1 res / layout / tw_super_status_bar.xml
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWin dowView android:background="#00000000" android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
2. res / values / drawables.xml

Just noticed your using the xblast app didn't see that before, don't know how that works.
You can decompile the SystemUI.apk change the two xml files at the locations indicated previously then compile the apk and install on your phone easiest way is to use vrtheming and just flash the changes you made through recovery.
You would need to understand deconpling and compiling of apk's and theming.

I would like to have a transparent notification bar then I looked inside my framework-res.apk and I finded some png that looks related to status bar (status_bar*.png and statusbar*.png).
I edited these images adding transparency and flashed framework-res.apk to my phone (getting no errors).
Nothing has changed, do anybody know what images have to be changed to modify status bar?
Thx
The files related to the statusbar are .9.png files so they need the draw 9 patch and i dont know how to so that so just google it

Hi, thanks for reply!
So do you mean all status*.9.png images?
I have the same issue but it is not with the files. I found if I switch to the system theme in the theme chooser all my changes are there. Does anyone know where to edit a theme to make changes to the frame work?
if your still looking for transparent statusbar, you can use my cooked rom which allows transparent statusbar
The systemui.apk has to be modified for a transparent statusbar.
Search on xda or google how to do this.
Or use the advised ROM from above.

The short answer is "a lot"
Obviously, that's not helpful, so here's what I remember off the top of my head that should be helpful:
Framework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml:
PHP:
<style name="Widget.ListView.WithBackground" parent="@style/Trans">
<item name="scrollbars">none</item>
<item name="layout_marginTop">0.0px</item>
<item name="listBackground">@drawable/list_selector_background_normal</item>
</style>
The modification is at the end of the first line [parent="@style/Trans"]
Also you need to add the following style somewhere. At the end is fine:
PHP:
<style name="Trans" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/tinted_trans_bg</item>
<item name="textColorHighlight">#8000aeff</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHintInverse</item>
<item name="textColorLink">#ff0000ee</item>
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="colorBackgroundCacheHint">#00000000</item>
</style>
In addition, you need to put the attached tinted_trans_bg.9.png to the /drawables/ directory.
This is for the Settings.apk background as well as a few other small apks.
twframework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml:
PHP:
<style name="TwTheme" parent="@style/TwTrans">
<item name="twTabWidgetStyle">@style/TwTabWidget</item>
<item name="twRadioButtonStyle">@style/TwRightRadioButtonStyle</item>
<item name="twSoftkeyItemStyle">@style/TwSoftkeyItemStyle</item>
<item name="twProgressBarStyle">@style/TwProgressBar</item>
<item name="twSeekBarStyle">@style/TwSeekBar</item>
</style>
The modification is at the end of the first line [parent="@style/TwTrans"]
Also you need to add the following style somewhere. At the end is fine:
PHP:
<style name="TwTrans" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/tinted_trans_bg</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">#8000aeff</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">?android:textColorHintInverse</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">#ff0000ee</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">#00000000</item>
</style>
In addition, you need to put the attached tinted_trans_bg.9.png to the /drawables/ directory.
This is for the MMS.apk, and I think Contacts, but can't remember for sure
Contacts and MMS:
These need more changes, but I'll have to let you know more later. That should get you started at least.
Thank you so much. A lot of good info.here I really appreciate your help.

I use the mult-livewallpaper, and it lets you change the lockscreen image also. Problem is, thier is an overlay or something that makes it too dark.
Does anybody know what I need to remove/modify, to get rid of it?

If you're running Cyanogen you can manually set the lockscreen wallpaper in Settings->Cyanogen Settings
I don't run cm7, I like the stock lockscreen because it works everytime with the fingerprint scanner. Widget locker etc... doesn't work that well with it.
thanks though!

you will have to edit the lockscreen image in the framework-res file, which takes some knowledge if you want to do it.

Its not an image, its a transparency value in keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml in res/layout in framework-res.apk.
change:
Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.LinearLayoutWithDefaultTouchRecepient android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR=Red]70000000[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
to
Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.LinearLayoutWithDefaultTouchRecepient android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR=Red]00000000[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
May have to do the same for keyguard_unlock_landscape.xml if you have landscape unlock screens
If it's not that xml, which it may not be, look in the other keyguard xmls for transparency values that aren't ff or 00.

I'm trying to port a MDPI phone's SystemUI.apk for my HDPI phone, made a drawable-hdpi folder with necessary files in it, but when pushed to my phone, it is just refusing to use images from that folder. I also went through the res xmls, but was a little clueless.
Then I tried to edit AndroidManifest.xml and added the lines-
Code:
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:xlargeScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true" >
</supports-screens>
But then SystemUI stopped working.
The thing is, the layouts and notification toogles are just fine, but the battery and signal icons are blurry.
Is there any way to make it read resources from drawable-hdpi folder?
Please, anyone?
Sent from my LT26i using xda-developers app
Wouldn't it be Easter to find The system UI available for your screen size. It is a system app so everything is pre compiled for MDPI if you wanna make it HDPI you would need to have the source for the app and compile it for HDIP

If you have the stock firmware there is no way to change either of the above items.
Personally, I think they should have removed the battery icon and just left the % there.
The lock screen was annoying when they changed to a camera, seeing as you can just press the camera button for quick launch. But if you hold the power button and then release after a second, you can change volume between silent, loud and vibrate, not as slick, but does the job.
If you are rooted, there is certainly a way to change the lock screen, but not sure about the battery.
Not sure, but if phone is rooted, try UOT kichen!
Might try something, could someone upload SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk?

It‘s easy if you can use the apktool .
Just modify the status_bar.xml,remove the line
Code:
<TextView android:layout_gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_settings_settings_button" android:singleLine="true" style="@style/StatusBarNotificationText" />
Or change the position of the battery_text!
Enjoy.

I'm using Xperia S (unlocked bootloader and rooted, stock rom), will adding this line to the status_bar.xml show the battery percentage?
Where do I find the status_bar.xml. Also kindly could you tell me the procedure, I am new to android.
