i know this might be an overplayed question, but i am quite new to this and have tried searching all over the threads as well as the web. how do i get the notification bar to be black?
i have tried several different things with no success. i have rooted my phone with visionary, and also downloaded metamorph, andexplorer, busybox installer, and pretty much anything i needed to try to get it black.
i tried checking out this thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783977) and downloaded the necessary zip files for the one i wanted. i was looking at the desire wifi(the one with the percentage number as the battery). i downloaded the zip and used metamorph to apply it, my phone restarted and my background changed, but no success to my status bar. please help! i am wanting the black status bar desperately! a step by step tutorial would be very helpful..and im sure other people in the future would benefit greatly from it. thanks in advance!
I'm guessing no help on this?

Now that we're rooted, it will only be a matter of days or weeks. Nothing is out for a black notification bar for the G2 yet, but with Cyanogen and his crazy color customizations in CyanogenMod6, we'll have all the customization we need as soon as CM6 is out for the G2.
I can't wait!
This is one of the main things I've been waiting on for my g2

Disregard... Metamorph allows you to do it.

thank you! it worked.....for a bit. now im having restart issues. i was able to see it once, then it restarted and got stuck on the g2 boot screen. i have to remove the battery in order for it to resume and have my phone working again. which then it reverts back to the white bar. any ideas?
You could put the desire z rom on there. That allows you to change the color of the bar.

i would have to perma-root it in order to do that, wouldn't i? and where would i get the desire z rom?

cyanogenmod has status bar colour change to any colour!
Is there any way to get a black statusbar without having to change ROM? (im using the Europe 2.1 ROM) Because i want to have swedish launguage, if that's possible
I found the solution for you guys ^^ You don't need ROM with black bar you can get white text on any ROM (not tested yet)
Install this theme to get white font in status bar:

install via recovery, then set Wipe Dalvik cache
and now you can install any other black bar with metamorph
Big thanks to the author @arekl1988r
How do i install it from recovery and set that thing (Wipe something..)? (Im using european rom 2.1 with fastboot right now)

So leave it, you need ROM with Deodex to get this working.
Hi,
I want to install Android on my HTC Touch pro. Now I've done a bit of research but I still ain't sure.
I Live in Malta, and bought an unlocked phone from the UK (eBay). I downloaded the XDAndroid thing from the XDAndroid Wiki but I don't know which is my exact model. I went with the RAPH800, and when I ran it, it seemed to get stuck on the booting. it said something about a bug :S I only could pull off the battery, as nothing else would work.
So, Im back to step one.
1. Which exactly is my phone model?
2. If it was the RAPH800, does it normally get stuck on 'bug KENDEL' something like that
3. How long does the booting take overall?
major props to any1 who helps me
EDIT: I also wanna do the Dual-Boot thing using using GenY-DualBOOT (got it from this website). Any1 can help me doing that, and if its worth it or no
Thanks guys.
P.S. I'm a noob, so I need very detailed instructions
OK, I have a new problem. i downloaded another installer, and it didn't crash. (There was a default SETUP.txt file so I used that. I'm getting to the XDAndroid screen, but then some grainy aindroid toolbar comes, my phone vibrates, and stops there :S
Any ideas (pics to follow soon)
Pics are huge, like 2MB each, and it doesnt let me post from tinypic before 7 posts -.- Hopefully you know what I mean

This might not be the right section to post this in. I would suggest going to the android development section for your specific phone.

This theme will probably evolve over time as I learn more. Right now all that is themed is the status bar. This theme will more than likely break any other mods you have flashed!

Flash in recovery, I used RA but no reason it shouldn't work on CWR or TWRP.
Does this have a themed settings menu as well or is it only the status bar?

First let me say thanks, I like the red action. Downloaded and installed no problems. Just one question/request if I could. The battery gauge just shows 100 when its plugged in, think it would be possible to do the lightning bolt instead. Not a huge issue by any means but it would be cool. I attached a screenshot just so you can see my a500 rocking the red.
Nice work!!! definetly like it... looks great and installed and ran flawlessly on my rooted Acer A100.. Didn't even break anything. Just overwrote my current status bar. I'll hold off on using though until the rest of the framework is themed as well. No rush though, I know these things take time and I understand ur just learning so its good. Don't rush it. I'm learning myself so I know what ur going through

Just wanted to let you guys know that I tried one of themes from the international galaxy s3, and they work. well all I tried wuz the system UI.apk It's nice to have the blue back ,and the centered clock ..Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Don't mess around with your phone if you don't have a backup , or if you don't know how to fix it
One more just to show . I thought someone would be interested Edit *********** SystemUI.apk Use root explorer, Copy SystemUI.apk to system/app Change permissions to match, Reboot *****&
It works thats a screenshot of my phone. No errors, no force closes. Accurate battery , No more green. I didn t say how to do this cuz ,its easy. if you don t know how to don t !!
I noticed that the status bar shortcuts are labeled wrong. The pictures are right, The words are wrong? Ill c if i can figure it out
I have been watching this theme with great interest. I will try it at soon as I get switched.
Sent from my nearly obsolete Samsung Epic 4G™
going to try it, just have to see about finding one with blue but with the normal battery. The circle one isn't for me.
edit: tried mod from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723417 but lost status bar completely. Ill keep trying others to see if I can find one that works. Just looking to switch out the green to blue and a battery mod with the percent in it or something

It seems that we need to make sure that the theme works on odexed themes
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Any progress on making sure the toggles are labeled properly? When you installed this theme, were you already on a custom, deodexed rom or the stock odexed rom?
I've had my N3 since day 1 but due to lack of a PC I was unable to root until last night. I was on MJE and rooted using Kingo with USB 3.0. All went well, got root, super user, installed safe strap recovery, etc. The problem I have is actual with the transparent weather widget I flashed. I am new to Safe strap but all I did was download and flash like I would've in TWRP or CWM and it was successful but afterwards I rebooted and I have some sort of issue with the weather widget gps and settings. See pics. Anything I missed? Or didn't do?

*Also should probably note that when I tap on the weather widget and the weather app first opens, for a real quick second it says "already registered" but it disappears too quick to grab a screen shot.

Yeah it was. I actually figured it out and solved my own problem lol. I had to delete the odex accuweather file that was under the accuweather apk file that i replaced. As soon as i deleted that and rebooted it worked. I just didn't know if i should or not because inside the system/app folder there were other apk files for other apps that had odex files below them too and those were all apk's that were stock/pre installed so I was hesitant to delete it. Took a chance and it worked out. I'll leave this up just in case it helps anyone else with newb tendencies like me lol. However if anyone needs to delete this thread or needs me to, that's ok too. Who knows? It may help someone.
