transparent status bar?

i am on a rooted german ICS rom and was wondering wether its poosible to have a transparent status bar?

I'm searching for itit too, i know it is possible but how?

I think that it is possible, but to make it happened you have to change some .png for the statusbar.

I believe it requires smali edits in systemui.apk

actually you can mod the apk file and edit the color of status bar as alpha blending = 1
this is the method the status bar is drawn as far as i recall it doesn't have PNG files for the actual background though you can define that too.

You can using a custom status bar on stock lq2 its transparent with bunch of toggles looks much better then the stock one all icons in blue with 15 toggles
I will add xda thread link if you guys interested

As mentioned before, its a smali edit. Then you can either set the status bar colour to transparent or set the drawable to look for an image. I'll post a quick tutorial when I get to my computer. Really easy to do providing you know how to (de)compile properly

Im writing this presuming you already know how to decompile ICS apk's, if not.......google is your friend
Make a backup of your systemUI just incase.
Decompile your SystemUI,
Navigate to /SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali
In StatusBar.Smali, search for this line;
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
A few lines above this change;
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]0x4[/B]
To
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]-0x3[/B]
Save the file then navigate to SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml
Look for the following line;
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[B]#ff000000[/B]</item>
Change the hex value (#ff000000) the what ever you want ((ff = 100% transparency)(000000 = black)
#00000000 - completely transparent
#7f000000 - roughly 50% translucent I think
Save the file then recompile SystemUI.apk, and then push the apk back to your phone with the correct permissions and if compile correctly you should have a transparent status bar
If something goes wrong, I'm not responsible....blah blah blah!!
Iv only done this on CM9 & AOSP/AOKP but it should work with stock/tw roms as long as they're ics.
I'm still not next to my computer so I can't remember the line of code to set the status bar as an image rather than a color, I'll post it as soon as I get home.

How to change notification background?

Hi, is it possible to change background in the notification center on a 4.2.1 ROM? Is there an easy way (like an app) or i must decompile systemui.apk and edit xml files?
Thank you

Nobody?

I know klinkerkp themed it into transparent. Don't know how he does it though. Try getting in touch with him(check my sig for his theme)
Sent from my Nexus S

It's hard to find the correct image, however I won't give up!!
meanwhile, if someone wants to try, this is a zip file with decompiled SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk

What changed with respect to the normal darkbeanjelly?
Sent from my Nexus S

Nothing. I've just decompiled it, so it's easier if someone wants to analyze it.

Can anybody share a flashable transparent one, working with every aokp/cm10.1 rom?

Yup. You can

Im doing it, look the attached image. If you want transparent statusbar and white clock, use Tweakbox (Xposed Module)

On this part of the Tweakbox, this tweak works only after reboot, which I didn't do last time but tried now and finally have transparent status bar as well ... And for others, there is a perfect guide for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158652 .

Use AllianceROM. You can set any clock and status bar icon color you like and also any color/transparency of the actual statusbar on the fly without having to flash new mods.

Dont need to reboot, A soft Reboot (or Hot Boot) will do the trick . Also, you will get a black statusbar when the phone finish reboot, just pull the notification bar down and it will became transparent (or the color you want). Sorry my bad english!
I've changed the greyish icons to S4 white ones, later i will upload it.

Thanks for your answer and compliments for your job

Still not working on odexed stock rom ME2.

I can confirm that it does not work on odexed ME2.
@bruzski-Is is going to be possible for you, of you have the SystemUI.apk from ME2, to decompile it and make the status bar black? I by myself, but everywhere I see java errors and it simply does not want to decompile it properly.

hey it's transparent yes, but if you select a downloaded wallpaper you normally get a dark gray statusbar and not real black, that's why i made this little mod
