yes correct. but if you pull the statusbar down, it appears again on your statusbar, right?
edit: if someone could post a stock SystemUI.apk that is deodexed from either a Sprint or Rogers dump, i would greatly appreciate it
Here you go, Rogers stock SystemUI.apk:
no, this did not work. the SystemUI came back with a FC with that entire line deleted. and, before it FC'd, i also saw that it was still there...
no dice. will await Shane to take a look.
it has got to be the smali that needs changing as well. really wish i had a Rogers or Sprint SystemUI
edit: sofreshjive, that is odexed. i need DEODEXED.

Hmm not sure then if you were gettin an FC....theming on AOSP is so much easier lol

off the bat i can tell everyone that the android:id="@id/carrierLabel" within tw_status_bar.xml has nothing to do with it. this is here on the Rogers SystemUI as well. this xml is identical to the ATT one. i can't check the smali code because the Rogers SystemUI is ODEXED. i need DEODEXED

nah, just as easy theming non-AOSP if you know where to find most things...sometimes it just takes some thought when starting out.
Would you be so kind as to post your systemui for others to look at? This is something that many on GSM devices are going to ask for. If you have it working we would like to figure out how you did it.

it's def smali code, Shane. this is how it was removed from the AT&T HTC One X. i can try to download that SystemUI and see what they did but i may end up PM'ing the guy who did it.
edit: here's a ref point for the HOX http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26944751&postcount=40
no difference in CarrierLabel.smali, but there is a difference within the CarrierLabel$1.smali... going to see what was changed, make the change, and flash to see if it works.
edit: line 142 of ours needs to be deleted... still checking for more.
line 270, delete. then delete line 276. then delete line 282. then delete line 288. going to re-compile and see what happens lol

alright, so the compile and everything worked, but it's still there. gonna try one more thing...
edit: oh it's still there because the changes didn't take. doh! hold on guys heh
edit: uhhh i deleted classes.dex which is what you delete when recompiling if you've changed smali code but it didn't take. any ideas, Shane?
apparently there's problems with editing smali code with apktool so that's the issue. i'm just going to decompile standalone smali and recompile that and try again

and there in lies the same problem I was having yesterday on my windows box, whenever i tried to decompile/compile after changes were made they wouldn't stick in the newly compiled apk...ended up using my linux box when i got home and voila things saved...hopefully shane or someone else can figure it out.
You did everything I would have done.alright, so the compile and everything worked, but it's still there. gonna try one more thing...

With me spending my entire ICS existance on the Nexus S up until 2 weeks ago I compiled everything from source as to not have to deal with editing smali. Unfortunately that is not an option for us.
I would have probably ended up doing the same after getting very pissy and throwing a tantrum about not being able to it in windows.
what i'm doing now is just decompiling classes.dex seperately and i'm going to recompile. apktool hasn't been updated to take care of classes.dex yet so that is the issue. with doing this, i've learned something new, how to backsmali/smali
win win. will update here shortly...

i still can't get the changes to stick. not sure what route to go now.

I think the last apktool update was in December, so yeah, it's getting dated. And I had just assumed for what ever misguided reason that you had already tried to smali/baksmali. Though I have to admit that my results with that method have been less than stellar. The apktool method always had worked great for me, but that was on gingerbread.
Edit: Saw your edit, this SUCKS!!!! Assuming you have winmerged all the files and tried flashing the posted apk?
i try not to flash apk files that i'm not 100% are built from our stock doedexed ROM. i just used the posted apk to find the lines that needed to be deleted and modified them on ours. i could always just pull over that classes.dex file but that is risky as well since there are obv changes in that one. i'm really not sure why the latest smali/backsmali 1.3.3 wouldn't be working with this. maybe i need to downgrade to 1.3.2

I blame touchwiz that is all
seriously tho if you figure this out on windows you will save alot of ppl headaches lol
I blame touchwiz that is all
i downgraded smali/backsmali 1.3.2. still no go
so i've done this on another computer and still no dice lol
i decompiled the apk and tried it that way. and i tried it again with baksmali/smali.
if anyone has any insight as to how to get dex files to stick, i'd love to hear it.

I found this to work better for making it dissapear,
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/carrierLabel" android:background="#ff000000" android:paddingLeft="0.0dip" android:paddingRight="0.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />notice how i changed its width and height, to 0.0dip.. this removes it.
if i remember correctly you have to find both lines one in statusbar and the other in status extended, the statusbar file is just the lockscreen statusbar from what i have found.
I did this and it works

4Since the carriers were split up and the most posts in the original thread came from the AT&T themers, I think we should make that the main thread.
[All Carriers]Touch Wiz Themeing Questions
Please post in the thread linked above so we can keep all the info in one thread.
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 at time permits.
Happy Themeing!

You probably need to add the latest APKTOOL to your system path. There should be three files you can add there.2
In the layout folder, open actionbar_custom_tab.xmldoes anyone know what controls the color of the text in the header titles that are blocked off so i can change the hex to transparent.
I'm thinking SecContacts.apk res/values/colors.xml but not sure which one, if anyone could help out it would be much appreciated,
There is a text view line...add
android:visibility="gone"
to that line and you should be good to go.
