Is there any transparent notification bar metamorphs out there?
I think this might be what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768628
If you only want the status bar and not the font and apps and what not, just run the framework-res part. Let me know if you need help. Enjoy.
I did see that but couldnt tell if the notification bar was transparent or not.
Thank you
Yeah i flashed it and its nice and looks great, But i still want something with a completely transparent bar.
Tried that the first run, and it looked great when using LP+ and having the status bar hidden. When you would hit the notification button, it would pop down and you would only see the icons/letters/numbers etc, but otherwise it just shows up as a blank-black area. Something to do with that space is allotted
for the status bar and you don't really get it back, just because it's transparent. There might be a way around it, but not really sure yet. If you wanna try it, this was the first run of Transparent Chaos:

Yeah I've been looking for the same thing for a few weeks. They can't do it on the eris yet though because of something with rosie and it not taking the background all the way up to the top so it would always look black anyway.

I think it's LP+ that doesn't allow the transparency because it just shows black behind the bar. I've heard that it works with ADW Launcher because of an option it has, I haven't tried it though because I prefer LP.
I'm pretty sure that's not it. I just tried it, and got the same results as LP+.
Does someone know of a way to remove the status bar toggles? Is there a file to modify in systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk?
yes there is a way unfortunate im not that skilled
I'm listening... I'd love to get rid of the mobile data toggle. The others are useful, that one isn't.
I hope there is someone out there knowing the answer as I like to use my own toggles app and having two of them doesn't look goog at all.
Also I saw this screenshot showing a blue clock in the expanded notification bar and would like to know what to modify to change the color of the clock and the date? (this came from a Mod which included the toggles, I would only need the file and passage to edit for changing the color)
Any help is appreciated.
Hi guys, if you're seldom confused about whether it's night or morning, you might like this mod! It removes the AM/PM text from the statusbar clock when it's in 12-hour format. 24-hour clock folks obviously have no AM/PM indicator anyway, so you need not mess with this.
This mod alters framework-res.apk, which means it conflicts with burningmembers' small navbar mod. I really like the small navbar, so I've packed up a few different versions of this clock mod.
StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM.zip doesn't mess with the size of the nav bar, just removes the AM/PM text.
StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM-med-navbar_v0.2.zip comes with the medium sized navbar.
StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM-tiny-navbar.zip comes with the tiny navbar.
To revert, you can use the revert zip in burningmembers' thread.
AT&T
If you've got an AT&T device, please check out this AT&T thread.
Technical details:
For interested devs, this was a pretty simple one. The statusbar clock uses the value of the "twelve_hour_time_format" string resource in framework-res as the format string for a SimpleDateFormat. The default is "h:mm a". I just did a global search and replace to change all instances of "h:mm a" to "h:mm" (without the quotes). You have to do a global replace (i.e., "Replace all in files" in notepad++), so that you get all the various localizations. After recompiling, be sure to copy over the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from the original apk into the modified apk, or you'll get boot loops.

Aw man, I must have done something wrong when packaging it... I'll see if I can figure it out real quick and fix it.

Sorry about that. I fixed it and edited the OP to link to it. Got lost in the shuffle, I guess.
There we go! Excellent work
can you help with modding the status bar to look like AOSP? I've got the decompiling/recompiling thing down, but not sure what xmls to edit or how.
Thanks!
Edit: I didn't read your complete post....
Great mod. I am on clean rom and not trying to do too much in the way of mods. This is a good one. That status bar is way to cluttered. Just flashed and it worked fine. Thanks!! :good:
Nice. I just moved the clock to the right on mine so the AM/PM appears off screen. This is probably better.
Of course if you put your clock in military time (24 hour) , there is no AM/PM .
Simple and all I wanted, but anyway to get rid of that pesky e911/location icon? Not sure anybody wants that there!
Any chance this works on D801

I have Verizon G2. rooted... The hide am/pm with Tiny nav bar zip is not working.Trying with CWM and it gets an error that it can't install. please Don't tell me the that hide am/pm with Tiny Zip is only for TWRP? But the hide am/pm with no nav bar edit is only for both? that would suck.....Because If i do the hide am/pm with no nav bar edit zip in CWM, that works.. Please help. I need this combo to work.
Hi guys, I've made a few more mods to declutter the stausbar a bit and remove the carrier labels from the Lock Screen and the notification panel. I've also fixed a few bugs in the recent apps mod that I'll be posting to that thread soon.
Bugfixes to recent apps:
You no longer need to reboot your phone after changing the position of the recent apps key.
The recent apps key now rotates properly in the camera app.
Here's what's on offer in this post:
Black Status Bar
Replaces pink navbar theme with solid black
Removes carrier label from lockscreen and notification shade
GPS and headset icons are totally removed (no gap in status bar from transparent icons)
Mobile data icon (4g, 3g, etc) is removed when WiFi is connected
Also, the linked thumbnails show a couple things that are in separate posts:
NFC statusbar icon is disabled
Clock in status bar no longer displays AM/PM text in 12-hour mode
Follow the links below to hide the NFC icon and/or change the statusbar clock:
Hide NFC Icon: Verizon (AT&T to come soon, PM me if you can help me re-odex it)
Remove AM/PM from statusbar: Verizon, AT&T
All the other mods are bundled together, however, I'm packaging up a few different versions so you can choose how the soft keys behave.
To install, pick the zip you want and install using TWRP.
DeclutterStockMenuKeys.zip will not change the behavior of the navigation bar, although it will still replace the pink theme with a solid black one. You still have the stock key layout: Back, Home, Menu, Notification Toggle, with long-press on home for recent apps.
DeclutterMenuToRecents.zip will replace the menu key with recent apps, with long-press on home for menu. This gets you Back, Home, Recent Apps, Notification Toggle, with long-press on home for Menu.
DeclutterNotificationToRecents.zip will replace the notification toggle key with recent apps, and will not change the long-press behavior of the home button. This gives you the following four buttons: Back, Home, Menu, Recents. Long-press home will still bring up Recent Apps.
If you want the Action Bar overflow menu with the three dots, you'll need to flash VerticalEllipsis.zip in addition to whatever you choose above.
With thanks to burningmembers for the small navbar (love that mod!) and 777jon for the black status bar and navbar themes. Also big thanks to scrosler for CleanROM, which kicks ass, and the whole xda community for the excellent resources.
Lock screen got changed to the stock android one and its hard to see. Any way you can include the regular lock screen without the carrier label?

So DeclutterStockMenuKeys.zip has:
Black Status Bar
Replaces pink navbar theme with solid black
Removes carrier label from lockscreen and notification shade
GPS and headset icons are totally removed (no gap in status bar from transparent icons)
Mobile data icon (4g, 3g, etc) is removed when WiFi is connected
Sorry if I am just being dense.

In fact can you do a flash mod with just the stuff quoted. And maybe a returned to stock zip also.
Thanks.

Went ahead and flashed it - answer is no.
Kept everything the same and now I have a much less cluttered status bar. The development already is amazing.
Thanks so much. Where can I donate?

I don't have transparent nav bar so not sure, BUT I do have Medium height nav bar and it stayed after the flash so I have to assume this mod doesn't do anything to touch the height of it?
Just a guess though.
If u tick ths transparent setting in front touch buttons does the nav bar go transparent? I understand if you don't want to be my tester

Oh you meant stock launcher - yes it's still transparent. See below - ignore rounded corners that's due to Roundr.

Yeah, everything you listed is common to all the Declutter zips. The only difference between them is how they modify the soft keys in the navigation bar.

In the lock screen settings, there's an entry called "Shortcuts" that only appears when your unlock method is set to swipe. You can then tap on an icon to change the app.

Works as advertised, I was having issues with another MOD doing similar things, thank you very much for sharing. It is functioning a little bit more like my GNex.
Are you/would you be interested in looking at adding Transparent Status Bar and Navigation to third party Launchers? You can find Jishnu Sur's thread here, at the bottom he has the code to allow this for other launchers.
Thanks for an awesome set of MODs!
by removing the gps and headphone icons, does this mean when I'm on GPS, it won't show in the status bar anymore so there is no way to know if gps is on unless you look at the settings?
OMG! I think I luv you....thank you so much for this! Can you also make the Bluetooth icon go away when not being used?

any way you can post a tutorial? I'm still learning this stuff, and I just did your am/pm mod myself! I'd like to get an AOSP status bar going and need help with positioning, etc. Thanks!

hi all,
I am hoping someone can help me with a fairly simple request....
I use gesture control on my phone rather than navbar however every mod that disables navbar disables my status bar too.
I still use my status bar and notifications drop down a lot so this is a problem.
I currently use miui v2.1 and the closest answer I came across is using mi tools to drop DPI of navbar to 26.
Can someone please explain how this mod works?
I'm thinking if I reduce the DPI further to say like 1 DPI it will still have the desired effect of keeping the status bar.
Or if its not difficult could someone make a flashable mod?

Just answered my own question so request is no longer needed.
For anyone wanting to know, edit your build.prop file and add the following on the end.
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
The space between mainkeys and =, as well as the space between = and 1 is important. Save build.prop then reboot phone with navbar gone.
