as you probably know the transparent notification bar (used in Sense 4.0) is no longer there when you use a custom launcher / sense-less rom. i think it could be cool to get it back because it makes quite a difference in terms of looks. perhaps this thread might be helpful:

any help on how to get it going on One S the easy way or a flashable mod is appreciated.

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.

Hi guys! Hope I'm posting in the right section.
Is there any way to get the dock bar (also known as launch bar) on the bottom of the home screens to be (semi-) transparent? Should be possible since HTC's own "Serene", "Memories", "Painting the world" and "Spaceship Earth" skins have a semi-transparent dock. Now if you're asking, why I just don't use one of those skins, it's because they add a different color scheme and I like the default android-green one.
I'm also a fan of Sense 4, so I do not want to use any launchers, but would be willing to flash a custom Sense Rom if there's one with a transparent dock (or if there's another way to achieve transparency on a custom rom)
Thanks in advance!

You can either make your own skin, or install leedroidROM

Download trickdroid tweaks for tweaks app or extract energy tweaks from energy rom
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Use trickdroidrom install the tweaks app and supersmooth rosie and then you have it
I suggest using the Axiom S ROM as it has an option to easily toggle this setting with no flashing tweaks. When I tried TrickDroid and the tweaks package, I had soooo many issues. With Axiom, it all works.
I'm on Clean ROM 8.1 which is a 4.3 TW rom. I'm wondering if I can make my pull-down toggles in the status bar look like the AOSP (from CM at least) ones? Anyone know a way to do this?
Thanks!
Bonus: It would be super awesome if there was a way to get the entire status bar and pull-down area to look like AOSP. Not sure if this is possible, maybe through some Xposed module? If anyone knows of anything that would be great!
I think the closest you're gonna get is is Team Bandit's Theme. It should be compatible with CleanROM however I would check first with the devs.
Unfortunately there's no real way to theme stock TW on the fly. You either have to wait for someone to release a theme or download a themeable ROM like Alliance. Even then it will never look 100% like AOSP.
edit: apparently xposed does have a theme engine. I'm not very familiar with xposed though so I can't give you information on that.
I was wondering If I could add touchwiz styled Notification area/quickssettings on my AOSP Stock ROM(4.2.2) Based on MT6572 (MediaTek).
Actually I don't like Google's quicksettings and want Touchwiz styled Notification Area as it's more convenient. I have used third party apps like Notification Toggle but I did not like it as it doesn't have swipe gesture and long pressing any icon won't take me to its settings e.g WiFi. Moreover, it doesn't have any resemblance to Touchwiz. I like Touchwiz UI in every aspect but can't afford to have a Samsung Phone :'( I use HK Theme Manager for theming my mobile as Touchwiz. Though it works like a charm but still my ROM lacks Touchwiz Quicksettings PANEL.
I looked around but didn't find anything helpful. I'm a noobie and haven't ever decompiled or edited any app. Just fond of flashing Custom ROMS which I do with perfection. I asked a developer the same question and he said that I should edit framework, but he didn't tell me what exactly to edit. I Strongly believe that any XDA member would definitely be helping me. As I haven't received any response from XDA's side in my last 2 threads, so I humbly request you guys to guide me about this topic. Would be highly grateful. Thanks in advance!

Why on earth would you post this in the Galaxy S7 board? lol no wonder no one has answered you.
I'll just tell you this since I'm here already...it is not possible. You may be able to find some app or theme that has some of the features you are looking for...but TouchWiz is proprietary and the notification and quick settings are baked into the entire touchwiz framework. You are oing to have to find a alternative option to get the features you want. What features or rather what about the TouchWiz notification do you like ? I am trying to think of things from my past galaxy devices and I can't think of anything the touchwiz shade can do that my shade in Cataclysm(nexus 5) can't. AOSP is so much sexier tan TouchWiz.
Also, why on earth would you want to replace AOSP quick settings with Touchiz...touchwiz is so ugly.
Actually I was unable to find New thread button on xda's homepage.
Well, I think it's possible because I flashed a touchwiz themed ROM and the developer themed AOSP ROM to look like Touchwiz. But it was buggy so, I flashed backup of my ROM.
And I love this thing about Touchwiz notification panel that all the toggles are on the same row and When we pull down status bar, at that moment we can see toggles. Unlike AOSP we don't have to click the button on the top right of the notification bar to move to quick settings.
Install cm12.1 on your device and install galaxy s6 theme
