[Request] [Jellybean] "stock" google notification icons - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm offering a $5 bounty (paypal) for someone to help me out with a statusbar mod for the stock JB nandroid ROM floating around if I can get it. I can't believe how elusive this is, but I don't want the white/black notification icons in my status bar. I want them to be colorful and not dimmed like the current status bar makes the icons look. I would prefer they look just like the stock icons from 2.3 or 2.2, small versions of the icons within the app drawer. So far, I've only found them so far in crazy cartoon styles, or in a flat color (all orange or purple or blue, not stock), which I'm not into. If someone could please just make a flashable zip file for this, I'd appreciate this.
I've tried installing Apktool in windows and linux, and every time i get a bad install that won't decompile anything or the one time I got it decompiled, editing systemui.apk would work for about 5 minutes every time I pushed it and rebooted. but after the first notification (from any of the edited .png's) it would revert back to the B/W scheme. I can't find a tutorial of an apk do-recompile that is simple enough for me to get it to work, nor can I get apktool working properly. I have also not found a singleI'm striking out in every way imaginable. Can someone please help me?
I would really appreciate this if someone can help me out. I'll offer a $10 reward if someone is willing to help me get apktool up and running and walk me through the decompile, edit, and recompile of the app myself so I can learn.
Thanks to anyone who looks at this and offers some assistance

Which icons exactly do you want changed?

Primarily, ALL G-apps. I would like all of those icons to look the same as the app icons that are in the app drawer. gmail, email, gtalk, messaging, playstore (updates available, install complete), play music, etc. I'm not sure if that is specific enough, but if it's not I'll do what I can to make them more specific.
Also, I used the newer apkmulti-tool and got the apk decompiled.... but now I can't find any "Stat_notify_xxx.png" in ANY of the drawable folders... Maybe the notification icons are confined to the apps themselves now? When I was doing this before, I was trying on a sense ROM, so maybe that is why I'm confused?

I think I saw these once in a rom... or theme... whenever I'd get a gmail it would show on the status bar and it would pulse red on the gmail outline (M) until notification bar dropped ...

wait, so this launcher theme will alter my status bar notification icons without root? or are you saying this theme will give the "glow" effect when I get a notification on the app icon itself?
I am actually looking for a notification icon mod, like the real tiny ones in the status bar when you receive a new email, sms, etc. and not an adw theme. I prefer to use the stock launcher.
Thanks anyway

Lol wait I'm just showing u what I did back in my N1 stages... xD

Ah. Well, and this not a knock on you, but this is the only kind of help I've been able to receive so far: "a long time ago I used to have a phone that did it, try pulling the pngs from a ROM" or I get a link to a theme I can't use again this is nothing against you, but just a statement of frustration that I seem to be the only one unhappy with the b/w notification icons.

The app icons are contained in the apps themselves most of the time. If you want to learn to apktool pm me

[Theme]The Office (RC33) *BETA release*

Hey guys,
Here are some screenshots of the latest theme I have been working on. Feedback and suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE 4/9/09***
Made a lot of fixes based on feedback received. Clock now matches the other icons/notifications, I personally like it a lot better! Application tray handle is now a thumbtack rather than the stapler in jello (stapler in jello is now delete handle). Added matching notification icons for most common stock apps (gmail, im, messaging, market, music, etc.) Cleaned up a weird looking button. Download link below!
***UPDATE 3/27/09***
Icon pack is available below. Included are all the application icons I made, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste your own icons into so they all match. Here is my process for doing that, though I'm not in any was saying that this is the only, or even the best, way to do it:
-Open both the icon you want and the "empty_sketchy" from the icon pack below in your favorite image editing program, GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever.
-You may need to resize the empty sketchy image, it works best if it is about twice as big as your icon you want to paste into it. There are two different sizes available in the zip file below, or it is a simple process to resize it to whatever size you need.
-Select and copy the icon you are working with, and then paste it into the empty_sketchy image. Center it, do any editing you need to do, etc. Then resize the entire thing to 48x48 and save it as a new file.
I'm still making a few changes and updates to the theme, and should release another update sometime this weekend.
***UPDATE 3/25/09***
Beta version now available, see link below. I still haven't quite finished everything I want to do with this theme, but I welcome ideas/suggestions/comments from anyone who wants to test it.
This theme is based on the US version of the TV show "The Office". It utilizes both things from the show, and typical office supplies.
Done:
custom boot screen
some notification icons
unlock screen
button backgrounds
clock
data network icons
phone signal, wifi, and battery icons
notification tray
all custom wallpapers
custom emoticons (from punkymoods.com)
To do:
remaining notification icons
delete tray handle
suggestions, etc

YEAH!!! I just started watching this about 2 months ago and now I am on season 4! This show kicks so much @$$! I can't wait to see this theme in action!
beta release now available, should work with both regular and lite RC33. download link in the first post!
I like the theme for the most part, I dont know what else you would put there but i dont really like the stapler in the jello as the apps tab thing. I really love the icons, can you post those for us to download to use with other themes as well?

wow that would be awesome, i downloaded this wallpaper and resized it for the G1 and your icon set will look awesome on it
not sure about a new app tab I will be thinking about it and let you know if i think of something
I love it i am downloading now the only thing i would change just from looking at the screens would be the clock i just doesnt seem to fit in
See the first post for a link to a zip file with all the icons from this theme and instructions on how to make matching icons for other applications.
@JediMasterASD: That corkboard wallpaper is awesome. Maybe I should include that as one of the wallpaper gallery choices in the theme.

I don't think I love the clock either. I'm thinking maybe just a square clock like the kind in every office and schoolroom in the world would be better...what do you think?
Thanks again for the icons, i have already made a few more and am loving it! this is my current homescreen
I would actually like to get a copy of your theme without a graphic at all for the apps tab if possible, obviously you dont have to go changing it just for me though but my homescreen would be perfect then. Also a clock that more resembled something you would see in an office would be good too.
also something you could do is for the app tab and the notification is use weapons, becuase we all know how much dwight loves to hide weapons around the office!!!
bump for the update - see first post for changes and for new download link!!!

Hmm, like the idea, but too black for me. Needs some kind of outlining, for example, the border around the launcher. The pull out tab, I'd prefer it to be bigger, kinda like Kspec...now that would be sweet :]

Only suggestion I have is making the launcher 5x4 for some reason 4 across just bugs the hell out of me.....can't explain it, just does. haha

great theme, plain and simple, but check the search bar is.. off, looks really odd, the voice search button is hanging off the frame if you know what i mean... looks nice tho, clock is definately a keeper, and chance you could make it hero size?
-=edit=- never mind about the clock, i already had clock widget active when i applied the theme, removed and replaced widget and it's nice and big and awesomely cool thanks, just the search to sort, but you may want to wait till cyan updates again, i recon there is 3.7 in the works some time soon

I like it except for the 3g icon, would still rock the theme with or without the icon though. love how this theme looks. Especially love the keyboard
I like the 3g icon but would like to see a different battery icon, like the ophone or the pre battery icons. Lovin 1.5 though. Sharp looking.
I am gonna try to make my own battery icons and see how they look I will be customizing all the notification icons and will also make app icons for this theme eventually but I want the notifications finished before I release 1.5.Now I am gonna make two versions also with different 3g,edge,gprs Icons.Thanks for your input guys its greatly appreciated.

2. Stericson for rebuilding the htc music to work on cupcake and for helpin me understand things
3. Beagz for takin the time to help me understand more about xml edits and stayed by ready to answer any questions i had, and for the modifed htc music and music widget
4. sir mez for helpin me to learn what xmls i needed to change to get the desired effects.

9. Ted417 and Manup456 For The Skeletal Clock Collaboration
10. Irrenhaus For His Modified Launcher
11. Loccy For His Modified Browser
12. Stericson For His New And Improved Modified Lockscreen
Dark Hero 4.0.4 09/03 Stericson's New Updates To the Lockscreen Also Changed Some Things In It Graphic Wise DO NOT WIPE BEFORE OR AFTER FLASHING AND IF YOU HAVE AN ANALOG CLOCK ON YOUR HOMESCREEN REMOVE FROM HOMESCREEN BEFORE FLASHING
good job on this... but just as a heads up, you should probably add a screen shot of the clock it does come with or mention in the op that the "hero" style clock seen can be downloaded from the market. a lot of people are going to wonder why its not in the theme by default...
There you go clock and music widget it was already in the theme i just didnt think to take a screenshot of it
cool beans... itll saves you the headache of people asking, where can i get that clock widget? and trust me it will come in a flurry like on other threads... have you notice any loss in functionality with this theme on this rom? im going to flash it anyways but i wanted to know if you noticed any yet....
Very cool about to download and check it out. Are the button highlights green or orange? (I guess I'll find out, but other's might want to know.)
no i rebuilt it specifically for this rom because its the one i use
button highlights are actually grey and dark grey
Do you know what is the name of "hero" style clock on the market?

As for the notification bar, what rom are you running? It might have just not stuck.
Just a suggestion, please update the Instruction if this requires De-odexed ROM. Some people may load it and get a boot loop.

I'm about to upgrade, just woke up. I'll check it out.
Edit: I'm not having any issue with fonts. Settings.apk, Torch.apk, & framework-res.apk won't stick at all though, I'm not sure.
I ended up redownloading the zip, framework installed then, but still running into odd issues with the font, stands out the most with application titles. Terminal emulator, sound recorder, and rom manager each have a series of squares in the title as an example.

[Q] CM7 Status Bar Transparency

Status bar, not notification pull down. I've already gotten the notification working, as it was just a standard png edit.
Anyway, is there anyone that can give an explanation on how I can get my status bar to be transparent? I've already gotten the proper image from system/app/SystemUI.apk. I edited it and saved it properly for transparency. Where I'm getting stuck is the whole draw 9 thing, since the image is a ".9.png" file. I've already opened the png in the draw 9 patch tool in the SDK, but I'm just totally stuck at this point.
I sort of understand the deal with drawing black lines on the right and the bottom for the content areas, then the two dots on the top and left for the stretchable areas. But after I save the file, I'm still seeing the drawn black lines in the image. Am I not doing something right? After I get that sorted, how do I go about resigning the apk to push it to my device?
You'll need to run Eclipse, this tutorial helped me with draw nines. Once you put them thru Eclipse, the lines will disappear. Then you can extract them from the unsigned apk like the video states, use 7zip to put the images back into your framework-res.apk or whatever without having to resign anything.

I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it
Edit: Nevermind, I'm editing the right file. I just did a test and made it completely red and it worked. But, for some reason transparency is not working at all, it just keeps appearing solid black.
I believe it's in services.jar if I'm not mistaken. Or so that's what I had heard. I haven't messed with it myself.
Can you make it semi-transparent?

That's actually what I'm trying to do. And the file is actually in \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\

Yeah, realized that. it's been a long day theming for me. I will give it a shot and let you know what I get.

Yeah, I've tried about everything I can think of. If you get something put together, I might figure out how to put together a flashable zip of a transparent or semi-transparent status bar and pull down for stock CM7 theme.
Which one do you need? status bar or statusbar?

I'm not even sure what the other one is used for.

Sent you a PM.
The actual image is in SystemUI.apk. But it won't render transparent without an xml our services.jar hack. It's a pain in the ass. Also if you actually make it transparent you are going to have problems with text and image stacking when you pull down down notifications. I just replace the image in SystemUI.apk with a 480x38 top part of my wallpaper.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's ingenious. Have to give up wallpaper scrolling though.

Here's a test SystemUI.apk that you can flash that I'm using for maybe my next update on my Custom CM7 Incredible ROM.
Was made for the cm_inc_full-2 CM1 nightly 2/19/11 thanks to sonnysekhon.

Unfortunately it only works on the lockscreen, screen transitions, and with live wallpapers. I don't use live wallpapers so it just remains a black bar for me.

In ADW Launcher settings to go System Preferences, and uncheck Wallpaper Hack, and the transparency will be enabled with regular wallpaper.
With Launcher Pro, it only works with LWP.

Indeed that does work. Now, if I could only get that transparency to work with the original CM7 theme. I'm not a fan of all the extra theming stuff that particular patch adds. Thank you though.
