Please note I am not responsible for anything bad happening to your device in case you mess something up. I have done everything written in this thread myself. But if you do not recompile the APK properly you might have to restore. So backup first.
I have made some modifications in my SystemUI and I am posting them here in case any of you might want those as well.
1. Remove S-Finder Bar from Notification Panel
Although I have seen another post on how to do that, but that method does not work right, the notification panel animation gets messed up that way.
To remove S-Finder Bar,
Simply go to system/build.prop and change
ro.product.name=xxx
to
ro.product.name=vzw
and thats it. Just restart and it will be gone.
As a side effect you will get permanent data icon even when using wifi. But it can be fixed if you want to.
Decompile SystemUI.apk and change the following files in res/drawable-xxhdpi to 1x1 transparent pngs.
i) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_disabled
ii) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_connected_disabled
And thats it. Recompile the APK and push into the system.
Now you have S Finder Bar gone with no side effect data icon.
2. Make the Recent Apps background fully transparent.
To do this, you need to go to res/values/colors.xml and look for the following line
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">
and put the following value there instead of the one written there
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">#33000000</color>
I have it set to nearly full transparent just like stock android but you can change it if you want.
Now to make the buttons background transparent as well go to drawables.xml in the same folder and look for the line
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">
change its value to
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">#00000000</item>
and recompile/push into system and you are done.
3. Change the color of default Black status bar.
The entire look of lollipop is white and majority of non material design apps are white as well, so I have changed the default color of my status bar to grey instead of black. It matches well with legacy apps like root explorer as I use the white theme. Plus it looks amazing with Chrome.
To change the color of the status bar to your liking go to res/values/colors.xml in decompiled SystemUI and look for
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">
now the value in this line can be changed to the hex color of your choice.
If you want to set it the same as the one in screenshot. Change it to
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">#ff9a9a9a</color>
4. To make the clock center

5. To Clear the space taken by Clear All Button in notification center (Thanks to tkari4)
When you pull down notification center there is wasted space on bottom taken by clear all button specially in Landscape mode.
you can attain that space.
NOTE: Clear all button will still work but there will be no text. You just press in the space of clear button and it will clear all.
open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and set these to 0.0dip
<dimen name="close_handle_height">34.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="close_handle_underlap">34.0dip</dimen>
recompile and push in system
I have also hidden the Semi Transparent Status Bar in stock launcher and made it fully transparent. I can post it too if someone wants that.
I have also changed status bar icons to stock lollipop and modified the lockscreen to look like stock lollipop.

I figured out how to make my notification bar transparent, as well as the drag-down bar and status header bar. did it by pulling framework-res.apk, opened with 7-zip, edited the files from within 7-zip (didnt extract them at all), saved the changes, closed up and pushed the framework back to the phone. upon bootup however, once i unlocked the phone i got blasted with a stampede of FCs, all standard google apps and services that run on startup. even after pushing the stock, unchanged framework back, FCs continue. anyone know whats happening?
I think you need to edit the services.Jar file as well

try a fix permissions maybe?
what rom?
im on the stock 8/1 2.2 leak. i figured out a temporary fix, i just modified the files in the smooth sense icons update zip since im using that on my phone, and did the update in recovery that way. it worked, but the only mod that worked was to the notification bar itself, not the drop-down bar or the header, so a services.jar edit is necessary to. which sucks because i dont know how to edit jar files or even navigate them to find what i need to edit lol. im gonna try to combine the smooth icons framework with the services.jar from the 50% shade backgroung update.zip and see how that runs. ill at least have a transparent status background/notification bar. i'll just have to learn java language and figure out the .jar setups on these phones myself and try editing then. i'll get back to you guys in a month
Have you checked out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744256 , which includes which lines to modify in the services.jar as well as the file to make transparent for the drop down?
Need to merge these two into one...
Heck - I'm very tempt to give it a try - i want mostly transparent top bar with 'frosted' icons - basically so if using default launcher pro, the top and bottom of the home screen match.
Plus, with that setup, it will open up a lot of the screen real estate.

yea i have the combined smooth sense icons and 50% shaded status background. i modded it to have a transparent top status bar, but the actual pull down bar itself (the one that materializes when you drag down your status bar) is services.jar related, im guessing, because i edited that in the framework and it didnt affect it. same with the status header, where it says Verizon Wireless.
after modding the status bar though, i was reminded that the individual icons had there own blackish square backgrounds that need to be eliminated, so im gonna be working on those hopefully today (gonna take FOREVER). when all is finished i'll post up screenshots and find out what everyone thinks, then possibly post up a zip of my own (with permission from jercick who did the smooth icons and whoever did the 50% shade) containing these mods.
Hello,
I'm on stock 2.3.6 rooted. I started manually editing/modifying my galaxy fit. Now I want to edit the dockbar of stock 2.3.6. I really hate that semi-transparency of the dockbar of the main screen. So far I managed to edit the dockbar of the app drawer, but can't find the .png of the MAIN SCREEN DOCKBAR BACKGROUND. Also, I can't figure out(if i find it) how to make it 100% transparent.
Can someone help me out with this??Which .png(from Touchwiz30Launcher.apk/res/drawable-Idpi) is it?
Edit: Ok,so I found it, but i can't make it full transparent.If i edit the .png, I can only give it a full color
If i try to edit the coresponding XML file, I don't know what to put in there.
"TouchWiz30Launcher.apk\res\drawable\homescreen_menu_mainmenu_icon_bg.xml" : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@color/menu_background_transparent" />

just replace @color/menu_background_transparent with @color/transparent
if you don't have a transparent color in your app go to /res/values/colors.xml and add this line:
<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

Thanks a lot. I already made it transparent. I just went on a online photoeditor site and edited the image KEEPING its transparency, made full transparent and voilla!
The thing is that the windows editor wouldn't keep transparency of the png's(or I don't know how to do it).

Hello,
We users of Note1 is having status bar all the time at the Top and I want to change the following:
1] Change the color to black as it was originally back in Gingerbread... In JB they changed (Official stock) to dark grey!
2] Have Status Bar like in Note 3 ,i.e, all info. is still displayed but beneath the screen wallpaper, so that it blends.
I am not rooted, but all kinds of tricks and links will be appreciated.
1. Use a different launcher like Nova.
2. Modify the systemui.apk yourself by decompiling and editing.
3. Root, use xposed framework and modules to change the status bar to black, transparent, or whatever color you like.
I already did some modification the status bar to make it transparent, but one thing that annoy me a lot is the divider of the toogle of quick setting, I can't find any similar image.png in drawable hdpi as well as an XML in res/layout, anyone here can help where those dividers are located? or tell me the location of XML code? for further information, see the attachment (red-circled ones)
If you just want a transparent status bar, restore everything like it was before, then install Xposed Framework and Gravitybox, and you can set a transparent status bar there.
Transparency
ya, if you need just to make it transparent, Gravity box is all you need.
But for the dividers, there is nothing in it. Please let me know if you find out anything about the dividers. :good:
Does anyone know how we can change the color of the dropdown menu (qs background etc.) in a theme?
Somehow I'm not getting it with help of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/guide-t2978121
Everytime I add a colors.xml file with
Code:
<color name="system_primary_color">#ff131313</color>
<color name="system_secondary_color">#ff212121</color>
the systemui theme asset loses its permission and it doesn't change anything, not even the navbar..
