Sorry for not having an answer. But just to double check: I'm on rooted stock (factory image by google), too. Do you also have neither a translucent statusbar nor a coloured statusbar? E.g. my statusbar stays black while having gmail open, although it supposed to be red.

Correct, mine is working the same way...

I think the only option is to decompile /system/framework/framework-res.apk and change the appropriate lines in config.xml. If my copy of apktool didn't keep choking on framework-res.apk I would've tried (and probably failed) already.
EDIT: apktool did not decompile framework-res.apk. Until there's a working version I don't think it's going to change unless Lollipop's built from source.

Waiting for this fix too

Waiting for this too. I had translucent bars thanks to gravitybox before, they caused no smoothness issues. I dunno why google insists in keeping them disabled and make our tablet look 2012....

Like i understand there are three separated (and maybe independent) things:
1) translucent status bar (in launcher)
2) translucent navigation bar
3) colored status bar (in app)
On the first AOSP build i had 1+2. Now on factory image none is activated. Does anyone have more detailed information about how they correlate? And why the built from source version is not compatible with the factory image? Aren't there binary files generated on built which can be exchanged?

I decomplicated framework-res.apk but couldn't find config.xml

I made the change in ./frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml, built from source, and it didn't work. Then I discovered that I need to change it in ./device/samsung/manta/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml. Gonna try building from source again and see if I can get a working framework-res.apk out of the build.
Aside: man, the update package did NOT like being dirty flashed on top of what I already had installed.
EDIT: No luck. Clean flashed the OTA package that I built, and there was no translucence to be seen. If anyone has any ideas on what I might be missing I am all ears, so to speak.

Thanks for trying! I wish I knew more to be of help..

No need to wait for me anymore. Here's one with translucent decor:

total transparent lockscreen

hi all brother,
I am wondering if anyone can make a flash zip for transparent lockscreen (say, for android 2.1).
Everything is transparent, except the SENSE bridge, as shown as attached link.
h t t p://img1.imagehousing.com/80/b08ae5ef2190fb1ff793a153fe8f2090.png
So, during unlocking, only the bridge is moving down.
Thank you.

This is bull**** honeycomb theme ain't for mdpi devices.
Thank you for your kind words sir.
Why exactly this is a crappy theme? Who said that is not woring in our devices? Have you try it at all? Have you seen the pictures provided, or you just read the first Haxamatic's post where is mentioned that it is for HDPI devices and that's all? Did you try to navigate to the 180 + pages that the thread has? Have you notices that i apploded the file from RomRepo, which is suitable for MDPI devices?
Of cource you cannot like the them, but certainly you cannot express your self like that. At the end, the theme is working, if you do not know how to apply a theme read entirly the instructions. About the drop down notification bar which is transparent i cannot do anything about that. In case you don't like it simply change to another theme.
Ps: I have found a modification of the them with circle battery in the statur bar, i will upload it when i'm home along with a screenshot.
Regards.
Man this theme Makes status bar crappy

First, big thanks for taking the time to post every relevant link. im sure that took a lot of time.
the problem with the theme is it has a lot of small visual issues that for me prevents it from being my default theme. (i have tried both haxzamatic's and the ported one)
some issues i have noticed:
- notification panel looks bad
- the percentage battery icon bar is lowered
- the progress bar knob is mis aligned (notice the 4th screenshot of OP's post)
- some icons/graphics (ie wifi/signal) are a bit blurry/misaligned)
some of the issues can be reduced by playing around with the lcd density settings for the device. as mentioned here by lekhwani
My suggestion would be to fix these issues. some documentation were provided by haxzmatic. i quote him below.
I also have a theme template on github with all AOSP graphics so you can start with stock graphics. I put a ton of work in behind the scenes so we can see some awesome themes for this system. http://bit.ly/fZUZ8t

If someone would work to port this on our device to work correcty, now that would be awesome and worthy of a thousand thanks
Please try this one, and tell me if this is ok with you.

The progress bar knob is ALIGNED
The notification panel is visible now
Unfortunatelly it does not change the icons of Music, Clock-settings& internet into the new icons. They remain as Gingerbread.
The wifi/signal icons are not misaligned/this is just how the theme is.
About the percentage battery i'm working on it. Wait until afteroon.
great work!
- battery percentage looks fine in my device. (yhey!)
- i miss some graphics from haxmatic's (just my preference, for example, notice the blue background on lockscreen settings)
- would be great to also have the icons
- would be great to also have the theme apply to widgets(like the music widget)
this isnt based on haxmatic's work?
overall i'd say it works great on our device. Definitely better than most themes. kudos!
For a complete experience you have to use ADW Launcher or Launcher Ex and the dedicated theme for it (this will change the other icons).
what is with the link to the mdpi honeycomb theme?

You might want to try LCD density for Root @ market and set value's to 120 to fully enjoy this mod/theme.
Zxhian , 120 is too small for our devices, but if you say that it work, then it will.
One other theme very very good, is from our friend zdUNEX25 from the GT540 forum..

well it looks cool i really want the lock screen but it doesnt work i am running milks CM7 6.4.2 when i try to apply the theme in metamorph it just sits there saying its applying framework-res apk theme pack but never finishesor installes and the theme is self from the apk file is cool but i cant stand the status bar pull down is clear i cant read anything but other than that its cool if you could let me know what i did wrong or how to get that lock screen ????
Delete AndroidThemes folder from the sdcard and the zip. After that redownload the zip and reopen it in Metamorph.
Also do not have the phone pluged with the usb.reboot and try again,it happens sometimes.

1 st post updated with the new honeycomb theme with cirecle battery and working status bar.Optional is fonts for a complete Hoenycomb expierience!
Absolutely LOVE this theme. The only issue I have is the charging images don't show. Looked in the file and they are missing the frameworks_res_ prefix. Not sure if that's why it doesn't show or not. But other than that it's AWESOME!

Guys m in trouble with cm7.2 !!
I m using cm7.2 custom rom which does not have pre soft keys enabled.. i want to enable soft keys on status bar becoz my back button has screwed up!
So I extract my rom, and decompile framework-Res.apk and make changes to dimensions.xml by enabling softkeys to true and compiled it and flash the rom, soft keys option appears and it works!
But after restart, whole status bar disappears... it becomes complete black and softkeys still works but not visible any icon on status bar???
Plz guys, what part my missing in framework-res? ??? Is any changes shud be made to systemUI.apk also to enable softkeys ????????????
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Iv no idea if this will work but you can try flashing my cm7 status bar patch file (don't worry about flashing the theme If you don't require transparency)
the patched status bar zip might bring back your status bar

Important.....!!!
I am not responsible to any bricked devices...
Please always make a Back of of your Apps & ROM before doing anything.
Do not Blame me for any kind of issue. :crying:
Dear Buzz Fellows....
I have made a little changes in Notification Bar....that looks like Sense. It's not a theme, It's a CM7 application.
Just use the Root Explorer Copy the App to System and Change the Permissions to rw-r-r & Reboot the system.
Changes that i have made these are followings.
Notification Bar --- change the Signal Bars & Volume Icon to Sense.
---- change the CM Notification Power Widgets Icon to Sense.
And currently working in Framework ... hope, soon i will upload a framework that looks like Sense.
If you like my Work ...... Say Thanks.

Enable on-screen NavBar on Stock ROOTed Nougat? A2017U

Any way to enable the onscreen navbar on Nougat?
I used Root Browser to edit the build.prop to change the 0 at the end of this to 1 and back again
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But had no luck after reboot either way.
Any way to enable them?
It didn't work in MM because ZTE took the on screen buttons out of the framework, rather than just from the build.prop line.
I'm guessing they did the same thing in N.
needs more than just build.prop to enable on-screen key......i'll be releasing Dmix7_N (Stock Base) but on-screen keys will be disabled by default via build.prop and re-enable via build.prop
That's odd cause when I went from lineage back to stock the nav bar followed. Full wipe, full stock zip.
I have on screen working but capacitive buttons still work as well. Does anyone know of a way to turn capacitive buttons completely off and only use on screen?

My stock Rooted B15 Nougat version just has an option to activate on-screen Navbar...
Setings->Features->Navigation Keys.
Is that what you meant?

That's really weird, mine didn't have that? Only thing I had under "Navigation Keys" was the ability to swap them but not display them on screen?
I did, however, flash the vR26 Permissive kernel, and that automatically enabled the onscreen buttons......It also made Nougat much smoother
I'm running the B15 from DrakenFX.
Here's a screenshot from that setting.

Been meaning to reply to this with a screenshot from "stock rooted".. There is no option to "Always show navigation bar" in stock. Not sure if DrakenFX added that, or what?
I do know the Beast Mode Permissive kernel will enable them, and I used it for a couple weeks, but while that kernel is really smooth and I had my on-screen navbar.... My battery took a fairly huge hit, and my stock camera didn't work. So I reverted back to pure, rooted, stock.
Bumping. I want to go back to the latest stock but I won't do it without onscreen nav buttons.

Fairly easy.
When rooted open build.prop (system/)
Change ro.config.navkeys=1 to 0 (ZTE kept it by default to 1 so you don't see the setting)
Leave qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 like it is
Save, restart and you'll have your enabled nav bar on stock devices.
Btw, you can disable it through settings so you can, if you want, swype down to not see it anymore.

First do check in settings/features/navigation keys/check always ON wether it works (you can disable it afterwards by putting it on "OFF" and have the possibility to swype up or down afterwards)
Second, try swype upwards from the bottom to see the navbar.
Check also if qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 is still 0.
It should work because these are simple build.prop scripts, so test out :good:

OK. Lets try to figure it out.
Have you rebooted phone ?
Have you a G version ?
Can you upload me your build.prop pls. I'll take a look on it.

No problem. We're here to help each other out :good:
I'll give a look at your build.prop later on.
But do try the Mifavor 5.0. As I'm not mistaken, the option is built in too. So nothing to change there. And this rom is quite smooth, fast and without force closes. Perhaps try it and let me know.
Tomorrow I'll take a look at your file.

Looked into your build.prop and all should be ok. And since you installed the SLIM³ all files such as framework-res.apk and systemui.apk are overwritten in case the U models files could have been different. But as said, with all these files and your build.prop the nav bar should show up....
So for the moment i do not see an immediate solution for that matter.
As said and afaik , the Mifavor 5.0 from my rom has this nav bar build in
