Hello,
there are many ways to make status bar shadow, here's I share the simple way..
1. after decompile your systemUI, Go to SystemUI.apk\res\values and open drawables.xml and focus on this line and remove it:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</item>
2. create file : \SystemUI.apk\res\drawable\status_bar_background.xml and fill with this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#00000000" android:endColor="#66000000" android:angle="@integer/status_bar_recents_bg_gradient_degrees" name="status_bar_background" />
</shape>
in previous guide, the developer wrote "android:endColor" with value "#99000000", it's your choices...
3. Compile it. Done.
Download HERE from Sweet ROM 10.5 Black

[Guide]Smooth Spinners for GB and ICS - HyperDroid

This Guide is intended for rom developers/cooks to add some visual candy for they roms.
All credits are due to ihlades, and we would want to thank him for all his efforts to the Open Source community, a true example of a respected developer and we are very proud to have him here at XDA...Thanks!!, to pongster who has been sharing this since he opensourced his GBX project over at the HD2 forums, and all the great devs who help other users into becoming true modders, thanks!!
We (Hyperdroid Team) have been using this mod in three devices now (SGT, HD2 and S2), so we are confident it will work in any android based device running gingerbread (we have not tested yet on ICS).
you must have basic compiling/decompiling knowledge and already have the tools set up to it to edit xmls.
The xmls are located at framework-res.apk/res/drawable
This is the list of the xmls to edit
progress_large.xml
progress_large_white.xml
progress_medium.xml
progress_medium_white.xml
progress_small.xml
progress_small_titlebar.xml
progress_small_white
search_spinner.xml
copy and paste replacing current code with this code into them
progress_large.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-rotate android:drawable="@drawable/spinner_black_76" android:pivotX="50.0%" android:pivotY="50.0%" android:frameDuration="25" android:framesCount="48"

then compile back.
If you noticed, all we are doing is increasing the frames count in the same time, giving the spinners the smooth animation it deserves
here are the xmls zipped uncompiled for your commodity, just replace them in framework-res.apk/res/drawable, then compile back.
and here is a vrtheme for it, it should work in any device (untested and dont come crying here it doesnt work, if it doesnt, then do the whole process which is about 1 min if you know what you are doing)
Great tutorial this new year!
You are the man Doc

Try to search for hyperdroid in youtube, there are plenty of videos there. Look at the spinnibg circle when the device is "thinking", its not pause like on stock, its smooth

Thank you very much for this interesting job.
But what's about Sense GB ROMs?
I've edited xml files according your tutorial in the framework-res.apk in my 3.5 Sense ROM for HD2 and received permanent FC of HTC Sense.
Any advice?

Yes there is, as a matter of fact we use that mod aswell.
At mobile right now so cant give u specifics, but that is related to progressbar, adding more png to drawable hdpi and to xml that call for them, I will get back to you on that one.
If you notice, this are very simple moda that make our devices better. Very simple ones.

three things I don't like about my Note is -
1. Spinners - which you have sorted
2. Progress Bar - which I would like to smooth out
3. Unlock and Call select - also like to smooth out
thanks again for you time and guide

I opened APK Multi-Tool and chose 9 (decompile) next go to project folder and replace file from smoothspinners.7z to framework-res.apk/res/drawable.
After that I chose 11 (compile) in APK Multi-Tool
"is this a system apk?" I chose "y"(yes)
"Aside from the signatures, would you like to copy over any additional files that you didn't modify from the original apk in order to ensure least # of errors" I chose "n" (no)
Next rename "unsignedframework-res.apk" from place-apk-here-for-modding to framework-res.apk and copy to android-sdk/platform-tools/
Next I adb:
adb remount
adb push /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Great Eye Candy! Thanks for this.
I may have missed it, but I did not see it mentioned in this thread:
This worked perfectly in Froyo (HTC Sense)!
Made a bigger difference in the 'feel' than I expected!
I know the thread is getting a little old, but I was also curious about the Smoother Progress Bar, or smoother anything else for that matter! Any update on that one?

[GUIDE][CM11][KK] How to make Transparent Status and Navigation Bar on KitKat 4.4

Hello Everyone!!
Lots of people asked me how to make transparent status and transparent navigation bar on android 4.4 kitkat as it supports transparent status and navigation bar. So i thought of writing this guide so that every one get's benefit of this.
Here u go:
To make use of transparent status and navigation feature of Android 4.4 in your activity(it may be launcher or any activity):
Add these below lines in style.xml of your activity/launcher's main activity theme.
HTML:
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
Where attribute android:windowTranslucentStatus set the transparency of status bar and android:windowTranslucentNavigation used for transparency of navigation bar
Or you can also use one of these themes as your parent
HTML:
Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor
Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor
By enabling translucent system bars, your layout will fill the area behind the system bars, so you must also enable fitsSystemWindows for the portion of your layout that should not be covered by the system bars.
HTML:
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
You can use anyone of the above approach to make transparent System bars of your activity.
You can also read original android docs Here
If u like my work, press thanks:laugh:

I added fit window option but it didn't do anything.

I removed it, it went back to normal.
What exactly do I do to make it transparent??? change /white to transparent or do i need to change it from <item to <color ? and make it #00000000?
Explain it a bit Thanks for the help!
Edit: Changed
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/white</item> to
<color name="android:windowBackground">#0000000</color>
And compiled it, it didn't compile, anything i'm doing wrong here?

Okay, it compiled. I made two with one being color/white and the new one color/trans
The white one looked whites with shades. and the transparent one was just black :s, the status bar didn't blend into the blue action bar? it just went black. Any idea what happened?
EDIT : Fixed i moved the fitWindow function to the theme window. all is working! Thanks for this guide. And very helpful OP user!
So I defined a new colour in color.xml
<color name="nexus">#ff4d9ad8</color>
I went into styles, and changed
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/transparent</item> to
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/nexus</item>
Now when compiling, it gives off an error, doesn't compile?

hey, i dont know how to do that. but i can recommend that ( actually i am doing in that way)
1. find any systemui.apk that has the style what you want.
2. decompile it and go to res/values/style.xml
3. match your style.xml and your downloanded style.xml
4. try to simulate your xml to that xml .
hope this helps.
thanks bro...

don't try to change whole lines !!!
for example :
in your style.xml -- > <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.
in dowloanded style.xml --> <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
so you have to edit your line and add '' Light '' end of it. it will look like @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light
The important thing is you have to figure out what lines are related to your notification panel!!!
I am doing the same thing right now. I have couple cm11 themes and i am changing my sytles, colors, dimens according to theme's styles, colors.xml etc ..
I am using notepad++.
Just open the 2 xmls that you wanan check. Put them side by side and check the lines.
if something going wrong when your systemui get function ... you have to come back to your xml and check the line again.
The last say --> maybe you will need to change some drawble xmls and some drawble hdpi/ xhdpi/ xxhdpi files according to your dpi .
thanks again

it depends on the rom ...
i had to edit
- ic_notify_button_bg.xml
- notification_header_bg.xml
- qs_tile_background.xml
- system_bar_notification_header_bg.xml
in drawble. I am running kitkat 4.4
maybe you need to edit those xmsl as well, maybe you dont need, maybe you dont have those xmls. not sure

maybe ... it depends on the theme's color and style. For instance: you will set your notifaction panel is white and if ur text color is white then you will not be able to read/see your notification you gotta see what's hapening after editing styles ... if it's ok then no problem. if it is as my mention then you gotta edit your colors.xml ...
i hope you got the concept of the work.
you can search any tutorial for editing notification panel. All necessary steps can be found. according to those tutorials you can edit your systemui.
For instance:
In the tutorial will say let's edit this line according to that .... you have to find this line at the xml in your lewa systemui and edit according to it
good luck happy theming ...

For adding L Style Date/Clock View go HERE
To add Battery/WiFi/Bluetooth/Alarm icons in Header go HERE
Yo guys! Today I am here with a simple tutorial to create a look alike L Style Header in notification Panel!
I was just playing with the layouts and made this
STEP 1:
1.Decompile SystemUI.apk.
go to res/layout/ and open status_bar_expanded_header.xml [MTK]/ tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml[Samsung]
In second line find:
Code:
android:background="blablabla"
Make it look like this:
Code:
android:background="#ff243137"
Now in same XML find the rest
Code:
android:background="blablabla"
And replace all with this: [Keep android:background="#ff243137" as it is ]
Code:
android:background="#00000000"
Recompile the SystemUI. Don't sign it yet.
STEP 2
Now,
2.Again go to res/layout/ and open status_bar_expanded_header.xml [MTK]/ tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml[Samsung]
Download the attached zip here, Extract the zip and paste l_header.9.png to res/drawable-hdpi or drawable-mdpi or drawable-xxhdpi [What your device has by default]
Find this in second line of the XML:
Code:
android:background="#ff243137"
Make it look like this:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/l_header"
Save the XML.
Now navigate to res/values/ and open dimens.xml and search for
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_height">48.0dip</dimen>
Change it to
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_height">96.0dip</dimen>
Save the XML.
Recompile the SystemUI, sign, push to system/app with permissions 644
