I figured out how to make my notification bar transparent, as well as the drag-down bar and status header bar. did it by pulling framework-res.apk, opened with 7-zip, edited the files from within 7-zip (didnt extract them at all), saved the changes, closed up and pushed the framework back to the phone. upon bootup however, once i unlocked the phone i got blasted with a stampede of FCs, all standard google apps and services that run on startup. even after pushing the stock, unchanged framework back, FCs continue. anyone know whats happening?
I think you need to edit the services.Jar file as well

try a fix permissions maybe?
what rom?
im on the stock 8/1 2.2 leak. i figured out a temporary fix, i just modified the files in the smooth sense icons update zip since im using that on my phone, and did the update in recovery that way. it worked, but the only mod that worked was to the notification bar itself, not the drop-down bar or the header, so a services.jar edit is necessary to. which sucks because i dont know how to edit jar files or even navigate them to find what i need to edit lol. im gonna try to combine the smooth icons framework with the services.jar from the 50% shade backgroung update.zip and see how that runs. ill at least have a transparent status background/notification bar. i'll just have to learn java language and figure out the .jar setups on these phones myself and try editing then. i'll get back to you guys in a month
Have you checked out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744256 , which includes which lines to modify in the services.jar as well as the file to make transparent for the drop down?
Need to merge these two into one...
Heck - I'm very tempt to give it a try - i want mostly transparent top bar with 'frosted' icons - basically so if using default launcher pro, the top and bottom of the home screen match.
Plus, with that setup, it will open up a lot of the screen real estate.

yea i have the combined smooth sense icons and 50% shaded status background. i modded it to have a transparent top status bar, but the actual pull down bar itself (the one that materializes when you drag down your status bar) is services.jar related, im guessing, because i edited that in the framework and it didnt affect it. same with the status header, where it says Verizon Wireless.
after modding the status bar though, i was reminded that the individual icons had there own blackish square backgrounds that need to be eliminated, so im gonna be working on those hopefully today (gonna take FOREVER). when all is finished i'll post up screenshots and find out what everyone thinks, then possibly post up a zip of my own (with permission from jercick who did the smooth icons and whoever did the 50% shade) containing these mods.
I'm almost done creating a Theme for my phone but im still missing the % notification over the battery. I want to use the services.jar method since using the 100 pngs in the framework-res.apk takes up too much space and its too annoying to remake the 100 pngs for every single battery icon i use.
Is there any kind soul who can give me a hand andcreate or point me to a guide/manual/how to that can allow me to mod the services.jar?
Just wondering if there is a way to hide the non-system icons in the status bar.
I see a few threads about hiding the system apps, but not for the icons on the left hand side of the status bar.
I've seen some references to doing this by using smali/baksmali to recompile a services.jar file - has any less "dangerous" method surfaced more recently to allow this?
im also interested in this
Hey guys, id like to add some toggles into the notification bar, like TouchWIZ does or cyanogen has. So i dont have any idea where to do something like that.
thisisnotanexternallinkandidonthave8posts://st.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s/review/sshots1/gsmarena_014.jpg
.. not allowed to add inside
Is the notification bar written in java or a part of the system?
Can anyone give me a track where to start.
Greez guys

I'm no expert but I believe the images for the notification bar are contained within the framework-res.apk in /system/framework. As for the toggles, that my sense would be that it would take a lot of editing as your basically adding a functionality where there was none before. Why not just flash CyanogenMod or Bionix and have them without the extra work?
i like the clear standard rom of google and their updating rythm i dont want to flash a custom rom on my phone..
Hnn so i have to work it out seems to be hard
I find AOSP/Oneplus signal icons (both mobile and WiFI) pretty bad. With other devices I had in the past there were plenty of mods to change them, from xposed modules to substratum themes, when not customization integrated inside custom ROMs. Substratum themes with signal icons declined to the point I could not find any which support them nowadays (in fact, I'm currently using Swift Installer, which is pretty good, but is not able to modify signal icons in any way).
I don't need battery icons mods, for it I just want text for knowing percentage of battery left (curiously there are many mods for battery icons, which I really don't want). Did anyone know a way to change mobile/Wifi icons properly? Those plain, flat, unclear icons are extremely boring...
Thank you in advance
