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

LOL Thanks Not bad for an old man eh?
both statusbar and notification dropdown if you can, keep up the good work
Great look of bar but is it suitable for JellyMOD? Will my toogles be replaced by toggles from the screen?

It's sad The only problem is that 3G toogle is to far. Does Samsung really think that I use Bluetooth much often?
op updated with stock version.
Thanks man best statusbar!!!
Re: [JB] Oh Boy, Another modded SystemUI LOL
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.
Re: [JB] Oh Boy, Another modded SystemUI LOL (updated now with stock and blue Toggles
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....
If you didn't get the description the I'll upload a screen shot of the notification pull down ...
By the way it's recommended to keep the landscape mode untouched...

Yes I have seen that before too, am looking for a tutorial and source files for it, if I can find that will see what I can do... no promises tho hehe
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.

So,I am trying to theme my s3 like the s4 but no succes right now, i tried almost everything in the theme sub-forums but i got errors like on every mod that I flash,or my status bar is not showing.I only want my screen to look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=7703&pictureid=34799 . Transparent status bar with non-transparent toggles and notification icons,and of course white. The settings menu also white and etc. just like the Galaxy s4. If there is someone who managed doing this already,please let me know how to do it. Thanks a lot !
Since we'll most likely won't get KitKat on our device, I decided to edit the statusbar on the stock, deodexed, ICS rom that I use as a daily driver. A transparent statusbar, custom battery icons, a KitKat wallpaper and Nova launcher would be good enough for me.
So I followed this guide and succeeded in making the statusbar 100% transparent. Problem is that it also remaines transparent when the statusbar is pulled down and in certain apps. For example in Gmail the bar turns white so the icons in the statusbar can't be seen. In Maps it remains transparent so you'll see your icons twice and a bit overlapping.
When using apktool, does anyone know which lines need to be edited in what app to only make the statusbar transparent in home- and lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!
Xposed
Use Xposed framework and Xblast tools...why are you going hard way when there is easy one

Thanks for the tip, already tried achieving it with Xposed and Xblast but it doesn't seem to work. Most likely because I'm still in ICS. I know I know I should upgrade etc but I just like ICS better
Will dive into the SystemUI, Rosie and framework-res apk's a bit more to see if I can find how the statusbar background is set and with what actions.
Please do something like that .... I would love to try that on my DX
I'm using CM10.1.3,tablet UI.
I've searched with the keyword 'tablet UI transparent',
but found even no result that the android nav/nofication bar can be transparent...
no screenshot,no guide...
I've tried to follow some mod guide for normal phone/phablet UI,to make nav/status bar transparent,
but they seem not work under tablet UI...
If there's a possibility to let the bar of tabletUI be transparent?
If it's possible,and how to?
Hope to get a answer.
Thanks~
Hi, first of all I don't know if this goes in q&a or theme/apps, but here goes:
attached are two screenshots of my current setup. Obviously I'm going with a very stock KitKat theme.
I would like to have a flashlight widget that sort of fits into the theme of this. Semi transparent like the google search bar or something. I know I can use uccw but wondered if anyone knew of a standalone app/widget.
Would also like some sort of battery indicator since I don't like it in the status bar. Maybe something like a simple line across my screen? also following the theme ideally. Don't care to know exact percentage so it doesn't have to have the number with it. jusy something easier to read than my status bar.
I'll also share how I am set up if anyone is interested.
Thank you!

Might try Team Battery Bar for your battery indicator. Download from Play Store. Not sure on the torch widget.
