Hi I am new here and have a question. I am using ninjamorph and for the life of me cannot find which file to change to add a custom background to the pull down menu. I am running stock ICS 4.0.4 rooted. I cant find it anywhere on google and all the sites i tried refer to notification_tracking_bg.png or status_bar_background.9.png. None of those work. Please help thanks.

I know moto change the name of the file but I am not running stock ICS at the moment so if you can send me the SystemUI.apk I can dig through it and figure it out.

IIRC it calls for an xml which then calls for a hex value. You have to create an image and edit the xml to call on it.
I don't know anything about ninjamorph, so this may be beyond what is possible with that method.
I will look at it and report back.

Ok, think I got it. I don't have a stock romed razr to test this on, but it should work fine.
SystemUI.apk/res/values/drawables.xml
Line 12 should be the following...
<item type="drawable" name="notification_tracking_bg">#d8000000</item>
Delete that line completely and save.

Now create the background image you want. Make it 540px x 960px
Name that image notification_tracking_bg.png
Put that image in the following place.
SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

You need apktool or something similiar to decompile the apk. Then you will be able to make the changes above, and recompile it.
After that you can either use ADB to push it to your phone, or a file manager.

I'm not sure how else to explain this. You will not be able to do this mod with ninjamorph. You need to use apktool to decompile the apk.

Did you get this working? If you have trouble let me know and I will make the SystemUI.apk with your mods. Just pm me the files (SystemUI, framework (for dependencies) and notification background image)

If there is no values folder then you have not decompiled the apk. Values does not show until it is decompiled.
