Ok, I am done pulling my hair out so maybe I can pay someone else to do this for me lol.
I want a Transparent Status Bar exlcluding the Clock / Battery .. All I want is Notificatons on left hand side and Signal/Wifi on the right hand side.
I have been trying to change framework to make it work but however all I can manage to do is either make it completely dissapear or change the color. I thought that I could atleast hide the notifications by making the battery and clock display transparent but when I do that it off centers the wifi/signal bars and just doesn't look right.
I however have not been succesfull at making the Bar itself transparent.
So, to sum it up. I will pay for someone to do this for me or willing to accept any and all pointers on how to accomplish this myself.
Systemui controls expanded status bar and everything except the battery. In systemui goto res/layout/ you can set dip of items to say 0.9999999 to hide it. Also colors.xml in res/values/
Running ICScrewD ROM
So you want a transparent status bar with only notifications and wifi/signal without the clock on the right?
How much $$$?
u in the right forum bro?
@Thegodfather
Yeah, I would think this is the right forum as its a Theme request.
@Ssconceptz
Yes, transparent Notification Bar with just the notifications on the left and Wifi/Signal Icons on the right. No battery Icon or Clock.
@Alucardis
Depends on how greedy you are lol. I don't mind paying for someones work but I am not rich either lol.

Ill look into it but I heard the transparent bar doesnt work on the home screen of TouchWiz so this may be your issue. I am looking to remove the AM/PM as in ICS so I can probably test this too.

The OP's sig says skyrocket, I believe that is what he is referring to. If you figure out the AM/PM thing that'd be awesome! I've been trying but no dice at the moment, it seems the usual files that are changed have been moved...
@ Thegodfather
Sorry bout my signature. I did have the Skyrocket for a few days but took it back due to it being a major annoyance. The new APN's they use for the LTE Data plan is stupid and gave me more data issues then I care to touch on.
Will update as soon as I get out of this reply
@ Ssconceptz
I don't use TWiz currently do to this issue haha. I am using ADWEx because I can totaly hide the Status Bar but I don't care for doing that tbh. I played with Launcher 7 and its statusbar replacement but couldnt get it to work right after pulling things apart so trashed that project. I dug into some MIUI Framework but I can't even start to compare what they changed.
Is there a way to replace the StatusBar.apk from system with a customized version without it breaking somehting else.

Maybe take a look at

Just what a quick google search brought up
The problem with WP7 bar is it is just overlay and doesnt actually replace the stock status bar and it actually uses a bit of battery. This is the reason I want the stock status bar modified.

If I were you...I would flash MIUI, then d/l extended mod settings, flash it and you can swich the statusbar layout and it will be transparent....if your sold on having touchwiz i dont think it is going to happen for u. Everytime i tried i could never get it transparent. So im on miui....plenty of great themes too.

I don't like MIUI. I don't know what it is I end up doing but I always have terrible battery life and it just seems buggy.

I've been wanting something like this that we can flash over any of the latest Cm7 versions with the status bar softkeys (from mad-murdock).
So I just threw one together myself.
This is a CWM zip file that you can flash with clockworkmod and will replace the soft key icons in CM7 with the honeycomb ones.
Thanks to:
The Cm7 Team
Phiredrop for his phiremod cm7 stuff
nfcrockett for uploading the icons from the SDK.
coldboot for inspiration
Please Note: This does not work on the current batch of nightlies, and I will not update this particular mod until there is another cm7 final release.
If you wish to do so yourself, feel free to use the icons from the apk

Worked fine on my nook.
Changelog:
4/18 Gtab/Vega Users update: The Gtab/Vega version should now properly install on Gtabs and the Vega - I have not been able to test this (and the guys in the Gtab IRC were less than helpful) So I need some feedback on this.
4/15 Phiremod Edition:[/B] This should be able to seamlessly flash over phiremod without losing any of his themed elements in the notification bar. Big thanks to phiredrop!
4/13 v1.3: Changed the notification pulldown shade to be darker (less transparent) for people having issues with it.
4/11 v1.2: Made a new search Icon from scratch - let me know what you guys think!
4/11: Top should now be working, I also edited the search button background to match the rest of them. I had forgotten about it, because I dont use it. I'll try to whip up a more honeycomb-esque looking one later.
Feedback is welcome/appreciated. Screenshot attached.
looks good mate. cheers!
It does look really good.
I use status bar on top alot, especially when using nesoid, or when my daughter is playing on it. So if you would like to make a version that changes the icons in both modes, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, yeah I'll update it to work on top as well. Should be up later tonight when I get home from work.

Looks great, but i do see one oddity - the search icon is noticably lighter in background than the rest of the icons.. almost like search was in a selected state. Its not, but it looks a bit wierd. if you could fix that, this would be perfect!

Great job, thanks for making the changes thus far, the icons look really good. I especially like that the icons have no background image and they are just "in" the status bar. It looks alot cleaner that way imho.
Very nice work! I like using the "Cyanabread" theme and having the "green" in the Notification icon kinda throws things off from an aesthetics perspective. I would like to have the icons bigger, like when I was running HC, but that is a CM7 thing, I think.

They can be made bigger. They ended up coming out a little small when I was resizing them. Personally I like them how they are though.
Thanks for this man. I think personally it goes better then the stock buttons, because they look built-in, instead of just literal buttons. No offense to the stock button designer!
Well...As you guys see, many icons of the leaked rom has a bad resolution, also, the connectivity icon need a redesign completely, can anyone remake those icons better?

that actually doesn't address any of them. all the icons and status icons are not sharp on this build, and the statusbar fix doesn't change that.
I can try my best and once i've read up on how to change them, I'll start working on it soon, but I have to say that I feel a lot of people are more worried about the other stuff like front-facing camera and the fingerprint scanner, and so stuff like this isn't really bothering them. any icons you wanna request first?
oh, and I can't guarantee that i'll be working on it when the official GB comes out (so excited!! =D) but i'll work as fast as i can and if anything, try to get at least some of the stock icons a bit better. =]
~jojojohnson7410~
-EDIT- after about a 2 second research on google and from some past knowledge, it seems ADW Launcher seems to be the way to go. Any other launcher?
I'll keep researching and working to get the ones for stock launcher if i can.
-EDIT2- found it. lol that didn't take long. Okay, the good thing is that it looks to be a simple edit to the apks, which shouldn't be too bad. the bad news? Don't know how great I am with Photoshop (been a while). Will try to brush up if anything, and then get to it =] Sorry if this takes me forever cause this will be my first mod.

Ok, maybe I am missing something here......but the status icons are in the status bar fix, right? That fix replaced the status icon which is what the OP complained about. As far as the app comment, what apps? Mine look fine so I don't know what he is talking about. Not being sarcastic here.....I just do not see the same issue.

wait....question before i do start on this little project. The answer to this question will determine if i go for a theme here (if i have time >.< time seems so fleeting nowadays) or if i take this up as a legit project.
Did you change the default ppi settings in the build.prop?
I'm sorry if its a stupid question, but I just wanted to clarify. If you don't know what I'm talking about, its the section where they allow you to change the density of your screen. Apparently, GB has it set to 240 ppi when our screens are 275 ppi and I do remember vaguely having this problem. As i thought more and more about your request, it seems this is more an issue of your screen clarity as oppose to the icon clarity, as the icons can only go max 48x48 pixels for apps (as i believe) and all of the icons, at least from stock at the very least, should be at max.
So, if you didn't yet, try editing the build.prop and changing the 240 to 275. Suggest you use Root Explorer =] and if you still feel its not that clear, reply back or pm me and i'll see what I can do to fix it.
~jojojojohnson7410
he's talking about the icons and app icons. if you look at all of them, they appear to have been scaled-up images of smaller icons and so they have a slight amount of blur/aliasing in them and they are not 100% "sharp" images with corners and such as you saw in the stock builds. this is partially why the LCD density and such is off on the stock moto launcher.
I am using go launcher and am not having any issues with the app icons, and the link above fixes the connection icons.
Anybody figure out how to remove the clock or should i just try this?

Really interesting...i like having the small clock there versus having a large clock on the home page..too much room and doesn't look very clean...however, thats pretty sweet that it can be done.

Make sure you are deodexed before doing this. The Atrix runs a different version of Motoblur than the Photon does so make sure you have backed up as there is a not so small chance it will screw up your phone.
Let us know if it works though (if you decide to try it).
If you get rid of the systemui.apk you'll get rid of the clock.....and your whole notification bar
Good luck with the baksmali edits gives me cold chills lol
+100 to no notification bar!!! Hahahaha. I wouldn't do that. And I agree, the big clock on the home screen is ugly, so I do prefer the one in the notification bar.
I would actually like to remove the battery icon next to the clock, as I use a different (better) program and don't need two of them. There was an easy way on the old Evo. Anyone figured that out yet? If so, is rooted enough, or have to be unlocked?
Wad A Orange!
HUGE UPDATE!
I fixed a lot of images, no more pixelation

But I'm personally a red-colored guy, and this orange theme is closest to red, so I think I might like this. I'm not nearly dedicated enough to make it myself, this should be pretty good though I'll report back after I flash it, probably tomorrow. Still at school now

Reverts are just useful, has nothing to do with disliking the theme.
This is a great theme. Very nice shade of orange.
-I really like the pull down notification bar: perfect tinting and crisply colored icons.
-The circle on the pulldown looks a little pixelated. I'm a big fan of CM7's "Basic Orange" pulldown with 3 crisp lines.
https://lh5.ggpht.com/Y20P9I2aLyRD_QXfFodFg1QJe9ofgScfpkkRN_-Ykxs7zT4OZ8nbgUlG-1uyZ9R1zw=h230
-There might be a little too much orange on the top status bar: I like orange icons, but the time and the date should just remain a light grey.
- The Wifi icon also has a pixelated look to it when it's not at full signal-- it makes it look a little cartoony, as if it's bold or something.
- menu button pop up on the main screen has a very nice crisp orange line along the top. This is really slick. I like it.
-Themed settings icons are very nice
-Orange 'g' on the google search bar looks a little goofy. I'd leave this unthemed. Although it's a moot point with the updated search bar...
-The one thing I really don't like is that the settings sections of many apps have buttons that are turned completely orange and this rarely looks good. Even the orange checkboxes look bad more often than good in this fashion. I recommend turning this off unless people really like it. A good orange theme can be nuanced.
This orange theme is one of the best considering it doesn't try to go nuts turning all the app icons orange.
Thanks for the feedback. This is helping me alot for the next release. It is ALOT better than the older versions and is way more discrete. I hope to have it out by sometime tomorrow.

Update fixed the overly orange boxes and checkboxes within apps.
However, there are two things I miss:
1. the crisp orange outline of the menu screen when on the homepage and pressing menu (using ADW or launcherpro).
2. Also the orange wifi and signal bars, bluetooth icon. The orange was good here but it just looked cartoony at some points but great when full bars. Can you add these back?
The new notification pulldown handle with orange rectangle is better than the pixelated circle, but what do you think about doing 3 crisp glowing lines like basic orange?
Or what about a glowing rectangle outline-- that might be pretty cool. Let me know what you think.

Hi, thanks for choosing Themer! As you know it's still in beta, so a transparent navigation bar as well as many other features will arrive soon. The transparent bar however might be a bit tricky though, as of right now if we make it transparent, there will just be a black bar at the bottom of the theme. This will mean redoing almost all the themes. That being said, it doesn't mean we aren't going to do it, it will just take some time
Thanks for the response. It isn't much of a bother just me getting used to kit kat a bit lol. I look forward to the updates and keep up the good work.
