There's a thread with replacement SystemUI files, but they're not for CM7.
CM7 lets me do limited things with the status bar, but what I'm looking for is an ICS style action bar (if that's what it's called) with the MENU, HOME, and BACK soft keys centered at the bottom, and the status bar at the top.
Is it a theme or launcher? Can it be done? I think I've tried everything I can find except CM9. Am I expecting too much?

When I was grabbing the newest cm7.2 at succulent blog, I noticed he had some links to theme'ing cm7 to look like ICS.

Thanks much! There's one in there that I hadn't tried:

They aren't even centered in ICS unless you mean the phone style nav bar? It's built into the status bar just like in CM7.

You're right (of course) about CM7 and ICS.
I meant centered like they are in the replacement SystemUI I referenced in the OP.

Well... bummer. It's nice. It's pretty. But it's just Ice Cream flavored Gingerbread. It does have bigger buttons which is good. The status can't separated from the action buttons, though. At least from what I could determine.
I'll just patiently wait a while longer for CM9 to firm up. Or maybe try the new (rumored) OTA update in the mean time.
GO DEVS!

i have noticed that the Am/Pm bar on the top of the screen starts to burn in, it would be great if somebody could make an app that would move the Am/Pm bar around so everybody's burn in's dont get any worse
I believe changing fonts every now and then could take care of it. I know it's not whast you asked for, I guess it would just act as a bandaid for now.

Zeam let's you do this as well and it's what I recently started doing. Another option might be to use a 24 hour clock. Not sure how much that would really help though.
If they have a way to black out the battery how come theres no way to get rid of the clock or black it out I dont use it anyway
egc-r2+voodoo jl4+jl4 modem
devs for the verizon fascinate found a way to remove the am/pm from the notification bar. probably the main reason they removed it on the nexusS lol we could look into how they removed it.

Murse thanks for the suggestion! I went and downloaded Zeam from the market and it's an excellent launcher which also allows you to hide status bar! And it's free, no ads! Thanks again buddy!
edit: Ok Zeam only removes the status bar from the home screen. Open the browser or any app and the status bar reappears so not useful for hiding status bar. Also live wallpapers freeze intermittently while running Zeam. Is a good launcher despite those shortcomings.
Removing status bar entirely will probably require a different rom, not an apk.

Do you have a link to something pointing to where they changed it. I am working on a mod that will allow you to change the color (like in cyanogen mod) and even hide time and/or am/pm.

Yes. I am working on a mod (for Nero3) that takes the "settings" features from cyanogenmod, so you can show/hide the time, show/hide am/pm and change the color.
I have the code in place in the services.jar, and let me tell you, that is no easy task... and I think it is "sort of" working. when I flash the modded services jar, I have no time, but i also dont have the signal strength, and battery. which is also part of the CM stuff.
I started creating a "custom" spareparts app, that is based on the CM one (it only has the time / status bar stuff). but currently i have been unable to get it to display the time or any of the other status icons.
I am not sure yet what the problem is. It could be because it is not signed as a system app, or it could be that I am missing something in the services.jar.

If you just want 1% battery on a stock motoblur theme just use shouk's CWM zip. It will deodex (or re-deodex) you and add 1% battery without applying any theme.
EY!!
hehe @ capital (MY).
Welcome back and please revive the Vivid theme with the new features.
**Another donation coming. Great work man.

Oh yea, it does. Sorry.
I just flashed this over bnw 1.3b, 1% battery works great but now the status bar turns grey in a lot of apps, including xda. Is this normal/ part of the semi transparent notification bar? I also get a transparent notification bar on my lockscreen (widgetlocker) which I don't mind as much. Just wanted to know if it was part of the theme or not.

I can't replicate a grey status bar, as shown in the screens. Are you using a themed xda app? Maybe GreyBlur has it themed, I don't know?
EDIT: I see what you mean in Market. Guess I'll ditch the transparency in the status bar down to the background.

Here are some pics, I also noticed in market and engadget also. I went straight from stock 1.8.3 to manual deodex (no grey/gingerblur) to your 1.3b BnW, now to this current version.
Its fixed in the new version.

Is it possible to remove the clock from the status Bar?
Howto?
I use VillainRom or Cognition
Why would you do that ? I don't see a case where it's useful to hide the clock... Unless you have a ton of bull**** applications which makes tons of bull**** notifications
It's possible with CyanogenMod though.

Well, if you have a clock on your homescreen, everyone will laugh at you when they see you have 2 clocks visible on 1 screen since it's pretty retarded.
If he can turn off the satus bar clock he doesn't have to look retarded while using a homescreen clock.

Agree 100% - status bar clock is worthless IMO, delighted to be rid of it.
Revolution ROM also supports EDT tweaks/clock removal.

Agree. But the EDT tweaks will still shows date and time on the slide down notification status bar which make it look very crumsy.
That's nice if your drop down menu has a non-transparant background.

yes it is possible
follow this guide I made
and make <string name="quickpanel_ampm_position_formatter">%1$s %2$s</string>
make it look like this
<string name="quickpanel_ampm_position_formatter"></string>
save and recompile.
Here is my modded SystemUI. This one is stock and only for Jelly Bean. No 15 toggles, or different colored icons, just transparent status bar and notifications, center clock, no battery icon for those of us who like to have the percentage instead (settings ->display ->show battery percentage)
Please read everything as the firmware you use is very important!!! Installation of the wrong file will cause strange things to happen on your phone, thanks to Samsung's changes in the framework-res.
These first ones are for any older firmware up to and including XXLQB only!!!
Installation of these on any firmware that came after the Russian XXLQB will cause anomalies in your phone like selecting default telling you headphones or phone instead of Always and One Time.

The following files are for the newer firmwares starting with the Indian DDULP8 and up to and including XXLQG. Installation of these on older firmwares cause the default program selection to read S Pen has been Detached and Go To Settings to show up instead of Always and One Time.

I am sorry for taking so long to get this done, but I hope this helps correct things for everyone. If you find anything strange after you have made sure you installed the right file, let me know. But make sure you have done it right before posting anything please. I might get cranky if you didn't take time to make sure you did things right (not likely tho lol)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Screenshots below show the way they look, hopefully the descriptions are self explanatory.
Thanks to shut_down for helping me with the decompiling and compiling of apk's and the ripple effect on the lockscreen. Also big thanks to joehanh88 for invaluable assistance with the coding of the systemui and xml's and stuff.
Install with CWM or TWRP. Make sure to backup your SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk in case you want to go back. These are deodexed files. If you are still odexed, just rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bkup. Should work for you
Hope you like it... was fun (most the time lol)
If you feel it is worthwhile to use in your rom or other mod, just give me credit please and link to this...
Should you want slight variations in these, I am sorry but I don't take requests. If you want them, do some searching and find the tutorials on how to do that yourself. A good place to start is HOW TO THEME SystemUI.apk for TOTALLY newbie! by joehanh88.
And as always, I am not responsible for anything that happens if your phone breaks, blows up, or just gets an attitude.. do this at your own risk.
Can you make a black version and with normal size clock and percentage numbers? This is the best statusbar but not everybody likes transparent look

Minor update coming tomorrow. Nothing special just a little more logic..
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Op updated, with more logical order to the toggles
Op updated again, minor change, blue toggles in notifications for you
Made a couple of changes to the transparent mods. Changed the color of the clock and battery percentage to a very light gray so they will show up against a white background. Also changed the notifications to show up better in bright conditions. Download links updated. Try them and let me know what you think.

In one of my friend's s3(4.2.2) I observed that the notification bar wasn't scrollable instead of that he had a button on the right top to show all toggles ..
Can you do it for our s advance....

By the way it's recommended to keep the landscape mode untouched...

Using of alt toggles is great But in my opinion centre clock is not looking the best with many notifications.
As for me, the best variant of statusbar would be your alt toggles with black background, black bar but with clock at right (as usual) and with battery image which is white, not green. And white toogles after activating! Could be great if you can do it but I don't know if it's possible and if you have a wish and time.
