How to make transparent status bar in lockscreen
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] :
*Double Post, my apologies*
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] :
I am experiencing a problem with another device with a stock/vanilla 4.1.1 ROM (ASUS PadFone 2) with creating a transparent status bar. I was hoping some experts here could point me into the right direction...

I can't seem to get my status bar to be transparent. I can change it from black to whatever color I like, blue for example:

- Image

- Image

(Yeah, I've changed the battery icons, connection icons and notification center background with success)

I am changing the HEX colors for the status bar background in SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml and some status bar and notification center related files in SystemUI/res/layout. The HEX color for full transparency should be #00000000 (AARRGGBB format).

When I use this color, the statusbar stays black (like it is default)...

What am I missing here?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] djtheball:

Problem with lock-screen status bar transparency

I have Note1 N7000 (4.1.2), but I think this mode sould be similar to both devices.

I did exactly like in OP

- SystemUI/res/layout/tw_super_status_bar.xml and change android:background to 100% transparent:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView android:background="#00000000"

- SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml and change android:background to 100% transparent:

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00000000</item>

But:

- home screen' status bar became transparent

- & lock-screen status bar became transparent too, but status bar' part of lock-screen wallpapers takes this part form homescreen wallpaper.

Waht is situation with i9300?

How to made status bar of lockscreen or transparent with wallpaper from lockscrenn or made it black?

Hi raubkatze...:)

First of all - Thank you for great mods you provide to us. :)

Second - I have a question, and I hope this is the right tread since it seems to me that it is close related to my question. :) So, I am a girl and all this dark themes do not suits me the best, so I would like to make my Statusbar in white colour and the text in Statusbar and in Notifications in Pink color. I am not very good at changing this .xml files, but I really want this colors in JB so I am willing to learn this if you just point me the right way. In ICS there was an app called Xposed Installer and with some Modules it was wery easy to change these colours for text and Statusbar. Since that developer abandoned that app and it is not compatible with JB I would appreciate any of your help to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance...:)

Love your work...:)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
To get a result you need it is necessary to edit some xml and, perhaps, png files i.e. to make new theme :)

If you wish I can tell you which files you should edit or you can wait for a while because I'm planning to make pink theme soon.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Ninolina:
Thank you so much for your quick replay...:) I am sure you will do it better then me and I will surely eagerly wait for your pink theme, but in the meantime I am willing to try do something myself. So if it's not to demanding I would like you to let me know what are the files that should be editet and how. :)

THANKS AGAIN...:) You are great...:)

Plz can you help me ? I'm a french and i speak a little english excuse me.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
You should decompile SystemUI.apk at first and then edit xml code. The sample is under second item you've quoted. But once again:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView [B]android:background="#[COLOR="Red"]00000000[/COLOR]"[/B] android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

Thanks you so mutch for your help to me a noob ;)

I specify that I have a galaxy s 3 in wanam lite 3.7 and register it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
You should only change android:background="#ff000000" to android:background="#00000000"

And there is (could be) only one SystemUI/res/layout folder as well as SystemUI/res/values after decompiling SystemUI.apk.
