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.
i just rooted my device. then i unstall stock221v13-bugfix-3.
at this time i wanna install themegs.
but i don't know how to install.
do anybody explain particularly??

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.
Hey everyone!
I've looked around on the web but I can't seem to be able to find a solid guide on how to mod the notification bar to be a different color or semi transparent.
I know some miui themes exist, but i want to do it manually so i or anyone else stumbling on this thread can apply it to their current rom and theme they have going.
I guess while we're at it, if anyone also knows how to change individual icons on the status bar that would be awesome too.
To my knowledge uot kitchen does not work with transparent/different colored notification bars.
Hopefully someone can shed some light!

From what i hear its almost impossible unless u are on miui.....ill tell u a few ways to work around it though....u can use multipicture live wallpaper, or if you have adw launcher ex you can turn on high res in settings

I FINALLY got it to work on my phone after months of searching. What ROM are you on?
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.

Stock Mod Download
Alt Toggle order Transparent download
Alt Toggle order Black download
Transparent and Blue Toggles Download
Black with Blue Toggles Download
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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.
Transparent Mod Download for Newer Firmware
Stock Mod Download for Newer Firmware
Alt Toggle order Transparent download for Newer Firmware
Alt Toggle order Black download for Newer Firmware

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

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.

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.

I'm on stock Android 4.1.2. I have a rooted International Galaxy S3 i9300. Build Number XXEMB1. I want to make by status bar transparent whilst keeping the notification icons and things in the same place (without the middle clock thing). I want to keep everything the same. Only the transparency to 80%. How to I go about doing this without messing anything up?

Hi, I have been using some of your very useful information since I got an international S3 I9300, and got to tweak the original theme a little. Thanks for that.
So I'm using go launcher X, xposed framework and some modules which gave me the transparent status bar and some new icons.
But I cannot get the transparency in notification tray, behind notifications or clock.
Does anybody know if it is possible? Is there any module for xposed framework which actually can do that?
Hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
I have the GS3 (Int.) and will be modding my status bar to make it more like the android 4.4 leak (nice and transparent) or like the transparent GS4 status bar. Try this module. it's the closest I could find: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457265 . I will be doing this exact thing later on today. The link has the details and a video if you need help from that. Here is a video walkthrough that I will be following later on today: goo.gl/NJVFUc . Copy-paste the link into the search bar without www at the start.
I think it is what you might be looking for. Hope I helped. Press thanks if I was useful.
Hi, thanks for your answer I'm going to check that module, altought I already have the transparency working on my status bar and part of the notification tray. You ca see it at: postimg.org/image/emo5qk48x/ or postimg.org/image/7jpf3f07p/
It's just this part of the notification tray which I can't get to be transparent postimg.org/image/i0vhk77fl/
Actually I'm using xblast module and xquicksetting toggles to get those transparent parts but it can't get the transparency behind the clock or the notifications "per se"
If you have any idea about it, please let me know. Thanks again
Sorry man. Don't know about that. Nice WP BTW.
