odexed or deodexed ?

Open /SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml with Notepad++ and edit this line to get transparency you need, for example, 100% transparent:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00000000</item>
#00000000 - 100% transparency
#3F000000 - 75% transparency
#7F000000 - 50% transparency
#BF000000 - 25% transparency

Hi
... i need anybody who can help me to make a flashable 25% transparent status bar for my S3 mini
All flashable.zip from enox. and Benz in this Thread run Perfect !!!! :good:
but i cant see Header icons and clock in Playstore, Whatsapp and more.
THX

Hello everybody,
since i'm unable to do this by my own because of the missing modding skills, i want to ask if someone of the more experienced devs could make me two statusbars, the first one with the clock and provider name in blue like the other icons and the second one with the clock in the middle of the screen and clock+provider in blue like the other icons. I use farias latest ROM which isn't deodexed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074514).

No one, hm ok...:crying:
Is it because i'm a noob?

I think that you need to deodex it before that change. Black one didn't work for me untill I deodex with Frapeti's files. And I think that we can't use that now, because there were some changes in new fw, and we will go back to previous with some things. So deodex it, or wait to someone do that.

In that case, maybe better wait for some custom ROM, and custom recovery. You do not want to end up with soft bricked phone, and to reflash JB again... My friendly advice.
Main thing is to change SystemUI.apk, and this one is for deodexed system. Stock is odexed.
And bobfrantic did this. He put mine SystemUI.apk in root.zip, like he said in that post, and he flashed it in recovery. And he renamed stock SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apkold, and SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odexold.
P.S. And if you do not get anything - here it is in short. It is file that gives you black or transparent status bar. The one where clock, batery level, signal level are located. And it is for Jelly Bean, not for Gingerbread!

Just to correct you shut_down, I didn't put the systemui.apk in the root.zip. I only rooted my phone then used root explorer to put your transparent systemui.apk into the system/app after renaming the originals. it was easy but I wouldn't recommend this to a noob or unexperienced person for sure

Can't remember now, changed color in xml of SystemUI.apk. Search XDA with "change status bar color" And for icons, I think you need to change png's inside of SystemUI.
But did it look like the s4 statusbar?

I do not know how S4 statusbar looks. And in that time mod is made S4 didn't exist. It is just transparent instead of gray background. Same icons as on stock.

[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:

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

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
