Transparency in Launcher

if you want have the transparency in launcher only, follow the below steps..

Decompile systemui.apk

navigate to res/layout/Superstatusbar.xml

change this from

android:background="@*android:color/transparent"

to

android:background="#00000000"

then navigate to

res/values/drawables.xml

then change from

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>

to

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

No need to change the androidpolicy.jar file.. just do the changes in systemui.apk.. it will only work in Launcher and other options will have their black background...

you can find the guide here thanks to raubkatze

Are you sure that this is also working with 10.1 KB 4.22 ? From my experience its only working with the changes in android.policy.

Same here, I think that transparent statusbar only in homescreen works just in several non-cm roms, like in samsung stock roms(raubkatze guide)

Im struggling with this and its so sad lol.. i tried the new update but i cant get it right. Can someone help? Whenever i do it, i get "SystemUI has stopped working" error.

Hello!

Hey Adi Aisiteru Reborn thanks for the guide and all the job, it would be nice if you can make the mods to directly flash on CWM recovery?

I Like the transparent status bar and center clock :D
[Android Themes] josue270193:
Hi the tutorial is amazing, im able to put the center clock on the status bar but i cant get transparent. i did all the stuff, but it still the same. I know it works because when im turning on pie function i see the status bar get transparent. any suggetion?. Im using cm10.1. Thanks
[Android Themes] brunodvf:
hello

thanks for your guide. now i have the 100% transparent status bar and the center clock, but my status bar in the lock screen and in the app drawer aren`t 100%. can anyone help me?
[Android Themes] rodman01:
That's difficult because it is rom version and device specific. Adi did some flashable zips in his other thread, also i did and some others too. So perhaps you can find one for you or perhaps even better, try the guide its awesome and not that difficult. ;)

I'm guessing this will work for 10.2 also, right?

[Android Themes] rodman01:
For lockscreen you can use the mod transparent lockscreen, then there the statusbar is transparent too. For app drawer it is transparent, but the background of the statusbar in app drawer is originally black, so if you want it there also transparent, you have to mod the app drawer itself.

[Android Themes] brunodvf:
and what i need to modify to get transparent app drawer? And i saw the mod transparent lockscreen, but by the screenshot, it seens that it will be possible to see everything that i have in the home screen, am i right? because i dont this... i just want a transparent statusbar..
[Android Themes] Selkorz:
I try 2 of the flashable zips in the thread but they dont work :(
[Android Themes] rodman01:
Sure they won't if they are not made for your rom and device. On which rom you are at the moment and for which device?

Which app drawer are you using? I guess the trebuchet? Then i would suggest the transparent version of trebuchet because otherwise it makes no sense: you would have transparent statusbar but black app drawer. Or you install an altenative drawer where this option is choisable. Lockscreen does not have a separate statusbar so as far as i know the only thing to get it transparent there is to do the transparent lockscreen mod.

FYI on CM10.1 for the s4 when u decompile the SystemUI.apk the xml u want to modify is located @: /res/values/colors.xml

Edit: nevermind...i didnt decompile the systemui.apk correctly..must install framework-res.apk before decompile systemui.apk only then will res/values/drawables.xml be present
[Android Themes] atishey23:
Is there a mod like this for cm10 also?
[Android Themes] 12manytimes:
Having problems getting this to work.

trying this on CM10.2 for the Sprint S4

used 7zip to pull the service.policy.jar, systemui.apk and framework-res.apk from the rom

placed them all in my apktool file

installed the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk using the apktool if command

then decompiled all 3 with the apktool d command

made my edits using notepad ++

recompiled them using the apktool b command

placed apk and jar back into the rom

flashed via recovery

Ive done this about 4 times now and it always boots with no notification at all :(

Anyone having this problem or know where im going wrong
[Android Themes] rodman01:
Which mod do you want to try? Because as far as i remember service.policy. jar would have to be changed in any of the mods here. So i think its only a mistyping. Have you tried your mods on a clean installed and fresh rom? With no other mods and without using a theme? Did you use a flashavle zip or just pushed or copied it to systems? If second have you checked whether permissions are set right?

Does center clock work for CM10.2?

I've been trying but keep getting errors while compiling the APK.
[Android Themes] rodman01:
No, not out of the box or with only copying the systemui/code. The statusbar.xml from CM10.1 has differences compared to 10.2, so the changes has to be adapted or adjusted new.
[Android Themes] bejunk:
use this bro works fine :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294419

There is no need to edit framework-res.apk right???
[Android Themes] :
No There is no need to edit the Framework-res.apk if you are trying for Vertical CRT Animation. But yes there is a way to for CRT off that can be done by editing the bool.xml of framework-res.apk.

This is for CyanogenMod 10.1, it's not a surprise that it's not working properly.

Edit: Although, I had a similar issue with that too, I disabled an option in Trebuchet launcher and it worked perfectly, but again, this is for CM 10.1, it's what the title says.

Yes for doing the changes you have to download decompile/compile tools like akp tool. Which one of the mods do you want? There are a view in first posts...and to try to do it for you, we would need your framework-res too.

[Android Themes] joshyakadamien:
Question!

Hi all!

First of all, i would like to say thank you for the awesome tutorials, i've been using your mods, since updated to cm 10.1 and they are great! :D

But i have a question, witch could be mod related, tried to search around, but no luck yet.

As many of you knows in a miui rom there is an option for the user, to choose out witch notifications are shown in the statusbar when not pulled down (the icons)

I was searching for something to enable or gain this feature.

So that the notification could stay in place, but when the statsbar is collapsed, the icon will not be shown.

(and i am asking because there are some apps witch does not allow hiding their icons, just disabling the notif, but in that case the process will be terminated, what i would like to avoid)

for example play store updates,

i would like to know when updates are available, but only when i pull down the bar...

Could any of you suggest anything?

I'm not afraid from a little de/recompiling, since i did my mods according to your tutorials.

i just could not find anything on xda nor google...

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day to all of you!
[Android Themes] rodman01:
Sorry haven't seen your edit yet, because there are no notifications for editing only in case of a new post. I assume that then there is something missing or wrong in your mod. And recommend to try it again from the beginning. If you have still issues you, please report your steps, think then we could find a solution together :)!
[Android Themes] chyl:
Hmm...

Reading thru few pages back... cant seem to get an answer for it, transparent status bar

I did as below:

7zip, pull out cm 10.1 stable version i9305

- framework-res.apk

- android.policy.jar

- SystemUI.apk

1. I'm following this guide step by step...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364184

EVERYTHING DONE... all good... the problem is... I use root explorer copy back

1. Missing status bar. Not transparent but missing !

So i read and you mention to use flash method...

Found this... follow the instruction...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163974

Flash it...

1. Nothing happen -.-"

So technically which part did I do wrong?

Hmm...
[Android Themes] rodman01:
Seems to be all ok, if no mistake happened during your changes itself...don't you have a working flashable zip where you can include your systemui and android policy? If not I attach you one empty zip, in which you can add your files and then try it with this one. And if possible, first flash your rom on top again, without wipes just flashing, then install your mod. So you can get sure, that everything was set to original again and you have a fresh and clean installation.
[Android Themes] chyl:
Hmm... I flash it, and it work. Didn't reflash the ROM, just put the edited file follow the instruction into the zip file you attached and flash it...

And why is it my lockscreen also become transparent?

LOL
[Android Themes] rodman01:
:good: good and :highfive: and have fun with your mod :)!
[Android Themes] chyl:
Is it suppose to be transparent as well in the lockscreen?

Yes, thanks for the help :)

[Android Themes] mekanismen:
Tried to search the thread for answers, but couldn't find any so here goes:

I've successfully made the statusbar transparent, but in some apps I can see the actual app torugh the transparent status bar. Is it supposed to be this way? If it is, is there some way to make it not do that? Like, just make it show the wallpaper on my homescreen as a background to the statusbar instead.

Some examples:

I really hope that someone understands what I'm saying, and hopefully can help me fix it aswell because as you can see it really looks like ****.

Thanks for a nice guide by the way!
[Android Themes] rodman01:
I never had or heard this issue, so I think there went something wrong during or with de- and recompiling. And if you are sure that you have done everything right in smali...Have you used the right framework res for decompiling etc? Or have you installed a mod or theme before flashing your transparent statusbar?

I noticed now that I actually posted in the wrong thread, really sorry about that! I did however have a theme enabled when I pushed my modified files through adb.

How are you doing?

I was about to PM you cause i would need your expertise on something but i just noticed you were still hanging around here which is the perfect right place lol so..

I know some modders that use 4 columns QuickSettings tiles guide (Daxgirl style)

It still works perfect on CM10.2 on both i9000 and i9100 but something is different on i9300 and i9505..this:

Hello Bejda Good evening nice to read and hear you again :) :good:, and sure I will try to help you...will download your apks just right now, but will take a look at it only tomorrow...will come back as soon as I have new information for you. Have a nice evening and a good night :)!
[Android Themes] rodman01:
Hi [MENTION=3648432]Bejda[/MENTION] and also a Hello to the others :)....as far as I remember the S3 and S4 are "taking" their pngs from xhdpi folders and not from hdpi folders? And there I found a difference in the png sizes: they are 64x64 instead of 48x48. This might cause the problem with the tile view. I am not sure, in general it should have been adjusted by itself. But its an idea and perhaps point you to the right way :).

To solve the issue, I first would try it in dimens with reducing the cell gap. Why not to 1dip or even less. And then the quick_settings_cell height: I would try it with 100dip or also even less....And last idea or perhaps additional is to reduce the text size in styles to 10dip or even less.

<style name="TextAppearance.QuickSettings.TileView" parent="@style/TextAppearance.QuickSettings">
<item name="android:textSize">[COLOR="Red"]10.0dip[/COLOR]</item>

In my/our S4 notification drawer Mod I reduce the text size to zero in different layout xmls in line:

<TextView
style="@style/TextAppearance.QuickSettings.TileView"
android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="[COLOR="Red"]0.0dip[/COLOR]"
android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
android:gravity="top|center_horizontal"

but think this will cause the same effect like changing it direct in styles. We take the texts out, because we have it included in the pngs.

Hope that this is of any help. If not I will try it further, no problem :). But as fas as I now know in res folder are no other differences, which will cause the issue and we then have to look at the smalis....

Edit: perhaps the fastest and easiest way to test, whether the png size is responsible for the issue, is replacing the ic_qs pngs in xhdpi folders with that from hdpi folder....just an idea :)!

[MENTION=4613083]rodman01[/MENTION] (and maybe others s3/s4 users facing same issue as me)

Well i was the only one owning the device in the story,i should have launched apktool before but it's been a long time,just had a new pc that wasn't set up and all.. sorry :o

As you thought at first the error came from that part of daxgirl tutorial:

<dimen name="quick_settings_cell_gap">3.0dip</dimen>

Strange thing is i just let it set to stock 4.0dip value and it's ok (didn't try lower values for now,I guess I'll try just to check cause..cause it's a little odd isn't it? )

Same story,and i guess same solution then on Nexus 4.
[Android Themes] rodman01:
Oh sorry, I thought you have working apktoos installed on your pc, otherwise I sure would have compiled a few things/systemuis to test for you.

Yes thats strange, because I thought that there isn't enough space for the tiles on that view and so we have to find some more place.

But I had such "issus" during adjusting the tiles and toggles on different roms too. The width - height relation sometimes is not so easy to figure out. And as far as I know the mentioned texts are also influencing the size. Have you also tried it with a 5 tile per row version? How is this looking?

[Android Themes] rodman01:
This is a known issue and how it is suppost to work. The statusbar is transparent and not only on the homescreen. Currently there is no fix for that. If you want to have the icons more visible change transparency to for example 80% or as you said change the icons.

[Android Themes] rodman01:
which other changes have you done before? Or the other way round what changes back to original? And have you included the center clock in the same systemui the previous changes was done?
[Android Themes] DarkStryder:

[Android Themes] rodman01:
Ok I understand. You only do an additional mod in the same systemui...which doesn't make it easier to find a solution :). How do you install the apk? With a flashable zip? And are you suing a theme? I would suggest to flash the original and not modded rom on top again first and then reboot and then your transparent statusbar including the center clock behind....but try it with a flashable zip if possible and not via ADB, perhaps additional with wipe cache and dalvic. Hope it helps :fingers-crossed:

I'm trying to add it to my ROM so its though flashabkle zip, I've pushed through adb as well.
