Hi guys, I didn't see a thread for this, though this is not mine
I'm only sharing this with you guys
Credit: http://dadroidrd.blogspot.com
I just copied and pasted for your ease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome back ..This time I'll make a tutorial about "how to make your statusbar transparent", there may be some of you already using it but whether you know how to make it? In this edition I will peel out heee ..
This tutorial can be used for any type of android version except for version 4.0.xx "icecreamsandwich"
Step 1
To practice his or her course we have the materials and ingredients that are SystemUI.apk that is in the rom you are using where is it?? Find in / system / app / SystemUI.apk using root explorer or ADB pull
Step 2
Put in place to modify SystemUI.apk APK read the tutorial "how to use apkmanager for beginners" to apkmanager us to understand when it's the next step
Step 3
- Select the apk antecedent modif SystemUI.apk
- Press 19 input numbers 1
- Press 20 input numbers 512
- Decompile apk
- Now go into the project folder here we will begin its tutorial
Step 4
Go to the project folder / SystemUI.apk / smali / com / android / systemui / statusbar / StatusBarService.smali
For more easy in its use was editing application "Notepad + +" (download your own)
StatusBarService.smali is now open with "Notepad + +" then look for this string
” const/4 v5, 0x2
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;->(IIIII)V”
Chose with
” const/4 v5, -0x3
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;->(IIIII)V”
like this picture
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 5
find file Status_bar.xml in
projects / SysyemUI.apk / res / layout/Status_bar.xml open with “notepad++”
And find this string
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" androidaddingLeft="6.0px" androidaddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Then Chose with this new strings
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2" androidaddingLeft="6.0px" androidaddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Step 6
Then rename "statusbar_background.9.png" in projects/SytemUI.apk/drawable- (ldpi / mdpi / hdpi /) / statusbar_background.9.png be "statusbar_background2.9.png"
Then create a transparent icon with the same size as "statusbar_background2.9.png" then rename the icon that you have created such a "statusbar_background.9.png"
To more easily look this picture
then Compile apk (if you do not understand read the tutorial "how to use apkmanager for beginners")
go to folder keep deleted files (resources.arsc, clases.dex, statusbar.xml, and statusbar_background.9.png) then press enter on the CMD apkmanager.
***** If an error when compiling apk do it this way: look back to projects/SytemUI.apk/drawable- (ldpi / mdpi / hdpi /) / and then rename the "statusbar_background.9.png" to "statusbar_background.png" and rename " statusbar_background2.9.png "to" statusbar_background2.png "then compile again *****
Step 8
Take SystemUI.apk who have completed our last edit in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" on apkmanager with unsignedsystemui.apk name, then rename it to SystemUI.apk and it can be used to gadgets you.
Tips: how well it's good to use SystemUI.apk made into update.zip and flash through the recovery / CWMrecovery. But if you can not make update.zip please push SystemUI.apk it into / system / app / using root explorer, but this way is likely to lead to error
This tutorial is already proven and successful, but if something goes wrong then it is not the fault of this tutorial because this tutorial has been made with the best

wewww..nice info and long step

This is not the full apktool and @cpkunki is not the maker of the app. As mentioned, this app does not decompile and compile properly as it is missing sony framework tables.

You should install framework related apps then recompile ...
But i think there isn't anyway to do it !
Thanks for the share was looking for it

I am so sorry @Chocklety Boyee , but as @AndroidNoob69 said, I have not created this app or I do not know how to debug things because I am still a learner on XDA.
I asked one of my friend, (A Samsung user) he said try putting the app in the /system folder and decompile it.
I did that before posting this thread. Yes it got decompiled, but the problem was that I couldn't delete the folder where the app was decompiled, only its contents got deleted.
Try doing the same, but please make a backup before doing so :fingers-crossed:. Don't blame me .
And do tell me the results.

For that you can use any all in one File manager like this one
Or if you just want an XML editor, you can search on play store,

Wait bro!
Did you follow the instructions correctly?
Especially this one - Open the App, Navigate to the folder you have extracted the zip, long press it and select set as apktool data folder ?
And also, this IS working on phones like Xperia Z. Because @Rajeev bro was able to add his own Banner, 'Developer Name' in About Phone in Settings!
And also, the main developer is not mad to create such a project in Google code and on GitHub. :silly:
I used this app in ma mobile.. I already told u that i created 3 mods using this app.. One is Rom name under About Phone setting, second one is full transparent caller screen and third one is systemui transparency...

<intent android:targetPackage="com.sonyericsson.music" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.sonyericsson.music.MusicActivity" />
</header>
<header android:icon="[B]@drawable/ic_movies[/B]" android:id="[B]@id/movies[/B]" android:title="[B]@string/movies[/B]">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.sonyericsson.video" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.sonyericsson.video.browser.BrowserActivity" />
</header>
4. @drawable/ic_walkman & @drawable/ic_movies : This lines set the logo that is going to display in Setting
So you need "Walkman" & "Movies" Icon (you can use any png icon)
If you don't have the icons, you can download them from HERE
Next step is adding icons with right Dimension and Walkman & Moives icon must named ic_walkman & ic_movies in res/drawable-*dpi/
drawable-hdpi---------------------------------->48*48 Pixels
drawable-mdpi---------------------------------->32*32 Pixels
drawable-xhdpi--------------------------------->64*64 Pixels
drawable-xxhdpi-------------------------------->96*96 Pixels​
this icon will be show up in settings
5. @string/walkman & @string/movies : The Name that will Show in Setting
Open strings.xml and add this code
Code:
<string name="walkman">Walkman</string>
<string name="movies">Movies</string>
6. @id/walkman & @id/movies
Open res/values/ids.xml and add this code
Code:
<item type="id" name="walkman">false</item>
<item type="id" name="movies">false</item>
7.Recompile your Apk and Sign it
8. Transfer it to system/app and set Permissions
Note:
This Should work with any Xperia Rom that Support Ultra Stamina Mode.
I test it on my Xperia Z1 ST Ultimate Rom and it Worked Perfectly
So Test it on Your Own RISK
Updata:
if it's hard for you just replace this file

i didn't try it yet!
but in order to add whatsapp you need wifi connection
i think it's possible to add both of them
but what's the point of ultra stamina if you add wifi and another apps?
i Thought music and movie is more necessary than anything, so i just add them
Nice tutorial.:fingers-crossed:
Nice! Allthough if you're messing with /system/ you also need root, correct?
I believe you should add this requirement to the post (in big red letters) to avoid at least SOME questions in this matter.

for changing it you need PC and flashtool
if you want replace file with Explore you will need root
but you can replace it with a flashable zip (or other ways) "without root"

Considering that Internet browsing is disabled in ultra stamina, would FM radio works?
I regularly use the fm radio and it would be real good if it could be used in ultra stamina mode.

Hi Xperiaviet252.
I'm using ExistenZ rom 4.4.2, which also has no file with that name. I tried the steps described in the first post, no result. Rename the file from you suggestions to Loksreensettings.apk because only find this file with a similar name, having previously removed the file with my name, but again no effect after restart.
Obviously wrong somewhere.
