ICS Status bar color change?

---

Is there any way to change the status bar color in ICS on the NS4G from blue to whatever color u want? if so can some one kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks

Of course, this is Android.

You are only limited by your skills to do so.

Its in the framework. Just edit them. Then blah blah. Easy.

If he knew how, he'd explain it, but the truth is that he's some 12yo kid who can't create/open a zip file yet claims to be a "developer".

I'll hook you up when I'm @ my computer. And it's not in framework-res, it's in SystemUI.apk

EDIT: What did you mean by statusbar color? Are you referring to the clock/date? If so, decompile your SystemUI.apk and go to /res/values/styles.xml

For the clock, look for this line

TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock

For the date, look for this line

TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date

If you change your clock color your carrier color will change to the same

You want to change this line in both

android:textColor

Change it to whatever hex value you want. Must be proceeded by "ff" if you want the full value or if you want transparency you can put something like enter a value from 0-99, 0 being fully transparent

If your ROM has the power widget then you have to change the png's in SystemUI>res>drawable-hdpi>

Then after you make your changes recompile and if you use apktool to do that you need to sign it. I use an old version of apkmanager to sign it.

Did you decompile it or extract it? You need to use apktool or something similar to decompile. I have a guide on how to get apktool ready for ICS but you need to set up apktool 1st. There's plenty of guides out there for that, just Google it up

I googled how to decompile the systemui.apk but maybe im not understanding it clearly because i keep getting error messages.. do i use the computer and a command prompt? or terminal emulator? sorry for the questions.. im just kinda new to all this..

You need to use a computer to decompile the apk. As fergie said there are plenty if guides here on XDA and other places to learn how to use apktool or apk manager.

And you must have SDK set up somewhere on you computer with the resources set up for android 4.0.3 at c:/user/apktool/framework

I'll attach what I'm using there. You can extract this into your user folder on you PC.
