Me too... I can't understand why Samsung is trying to force us to use their wallpapers if we want transparent bar

I dont understand either... We love android and support it but when they are forcing us to use their own apps and wallpapers, it doesnt make any sense...

Also when you use another launcher the status bar changes to black.

I can confirm this. Apex and Nova launcher make the status bar black even if you stay with samsung's wallpapers. It is kind of annoying but still better then samsung's touchwiz.

The dumb thing is its not even fully black it's just dark grey so you use a black wallpaper it won't match up

I think it's this way because Samsung don't want people to use their own wallpapers and then complain they can't read the time or battery if the wallpaper is too light. Anyway a mod can fix this in seconds, we have to be patient

Just flash the transparent status bar mod.

To everyone using Nova Launcher, the latest beta includes transparent notification bar. No root needed!

The implemention in Nova of transparency is flawed, it breaks themes and looks ugly in many apps.

And doesn't work on lockscreen as far as I know.

I haven't had any problems so far, works (and looks) great for me.

Nothing new. Someone brought this up in anorher thread. Simply flash the transparent mod, deal with it being black or wait for a dev to develop more color options for the status bar

Where can I find this mod? Does it work with our 9505?

The new firmware that Samsung are starting to roll out now gives transparent bars on custom wallpaper. Check the screenshots on SamMobile.

The Swype.apk edit: remove by mod

Flashed this theme and it looks beautiful! Wondering if you can tell me what widget and skin you are using for the weather in the second screenshot. Also, do I need to remove my Swype before flashing yours? I flashed yours and it did nothing. Will this theme be evolving? I'm wondering about icons under the settings menu and such. Thanks again for putting your time into this!
Great theme.
getting force closes on browser though.
Thanks guys

I fixed the problem.
I backed up my bookmarks with mybackup pro.
Then I used Titanium backup to erase the browser data
I then restored my bookmarks, and all us good.
There must be something in the data structure causing problems.
Works fine now though.
Cool cheers henchman, I have removed the touchwiz package for now... If anyone wants to install touchwiz they can add it from the touchwiz thread and follow your instructions

Can't be done at the moment, use battery notif in the market

Agreed bout the green. Some places yes..everywhere yowsers.
Love the red and its mixed in with other colored icons/white clock so its not over saturated everywhere.
Only change I would make is when you pull down the notification bar the bottom "tab" you drag down isnt visible enough.Could be more of the lighter part of the gradient.
Either way great work.
Im considering theming several of my favorite apps after seeing Rodrgz mods on them to match this theme.
Big thumbs up.

I never get why people need 3 clocks on their home screen. The one on top is all I need.

Usually my status bar is hidden, I only use it when I need to check if a download is finished or my signal
I like the Honeycomb analog clock
And then I have the honeycomb digital clock to tell me the time, because I'm slow at reading analogs
Atleast it looks cool =)

Sadly no unless you root it

Yes you can change the notification bar to an ICS/JB style without having to root by installing the omega status bar app and ICS theme, however, it is a bit buggy at the minute.

im talking about when u drag down the notification bar. i like how the nexus u can turn on and off wireless and it just look more neat.
Ah. I think the developer of omega said that he would be working on the notification tray/area as well. No idea when he will provide that update/app though.
What do you mean by turn on and off wireless? Do you just mean something like notification toggles?

Sorry dude but nope. What I did was install nova launcher. Yeah it doesn't completely change it but it still looks nice.
Widgetsoid let's you add a notification power bar like CM. Its a little tricky, but you place the widget on your home screen, configure it for notifications then you can delete it and the pull down bar will still be there...or...you know, just install CM

[INFO] travel wallpapers for lockscreen

Just came across this feature and thought of letting you guys know.
While changing lockscreen wallpaper i saw this "travel wallpaper" option for lockscreen wallpaper and it looks cool. YOu people should give it a try.
goto settings-> my devices->display->wallpaper->lockscreen
You have just been amused and excited. So yeah, like many other people saw it.

yeah they're awesome....only annoying thing is that you can't make the slideshow interval short enough but never mind
I like this feature. But I have limited data, and this uses quite a lot. If there was an option to update only on Wi fi I would leave it on. But as there isn't it's not worth the data consumption for me

As far as i know that difference is maybe due to the difference in the displays of both devices. S5 uses a better display color reproduction, maybe thats why the colour is a bit different than ours.
Anyways, i don't think that it is noticeable, and who would waste their time to just make the color a bit dark to match s4's one exactly.
I personally feel its not that important to waste their time on this, sorry.

I only meant the statusbar color not the whole display. In my opinion it looks more modern on the S5
Ops I see you say using tinted. For sms app just open that screenshot from first post and with color picker take color code from them. Then set that color in tinted statusbar and all will fine. Sorry for bad eng.
I test now and with collor ff014753 work fine and collor is that from shot in your post

If you are already using Tinted Status Bar you can already give the status bar the look you want.
Just change the stock colors in tinted status bar settings to what you want. There's a slider in the app. You can just darken it a little bit for that particular app.
