pendo,

could you tell me where the second mod is to get the transparent statusbar besides the change in StatusBarService.smali (const/4 v5, -0x3)?

rather than bug you to update kf1;) thx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
@pendo,

Finally I successfully copied your systemUI.apk under the system/app folder and renamed the old apk, but after doing that, this happened. I am back on with the old .apk atm. I am on XWKE8, rooted. What's the problem?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pugsid:
Had same problem. Replace the system ui.apk with original.. Attached in above posts
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
You mean I have to delete the old systemUI.apk, right?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pugsid:
Just download the systemui.apk found in above posts and replace it in /sdcard/system/app/

Done. You will get ur default one back.. worked for me:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Would someone try this zip for me? It's the TransBlue Market, but without the fullscreen (so you can see the statusbar). The Market app is good, but I need to know if the updater script works with the CWM version you guys have.

TransBlueMarket-v2.2.1-Vending2.3.6.zip
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Oops..I already copied the default .apk and taskbar is back in black, I thought you were talking about the Transparent one!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
What's the purpose of that .zip? What'd it do?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
pendo, not working on 4.0.0.2. but maybe a problem with the recovery. other things weren't flashing as well. I'm going to try an older recovery and get back to you;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I've been wanting to ask about that because in my short absence I'm a little confused as to what everybody is using. That's good to know.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
everytime there is a new rlease I try ALWAYS your systemUI.apk to test about transparent statusbar and post result :)

only a thing : the statusbar became "white" when you go inside app (like market download etc. etc) . any ideas to resolve this small issue ?

anyway, IMHO your transparent statusbar is the best !!!!

:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
I'll go test it now. I'm on clockwork 3.0.0.5.

Brb.

Edit : it worked perfect. Nice little flashable zip you got there too.

I think its ready for front page action.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
pendo, nice work. I got it to work on 4.0.0.2...but not chainfire's kernel, wouldn't flash on his:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nigolo:
The SmoothC Circle Battery Mod don´t work on the Litening Rom 1.4 KE7.

It crashes the launcher. Can you plz edit the battery mod for the Litening Rom 1.4.

thx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
@Pendo- Buddy can you tell me why the mod of yours didn't work on mine? I am on rooted XWKE8 with CF Kernel. I've posted the messed up screenshot of my Status bar on last page. Please have a look at that.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
This is actually a side effect of a transparent statusbar I'm afraid. The apps that have a default white window background will cause this. The window background attribute for an app is determined in it's manifest by way of a theme. If a theme is not declared then it uses the system default theme. The Market declares "Theme.Light" in which the window background is white.

So really the only way to "fix" those instances would be to not have a transparent statusbar, or go in and modify each individual app that has the issue :-/

cool, thanks friend!

hm...can you post your output from "adb shell df -h" Just the first 7 or 8 lines should be enough.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davey.tran:
Hey pendo I can't find the blue android wallpaper in your screen shots.

Can you upload for me please?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
i moved on...read something there was a problem with an early release of his version. anyways it is all good now (running 4.0.0.5)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
K thanks :) I went ahead and made a separate thread for my Market. It really should be in it's own spot me thinks :p

Did you make sure to delete SystemUI.odex also?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iCEION:
May I ask which clock widget you are using here?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
lite'ning kf1

pendo can you do your magic on these? specifically aosp battery w/percentage and transparent notification bar.:p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
I can confirm that the KE7 battery framework-res.apk is NOT working on villainROM 1.4 KF2 build, it put me into a boot loop =\

Pendo, are you planning on supporting the KF2 build? I absolutely cannot live without this mod.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I think you're talking about the wallpaper that is in esk02k's screenshots. It does look familiar but I can't place it off the top of my head. He will probably chime in though :)

That is Fancy Widgets, and I forget the name of the actual skin. I prefer Fancy Widgets over Beautiful Widgets, but BW is still nice as well.

sure thing, but it'll be a bit later as I'm walking out the door, and don't have any set time I have to be back :p lol.

Sure, but you're behind OG in line :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
I uploaded the framework-res.apk for you from KF2 VR1.4

If it makes a difference, I like the default battery with the percentage inside it best; beggars can't be choosers, but if I were to choose one I'd go with that one.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Here ya go!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Oops! Sorry ogdobber...

I think I messed up....I grabbed the aosp themed icons for SystemUI, too, and after going back to check it looks like you already had some theming going on there. Here's your SystemUI again, but I left *most* of you're icons alone lol. I tried to copy the wifi strength color to your "fully" signal strength indicators and also gave you a transparent shade, too.

Let me know if you need me to put them in a zip for ya
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry for the delay. Don't worry, it's normal for me to be slow like this :p

Here ya go! If you don't have clockwork just extract frame-res from the zip and push however you normally would.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Hey :)

Sorry for the noobquestion, but is this the translucent bar for KF2? Or just the battery mod?

Is there a chance of getting a completely transparent KF2 bar (VillainROM 1.4)? :D

:) Biggest THX ever :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
possible to have a screenshot for to see new wifi in color ?

tks mate ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
thanks, I don't know if I necessarily "like" the theme I have...just something different;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
lol...I was just editing the post cause I didn't know for sure if it was clear who that was for.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, I'm a bit behind here in this thread. I'm not sure what firmware the 2 files I just did for ogdobber are from. The file I attached earlier for horserider is supposed to be from KF2 VR1.4. But it is only the battery mod, no transparent status or other aosp style icons.

I'm heading in to work right now, but when I get back I think I'll actually be able to get back to the blue theme a bit. I don't know for sure yet (need to test just a bit more) but I might've found a trick to get my edited manifest back into Vending without causing the fc's that some (including me) have had. So far it looks good and no fc's, but need to test a bit first.

Not real easy for me to do atm....you could just download the attachment and open it up with a zip manager. The icons are all in the drawable-hdpi folder. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
pendo, they are from Lite'ning rom v1.4 (KF1)

*should work on any deodexed kf1 or any other by deleting odex
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:
As this is from deodexed VR1.4 (KF2), will it work on odexed stock KF2? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
the battery worked just fine =] if I had a credit card I would donate XD
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
it probably should since framework-res.apk doesn't have an odex
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:
Well it didn't :p I guess every single app on the phone force closed. Restored my backup and everything is fine again ;) Lovely battery though

Edit: And all my sync accounts disappeared.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] luckyjun85:
My i known the bug like status bar icon is what?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Yes you can use a modified framework-res on an odexed rom. I've done it personally with my mother's inspire before there were any deodexed roms out for it. You can, in fact run deodexed apps as well, but you have to delete the odex file when you replace the apk with a deodexed apk.

Did you stop core when you tried to apply the framework-res? Framework-res.apk MUST be applied with core stopped. It's most common for people to do this either by flashing a zip in recovery, or by usind 'adb push' while in recovery. Me personally, I just stop core using "adb shell stop" then push what I need to and restart with "adb shell start"

The bug icon is shown to indicate that you have usb debugging enabled. You should be able to hide the icon if you don't care for it....go to settings>development and uncheck the USB debugging notify.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:
Yes, I stopped the shell using "adb shell stop". Perhaps I can request a modified version of the stock (odexed) KF2 framework.res.apk with AOSP battery with % only?. Not looking for any other icons than the AOSP battery, so I take it you only need the framework.res.apk? See attached file. Thanks in advance, Pendo. No problem if you don't have the time ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Here ya go. You'll notice that the attached file size is quite a bit smaller, and that's becuase apktool is compressing resources.arsc. If you have problems with that file, try this one in which I've uncompressed resources.arsc (too big for upload:)):

uncompressed_arsc-framework-res.apk

But try the attached version first.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:
Thanks so much, Pendo :) Attached version works just fine ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
I installed the translucid statusbar over Cognition 1.06, I had a black screen and freezing (had to pull battery), but the translucid works.

Then an hour later I was using Nexus Torch app using the led light as torch and after 1 minute...BAM again black screen and unresponsive phone :eek:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] almorsol:
Hi guys.

I am finding this steps way to dificult to follow.

Isn't there another way to accomplish this without having to do all that command prompt thing?

Like an application that will allow us to change the icons on the status bar?

Or, is there an explanation for dummies?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
Ok retested the torch light app and it will kill the SGS2 if the screen goes off while the led is ON.

So it's a matter of conflict between the Pendo's statusbar framework and torch app...should try the video light too
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
No problem :)

Yikes :eek: Honestly, off the top of my head I have no idea what might be causing that. All of the statusbar tweaks are done in SystemUI.apk. I really can't imagine it being in the code cause all I changed was the pixel format value.

Are you 100% sure that it's my SystemUI that's causing it? Have you added any other apps/mods recently?

Not really an application to change the icons like you want. Later, we might see some other options for dynamic theming, similar to the Tmobile Theme engine that Cyanogen has merged with. There's also metamorph, I suppose.

Command is quite intimidating for most people at first. It was for me. I'd never, ever done anything from command until about this same time last year...and while I'm far from proficient in it, it didn't take too long to get some of the basics down (and I'm not one of the younger people around here that just "know" this stuff naturally)

I usually package stuff up in zips that you flash in recovery, but have gotten away from that a bit with this device since there wasn't a working recovery to flash from until recently. As a side effect of that, people have been 'forced' to learn adb just a little to apply most of these mods. I will be making zips to flash soon for most of my work here, but will still probably upload raw files for special requests like the recent posts.

I highly recommend you take just a little bit of time and read a little (or experiment a little, like I did) about the basics of changing directorys, removing/renaming/copying files, etc. It will be worth it, trust me. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] almorsol:
Thank you very much for your response Pendo.

I really appreciate it. And definetly, I will do some homework regarding this.

Rergards.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Hi :)

Is there a chance of getting a transparent status bar (or tranlucent) with XXKF2? (Villain 1.4)

:D :D :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
yeah, sure. I'm finishing up a couple things for my themed market and then I'll try to hammer that out for you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Awesome :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Glad you replied, lol.....It took a bit longer on the market, then I passed out. I'm downloading the rom now
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Don't hurry! A transparent bar is my biggest dream (after millions of money, etc), but it's worth waiting some hours or days no problem :D:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hopefully I was a little faster than your quest for millions :p

I'd have put it in a zip for you, but from what I could tell it looks like you're using CF's kernel which my updater script isn't working on yet. Translucent statusbar and pull down :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NitroOnTheRocks:
Ok, hoping some graphics expert has an answer to my problem.

I know this thread may not be the best place to ask, but this thread seems the most appropriate...

So I'm editing my own SystemUI.apk to have green signal icons.

I load them in GIMP, change Indexed to RGB mode, edit picture, change RGB to Indexed mode and save.

But my problem is that the final (edited) PNG is not as "smooth" as the original (see attachments: PNG1: original stock, PNG2: my edited version).

The icons look not smooth on the phone too compared to the stock icons.

Someone who knows how this comes?

How can I avoid these jagged edges?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
It isn't necessary to change the mode back to indexed, but that's not your problem. It's hard to cause the images are small, but it just looks like you have zero aliasing. Basically you need to smooth the transition a bit around your green. I'm not at my main computer and and the image editing program on this machine is one that I'm not as familiar with (Pixelmator) but here's a real quick edit of one image that should look a bit smoother on the phone. I couldn't work much with your already edited version, you'll probably need to start over on it.

And don't worry about the off topic stuff in any of my threads, a little side track here and there never hurt anybody :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bouya_k:
Waouw nice status bar transparent

But little stupid question which systemui I need to dl for the ROM Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2

Thanks in advance

If you allready reply to it slap me... I went back in the thread but didn't find it
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I don't know for sure if this would work or not, but I did make a transparent statusbar for VillainRom 1.4, which is a KF2 rom. It's attached to this post.

I would test this out for you first, but I don't have an sgs2 yet (hopefully our carriers here will release soon).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bouya_k:
Thanks for the quick reply, but unfortunately it doesn't work

I attached the systemui.apk in this post

it's possible for you to do it ?

Thanks a lot in advance

I like transparency ;)

thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sweet, thanks...forgot about that already. And after I thought about it for a second, that makes sense that the other one would not work since it's resigned like you and I were just talking about.

Ogdobber's probably filled in for me more times than anybody I think, lol. Thanks again buddy.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Sorry for telling bad news, but this isn't working. :( Wasn't able to test it for 2 days.

While WidgetLocker-Lockscreen, the bar is a liiittle translucent, but its not transparent. When at desktop, the bar is completely black. (using LauncherPro)

I love the bar beeing fully transparent. :(

(KF2 Villain 1.4)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
Pendo you are the best themer for now on SGS2 :D

The first thing I do after buying an Android phone is to install a transparent statusbar!

I am planning to change rom on Friday hoping Cognition will go into 1.08 with voodoo or else I will try a newer KF rom, your mod should work then
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
<< Edit: ADW-Launcher without Wallpaper-Hack and modding the used *.png's in SystemUI.apk gives me the completely transparent statusbar.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
Hey Pendo!

Can you do something for Exynos 1.4 rom?

I tried to use the systemui for KF2 you posted but it didn't worked!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
hello pendo,

I'm sure a rush of request will be coming on this one soon...2.3.4 XXKG1 stock rom;)

aosp battery with percentage and icons also clear statusbar:D

thanks so much
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] a5ian300zx:
Hi,

would the work on kf3? also wants the simplest way to install it? copy and paste into correct folder?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] OrangePillow:
would it work in villain rom?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
First off...this:

lolol....I sure hope not! I'm not that great of a themer. I sometimes will have a popular mod or two, but when it comes to the real theming...guys like manup/jairomeo/scabes24/etc....I don't have the knack for that ;)

But thanks anyway :p

Yep, I forgot to remind folks about that. SPB Shell 3D also won't display it.

I'll certainly try to do this, but I likely won't be back at my main dev rig until the end of the week. Just depends on how this week goes. Been pretty busy lately (hence my lack of presence as of late).

I doubt my existing files would work....I don't have an sgs2 to test any of these either so you'd have to either try it for yourself or wait until I can get a chance to work on it (may be a litle bit)

I thought there was one in the previous posts somewhere for VR...version 1.4 I think.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] XDA mark:
I downloaded the circle battery mod for KE2. I used Root Explorer, copy the file and paste it in system/app, checked the first permission to rw, second and third to r...rebooted.

No change at all. Still the same. What am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
I tried to build a systemui for 2.3.4 with a modded png and Pendo's xml from KE7 but no success this time :(

The file output is 268k while the original one is 293k!!!

There must be some files that apktool didn't catch
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
Hy pendo. When come the AOSP battery/w percent for kg1? Thx.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Translucent...hm...a completely clear bar would be nice. Only the icons and the wallpaper. and a little black line (attached pic from my 2.3.3), cant remember how i've done it :(:(

This for Villain 2.3.4 KG1 would be the absolute dream :D:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
It's really weird!

I modded the statusbar smali file and the xml as we did for previous versions but no success!

Even injecting directly the xml from Pendo's work couldn't help!

UOT kitchen didn't help too...

It will FC the statusbar, perhaps they added a third file xml or something in KG1 to make things more difficult :eek:

Tried with Infusion without success :(

Here's the systemui file from KG1:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I'm hoping to get back home late tonight sometime....there's a ton of requests I'm behind on now from this impromptu trip I had to take. I guess there's a new Market version out, so updating those themes is on the list now too :o

Apktool uses a more efficient compression setting and will produce a smaller file. The difference wasn't as large until recently as apktool didn't use to compress resources.arsc. There are reports of this causing problems for some roms, and decompressing resources.arsc has fixed it. The easiest way to do this is to extract the resources.arsc file from your finished apk then reinject them with your zip manager (make sure your settings are to 0 compression or store)

You'll have to hang in there a bit as I'm still not back to where I can really work on stuff.

There's very little difference between a translucent and a fully transparent statusbar. There's probably a couple ways to do that black line, but if I were trying to replicate that, I'd probably just create my own statusbar_background.9.png.

There's the smali edits to statusbar.smali

There's the edits to status_bar.xml and stats_bar_tracking.xml (last one's for the transparency in the shade)

Depending on how you edited the xml, you might need to modify png's.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
I will be patient:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Just a quickie post as I *just* got back in town and have a bit of work and school work to do (probably put the work stuff off for a day or two though :D) but I wanted to let you guys know I was at least thinking about you all. :)

I know there's others waiting on this, but I quoted ogdobber since I used these files to base this off of. I'm not sure which rom these came out of but I'm assuming stock firmware, primarily since it was still odexed.

Here's a deodexed SystemUI.apk---meaning you must delete SystemUI.odex if you want to use it. If it works the way I hope, you'll have a translucent statusbar that's 30% transparent, which matches the 30% transparency level in the dropdown shade I also put in. og...I used your close handle from last time :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stuffx:
Why does it always have to be xx% transparent...dunno if some wallpapers looks better or worse with xx%, but my wallpaper is looking great with a CLEAR bar (100% transparent)...pls pls pls!!!!! :):):):):D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
pendo, thanks

btw, the systemui and framework-res I posted was from I9100XXKG1 (stock rom)

I know its get confusing because all the custom roms usually aren't compatible because of there "custom" tweaks

*edit works great, like the new look (for now;))

just pull the statusbar, throw it in gimp and set the opacity to 0. there is no need to sign it when done;)
