[MOD]Clear Status Bar [for SAUROM_RC4][CWM] - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Clear status bar mod for SAUROM Rom
Backup your current framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk before flashing just in case.
Also included my Wallpaper apk which takes the hassle out of resizing... although it won't fix our NON-scrollable wallpaper issues. [Edit] Wallpaper scrolling is now fixed, thanks DAGr8 (see SAUROM Roms)

The attached zip will give you Saurom's RC4 Rom framework and systemUI. All I did was make the status bar transparent. If you've themed it will overwrite your systemUI and framework back to Sauroms RC4 Rom. If you supply your framework-res.apk and your SystemUI.apk I can probably make yours transparent as well.

I would need a deodexed stock systemUI.apk in order to do that

I have been doing some tweaking to the graphics in my own systemui and framework files for Saurom RC4. Instead of uploading my files, can you identify the image files from your archive that I need to add to mine in order to achive the transparent status bar?

SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi --> statusbar_background.9.png
And depending if you want or don't want the title bar shadow effect:
title_bar_shadow.9.png In both your SystemUI (same location as above) & Framework/res/drawable-hdpi & xhdpi
You must still decompile your SystemUI classes.dex via baksmali/smali in order to change some code in the StatusBarService.smali
and also decompile the SystemUI in order to edit the status_bar.xml
*Also in a side note I forgot to mention this in the OP, I'm pretty sure it must be run using a 3rd party launcher... I use ADW_ex and works perfect.

---

Image swapping I can handle but the smali editing is beyond me at this point. So if your offer still stands I'd like to send you my files to see what you can do (having trouble attaching to this post). And I do primarilly use go launcher.

Yeah I'll give it a shot. Which Rom are you using, I'll get the files

---

Correct me if I'm wrong but and theme changes from another theme for the systemui and framework, I can swap them(basic images and icons) from there to this one and it should still work?

I think I understood....
you can do anything you wish to the apk's as far as themeing goes because the edits have already been done. So all you have to do is replace whatever images you want for your theme.
Just keep in mind not to replace the statusbar_background.9.png in the res/drawable-hdpi folder.

---

I too am on Saurom 4 so I guess I'll just take your base and re-do my theming changes to it, unless of course you have the same edits ready for Saurom 6
edit: I applied your posted package for a pre-test. I get transparent status bar in lock screen and notifications, but not on the desktop (be it twiz or go launcher). This is the same as I had on other captivate / SGS2 roms which attempted transparent status bar - could not get it working across the board.
Does it work on all three for you?

---

I have the same result. Lock screen works, but home screen is still the default one. I am on the RCVI version of Saurom. Maybe thats why?

---

Can you see about getting this working for the latest 3.2 version of saurom transfuzion theme please? definitely want a transparent topbar.

The first version i made of transfuzion (for saurom) actually had a clear status bar. It looks pretty good but only on dark backgrounds, so i took it out.

Maybe you can check what differences he has in this to make bright images look good, I love your theme and this definitely would be a great addition, but that's just my opinion

OK, did some investigating...
I tried Golauncher & LauncherPro and it doesn't seem to be working on those launchers. I couldn't find any settings in their preferences either for a 'wallpaper hack' similar to ADW_ex. I prefer and use ADW_ex and has always worked perfect. I'm pretty sure in the past on other devices this mod worked but guess not for the note... So sorry I'll update the OP that it only works on ADW launcher. Sorry for the confusion
When it shows up on the lockscreen then you know its working... but unfortunately some launchers blow it up

that's sad to hear in my part since I'm a Go Launcher EX user.

---

Yes definitely a downer. I have a valid ADW license but do not use it because I find Go Launcher more to my liking.
Also moved on too RC6 with ATT fix for what it's worth, RC4 is SO last week.

I've always ran ADW launchers... simple and fast. The others seem like bloatware to me but that's just personal preference. I've always ran clear status bars so I can't run a phone without one now, I'm spoiled
Anyway I already uploaded RC6 earlier today and just re-edited the post to simplify. So for I guess the few of us who run ADW enjoy.
Going forward I'm pretty sure its possible to just put these SystemUI's into future SAUROM updates.
