Different launchers do different things, adw launcher lets you do all of that.... you can find a link in my signature.... and you have to be rooted

Wrong... launcher will not replace status bar.
Everything for status bar is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk
You need to pull it out of the rom, modifiy it in 7zip (without extracting it) and push it back. Sounds like a lot or work but is actually easier then it sounds.

I apologize for the misinformation... I thought it was ADW that allowed me to do that, however, it is the CM rom I am using...

Yes, all the icons and bar colors are in the framework-res.apk but the clock is in the servives.jar that lies in the /system/framework folder. Also you may have to resign those files when your done with them, not sure with CWM recovery.

Thanks is that as hard as it sounds im kinda new at all this but with step by step can usually get it done

New notifcation bar

Is there anyway i can download/flash a new notification bar on my ROM from another ROM?
I am currently running Damage v4.6.
I got a black notification bar zip from someone a while ago that worked with WW I think, but it causes reboots on the CE based roms.
I'd also be interested to know if there's a way to switch the CE based roms. I haven't checked into the metamorph themes, just was looking a little bit this morning, but that may be an option.
You can MM a new notification bar if you want to with the CE roms. Or if you feel up to it, find one you like, pull the pngs from it, pull your framework-res.apk file, replace the pngs in it with the ones you want push it back to your phone and reboot.

Making a MM file to replace the color of task bar is like 4 or 5 pngs to replace. Very simple to do.

Search and learn. They are located in the framework apk and they are called something along the lines of bottom bar. Cant rem each file name.

The one and only way to change your notification bar is root. The notification bar is part of the framework-res.apk in the system. To modify this file in anyway you need root. Sorry your out of luck
Check out G.O.T's Openrecovery......it will allow you to root if you haven't already and has a nice theme included with a black notification bar!
Am using it right now and looks good...although I would suggest not installing the fonts as they are slightly messed up on the new update.

It doesn't work for the 02.38 leaked build from GOT Team...or rather, it works but it mess up all the text, because Motorola have made some changes in framework-res.apk on that build. With the past build, 02.31, it works flawlessly.

You can try to remove got theme, in OpenRecovery folder delete "fonts" and retry applying theme. It should go
I wasn't referring to the GOT Theme (I've tried it and it works, even if I don't like it that much) but to the SenseUI/Black notification bar linked by iamdarren on droidforums.net, it confuses some texts on the Shols_2.38. For example when you want to shut down the phone, it shows "airplane mode" instead of "shut down phone" and other things like that.
I know it's an old thread, but ia am also looking for a black notification bar.
Using Telus build 3.11.
Anyone th files?
does anyone know if this works on milestone xt720 eu ver? and 2.1 upd-1
The ss evo theme for droid (has to be installed over simply stunning 4.7) has a nice notification bar. Dunno if u can install just the bar though. :/

Modified mms.apk

Has anyone been able to replace the stock mms.apk with the one that has the extra features, it says its only for 2.1 but when i try to use root explorer to paste it, it doesn't stick. Any help i would be grateful.

I havent had any problems with root explorer. Ive used it to move files from dropbox to folders, delete bloatware, create folders for ringtones/notifications that i imported and install a few .apk's. Is there something i'm missing or should keep an eye out for?

Mind sharing the modified mms.apk? What is exactly "modified"?

Here is the link that explains the added features and the download link. The only thing i can't get to work is the colors of the led aside from that works just as stock.

i also was able to use it before.. not sure if the update or kernel i'm running now killed it
I was able to install but it removes messaging app from dock. Anyone else with this issue? FYI this mod app LETS you send/receive mms while on wifi
I must not be following the terminal instructions correctly. when I type the cp command line it tells me that cp is not found.

Yeah I'm running a custom touchwiz where you can edit the bottom defaults and the apps. The new Mms.apk does remove the messaging icon, but with the custom touchwiz launcher that I'm using you can put the Mms icon back.

hi, care to share youre custom touchwiz launcher? thanks
I will post it whenever I get out of class. The only issues I had with this touchwiz launcher is that the google search widget is overally large and the samsung widgets do not load. So I deleted the samsung widgets.

So just the icon in touchwiz gets broken? Everything else works?
The custom touchwiz launcher I had didn't look right. The dock icons were smaller and widgets didn't fit the screen right. Anyone have one that doesn't have these issues

[MOD][KJ3] 9 QuickPanel Toggle Options

Modded version of SystemUI to add 9 Toggle functions to the QuickPanel. There is also longpress options to go directly to the setting.
I have only tested this on KJ3 so I'm not sure if it'll work on previous versions or not. Use at your own risk.
Special thanks to crt60 for helping me get this running in KJ3

Deodexed and CWM ready. Enjoy
Nice. thank you.
I missed this feature coming from i9000 bl to att bl. Thanks a lot.

If running a custom version of ROM KJx, will this also change my battery, clock, data and wifi icons in the notification bar at the top of the drawer back to stock?
Awesome, I extracted the systemui.apk and used root explorer to drop it in system/app then rebooted and it worked flawlessly! Thanks for this.
Yes some of the bar icons are controlled by SystemUI.apk, but also from framework-res.apk so I'm not exactly sure what would change.
I had a similar situation with a previous rom where sometimes my signal bars world be white and sometimes green because the framework file had green icons and my sysui file had white.
Its best to backup your files, in this case SystemUI.apk, before trying out a new one

Awesome mod!! Been wanting this for a while now. I was even trying to get this done myself but it just didn't work. I can report this works!! Thank you for this!!
There are two small things I noticed I just thought I would mention though. Carrier name is not shown in the drop down, and when I scroll to any side, there is no overscroll glow on the sides. I am using crt60's power menu and crt off mods.

it appears that this only works for deodexed ROM
tried it after flashing the KJ3 odin one click and status bar will not start keeps force closing
IM assuming that if one was to deodex the stock rom it would work
but wouldn't it be simpler to make a package like this that works on stock odexed?
Actually if i remember correctly it is more difficult to theme an odexed rom as opposed to a deodexed.
How easy would it be to re-odex this package so it would work on an odexed ROM? Is that some thing i could do myself?
If so how? Im sure there are other people wondering the same thing.
I would love to have the 9toggles but it seems this is impossible with an odexed rom. why-o-why?
I installed your system.ui apk with root explorer sucessfully onto Fasty's KJ1...only changes were; lost transparent dropdown and logo, and 'H' is now 3G only (native to KJ3?), and wifi + data icon are stock...these are all non-issues for me as the usefulness of the 9 toggle trade-off is well worth it! Fasty's KJ1 battery icon (personal favorite) remained! Thanks.
Same result as above. Thanks.
This is Blitz76's 9 QuickPanel Toggle with the over scroll fixed.
That was my bad.....

Thanks crt60, I tried the update you posted but I still don't see the overscroll glow. I flashed from cwm, then I tried just copying and pasting w/ root explorer. Am I doing something wrong?
Oh and did you guys remove the provider name from the drop down on purpose?

The over scroll I'm talking about is when you scroll it, it went too far to the left. I have absolutely nothing to do with the code, I just assisted with some graphics.
There is no "you guys" about it. Its all blitz76. I wouldn't have even posted this fix if I didn't think he was really busy and might not be back for a few days.
Does it work on KJ2 ?
Anyone try on KH3 Pinnacle 1.3?

Also got FC but managed to get it working.
Use a file manager to mount /system/app rw then rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.old, then reboot. This should fix the issue.
However I noticed that carrier name is now gone from pulldown menu, is it by design?

I second this. I'm using a "simulated" version of this theme if you will, with just the wallpaper and some icons. Would definitely love the full themed treatment.
Definitely one of the best themes I've seen.

Damn that is ugly as hell. However it is easy. Easy but time consuming. Download that APK and also copy over one of the themes such as um well that Marshmellow app. Rename the apks to ------.zip and extract both. Now just looks for the same icons so e.g. the browser APK replace the one from that CM theme and so on. once all is done rezip it and rename is back to .apk and install.
