Hello! I'm new to Androids and so far I like it but I do have questions.
1. Is there any way to make the status/notification bar transparent on my HTC One?
I installed the apex launcher which allows me to hide the status bar entirely but I find that a bit annoying because I like to see the information on my notification bar at all times (i.e. time, connection). I just want the black strip to be transparent.
2. I just found out that there is an update to the software (4.3) and I'm currently on 4.1.2. If I install the update, will everything on my phone reset? Will I lose the layout of my icons with the apex launcher or Sense?
Status bar becomes transparent with 4.3 update. Does the green led seem brighter after update?

hey guys I am a little confused with making the status bar in froyo 2.2 transparent. Would be great if someone could help me out.
I understand that the file "statusbar_background.9.png" is responsible for the statusbar transparency.
I have 2 questions:
1) Even when I put in a 100% transparent statusbar_background.9.png into my framework-res.apk file, the status bar still shows a shade of rectangle. I've read other posts and they all could successfully implement a 100% transparent status bar without the rectangular shape.
2) This problem did not happen in 2.1. Now, in froyo 2.2, while the status bar is transparent in the lockscreen, it becomes black when I unlock the screen.
or could I be doing something wrong? are there anything to edit in the xml files?
This has to be allowed in services.jar Don't know where in this phone, but it has to be there.

Which launcher do you use?
For example launcher pro doesn't support a transparent status bar- I used a morph to make it transparent but it just changed to grey- locked its transparent.
I searched a little bit and the problem is launcher pro. It cuts the wallpaper so the back of the status bar is not the wallpaper but the color of the drawer- so it stays black.. or at least grey... I cannot really explain it to you- just google a little bit- it is a well known issue of launcher pro.
Hi,
Just installed CWM7 on my ST15i and I'm loving it, the only disappointment is the lack of customization when it comes to the status bar.
Does anybody know a way in which to manually change the colour of the status bar (pref. to white) and swap the notification pngs to contrast?
I know there's an app (statusbar+) which can "overlay" your old status bar with a new one, but it's sluggish and unresponsive at the best of times.

Sadly Quick settings aren't included.
I should also add it includes aosp drop down UI.
Thanks its pretty good, although id like to get rid of the gps icon. Is there any way to just have the status bar and keep the dropdown as is? Also i saw some pictures with blue ics status bar icons on top of a transparent bar. Any idea where this came from? Ill try to dig up the pics.
I Really miss the old launcher, and status bar from the original Android, you know "silver" with the gradient white statusbar and white look.
Is there anyway to change my statusbar to be silver, and does anyone have an old silver launcher? (1.0 - 2.2) I am really sick of the new Jellybean look and want to revert back!

For silver Launcher, look for Venom Home, and for the status bar idk what options are available besides Espier Notification, Super Status Bar and the Status Bars by Team Syndicate. (Espier never force closes, I mean NEVER, but the other ones do force close).

Gross.
Also, whether the app force closes, depends on the phone. They may not force close on buddy's phone. Status bar+ is probably your best bet. I believe they even have a status bar that is made to look like the old status bar. Icons and all

Or you could theme it yourself

espier manages to crash my whole phone, it can't even boot properly when it's set as default
Did the HOX+ always have a transparent status bar on the homescreen or was this added by the latest update?
mine was always translucent.
I honestly can't remember if I had it before the update or not, but the reason it's sticking out to me now is because of the 1 second delay it takes for it to switch from solid to transparent when going back to the home screen.
Oh well. I like it transparent, just don't like the delay.
Yes and only when using stock sense launcher, not with others.
