"Select all of your modified PNG files and drag them back into same spot you got them from in the SystemUI.apk file in 7zip and close 7zip"

Am hving issues with go launcher ex, with this i dont see transparency in home screen, its rather 10% or semi-transparency with black color, in lock screen its clear transparent.

At times i saw full transparency in home screen, but lock/unlock made it to go back to 10% trans with black color.

If i change to AWD, even in home screen i see full transparency :(. Dont know wats going on :confused:

@matchung,

can u try installing the gingerblur-trans.apk form http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021507, and see if u see full transparent in GO lauhcher ex ?.

I guess gingerblur-trans.apk, is semi trans with black. If u see semi trans black, can u make it full trans for this gingerblur-trans.apk ?.

I did try to make gingerblur-trans.apk full trans with paint.net.

I took all statusbar* pngs from the gingerblur-trans.apk file, then opened it in paint.net, under layer window, layer properties, opacity was set 255, made it 0, this changed the image with small white_gray square pattern image, guess this is transparent image, save it as png, with bit depth auto-detect, then replaced all those statusbar* file in the original gingerblur-trans.apk, then resigned it. After installing it, still i see black bar in home screen, and full trans in lock screen, if i use live wallpapers, both home/screen lock is transparent, this is with go launcher ex,

if i use AWD, both home and lock screen is full trans :(. I dont like AWD much. Can u try and if it wrks fine on go laucnher ex, can u post the modified gingerblur-trans.apk file here plz ?

thanks for u time

NOTE: i didnt xtract gingerblur-trans.apk, just opened in winrar, tookout the png files, edited it and pushed back to gingerblur-trans.apk.

untouch theme. wanna full transparent?
[Defy Themes and Apps] hanu_blr:
@matchung, so ur seeing the semi-trans from the gingerblur-trans.apk w/o any edits, But the same is not true for me :(.

Ok do me a favour, i guess my systemUI.apk is having issues ???, can u post ur systemUI.apk here, will try flashing it and check it. I hv used the systemUI.apk files attached here, which i guess shd be fine, bcuase in ADW its full transparent, only in GO-Lau-Ex its not transparent in homescreen, but ok in lockscreen.

I even tried clearing chache/devlik cache, still no luck :( will try reinstall go-lau-ex, and see, if not factory reset and check.

Meanwhile can u make apk with some patten, bcause full transparent will make reading text tough!

thanks for ur time

[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Hey krd_medico (or anyone) how are you?

Your trick of pushing the SystemUI.apk through terminal worked well for me on CM7-JordanRC1.5 (Moto Defy) but it doesn't work on the latest nightly (cm7-111004-1128-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip). I get problems with battery indicator icon and many other statusbar icons on both a CM7 default theme or my moded theme.

I'd really like to move on from RC1.5 and go to that recent nightly with a transparent status bar...

I've tried creating a new SystemUI.apk with the patcher from here, but like for RC1.5, I still get a black status bar no matter what (with the created statusbar_patch.zip or pusing the resulting SystemUI.apk through Terminal).

Could you please be kind enough to provide me with a working SystemUI.apk?

Thanks a lot.

EDIT: OK nevermind, matchung was kind enough to supply me with the SystemUI that I needed. Thanks matchung

[] AL [] posted a good summation of how to get this working in the CM7 thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18147502&postcount=12432
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
What I've posted there was an alternative way for inexperienced users to push the SystemUI.apk directly into their CM7 nightly zip and flash it through custom recovery (instead of using Terminal and RootExplorer and have to reboot 1 or 2 times).

And I don't think it will be very useful here...

The 'hard' part is to get the SystemUI modified not to push it on the phone...

And my other post (with my tweaked theme attached) basically repeats what was explain in the OP of this very thread...

But thanks tlongren and I'm glad if my posts were of any help to you.
[Defy Themes and Apps] krd_medico:
Actually I think that you should try the method I have mentioned in my first post to generate your own SystemUI.apk for each nightly.I know it looks very lengthy and complicated but trust me once you get a feel of it you will realize that it is quite easy and you will be able to get the job done in much less time in your subsequent attempts.That method is reliable and if followed correctly will work with any new nightly. Just go through the process once, you will be able to generate all your subsequent systemui.apk

[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
I've been editing a few CM7 nightly builds already and it only takes me a couple of minutes to do it now. So thanks krd_medico for this thread and the suggestions.

But that being said, I would bring some changes to your OP...

This part:

• Search for .line 1519, the line just under it should read: const/4 v5, -0×3. If it does not, but instead reads const/4 v5, 0×1 or const/4 v5, 0×2, change it.

• Search for invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V; a line above you should see const/4 v5, 0×2. Change it to const/4 v5, -0×3 also

Could be replaced by only this:

Change code line#2209

from

: const/4 v5, 0×2

to

: const/4 v5, -0×3

...since there is no such thing as the first bullet point above (• Search for .line 1519...) in CM7-Jordan. ;)

The code line #s can be viewed by using a better text editor than just the basic Notepad; something like Notepad++ is recommended.

Otherwise people should only do the 2nd bullet point anyway.

And finally, as an alternative to pushing

SystemUI.apk

back into system/app folder with Terminal on a running phone [and somehow succeed in rebooting between two force close bootloops ..and then, set permissions and reboot again] <-- all this not mentioned to clearly in the OP either...

--> people could just simply replace the modified SystemUI.apk directly in

(a copy of) the CM7 nightly zip and then (re)install it the normal way in custom recovery...

Just my 2 cents here, but so many people ask about this stuff that I'm about to write an instructions guide myself... I send them here for now anyway...

Cheers and thanks again.
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Wow OK quite an answer!

I hope I did not offend you with my last post; it sure does seem like it.

I agree with pretty much with all of your remarks and sorry if my suggestions/additional infos seemed not needed from you here.

I was just trying to make things easier and save the trouble for others who would like to try it.

And like in all my previous posts here: I'm am very thankful to you for having posted this thread.

- -

Yes, backups of the complete build AND of the files someone is planing to change should always be performed before attempting any mod...
[Defy Themes and Apps] krd_medico:
Hey I'm not offended at all.I've nothing against your post. Actually I think I should have clarified these points in my OP itself. Thanks for pointing that out and now the new visitors of this thread will be aware of the prerequisite knowledge to proceed with the instructions. I'm going to edit my OP.Also if you can compile a more detailed guide covering all the points you are most welcome.So that even noobs can use it. As long as it makes things easier for others I am happy.I must mention that all your posts have been very well written and you have always given credit where it's due (something that quite a few people don't do).I really appreciate members like you.

I would also like to clarify that I have no Problems with your suggestion to include the new changes in the OP. But for that guys like you will have to help me out because I have modified the RC1.5 with modules from boot wifi and my system is now running without any issues.So, I haven't updated or tried any latest nightly and also don't intend to do so in the foreseeable future. So, only way I can update info about them is if you can post instructions about how to do so- Then I can mention it separately in the OP(may be cut paste your post- So be clear)

The suggestion to use notepad++ is also good and will be included in the OP

One more very important point I feel that since this method is applicable to all roms and will be useful to almost all seeking to change their notification bar ,it has universal application and THIS THREAD SHOULD BE MADE STICKY. There aren't any sticky threads in the themes and apps section and I feel this is closest to any thread which needs to be made sticky.The moderator I feel has to use discretion rather than oversimplify and overgeneralise what needs to be made sticky and what not- like FAQs only etc? If he is so much bound by these over-simplistic rules then I guess even a computer or a smartphone can do his job and there's no need to have him as a moderator.I'm saying this because I would hate it if people missed this thread and had to search the internet for info that's already there.
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Well, I'm glad to hear that and thanks for your good words.

I must admit that after verification, I was partially wrong on my previous post in regard to "...since there is no such thing as the first bullet point above (• Search for .line 1519...) in CM7-Jordan". The code

DO

exist and is at line 5432 [see pic attached]. Since the first time I did the mod, I must have forgotten that it was ok by default in the recent nightly builds and took for granted that there was only one line change to be done... me bad!

As for a new guide, i'll see what I can do on this when I find some time for it. But your OP is not that bad at all as it is. Hey! even I could follow it successfully, so...

I've also thought at some point that RC1.5 would be my personal CM7 final release because it was so close to perfection. I've thought the same way about prior builds as well after tweaking a few their modules (wifi, camera, aGPS, among others) myself. But it's hard to resist to the temptation of nightly builds and all their new options and improvements for too long...

BTW, I've passed the idea of including the transparent notification bar into CM7-Jordan to the devs also. So we'll see on that...

Sticky.. I have no clue on this. But I would imagine that none of our last long posts here would be very useful to its thread. A clean start from scratch with a new OP might be favorable... Anyhow, let's see, I might just send you a PM with ideas and/or new guidelines eventually...

Cheers

Edit:

Just went back to OP and saw that you've made some changes: good-good!.

On the point 4) on top though: I don't know if re-signing the nightly zip after the SystemUI replacement is really needed. I've personally skipped that part and every installation worked properly. I've asked that specific question (resigning mandatory or not?) to Epsylon3, but got no answer on it...

At risk of sounding stupid would this work on the stock Froyo root'd ?

.....Anyone ??
[Defy Themes and Apps] krd_medico:
I Can't be 100% sure because I haven't tried it myself on rooted froyo

(I am using cm7) but I guess IT SHOULD WORK!

You will have to take a risk. Make sure you have 2ndinit recovery installed and do a nandroid back-up before you try. If anything goes wrong: Pull battery,put it back on,restart, enter 2ndinit recovery by pressing volume down button as soon as the led turns blue and restore your nandroid backup.

Kindly post your result: success or failure if you decide to try. So that others may know. Good luck.

In case anyone doesn't want to go through all the trouble of editing SystemUI.apk, here is a semi-transparent edit of the apk from the 11.11.11 7.1.0-11 stable release.

If you don't like typing commands into Terminal, it can be installed with ES File Explorer (with read/write root enabled) or Root Explorer by simply copying the file from your sdcard and pasting it over the original SystemUI.apk in /system/app. Then pull the battery and restart.

Thanks again for the guide! In the latest nightly (120102.0338), there is no ".line 1519" in the StatusBarService.smali file, but the relevant bit of code seems to be at .line 1523, and it doesn't need to be changed.

Just change the line above invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V, as explained in krd_medico's awesome guide, and you're good to go.

[Defy Themes and Apps] Proverbs2:
For months, I've been using this method to make my status bar transparent. I just updated from Maniac's September 14th CM7 build to his latest CM7 nightly, and used the same procedure as always to modify the status bar. This time, however, the status bar stays black on the homescreen, but it's transparent everywhere else (on the lockscreen and in every app). Any idea why the transparency isn't working on the homescreen? Could there be another png file in SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ that I need to edit, besides the ones that start with “status_bar” and "statusbar"?

I know that many do not like the Pentile display on the Bionic, but I have to say it is the best phone display I have ever had in direct sun light. There is no more having to put your back to the sun and cup your hands around the display to show others your pictures or what ever it is you are wanting to show someone else that is on your display. I am truly amazed at how visible it is in direct sun light. I use SPB Shell 3D as my home launcher and I actually get comments on how bright and colorful my display is. I don't miss the display on my Droid Incredible or my OG Droid any more. I would keep this phone for just this reason alone, since I'm out in the sun most of the time with my job any way. But let me be honest there are a bunch of other reason I love this phone not just for the super bright no problem to read in the blazing Georgia sun display.

I have a TF101 S/N B60 and it has terrible GPS sync. It is always "searching for GPS" in Google Maps. With GPS Status, it shows low(er than my phone) S/N values and I am guessing that is why it has trouble locking.

I am on stock 8.6.5.9. I have rooted and un-rooted and have seen no difference in this aspect. If there is a ROM that is better in this respect, I would be interested. I have read one thread that claims that the TF was 'better' with HC 3.1 instead of HC 3.2. I find that hard to believe, but am willing to try just about anything, especially if it leads to an improvement.

Hi.

I had "Android 3.2" installed on the "Asus Eee PC 1000H".

This version works properly.

Unfortunately the keyboard does not work. I can only use the arrow keys so that I can display set to landscape mode. If a text entry is required, then the "keyboard Android" is displayed.

There is a version for Android 2.2 "eee PC".

Unfortunately, this version Laggy.

But there is in the folder / lib / modules / an "eee kernel" folder. There you can find the drivers folder. I can copy but not copy it into version 3.2. I think the drivers are in the System.sfs. And there is at my end.

I tried to install the driver through the "Debug Mode", but unfortunately there was nothing.

Here is the driver: - are not permitted -

I give "sh Makefile" and it creates a work folder and a few files. But it is very much errors. He can not find the file. etc.. Possibly I'm missing the SU. I have "ginger break apk" tried, but unfortunately there is no reboot.

When I plug in a USB keyboard, then the USB keyboard works.

In debug mode the netbook keyboard works.

Do you know a solution?

With friendly greetings EKI

Sorry for google translate.

Leider funktioniert die Tastatur nicht. Ich kann nur die Pfeiltasten benutzen, damit ich das display in den Landscapemodus setzen kann. Wenn eine Texteingabe gefordert wird, dann wird die "Android Tastatur" eingeblendet.

Es gibt eine Android 2.2 Version für den " eee PC".

Leider ist diese Version Laggy.

Aber dort ist im Ordner /lib/modules/ ein "eee Kernel" Ordner. Dort kann man den Ordner drivers finden. Ich kann den kopieren, aber nicht in die Version 3.2 kopieren. Ich glaube, die Drivers sind in der System.sfs. Und dort ist bei mir Ende.

Ich habe versucht den Treiber über "Debug Mode" zu installieren, aber leider ging da gar nichts.

Hier ist der Treiber: - are not permitted -

Ich gebe "sh Makefile" ein und es erstellt einen Work Ordner und ein paar Dateien. Aber es kommt sehr viel Errors. Er kann die Datei nicht finden. usw.. Evtl fehlt mir die SU. Ich habe "GingerBreak apk" ausprobiert, aber leider gibt es kein neustart.
