Update: Changed Lollipop screenshot, updated status bar layout and background
Hello, I have created a home screen that looks like Android 5.0 for Android 2.3 Gingerbread using only Google Play applications that don't require root
Applications I used:
Next Launcher 3D Shell Lite, this is pretty much the only launcher for 2.3 that is customizable and supports icon packs, the lite version works in this case https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gtp.nextlauncher.trial&hl=en
Super Status Bar (This is available on Google Play too but the version there doesn't work on the Galaxy Y), the "iLlusory background" feature in this app makes your status bar transparent without root, it's like magic, it also replaces your notification center with a more modern looking one
http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/3008525
LolliPop Theme, only Lollipop theme that's available for 2.3
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.szp.akai&hl=en
Digital Clock Widget Xperia, the clock font makes the home screen look much more modern and refreshed
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.digitalclockwidget2&hl=en
For wallpaper I took a screenshot of a live wallpaper on my other device running ICS (the live wallpaper doesn't support Gingerbread): http://oi60.tinypic.com/2saxyf4.jpg
Guide
1. Install Next Launcher 3D Shell, I made this guide using the full version but lite will work too, all download links are above
2. Install Super Status Bar
3. Install LolliPop Theme
4. Install Digital Clock Widget Xperia widget
5. Download the wallpaper
6. Apply Lollipop theme, press the options button (left of home button) in the Next Launcher home screen and select "Theme", from there go to "Installed" and click "Apply" over "LolliPop Colored"
7. Enable Super Status Bar, go to "General" while in the app and enable "iLlusory background"
8. Change Super Status Bar theme to Honeycomb, go to "Themes" in the app and apply "Honeycomb"
9. Change your background to the one linked in this thread, download it to your phone, press the options button in the Next Launcher home screen and select "Wallpaper", swipe to the next page in the options that pop up and you will see "Gallery". Click on it and find the background you downloaded, make sure the option on the left is Potrait and drag the glowing rectangle so it fills the whole screen and press Crop. After this and going to the home screen you should see no difference in background where the status bar starts / transparent status bar illusion
10. Arrange your home screen how you want, place the widget in the top and icons below

Minimalistic Text and Tasker

I'm working on theming and customizing my Atrix. I've been using Minimalistic Text and Tasker for a few things. I've got it setup to show me specific notification types. Is there a way I can set it up to show me the notification bar if I tap it? Or even set it up to show current signal strength?
Thanks
I think that it's not possible to do that with minimalistic text, but you can try Zoom, a flexible widget made by the same guy that made Tasker.

Why not just use something like Elixir:

I'm currently using LauncherPro Plus with the notification bar hidden. I wanted to be able to tap something on my home screen to bring it up, but I may try Elixir and see how it goes.
i know it's not the same launcher, but on Go Launcher EX you can set it to swipe-gestures on any of the dock buttons (ex. the apps button) hides/shows the notification bar

In settings you can set it so the home button hides/shows the notification bar when on the homescreen.

In launcher pro plus, if you long press on the app drawer button, and select swipe gesture action, then select Show/Hide status bar, it should do what your looking to do. Works awesome, doesn't get in the way of anything, and all you have to do is swipe up on the App drawer launcher icon. You can also set your messaging/phone icon to show missed sms/calls. Took me a while to find that feature, hope it helps.

I've played now a little while with it. This is more a construction kit for a launcher than a launcher itself. Very nice idea. I will give the payed versoin a chance.
I installed it a couple of days ago.
I really like the way it handles widgets. I haven't seen any other launcher like it.
Also I like the fact that there is no dock in the main screen.
And it's also very easy to change icons, dock backgrounds or other images (I have just set some of them to transparent).
Very nice feature is also that you can make two differnt homescreen views. One for vertikal mode and one for the horizontal mode. There is also an option to publish the themes you've made by your own. Here you can find a small introduction.
http://chyk-ss.blogspot.com/p/making-theme-apk.html
Below you can see some pictures of my first try with ssLauncher. The first two of them are showing the homescreen in portrait and landscape mode. I will give a little work on it and try to make a theme.apk out of it.
