[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spaun_Studio:
So..My friends asked me to write a manual how to make a transparent virtual buttons and status bar on JB. Ready? :angel:

Screenshots from my Sola JB (:eek:):

1. Decompile android.policy.jar and open android.policy\smali\com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager.smali

Blue- and to find through search

Red - Remove

Green- Add

.line 2552
iget v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mSystemTop:I

iput v0, p1, Landroid/graphics/Rect;->[color="blue"]top:I[/color]

.line 2553
iget v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mSystemRight:I

iput v0, p1, Landroid/graphics/Rect;->[color="blue"]right:I[/color]

.line 2554
iget v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mSystemBottom:I

iput v0, p1, Landroid/graphics/Rect;->[color="blue"]bottom:I[/color]

[color="red"] .line 2555
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mStatusBar:Landroid/view/WindowManagerPolicy$WindowState;

if-eqz v0, :cond_0

iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mStatusBar:Landroid/view/WindowManagerPolicy$WindowState;

invoke-interface {v0}, Landroid/view/WindowManagerPolicy$WindowState;->getSurfaceLayer()I

move-result v0

.line 2557
:goto_0
return v0

.line 2556
:cond_0
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mNavigationBar:Landroid/view/WindowManagerPolicy$WindowState;

if-eqz v0, :cond_1

iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mNavigationBar:Landroid/view/WindowManagerPolicy$WindowState;

invoke-interface {v0}, Landroid/view/WindowManagerPolicy$WindowState;->getSurfaceLayer()I

move-result v0

goto :goto_0

.line 2557
:cond_1
const/4 v0, 0x0

goto :goto_0[/color]
[COLOR="SeaGreen"][B]const/4 v0, 0x0

return v0[/B][/COLOR]
.end method

Compile android.policy.jar

2. Decompile SystemUI.apk and...

Open \SystemUI\res\values\drawables.xml

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#[B]5a[/B]000000</item>

5A - Transparency.

Open \SystemUI\res\layout\navigation_bar.xml and correct the same

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#[B]5a[/B]000000</item>

3. Open SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali and find "IIIII", near the code should be.

Green- Add, Red- Remove:

const/16 v3, 0x7e3

const v4, 0x4800068

[B][COLOR="Green"] const/4 v5, -0x3[/COLOR][/B]

move v2, v1

[COLOR="Red"] move v5, v1[/COLOR]

invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>([COLOR="Blue"]IIIII[/COLOR])V

Find "showNav" (second result in Notepad++) or "mPixelFormat:I", this code. Green- Add:

.line 417
.end local v3 #[COLOR="Blue"]showNav[/COLOR]:Z
:cond_1
:goto_2
[COLOR="Green"] const/4 v5, -0x3[/COLOR] [B][I](or [COLOR="Green"]const/4 v9, -0x3[/COLOR] for Z)[/I][/B]

iput v13, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->[COLOR="Blue"]mPixelFormat:I[/COLOR]

Compile SystemUI.apk.

upd: 10.05.2013

For the transparency of the open status bar (where the switches and notification)

Step 1:

Open PhoneStatusBar.smali (from SystemUI.apk) and find "PhoneStatusBar$FastColorDrawable". Immediately after that string is different, with "setBackground". Remove it. This line can appear twice.

Step 2:

We will adjust the transparency in the folder SystemUI\res\layout.Open-head status bar- status_bar_expanded_header.xml

android:background="@drawable/notification_header_bg"

change to

android:background="#[B]5A[/B]000000"

It is found in the file twice. Do everywhere.

The file status_bar_expanded.xml do by analogy, replace the reference to the background image on the color code. In this file, the background transparency notifications.

Do not say thanks, press thanks:angel:
