Welcome to the offical Status Bar Modification Theme for the NST! Encompassed in this theme are three mods:
• framework-res.apk, the file which contains all of the images most Android devices use in their user interface.
• ReaderRMSDK.apk - the stock B&N reader app.
• Shutdown Images - the images the Nook uses when it is either shut off or booting up.
Let's get right into it!
Features
ReaderRMSDK.apk
• All of the battery icons in the status bar are upright, not sideways (more Android-looking).
• The non-charging icons have black bars instead of just a long black strip to show the battery status (for easier reading of exactly how much battery life is left).
• The GlowLight symbol is modified to look like the "brightness" symbol - when the light is on, there are little rays around the circle, and when the light is off, the little rays are absent.
framework-res.apk
Changes are the same as ReaderRMSDK.apk except for:
• All battery icons are white-on-black, instead of black-on-white (because the stock Nook reader's status bar is white, opposed to the device's being black).
• I also modified the WiFi signal icons to appear like the cellular-data bar graph style icons {which is what Windows 7 uses for WiFi (which is where I got the idea)).
framework-res.alt.apk
Changes are the same as framework-res.apk, except that the Reading Now button has been changed to a NoRefresh button. It can be used properly by installing Nook Touch Mod Manager and assigning "Reading Now" to NoRefresh.
framework-res.alt.batterypercentage.apk
Changes are the same as framework-res.apk, except that the status bar battery indicator now uses @vikramam's JB Circle Status Bar Battery Icons so that you can see the exact battery percentage remaining on the status bar.
framework-res.alt.batterypercentage+graymenu.apk
Changes are the same as framework-res.alt.batterypercentage.apk, except that the settings backgrounds have been changed from white to a dark gray to fix the white-text-on-white-background issue that occurs in several places on the Nook. This mod came from @nmyshkin and @mergen3107 in this thread - thanks, guys!
New Features:
• Edited Back, Menu and Notifications buttons
• Edited Settings and Search QuickNav buttons
• Edited Settings and Search headers
Shutdown Images
• Changed the "Read Forever" text in booting.pgm to "Rooted Forever".
• Changed the "by Barnes and Noble" text in all of the shutdown images and rendor-0.png to "powered by Android".
• Changed all of the text in all of the shutdown images to be in the Continuum font (the XDA logo font)
• Changed the boot animation dots to a sliding black bar.
Hardware Requirements
These files were edited on a Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight using firmware 1.2.1. Please don't try this on on other firmwares. You can use this on a plain NST without GlowLight.
Installation Instructions
• framework-res.apk - replace existing in /system/framework.
