Hey guys, anyone know of a way to get a transparent navbar and status bar like the one in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882394 I'd rather not switch roms since I like CM so much. Does anyone know what I need to mod in systemUI or wherever to get this to work?
Edit: meant to post in Themes + Apps
+1, I too would like to know how to do this. I am on rasbeanjelly and unfortunately there's no option here.
Go for JellyBeer, its based on cm with a bit more customization, I have flashed it today, and I love it!

It's generally an option built into ROMs. Paranoid android and aokp definitely have it but I can't speak for others. I don't know of any mod that can attach this functionality to your current rom.
Just an FYI though, this will not make status bar/nav bar transparent for anything other than your homescreen. That is because only launchers draw underneath the status and nav bar so you can make them transparent to see what's underneath. No other app does this. No mod or rom will be able to make transparent for anything other than homescreen

I know. I just want it on the homescreen. It's not in cm, but there's code that lets other roms use it, so that means there is a way for a mod to be made. Or I could do it myself, I just need to know what code to input.

Desperate waiting for someone to come up with a theme that has 50% semi-transparent statusbar for Oxygen Gingerbread.
Or rather, just the statusbar without theme.
Tried to modify using Ninjamorph, but device would just restart and restart.
So if someone can do it, or give advice on how i can put it there, please help.

Id also like a fully transparent status bar for Oxygen RC7.
I've played around with the framework but couldn't get anything to work

can't make it work
maybe someone can provide a semi-transparent statusbar .zip please
Not only the status bar semi transparent but a full theme

I would love a transparent status bar always, on any ROM I use.
I know there are ways to do this yourself, customize it in a way.
but i've read and its pretty hard, thinking of doing this every time after I flash a new rom.
I dont like a full theme, but i do like to have a transparent status bar on my homescreen, like the one in MIUI for example.
Maybe its possible for theme developers here to create a flashable transparentstatusbar.zip for some of the main AOSP roms, oxygen, cyanogen, villain
I would appreciate it a lot.
yup ..... yup .... yup

Oh i was unclear. What i meant was, just the statusbar, not the statusbar menu (although the menu is very nice as semi-transparent too)
Thanks anyway

I'd like one too.
It's amazing, i have searched through all internet, and still not found working solution... tried different framework files and always ended up in boot-loop.
how hard can it be?!
Why MIUI rom has transparent status-bar and oxygen or cyanogen not?
It seems weird to have old-school win98 style (or worse) status-bar, wen we have such power in our phones nowadays. And I assume that if MIUI can do it, it should be possible...
I hope that someone figure out a working solution. I will thank this guy in advance
Hi I'm looking for an expresso bar mod for my desire, and so far have not been able to find one, wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of one, if one exists that is, and yes I have used the search feature extensively.
The problem is I'm looking for one that just changes the bar on the home screens and a matching straight lockscreen bar, not too bothered either way about the notification screen, but don't want to change any icons on the notification bar as I have already used the circle battery mod, and would like it to stay the way it is, also needs to be for a 2.09 rom base, and no colour mods, I wan't the button press colour to stay at the standard green, not bothered wether it's skinned in the black or carbon either.
Would be very grateful for this indeed, been looking for one for months on and off now.
search for 'BrightSilence Espresso' and you'll find one of the best ones (IMO) or failing that you could use HElauncher from the market as there is a Slate theme, which is basically Espresso but no Sense Widgets...so it depends what you wanna do really
Hope i helped somewhat
Does any body now how to make the status bar transparent.
I have googled for hours and can not find it.
Plz help
the status bar in gingerbread is transparent by default.
I think he means the top bar itself, not the dropdown background. Which iirc is not actually transparent, but lots of ROMs have it built in. Also, I think Kyouko should make it
BANG! from my shooter...
I am talking about the the top bar. I am running cm7.
the only transparent bars I can find are for hdpi roms.

Thanks kyouko. A little to much work for me though

but how to transparent the top bar?
First off, you'll need Gingerbread. That's the Android OS that supports transparency in the top bar. Second, you'll need something to change your top bar color. I do believe CyanogenMod 7 has an option for it somewhere. You'll have to change the alpha setting on it to adjust transparency.

Hi! why only with stock LG wallpaper I can see a full screen image in my home? with custom image, the topbar it's only quite transparent, not totally like stock.
how can I solve this?
Been having the same question. After some search, it seems that using the Xposed mod is one of the way to get a 100% transparent bar. Not sure if there are any other ways..

I'll let other, more informed G2 owners confirm this, but I believe that if you install wallpapers via an apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and you can get a transparent notification bar. I am still exploring this.

Wallpaper as an apk..? Okay unless I'm going crazy from all the studying that is something new to me. I don't remember installing wallpaper.. However I did install apps that has a selection on wallpapers. After setting it thru the app, the status bar becomes translucent. Thanks for the info though. Will search around because I really liked the transparent status bar.

Let me re-phrase that:
I meant to say that you can find apps (apks) that install wallpapers - and when they do (I believe) the G2 will see them as "stock", not as "pictures" that are used as wallpaper. When those wallpapers are seen as stock, you get 100% transparency in the notification bar. This is what I think - still looking into it. Hope this is helpful!
Well it's pretty simples really ... the status bar icons are white and aqua, these would only be easily visible on a dark (non-white) background, which all the stock wallpapers are ... now if you use a custom wallpaper, I doubt the phone can detect what colour the wallpaper is, so to avoid numpties setting a white wallpaper and then wondering/complaining why their icons have disappeared, they have set it so that there is a semi transparent black bar for all custom wallpapers to ensure the icons can still be seen regardless of what colour the wallpaper is.
Simples.

Makes sense.
So is it the case that when you install wallpapers via an app/apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and won't automatically apply the semi-transparent background? Just wondering...

I'm not sure about that, I don't tend to set wallpapers straight from an app, I always download them, I actually only really use the wallbase.cc app for all my wallpapers. (best wallpaper app).
But if was to take a guess, I would say that the phone assumes all the pre-installed stock wallpapers are compatible with a transparent status bar ... so if you get the phone to think your custom wallpapers are preinstalled stock wallpapers then it might work.
This could be just as simple as saving the wallpapers in the correct system folders along with the other stock wallpapers. Which might explain why if you set it from the app directly it works, as you're not actually downloading the wallpaper, so the app only saves it as a temporary file in the system folders, thus making the phone think it's a stock wallpaper.
Again, these are all assumptions, I haven't tested any of it so it could all be useless info ... but worth looking into .. I do like the transparent status bar.

I believe the phone came with a light blue sky wallpaper. That should have made the status bar translucent. But it didn't. Is it possible to put in wallpapers together with the system's default set? You just need to add pictures into the specific folder eh?
tried to achieve the same with GravityBox Xposed module and it works just as strange as observation in this thread. the status bar becomes transparent right after applying the settings no matter the wallpaper but it goes into the usual semi transparent mode right after you visit the app drawer for example.
I've noticed there isn't any mods to replace the status bar icons with custom png's as has been done with other custom roms. How would one go about to accomplish this. Really don't like the bland icons in Marshmallows ui. The only xposed module available is for Samsung touchwiz phones. Did a search to see if there was a guide online and at Xda, but could not locate one for Android 6.0.
There are CM themes and Layers mods that offer different status bar icons.

RRO layers overlays provide a pretty easy way to theme your phone on MM. Here's a collection that might be worth a look for what you're after.
If you start using layers be sure to make a backup before applying any, or learn how to delete overlays manually from the TWRP file manager. I've rendered my UI unusable a few times with layers. Like most things, you need a bail out plan in case things go wrong.
Flat Style Bar, check it out.

Aside from flashing a CM rom which actually has colorful icons in their themes, there's a lot of different white versions of icons for stock based Android roms. Was looking for more colorful icons like the previous Real Icons Theme use to provide.
Yes you can change the color to all blue or some other color, but you can't get different "colorful" icons.

It's Blue Hydra. I did tweak the blue a little bit with Xposed. The hex code I use is ff222cff.
