Semi Transparent Action bar - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

Need a little help
Has anyone manage to get the action bar semi transparent
Ive tried many different methods with no joy.
Maybe an xml edit.
If anyone would like to help or just see it done add a comment.
Must be difficult! surprised no one has managed it. With all the awsome devs about!
THANK YOU!

do you mean de navigationbar at the bottem of the screen?
if so
i think(didnt take a look)
u got to decompile the systemUI.apk
and go to Layout
and search for statusbar or something like that
and search for the line
Android:background: #12438953( or something like that ) and make it
Android:background: #bb00000 for a bit transparent look
Hope this helped!?
if not let me know and i will see if i can have a look when i got time

Isn't it just black behind it, though?

Thanks

Thank You for the effort mate! i had this trouble back in the HD2 Days!
Only a live wallpaper would fit behind the bar! and had to find and edit the pngs to stop the date overlaping in the top corner! when you draged down the notifications.
Thanks Again!

[WIP] X10 Mini grey theme.

Hi there, after we've got root, we can finally customize our devices!
I've started creating a new (or better to say, editting default) theme. I'm not going to create a fully custom shiny theme with custom widgets design and so on. I just want to get rid of that ugly SE clinic-blue.
I don't have much free time, but i'm going to keep moving to the end )
Now it's about 40-50% ready. There are still a lot of blue, but it's usable. You can try it (as always, at your own risk )) ).
Just put the framework-res.apk into /system/framework/
P.S. I had to recover my device after i've putted framework-res.apk on it for the first time. I think, permissions must be changed to 755 before rebooting. After recover I always change permissions and have no problems )
(one more time: root is needed).
05.09.2010
Theme updated. I have mixed it with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759320
(look for install instructions!!!)
08.09.2010
Some less blue:
Phone.apk - Incomming call slider, mobile internet on/off icon
DownloadProvider.apk - Download icon
Blue Level = min )))
It's looking pretty nice man, although I'm not confident enough to install it
great job dude goodluck
Yes !
Keep on dude, you'll be the first one to make us a mini framework and so stay in our hearts...forever ;-)
Thx
I'm waiting for it! This blue makes me crazy.. (;
yay, gonna use it when it's 100% finished !
Yay, the blue theme it comes with is disgusting. It'd be even more awesome if you could make it look like the default android theme
Good work mate, well done! Its good to see some people are starting to get somewhere with these phones.
Thats a great improvement, but what about rest of icons ?
I'm sure many others will pickup this idea and make new themes, why not share info on what is where and how you've done this?
Thanks mate!
P.S. I really like new status bar icons, but background should be black like on SENSE-enabled
Could you port this theme please :

Yeah telling us how you're making the theme would be great, or even a link to where you learnt how to make themes.

Is it possibile to have an .apk "grey theme" file with blu original color as background of notification bar? (only this).
So, I like grey, but in this upper bar I think blu is better
Thanks!
PS: great the battery icons that change its colors depending of battery status
Hi dopeless, have you finish this grey theme. I love this grey theme but could you use the icon set with transparent background. It's must be more beautiful with transparent background icons.
Thanks in advance.

Any update on this theme's progress?
Sorry, guys, I was really busy all this time.
Now I have mixed my theme with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759320
It seems to be ok now. There is minimum of blue, but it comes not from framework-res file. I'll try to fix it later.
Off-topic question. how do you get the 4 shortcuts in you dock, I can only seem to get 2?
Ignore me, I've done it!
P.S. Great theme!

Willing to Pay :)

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.
Edit: Signature Changed

Shouldn't be hard i'll give it a whirl tonight if I have time and post results.
Maybe take a look at
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7bar
Free version:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7barfree
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.
@Boobie Watcher
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 know.there has to.be a way to make it.transparent. just how lol.

Yea, I always seem to have to do a lot of tweaking to get MIUI to my liking as well, but once i do its dope. I'm sure there is a way I just haven't figured it out yet.....When you do make sure you hit me up !
There is this theme writer on the i-9100 side that has made some but every time i flashed to a hellraised criskelo rom it was a no go i got nothin but he might have some answers just a though.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Yeah, I am comparing the i9100 statusbar.apk for the change to the i777 version we have. I am sure I will find it eventually but was hoping someone with some in-depth theming experience would know the answer lol.

[Q] Black statusbar

How can I get a totally black statusbar?
Have been looking around, but I cant find out how.
I'm using Foxhound 1.5, which it my favorite, but I hate the transparent statusbar.
When dragging it down, the icons in the back is too visible, which is not how i like it.
Anybody know how to do it or have a link for a mod with a black statusbar?
Thanks

Sorry, my bad
Found it right after I posted it. Got a little confused.
Thanks anyway
[SOLVED]
Ok, so I tried to black out my statusbar,which worked fine on 4.1.1, but now that I'm on 4.1.2 I cant get it to work.
Using Foxhound 1.6 now, and was on 1.4 when everything worked
Have been trying themes from motomoto and raubkatze, but everytime I use a theme that may black out my statusbar I get no theme or SystemUI FCs.
The actual theme and everything else works fine, but the statusbar will not get black.
Has also flashed a theme that contains a black statusbar, but its still transparent
Anyone got a clue?
EDIT: Never mind.. Figured it out!

[REQ] S6 Notification Bar for S5

Hello Guys!,
I'm searching for an Notification Bar, which looks exactly like the S6 one (because the design is more modern without black edges and the more quadratic S-Finder Buttons)
Is there one available yet or would someone of you experts in this community maybe like to port it? I (and a lot of other people too! ) would really appreciate that
Thanks in advance for help
I found a rom that had this notification panel line s6 has. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/galaxy-project-galaxy-s5-t3138583 here is the link (its a rom) if you liked it rep him
Put these apks in system/vendor/overlay the set permissions and it will remove gap plus give you s6 like notification pulldown. NOT MY WORK all credit to AL_IRAQI for his awesome mods.
Remove gap- https://basketbuild.com/dl/devs?dl=AL_IRAQI/Layers TW/Remove-Notification-Gap.apk

Oh I'm not sure why it would still look like s5. Maybe not much of a difference. If you really don't like the look AL_IRAQI has spent a bunch of time making some really awesome themes for us. Check them out m8

This theme is looking like if a 10 years old did it.
Why the bright colors, with no match to other aesthetic UI elements? Wanna make a theme? Have some inspiration from other themes. You've to keep a consistent UI through the whole theme.

Try settings and all backgrounds of 'arc dark' colour and accent colour of 'cyan' colour.
Primary colour of dark 'blue grey' colour.
Make status bar as you like.
I think the theme is gonna look cool.
Try it and post here.
If possible add aosp icons every where like settings and status bar and quick settings.
Okay so basically make the settings black, am I correct?

No, arc dark is something like blue see the pallette.
It is a full material setup.
