[Q]change clock color without cyanogen (froyo)? - Android Software Development

Is there a way to change the color of the clock on a froyo without the use of cyanogenmod parts?
I installed the TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix and themed it with theme-porter but the clock still comes out black, since in cyanogen themes it is changed through cyanogenparts.
is there a way around this? like an update.zip or something? thanks in advance

I think this guide should do it, although I'm pretty sure it's not for Froyo, so some elements might be different, but will give you a good place to start:

Transparent Clocks & Sliders

Hello to All.....
I hate being a noobie with this stuff and I have done my fair share of searching & testing (with quite a few hard reboots) but I think I'm missing something here. In a lot of the different theme.cab pics I've seen, they will have both a clear clock and slider bar. But every time I install a theme.cab file it only has an effect on the wallpaper; not the clock or the slider. Are these separate "modification" that need to be done or should installing the theme.cab take care of it all?
I've played around with the Crystal Clock install but that has caused some problems and now I can't even uninstall. As far as transparent sliders....I can get nothing to work.
Does having a transparent clock or slider require some type of "root" installation of some other program first so whatever theme gets installed will take effect?
I've downloaded the HDwall program and have been playing with it for a bit but for the life of me I can't get a custom slider to work.
If this makes any difference I'm running a Verizon version of the TP2.
As I said, I hate asking but it's driving me nuts and I'm hoping someone can give me some direction as to how to get these themes fully working. This is certainly a lot different than the older themes I used on my Samsung i760.
Thanks much,
Brian
same problem
I've come across the the same problem. I've tried to install seperate clock cabs and also whole themes. In my case the clock never changes. I installed MaxTTM tried to install the custom clocks and they never work, I actually have to restore the theme to get the messed up clock off of it. tham
nks for the help.
Hey guys, this post may be of some significance to you Verizon users.

OpenDesire isn't a Sense ROM. So I don't know where you're going with this one..
There are some themes here and there - But I guess the Sense HD ROM is the way to go if you want to theme everything.
Yes, but I want my Sense UI to look like OpenDesire(colors are white) and i also seen some themes for sense ui with white bars but they were wrong for me(I installed them and cant load) Can anybody advise suitable theme?
can't you change the statusbar in framework-res.apk? or in htc.resources.apk?
May be I can but I dont know how)
And will it also change bottom bar?
I have found Expresso-Theme for Sense but it's black too. Is there any white theme???
In the Kitchen theme here in this forum, you can customise almost evrything like %batery, icons, notification bar colors and type, etc, etc.
May be we are talking about different kitchens but i used one and recived white fantastic top bar and black bottm bar. it was awful
So your is different can you give me a link

The link is :h**p://circle.glx.nl/
In this new version you can customise the top and de bottom bar in the cianogen style.
Try and see for yourself
And sorry for my bad english...
I can't found((( Do you get clear that bottom bar is bar where buttons "Phone" "Open Menu" and "Add" located? If yes can you describe way to change it more detale?
Sorry, my mistake
I was talking about the pull down bar.
Use UOT Kitchen to bake a new Framework to flash and just follow instructions. Should be easy. and you can mod anything you want.
Hope this helps alot!
What instructions should I follow)? I noobish, sorry

[THEME] SystemGT and SystemST (MetaMorph)

I also posted this in the CM forums (copy/paste)
forum(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)com/topic/9632-theme-systemgt-and-systemst-metamorph/
Overview:
In this thread you'll find my System_ themes. All icons in this pack are original, as they've been created by yours truly. About 50% of the notifications bar has been kanged from the NexDEEP theme for SystemGT. I say 50% because some of it has been tweaked slightly.
I don't have anything against the stock Android UI, but I did feel it could use some tweaks. I wanted to stuff more icons up top so I created the set below.
(I can't post links/urls)
That idea failed, but I still ended up with cool new icons. I needed something to supplement them, so I called upon the NexDeep theme because I liked the texture. Why recreate something that's already been done? After all, I wasn't originally planning on distributing this. There was a request to see more, so I was convinced to share.
Preview:
(I still can't post links/urls)
There isn't much more to show, because just about everything else is just minor changes. Consider this more like the black bar mod, on steroids.
Well, without further ado, here's the new SystemGT link: www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?md1a03b7u31mwem
And for you stockers who want a little more flavor, SystemST: www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?ewwh75abo3slqh1
What this does:
Gives you custom system icons (They act like switches. SystemGT: white=on, gray=off, SystemST: black=on, gray=off)
Round battery tweak
Transparent scrollbars
Stock color Power Widget (optional)
Instructions:
Download MetaMorph from the Market (optionally use NinjaMorph)
Download File onto your SD Card and open it from MetaMorph
Choose your options (framework is the one you want, settings is optional)
Apply theme
Reboot
Reapply wallpaper image
The following is only necessary if no "black bar themes" have yet been applied (SystemGT only)
Go into CyanogenMod settings and change desired text colors to opaque white (#FFFFFFFF)
Enable display of battery percentage (if not already ticked, optional)
Change color of Notification Power widget indicator to #FF00BB00 (CM6.1.x, optional)
Reboot
Done
Notes: This failed for me on CM6.1 RC1 but worked again in RC3. I've never loaded RC2. Also worked in Nightly #160, CM5.x, CM6.0.x.
Can work with other themes if user is knowledgeable in tweaking XML files (for text colors). I'm also not a real dev, so I wouldn't know how to support your ROM if you've made prior tweaks.
PS The SystemST screenshot is an old one back when I had stock FroYo, before CM6 was out.
Please, if you do decide to use my icons to pack into other themes, at least give me credit. It's all I ask. Thanks.

[Q] REQ: Semi-transparent statusbar for Oxygen 2

Desperate waiting for someone to come up with a theme that has 50% semi-transparent statusbar for Oxygen Gingerbread.
Or rather, just the statusbar without theme.
Tried to modify using Ninjamorph, but device would just restart and restart.
So if someone can do it, or give advice on how i can put it there, please help.
Desire
Oxygen 2 Rc6
S-Off
Rooted
Id also like a fully transparent status bar for Oxygen RC7.
I've played around with the framework but couldn't get anything to work

can't make it work
maybe someone can provide a semi-transparent statusbar .zip please
Not only the status bar semi transparent but a full theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852023
I would love a transparent status bar always, on any ROM I use.
I know there are ways to do this yourself, customize it in a way.
but i've read and its pretty hard, thinking of doing this every time after I flash a new rom.
I dont like a full theme, but i do like to have a transparent status bar on my homescreen, like the one in MIUI for example.
Maybe its possible for theme developers here to create a flashable transparentstatusbar.zip for some of the main AOSP roms, oxygen, cyanogen, villain
I would appreciate it a lot.
yup ..... yup .... yup

Oh i was unclear. What i meant was, just the statusbar, not the statusbar menu (although the menu is very nice as semi-transparent too)
Thanks anyway
Solox
I'd like one too.
It's amazing, i have searched through all internet, and still not found working solution... tried different framework files and always ended up in boot-loop.
how hard can it be?!
Why MIUI rom has transparent status-bar and oxygen or cyanogen not?
It seems weird to have old-school win98 style (or worse) status-bar, wen we have such power in our phones nowadays. And I assume that if MIUI can do it, it should be possible...
I hope that someone figure out a working solution. I will thank this guy in advance

Fixed random FC after menu text color was changed
you can either change the xml code for the writing or more easily
and better looking imo, make the popup menus black, like how they
are in gingerbread by changing :
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_background.9.png
menu_separator.9.png
These files are in framework-res or maybee systemui for gingerbread, im not sure.
I think these are the files for the menus but have a look and
see if they look like the same thing, you can just swap them for some
stock gingerbread ones which are black.
What's the name of the clock? FancyWidgets?
@esk02k Thanks for the tips, I was thinking about keeping the white background as in the Slate skin but I will probably go for a dark background until I find a solution
@Csharpe Yes it is Fancy Widget, could not find a Slate skin for it though so it is the standard H7C one.
Edit: I just made my own skin for FancyWidget, links on first post.
ok check out this post and a few posts onwards.

i was in the same boat but never solved it because its hidden somewhere for
htc sense. I was trying to turn the menus black and the text white,
for stock android you should be able to sort it tho.
its in styles.xml
I really love the slate theme, will give this a try.

Thanks Man that pointed me to the right direction and I got it fixed.
Great! I like it.
This might just get me back to AOSP! Awesome!

Is it possible to have a launcher with an arrow for the app drawer for the dock? Thanks.

I guess it should be cut from a Desire HD screenshot and edited. I will try if I have time.
Just made a new version with stock gingerbread icons on statusbar but I modified the to glow in blue so that they blend better with this theme.
Zip on first post
Great work! Just tested the theme on Oxygen 2.1.1 and it looks fantastic. The blue is not too strong so in my opinion looks great! Keep up the good work!
One request if possible, can the battery percentage be removed?
Would anyone be able to make this into a Theme Chooser theme for CM7? I'd love them forever!
I am having FCs on Oxygen 2.1.2, PLEASE update!
Can you update this for 2.1.3?

Agreed, this was a great theme.
Updated Theme for 2.1.3 compatibility. I will keep only the version with blue icons on status bar.
Looking Fabulous. It's simple, and elegant....like me really. No seriously thanks for the update, and its a great tribute to not just yourself, but to the UOT Kitchen, which grows from strength to strength.
Will we be seeing a Dev-null version?
Thanks and Regards.
must have on my phone

I do not plan to do a devnull version but you never know
I did this theme for myself and I am happy with Oxygen, If anybody wants to convert it for devnull, feel free to do so and share.
