Hi all developers :laugh:
I'm trying to search for mods for transparent status bar for galaxy s advance stock rom, 4.1.2 (odexed).
Is there any way to modify it ?
When i try to edit build.prop or system ui, it seems like our GSA are slightly different from previous edits
any better ideas ?
Thanks in advance

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.

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

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

Is anyone aware of a System UI mod to add battery percentage to the indicator for the First, without the need to install a secondary app?
Thank you. --Larry

A quick update:
Found the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store which does a very good job. Along with a large selection of some easy to use pull-down switches in the Notification Bar is a battery icon showing %. Actually very nice.
However, not being exactly what I was looking for I tried to use the OG Battery Icon Mod from XDA with my (mostly) stock (Odexed) ROM. It was unsuccessful.
Thinking it might be a problem with the Odexed ROM, I flashed CWM Recovery to replace my previous TWRP Recovery (for some reason the DeOdexed ROM des not flash with TWRP) and then flashed JMZ's DeOdexed v1.08 ROM. Unfortunately, I ended up the same failure when running the OGBattery Mod Tool (the tool was unable to download the systemui.apk).
Therefore, so far I am unable to make the UI modification, but am pleased to find the Notification Toggle App -- and with some help from Titanium Backup my phone is back where I wanted it, now running a DeOdexed ROM. I went back to TWRP Recovery. I have CWM on my A500 tablet, but TWRP just seems easier on the First.

You can use UOT kitchen. Just Google it. If you feel adventurous you can download my sense ROM and pull the diff battery mods I have there and push them to your device. All you need is systemui.apk. but this will only work if you are on a deodex ro.

Feeling adventurous, I downloaded your sense ROM & extracted it. In systemui.apk I see there are two (apparently duplicated) res folders and the sub-folders/files in res are also duplicated. Is this an error in the build or necessary as place-holders of sone kind. I thought I might try to replace the res folder in the deodexed ROM with this one, but it concerned me.

Thank you for the response. I couldn't figure out how to attach here, so I posted a screenshot of the extracted systemui.apk from your Sense ROM at dev-host: http://d-h.st/VOr
Note that there are duplicate res folders. Also, in the res folders many of the sub-folders and: files also have duplicates, prompting my question. --Larry

@jmk : After the confusion (to me) I tried a couple of more things:
1. Replaced systemui.apk in stock ROM with the systemui.apk from your Sense ROM. That did give me a Sense horizontal battery with %, but was too small to see. I was hoping for the percent circle.
2. I used UOT Kitchen to attempt to make the modifcation, but Kitchen returned a SHTF error, so no results yet.
Success!
I loaded & set up JMZ's Sense ROM with the icons I wanted, then copied systemUI.apk to the sdcard. After restoring my "stock" ROM I renamed the systemUI.apk in /system, then copied the one from the sdcard to /system & reset the permissions. I now have my desired battery icons!
@ jMZ: Thank you for the guidance. --Larry
For Xperia Z JB 4.2.2
Mods have been updated to replace only the png files of the signal status and battery in your systemui.apk instead of replacing the whole file. This will prevent any incompatibility problems that a few experienced before due to the different framework between stock and custom roms.
Would like to give credit to Drummerjed for kindly offering his help in fixing the files. You can check out his boot animation here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391604&nocache=1.
3 Different mods:
One with IOS7 Signal status and BLUE Honami battery, GREEN Honami battery and WHITE Honami Battery.
As always, please make a backup of your rom before flashing zips.
Based on post by LitoNi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409210) but has 3 soft-key buttons instead of 5.

For those of you who want 3 soft-keys.
* IOS style signal status
* Blue battery (Green when charging)
* Soft-keys same as on Honami rom (3 standard buttons, Slightly smaller than stock.... I think it's either 32ppi or 36ppi).
Sorry, but don't have extra time for requests. Just thought others might be interested so posting.

Try wiping dalvik cache. It will reset your wallpaper but you can always change it back.
If all else fails you can extract systemui.apk and copy it manually via root explorer or something and change permissions. If your phone resets automatically make sure you fix permissions in recovery before it reboots.

I did it (moved to system, added permissions, moved to system/app), them I wiped cache and dalvic. When phone turned on, there were no statusbar or navbar. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe it's only for Honami framework?

Just confirming t's not a typo but it should be under /system/app/
If doing manually, permissions to be changed after it's been copied to directory by file manager or recovery.
Also, I assume that your on JB 4.2.2?
Should work for both the latest updates .423 & .244. Honami is based on stock so shouldn't be an issue if your not using the Honami rom.
I'm guessing you need to correctly set permissions if copying manually. It should be: -rw -r -r (just check other apps in /system/app folder).

Thanks for correcting me.
No way of doing so: if you move directly to system/app, phone will shut down immediately. After changing permissions in system folder it will stay if you move it to subfolder. I was doing so with every manually installing mod.
And yes, I'm on latest firmware by RomAur (based on 244)
I'm pretty sure that I gave rw r r permissions (644), but I'll try again.

Hmmm, that's wierd. I tested it on Honami rom and backup of latest stock firmware and works fine.
Not sure if it would make a difference but you could try fix permissions and wipe dalvik cache in recovery?
Alright I do not have odex working according to ArchEnemy', which is where I modded his version.
As of now, I cannot get center clock to work with 3 navi keys, only 5 keys. Ive tried editing the basic status bar file but I might be editing the wrong one, therefore im waiting for his reply to and hopefully to get it working with 3 navi keys.
If anyone who cant wait and doesnt mind the 5 navi keys (ive made the power key and the menu key invisible, it is still there, you just cant see it), you can try flashing the file below. Remember to back up your rom fully, just in case anything happens.
