Hello. If you want your statusbar transparent you have to edit the file SystemUI and edit the background of the statusbar.

It doesnt work bro
I have tried all
I have edited pngs, xmls, smalis
It doesnt work
I dedicated my 2 months on it
Still dont work
We need someone who knows a lotttttt
M8, it is easy like the quantum theory
1. Decompile systemUI.apk
2. go to its /layout folder
3. edit status_bar.xml file:
- find line : <com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView ...... containing android:background="#FF000000"
- change value of background to "#00000000" and now you have got full transparency of statusbar ( just like mine )
easy, isn't it ?

Yes, it is. I did this screen shot especially for you to show you result of changes.
To tell the truth I don't remember from which place I downloaded my apktool, but use google and I'm sure that you will find what you looking for

The apktool I used first could not compile SystemUI.apk
Then I changed it
Then I changed the hex code to semi transparent
And when I replaced the SystemUI.apk
My status bar was gone
I think transparent might work
Can you please upload your apktool
I would be really grateful
As U wish, here U are. Hope will be helpful
Okay?

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)

now i've stable, but when i write the post had RC4.
This is my SystemUI.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/548546/SystemUI.apk
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:

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

Add features to your kernel( from XDA-U)
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/adding-features-to-your-kernel
TIPS
Tip-1
Enable CRT screen off animation in ur phone(Will not enable animation when screen is turned on)(does not work on S5830i)
Decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values find bools.xml and open it.
[/B]
Change this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
to this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
If this does not work, look for detailed guide with editing of services.jar
Tip-2
Change your android version and name(just a superficial change!)
1. Open your explorer.
2. Go to system/
3. There's a file named "build.prop"
4. Long press and then open in text editor.
5. Find these-
ro.build.display.id - Build Number(Default: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2)
ro.build.version.release- Android version(Default: 2.3.6)
6. Edit, Save and Reboot!
Tip-3
Make status bar transparent(Only transparent for homescreen)
1. Decompile systemui.apk
2. Go to res/layout/status_bar,xml
3.Find android:background=FF000000 and change it to android:background=000000000 for full transparency and to android:background=5F000000 for half transparency.
4.If android:[email protected] statusbar_background (this name can be different) is present in status_bar.xml then you can find the image named statusbar_background in res/drawable-ldpi( or mdpi/hdpi depending on the device) and make that image transparent via image editors!
This simply means our status bar background is drawable and we are providing proper image for it!
Will add more tips soon!

Also, is the CRT effect not able to be done on a Gingerbread-based stock rom? I decompiled my framework-res.apk with NinjaMorph but, I can't seem to find the dir [APK ROOT]/res/values nor the bools.xml file...
Another question, is it dangerous to my rom's stability if I use somebody else's framework-res.apk? (taking into account that my rom's backed up though, it's not really an issue )

It is yes, but you can only theme images it seems with NinjaMorph, which is why it doesn't list the folders that consist mainly of xmls, which can only be edited after being decompiled.

:good:good work
Great :laugh:
thank you.. gonna add gradients to my. next gb rom.. I've more white if you want I can share
Nice guide. :good:
Btw You can use xml method for the gradient statusbar, So that the users can change the opacity and color of their choice without any image editor. If you didn't understand you can take a look at gradient_bg.xml in SystemUI.zip from my guide.
i will definitely gonna try it on my ace with gb
happy new year in advance :laugh::good:

Ya, the output will be same and this method is simple also but if the user wants to change the color of the gradient
In image method: He should use any photo editor.
In xml method: He should just change the hex color code.
Just a suggestion that you can edit the op and create 2 methods for this, Method 1 is image method and Method 2 is xml method.

Hello, first thank you for this but I think this is not a full guide. I tried that but icons & words got blurred.. First do we need a transparency mod inside systemui smali files?

There is no need to do modding with smali files for getting transparency. The icons are only for MDPI devices. I have resized the icons according to my device.
And please don't quote whole OP.

Try these steps:
Decompile your launcher
open res/values/styles.xml
add this style
Code:
<style name="My.Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>
now open AndroidManifest.xml
find this line (this line may be different in your rom)
Code:
<application android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">
add this code in that line
Code:
android:theme="@style/My.Theme"
Now that line will look like this
Code:
<application [COLOR="Red"]android:theme="@style/My.Theme"[/COLOR] android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">
Recompile
Push it in to system/app
Set proper permissions(rw-r--r--)

I guess you are using Holo Launcher.
If yes then go to Launcher Settings > Desktop Settings > Scroll to Bottom > Check Hide Shadows at top and bottom.
Now enjoy gradient status bar.

Nice..gonna try it out..
y dnt u try to make ur Rom transparent..it wil match ur status bar.... ..
SORRY!
Sorry but i think i have a wrong with this files i'll fix it so wait please wait.
wats error??
you cant do that with public.xml because not everyones public.xml will be the same
if they have modded things before they will have extra lines and so on so you cant say delete between here and there and replace with this
Also you cant tell someone to use those hex values
hex values relate to smali code and if you change them you also have to change the smali values too or it will force close or display something totally different
for example if I add a png to res/drawable-ldpi and recompile the apk it will add its hex value to the public.xml
you can then reference this hex value in smali to display the png - for example an image next to a volume slider
different frameworks may have different hex values in public.xml especially if things have already been modified and have had things added
In my experience the quicket way to make the statusbar transparent is just by adding a fully transparent png and then changing the android backgroud to a drawable value in status_bar.xml to reference that png
if you want to spend a little more time you can use the colour chooser smali and app so you can set your status bar colour and transparency level to what ever you want when ever you want without decompiling it everytime to change it
For cm7/9 its slightly different - you have to mod some smali and do other things
Working or not??
