I'm looking for an app of some kind to customize the notification area (get rid of non essential icons)
any suggestions?
Dunno if this helps but I haven't heard of an app to do that, and if you wanna just get rid of some non essential icons, I just edit the framework-res.apk file on my computer. Extract the correct png files, edit, and metamorph it on phone. Editing the notification bar is a pain in the butt though, but I don't think it should be all that hard to get rid of some Icons, give it a try and don't forget to backup incase ;p
maybe someone will have a ebtter suggestion but thats all i got for now

Does any body now how to make the status bar transparent.
I have googled for hours and can not find it.
Plz help
the status bar in gingerbread is transparent by default.
I think he means the top bar itself, not the dropdown background. Which iirc is not actually transparent, but lots of ROMs have it built in. Also, I think Kyouko should make it
BANG! from my shooter...
I am talking about the the top bar. I am running cm7.
the only transparent bars I can find are for hdpi roms.

isnt that what ZduneX25's Theme Patch is for, which is supported by the gingerbreadEx theme?
Thanks kyouko. A little to much work for me though
To get transparency decompile SystemUI.apk
and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml
and change the value to #77000000
and dont forget THANX if u liked....

but how to transparent the top bar?
First off, you'll need Gingerbread. That's the Android OS that supports transparency in the top bar. Second, you'll need something to change your top bar color. I do believe CyanogenMod 7 has an option for it somewhere. You'll have to change the alpha setting on it to adjust transparency.

Buddy first I will explain what u have done.
In statusbar tracking inside close drag handle u removed image view created a new layout and added carrier text and com.android.systemui.statusbar.clock to it. Now u also want status icons to be added to it. So u copied the linear layout with id status icons to ur layout in statusbar tracking and compile and u get fc.
Now I explain y. In ur statusbar.xml at start there is a line com.android.systemui.statusbar.statusbarview and then inside that all ur things are placed. The status icons are showed not just because they have id but because they have a method linked to statusbarview and when ur statusicons id is used inside that view than only it works. And if u say y clock and carrier work. They world because they are independent smalli's. Again same is not the case with dateview. Even tough we have different dateview.smalli but it is linked inside statusbarview.smalli so after pulldown it shows dateview on statusbar. And if we want to remove dateview we change its text and backgrounds color to transparent. Basically we hide it nor remove it. If u delete com.android.systemui.statusbar.dateview from statusbar.xml u are bound to get fc bcoz statusbarview.smalli and statusbarservice smalli is made to show it and they found it missing in layout even tough its code is there in smalli file.
Now I give a solution. If u want to bring status icons..I suggest u use statusbar greper coz it has all the status icons needed and u can theme icons to. Or u will have to duplicate the whole status icons method which as far as I know I very time taking and very less chance of succeeding.
I am telling coz I tried the thing but it didn't work and my new systemui mod already has greper where u want them to be and works properly. I haven't released it yet. Good luck

Hi. I am just a newbie, an average guy who only knows how to theme using xposed. I have my Grand Prime XCU 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 already and themed some like my status bar using Flat Style Colored bars. I wanted to color my notification bar the way Flat Style Clored bars does to my status bar. Is it possible? If not, Can anyone please make my notification panel (I meant the Blue color) a lil bit blurry? Like a foggy glass maybe. Also the icons when pressed to white not the usual green. Hehehe. Thanks!
u need to decompile system apps using apktool. i wont teach u how to use apktool. ofcourse it does not end there, u have to know basic theming. probably systemui.apk can be found in system/app partitions but if u want to change everything on the notification panel. u have to decompile the frameworks. google it
Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...
Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess
Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry
