Hi guys,
I think the new JB is great in all ways except one, I hate the new grey status bar. Is there any way to change it black or transparent? I know that this "problem" has been fixed on other Samsung devices like SGS3 or Note, but what about SGS Advance?
Unfortunately I am not an android expert and don't know what files should be modified for this. But I think it is as simple as in the other Samsung devices. Could somebody from the expert guys handle this?
Tnx in advance!

Actually the grey status bar is a bug...I got it yesterday too...please do a complete factory reset,cache/dalvik wipe in stock recovery...the actual status bar is black...the bug gives the whole rom a peculiar grey tint...also the transparency elements are hampered...everything was solved by the simple factory reset and cache wipe...plz try it...:good:
hmm interesting
I did a factory reset before and after installing JB, but I will try once more.
maybe it will help...
(the only problem is I have installed all apps that I needed and now the phone works well...now I have to reinstall everything )

Well.....thats a pain in the ass I knw.....i had to do it myself yesterday:cyclops:.....when i istalled everything first time and then thought "maybe" the grey thing is a bug...coz it shouldn't look this way normally...then I took the risk and it paid off...the rom looks pretty nice though...I changed the ppi to 170 and swapped the stock launcher with Nova...and uninstalled the useless bloatware samsung usually provides...much ram freed too... :victory:

Well that isnt normal now is it?? status bar normally has the same colour as the drop down menu...so maybe its a different bug in yours,i dont know...i have only documented what i experienced personally yesterday....your experience may of course vary with mine...in my case it was a bug...coz its not there now...status bar is now beautiful black...and all the transparency effects are fully working too...

Well its just a personal preference.....I like having larger screen space...changing ppi to about 170 gives a decently large screen-space without much loss in image quality to my eyes...
This is not a bug, it's a feature.
Samsung deliberately changed the color of the statusbar to darkgrey so the Amoled pixels on the statusbar are ON like all the other pixels of the screen so they all have the same level of wear.
This way you won't get a different color on that bar over time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897351
Anyway this is why they changed it for the SGS3
Guys this is the color of my status bar presently...u can check and compare it yourself...if this is the color of yours too the you haven't faced the bug i mentioned....

Hey!
Can somebody make a theme for MIUI status bar like iPhones one (screenshot) ?
The point is to make it a little bit thinner than normal MIUI.
Note: I want it for MIUI Gingerbread 'cause it's easier than MIUI v4, but if you want it for MIUI v4 ...
Thanks!!
Every time i look at a picture of an iphone i want one so badly
Me too, but my phone looks now like an iPhone with MIUI + Ultimate iPhone theme.
Now I'm tryin to make it perfect
ugh. just go buy one.
If you pay for it then okay!
In Europe it's expensive my dear friend!
Try this psd, mate, not so hard but it need a lot of time with these resource you can rebuild the iphone theme for miui for best result

Don't even think that's possible unless you use a lower DPI.

i guess you can do it by editing systemui.apk's layout xml files manually
your gonna mess up alot of things by editing status bar to be thinner.
If you do it, the time will have to be changed to be smaller and fit, then it will have to be modded again so miui can change where it's location is. All this but for pretty much every notification you'll ever get. all the icons are going to have to be smaller than before, and it may not even fit on the status bar.
Just use a lower dpi, im on 200 and it looks really good.
Changing DPI, the icons remain at the same dimension and the labels are smaller and they come on the icons..

The battery and signal are a cluster. I'm not to fimiliar with MIUI but I'm guessing it follows the same principle. Only the battery text can be moved to the right on its own. I may be wrong but that's how it was when I was running CM7.

Hi guys,
It looks absolutely awesome!!!!
Is it still a work in progress? or is it finished and the full thing is in a different thread?
Cheers guys
you could use custom status bar + in the play store . I use it all the time
i recently lost my Nexus S , which is completely died ... i think there is no other way to bring it back except replace the motherboard...because i have tried everything ... Linux Java, even the unbrickable hardware modification ... still no good.
so i decided instead of replace the motherboard, why don't i just buy the Galaxy Nexus ...
then i am having it now ...
i am trying to restore my previous setting such as wallpaper and something...
i have the wallpaper in my Nexus S's SDcard which is now totally inaccessible ...
i have been searching around here for an hour still can't find it ...
i just hope someone who has it and please give it to me ...thanks.
the wallpaper i am searching is , if i remember correctly .
-------------------------
in the middle there was red color i think , rightside is color like purple and blue, leftside is something like yellow or green ...
just some vertical , thick color "pillar" , nothing more
This?

Hi guys
I'm completely new to this forum and I hope that I didn't post my question in the wrong section, if so, please move it! Thanks in advance
Well 2 days ago I finally rooted my Galaxy S3 LTE (still running stock Android 4.1.2) and already managed to get a completely transparent statusbar.
Now I want to change certain Icons in the statusbar and want to make it look like the new iOS 7 statusbar.
In the attachments you find a screenshot of an iOS 7 Statusbar and my current one!
So basically I need to move the clock to the center, get a new battery icon (changed my current one with UOT-Kitchen already but somehow couldn't find any other decent icons for my needs) and maybe get rid of these two arrows of the Mobile Data Connection/WLAN or at least change their colors.
I hope you guys can help me and remember that I'm fairly new to all these root-things, so if you explain something, do it as easy as you can
Kind regards and sorry for my bad English

Hi,
I was using ClickUI for a long time but after a couple of weeks when I updated to latest android, I see some ClickUI icons wrong like they have red background. I don't think they would just ignore these icons but I uninstalled and reinstalled, it's still the same.
Anyone can tell me if it's only me, or not? And if not, how I can fix it. I really like this icon theme over rectangular ones.
Thanks.

hi
i have Note 5 N920g 64gb model and i was rooted but recently i faced an issue with a screen which will be visible in the screenshots below
whenever i try to set a black background with full brightness the colour kind of fades at top of the screen and there is no such issue when the same image is seen in gallery or any other app and this issue happened all of the sudden
i also talked to another note 5 owner having the similar issue.
things that i tried
-clearing cache of wallpaper picker
-reflashing stock rom using odin
please assist because i really think that its not a hardware issue but a software one so kindly requests all senior developers and xda members to help me out plz
this is the image with the issue

Ur Note 5 is badly damaged just throw it in the trash.... lol jk. It's the theme that u r using! It puts this effect there @ the homescreen otherwise u would see it in the gallery but u don't. And did u really think by providing a screenshot we could recreate a hardware defect on our devices? please use ur brain cells next time. And do me a favor and change ur signature there is no need for it to be that big and take so much space.

first of all if that would be a hardware defect i would see it in my gallery and also if u really use your eyes you would be able to see the difference in colour in the pic i have posted and no one is forcing you come all over here spread bull**** and as far as the signature goes you are free to scroll down

Anyhow u now know that it's ur theme that's causing this.
And ur Signature doesn't comply with the xda rules that's why I asked u to change it.
