[Stoney 666]

I'd like to add that synisterwolf attempted which first led to fully nonworking statusbar

check your pm...

Sweeeeet!!! I was just looking for a custom notification pulldown.

Alright so I just rooted using unrevoked and have not flashed any custom roms.

Here's what my lockscreen and homescreen look like, fairly honeycomb themed.

I was thinking something with a blue transparency with this guy as the animation?

What do you think?

no problem. i have been looking for boot animations to turn into pull down animations. i feel the ones that are 320 x 480 (MDPI) boot animations work really well. they fit nicely in the menu.

Easiest way is with root explorer. Navigate to system/app with root explorer, find systemUI.apk. long press it, select copy. Then back out and select sdcard. Paste it where ever you want. From there you can either usb connect your phone and place it on your pc where you can email or dropbox it. Or if you have dropbox on your phone, you can upload to dropbox from your phone.

can i do this with astro or do i have to purchase root explorer?

Not with astro but I'm sure there are other apps that will work. But if you still have the Rom zip you are using, you can extract them from there also.

There you go... Might as well flash a Rom and stay rooted rather that ota and lose root....

 

[airjordan223]

yeah im not going to use the OTA.

sounds like the same issues are still occurring with it anyway

You're not supposed to sign the apk. You don't even need to decompile. Just use 7zip to swap the images. Unless you're doing more xml edits.

one of synisters projects has more images in the animation than yours,didn't know what to do on that

Then you need to add or delete the lines you need to match the number of images in the animation xml in drawables.

heads up stony this will work for froyo but its a little bit harder

1. Take your systemui.apk and decompile it

2. Navigate to layout folder

3. Grab "status_bar_tracking.xml" and open it up in your editor
(now for the fun).

4. Add to the first line - "com.android.systemui.statusbar.TrackingView" add this ""android:background="@drawable/...anim.xml""

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TrackingView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/pulldown"...>

5. After saving that, navigate back into the drawable folder and add your animation.xml file there. (You may use the one here as a starting point, just modify for your needs. (Honeycomb goes 1 to 39 and starts over, Android goes 1 to 30 and back down again then starts over again.))

5a. Next navigate into the drawable/hdpi folder and add your animated images .

6. Also in the drawable/hdpi folder find and open up the shade_bg.png and status_bar_background.png with your editor and make it 100% transparent.

7. In values folder modify public.xml to account for all the new images. (See birgertime's thread for Public XML Helper tool, while the tool didn't give me a perfect public.xml it did give me a a basis to begin with and I only needed to change a couple of lines.)

8. Now it's time to recompile your apk , following all the usual directions with that.

9. Enjoy your newly created systemui.apk with a pretty cool animated background. new and fresh and unlike anything before. Now run on out and show it off to all your friends who own an iPhone.




FOR FROYO: Instructions are pulled word for word and I have not tested or tried. I'm assuming the steps are the same as above except using framework-res.apk instead of systemUI.apk

You need transparency hack enabled
Decompile framework-res.apk
Go to drawable-hdpi and make status_bar_background.png fully transparent with PS or GIMP
GO to layout and edit the 2nd line of status_bar_tracking.xml like this
<com.android.server.status.TrackingView android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background_animation" android rientation="vertical" android addingLeft="0.0px" android addingRight="0.0px" android addingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

where status_bar_background_animation links to status_bar_background_animation.xml in drawable folder, there you set the images and durations.

Recompile, and that's it. Enjoy
