What's up all. Looking for someone to help out on this.
I've been trying to find a way to make the status bar semi-transparent. (not notification bar) Is there a way to flash a zip file and have the status bar transparent or half way so the wallpaper is showing. This will make the screen look bigger and the over look on sense themes will be sweet.
I'm using the mannup revolution theme that comes with redemption rom.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It would be awesome if someone could make a standalone zip (the one in the post includes the round battery indicator) with just the transparency
Lots of transparency mods don't include transparency on the item backgrounds, and that one does. Pretty awesome

Thanks for the help guys!!! This will get me started. I tried flashing the the transparent bar over Redemption rom with the incredible revolution theme and the bar was only transparent when the phone was in lock. After I unlock the phone it went back to the black status bar. Might have been because I removed rosie to only use launchepro. I'll mess around with this and post if I get anywhere.
I'm surprised there are not more themes with an option for the semi-transparent status bar. Even the semi status bar when phone is locked looked awsome.
If any one has any other ideas, please post them. Thanks!!!
It only fully works when using the sense launcher.
I would use it, but it removes any rosie mods (such as the manup sexy rosie skin) when applied so i haven't been able to use it lately.
Yeah same here. I wish it was as simple as flashing a zip to change the script in a current theme framework.

Privet,its in services.jar file its simple to mod but i dint know what line it is that makes it transparent.The mod you have becomes clear with lwp's also.
I've been messing with this for a while, I've got mine transparent, but it turns out launcher pro doesn't support the transparencies. As soon as I install launcher pro it goes solid black.
really? i didnt think launcher pro had any affect on the notifications bar
Yeah I had the same issue. I'm using the redmptive rom now with the matted blues theme. I edited the theme to have the transparent bar and decided not to use launcher pro anymore.

Do it through ninja morph... worked for me. Only issue is that all of the notifications for battery and signal have black backgrounds that you'll have to fix as well.

As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!
Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>
I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?
I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.
I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?
+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.
i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw
I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.
Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

ditto. i actually have a fully transparent status bar i can put in some themes but it only works with the stock android launcher. works with the stock gb launcher as well
So for quite a while i've been using morph designed by formel-lms in the nexus one, its worked with the evo cm6 pretty well besides a few kinks. So i spent a little time playing with it this afternoon getting it setup the way i wanted, i love the look of stock CM6 just wanted the clear bar.
Much thanks to stericson for metamorph and formel for the initial morph i started using and working off of. Also to myn for the tinted status bar idea.
Transparent status bar with a bit of tint to make things easier to red. Using all the stock status bar icons. Using this on CM6.1.1 haven't tried anything else. Pic and zip attached.
Post up any issues and i'll try to fix them, if i can't maybe a theme pro could lend a hand.
Thanks dude.
Thank 4 posting

this is only for ADW isn't it? Do you think you can try using launcher pro with it and letting us know? Usually LP creates a Black status bar instead of the applied clear one.
I think its a launcher pro issue, because you can get the same black bar issue with adw if you disable the wallpaper hack.
I'll load launcher pro on my phone and see what's up. I might search around and see if I can somebody else's solution.
I've searched this forum for the last week on and off since going with RR213/#4 and loving it. I'd like to tweak it a bit to my taste though.
I can't seem to find add on or theme that will work other than in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827081
I've tried so many themes, circle batterys, status icons and none have worked with RR because Lou is a little ahead of his time with the way he breaks out the different elements of this rom.
Hopefully if there are other add ons that work with RR 213 the links can all be posted in this thread.
I'm a dev and didn't dig too deep, but it appears all the mods out there need to be "paired down" for compatibility with Lou's Redemtion roms.
If anyone else has any add ons or themes working please post thread here so we can have a single location to find anyting that is working with Redemtion roms.
Thanks.
I agree the inc /evolution hybrid is a bit different than regular oem sense roms. But its the best running sense rom I've used bar none with #4 kernel. I have a metamorph mod for the entire notification bar pm me if your interested in using it.

What are you trting to accomplish? With the help of many of the developers, I have been able to make flashable rosie mod remaps. There are numberous battery immages that you can use if you replace the images in the Framework and resources apk's. It is easy enough to make a flashable zip of those things.
I have attached some screen shots of changes I have made. On the stock Rosie, I made it semi transparent and used JsChiSurf's remaps to create different rt button combos (I have adjusted the images). Different Icon sets in the notification bar as well as different battery mods. There is also an image of the Carbon Expresso version rosie.
But will we lose the 4x5 app drawer? And the transparency? That's what the op was asking I think, for mods specific to RR2.1.3....
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Mine is the 5x5 with transparency. I also have the version that says "all apps" instead of redemption. I can make it 4x5 as well. I just need to remeber what the file was.
Everything in my screen shots are done in RR 2.1.3.
Cool I have some metamorphs...maybe we should start a RR mod thread.

I'm using these and they work perfect.
Thanks that worked with Slayer Black Bar.
ADDON_V12_3_70_Only_BlackTB_SlayersTransitions causing fc on all apps and rebooting. Doing restore.

Trying ADDON_R9V8_BlueGlassTB_signed_wTra.zip next.
Force close after boot up on everything, looks nice though, gonna have to recover again.
Am I missing something, is there some other framework that is required besides stock rr2.13?

You have custom zips? How about sharing, your screen shots look good or is that the whole theme you used?

Dude your flashing slayers framework when you flash his taskbar mod unless he used metamorph. Also you can't flash any service or framework jar or you will lose the taskbar power mod. You can change any image you want with 7zip.

Nice, have you thought of changing the other icons like mount, and 4G?
Can you also add in the black bar screen which is more consistent with the espresso launcher and also add green highlights to the espresso launcher to make the theme more consistent.
Here is a link to the resource file that has those two mods and are already fresh 3.5 compatible.

finally! i've been dying for this!
donate link in your sig isn't working for me
Donation link should be fixed. I usually dont get any so I have no idea how long that link was down. lol
Anyways, ya, I have about 10+ themes for CM to Sense and in all different styles, I used to make them for the community but people stopped following and downloading so I stopped posting them.
* IN THE WORKS * Since it sounds like there are a few requests for it, how about all gingerbread icons while leaving most of the colors the green and black of sense. So icons like usb, adb, vibrate, will all be gingerbread, and I will see what I can do about some custom 4G icons to match. Finally I will play with that link Ph33zy posted so see about cleaning up the cololrs.
Thanks man...can't wait!
Amazing work! Thanks so much I've been looking for something like this for fresh! Is there anyway you can also include the gingerbread style loading animation and darker style? I'll pm you the link to give you an example since I don't have enough posts to post it!
I just posted a new version, it will have a bunch more of the Gingerbread icons and the sense bar will now be green when pressed.

Does this version incorporate the black bar lock or is it still the default sense lock? Thanks for your hard work btw...
This is for Fresh only right?
well i guess this version doesn't have the black bar lock, but its pretty damn awesome still...
I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. You mean the lock bar you slide down to unlock your phone correct? And is so do you have a screenshot just so I know what you are expecting?
And yes this is made for Fresh 3.5.0.1
is this only for the fresh rom? or can the theme be use with others too?

Yes, the black bar lock is the slide down to unlock bar. Here is a picture of it (although I think this screenshot is of a WM6.5 device, but its really similar). I think it matches better with the expresso launcher than the stock sense lock (but just my opinion I guess).
It should've been in the resource file that I attached for you earlier (that you used to make the green highlights in rosie). Here is a link to the Fresh 3.5 black bar lock thread (although there is no picture in the thread)

and more specifically, the post that incorporates the black bar lock w/ green highlights on rosie:

BTW, just started playing more with my phone after flashing your icons and I think I like it better without all the blue elements. Do you think you could do a version with just the GB notification bar? I also noticed that the SMS GB icon is missing as well.

I looked at them side by side and it appears the difference is the transparency on the GB version. Either way they have been added.

I just put a bunch of files that I grabbed from other themers on the forum and made them Fresh 3.5.0.1 compatible. This is what I'm using for myself and just thought I'd share. This includes the stock HTC Rosie launcher and lockscreen, Gingerbread status bar icons (w/ Battery %), and a 1X notification when the device is in a non 3G area. Everything else is HTC stock. Nandroid backup as always and it's not my fault if you eff up your phone!

The status bar icons are pretty much a replica of Myn's Warm Z ROM with the stock Rosie launcher and nothing else skinned. The background of the status bar is the stock glossy background unlike the flat black background found in the picture though.
