[Q] Help modding SystemUI.apk - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now i'm currently using ParanoidAndroid 3.97, (awesome ROM) but I just want one thing, when i pull down the status bar to see the notifications, and the day is above the date in a diferent line, so, I want like stock 4.3, (and i really like it), to pull down the status bar, and get the day and the date in the same line, thanks... A XDA user said to me that i have to modify in the SystemUI.apk after decompiling it in the res/layout/status_bar_expanded_header.xml the date line and add " android:singleLine="true" " but after I did it, I got something like this (see atachments), what can i do? what file have i to modify? and How?.
Thanks in Advance

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.

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. :/

How to change the font color of notification bar?

how do I change the font color to white notifications?
thank you please help me
As you can see in the picture attached, I want to change the font color from black to white as I do that?
sorry my bad english, please help me
I'm using cyanogenmod7
I also wish to know if that's possible.
You can change that from settings->CM extra->UI interface->notification colors->items title color
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
at CyanogenMod7 not have these options needs to change in the framework-res.apk, but where this meeting. xml and how to set it up?
Thanks for answering me
sorry my bad english
Ok, i did not know that CM7 did not have those settings. It was there in CM6 if i remember right.
Anyway, here is how to do it. You need to decompile framework-res.apk and open styles.xml file inside /res/values folder. Then search for the code shown below.
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent.Title" parent="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
</style>
You have to change ?textColorPrimaryInverse to ?textColorPrimary if you want white. You can also mention the actual color there like, #ffffffff for white.
Then recompile and reflash. See the snapshot below
thanks I'll try to do this
just one question I am modifying the framework-res by metamorph if after unpacking the framework-res.apk need to do signapk?
and I can leave that. xml so
<item name="textColor">#ffffffff</ item>
Thank you for your help
I don't think it will work using metamorph. I have not tried it. If you send me your framework-res.apk , I can mod it for you. You can attach it here.

Works fine on TW rom with mod style framewok to AOSP
You 'can customize the phone through pitchers, wallpapers, themes, icons, links, etc. With a handful of applications you can have wonderful personalization on your phone.
However, there are many limitations to what you can customize your Android phone. These limitations can be removed if you root your phone. In addition, there is no fun at all if you do not root, because typhoid has almost no disadvantages, and the list of benefits is ......... ..infinite!
As a user rooted, we can do the following things:
1. Install a custom ROM, a ROM is simply the phone firmware. Installing a custom ROM has many advantages. You can change the phone according to your tastes. Go to forum.xda-developers.com and enter your phone model in "type find the device ..." box at the top. The section called "Android Development" contains ROM, guides and many other things that you are not even aware of.
2. Modify Kernel [cautiously]: Actually, this part is one advanced. A kernel is well explained in this guide to AndroidCentral. Like any ROM, you can install a custom kernel, too. With a custom kernel, you can overclock the CPU and GPU (ie to increase their frequencies), tweak the battery life, and more. But the kernel to be a vital part of any phone, must be handled with care.
3. Use amazing apps that can run only on rooted phones. Here we are talking about applications, then we will cover this point below. There are a wide range of applications for embedded devices, but will focus exclusively on the customization.

No...you gotta make it yourself...there are many theming guides, and a particular one by hell_lock describes how to make your statusbar transparent. Search for these guides in the Themes and Apps section.
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");
I am not sure though but u can use this jb notification status bar , actually not made by me it's a hardwork of someone else. I t was made for creeds 3.5 but I think it will work on stock rom tooo try it and reply...(don't forget to set permission's if using root explorer):fingers-crossed:
Try this apk instead it will surely work for u replace it in system/app folder nad set permissions and then restart ur device ................. and u are with ur new status bar ( a transparent one)........ thx to simplyanin
Make sure you backup your systemUI.apk since the apk changes as the baseband (or firmware) changes.
That status bar only work on any Stock ROM if its baseband matches with the baseband from which the status bar is extracted.
@ shivamsejal , you need to explain from which firmware the systemUI.apk is taken from
I m using ddle stock rom and lost my status bar having use both ............

Blake Blader, i need to now is- if i port a rom from Tab and tab rom status bar (Systemui.apk) is below the screen (like in tab and if i based it to JB or custom roms... will it work without changing any build.prop ?
eg:- Changing Systemui.apk
Settings.apk from - Port- CM9 JB
-base- My JB
Will it Work Fine or else i have to change any other apk or scripts?
I think i will not work. 1. You cant port from a tab because of screen resolution difference (and i assume that tab have cpu armv7) so you cant port from it. 2. I think you will have to edit xml files to achieve bottom status bar. And its not on build prop (system UI of frame work i guess)
Ya....
