P

Put them in different LinearLayouts

Please look at the thread title - your question is nothing to do with making status bar transparent so I won't answer anymore off topic posts
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
not working for me
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
you're the only one - I tested it on pretty much all available stock based roms at the time I made the guide and it works on all of them

I have also tested the cm7 mod on whites and percys cm7 builds and on official htc cm7 builds for the htc desire s and again it fully works if all instructions are done correctly

read the op and instructions fully

plus just saying not working is not very helpful - actually state what the problem is and what phone and rom you are using
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
Im so sorry for that dude im using samsung galaxy gio and my rom is stock deodexed
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
what screen resolution is it? if it is ldpi you can use the images supplied - if it is mdpi or higher you will have to create your own

it is only for gingerbread roms

all you need to do is place your png in drawable-ldpi (if its ldpi) if its mpdi or hdpi you need to place it in that folder

once done edit the xml like the following

change the bit in red

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="#000000"[/COLOR] android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

to

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="@drawable/nameofpng" [/COLOR]android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

nameofpng being the name you have given to the png you placed in drawable-ldpi (or -mpdi or -hdpi)

recompile the apk put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
pk dude maybe i have a mistake on the png. maybe the size can i ask the size that i will need to set on mdpi? 320x480
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
the size I have used for my png is 320x25px - you can try using my png in the attachments - if it doesnt work look in your res folder and find a png with the dimentions of your statusbar

you havent said why It is not working - remember you need to decompile the apk with apktool to edit xml files

for example

recompile error

force close

status bar just missing
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
So what happens when you flash it in cwm with system mounted?

do you get force close or just no status bar

there is no reason why it wont work if everything is done correctly as this will work on any gingerbread device -

if you have used my png and you dont get a statusbar you will need to create your own

if you just dont get a statusbar (no force close) you have a signature problem - dont sign the apk with test keys -just move the meta-inf folder from older systemui to new systemui
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
all you have to do from that xml is the following

look at

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

see the bit I highlighted in red

That is the name of your statusbar background

Just replace that png in your res/drawable-mdpi folder with a transparent one keeping the file name statusbar_background.png
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
but it is not a png it is an xml found in drawable-ldpi of hyperion

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

after i flashed it still normal nothing happen.., no statusbar force closed
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
there should be no xml files in drawable-ldpi only pngs delete the xml and replace it with a png

xml files are only in anim drawable layout values and xml folder for example

also you need to use a launcher that supports transparency - for example holo launcher or adw (disable wallwaper hack)

see this quote from the op
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
try to see the systemUI of hyperion so tha you can understand what i mean
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
just upload your systemui.apk (unmodded origional)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
ok i will and can ask some other favor?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
this is my systemUI unmoded
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
download attachment and flash in cwm with system mounted

if it doesnt flash due to our phones update binary being different just unzip the folder and push it to system with permission rw-r-r but hopefully it will flash

make sure your launcher supports transparency - you can temporaraly switch to holo launcher if after flashing its not transparent and if its transparent in holo launcher then your laucher doesnt support transparency or you havent dissabled wallpaper hack in settings

as with the xml file in drawable-mdpi there were none - all the files in that folder were pngs
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
I don't need to use holo im uaing gingerbread and i already made my touchwiz launcher transparen
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
good so I take it my mod worked then and you just did it wrong
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] qvgahub:
NEED HELP

my xml is like this...

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="

@drawable/statusbar_background"

android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

now i replaced the statusbar_background.png in drawable-hdpi with the transparent png i created...and after recompiling and installing again...it's still black :confused:

the png i used is attachment below ..:(

my device=xperia neo v
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
are you using a launcher that can support transparency?

try changing to holo launcher and see if it becomes transparent

remember this is for gb 2.3.6 or cm7 (the method you used works on 2.3.6)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] qvgahub:
i'm on 2.3.7...:(

i tried xposed tinted status bar..and it worked ...but it does not give the transparent feel
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
That's why it's not working

1st method is for stock gingerbread 2.3.6

2nd method is for cm7 2.3.7

if you are using cm7 use the 2nd method (I dont belive it works on AOSP only on cm7)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
thene patcher are not working for me
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
saying not working is not really helpful

explain in detail - give screenshots and so on

if you are talking about the patcher for cm7 that is on the first post it fully works with any cm7 rom - tested on both samsung and htc phones

make sure you have java installed and notepad++

Hi [MENTION=4728903]marcussmith2626[/MENTION]

Now my statusbar has transparent by u guide thanks to u guide . even it dont seem fully transparent :p .

and one thing . it that normal for that date still in black background when i pull my statusbar ?

btw . all what i see it seem transparent even when in app . if it white on that app then u got white status bar if pink then u get pink :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
you only have 70% transparency looking at it

if you want it fully transparent when you create your theme chooser theme in kitchen change the level of transparency to 100%

yes it normal for the date
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
only 70% :eek: . about that u mention i dont understand . in device or pc ? and what it is ?

and that date too . how can i make it transparent too ?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
oh sorry you using it on stock rom - so you used method 1

didnt I put two pngs in the attachment - 1 is semi transparent gradient type the other is near enough fully transparent - you can make your own png if you want different levels of transparency

that date is to do with your statusbar - look in the status_bar_expanded.xml
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
yeah stock rom and method 1 . and it fully transparent too . My bad . For that status_bar_expanded . Same method as i use first method or just change value ?

One more . How do i remove that black line . i dont like it :p
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
That black line is because your launcher doesnt fully support transparecy - you can add transparency to your launcher or change lauchers

adw - disable wallpaper hack from settings

holo launcher - works straight away

add transparency support to your own launcher - see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49895319&postcount=18

you will have to work out your own statusbar expanded if you want to change that
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
-link given- it will make my launcher transparent and app drawer will transparent too ?

does that guys mention tw30launcher.apk as on my stock rom .
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
no - its to remove the black line that seperates the launcher for the statusbar

you can make the app draw transparent by using a different launcher like adw or find a guide to mod your own launcher

there are modded touchwizz launchers if you search
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
i hope that black line will be remove . even ADW and HOLO still have it :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
its your statusbar then - never get it in any of mine

look at the xml files for your status bar - you must have a dividing line somewhere in your xmls - you will have to read through them
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
maybe:D what did u mean by divine line . can u give me example . it cause when i place that name i think .
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
not work with u status_bar.xml . cant recompile with error (@drawable/statusbar_dj) :crying:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
hi dude my cm7 has no cyanbread.apk
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
soz I missed that drawable value - change it to your status bar image (black non transparent) or add this png to res/drawable-ldpi
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
cm7 normally comes with cyanbred.apk (blue theme) and androidian.apk (green theme) unless you have a slim cut down version (open your theme chooser app and it will tell you what themes you have installed)

you can get these from a full unmodied version of cm7

you will find it in system/app of the rom zip

for example for the galaxy y gt-s5360 the full unmodified version of cm7 can be found

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2673610

you can also mod any other theme chooser apk to make it transparent if you wish - you just need to know the name of the apk and then do the steps as described using that apk instead of cyanbread.apk
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] badagila:
my zip has no androidian and cyanbread dude i only have androidtrerm.apk
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
like I said - you can mod any theme chooser theme apk you want - cyanbread and androidian are the ones that come with an unmodded version of cm7

if yours is a themed custom version they may have been removed and replaced with something else - that doesnt matter

if you want to use that theme and just make it transparent just use that apk instead - you can open theme chooser and it will tell you the name of the theme then you can find it in system/app

or you can download any theme chooser theme you want and just mod it - treat the apk like it is cyanbread in the guide
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
still no change able .
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
you will have to work it out yourself sorry

you can decompile any of my statusbars and compare it to yours for the layout
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Lemon_Lime`s:
okey thanks . i will work hard :D

What file?

:confused: is this statusbar_background.9.png of gt-s6102 is the file?

thanks if one can answer me::

my phone is: galaxy y duos (gt-s6102)

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

statusbar_background.9.png or status_bar_background.9.png>? :confused:

Please Sir i need ur help!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
please fully read all of the guide

I assume you are doing method one

open status_bar.xml

find the following line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="#000000"[/COLOR] android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

change the bit in the red to

[COLOR="Red"]android:background="@drawable=nameofpng"[/COLOR]

the name of the drawable value (in the example above is nameofpng) will be the name of your status bar image - call it what you like

so you put nameofpng.png in drawable-ldpi
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Vargaz.22:
Sorry!

i change the nameofpng to statusbar_dj and add statusbat_dj.png to res\drawable-ldpi and still get this error:

Check your spelling - the drawables value in the xml file and the name of the png does not match the name of the png image

It also doesn't match in the post above

Check for typos and its exactly as written

Thanks 4 reply!

thanks i'll try it..

Sir can i make my statusbar_background.9.png transparent not status_bar_background.9.png? so i can see my apps even i'm in notification bar.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
you can edit any png you like

for that png I would use an editor such as gimp

http://www.gimp.org/
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Vargaz.22:
yes i'm using gimp and make my statusbar_background.9.png transparent but still don't i don't really remember if i mod touchwiz30launcher to support transparent.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
not modded it so dont know

you can always switch to holo launcher to test transparency and then switch back to see if it remains
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Vargaz.22:
help?

Sir how to make this transparent using gimp..

i'll remove the black picture of statusbar_background.9.png but not the border as it say's .9.png when i remove it it become's transparent?

I want to make my full status bar transparent SiR help me?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
you may find this video helpful for editing .9.png images

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Q1Z4wc3gc

you can also delete the .9.png and replace it with a normal png of the dimentions of your status bar expanded and make that transparent and then edit the xml to point to that png

this thread is just for making the status bar transparent not status bar expanded or anything else

If you require that I suggest searching for a different guide
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Vargaz.22:

Sir i will upload my SystemUI and please make it transparent..

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
look in status_bar-expanded.xml - it will tell you the png that relates to that

I understand how to change the backgroundcolors to [MENTION=3944923]drawab[/MENTION]le instead.

But is there anything I should change in some smali to get transperent statusbar and background in SystemUI.apk to work?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
follow which ever guide depending on the rom you are using

stock rom needs no smali editing - cm7/9 does

all is explained in the guides - follow them
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] richard.elgh:
Since I'm using Xperia mini I guess I have to search help on those forums. :)

But nothing happens using this guide I'm afraid.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
I assume its using a stock gingerebread rom that is deodexed and a launcher that can display transparency eg holo launcher

if so it should work if using the correct transparent png for your phone res but as this is posted in a samsung forum I cannot give support as iv not tested it on sony phones but it should just be same
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] richard.elgh:
Yes, I'm on stock GB, deodexed. And I'm using Holo launcher.

One never knows. :)

I tried another guide, but that included editing a smali file, and that way I could have a transparent statusbar.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
like I said dont have a sony to test so the process might be different - this will work on samsungs

only smali editing is needed on cm7/9 on samsungs

I just looked up the xperia mini - dont understand why you are on gingerbread when you can get offical ics 4.0.4 and you can get unoffical cm 10/11 as well

I would be looking into at least getting ics 4.0.4 through the update in about phone offically (will need to be on a stock rom most likely for it to offically update) or seeing what cm10 roms are available or cm11 if it is stable
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] richard.elgh:
I don't see the reason to switch to ICS. I'm satisfied with GB.

Why do you recommend ICS?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
theres alot of apps that require android 4.x to run and even apps that require below that you may get extra features with android 4.x

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
upload your systemui.apk i'll have a look at it - although I assume it is gingerbread 2.3.6

if its before I wont be able to do it and you should upgrade to ICS
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] richard.elgh:
I guess you can't help me then since I'm on 2.3.4. =)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
look at

for a stock transparent status bar for xperia mini

but if I were you I would be upgrading to ics right now or playing with cm10
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] richard.elgh:
The statusbar itself is not that hard to get transparent, if changing a value in a smali-file.

But the drawer itself won't make me happy. :)

I find ICS slow.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
you can try running it through uot kitchen but chances are it wont make it transparent if it doesnt support it

use CM9/10 rather than offical ics or jellybean - you will find it much quicker

or if you want to have some fun go for this pacman rom which is based on kitkat asop

or just look through the dev section and find what will work best for you

I tried to use UOT, to make SystemUI.apk transparent. The result was, not what I expected.
