Does anyone know how to change the transparency of the status bar icons in Lollipop ROMs? (specifically the OA8 build for the Verizon S5)

I tried changing status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha to 100% in SystemUI\res\values\dimens.xml (there is no tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha), and I even tried making every color in colors.xml start with #ff, but the status bar icons still stay somewhat translucent. I have a feeling it must be something in smali, but I haven't been able to track it down...

Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm on OE2 version 5.0.2 on the Galaxy S6 Edge for Sprint. I modded the stock SystemUI to center the clock on the status bar and now i have some misaligned icons between the homesecreen and lockscreen. Can someone point me in the right direction to correct it? Thanks in advance

    Since themeing Samsung's TouchWiz UI is not quite as simple as AOSP, and sometimes even device specific, I thought it would be nice to have thread for the themers here to help each other, post tips and things like that so we can all learn and get some killer themes going on this thing.

    Also, (if this gets becomes a sticky) we can keep the themeing question threads to a minimum.

    For those of you that don't know me, I've been themeing Android for about a year and a half now. I started on the Epic 4G then moved over to the Nexus S 4G. I'm always willing to help others as time permits.

    Happy Themeing!

    1- use APKMULTITOOL [ Download Link ]
    2- put the " SystemUI.apk , framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk " in the " Other " Folder.
    3- run setup and install , framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and at the end install SystemUI.apk.
    4- after finishing the setup, put your desired application into the "place-apk-here-for-modding"
    5- run script.bat
    6- enter " 21 " and select the compression level to " 0"
    7- enter " 24 " select your file
    8- enter " 9" decompile your file
    9- Edit your apk ( from project folder )
    10- go back to script , and enter " 11 " (11 Compile System APK files)
    11- program will ask you
    Code: 
    Aside from the signatures, would you like to copy
over any additional files that you didn't modify
from the original apk in order to ensure least
# of errors (y/n)
Type input:

    press " y " and hit the " enter ".
    minimize the script.bat window, and go to the " Keep " folder.

    * the "keep" folder will create in the Multitool folder.

    12- goto the Keep folder, and delete the files that you edit them.
    13- go back to the script.bat window and hit the any key.
    14- your new modded apk will generate on the "place-apk-here-for-modding " folder. with "System_" prefix.

    also you can see the complete tutorial here

    Anyone want to explain to me how to change my Grey status bar to white? I can use apktool efficiently but can't get the color of it to change.

    In systemui:

    res/values/drawables.xml

    Code: 
    <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff[COLOR="Red"]ffffff[/COLOR]</item>

    res/layout/tw_super_status_bar.xml

    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView android:background="#ff[COLOR="Red"]ffffff[/COLOR]" android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

    since i'm no longer working on Settings.apk, i don't have one decompiled in front of me. your Settings text is made of up a headers .xml (settings_headers.xml?). iirc, the text colors/size are called in by res\values\styles.xml. i would check the settings headers to verify this and find which style it's specifically asking for.

    in regards to notification color, because there is no text style being called in, i believe this is part of the policy in SystemUI, esp since it has Layout in the name - com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.NotificationRowLayout
