Hi 2 all just had a little question. I love aosp roms but I don't have good service signals. I'm sticking with a touchwiz rom but want to make my status bar aosp looking. Does anyone know any way to do it for the gs4? Thanx for all your help. Here is a picture of what it looks like after I used wanam xposed but can't figure out how to remove the quick settings toggles completely. Thanx again sorry if it's a noob question
Anyone had any suggestions for me?

Hey, before I flashed a Kit Kat ROM I was using CM 10.2 running Android 4.3.1 and came across a great way to make your status bar transparent, completely black, or any color you like, etc. All the directions are in here and it does require a rooted device, which I'm guessing you have. Here's the link to what I used, best of luck! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316070
Thanx for great answer but I was asking about doing this on a touchwiz rom. I like aosp roms more but I tried 3 different ones and I didn't have the same signal strength as I did with touchwiz roms including data speeds being a lot slower. I just want to get rid of the stupid quick toggles that touchwiz put in the status bar if you can help me that would be great.Thanx for the help again

This should work on a Touchwiz Rom, but I don't know about how you would remove the quick toggles, sorry I misunderstood you :/

Is there any means to extend the wallpaper underneath the Status Bar and Softkeys? I dislike the black banding, especially under the Softkeys. I know Paranoid Android does this but one reason I bought a Nexus was to get out of ROMs--plus I'd rather not waste space on ROM backups.
I have root and the willingness to muck about in the system APKs.
Bump.

Or, I could ask and see if any developer who already knows how this is done in Paranoid Android will tell me.
I would like to do this as well... is it possible without a custom ROM?
it needs framework modifications, but mods exist. evilisto made one if i remember that right.
i dunno why you would want one over a rom though. makes no sense. roms on nexus base on aosp and official vendors blobs. what you get is stock android plus features. you cannot compare it to roms on legacy devices which emulate android, need hacks and exploits.
ps. PA has per app coloring. this goes way past simple transparent bar on the homescreen.

Hey,
I was curious to see if anyone had seen any ROM's that still had some of the Galaxy S4's feature in with it, but maybe changed the way the phone looked/worked. Such as giving a stock android like feel and look to the phone but still allowing the feature that the phone has, such as the air view, smart stay and the multi window.
I haven't seen anything about but i was just wondering if anyone had seen anything or heard of anything like this maybe happening because it would be awesome for this to happen
Thanks in advance
You haven't looked very hard have you
Just download any touchwiz based Rom and then flash a theme. Domination theme by Vertimus is in themes and apps section and it's an awesome AOSP theme. Check it out

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.

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

Great find
I found something similiar, involved editing xml files after decompiling sytemUI, but for an older Android version, so it didn't work. I will decompile his file and check for differences.
I'm currently working on modifying the systemUI.xml of my PA rom which should work on most AOSP roms. I'm trying to adjust icon dimensions to allow for a larger signal strength icon to simulate the new ios7 dot style signal strength icon. Not that relevant... But while I'm there I'll see if I can't make a simple switch sides mod.
Make a paint image or something or find a screen shot of exactly what you want or what side and such. I don't want to forget icons.

It says: ''I'm going to show you to properly center the clock using the xml found in stock Sony Timescape ICS but the principles can be applied to pretty much any rom on any device.''
So i think that could be done in any other roms. I will try it in PA

I think you have to decompile the system ui and edit it then push it back to system. There is a mod though for galaxy s4 that coverts the icons to ios style.
