[Theme/Mod] Black Status Bar/Quick Setting & Lock Icon Removal [SnowJB!] [3/08/2013]

Hey again, I have redone this with the SystemUI for the SnowJB Rom. I didn't even want to install JB until I had the time to do this.
Do a backup first. I make no promises and take no responsibility for your OG's spontaneous combustion resulting from flashing this.
I would suggest wiping cache and maybe even dalvik after flashing.

Reported working on stock AT&T Roms. I can't vouch for this because I have not tried it. Backup if you wish to attempt it.

I also modified the QSlide add on to black it out for those who would want it.

SnowJB Black Status Bar/Quick Settings
V1: Self Explanatory, see screenshot 5. View attachment 1750838
V1.1 Same as V1 with the QSlide bar, see screensot 6. View attachment 1753136
V2: V1 with the clock color changed to stock blue, see screenshot 7. View attachment 1789917
V2.1: V1.1 (QSlide) with the blue clock. View attachment 1789920


Original ICS Post:

Hey guys, I have been playing around in some of the system .apks and making some small edits to them and wanted to share.
I am running The Base Rom and therefor (for now) all of these use Base (7.3) .apks.
I would not install these on any other Rom without a backup and the understanding that I have not tried them myself.
I adapted The Base Rom v.0.7.3 update.zip script (because I have never made an update.zip before), so I would like to thank Nottach for the original script.
If Nottach has a problem with this, please let me know, I will remove it.
I have absolutely NO affiliation with Nottach or The Base development, if you run into any problems Nottach is NOT responsible.

I have heard it works on stock if you delete (or rename) /system/app/SystemUI.odex after you install it (and then reboot again), I can't guarantee it will work correctly, but it is reported to work. As always, backup first.

Also posted working on Nocturnal, again, backup first.

Base 7.3 black status bar mod.zip (V1-3)
I have made the status bar for The Base v.0.7.3 black (and the Quick Settings background in V3).
V1: This is a darker (very dark gray) status bar, but not completely black. (screenshot 1)
V2: V2 is a pure black status bar.
V3: V3 has a pure black status bar and also themes the background for the Quick Settings (screenshot 2).
V4: V4 is V3 with the gray dividers removed from the Quick Settings (screenshot 3).

Base 7.3 lockscreen no icon.zip
I noticed when using the first lockscreen clock (the minimal one) that it added a lock icon in the middle of the lockscreen.
I have removed it and the small animation that goes with it (I have only made the .pngs transparent, they are still technically there).
(See screenshot comparison [pic 4]).

This comes with the normal disclaimer, I have installed these successfully on my phone with no issues, but can not promise a similar result for you.
This replaces system apps from /system/app/, so I strongly recommend either a system backup in recovery or at least making a copy of your version of the edited apps before installation.

Install via recovery.

Thank you for your support, I'm a noob, but really love getting my hands dirty here.

What lock screen are you using and what is the button on the bottom left corner

I believe that they are using the tsf shell home screen replacement and that button is apart or the app that brings up an overview of the diffrent screens

That is true, it is TSF shell, Apex was laggy for me. I am also using THIS clock and THIS app launcher.

TSF Shell is HERE. It takes some getting used to.

Apex is so smooth for me

Just flashed this, v2. Works great! Thanks for the work.

Edit: Flashed v3. Also awesome. Thanks for the work! I need to learn how to do this.

 

[Nastybutler]

This looks great. I'll flash it tonight after work. Any chance for all white text/icons in the status bar too?

Ah, nice to know it worked.
I was planning on making a stock one soon.
There could still be issues, I'm not sure (don't know how much Nottach did to it his version).

I'm hoping to do a stock one, but have to learn to deodex first (am looking into it).
I can't promise anything here.

I'm loving the blackness! The lock icon removal is sweet too. Thanks!

Make a backup and flash it. If it doesn't work, it's not like you'll brick the phone. :thumbup:
