Simple as installing an application and rebooting. If you dislike it all you have to do is uninstall and reboot.
Home button still giggles to help prevent burn in

Why would this need permission to modified or delete your SD card?

Actually, I'm reall NooB. Just come to Android first time and just about a month to learn everything and quick how to flash the Modified firmware, ext4, CWM.... etc. Now with the other modified framework to get to the transparent status bar, make my old head a lot of headache .
Anyway... continuing learning... keep it up until die, man...

It's doesn't work, and besides, my P1000 was retired. Now, I'm on P6200 with Honeycomb and the bottom status bar.
As far as I know, there's no transparent status bar up to now.
Pls. correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.
Thnx so much, so sad =(

[MOD][4.4][KRT16O][KRT16S] Transparent Lockscreen Mod

I've been looking around for days and couldn't find a translucent lockscreen mod for 3G, so I decided to create one:
This is ONLY for 3G Nexus 7(2012) and includes Tethering/Wifi Hotspot mod as an extra.
All tethering/Wifi hotspot credits go to xtoudi and stridger for making this happen.
SMS mod credits go to GuyAdams.
************ STOP ************
**** READ THE POST BEFORE FLASHING ****
Flashing Instructions:
1- Flash the krt16x-Stock file matches your build.
2- Reboot
3- Flash the modded framework now.
4- Enjoy.
UPDATE: Added modified frameworks for KRT16S as well.
UPDATE2: Also added SMS mod by GuyAdams as requested.
Thanks for this! i had to flash the untethered first then modified one.
it worked thanks
can be combined with this sms mod? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535586

hey mate you are the only one providing the transparent bars for tilapia and this is a great things! thank you very very much!
but could you please also provide a version of without the tethering mod? I flash this one together with the SMS/Hangouts + tethering mod by @GuyAdams but they are not really compatible.. if I flash one I lose the goodies from the other one and vice versa..!!
this is really sad..
thanks you very much for paying attention, hope to hear you soon!
Update OP with SMS mod as requested.
For 3-way reboot, I have to look further into the code, maybe next week.
thanks mate! great work..!! now it's even better!!!
Hi wejgomi
Thanks for buidling this.
I tried flashing "krts16s-Trans-Tether-SMS.zip" using flashify (via TWRP) and the device now won't boot.
It just sits at the boot logo forever (an animation of four coloured circles for stock 4.4.)
I'm running Stock 4.4 (KRT16S) with root (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69) and TWRP (2.6.3.1) on tilapia.
I can revert to my backup no problem but I'd like to get it working.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers

You should flash the krt16x-Stock.zip before you flash modded framework.
Please read the whole post before you proceed.
I'm adding a warning to OP, many people seem to confuse.

Ah, thanks. So, because I'm running krt16o, I should flash krt16o-NoTether-stock.zip first, correct?
There is no krt16o-Stock.zip file attached to the OP, only krt16s-Stock.zip.

Hi again.
I've got the mod installed now, thanks.
Tethering and SMS are working great but I'm not sure about the transparent lock screen.
Sorry if this a stupid question but how do I enable the transparency effect?
My lock screen doesn't look any different: My wallpaper, clock with date, carrier name, status icons in top right & up arrow at the bottom center of the screen.

Do you have Google Experience Launcher installed?
If not, get it here GEL Thread
Download only the launcher.

Thanks, I didn't have GEL installed but I do now. My home screen is a bit different but there's still no change to the lockscreen. Should I expect to see my home screen icons on the lock screen? That's what I thought transparent lock screen would do.
Maybe GEL has to be installed before the MOD?
The transparency is to be intended as transparency of the status bar and of the navigation bar!

[Q] Need help about SystemUI apk

Hi, I'm using HiSense EG680 bundled with Smartfren (local Indonesian CDMA operator) and I'm using a custom Rom created by a local dev
I need a help about the system UI apk and everything that is related with the status bar and the dialer app.
The dev has set a centered clock on the status bar and a mobile network speed indicator also on the status bar, that cannot be modified by gravitybox
The problem is I don't really like the centered clock and the speed indicator, and on the dialer app the dev has set an image that not everyone would like it as a dialer background. I want the clock to be moved back to the left side and the indicator removed, and the dialer background like the default. but I don't know how to done it as I'm not so familiar with the compile and decompile thing
I need someone to help me with the problem, By editing the apk and send it back to me. you can see The screenshot of The problem in the attachment, I will send the files that needed to you
Thanks in advance

It'll be better if you contacted the developer of that systemui apk to help you as he'll be able to help you better than anyone else. Also if u don't like the status bar or dialer u can change it by installing another one which u like.

Okay so I assume that u have the required apks. Just go to the thread linked in my signature and follow the lucky patcher method (point 1) to install ur status bar. As for the dialer, it can also be installed using the same method, just skip the uninstalling part (begin from step 6)

Your method ended up to "SystemUI has stopped working"
Well I have a systemUI.apk that doesn't match my custom rom I guess

Hey I think I found the solution to your problem but you'll need to tell me if you made a backup before flashing the new rom ? And no, I'm not going to tell you to restore your previous rom. But before typing any further I'd like to know the answer to this.

I don't know how mtk backups are like, but I guess there must be a system.yaffs2.img file in the backup. Download smanager here and use it to open that file. Now go to system/app and copy the SystemUI apk and install it using that Lucky Patcher method. Hope this works.
Or i would just like to say, download custom status bar. There are many themers out there. Just google custom status bar for your device. I did the same.

[REQUEST] Mod for StatusBar

Hello community,
I used GravityBox to customize the StatusBar... Mod like: Center clock, add date, increase font size, remove icon like BT, Vibration, etc... Now, I'm in stock nougat (S7E 935F) and I really miss GravityBox.
Is there any simple mod to customize StatusBar?
Thank you
