jikobutsu: Have you noticed when you turn the noticiation bar widget off there's a weird second blue line right above the date. It looks awful

[jikobutsu]

@lippo38

Then you did not follow the instructions, these mods are tested and working, you did something wrong. But if you followed step two it is no problem.

2) have update.zip on sd card in case

If you followed that step, you can just flash update in recovery, if not, download the tool from link below.

Dont panic, your device is ok, go here: http://www.modaco.co...ll-in-one-tool/

I not noticed, did you turn it off in build.prop or somewhere else ? In build.prop there is a line to turn toggles on/off.


edit: I cannot see it on my device ?

@lippo38

Did you install the battery mod on the orange rom ? If you did it wont work, the framework-res is not same,  so my fault for not making that clear in first post

Ah might just be on the Xolo ROM. Yes I used build.prop to disable with widget but re-enabled it as the bar was distracting. Must be a weird modification made to the Xolo framework.

[lippo38]

I installed the battery mod on xolo rom.
I really not understand what was wrong, i followed clearly your instructions but it didn't work.

[jikobutsu]

Which battery did you install, I will take a look this morning as I need to go back to xolo rom to do a centre clock mod.


edit: Just reflashed xolo rom, tried few mods, no problems here. You must of made a mistake.



Also added centre clock on the mods so will sort those out later


edit: centre date too now

edit2: and just for the crack, I enabled ics softkeys. I am sure the novelty will wear off soon and I want my 1cm of screen back

I really don't like the blue line below the toggles and above the date. It's not there in a stock ICS ROM on any other phone and it looks very bad if you disable the toggles completely. I haven't found the file that has the line in it so I can remove it.

@Flibblesan,

Systemui/Res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_hr.9.png

Its a real pain though, I have a png with the blue line at bottom and rest black so the top line would be black, but it still goes blue. If you use a PNG that is one color, it will make both lines that color. I cannot work out how it is using the png, but I will figure it out lol

edit: not finding it easy to make the ics blue a small section because of the size of the png lol, I did try a larger png which made it easy to have blue at 10% of the png but, it still colors both lines blue so I figured it needs to be done on the small png.

Yes that tiny blue dot below is the png

hmm ok. Must be in the XML files somewhere that is essentially using that png twice. It looks awful to me and quite noticeable when you modify the toggle buttons

[jikobutsu]

New mod

remove carrier label from bottom of statusbar pulldown (custom carrier label when I work it out, intel make things hard)

simply open your systemui.apk and navigate to res/layout/statusbartracking.xml

now overwrite it with one attached

push systemui.apk back with adb or on device with root filer app, make sure permissions are 644

Finally, after lots of searching I solved it.

As you said, it is an xml using one png twice, statusbarexpanded.xml

Change the first one too @drawable/status_bar_bg_tile"

<View android:backg round="@drawable/status_bar_bg_tile" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="2.0dip" />

Thank you! As soon as I get my phone back I'll mod my framework with this.

[jikobutsu]

Screen without toggles

Note: it is systemui not framework

I been working on transparency all day, right headache

Anyway, here is screens of the two options I have come up with, showing with or without toggles, you can turn on/off in build.prop by changing the number 0=off 1=on  

ro.product.statusbarwidget=1

You have to be on xolo and deodexed to use this, if you are not, you will bootloop and have to run fix brick in rickywyatt tool!

Thanks to rickys fickbrick tool, I have bricked and bootlooped many times and I still alive

Both these mods have carrier label disabled because I dont have it there.


Instructions in the zips:

Transparency in notification area: https://www.dropbox....tifications.zip

Full Transparency: https://www.dropbox....ransparency.zip


Edit: both have been updated, one of the pngs I used had a line going through it.
And the notification highlight (when you press)although ics color 33b5e5, looked kind of green because it was at 50% transparency, so changed to 25% which in effect is like 100% as there is two levels of transparency behind but still looks cool
