[Q]Replacement Launcher Bar - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to replace the launcher bar on a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1(GP-P5113). I am running a deodexed rom that's pretty bare-bones at this point. I need a bar with out the screenshot and dock icons. I've tried replacing SystemUI.apk with a honeycomb bar but I suspected that wouldn't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

That's funny you asked that because I just recently did mine. Then today thought, what about the down faults? I'm not sure if it's me but it seems to be a little choppy. Other than that I did it because.....well I have an addition to seeing all the ROMS!!

There is a Transparent Title Bar download located in Myn's Rom, but I don't know if it will work on a different rom. Give it a shot and post results.

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 flashed smooth sense icons do you think it will take with this flash?
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.

[THEME][REQ] MIUI semi-transparent notification bar on CM6

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.

[Morph] Transparent Status Bar for CM6.1.1

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
Sent from my HTC Evo
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.

Nav bar help.

Alright, I am in need of help. I have my phone set up exactly how I want with one exception, the nav bar on my home screen is solid, I want it to be transparent. I have Nova PRIME as my launcher and I use the Nexus Revamped LWP. I know for a fact that it an be done because I set up my girlfriend's G4 just like mine except she has the free version of Nova with the Nexus Revamped LWP and her nav bar is transparent. Please help, someone has got to know how to do this.
In Nova settings go to look and feel. There you will find the transparent notification bar setting.

Question Status bar icon size

Samsung retread here. Had S9 years ago then went to Pixel 1XL then Pixel 3XL. Old fan of XDA and now find the need to "fix" crap with the Samsung crap put on here. I have the S21+ from Google Fi. Got rid of Bixby as well as the Samsung keyboard which prevented all of my restored apps from being able to use autofill. So much crap on here for a phone that is not supposed to have Samsung bloatware installed. So where I am is that I need to enlarge the status bar. The icons are too small. Anyone know if this can be done? I want the signal bar and all of the icons along the top to be enlarged a little bit.

Is this a stupid question or does no one know?
don't know, never tried. is the status bar rendering a function of the launcher or lower level OS/UX layers?

I don't know how Samsung themes work but icon size is determined by dimens.xml in the systemui.apk res/values folder.
I have an S21 and I too wish you could enlarge the icons in the status bar, as it stands they are pretty useless to read at a glance.
As far as I'm aware this is not possible however there is a hack to enlarge the clock and battery percentage that I found that works.
