EAZY WAY REPLACE YOUR STATUS BAR WITH YOUR OWN TRANSPARENT OR CUSTOM STATUS BAR

Many people were asking "how to make my status bar transparent??" etc etc

And I saw many threads which offered transparent and semi transfer status bars...

But those had different zip files for each and every rom... also they replaced the entire system UI.apk

So here is a guide (for all roms) to make your own custom status bar (transparent or opaque) and easily replace the system status bar

Uneque features of this guide

*it does not replace the entire system UI.apk so if u have other mods done to your system UI they will will be retained

*it only replaces the status bar and the procedure is soon eazy so now u can make a status to match ur wallpaper everytime u change it and flash it

*the procedure only involves usage of phone and PC is is not required ... so Point 2 is even easier now

*now u need not have different zips for different roms :D

THINGS NEEDED

1.canvas

2.a photo editing app (I suggest picsay pro

3. Statusbar replacer.zip

4.a zip manager (I suggest root explorer as all of will surely have it)

All downloads at the bottom of the post

ABOUT STATUSBAR REPLACER.ZIP

Have u noticed how an icon pack replaces just the icon of an app and not the entire apk of the app??

Well my statusbar replacer.zip works using the same Linux command (its caller apk replacer) but I have modded it so that it replaces the statusbar background and not the icon :D

INSTRUCTIONS

DOWNLOAD THE ZIP FILE BELOW AND EXTRACT.. U WILL GET 2 THIGS ... 1 IS A FOLDER CALLED STATUSBAR REPLACER AND AM IMAGE

PLACE THEM SOMEWHERE WHERE U CAN EASILY FIND THEM

MAKING A CUSTOM STATUS BAR

*the image u get after extracting is a sample of ur status bar ... I have adjusted its resolution properly and I have also named it properly (note the name)

*open it in picsay pro to edit it however u want (do not change the size of the image)

*u can edit the transparency of the image using canvas... refer the ss to know how

*now save ur edited image somewhere

*if it was renamed by your editing app then u have to rename it back to exactly what ever it was before

*this is your statusbar
