New Xposed Mod: Custom Status Bar Opacity
This tiny mod makes the opacity of the status bar (when it is transparent in lock screen or launcher) easily configurable from the mod's UI without reboot. Notice that it will not change anything if the status bar is not transparent at all (e.g. in apps).
=> This helped me getting white status bar icons better readable on bright launcher backgrounds but as well lets you make the status bar permanently solid or fully transparent.
Limitations
Works only on HTC stock-based ROMs version 4.0.3 and higher using Sense launcher (simply does nothing on other devices)
You MUST accept that you use any modification at your own risk
If you want to try it, follow these steps:
If not done yet or included in your custom ROM, install the Xposed framework as described in this thread (requires root)
Install the attached APK and activate the module in the Xposed installer (this is also described in the framework thread)
Reboot

It works indeed on stock sense launcher, but it doesn't do anything in adw launcher.
Is there any way to get it working with this launcher too?
Many thanks

I'm afraid not with version 1.0 or a quick solution based on it. I'm currently working on bringing this to Samsung's TouchWiz with a more generic approach, which makes it very likely to be working in ADW launcher as well. But this may take a while, so please stay tuned.
By any chance making this mod for Galaxy note 2?

Transparency on TouchWiz status bar works differently. This is HTC specific, since it covers the Sense-specific switch between transparency in launcher and no transparency in apps. Certainly, it could be done for TouchWiz with not that big effort, but has low prio for me currently. However, I have a device running TouchWiz, so make myself a note to look into it sometime.
Works great ! thank you !

If you add some kind of option for a solid black status bar this would literally be the perfect mod.

Did you try to tap the mod in Xposed installer, which opens the mod preferences, and to slide the opacity slider completely to the left (0%). This will make your status bar solid black.

It only makes it solid black on the home screen and in the launcher, it reverts back to the gradient in apps.
It is working great and looks nice.
Thanks for your great mods

Have to look into it, can't promise. If it works same way, it will be easy to add
Great mod works perfectly... Would you be able to create one that disables the messaging app from notifying on delivery reports??? I want to have delivery reports on but the notification on the status bar gets so annoying!!
Not work on ARHD 10.2 with Dark Theme

Hi guys,
until now, I've been using jkay deluxe and it's been one of my most favorite apps. Now I want to move on to omega V51, but jkay is oncompatible. So, are there any good alternatives? To be more specific, the things I love about jkay are:
-Its lockscreen
-Its icons
-Its color selection
-Its status bar and notification center customizations
So, any solution? Thanks!
You can have a look at the Xposed Framework + some available Plugins ( eg. from Wanam )

Thank you for the recommendations!
I did a small research and it looks like that Jkay's work is irreplaceable.Especially his Deluxe lock screen is just brilliant.
Since we'll most likely won't get KitKat on our device, I decided to edit the statusbar on the stock, deodexed, ICS rom that I use as a daily driver. A transparent statusbar, custom battery icons, a KitKat wallpaper and Nova launcher would be good enough for me.
So I followed this guide and succeeded in making the statusbar 100% transparent. Problem is that it also remaines transparent when the statusbar is pulled down and in certain apps. For example in Gmail the bar turns white so the icons in the statusbar can't be seen. In Maps it remains transparent so you'll see your icons twice and a bit overlapping.
When using apktool, does anyone know which lines need to be edited in what app to only make the statusbar transparent in home- and lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!

Use Xposed framework and Xblast tools...why are you going hard way when there is easy one

Thanks for the tip, already tried achieving it with Xposed and Xblast but it doesn't seem to work. Most likely because I'm still in ICS. I know I know I should upgrade etc but I just like ICS better
Will dive into the SystemUI, Rosie and framework-res apk's a bit more to see if I can find how the statusbar background is set and with what actions.
Please do something like that .... I would love to try that on my DX
OK, I went from the GS4 to GS5 and missing HD ROM (Hopefully its coming soon now that we have root & SS)!!! One of my favorite features was the option of making the transparent AcuWeather Widget on the main home screen. Does anyone know if this can be found somewhere? The playstore offers some options but I really like the one built into the HD ROM, with the animations for different weather conditions ect..... Thanks in advance!!
Hi everyone.
I'm using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X(Snapdragon) and I'm currently on the MIUi 9 Global 7.10.19 Beta.
The bootloader is unlocked but the phone is not rooted.
I really like how the new pixel phone's interface looks.
What's the most convenient way to get the same look (home screen+app drawer+settings+app icons+notification badges+status bar UI) on my phone?
Do i need to switch to a specific Custom ROM? Or can i achieve this with the Nova launcher Pro?
any advise would be highly appreciated
You cannot change status bar and settings with MIUI, only theme it. (change colors)
To achieve Pixel look you definitely need custom ROM.
For example LineageOS + Lawnchair launcher. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah )
There is also Pixel 2 launcher, but it doesn't support custom icon packs so idk if you will like it.

Nova launcher can help you with home screen+app drawer+icons+notification badges (use latest beta its better ).
Settings and system status bar require some good theme . I have used miui hardly for 4 days so cannot say which theme would be better but there is a theme capable of getting you aosp status bar icons
For notification style and quick settings use material notification shade (just use your brain to get it work properly)
click here for an idea on how to do setups using differnt launchers .
click here for material notification shade thread and info about it .
I have added my nova backup you can use it for your setup . Just extract and restore as usual(See attachment)
Widget to use = ANOTHER WIDGET (Search on playstore )
