Hi all, I have a galaxy s2 and am working on themes for ICS. I just can't figure out how to make the notification pull down bar semi-transparent. Can someone please help me out or point me in the direction of a tutorial?
Thanks

Not everyone has ics to help you. Plus are you working from source? Smali? What have you already tried? Are you getting any errors?

I wasn't sure if it involved the same process as gingerbread. I've tried editing the PNG in the framework-res.apk and making it a semi transparent image but once flashed, the status bar is just the same as always. Do I need to edit an XML file? Thank you for your reply

The pull down is not in the framework Res. Its in the systemui apk. It can also be done by editing the xmls for status bar expanded

Here is the systemui apk
from Myns Warm ROM. But you can edit any ROM with a method ill hopefully put up soon.
I think the clock is the fusion.apk...unless your talking about the lockscreen.
No at the stat bar. I never even thought about that. Ill try it and report. I wanna make a simple method for people who like it minimal and without messing the overscroll and animations

Thought you might be having a bit Same coding in the systemui.apk
Tried it on my htc wildfire s but gave errors while recompilling
You guys try it and tell if it works for you.

Wont work on DDKQ8,but someone could do it anyway,who knows Btw,the above mentioned link gives you the value edit to get transparent status bar by editing a value in smali which i was talking about before.However,it DOES work on CM..If you are in need of transparent status bar that badly guys,then check out one of wonokairen's ( I always spell it wrong) theme,it is the only theme that enables transparency in stock roms.As far as i know,TW does not support status bar transparency which is why you guys are facing difficultues.

Does anyone know where the png files are for the notification bar?
In gb It used to be in systemUI.apk but i cant seem to see any images that i changed last time in ics.
This is what i did in gb (ported rajaspideys ios notification) to gnote and would like to do the same in ics. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry i wasnt very specific. Attached is a screen shot of what i did in gb. I did this by using the universal theme flasher and swapping the pictures in the systemui in drawable xhdpi. I would like to do this in ics but the same images dont seem to be there in ics systemui.

ICS has changed how it is handled. Now it is a color code and not an image. You can make it an image by redirecting the XML files to point to an image instead as I have done.

Ahhh right.
Did you use apktool to decompile?
Any guides on doing this?

yes but you will need 2 version of apktool to do it. One to decompile and another to compile ICS. Then in the layout folder of the system ui you will need to change the xmls for the status bar to android:drawable/status_bar which is in the framework-res apk. You will also need to change the XML in the system UI folder. There is no guide. I found it by trial and error to be honest. A lot of ICS uses color hex codes instead of images now but thankfully they left the unused images in the framework-res folder

Ok thanks for your help though.

Check the layout folder in system UI for the status bar expanded. It will tell you what the background it. It might be a color hex code

Ok thanks ill look. I dont think itll be a hex code because its not just one colour. It has a pattern on it. Unless hex codes can do that If so please disregard my stupidness lol

They can do graidents now in ICS. If you have trouble upload your decompiled systemui apk and I'll have a look. ICS changed a whole lot

Ill upload systemui when im at a pc
What ive done so far is.
add android:background @drawable/pulldown to statusbartracking.xml
created pulldown.xml in drawable and added image pulldown to drawable-hdpi
I used the correct syntax in the actual files but still nothing.
Does that sound like something you did?

Google is your friend:
http://mobilecon.info/transparant-status-bar-in-android.html
So using this dirty tutorial, make the .png files transparent yourself and place back in the apk then reflash or find the equivalent files in say the Miui framework-res.apk file, extract them, then add them to your stock framework-res.apk file using 7zip/winrar etc and flash/copy back.
Will take you 5 mins and teach you much about theming any aspect of your framework with out having to recompile applications.

Yes, tried it but doesn't work that way on Xperia. Seems that systemui has something to do with it.
Also tried the files from MIUI Rom, didn't work either.
Ah, crap.
I've heard of ways to do it on Gingerbread but not on ICS.
I've noticed using Miui and having a clear status bar but then using another launcher causes the status bar to go black.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
It's not just changing some pngs, there is smali edits and some value edits to drawables.xml. I made it for CM9, but I did not manage to edit incoming notification color, so it did not look so nice. (notification_header_bg in drawables.xml. I guess it needs a smali edit, but I did not find it..). And in stock Sony firmware the mod messes up the whole statusbar.
so until now there is no Transparant Status Bar for XS , right ?
i miss my transparant status bar on my ray ... :crying: :crying:

Yes it is, in MIUI Rom. But I totally don't like MIUI.
How does MIUI get clear status bar even when an ICS build? What's so special about MIUI?
