Am I missing something, or isn't this exactly what your own guide does?
Just skimmed through it - I'm still on GB - but have I missed something, am I stupid, or both?!

yo missed a little , my guide dosent covers status bar and the little texture the op is asking about

Is the systemui
You need do Decompile SystemUi and classes.dex with apk tools and smali/backsmali....You can find some help in many treads...
Ex. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24136723&postcount=663

It's notify_panel_notification_icon_bg in framework-res

Sorry
OPS you are right ... I thought the bar, not the background, sorry:

You need to decompile your systemui.apk.after that go to res/values/
edit styles.xml,search for TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock and change the value of android:textColor to 808080 (which i think is grey,not sure).after making changes, save and compile your systemui.apk and there you go...

Maybe I have missed something here.
Every application I use to decompile an ICS apk file returns errors.
What application are you using to decompile and then recompile the apk files?
Any help would be appreciated.

Which file, plz?
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.

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?

Try the attached apk. It *should* have a black background. Please let me know if it works. Just use a file manager and place the apk in /system/app and set permission like this -

if it uses a png file as background, u can replace it with a black png file. have a look in drawable-mdpi folder. if it changes background by using codes, u have to decompile and edit some codes.

the file you need to mod is status_bar_expanded.xml
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.NotificationPanelView
you can set transparency by changing the android background color hex
I added a new background so the resource would define color by drawable rather than style... i did this for the reason it is easier for the average user to mod themselves.
Nice mod still getting the shuttering when opening the drawer no biggie.

the systemUI mods have a permission set for Prism.apk. I'm assuming that is a typo in your updater script and you meant to set the permissions for SystemUI since that's what is being flashed.

that is correct it will not make a difference anyway, thank you for pointing it out though
I wasn't trying to be a prick or anything. What I meant to ask is I guess is does the SystemUI apk. need to have those permissions set?

Nah I just meant that I dont like to point out things trying to highlight a mistake to make anyone look bad. I was just confirming what your were intending to do vs what I looked like the script had going.
hey @xvicedice im trying to get the transparent status bar (when closed) to match the transparency of your blinkfeed/app drawer mod. i was wondering if you could point me to the drawable/xml file. thanks!

no worries what level of transparency are you looking for? - its more than likely in the values/drawables folder under something like status_bar_bg.. if not i thing on the sense based roms they are png files due to the open close of statusbar.. in the case of the second i would look in the drawables folder for something like status bar on or something... if you have any issues let me knw
