file such as services.jar , framework-res.apk or com.htc.resources.apk is while you are rebooted into recovery mode and your phone's OS is not really running. This avoids all those FC issues.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
agreed. If you are having that much trouble, DL someones theme, take everything out you dont want, then just replace the framework file, save/sign it, and you can boot into recovery and flash it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
i think i got it...

sign????? i thought you only needed to do that with apks. how do you sign a theme? wow i was way off..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
+1, great easy to learn. Check the update script, make sure it won't do anything you don't want (move sounds to sd, rm something..)

You don't need to be signing apk's, at least not yet. He's talking about signing a .zip and making it a.. signed.zip. I don't think clockwork checks sigs. If you do use a theme as a base for a mod just be sure to delete the 3 files in META-INF, leave the folder. Open the update_script and check it out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
i have tried everything that you said, but amon recovery keeps giving me an error. i cant find a clockworkmod anywhere either. if somebody could give it to me..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evohack99:
Ill find for ya

Wow nvrm its to hard ti find using my phone, sorry

UPDATE... I used MM from app store, updated busy box the whole nine, and dl the file tried using mm and then it RB and went into bootloops, I'm using netarchy"s "burt droid" and "kings kernel cfs#8" so no go with it...

If you look through some of netarchys roms, he has links to amon and CW on most of them. He serves his roms on a silver platter with all the fixins

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
Can't find any links in his 1.1. I will look harder tomorrow.

Cool theme, but it is for desire. If you could just post the notification mod and its location, that would be great
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Amon RA requires a signature on a signed zip before it will flash it, clockwork doesn't. Regardless what theme you use as a template you'll have to resign it. You can't just open the archive of a signed zip and drop stuff in like you can with an apk.

I prefer Amon's recovery just because it's what I know and what I learned to work with when I had my Hero. Signing zips is very easy you just need the right tool. If you want to sign your own zip do a google search for "Avabox2". It's a toolkit Avalaunchmods put together last spring. It contains a signing tool.

If you want to skip all the signing business you can get clockworkmod a couple different places. You can get rom manager from the market, it can flash clockworkmod for you. Our you can find clockworkmod on unrevoked's wiki (I'll find the link)

Regardless whether you sign and use amon ra or go with clockwork you need to delete the cert files that signing created for the last guy that signed the theme you're using, and review the update script.

IMO, signing is very easy and something anyone getting in to this should learn. I'm certain if you search google for "how to make a signed update.zip" you'll find some good instruction.

On my phone now, I'll post some links when I get to work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slackwaresupport:
ok details on this!!!!

what widgets are those!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
wow thanks for all the help

nebenezer, you have really been so helpful through this entire process. thanks for all your help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evohack99:
I still haven't gotten this to work.

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
Figured out why it isn't working

Neither the metamorph nor modding the apk have worked because the file is a 9.png. These are much harder to change. I'm not sure how. Somebody contact steriscon or another mod for help please. Steriscon would be smart.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dogbone414:
I'm using cm6 mod can you hook me up with a flashable zip.&
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
I got it!!!!!!! woot

i found a way to get it working on any rom. just use draw9 tool in android sdk to make a boarder around bar. then, adb pull your framework-res.apk. open using betterzip and replace old dropdown with new one. save file, and adb push back in place WHILE IN RECOVERY.

that took me four wipes and three weeks to figure out. be thankful.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lexknight:
Ok guy..... Hope you will give it a try...

OK, I am in the last stages of haveing my own rom with all the things in it... give me a day or so, and I will be posting it on here.... I have to pull out some of the paid apps that I have it install in my version... but seems to be super stable, and looks super cool... I have pulled out more crap then any other rom on here... but it will come with it, so if you want it back you can put it in... I just dont like crap... and this will be coming the way I LIKE A ROM... why... CAUSE ITS MINE>.. LOL... :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marc.ientilucci:
im about to give up!

okay, ive been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and im goin crazy. i pulled framework-res.apk and got the original status_bar_close_on.9.png, edited it to my liking:

now heres what i have done: opened framework-res.apk with winrar, and replaced the original status_bar_close_on.9.png with mine. then i go back into adb and

and the changes dont get applied. then i saw that it was a .9.png file so i outlined the file with a border in the draw9tool from the android sdk, downloaded eclipse classic 3.5, installed the Android SDK plugins and i was able to save an unsigned apk to get the status_bar_close_on.9.png from that apk. i extracted the .9.png using winrar and placed that into the original framework-res.apk

i went through adb again (same steps as above) and STILL no change... can someone help me out here PLEASE im on the newest Stock rom rooted with the newest unrevoked stock kernel (since they beefed up the FPS its been good on battery so im sticking with it for a bit)

EDIT: i figured it out using metamorph and i will post my directions on how-to tomorrow for any1 interested
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
So is there a flashable zip for this yet? For Fresh?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
So close,

The only thing I can see you are doing wrong is not ending the push code correctly. You need to type what you want the file to be named after one more slash.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
Newest fresh. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utb:
Can someone post a link to where I can get all the images for his [manup] dirty theme cause I only see three clean one.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
Doesnt work. :confused: and the metamorph app isnt installing properly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
Send me your framework-res.apk and I will do it for you. Also send me your services.jar if you want transparent notification trey. It looks beast with this mod. You need a deodexed rom to even consider working.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
Well heres the issue. I was trying to install this notification bar on my girlfriends EVO since I had it on my phone. But today I went ahead and flashed the clear notification tray .zip and it worked fine, but it got rid of my notification bar. I tried to install it again using metamorph but nothing happened. I cant figure out how to get both on there.

And we are both on Fresh with netarchy 4.1.9.1.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
well then, just send me your framework-res.apk located in /system/framework/ and i will be happy to make a flashable zip for you. i garuntee you it will work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
if you need the adb command, it is

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
I dont know how to use adb :o
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timdawgdentist:
anyone have the flashable version for stock deodexed rooted rom?

Of the notification pull down.

I dl'd the metamorph version but scared to use it...screw it Ill try
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timdawgdentist:
ok ok ok this is how you get the android pulldown with translucent background for pulldown......

first wipe data system cash.......flash the translucent file.....

then i titanium restored.....

then used metamorph to apply the android dude on the pulldown...

it can be done... just not super easy couple steps...

tim

well now the background is black.. nevermind
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:

I appreciate the input but yours made my stock deodexed root 3.30.. go into bootloop. The method i used didn't work either.... Now i have android guy pulldown with black background. I will wait for the updated version.

thanks

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
oooo i remember that. i have been busy with my root kit for 2.02. it takes a lot of work to create. send me your framework-res.apk and services.jar from /system/frameowork and i will make you a custom flashable... sorry for the long wait.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timdawgdentist:
I would love to but i have no idea how. sorry if you point me in the right direction I might be able to do it..

let me know about bootkit also friends have new hboot 2.02 trying to encourage them to root. you know how technology stuff scares people.

I am way bolder with this evo then i ever was with my windows mobile touch

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
tim, if you send me your framework-res.apk and services.jar TONIGHT!, I can help. i will be off my computer this entire week, so i will be useless. either use an app called root explorer, or astro file manager, or something to copy the files out of /system/framework and email them to me asap. my email is dkdude36@gmail.com.

thnaks for your intrest. i will try to make the theme tonight if you send me these files...

Has anybody got this to work?

-ZDK-
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
Yep. I even made a flash able with this and a few other mods.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ZEDEK:
I too sent you my framework res and service jars and you said that u didnt have time to do it b/c u were working on an updated version. The flashable zip used in here (and the metamorph) doesnt work on my phone (bootloops).

-ZDK-
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
METAMORPH! That is what I should make. Thanks for the idea. Now I just have to figure out how... In the meantime I will make your custom one. I can't until Friday though because i don't have access to my computer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] squick:
I dont know if you found it yet but here is the link for a flashable .zip that I actually just installed 10 mins. ago. It has a transparent notification tray and it has the image you are looking for. Im not sure if this has the battery percentage in it or if it was from the .zip I flashed just before I found this. If it doesn't and you would like the battery percentage in the battery then I am also putting the link as well. Hope this is what you were looking for. If so enjoy.

Notification bar and I think percentage. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826024&highlight=ava

Just percentage and actually a couple of other icon customizations see this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=752658

with this you need to go in settings, phone info, software and find out what the number under your rom is and use the proper download. I personaly like having the actual percentage.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
ya thats my thread. i am really falling behind on it. it will have to wait like 2 weeks though. WINTER BREAK!

i'd also like this for sprint lovers rom.. thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
are you fine with the same as optimal carnage? or do you also want transparancy?

optimal carnage: the transparancy will NOT make the droid itself transparent. just the parts that are transparent in the image. if you want i could make you one with the transparency and a zip that can remove it. i think this might be the best solution.

EDIT: didnt mean optimal carnage srry. getting xda names and email names confused. so that question goes out to everyone i guess
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Toxin715:
No transparency, just the banner added to work on Fresh if possible, thanks :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
toxin, what is your email? if you havent send me one already, please just send me your framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ (services.jar isnt neccesary for no transparency). thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Toxin715:
Here you are, thanks :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
thats very wired. what recovery are you using? it does have a reboot script written in so maybe it either deployed it too early or you didnt look to see if it worked (just checking, just checking)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Optimal Carnage:
Yeah I've tried and checked it several times now...I'm running amon_ra evo 2.2 its very strange as over never had a problem flashing files. I tried toggling signature verification also them though it was signed.

ok, i'll try taking out that reboot script. lemmie make sure i didnt have any typos first.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Optimal Carnage:
Wow, quick replies Dk, I appreciate the help and the work you did so far.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
you are saying it says formatting cache and then reboots? that is the order it is supposed to go in. it should be working perfectly. lemmie see if i (idiodically) included the wrong files. also, make sure you are flashing optimal-carnage-signed.zip and not optimal-carnage-removetrans-signed.zip
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Optimal Carnage:
Yeah I'm flashing the right one and I understand the order of reboot but the progress bar doesn't complete the cache format before reboot atleast that's how it seems.
