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. :/
Well, it seems there are lots more to learn with my wildfire..
i've search few thread but their problems were not solved.
I've downloaded a theme file which i got it from internet, it's an .apt file. i have no idea how to install it into my wildfire.
here is what i've tried:
zip the apt file
go into recovery mode
install zip from sd card.
and..
nothing happened then =(
anyone knows please teach me? thanks a thousand times =D
i dont think those .apt files are supported on android phones.
if you wanna theme up your notification bar etc go here and upload your framework.apk
http://circle.glx.nl/
if you're looking for an actual whole theme for the phone, look around xda for a port, i don't think there are many or any for the wildfire. these are usually flashable zips.

wow. thanks for your fast reply.
i've actually found another way, which is download themes using ADW launcher and it worked.
just that the dock can only fit 2 icons and cannot be added. just figuring why... the screen shot of that theme showed 4 icons..
how is this http://circle.glx.nl/ working to change my statusbar ? what should i do ?
what framework should i peek from the kitchen for wildfire ?

Upload the framework of the rom you are using. That's what it says.

I thought this was maybe a problem with the theme I downloaded, but I've tried 5 other themes now, and it's the same story. I'm running RC1, and am using RC1 themes.
I download a theme, place it on SD, wipe cahce and dalvik, install, reboot...and nothing happens. I go into themes and the same 3 are still there...I try going through each of the 3 themes, and they aren't what I've downloaded.
So what is going on?
anyone, anyone? Bueller?
Are you trying to install themes that can be used with the theme chooser? Or are they flashable zip files? Because if they are for the theme chooser the theme is a .apk and needs to be installed like a app. You can do this using most any file explorer.

I have tried both flashing them in recovery, and installing them through the market. None of them work. You go into "theme chooser" and the same 3 are still there that show up when I've flashed the ROM.
I've tried this with the RC build, and the nightly build of CM7...none of them work.

- Bliss
- Honeycomb

Which are zip files and which are apk files?
Mixer and honeycomb alpha v3 are apk files installed as true blue stated earlier. R2D2 is zip file that is flashed but not sure if working on nightlies since RC1. Others I do not know of....

Honeycomb is the only one I've gotten from the market...the rest I've flashed in recovery.

The honeycomb theme from the market is an adw theme. The others that you flash will not show in the theme Chooser. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Oh, ok well I'll try that.
But that doesn't explain why when I flash things, it doesn't show up in theme chooser.

Flashed zipped files do not show up in theme Chooser. Theme Chooser themes are apk files.
Adw themes show up in adw settings and choose theme.
In short, tmo/cm7 theme engine (theme Chooser app) only accepts apk files themed for this engine. Some are on the market and some are available through searching.

ok with that being said
how would you explain the themes not showing up once they are flashed through cwm?
for example for me...i flash Bliss in cwm for cm7 RC1 and as soon as the phone boots it shows the new theme
but in Bballs case the new theme he flashed doesnt show at all...even though he followed the same steps as i did...flashing Bliss in cwm on cm7 RC1
any idea why its not working for him?

Let's think it through. All things being equal prior to flashing the theme, what possible causes are there? First, bad download. Second, things are not equal prior to flash of theme. E.g., some settings or theme each phone has set is different (system or cyanbread for example). Some ideas??
Where is this bliss theme?

well i know for at least me
i flashed Bliss on a fresh cm7 install...so the system theme was the current theme...other than that it was a normal install that i flashed Bliss
now Bball may be different...but im pretty sure he tried also on a fresh cm7 install...but i wont assume...im sure he can fill you in on what he did
EDIT: just to clarify my fresh install was cm7 RC1 and nothing else...no faux kernels or other icons or themes....flashed cm7 RC1 then after boot and initial setup i booting back into cwm and flashed the Bliss theme

I always wanted some clear and good looking buttons in the notification bar.
I took the buttons from a LG Optimus X2 framework and fitted them on our beloved Optimus One.
Here are some screenshots:
You can get it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yugk8hq2kiqv552
Cyan version attached.
Original version attached.
Instructions:
1. Download it.
2. Place it on SDcard.
3. Boot in Recovery Mode.
4. Flash it.
5. Reboot.
6. Enjoy.
I hope I will have some time to port the entire LG Optimus X2 Theme.
P.S: This is my first attempt on themes, be gentle.
works
pretty good for the first try.
thanks
Glad you like it.
Do they work on stock 2.2 rooted with lag-fix kernel?
They should work without any problems.
Please do a nandroid before applying.

It's designed for 2.2 ROMs, that's why you get white background.

What? If they were taken from the 2x framework, they should have transparent bg anyway, plus, its not hard to open gimp and mod the background transparency.
Its great, just could be fixed.
@badeaoian, im not complaining, your just trolling people who point things out and suggest things to devs. I rest my case

I am trolling people ? Dude, you are missing something. If it is that easy, open gimp, fix it and then post it for others.
I don't have much time to support this mod. And nobody will use it anymore since cm7 and other custom builds which already have theme chooser inside.

doesnt work on matt cm7, flashing from clockworkmod it resulted to something like "amonra script...no longer supported..by google", and im sure i had downloaded the
LGE-res-CYAN.zip version
I can't flashing this.
i use cm7 mik's 6.5.7
Anyone try it with Mik's CM7 and flashing it without CWM recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102755
I want this, I don't like the black status bar, it makes my screen looks smaller and I don't like to hide it.

It should work, but I don't have CWM Recovery so I'm on the fence to try it out..
Yea. There's an update.zip file which I tried. Makes the status bar transparent with multi picture live wallpaper. Flashed with CWM.but there's no easy way to go back..
I have used it for a very long time ( when I had 6.5.2 ) ..... but it is not updated for 6.5.4 :-(
It replaces the systemui.apk ... so I guess only those who have 6.5.2 will be able to use it
For returning to black statusbar, backup systemui.apk and replace via adb.
Ahh ok guys. Not worth the trouble I guess?

You have to deodex Mik's or Andy's rom for this.
Did this last night, the theme is awsome!
I'm now on Andy's CM7.0.3 RC4.1 with this theme. Awsome!
So the procedure:
Take the rom in linux or windows with cygwin and jdk.
Load it into the kitchen.
Deodex it with the kitchen.
Flash the new packed rom.
Instal the theme.
Flash your own patch made with the patcher for MEIZU.
...
???
Profit!
is it possible with standard android 2.2.2 to have transparent status bar?
For all you guys that flash the patch, don't use the multi-pic live wallpaper. If on ADW, take off the wallpaper hack in the settings, and you will get it. I even think that LauncherPro has it too.
All I want is the.transparent status bar how do I apply ? nevermind i see should of read more

Mik's Rom isn't deodexed.
This patch needs a deodexed rom to work. So you first have to deodex it. If you want I can deodex it and upload it for you. Had the same problem, I'm using the same the but with andy's CM7. Tried it with mik's first, deodexed it and the patch worked. But then I switched the rom.

Here's the deodexed version: http://www.multiupload.com/4EDXYIMXMA
^ I dont know what yuo've done but on flashing your rom, only 200-700kb is free on the internal memory! where as other wise its above 30mb!
somebody do something to make that transperant bar work with cm7 6.5.4!!!
What about neojn devoid froyo rom, can we get transparent bars too
Froyo roms don't support transparency in the statusbar as far as I know.
They are missing the SystemUI.apk in whichs classes.dex the class for the Statusbar is in which one variable has to be changed.
okk its working for me...
S1ckness(thnkz to him) above posted deodexed version of miks 6.5.4 download tht first
1- backup your data using tb. boot into recovery wipe all ur data do fresh install
cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mik-6.5.4-deodexed.zip
2- after installing reboot..
3-again reboot into recovery
3- install this small patch(zip file) download the attachment (i extracted system.ui.apk and framework.res.apk from the above rom and patched it through UOT Kitchen)
4- reboot
5- install a zunes them (meizu_v8_0_for_cm7_by_zdunex25-d3h0m0i.zip) theme given in 1st post.. (Extract MEIZU_MDPI_by_Z25 from the zip + wallpaper.png)
6- to make it work if u are on ADW launcher in its setting untick wallpaper hack..
7-if using launcher pro(like me) download multi live wallpaper from market nd set a single image(wallpaper.png or any wallpaper from ur gallery thru multi live wallpaper) as a wallpaper using multilive wallpaper.. You can find multilive wallpaper in live wallpaper section after installing it.
for me its working great. am using the 6.5.4 miks rom posted by the guy above some post + franco v17 cfs kernel + dark tremor data2sd.. trust me its working awesum...
here are my screens
Honestly if lp user have to use multilive wallpaper then its actually not worth it. Multilive wallpaper isn't that lite. Makes scrolling and stuff laggy for lp. It should be like you can use any any wallpaper without multilive and should work.. perhaps sometime somewhere in future. But this method isn't just worth it.
