Hi, I finally found a working launcher and I want to share it with you guys, enjoy your Google experience
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nick.kitkatlauncher
HTC Desire X || Android 4.1.2 || mySENSEdx5 RC3.0
I found another Kitkat Launcher with more features: Swipe left for Google Now, choose app drawer size and some other things
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovidos.android.kitkat.launcher3
You can also use a beta of Nova Launcher (2.3B3 is the latest, download here). It will bring you an even better KitKat-look with at least a semi-transparent statusbar

Does it require root access or something for transparent statusbar ? Because it didn't worked on stock rom.

Correct I believe Nova Launcher will need root access to get the semi-transparent statusbar to work. However it will take some time before it's actually semi-transparent.

Awesome thanks for giving it a try . you can change the wallpaper on main screen, click menu then wallpaper i will be including a wallpaper pack in next update. The lockscreen can either be, the current ICS wallpaper, or you can change the settings in app (deluxe settings) included in rom, to change it to use same wallpaper as homescreen. Also this should work with themes for XWKK5
This is a thread to show you How to transform Galaxy Y to JellyBean (in looks)
In this guide you will customize/change :
Rom
Homescreen
Lockscreen
Few Stock Apps
Status Bar
JB Keyboard
WallPaper
Rom:
The best ROM I would recommend to get ICS like look is Creeds Rom 3.5 with ICS Transparent theme
Creeds Rom : Go here (Thanks to Pratyush.Creed)
ICS Transparent Theme : Go here (Thanks to Deepakjosh)
This rom also gives you ICS like settings also
Next is the homescreen:
There are many homescreen launchers like GoLauncher Ex, ADW, Launcher Pro but you also need to download ICS/JB themes for them.
The best launcher made specially for ICS like looks is Holo Launcher. You can download Holo Launcher by Mobint from the Play Store. The link is here
You can also customize it according to your needs.To get transparent app drawer, go to Launcher Settings>Drawer Settings>Background Transparency and set the value above 50 or 60...
In ICS transparent theme itself, the Holo Launcher will be available.
There is also a plus version called the Holo Launcher Plus which allows you to add more transitions and gestures.
We don't need to worry about icons because Holo Launcher has its own ICS Icon Pack.
If you are satisfied with the Holo Launcher Iconpack, You can download any other icon pack and use it in Holo Launcher.
And then the LockScreen
In the Creed Rom 3.5 itself, there are many lockscreens. But if you want Jellybean lockscreen, there is a app by Mobint called the Holo Locker. You can get it from the PlayStore.(click here)
Now you will get JB lockcreen in your device.
Now we got the Homscreen and Lockscreen
Apps Modded like ICS and JB Recent Apps list/Task Switcher
A thread by Agmtpd ( xda member) show you how to install those. (Thanks to him)
The thread is ICS Themed stock apps
After installing them, you will get ICS like stock apps.
The same member Agmtpd also created a thread in ICS or JB like Recent Apps List/Task Switcher.
Go here for that thread.
Creeds Rom (and many other) users can directly download the zip file and flash it.
Status Bar
XDA member who created ICS trans theme only created this JB status bar. You can go to this thread and download the flashable zip file according to your wish (opaque or transparent).
Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30068008&postcount=236
JellyBean Keyboard
A free app called Jelly Bean Keyboard by VLLWP is available at the Play Store. You can download it by going here (PlayStore link)
At last, the Wallpapers
A developer kovdev has created an app for JB wallpapers. You can download it from the Playstore. (I am unable to attach files due to some problem)
Playstore link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kov.gallery.jellybean&hl=en
And now you have completed and enjoy your JellBean (mixed with ICS!) experience...
I request those who have followed my guide to post their screenshots here...

Hi!
I have a question about icons on notification bar (Wi-Fi, battery). How flash them on custom ROM? Is it possible to do that on HTC Jelly Bean Deodexed ROM?

the one in my ROM is themed
depends on rom you want to use it with, thats the same as flashing fonts.zip, best way is to nandroid and try (if it isnt supported, outcome is horrible usualy )
Hi dono if youre one a custom rom yet but you can go to the play store and search for a called notification toggle its a very useful app and puts toggles in ur notification drawer , no root required should word on stock and custom rom !! enjoy
I thought about icons on bar, not in (next to clock). And second question: how change app's icon pernamently? I know that I can download Icon Changer from Google Play, but it's not a good solution for me. Is it any other way to do that?
This Mod requires Xposed Framework
This has only been tested on S4 Stock TW Rom 4.3 but if you would like to use this on a different version please post your SystemUI.apk and I will look into supporting more versions.
This is a very lightweight mod that just replaces most of the Statusbar and Expanded Statusbar icons with AOSP style or AOSP-Blue Style icons.
If you would like to see more support for this mod please post your feedback and suggestions.
Installation Instructions:
Download .zip attachment
Extract .apk from zip
Push apk to phone and install
Enable CoolBeans Mod in Xposed->Modules app
Reboot (or Soft Reboot) phone
Download - http://theappproducer.com/coolbeans.php
Special thanks to rovo89 for the Xposed framework.
UPDATE
New version "Cool Beans White" just added. This is exact same mod but with icons in WHITE instead of BLUE. You can find this download on the same url above for original cool beans version
Nice work.
I ought to have this back when I had an i9100.... (don't have any use for it now, with my i9505 running a GP edition ROM)
Thanks.
Yes, i wouldn't have any use for it either except I need TW to work with my gear and got tired of looking at the TW icons... so this is why I made the mod.
It won't work on 4.1 jellybean right? I have a Galaxy Fame phone. I could upload systemui.apk twframework and framework if you want
sure, post them and i'll take a look
Could you please make one in reverse? Port Sammy to AOSP?
At least for separated signal icon (E,H,H+,4G...etc)

Sorry, I'm having hard time to upload to xda so I have to place then somewhere else...
Please have look a screenshot you can AOSP places 4G icon up-left side of signal bar, where TW places it separately from the signal bar.
Could you make this "separately icon" happen in AOSP?
It will be very much appreciated...
Going to give it a try I'll post feedback in a few .

The rom is smooth! The launcher has a problem! If you create a shortcut or put a widget to the screen, no way to remove them! Had to use Nova launcher. You can build again to add old cm or slim launcher. No settings to change dpi, i had to edit builf.prop . Flashed latest kk dorimanx kernel! by @Saber, is stable for now and i'm testing the new battery that arrived today!

the launcher truly have a problem,but it isn't "can't remove them",but after installing google app,the search bar will cover the delete button,which was locating in the top of screen.but it can detele still,you can hide search bar or just move shortcut to the place above search bar,it should be deleted.the bug existed for many years,Carbon dev didn't fix it,and i amnot able to fix it too.i use this launcher because it can use icon pack.for dpi,it always can't change dpi,for example cyanogenmod. the performance should be better than cyanogenmod,i think,so i built this
I disabled the search bar, I never use that thing! I try to move the icons on top screen but didn't work for me.

thanks for the tip! dorimax kernel give me headaches some times! after a reboot, stuck at dorimanx logo, errors in data partition of course! not even twrp not able to fix it! had to wipe data and restore my backup.
bug
1. Your carbon kk for galaxy s 2 is very good. One problem : when i make a short press on home button when in lock skreen, the torch is on! I ticked and unticked the torch on home button. But the problem came back. Could you please fix it?
2. As i see , there is no carbon kk stable builds? Only nighties?
addition
i mean in setting tortch is on on long press. but it always is on on short one
