Hi all, couldn't find a thread for this subject.
I like the transparent statusbar and I understand that when using apps or in certain screens it will be black but when I crop an image to use as a wallpaper shouldn't it be fullscreen ratio? On the stock wallpapers it is transparent but with a custom image it's black. Not sure if there's anything I can do as I'm no dev, but if anyone knows of a solution I'd like to hear it.
Thanks

Samsung has a new update that has the transparent notification.
I make my own custom wallpaper. It shows up transparent just fine. I am/was confused about the transparent fix Samsung announced.
Currently I have a picture of grass I took. The picture was taken with the phone camera. The stock wallpaper app seems to do a good job cropping.
On the laptop using GIMP I crop and scale to 1920x1920 300 DPI. Canvas adjust to 1080x1080. Then Image size to 1920x1920 300dpi.
First screenshot is the grass background I made in GIMP. Second is a dandelion picture I captured and cropped on phone. They both have a transparent notification bar. Hence my confusion.

Ah, well... I am running rooted stock and when I go to update software I get toasted with something like "this device has been modified. There are no updates available" any way to fool it into thinking I have unmodified binaries or am I going to have to get on a custom rom to stay updated? I have put a lot of work into build.prop tweaks, init.d scripts, audio/visual mods, etc....it's just that the opaque status bar is a little thing that irks me. I also am a little bummed out knowing that I'm missing out on some cool little updates.

The new update has only been released to the Germany T-Mobile AFAIK. There are a couple custom ROM based on it using the transparent notification. If you want to keep root and a recovery, I would not recommend flashing anything from AT&T since its rumor they are working on a fix for that...

Yeah. Att doesn't work so well for me anyway. I have to flash a jfltecan kernel with any att rom I've found or I get stuck in bootloop and I'm worried about a potential bricking. Either way I don't like having att posted all over my telus phone so I steer clear. There are some cool telus based roms but I like to try and figure the mods out or at least ask around for reading material to help me.

Err . I didn't mean to add ATT crap in there since I saw the M on your sig... opps, its a habit
You can flash I9505 ROMs from what I have read. Not sure about your carriers track record in releasing updates in a timely manner (ATT sucks about that). Have you checked out the I9505 threads? Just make sure its I9505 Qualcomm and not the Octa-core I9500.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303125
Btw anybody notice this? I found it in the i9505 thread. It says it should work on any variant but I think I might be doing something wrong when manually editing build.prop because it hangs at the Samsung logo boot animation forever. When flashing the zips it says editing build.prop so maybe the manual edit is unnecessary? If I get it working I'll let anybody interested know, likewise if anybody else takes interest and can make it work let me know how.
(Edit) this doesn't work according to multiple people in the thread. Sorry for wasted space.

Yeah. I would like to keep my stock base though, like I say looking to do mostly my own mods. Unless I can find something that I can't live without my daily driver will be telus base. Thanks though.

If anybody was having the same problem as I was in my OP I found the solution for me. Not taking any credit just posting a link.
So I tried this out with i377m jfltecan s4. Works with all my gallery pics. Just flash the 9505 version.

Why don't you just install NottachXposed? - it'll allow you to set whatever transparency you want for the status bar...and much more.

You right, but its good to know which apps work. We might want to mix things up.
If the Google Edition ROMs have TW framework then why not to try. I read somewhere that the camera app works but I don't know where to find the link to the apk.

So on my home screen I've used the app power toggles a little bit in my setup. Though recently, when redoing my home screen today I've noticed that the music controls have not been working. I did just update my phone to 4.3 so I'm not sure if that's the reason why. Anyone else have issues?

What version of Android are you running? Stock 4.2.2 or 4.3? Or a custom rom?

If you are using a third party launcher, it could be causing the issues.

Negative. As I am using Apex launcher pro and PT is working absolutely fine. Prior to that i was using stock launcher and it was working great on that too.
OP check the version you are using and report back.

Thing is though, prior I was using Power Toggles (and the music buttons) with Nova Launcher Prime previously and there wasn't issue.
Closest thing I've been able to find from Googling around is this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/300241-power-control-widget-bug-4-3-a.html
Seems like it's an issue with Nova possibly when you update to 4.3 and use power toggles. Not sure if that's the case but the only thing I've found so far.
I have seen some posts on other forums where Nova is causing issues with widgets in general.

You can go to the Play Store page for Nova and weed thru the reviews, picking out the ones that mention 4.3, and you will see what I mean.

I'm coming from a romed Samsung Galaxy Nexus using Android 4.3. The reasons why I bought this phone are:
1. The large, bright, crystal clear screen
2. The ability to multitask (having two apps pulled up and interacting with both of them).
3. The new S Pen
I miss some of my stock android features. Reallllly hoping someone creates a stock android rom for this. Miss the ability to reply to texts from the pull down notification window and miss the stock keyboard auto correct features.

Didn't have the note 2 so I couldn't tell you, but from my understanding it was a few months as well.

You can have a "nexus feel" right now. And the CM stuff is quite different in general from stock Nexus. Install Beans ROM - get your CM pie menus, get your Kit Kat launcher, change your status bar / icons, and you can have a setup pretty much identical to stock Nexus and most of the way there to CM.

It's AOSP for starters, not ASOP. And yes, I have used many, many ROMs - AOSP, AOKP variants included. And yes, you can have things quite comparable by stripping out unneeded services/software and a number of boot, cache, etc tweaks. Do some research, learn about many of the optimizations available, and you can be happy.
I will wait for cyanogenmod...
