Motorola Droid :: [Guide] Change Notification/clock/pull Down Text Colors
Mar 1, 2010
There are a few ways to change the color of the clock, notification bar, and pull down menu.
Standard disclaimer: I take no responsibility for anything you do or screw up on your phone.
AdamZ has updated method A (now called Droid Customizer) and it now changes all notification colors. It will overwrite any other changes you have previously made to the services.jar and framework-res.apk files so the manual method is still useful for people who have already made changes and don't want to lose them.
A - [Release] Droid Customizer v1.0 *Updated 3/02* (edit 4/7/10: fixed this link)
If you are familiar with the installation process of the smoked glass themes then this is an option. Has 13 color options as well as 12 font options that you can use.
B - Manually (sorta) change everything. I did it this way because AdamZ's method in A wasn't out yet and I think the way described in method A might overwrite other changes you have made (not sure on that though)
This will probably look long with a lot of steps but it really isn't too complicated.
Prerequisits
Rooted
Android sdk installed and some familiarity with adb

1 - Plug in your phone and don't mount the sd card.
2 - On your computer open a command prompt and navigate to the android sdk tools folder.
3 - Type these commands:

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the text that always says "Verizon Wireless" when you pull down the notification bar? I am currently not rooted, but will be doing so in the next few days (I'm still trying to decide what ROM i want to flash to start out). I don't know if this is even possible, but I thought it would be another good way to make my phone unique.

I'm a new Moto Droid user. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the LED colors and if there is a way to control them. (I miss my blinking green LED on my BB that let me know I was connected to the Network, for example)

I would like to change the colors of the Wif bars on the status bar at top of screen I extracted the .png files (blue bars), opened them in Paint, and manually changed the color to yellow. Zipped them back up in Metamorph format and pushed them to my Metamorph format and pushed them to my sdcard Applied theme using Metamorph, and it worked, except that the background is now white. I created a theme using the original 5 files. I created a theme using the original 5 png's with blue bars, applied the theme, and it worked and it doesn't have the white background. I think I understand what's happening, but not sure how to format the pictures correctly so just the bars show without the background. Any help appreciated, thanks

I use Twicca for Twitter, which allows for different colors for the notification LED. I used to have it set for red on my Moto Droid, but it only flashes green on my Incredible. Anyone also use Twicca know what colors I can use?

Currently running Adamz smoked glass theme, but the clock in the notification bar is black. Is there something out there that would change it? I've searched on the "other board" and read his whole thread, and someone even mentions it, but no answer that I saw.

Sorry if this has been asked... I've searched and so far nothing. I just got my new Droid Eris. So far I love it, except for my text message sounds. My ringtone works as my new one. My notification sound plays my preference (Clapton's Layla) when I have an email and such, however, when I get a text message, it still plays the default sound. Is there somewhere you change this other than notification sounds?

I have a Droid and I had a bunch of events in my Calendar. I wanted to sync them up with my google account so I went ahead and did that which is all fine. The only problem is before my events were a pleasant shade of light blue. Now they changed to a kind of ugly maroon-red color. Is there any way to change the color of the boxes?

For anyone who didn't see this already over at alldroid, there is a new ROM that I am using that is pretty sweet, its a 2.0.1 rom with 2.1 apps similar to that of the bugless beauty but it doesn't move the /system apps to /data and the notification bar is a dark transparent with white clock? home screen rotation works too. It is a very nice rom and I think very quick, as quick as the version .5 of the bugless one I was using. He is also coming out with a version with wifi tethering but said u can install it separately and it works. I haven't tested that out yet. All in all its a great rom and I am definitely sticking with this one because the theme applied is super slick!

Is there a way to make the alarm clock icon go away in the notification bar? I'm big on minimalism, so I try and have as few icons up there as possible. I have alarms set every day, and I see no need to have an icon up there to remind me. Trust me, being woken up that early every day is reminder enough.

I set a custom color for my Beautiful Widget (smaller home), and the date, temperature, etc., all appear as the custom color, but the clock numbers remain white. Any way to also make the clock numbers the same custom color as the rest of the text in the widget? Or is it stuck at white?

I purchased the Math Alarm Clock (I'm a math major and enjoy math in the morning!) and am wondering if there is a way to make it my default alarm clock.
I use the Motorola Droid Docking Station and want to set the Math Alarm Clock as the default so when I press the Alarm Clock button on the docking screen, it brings me to the settings of the Math Alarm Clock Applicatoin.
Is there any way to do this?

you know those little tick marks indicating an event on the days of the calendar when you look at it in monthly view? Anybody know a way to change the colors of those? I'd like to be able to glance at the big calendar and be able to quickly differentiate between a bill payment reminder and an actual event.

I've been searching everywhere on this issue but have not been able to find any solid answers. On my Droid X, all system buttons and lists, when pressed, are a bright red color. I want to find out how I can change this color. I'm not that familiar with android, so I don't know if this is an issue that can be solved via themes, or if I need to go deeper into the OS.
