Transparent status bar. - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched forums before and a tried a few of the flashable transparent status bar zips for cm 7 and I've always ended up with no status bar at all and had to replace systemui.apk, I'm using love cry a4 black. What am I doing wrong?

Use UOT Kitchen, you will have to upload Framework-res.apk SystemUI.apk and Tw-framework.apk if using a TW ROM.

You paste them into the drawables folder in the framework-res. After you are done copy the framework to the CM ROM in system/framework and resign the update. Then you can apply it in recovery.
EDIT: This is only for the graphics that are in framework-res. Some are in the Launcher.apk and the individual icons are stored in each individual apk in system/app
Just copy and paste.

[Q] Transparent statusbar (brood rom) i9001

Hi,
i already took a look in other threads and tried everything but i couldnt find a solution.
I want to have a half transparent statusbar on my i9001 with the brood rom. I changed some xmls and pngs in systemui, framework-res, twframework-res and touchwiz but nothing helped.
Could someone help me to find the right files to change?
Thanks
E: I mean the bar at the top not the notification bar.
E2: Used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053019
Changing the png worked but only on the lockscreen. Also edited the xml but nothing changed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298591
Also doesnt work.
i'm not sure what u're exactly trying to do, but have u tried the online UOT kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ , there are options for status bar transparency etc...

[Q] how to change cyanogen mod froyo status bar?

how do i change the status bar? not colour, i feel uncomfortable with the minicm froyo status bar. cyanogenmod logo on it...
You will have to edit either framework-res, or if its like most ROMs with cyanogen mod settings, you will have to edit systemui.apk. Pull a status bar from another ROM or find one some where you like. put it in your file using 7zip(drag and drop). Then use adb to push the apk back into the system file it came from.
If you have ThemeChooser.apk, you can make your own status bar and themes at UOT Kitchen (sorry unable to directly post link but do a search.)

[GUIDE]How to make status bar transparent

You need to have these things first :
1- Root
2- Deodexed ROM
3- PC (with JAVA installed)
4- Any apk decompiler (apktool, apk-multitool, etc..)
How to :-
1- Copy SystemUI.apk from /system/app/ to your sd card via any root browser.
2- transfer SystemUI.apk to your computer.
3- Decompile SystemUI.apk.
4- Open res\layout\status_bar.xml
5- There you will see a value like android:background=FF000000
6- To make it translucent type 5F000000 instead of FF000000 or to make it full transparent type 000000
Enjoy and if any questions plz ask here.. .

Ok, this guide needs to be elaborated... :angel:
I did the same, and following was output:
1. Even while changing background to 5f000000, background became full transparent.
2. Whenever i open an app, status bar becomes black again(opaque)
3. During media scanning also status bar looses transparency!
This means status bar is only transparent when on homescreen!
I'm attaching images which i tried on jelly blast rom and also the modded systemui.apk (of Jelly Blast rom) if anyone wants to try. Just rename the file to systemui.apk and put in system/app, change permissions and reboot. you will face lots of force close messages but don't worry after reboot it'll be fine!:good:

I think editing framework-res.apk will solve this!

bro you don't have to edit drawer.xml but statusbar.xml -.-
And this guide is small and easy one for those who don't want to all the long fuss!
so you will get transparent status bar only when on homescreen or pulling the notification panel down
And I you want permanent transparency then you must search other guides or if they are not there then I will try to make it when I would get time
i think that I should mod the launcher so that it will have permanent trans. but I don't know how, if its ok with to make a tut it will be a big help for me

This guide is correct. Just make it sure that you paste this value "#00000000" or "#ff000000"
android:background="#00000000" or android:background="#ff000000"
Thanks!

Search, Kit kat status bar is already made. It is in Themes & apps section.
And you will need to deodex your system before using any mod.

Decompile systemui.apk and go to layout/twstatus bar.xml and change the colour code of statbar.android:background blabla to #00000000
and in drawables folder open status bar.xml and change the colour code to #00000000
you have got transparent status bar now
