I'm working on homescreen art currently, and I'm trying to get a transparent status bar. Not goin so well. I'm using ZduneX's patcher, but it simply does not work.
Iv tried repatching my systemui.apk and framework.res.apk but it does not work. Manually pushing the systemui.apk does not work either. Iv tried flashing the patch and undoing a couple of times but that does not work either. Iv tried using meizu and miui and neither works. Am I missing something?
The error log in the patcher file says that nothing went wrong but there's obviously something I'm missing. Is it possible to get a transparent status bar on a g2x?

I've read that using a live wallpaper helps for some reason?
or a live wallpaper selector... it's kinda annoying... I've done it, but wasn't happy because of the notification bar and some apps really look odd because the status bar is blank/transparent... if you look at my homescreen on that "Post Your Homescreen" thread I do have a semi transparent status bar... I don't now because by having my status bar trans when I pull down the notification the top is blank and empty showing my background... doesn't look right... and like in apps say... the browser the status bar is all white? I can't see the time or anything...
I'm not that much of a do it yourself'er but I tried, was happy then found flaws... if I can find where the Number X Number dimensions for the notification box maybe I can pull it up to cover the top status bar... but then again that's just the notification on the homescreen... in an app I have no idea how to change the status bar config...
I've played with iPhones, and kinda got it to work... but on android I think the status bar plays a bigger role in the OS...
good luck and sry if I confused you at all
Haha its alright I got most of that but maybe there's some way to get different status bars for different apps.... well in the meizu and miui screenshots iv seen that he managed to a different status bar for the homescreen and for when the tray has been pulled down... anyways do u have any idea why I can't get it to work? BTW live wallpapers and multi picture live doesn't work either

I't possible. However it's a lot of work. You have to redo all the icons with a paintprogram. Rynoons actually made a white statusbar for the X10, see here:
rynoons modified framework-res.apk: (post #43)
Notification Bar Screenshot
Screenshot
download
The white statusbar looked really awesome on my white X10. However a white statusbar has some problems though.
-The color of the clock can't be changed as far as I know. That's why Rynoons added a black box. However when a message appears in the statusbar (like when connecting the phone to the pc), the clock (letters) will disappear. However the blackbox stays (as it's part of the statusbar background).
-Some SE apps (like mail, Timescape, Mediascape etc) include icons with a blue background. These icons will remain when using the white statusbar and thus will just not look right.
That's why I removed the white statusbar after some days of use and reverted to a black statusbar. Still some icons appear to be on a blue background. However they don't stand out that much on black as they did on white.
U can adjust the font colors by modifying the odex files. I have wanted a white status bar and black letters since I got the phone too. I'm working on it but it requires a lot of work. Hopefully this weekend.

OH OH OH, I forgot to ask about changing the app drawer slider colour, domoco made abunch of different themes for their users like a different app drawer slider button thingy, I saw pirple and pink and other stuff

I've tried deodex the whole framework, and changed the color in services.jar. And then transfer the jar files to the x10 and odex all the files. but after restart the mobile phone froze on the bootscreen.
If I change the services.jar, I need to deodex the applications too? or just the framework?
As I understand it everything needs to be deodexed, then pushed back to the phone where it will be reodexed. Keep in mind the phone will take a while to startup bc its odexing everything.
I may be wrong and I still don't fully understand it. Lots of stuff to learn, not enough time.

Edit: if the phone gets stuck at boot is there a way to view what went wrong? Would ddms work for that? I would try before asking but I'm not at home. Thanks

It worked but it left the black around the icons. Thanks for the effort
I'm not a developer or even close to one, but I messed around with some of the files from Smooth or something like that and was able to get a transparent notification bar and added an Android logo to it as well. It works with LP also. The only thing is that you have to hide the notification bar, then show it back to make it work. Not the greatest, but it worked for me. Needs to be flashed. Maybe someone can tweak it some more...

I honestly don't know, but I would think it would. I only changed some of the images in the folders.

Do you think its possible just make the clear bar and thats it??
I was able to achieve the clear notification bar by using this link for the Super Circle battery mod. (I still can't post links so just google it.) The site is for the battery mod along with a few others, such as the clear notification bar. I had no hand in making the tool, or site, at all. The only problem for me is I too still have the black around the signal icon and a few others. I added the transparency to the icons but no luck. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the subject.

Are you using Launcher Pro? I read somewhere its a limitation of LP. If you are using stock Rosie, it should work.
Ok i love the bionix rom i just dont care for the white status and dropdown menu so i used UOT kitchen to cook a theme and i tried flashing the. Zip with framework-res. apk inside through cwm but nothing changed so i just pushed it manually and did the same with twframework and everything changed and looked nice except the icons at the top of the notification dropdown menu look like the stock froyo icons but everything else in the dropdown menu looks the way it should. I also cant find where to change the dropdown notification icons in UOT anyways? There not even an option? You figure it would be under status bar mods but i dont see anything? Anybody know a solution?

Heres some pics!! just remember there's still a couple of things that still need to be adjusted but i can handle that i just need to figure out the drop down notification icon problem. Also i forgot to mention the time is missing in the notification bar?? It showed it in green text in UOT why doesn't it show up?
Probably because you set your time color the same as your status bar color

You can't change the color of the time in UOT Kitchen only the date I would maybe make the status bar green and your icons black.
And you can cook the twframework-res.apk and make your own drop down menu. Only change the status bar in uot kitchen and you will have to unzip it and rename it back to twframework-res.apk copy it then replace it in system/framework.

Just decompile systemui and edit status bar.xml
I've tried it, and am working on it, thing is a lot of apps have a gray bar where the status bar is, it gets hidden by the status bar, it looks like complete crap and is distracting. So i'm working on making that go away

I have, I have also tried three different launchers. Maybe you should include it on your next release or just go ahead and send me a systemUI with it done already.
Also, on my Optimus V running unofficial CM7.2 we just got the option of changing the color of the status bar. I do not think it is a CM7 mod either, so maybe that could be included in a update later down the road.

Yea, I have read it and the problem with that is that I cannot install the java SDK or the Android SDK and apktool does not run properly. I am on a 7 year-old E-Machinces PC with a 1.2 processor and 512 MB of Ram. I cannot run half the programs I need to do this kind of stuff. I had a friend try your guide and others for me and the result was the same- not transparent. Thank you for your help anyway.
I was happy to see transparent bar when i got my s4.... but i noticed smthng strange lately
when we use stock wallpapers the transparent bar kicks in and the moment we use non-stock wallpapers the bar changes to non transparent..
see images....any suggestions​

Yeah this kinds sucks but my thinking is that Samsung did it this way otherwise they would have a load of calls saying that all my status icons have vanished because someone has used a light grey wallpaper....
Just noticed that too.....not good.....hopefully samsung changes this

For what I've tried the transparent bar onky works with stock live and regular wallpapers. It's kinda of a bummer Samsung did it this way.

Its actually completely understandable.
If the wallpaper was the same colour as your notification icons you wouldnt be able to see anything.
its quite cool that they put the transparent feature in there for their wallpapers.
Mebbe a later update will give you the option by asking if you want transparent notification bar ... or the other option is to find a decent developer web site where people are ingenious and helpful and will do this for you .... oh hang on ....... look at the URL!
