[Q] Make notification bar transperant

Hey people. I would like to make my notification bar transperant, just dosn't know how? - Please help.

Well the hard way would be to modify or the framework.res or whaterver exact filename is. There are long guides posted around and it's needed to flash the rom with the modifided framework.res I believe or else with root access using adb copy it to the system folders. Anyway honestly can't be F**ked with that
The easy way is just install a theme with it already done. I like AuraxTSence theme.It's got a nice transparent status bar and notification bar as well as lock screen. Follow this link. Just make sure you download the one that's been modified to work for Desire HD.

If you don't know how to install it you just copy the .apk file over to your sd card and use a file manager like Astro to install the theme just like any app.

^Easier still, you can download the XDA app off of the market, find the skins thread and download and install from there.

I tried that but transparency didn't work

For transparency modding framework-res or using skins is not enough since froyo. You need a modified services.jar
In order to acchieve it you decompile services.jar with smali baksmali, open StatusBarService.smali and look for:
.line 1531
const/4 v5, 0x2
replace it with:
.line 1531
const/4 v5, -0x3
Then compile and push back to system/framework
The faster way:
"Steal" the services.jar from my Revolution theme and enjoy - in any case you certainly need a transparent or semi transparent status_bar_background.png in framework-res. If you also need the top of the bar transparent also use a semi transparent statusbar_background.png
You can also use my TransparencyHackSense2.2.1 metamorph, which injects the png in your framework and the modded classes.dex in your services.jar - I added this time both png`s for top bar and background, will certainly only work on 2.2.1 Sense ROM`s

look at my theme, i just hard modified framework res

Transparent notification bar

Hello everybody
Could someone please give me a stepwise breakdown on if/how I could get trasparent notification bar on CM7 nightly ?

that's good idea!

You would have to pull the theme manager theme of choice out and change the statusbar_background.9.png to a transparent color.
So for SystemUI(using winRAR):
double click on the .zip to open it
double click on system ->app -> SystemUI.apk to open it
click on res
pull drawable-hdpi to your desktop
find statusbar_background.9.png and open it with your editor of choice that has transparency ability i.e paint.net, photoshop
make the bar transparent, save it
drop the file back in the drawable-hdpi folder of the SystemUI apk
when the little window pops up to say would you like to blah blah blah click yes
flash the rom and enjoy your transparent status bar

For some reason, after multiple tries, i keep messing up my status bar. Im not sure if there are minute settings that i have to tinker with in paint.net but for some reason its just not coming out well. If you have any paint.net specific transparency settings to toggle id greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the above tutorial though, it may just be me not getting it haha.

You have to do it for an individual theme. EX: Cyanbread.apk you have to edit file. Sometimes you have to do some coding.

sonny told me this some time ago but apktool doesn't work
you need to modify the classes.dex first!
this is pretty advanced but not that hard to learn....
the only way I have been able to do this is by way of baksmali-smali..
-find smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
-open StatusBarService.smali
-search for the line
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
-above that line you will see
Code:
const/4 v5, 0x2
-change it to
Code:
const/4 v5, -0x3
-then change to statusbar_background.9.png to the level transparency you want in gimp or photoshop

It is this might look like greek but it is really simple once you get into it (learn baksmali-smali). changing the code line from const/4 v5, 0x2 to (-0x3) is necessary for anything to be transparent i.e. pulldown shade

I had to do that for the shade_bg, but I haven't found anything that's been easier so far.

Finally someone has done by following the advice above?

clearbar only for cm7 rc4
this will make your statusbar clear. this is the only mod. you must run a live wallpaper or if you are using a gallery picture make sure in adw settings/system preferences that wall paper hack is disabled
http://www.mediafire.com/?hx155d77k3ee9v7
edit* the pulldown is also transparent

just un zip it and look at the names you dont want and change in gimp what you dont like...then (you still have a zipped version) use winrar to open (not unzip) and drag the newly modified .pngs in and delete the ones you don't want
then to flash turn off signature verification in recovery...(or re-sign)

Need Help with Editing XMLs

I've been looking around for a few hours now trying to figure out how to edit these xml files with no luck. I've found numerous tutorials but none of them seem to get me in the right direction. I can't get passed opening the files.
I've tried TextWrangler on my Mac and Notepad++ in Windows ... both give me a bunch of giberish.
I am able to see a few lines of txt like layout_height and textColor but there are no values listed to edit??? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong xml files?
Ultimately I'm trying to see if I can adjust the layout and txt color of the notification pulldown.
Any suggestions?

When you go to extract the apk, just decompile, DO NOT extract. (If using apkmanager)
Then I use Notepad++ for any changes. Just remember to not extract the apk, just decompile it, then go into the projects folder and it will be in there.

Which brings up another question ... do I edit the ones in framework-res or lge-res? or both?

I believe you can actually adjust the size of that by adjusting the size of the images. Try making the images wider, and leave the height the same, and it "should" shrink the images, and in turn shrink the bar.

I have been working on something myself and after several failed attempts I used UOT Kitchen, edited some files in both framework-res.apk, lge-res.apk,(using paint.net) added a wallpaper I found, installed an adw themed launcher I just have no freakin idea how to put everything in a zip to flash it in cwm.

Looks good so far... How did you change the color of the app labels to red? Was that in UOT Kitchen?
As far as the update zip... I couldn't quite figure it out but I got it to work. There's probably an easier way, but i extracted a zip I downloaded from UOT and replaced the framework_res with my updated one. Then I used testsign.jar (requires java SDK) to sign the update.
I dont have access to the links I found for this, if someone else has a better way please let us know.

Thanks MT.. I will try to get on.. what site and channel? The app labels I can't take credit for. I installed adw launcher and a free red theme.. would have to look it up again. That takes care of the dock and app drawer and icons and labels. I guess you would have to install adw and the theme yourself to get the whole effect.
The notification pull down menu I edited in UOT except for the gps, bt, airplane ect was just MT's Revolt icons I just colored them red from green using paint.net. I want to change the top bar icons.. just have to find some I like. The battery mod was in UOT Kitchen.
I tried to set the wallpaper as "default_wallpaper" in lge-res.apk but after replacing the lge-res.apk in /system/framework it doesn't actually set the wallpaper after rebooting. Wonder if it would after flashing if that makes a difference? or would that be in the script? Or could I only do that if I were modding a entire ROM?
I will try to do something with adw launcher so I can call it my own but lacking time right now. Thanks for the help!!

[MOD][XML]Remove Carrier Label from Status bar and notification panel[MOD][XML]

Guide How to remove Carrier Label from Status Bar and Notification Panel​
Edits required to XML in /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Locate your SystemUI.apk
adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Extract from Stock unmodded S5 ROM
Decompile the apk
Using either Virtuous Ten Studio or Apk-Multitool
decompile the apk.
In the decompiled folder browse to /res/layout
Open res/layout/status_bar.xml
Open res/values/dimens.xml
Step 1:
Open res/layout/status_bar.xml with notepad++ or compatible text editor (Not notepad or wordpad) and make the change below
1. Search for "carrier"
2. Change the default value to match the Blue highlighted value
Code:
<TextView [COLOR="blue"]android:textSize="0.0dip"[/COLOR] android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/carrierLabel" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
3. Save and close the file.
Step 2:
Open res/values/dimens.xml with notepad++ or compatible text editor.
1. Search for "carrier_label_height"
2. Change the default value to match the Blue highlighted value
Code:
<dimen name="carrier_label_height">[COLOR="Blue"]0.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
3. Save and close the file.
Recompile the APK DO NOT RESIGN THE APK
Reboot to SS recovery and adb push to /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Delete Cache and Dalvik-Cache and reboot.
NOTICE
This MOD has been around for years and is constantly being modded or adjusted for each OS version,
each device and each devs own needs. DEVS are free to use this mod no need to ask for permissions.
All I ask is recognition as to where you got it from.

See post #2 for an alternate method

Alternate Method [smali edit]
Alternate method for removing carrier branding using smali edits​
Pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk - either from device or from ROM zip file.
Decompile using available tools - I recomend Virtuous Ten Studio
Locate /smali/con/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar.smali
Search for this method .method setCarrierLabelVisibility(ZI)V
Replace the entire contents of the method with the one below:
Code:
.method setCarrierLabelVisibility(ZI)V
.locals 0
return-void
.end method
Re-compile the apk and adb push to your device or add back into ROM zip and flash.
NOTE:
This method has the advantage of not interfering with the statusbar layout or ticker display as previous mods would occasionally cause
the statusbar icons to "jump" as tho some ticker display or carrier logo was attempting to display.
The other advantage is that this method should work for android lollipop as well (untested)

as a note @TheAxman the statusbar is still a little flaky it comes and goes of its own accord but the notification panel one is completely gone,
P.S.
Think I'm gonna have to check out your complete vissix rom when you get it done :good::good:
P.P.S. I just modded the OP, think i may have fixed the statusbar label as well

We are doing this mod now, I will let you know the result....:good::good:
EDIT: Ok, I tried everything, checked each line character by character, logo still visible, what am I missing? Something else must be located somewhere else....

logo still visible on the statusbar expaneded it should look like the screenshot attached (with the exception that i have a custom background)
if you want the logo off of the lockscreen thats a different mod
and the normal status bar one is still flaky

lol i think our replies crossed paths whew glad it worked, i think the status bar label is a smali edit i just havent found it yet.

I'll be posting a revised mod this evening that will correctly remove all instances of the carrier labeling.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app

[OP] has been revised, this will correctly remove the carrier label from the notification pull down as well as from the status bar

Yep, tested and working, great job @cstayton, not one issue. Thanks for your work on this one......:good::good::good:
Been looking for this fix for the Note3 when it was released for the att device, best guide for the carrier removal is right here hands down, easy and quick! And I have tried most all others...

Is there a way to revert this to restore back the carrier label

Do you still have the systemui.apk before it was modified? If yes, two ways.
Safer way: make a flashable zip that replaces your current one with it.
Quicker way: copy/paste the original apk in system, fix permissions, reboot. This way will cause systemui.apk to fc until you reboot.
