I recently changed from OxygenOS to CM12.1... But I liked the look of the search bar in OxygenOS better (White and grey I guess).. Is there anyway to customize my search bar to look like that?.. I need a method that doesn't involve installing any launcher..but I don't mind installing any other app.. Or xposed module.. Thx in advance ☺

Hey guys i am having some trouble with making notification bar transparrent i have tried it by changing values in res>Values>drawables.xml and res>layout>super_status_bar.xml but still no effect .I have attached both stock and modded system ui in attachement .
Why don't you try a simpler way to make the statusbar transparent ?
How about just install Xposed Framework and then downloading Gravitybox Module to make the statusbar transparent

Hi guys,
have been updating to the new KitKat via flashing (cause i had root before and the update failed when trying OTA). I was using the following tutorial:
[new users cant post links]
Everything worked out fine, except that my homescreen looks the same as JellyBean. No transparent status bar, no new icons and w/e.
When i check under phone info, it says 4.4.2 is properly installed, also i have all the new settings stuff etc. Resetting my phone didnt help...
So, how do i get the usual KK style?
I'd really appreciate every help, so thanks in advance!

the ota is motorola's themed kitkat. if you want the transparent bars and different icons, you're going to have to install a different launcher.

well okay, thats kinda surprising as it was often stated that there would be "[...]transparent status and nav bars, and white status bar icons[...]"?!

Sorry I may have misunderstood, I know that the transparent status bars did not come in the ota, but as far as I was aware the status bar icons should all be white. I thought you were talking about stock icons such as dialer, camera, etc.

The stock Moto launcher retains the black notification bar and button area although the status icons should be white. If you want the transparent bars, Nova Launcher works great. If you go to the google play store and look for the Google Now launcher (the one used on Nexus devices) it will tell you that it's not compatible with your phone.
However you can use this site http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and just paste in the play store link for the G Now launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher and the site will give you a link to download the apk. You can then sideload the apk and it works fine.
I've searched and searched and I can't find how to remove the gray overlay over lockscreen wallpapers! Well actually I can find lots about it just nothing for a Nexus 5 on CM 11! I've evne tried looking through the Keyguard.apk but I can't find what I'd need to change. I thought GravityBox use to do it on my stock rom but I can't find the option now that I'm on CM and it's the only thing I dislike about the stock lockscreen. Thanks for you help.

Adjusting it is a custom ROM feature or with Xposed like you said, or do it in Android source.
I tried to install Tinted Status Bar, but nothing happened. The bar not transparent and not another color. How can I configure this Xposed plugin to make it work? Or is there a replacement of this plugin?
Sorry for my English

You need to install the Xposed framework before using any Xposed themes or mods.

Hi ,
I'm trying to build a custom rom for the jiayu g4 with as base stock kitkat rom.
Now, I would like to add theme ability to the rom. Not with xposed framework or such, just a theme chooser like in the xperia and cm settings.
Can anyone help me with this? The intension is to have such setting (or app that I can link to settings) to easely change the theme.
If there's an option to do this, but specific for my kind of phone (so no theme's exist yet), I wouldn't mind theming a bit. In that case I could provide the users with 3 or 4 different UI collours and different icons or such to choose from.
Thanks,
Louis

You could try adding the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM and offer some themes for it but that isn't device specific as such. That would most likely be the easy option where something else could take a lot of time though.

How can i add the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM? Isn't the cyanogenmod theme engine built in in the framework and very difficult to add to a ROM?

It is built into the framework and requires an AOSP based rom. Also the version for that OS had a ton of issues that were never fixed as it abandoned for the newer setup

So you're telling me I must not try to add the cyanogenmod theme engine? What would be the easiest way to add some theme's then? It doesn't have to be theming like in cyanogenmod or such. Just changing the theme collour from as example black to blue would be enough for me. Then I can provide them with the themes black, blue, red, green or such.
Thanks for taking the time to answer

To do what you want you would have to rewrite all the base framework files and add everything in by hand. To be honest it will be far more work then it is worth. Your best option would be to make flashable theme zips, where you change all the color options to each and every single apk in the rom.

wouldn't it work to just change the systemui or such so the status bar, volume pannel, settings etc change collour and maybe some icons (like wifi, bt,..)? And then I could search for an app that automaticaly flashes zip's, that way the users just need to choose the theme they want and the phone does the rest himself?
Or is there a way to implend xposed modules into the system so I can use XthemeEngine without having to install xposed module? Or implend xposed framework and XthemeEngine in the ROM so you just flash it with the rest of the ROM? But in that last case, it maybe would be stupid to do the work for it as everyone can easily find out about XthemeEngine if they realy want to apply some themes. Plus xposed and XthemeEngine would be 2 apps taking space in the drawer and memory wasting for the users who don't want to theme..

Well thats the thing. The volume panel color shares its color with the rest of the menus in the rom, The settings is set by the settings apk and the icons are scattered across a ton of different apks. Some in the framework and some in the system ui.
The xposed route is up to you. I find no use for xposed myself.
Ill be honest there is no easy way to do this. What you want to do takes weeks worth of work even for a single color theme. This is due to everything being cross linked to everything else. You change the color for say the clock then the color changes in 50 other places as well.
