[Tutorial] How to make Statusbar into transparent

Hi guys, I didn't see a thread for this, though this is not mine
I'm only sharing this with you guys
Credit: http://dadroidrd.blogspot.com
I just copied and pasted for your ease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome back ..This time I'll make a tutorial about "how to make your statusbar transparent", there may be some of you already using it but whether you know how to make it? In this edition I will peel out heee ..
This tutorial can be used for any type of android version except for version 4.0.xx "icecreamsandwich"
Step 1
To practice his or her course we have the materials and ingredients that are SystemUI.apk that is in the rom you are using where is it?? Find in / system / app / SystemUI.apk using root explorer or ADB pull
Step 2
Put in place to modify SystemUI.apk APK read the tutorial "how to use apkmanager for beginners" to apkmanager us to understand when it's the next step
Step 3
- Select the apk antecedent modif SystemUI.apk
- Press 19 input numbers 1
- Press 20 input numbers 512
- Decompile apk
- Now go into the project folder here we will begin its tutorial
Step 4
Go to the project folder / SystemUI.apk / smali / com / android / systemui / statusbar / StatusBarService.smali
For more easy in its use was editing application "Notepad + +" (download your own)
StatusBarService.smali is now open with "Notepad + +" then look for this string
” const/4 v5, 0x2
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;->(IIIII)V”
Chose with
” const/4 v5, -0x3
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;->(IIIII)V”
like this picture
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 5
find file Status_bar.xml in
projects / SysyemUI.apk / res / layout/Status_bar.xml open with “notepad++”
And find this string
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" androidaddingLeft="6.0px" androidaddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Then Chose with this new strings
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2" androidaddingLeft="6.0px" androidaddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Step 6
Then rename "statusbar_background.9.png" in projects/SytemUI.apk/drawable- (ldpi / mdpi / hdpi /) / statusbar_background.9.png be "statusbar_background2.9.png"
Then create a transparent icon with the same size as "statusbar_background2.9.png" then rename the icon that you have created such a "statusbar_background.9.png"
To more easily look this picture
then Compile apk (if you do not understand read the tutorial "how to use apkmanager for beginners")
go to folder keep deleted files (resources.arsc, clases.dex, statusbar.xml, and statusbar_background.9.png) then press enter on the CMD apkmanager.
***** If an error when compiling apk do it this way: look back to projects/SytemUI.apk/drawable- (ldpi / mdpi / hdpi /) / and then rename the "statusbar_background.9.png" to "statusbar_background.png" and rename " statusbar_background2.9.png "to" statusbar_background2.png "then compile again *****
Step 8
Take SystemUI.apk who have completed our last edit in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" on apkmanager with unsignedsystemui.apk name, then rename it to SystemUI.apk and it can be used to gadgets you.
Tips: how well it's good to use SystemUI.apk made into update.zip and flash through the recovery / CWMrecovery. But if you can not make update.zip please push SystemUI.apk it into / system / app / using root explorer, but this way is likely to lead to error
This tutorial is already proven and successful, but if something goes wrong then it is not the fault of this tutorial because this tutorial has been made with the best

wewww..nice info and long step

For my cm7 status bar I used

although it should work on stock roms too
Follow guide 1 - its simple just requires add smali and line in status_bar_expanded where you want the header
The header will look like screenshot but without the brightness slider or icon and iv also modded the clear button too so you wont have that - will just be date and time

This is why you cant blindly follow guides - you must have some level of understanding and be able to adapt code to your needs
you can try just putting this
under
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.ExpandedView android:orientation="vertical" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
put
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarJellyHeaderView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
put the smali in the given location in the guide
dunno if it will work - if not follow the other more complicated guide for stock roms
without an understanding of what you are doing and how to fix any compiling errors and so on you will not succed - especially if you try guide 2 because you will get errors unless you manage to do everything perfect first time

you should already have the smali if you have lidroid - I was just providing it as a reference if you dont or its different
search for a guide - I cant spoon food you everything - You will have to learn to search and do things yourself - sorry
As a clue - you remove a line from the app you want to hide in androidmanifest.xml and you add some lines into settings apk in xml/settings.xml

[Guide]Theme your framework-res to Xperia style for all [Just copy and past ;)]

Hi all, here's how to theme you framework-res to looks like an Xperia device.
Your devices must be running any rom with android 4.4.#
Maybe it will work on another android versions. If you would like test it change "values-19" to values-"your api level"".
You can check it for some devices here:
Xperia 2011 devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2724091
Galaxy W: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761964
Moto G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/xperia-framework-res-motog-4-4-4-t2841985
Xperia V: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-t-v/themes-apps/xperia-framework-res-cm11-cm-11-t2830401
Requirements:
APK Tool. I recommend you to use VTS
The Guide:
Get your framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ and decompile it.
Delete "drawable-mdpi", "drawable-hdpi", "drawable-xhdpi" and "drawable-xxhdpi" from /res.
Download my resources zip and extract it.
Copy all resources to /res folder and replace.
Recompile.
Make a flashable zip and flash it.
Wipe catch and dalvik catch and reboot.
Enjoy
If you're running CM11 with last theme engine flash THIS ZIP so you can get all Xperia themes.
If you done this or used any of my resources please add my name to you post.

Excellent :good:

Hi all, here's how to theme you framework-res to looks like an Xperia device.
Your devices must be running an AOSP Rom or based on AOSP Rom with android 4.4.x
It will fits great on CM11 too.

Xperia V: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-t-v/themes-apps/xperia-framework-res-cm11-cm-11-t2830401
Requirements:
APK Tool. I recommend you to use VTS
Text editor like Notepad++
The easy way:
Write a post here with a link of the Rom you're using or only attach framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ and I'll make it for you
The other way:
Get your framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ and decompile it.
Make a copy of "res" folder anywhere you can remember so we can use it as a backup in next steps.
Delete "drawable-mdpi" and drawable-xhdpi" from /res if you have them.
Download my resources zip and extract it.
You can delete some useless drawables up to your device. It's optional and you can jump to next step:
mdpi devices: keep drawable-mdpi and drawable-hdpi and delete drawable-xhdpi and drawable-xxhdpi
hdpi devices: keep drawable-hdpi and delete drawable-mdpi, drawable-xhdpi and drawable-xxhdpi
xhdpi devices: keep drawable-xhdpi and drawable-xxhdpi and delete drawable-mdpi and drawable-hdpi
xxhdpi devices: keep drawable-xxhdpi and delete drawable-mdpi, drawable-hdpi and drawable-xhdpi
Copy the resources inside the extracted folder to /res on the framework which you've just decompiled.
Recompile your framework.
At most you'll get some errors. If recompiled successfully jump to step 17
The errors will be at most around public.xml talking about styles. If there's any other error tell me.
Read the error and it will say that an style in public.xml isn't available and it will give you the line number.
Open public.xml from /res/values/ and go to that line.
Copy the name of that style.
Go back to the old res folder that you've copied in step 2 and open styles.xml from /res/values/
Press Ctrl + F and past the name of that missing style.
Find it and copy it to the new styles.xml.
Recompile and every thing should be OK. If not tell me.
Make a flashable zip or use aroma file manager to copy it to your phone's /system/framework/
Wipe catch and dalvik catch and reboot.
If your device can't boot then you need to format /data (factory reset)
Having any other problems? tell me. Everything is great? Hit thanks and enjoy
If you done this or used any of my resources please add my name to you post.

I just ported to my MTK5692 Kitkat device. everything work well !

<View android:id="@id/statusbar_hr" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_hr" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/notification_panel_header_divider_height" />
Move this code in below:

Decompile framework-res.apk
res/values/strings
somb_btn_off (i remember) change it to O
somc_btn_on (i remember) change it to I

[Tutorial] Customize Ultra Stamina Mode

In The Name of GOD​
Hi EveryOne ​
Here's a Tutorial on How to Customize Ultra Stamina Mode!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
1.USMHome.apk
2.SuperStamina.apk
3.Notepad++ or any Editor
4.Apktool to Decompile apk
5.A Brain!
Introduction:
in order to change and customize ultra stamina mode you need two main apk: "USMHome.apk" & "SuperStamina.apk"
USMHome.apk is launcher and setting page but SuperStamina.apk control apps in ultra stamina mode
you can find both of them in System/app
Add & Remove app From Launcher:
1.Decompile "SuperStamina.apk"
2.Open res/xml/usm_packages.xml
you can see lots of code but i will explane each one them:
Code:
<package name="com.android.wallpaper" />
this code means you can't access Wallpaper App in Ultra Stamina
Code:
<package name="com.sonymobile.moviecreator" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true"
this code means you can't see Movie Creator icon app in launcher but you can run it
Code:
<package name="com.android.calendar" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true">
<launchable-activity name=".LaunchActivity" priority="50" />
</package>
this code means you can see Calendar icon app in launcher and you can run it
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.music">
<authorized-activity name=".picker.MusicPickerActivity" />
</package>
this code means you can run Walkman app but just you can play music with it and other Activities are disable
Code:
<package name="com.android.systemui" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true">
<unauthorized-activity name=".recent.RecentsActivity" />
</package>
this code means SystemUI is lunchable but you can't access Recent Button
so all you need to do is follow these patterns and you can do want you want!!!
3. i will show you some examples
for example the main code of Movies app is
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.video" />
it means the app is disabled in Ultra Stamina mode but we are going to Change it
how about adding it to launcher?
all you need to do is replace this code with previews one
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.video" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true">
<launchable-activity name=".browser.BrowserActivity" priority="110" />
</package>
I'm going to explane these codes but first lets add another app
4. lets add MXPlayer to ultra Stamina Launcher
first of all add these codes
Code:
<package name="com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true">
<launchable-activity name=".ActivityMediaList" priority="120" />
</package>
name="com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad" it's package name of application
name=".ActivityMediaList" it's main Activity (main page of MXPlayer)
authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true" it means that your application can run in Ultra Stamina
<launchable-activity it means that this activity can run but if you use <unlaunchable-activity it won't let that Activity run
priority="110" i didn't understand it well but stock numbers are till 100 and you have to add it 10------so next number is 110 and then 120 and so on....!!! (if "X" app is 110 and "Y" app is 120 so in launcher first show "X" and then "Y")
5. i told you how to add app in launcher but if you want to add lots of app i recommend you to add them n Setting
first of all you need to introduce app to Ultra stamina with step 3 and 4 but like this pattern
Code:
<package name="[B]com.sonyericsson.advancedwidget.clock[/B]" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true" />
so all you need is app package name that you can find it with MOD EDIT Rule 6 @gregbradley
after you introduce app you need to add app in setting menu
follow this ------------------>TUT<---------------------
6. now you should know how to remove app from launcher or don't let app to run in ultra stamina mode
first of all read step 2 again. you can see the patterns but i show you with some examples!!!
here I'm going to remove camera from launcher:
the main code is:
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.android.camera" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true">
<launchable-activity name=".CameraActivity" priority="30" />
</package>
you just need to change the code like this:
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.android.camera" authorizedActivitiesByDefault="true" />
but if you want to kill any Activity you must change it to:
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.android.camera" />

Change Lock Screen and Desktop Wallpaper:
1.Decompile "SuperStamina.apk"
2.Go to res Folder
depend on your Phone DPI and Res
Change the Pictures in these Folders:
480 x 854---------------------------------->drawable-sw320dp-hdpi
720 x 1280---------------------------------->drawable-sw360dp-xhdpi
1080 x 1920--------------------------------->drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi​
Add section to Setting:
1.Decompile "USMHome.apk"
2.Open res/xml/settings_headers.xml
3. in this example I'm going to add Developement Setting to Ultra Stamina Setting
first add this code
Code:
<header android:id="@id/development_settings" android:title="@string/development_settings_title" android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_development" >
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.DevelopmentSettings" />
</header>
android:id="@id/development_settings": Open res/values/ids.xml and add this code
Code:
<item type="id" name="development_settings">false</item>
android:title="@string/development_settings_title": Open strings.xml and add this code
<string name="development_settings_title">Development Settings</string>
android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_development": set the logo that is going to display in Setting
drawable-hdpi---------------------------------->48*48 Pixels
drawable-mdpi---------------------------------->32*32 Pixels
drawable-xhdpi--------------------------------->64*64 Pixels
drawable-xxhdpi-------------------------------->96*96 Pixels​
targetPackage="com.android.settings": this code shows that the Activity That we want is in setting Apk
android:targetClass="com.android.settings.DevelopmentSettings": the Activity that we want to run when we touch it in setting
you can find this in Settings.apk/res/xml/settings_headers.xml
you just need find the option that you are going to add and find the code in android:fragment then copy it to above code.
Adding Toggles to StatusBar:
1.Decompile "SuperStamina.apk"
2.Open res/values/arrays.xml
3.Find this code
Code:
<string-array name="usm_allowed_quick_settings">
<item>autorotate</item>
<item>brightness</item>
<item>sound</item>
<item>bluetooth</item>
</string-array>
3.now you can add Flashlight toggle by adding this code
<item>flashlight</item>
Hit Thanks if you find it helpful :good:​

If you have idea or you can help me to improve the TUT say it!!!
i hope you enjoy it :good:

Xposed-able?
Any chance something like this could be done with an xposed mod? As an example, you could use the mod to swap out apps of your choosing. I'm not a dev, but just curious of this was possible for someone far smarter than I.
