[Q] How to get transparent status bar? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am new to android and only today i rooted my nexus 4 and installed cyanogenmod 10.1. The reason why i rooted by device is because i need transparent (or semi transparent) status bar and a transparent bar at the bottom (the area with back and home). Is there any particular app or anything to get a transparent status bar??
thanks in advance

compiling systemui.apk and android.policy.jar to enable transparent statusbar and navigation bar right now. Will post APK if it works.
UPDATE : Who needs PNA :3

No joke, I thought the same.
AOKP has the transparency option as well, btw.

AOKP lets you adjust the transparency from 0-100%, both top and bottom or individually. It's also a great ROM all around.

Really looking forward to this if it works I've been trawling through the internet for something like this but there was no simple flash apk solution; there were many DIY methods that never seemed to work :S Will this work with stock ROM?

as far as i know it should be deodexed. just install a deodexed one (there are plenty of stock deodexed roms here on xda for n4). i am interested in this too
man i hate the new "wait 2 mins before edit until you a sufficient number of posts" )

Thank you. I installed and AOKP rom.

I still want the apk file. Please post it exb0 when you're finished

Hi. Can you please tell me what exactly u want.
Sent from my Nexus 4

he actually wants the zip file so he could flash the transparent statusbar mod on a deodexed rom on n4. if you want the systemUI.apk file then you should also get the modified framework-res.apk.

I can only do it if you're running CM10.1. I will NOT compile it for stock or any other rom.

if you do it for cm 10.1 then i'd be grateful thanks

not sure if this will work for you, this is compiled with the latest nightly. I sync it everytime. 50% on the statusbar and 100% on the nav bar. Push the APKs yourself or make a ZIP for flashing.

it doesn't... i mean it sort of... works) it f****d up the navbar meaning i can work on it but has flickering and shows images of the statusbar on the background and other stuff which shouldn't be there.

I think you'll have to use my rom instead

Is it not possible for this to be done on the stock ROM?

The one and only way to change your notification bar is root. The notification bar is part of the framework-res.apk in the system. To modify this file in anyway you need root. Sorry your out of luck
Check out G.O.T's Openrecovery......it will allow you to root if you haven't already and has a nice theme included with a black notification bar!
Am using it right now and looks good...although I would suggest not installing the fonts as they are slightly messed up on the new update.

It doesn't work for the 02.38 leaked build from GOT Team...or rather, it works but it mess up all the text, because Motorola have made some changes in framework-res.apk on that build. With the past build, 02.31, it works flawlessly.

You can try to remove got theme, in OpenRecovery folder delete "fonts" and retry applying theme. It should go
I wasn't referring to the GOT Theme (I've tried it and it works, even if I don't like it that much) but to the SenseUI/Black notification bar linked by iamdarren on droidforums.net, it confuses some texts on the Shols_2.38. For example when you want to shut down the phone, it shows "airplane mode" instead of "shut down phone" and other things like that.
I know it's an old thread, but ia am also looking for a black notification bar.
Using Telus build 3.11.
Anyone th files?
does anyone know if this works on milestone xt720 eu ver? and 2.1 upd-1
The ss evo theme for droid (has to be installed over simply stunning 4.7) has a nice notification bar. Dunno if u can install just the bar though. :/

[MOD][KJ3] 9 QuickPanel Toggle Options

Modded version of SystemUI to add 9 Toggle functions to the QuickPanel. There is also longpress options to go directly to the setting.
I have only tested this on KJ3 so I'm not sure if it'll work on previous versions or not. Use at your own risk.
Special thanks to crt60 for helping me get this running in KJ3

Deodexed and CWM ready. Enjoy
Nice. thank you.

If running a custom version of ROM KJx, will this also change my battery, clock, data and wifi icons in the notification bar at the top of the drawer back to stock?
Awesome, I extracted the systemui.apk and used root explorer to drop it in system/app then rebooted and it worked flawlessly! Thanks for this.
Yes some of the bar icons are controlled by SystemUI.apk, but also from framework-res.apk so I'm not exactly sure what would change.
I had a similar situation with a previous rom where sometimes my signal bars world be white and sometimes green because the framework file had green icons and my sysui file had white.
Its best to backup your files, in this case SystemUI.apk, before trying out a new one

Awesome mod!! Been wanting this for a while now. I was even trying to get this done myself but it just didn't work. I can report this works!! Thank you for this!!
There are two small things I noticed I just thought I would mention though. Carrier name is not shown in the drop down, and when I scroll to any side, there is no overscroll glow on the sides. I am using crt60's power menu and crt off mods.

it appears that this only works for deodexed ROM
tried it after flashing the KJ3 odin one click and status bar will not start keeps force closing
IM assuming that if one was to deodex the stock rom it would work
but wouldn't it be simpler to make a package like this that works on stock odexed?
Actually if i remember correctly it is more difficult to theme an odexed rom as opposed to a deodexed.
How easy would it be to re-odex this package so it would work on an odexed ROM? Is that some thing i could do myself?
If so how? Im sure there are other people wondering the same thing.
I would love to have the 9toggles but it seems this is impossible with an odexed rom. why-o-why?
I installed your system.ui apk with root explorer sucessfully onto Fasty's KJ1...only changes were; lost transparent dropdown and logo, and 'H' is now 3G only (native to KJ3?), and wifi + data icon are stock...these are all non-issues for me as the usefulness of the 9 toggle trade-off is well worth it! Fasty's KJ1 battery icon (personal favorite) remained! Thanks.
Same result as above. Thanks.
This is Blitz76's 9 QuickPanel Toggle with the over scroll fixed.
That was my bad.....

Thanks crt60, I tried the update you posted but I still don't see the overscroll glow. I flashed from cwm, then I tried just copying and pasting w/ root explorer. Am I doing something wrong?
Oh and did you guys remove the provider name from the drop down on purpose?

The over scroll I'm talking about is when you scroll it, it went too far to the left. I have absolutely nothing to do with the code, I just assisted with some graphics.
There is no "you guys" about it. Its all blitz76. I wouldn't have even posted this fix if I didn't think he was really busy and might not be back for a few days.
Does it work on KJ2 ?
Anyone try on KH3 Pinnacle 1.3?

Also got FC but managed to get it working.
Use a file manager to mount /system/app rw then rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.old, then reboot. This should fix the issue.
However I noticed that carrier name is now gone from pulldown menu, is it by design?

Thanks for the answer, but I'm trying to get these particular mods for the ROM I already have, because 4.3 is not perfectly stable right now on 4.3 and these ROM's have many features I don't really need.

You can use any cm10.2 rom with any launcher that has this feature.
