[Q] LG Optimus L9 | Kitkat 4.4 Transparent Status Bar - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Hi all. Knowing the kitkat transparencies, and beta launchers that incorporate it.
The question is how to implement them in lower versions as Jelly Bean.
My device is LG Optimus L9 JB, different to normal.
Try to Xposed and did not work.
So I decided to edit the SystemUI.apk, which in LG is LGSystemUI.apk.
I extracted to PC framework-res.apk, lge-res.apk and LGSystemUI.apk and decompile and compile process, but something is wrong, and android reports, SystemUI has stopped.
The process I do is:
I'm NEW USER, so here is the link of img ----> h-t-t-p://i.imgur.com/dTlahtx.png
· Android Multitool.
· Install framework-res.apk
· Install lge-res.apk
· Decompile, open folder and only edit a .png (invert colors) to try functionality
· Then I compile folder
· Open old LGSystemUI and copy META-INF folder and AndroidManifiest.xml to the new LGSystemUI with Normal compression
· Then I sign with Android Multitool.
But It does not work. What's wrong?
Thanks!!!, I'm new to the forum and I'm a little lost :angel:

Try to compile without edit anything and don't sign it with Android Multitool. Just copy META-INF folder and AndroidManifiest.xml to the new LGSystemUI.

Hello,
I used GravityBox with my stock LG P760 v20i JellyBean and stock launcher. At lockscreen it seems to work, but in main screen it doesn't. Status bar blinks transparent and after second it become standard black one. What is wrong?

May not work on stock launcher...try nova or apex. One thing I have found out though is that it has to be set as your default home screen to work. Worth a shot
