It has to be done in systemui.apk. Have to open that specific file to the rom your running and edit the files inside. What exact rom are you running?

Thanks. I am running the stock rooted deodexed rom.
Here is what I did:
1 nandoid backup
2 adb devices
3 adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk SystemUI.apk (made a backup copy of this file)
4 open the SystemUI.apk file with winrar
5 inserted the "status_bar_header_background.9.png", "status_bar_close_on.9.png" and a transparent "status_bar_background.png" into the SystemUI.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
6 adb remount
7 adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
8 adb reboot
as you can see from the attached screen shot...the "status_bar_header_background.9.png" and the "status_bar_close_on.9.png" worked but the transparent "status_bar_background.png" isnt transparent.
Any ideas?

You should use 7 zip then you can open and edit without unzipping. Is this like what you want
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
More like this
It used to work in 2.2.
Oh, you dont have to unzip the apk when using winrar.
I believe that in system ui that is actually part of an xml and needs to be moddified using xml.
Is this a simple PNG swap, or are there any XML/smali edits required?
if you're having a bunch of trouble, send it on over to me and i'll help u out.

Ok, check it out, obviously you will need to know how to use apktool. Do not ask me how to use it. Educate yourself.
To make the Notification Bar transparent I followed these steps:
-decompile SystemUI.apk
This is a direct quote and was very similar to what I had to do. The only different is that the code:
isn't exactly that. But, just look for the the const/4 and corresponding 0x2 and change that one to "-0x3."
Also, you may have to hunt for it, but it is there about 5-8 lines up.
To make the Notification Bar Shade transparent I followed these steps:
Again, direct quote and same situation, the v# might not match but just change the "0x2" to "-0x3."
And there ya go. Thanks to Master and ogdobber.

"status_bar_header_background.9.png" and the "status_bar_close_on.9.png" are simple PNG swap in the SystemUI.APK
Transparent notification background in the deodexed [ROM][STOCK] --- Version 4.22.651.2 --- Odexed & De-Odexed --- that was posted by xHausx requires that the SystemUI.apk be decompiled and then edit the status_bar_tracking.xml changing the default "android:background="#ff000000"" to "android:background="@drawable/shade_bg"". I'm getting a W: could not decode attr 0x20 error when decompiling so I havent been able to successfully make the changes to get the transparent shade_bg notification tray backdound to work.
If anybody can get this done an post the updated SystemUI.apk we'd appreicate it!
I finally figured out what was causing the error and have successfully decompiled the systemui.apk. Next i'm going to try what _Burst_ posted.

Guide to decompile android application
REQUIREMENT
Apktool [ http://www.mediafire.com/?ooaflvs6nvo5xvq ][Thanks to brut.all for this apktool]
Java JDK/JRE 32 bit [please google it guy's]
Little knowledge on cmd
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________________
Preparation before WORKING
Process :-
1)now install the java in your pc/lappy
then copy the apktool.zip & goto directory C:/
make a folder name apktool (u can name it by watever u like)
now goto that folder & paste the zip
extract that zip there...
2) now copy the .apk or jar file which u wnt to decompile
& paste it on apktool folder.....
also copy the framework-res.apk of that rom &
paste it on that folder..
Decompiling application
3) now open cmd
Your cmd will probly look like this..
C:\users\yourname>
so type in
cd.. (yes include the '..' and press enter after you type each command)
this will get you to back directory so now you will see
C:\users>
so type again
cd..
you should now see this:
C:\>
now type
cd apktool (and you are in the apktool directory)
4)Installing Framework
Now that you are in directory we need to install the device's framework to your system for it to compile correctly so type this:
apktool if framework-res.apk
this will install the devices framework to your system (need to do this)
5)now to decompile the apk you want to edit.. type this:
apktool d music.apk mod
music.apk is the apk your decompiling
mod is the folder you're creating for the decompiled apk
do whatever you want to do with your apk...
NOW RECOMPILING
6)now to recompile your new apk type this:
apktool b mod music-new.apk
mod is the folder with your edited files
music-new.apk is your new apk file
Now we are NOT done... we cannot use the new apk's...
now make two separate folder a & b
copy-paste the original music.apk in 'a'
& music-new.apk in 'b'
use something like 7zip, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "new-edited" apk and copy them into Original apk
now add to archive ...the origanl apk in zip format
& at the end of the file name .apk ( i mean give the file format name as .apk insted of .zip)
Now you are almost done..... :good: :good:
IF it is a system app then don't sign it....otherwise u have to sign that app....
That's all
don't forget to hit thanks or comment.... :good: :good:

Tutorial about speeding up notification center drop down/pull up
1.First of all you need to get SystemUI.apk of yur actual rom
The ne im using is open root explorer and copy SystemUI.apk to your sdcard
2.Connect the phone to the computer and copy the SystemUI.apk to the extracted APKTOOL directory (download apktoolApktool.zip)
3.There is a guide on how to use apktool here :Guide apktool
4.Decompile SystemUI.apk
5.Navigate \SystemUI\res\values and open dimens.xml (use notepad ++)
6. Find self_expand_velocity, self collapse velocity. and change the values from the defalut +2000 per each.
7.You can change other values too, they are pretty much selfexplanatory.
8.After the necessary changes save the file and recompile systemui.apk
9.After recmpiling you can push it to system using ADB or i made a .zip to flash it in recovery.(Just put SystemUI.apk in system/app and you are ok) Just whatch out for the name as it should be exactly the ssame as it was before.
10.Flash the zip wipe cache/dalvik and enjoy your new fast dropdown and pullup
DONT FORGET THANX BUTTON
EDIT: It was pointed out that in newer versions of android (dip=dp) its the same thing so don't change it.

On Note 2 (and probably other Samsung devices) there is no layout.xml, but values are inside smali file (SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\R$layout.smali). However those are in hex format which I cannot decode.

Above value translates to 2131492892 as integer, which makes zero sense. Probably some kind of float value?

Try to check for that id (0x7f0c001c and/or 0x7f0c001b) in res/values/ids.xml. It could point to any value in any of the xml inside res/ folder.
No xml file contains those values (I ran search over whole folder). Only before mentioned R$layout.smali and com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali

Any way I con do this in Linux, ubuntu to be specific.

That screenshot isn't from a 4.1/4.2 rom - So anyone who wants to try this and has 4.2 (I'm having 4.2.2), change only the values. leave the "dp" as is, don't change it into "dip".
OP - you might as well write this down!

Check your ROM if it is odex, check /system/app/ if there is SystemUI.odex. You need to deodexed if first so you can edit. However you can also di it using baksmali you just need the SystemUI.odex.
