Success! Transparent with 1%. On 4.0.2.

Sent from my Full AOSP GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
Hi og, thanks for finally chiming in ;-)

I guess I can start a new thread, but will probably do so when I get done with the little write-up. The intent is to give decent enough instructions so folks can tweak it themselves.

Don't know if you saw, but I changed the opacity on the menu bar to match the bottom of the gradient thats the background of the "hotseat" area of launcher2. I haven't seen any screenshots of it so don't know how it looks though. Also, it might be possible to keep the translucent menu bar with a lwp, just need to look into it.

@kerberos7,

Yes, it's quite possible to do. Truth be told, it was really only done by accident during my initial attempts......I got a little overzealous when seeing android:background="ff000000", lol. I'm sure you can tell that there's requests for several different configurations right now. It is not my intent to start fulfilling a lot of requests with this mod. I'm not in a position where I could commit to something like that. I'm much more interested in helping you learn how to do this yourself ;) (tutorial is coming along kinda slow with everything else going on. But I'm working on it.)

Now we need it for 4.0.3! Lol I miss transparent :(

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
Hi guys. Sorry I haven't responded sooner...I have good excuses, really I do. :) Along with the holiday craziness, I really needed to update my transparent market theme for 3.4.4. Actually I was supposed to do that before I worked on the statusbar originally, lol. Anyway I had to get that done and it took longer than I'd hoped (usually does, lol)

Now I've started back on my "journal" (don't really want to call it a tutorial) as to how I did the edits. I compiled a SystemUI for 4.0.3 a couple days ago for og to try, but he reported that it fc'd. However, I didn't have a full ics build before building just SystemUI so that likely was the cause. I'm getting ready to start compiling the entire 4.0.3 image here soon. It will take several hours to build.

@dspanos,

No statusbar means the process that draws it has crashed. Something isn't compatible between the file you're using and your rom. Hard to say exactly what without a logcat.

@kgbrown247,

Pendo,

What are the differences between "TransparentStatusbar-GNex_MCR-signed" IE: the first one you made, and "TransStatus-SmoothC-softkey-signed" the second one with more soft keys? Why would I give up full transparency from the first mod for an extra softkey, and 1% mod?

put the SystemUI.apk in your platform-tools folder, open a terminal there and run the commands

this is my screenshot ....

it's possible to have 100 % trasparent the statusbar ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
There are several ways to get adb to work in terminal/command prompt. One universal way is what OG mentioned. Another (my preferred) way is to add adb to your path variable. There are multiple ways to do this depending on your OS.

From developer.android.com:

Adding both tools/ and platform-tools/ to your PATH lets you run command line tools without needing to supply the full path to the tool directories. Depending on your operating system, you can include these directories in your PATH in the following way:

On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ and platform-tools/ directories to the path.

On Linux, edit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file. Look for a line that sets the PATH environment variable and add the full path to the tools/ and platform-tools/ directories to it. If you don't see a line setting the path, you can add one:

export PATH=${PATH}:<sdk>/tools:<sdk>/platform-tools

On a Mac OS X, look in your home directory for .bash_profile and proceed as for Linux. You can create the .bash_profile if you don't already have one.

The first one doesn't have any softkey mod. Full transparency (on the last version I posted) is easily re-enabled and can be done very quickly if you are familiar with apktool. Decompile SystemUI.apk, and open res/values/drawables.xml. Change the value for "status_bar_background" to #00000000. If you want the bottom menu bar transparent, open res/layout/navigation_bar.xml and on the 2nd line change android:backgroud="ff000000" to android:background="00000000"

See above.

But transparency is definitely enabled, as per your screenshot.

i have fastboot, installed, nexus has root.

the systemUI.apk is in the platform tool folder.

in command window it sees my device.

when i run the first command it says remount failed.

one other question do i need to have CWM recovery installed ?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
remount is failing because you don't have an insecure kernel...i think there is a work around but you will have to search. I suggest you find a kernel that matches your rom and then it will work

i dont want install a kernal. i like to stay stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poloboogie:
so let me get this str8 if i was to flash that zip on pg 2 them my soft key mods would not work or could i still use them and have the transparent screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
hi, i have manage to use apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk

but when i try to repack it again, i get error of "invalid resources directory name", i have googled the error and seems like i am not the only one.

i am wondering how did you repack it?

thanks.

i am using apktool-1.4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
try running "adb root" first and see if that helps.

Jonata.....you aren't that noobish..didn't I do this for you a few times with the sgs2 ;)

ClearStatus-SmoothC-softkey-signed.zip

No....that zip did not have the softkey mod. I guess that was a poor choice in using "MCR" as part of the name, since Paul's the one who originally made the mod. At the time I made it, I just knew it came from a stock Modaco rom. (I wasn't even aware of the softkey mod at that moment)

But a little while later I remade the translucent statusbar and integrated the softkey mod. Plus I put in a new circle battery I recently made that goes pretty well with the ICS blue. TransStatus-SmoothC-softkey-signed.zip

OK, that does sound a little strange. What OS are you using, and could you post either a screenshot or a pastebin link of the exact error?

The first thing that jumps to my mind would be that you might have spaces in your directory path. If you do, either rename the the the folder(s) without spaces (you can use and underscore if you like) and try again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

Any news for 4.0.3 roms?

I've test but the result is that my status bar and my softkeys are completely invisible,missing :eek: :D ,i hit where they were normally ... but nothing :D

Just for test with the latest files posted above :D

I would be very grateful if this could be possible,thank you very much in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan202:
Actually it wasn't. but I resized it to match your size, but it didn't help. it still shows up like the image I posted earlier.

I have attached the wallpaper.

EDIT: I have noticed some strange behaviour. I found out that if I push the file and reboot, it shows the wallpaper correctly, but as soon as I swipe right or left, it cuts off the bottom.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjskalet:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
There isn't as of yet. Pendo sent me some instructions to test on a 4.0.3 ROM and it doesn't work, just get shadowing in the SystemUI. Since 4.0.3 has changed alot in the SystemUI thats probably why the coding is different.

Sent from a full AOSP GNex via Tap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
what firmware? 4.0.2? there is one posted in this thread that will work

no thats wrong. a deodexed systemui will work fine on a stock rom. it justs need to match the firmware. i.e. deodexed systemui from 4.0.2. for a stock 4.0.2 rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
LauncherPro likely has something that overrides this edit. I'm pretty sure that's the case in gingerbread, too, best I can remember.

I actually have compiled a 4.0.3 and was told that it worked (I didn't do the softkey mod). Those instructions I sent gave you the exact smali edits I did for the decompiled 4.0.2 SystemUI. So they would need to be adapted a bit for 4.0.3.

Aso, in regards to the softkey edit I never really got that integrated in source code. And at this point, I'm not planning on spending anymore time trying to replicate Pauls souce code. I'm sure it will be available at some point.

Was afraid of that. Yeah, you're gonna need to do the mount command via adb shell. Not sure if this will work on the gnex but I'm sure the proper command is here somewhere. Try this:

adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /system

if your cursor changes to a # then you've got it.

I think you're gonna be looking to change a dimension in Launcher2.apk

No, from what I've read the LTE builds are different, so would require the mod be done specifically for that device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbrown247:
Will you send me the edits? The zip you have in the o.p. blopd my device. Built a systemui in source but thats long story of fail

Sent from a full AOSP GNex via Tap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
"Long story of fail" Ha! Love it.

I could say the same for my efforts as well....I only post what I get lucky on.:D And I see that you're almost local! I think you're the 3rd person I've "met" on the boards in my ~18 months here.

Ok so to your question....I think that post about me sending edits needs to be clarified. I was contacted about helping to mod via smali, as the person was on Windows and didn't want to mess with linux. So his only option was to mod SystemUI after it was built (decompiling and smali edits). This is how I made the translucent statusbar for 4.0.2 and so that's where the instructions I sent came from. If you tried to change the exact same lines with the exact same edits for a 4.0.3 SystemUI.apk, it would fail (as was mentioned)

So as far as my edits...I've already posted them but in another thread. But they are only source code edits. I have never decompiled from 4.0.3, so I do not have any exact instructions for that. I could send you the same set of edits that I sent NitrozKC, but you'd have to take the info from that and apply it to 4.0.3....see where I'm going???

I think the best thing would be to see if I could help end your "long string of fail" as that's 1)easier for me to go over and 2)you'd be gaining other experience (hopefully anyway...assuming I can actually help)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
:( I read that it lagged... but I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't too significant. Besides looking nice, I mainly want it so that it "exercises" the AMOLED, so it doesn't burn in as easy.

I sure with some work, it can work well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjskalet:
It didn't lag the phone too bad way back when. A lot of it had to do with the roms and kernels still being a couple months old. I am pretty sure it wasn't 100% due to the transparent nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldypal:
I'm not running 4.0.3 any longer but i'm wondering if anyone has tried changing the alpha value in the hexidecimal for "status_bar_background" or "system_bar_background" in the drawables.xml for SystemUI.apk? Maybe to 80%? It would look something like this. "#10000000" replaces "#FF000000" and makes it 80% transparent.

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#10000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="system_bar_background">#10000000</item>

Worth a shot maybe. I'll see if i can get it to work on the 4.1.1 AOSP I'm running.

Last night I left my phone charging battery for approx 7 hours; this morning when I checked it froze and had to reboot. After reboot, battery indicator showed 100% charge but less than 5 minutes later it had gone down to just 1%. I restarted the phone again, now it showed 41% charge and continued charging normally until 100%.

At first sight it's just a false reading but I am not sure and would like to hear the opinion of experts... is such false reading normal/expectable? should I have battery checked or just let it pass?

[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
This happened to me several times in the first week I bought my phone, but since them, never happened again. I still wonder what was the problem, maybe a problem with the wall charger (this happened only with the wall charger) or battery calibration, 9 out 10 charges I use the PC USB since I spend most of the day working in front of a computer.

More info I forgot to say... on the first week I used to insist to use task killers, do you use them? I somewhat believe its something with task killers, my phone was totally nut like yours, but after a factory reset I forgot to reinstall the task killer and my phone never acted crazy again, I also stopped to believe they are useful since I started to learn more about android.
[LG Optimus 2x] sirgal:
Thanks for the info, F. .. I do have a task killer installed (this is my first Android phone and just like you I am now almost convinced that they're not necessary), will uninstall it and see if things get better.

[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
Try a factory reset and don't use task killers.

I think this problem is something with the task killer killing the battery calibration software, then the phone go nuts. The wall charger is probably fine, I think this could have happened if I used the PC USB charge too, on the first week of use I was traveling and used just the wall charger.
