In this thread ill show you how to make that notification bar transparent.

1. take the png's ive attached to this post and place them on your SD card in the folder entitled "android themes"

take note of these file names.

2.open ninjamorph select new project

navigate through: system/framework/framework-res.apk. it will then extract all the files.

then navigate through res/drawable-hdpi.

scroll down to "status_bar_background.png" click it and change it out with the "status_bar_background.png" you placed on your SD card that has the exact same file name....then continue to replace the other 6 png's the same way.

If one of the existing png's in your framework does not match the one Ive provided (for example the existing file on your phone ends in " .9 " ) then rename it to match...not all themes are exactly the same.

3. when your done replacing all 7 png's press the blue back button in ninjamorph, select finish project, select the one that says "framework-resapk"

then just keep clicking "yes" ("yes/yes/ok/yes") then ninjamorph will tell you "ALL DONE!" and your phone will automatically reboot.

this will work fine with "launcher 2" and will most likley work with whatever default launcher that came with whatever ROM you mught be using. BUT...

...!!! when using this mod with ADW launcher, launcher pro

or any home replacement app you will need to use a live wallpaper (I use "shake em all" and then just set my own wallpaper) if you want the notification bar to stay transparent. the pulldown will allways be transparent though. (you can also use a live wallpaper called "multiple wallpapers" )

Do you have to root? Stock launchers work? Very nice work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
it does look good.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dyn0mite:
Will this work with gummyjar 2.5?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Droid-Xer:
Root is required to run ninjamorph. This will work on any ROM. Be sure to put pngs in Android Theme folder (imperative). Works best with stock launchers.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] georgepink:
update: tried my LWP again and this time it worked. will update after a few re-boots if it changes back to black, but otherwise it worked this time.

been trying to get this to work but the best I can get is my lock screen to work, but when I unlock to any other home screen or if I go to my app drawer, just a black status bar.

I am running Apex 1.3.1, and additionally have changed out my status bar icons. so not sure if that has anything to do with it, does anyone have any thought on that?

thanks for any thoughts/responses.

g

ps. a lot of my .png's in framwork-res.apk are 9.png's if that matters, and to get to at least where I am (running and clear status bar in lock screen only) I have replaced those with the new ones. When I finish the project in ninja and reboot, it force closes once, I pull the battery and it reboots. Like I say, after that I reboot after the fc and it loads without an error, but does not give me a full transparent status bar.

thanks again for looking and any help.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I was able to navigate to the folder irregardless of location. Metamorph forces you to use Android Theme folder.

I was able to get this to work but as stated in op you must have a lwp for it to work. I thought this would be acceptable but can't find a lwp that doesn't suck battery, and look decent. I purchased the light grid pro and am ok with it. Shakem up wouldnt display my wallpapers right.

Is there no way to get it to work with a static wallpaper? And in the browser its white. Though it could be transparent and white behind it.

Edit: the browser notification bar is white. Where to change? Is possible?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] trentonw:
UPDATED.....

some people brought to my attention that, on other themes, some of the png's end in " .9 " so if you run in to a png on your existing framework that does not match the one ive attched to the OP just rename it to match (usually you will just need to add/remove " .9 ")

so i updated the attached files and added a read me to both zips.

Enjoy!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] trentonw:
I'm aware of the "grayish white" when in certain apps....to tell you the truth I havent even tried to fix it. sounds like a good thing to try out right now.

shake em all loads my wallpapers just fine.....hmmm,,,you can try "multiple wallpapers"...and see if you like that..i was thinking about making my own live wallpaper that is just blank as can be and doesnt use up memory/battery..and you bet ill post it up in here if i can ever get that accomplished.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] trentonw:
you need to rename the png's i provided to match your " .9 " png's..

if you didnt do this im willing to bet thats why ninjamorph force closed and your having issues....try renaming them and going back through to replace.

btw i updated the attached files in the OP.

there are now 2 versions and i added more png's

if you cant remember wich ones were " .9 " then.....

go into...sdcard/android themes/backup/ and youll see a backup of your framework, you can load this backup and start over if necessary.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Droid-Xer:
This will only work on stock launcher and launcher2 with static wallpaper. It seems others have had success using Zeam launcher as well.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] HellRayzer:
I have launcher pro. I've tried both live wallpapers...no success.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] williams37:
How do I change the notifications text to white? I am using a black/glass status bar background and the text isn't readable (black on black)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] VoLtrex31:
Hey,

But can you back up it with out the back up of the rom?

I meant if i want to reverse it - can i reverse only what i have done and not to restore the whole ROM?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] gggabs:
so ive attempted to do this exactly as your instructions show something like 6 times... nothing is working for me except the transparent drop down menu. also, ive noticed in my /drawable-hdpi folder, i dont have a status_bar_close_on.png to replace your image with in the first place. im running 2.3.3 and im not running a downloaded rom or anything ( i think?) im still using stock everything as far as theming goes.

help!?!??!?!

also a question out of the topic.... i tried installing my apps using iAPK tool and android commander(i have more than 110 apps so it a pin to install them manually) bt every time i did so, my phone started to have probs(Lags and crashes)...

is it like we cannot "Push" apps while we are running this rom???

restore from a nandroid backup and to install the apps cd to the folder where adb is and use adb install whatever the app is called.apk (i think its adb install)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
My local retailer already has stocks for the 32GB Sandisk MicroSD Class 2 card, I know sandisk under rates their cards but Im wondering if anyone has this specific microSD card can tell me how fast it read/writes if its inside the phone..

If possible post some benchmark numbers and the name of the benchmark, no actual screenshot needed, I just want a basis of comparison so my current 16GB class6 Team brand. I really need the space more than the speed though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Haven't checked the speeds, but I can watch 720p video from my Sandisk Class 2 card, can't think of a use-case scenario where you need to read quicker than that. If you're writing large quantities of data to the phone very often the write speed may be an issue, but I suspect many people are like me and the only time they do that is when they first load their music collection onto the card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Yeah, first load of music/movies into the card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tehpriest:
Please also remember that there is no standard way of measuring MicroSD speeds at the moment and the present system only really relates to the write speed. For playing content they will all be the same it is when recording HD video that the faster cards come into their own. I have also heard that all class 2 are actually class 4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
I just got the card now and the read speeds as tested by crystal disk is twice as fast as my Class 6 16GB the write speed is only slower at sequential w/c is 4.6MB compared to the 5.xx mb that my class 6 did but all the other write speeds are more than 2x faster!

$88 well spent!!

Yes its still $88 here and its the cheapest you can get!

Hello mates,

I have a rooted wildfire with Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2. My recovery image is the Clockwork Recovery.

I want to load the Stock Froyo, now that app2SD is possible without root.

(App2sd is the only reason rooted).

I tried flashing the RUUxxxxx.exe file ,but got the error cannot upgrade your phone.

I found that signing key of the custom recovery is the causing the problem and that I have to get the Stock Recovery. And only then I will be able to run the RUUxxxx.exe file for Stock Froyo 2.2.

Can anyone tell me how I can do it ?

It will be of great help if any one can share an original "recovery.img" .

Also I am having trouble with fastboot becuase I have S-ON in bootloader.
[Wildfire General] pl0ppy:
Make a gold card. Flash stock RUU. Flash 2.2 RUU. Done! Look up a guide of making goldcard on xda or modaco.
[Wildfire General] dannystppls:
So you dont need the root anymore?

Then you should download from shipped-roms.com a WWE that is eclair run the .exe on ur pc and when its done go to (in ur phone) to the updates section and OTA upgrade to non-rooted official froyo!

(Htc Buzz:wildfire WWE is under the windows mobile section for some reason xD)

My question is, if I have a flashed Droid X on Cricket, which I do, if I go to install a new ROM, would I lose my Cricket flash? Has anyone done this before?

Any input would be greatly aprreciated thanks!
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
You will not lose your flash. Ive flashed many roms with my previous eris and with my droid x now. The only way you will lose your flash if you sbf.
[Droid X General] thegummyjar:
You will not loose the flash but you will loose internet and mms. I have done this 2 times.
[Droid X General] Ben's:
What would need to be done if I ran a different ROM to get my mms and internet to work or is it a lost cuase? I guess worse case scenario is flashig it back to stock.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Before you flash it download apn backup and restore and back up your apns. I usually use tokens V10 flashable zip that modifies certain areas so mms would work. The rom I have that is really fast and 100% working with cricket is Rumm Rx 1.0.
[Droid X General] Ben's:
Awesome, I'll have to give it a try soon! Thanks for the information guys.

Does anyone have issues staying connected to wifi on their Fascinate? It seems that I can only connect for a little bit until it cuts out. It still says I'm connected but if I use the internet it says connection lost. Then when I turn the wifi on and off it works for just a little bit again.

FWIW, wifi was absolute junk on my Fascinate when I had the Wireless Tether app installed. After uninstalling it and switching to Barnacle for tethering, wifi performance improved tremendously. Not sure if that's your issue or not though.
[Fascinate General] quarky42:
Before updating my wireless driver on my laptop, I couldn't connect to the AdHoc network of Wireless Tether (2.0.6) at all...zilch.

After updating my Intel wireless driver to v13.4 directly from Intel, it found and connected to the AdHoc network immediately and is working great now. No wi-fi drops.

I'm going to try Barnacle next. Just wanted to point out that wifi can be drastically affected by your wireless network card's driver...so update it if you haven't. I prefer to update my wifi cards directly from their manufacturer's site instead of the computer manufacturer unless there is no other choice.

Good luck.

This version should be installable like any other app.. no need for it to be on system unless you just prefer it be there. If all ideas/criticism are welcome as this is my first themed apk and it taught me a lot and im still learning a lot. The settings button is fugly and i have tried to fix it to make it look good and came up empty so just go into the settings and always hide it if you dont like it because unless someone else wants to edit it and send it to me im not interested in fixing it as i doubt its even used.

But I'm getting confused with the 2.2 threads, which is which and which includes another one ;)

Could there be a sticky topic with all custom roms ordered by version?

Something like this?

Android 2.1

AOSP mod - Android 2.1 Gingerbread

Eternity 2

X10 Custom ROM AOSP

X10 Eminence

Android 2.2

FreeX10

Isn't it a rom if you can run 2.2 while that isn't available?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbyf66:
ya but there all built of ASOP which makes them 2.2 themes. there is 1 rom, z & j's semi working 2.2.

others are making skins/themes based on that and using ASOP as a base.

ROMs should have a different modded base, ie cpu changes, gpu changes on kernel level.

I have checked and havent found something like this yet so if it is out there I'm sorry.

My question is what are some of the apps you have found since rooting your evo that are "Must Have" apps.

Like I know about wireless tether but what else.

I know I could just go to market place and look for apps but that really doenst tell me if they are any good, And I'm sure people here have found apps that they just can live without.

So what have you found that is Must haves? Utilities, social, media, games. anything you consider must have?

Thanx

Hi,

Maybe you know the windows app Belvedere, it's an app tha organizes files and folders (moves, renames, erases...) based on certain rules. I'm looking for an app like this for android. Something that , for example, moves the photos and videos into folders based on the day they were taken. ¿Is there an app like this? If not ¿What do you recommend me to keep my files organized?

Talking about organization, each app does whatever it pleases with the sd folder so it becamos a mess. I'm little obsesive about organization, so ideally I'd like to have some special folders in the root of the sd (Music, Pictures, Downloads, Ringtones...) and keep everything else at least hidden.

¿Is there a File Explorer that allows to create something like a virtual file hierachy or just uses bookmarks or similar? Something that when I open it lets me see the "folders" (real, bookmarks or links) I menntioned before. Or maybe, since it is linux based, create the folders using softlinks...

One last doubt. I recently discovered that in order to make the sistem recognize my ringtones I have to put them in the "ringtones" folder at the sd root. I have also learnt about the .nomedia file. My question is ¿how many of this special files and folders?

That's all. Hope you can help me and thanks in advance.

Is it just me, or were there absolutely no devices with NFC at CES? I thought if the idea is to integrate this technology into our lives, we should be including this into as many devices as possible. Anyone know where the NFC is?
[Nexus S General] Jonathon Grigg:
In my Nexus S ;) in all seriousness though, stand-alone devices are few and far between, maybe it's a bit too early in NFC's lifecycle? That being said, here in Australia our public transport cards use NFC and so does MasterCard (according to Wikipedia), so it is in use. I'm hoping once the NFC capabilities of the Nexus S are unlocked, I will be able to replace my SmartRider (public transport card) with my phone :D
[Nexus S General] thepro8:
NXP (the chipset provider for nexus s nfc) had nfc demos in our suite at the Wynn. We used the nexus s and mifare tags, business cards, etc.

The major nfc show though is Cartes in France. I was there last month. Nfc demos there were amazing. Check it out.
[Nexus S General] :
I ran into this video. NFC via micro sd slot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbK6n_l1m5U
[Nexus S General] thepro8:
There are micro SD, similar card, cases, and other ways to implement nfc, but embedded with embedded secure element is the best.
[Nexus S General] tonyt3rry:
Sorry to be a Noob but would this NFC technology be the same stuff found in new debit and credit cards (PayPass) as you tap your card on something and it makes a transaction for up to £10
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Nope different tech, that technology is RFID
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Actually it depends.

Blink which is in a lot of credit cards/debit cards (Including my Chase credit card and debit/check card) uses NFC. (My Nexus One "detects" it). Also newer Passports and Passport Cards have NFC.

http://www.chaseblink.com/faq.asp
[Nexus S General] Jonathon Grigg:
I know the MasterCard PayPass thing here in Oz uses NFC, so quite possibly yes ;)
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
NFC is a subset of RFID (modified to only operate at close distances). They are not independent technologies.

NFC readers can read RFID tags.
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
That's actually pretty slick as long as you retain a good amount of usable memory on the card as well.
