Here is detailed guide for pull down transparency.

For system background transparency, decompile framework-res.apk, open res/values/styles.xml and find this line

<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>

There are three of them, it's the second one(line 1051 in Notepad++) u should change false to true,leave others as it is. After that replace tw_background_holo_dark.png in drawable-nodpi folder with transparent image with same name then recompile.
[Galaxy S II General] engloa:
Also, follow the android:src and android:background defined in the res/layout folder to know what to edit inside the drawable-hdpi.

Same for framework also. ;)

That's it, done for today, time to continue my own mods. :rolleyes:

Anybody here can help me do transparent status bar ? I mean when we open any any app the status bar should turn black not whitish

normally all transparent status bar are on homescreen only not in apps ..

I want a transparent status bar but only on home not in apps

plz help me
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
Only way I no of making transparent statusbar is in OP and yes it can react to certain apps. I tried to direct it as a png once but didnt succeed. If your also talking expanded to then Mlr posted a guide a few posts up
[Galaxy S II General] rush25:
Method in op adds transparency to apps too :(
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
I have looking for another way but yet to find it
[Galaxy S II General] Goldie:
Its the apps that are the problem not the mod. It just depends how the app applies the bg. Some fill the space behind statusbar and some dont. Only way round it is to edit every app which is obviously not possible.
[Galaxy S II General] rush25:
All the best :)

Btw on s3 we have status bar with black bg in apps and transparent on home ..but its jkay :(
[Galaxy S II General] BryanChia:

Nice guide fella:good:

I was wondering if any one could help!

I want to change the colour of the main text and any popup menu/settings menus also. Can anyone point me in the right direction...I have tried a few methods but none seem to work.......If I get time I will post what I have tried.....but been a long day and no time left for me to do this.

Thanks in advance:good::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
Not tried myself but first place I would look is framework-res.apk then look at res/values/colors.xml + res/values/styles.xml

I will try to look into it as soon as I have some time
[Galaxy S II General] CarlM34:
Thanks....I will try to have a thorough look around xda also later.........maybe I overlooked something or edited the wrong xml's:eek:

Status bar transparency:

What i have to do here in Res/layout/tw_status bar.xml?

Am confused bbb
[Galaxy S II General] engloa:
I'm not bbb, but change tw_status_bar, not status_bar.

Change first android:background to #00000000

Make same change to tw_super_status_bar with same values

Sent through my Neighbor's Open Wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] Vivek_Neel:
Yes mate ...did not look at it properly.. its tw..

Hmm..what about res/values/drawable buddy?.
[Galaxy S II General] engloa:
You can change it too if you like, but since you changed the android:background of tw_status_bar.xml, it won't use it anymore.

Earlier, it was something like "@drawable/status_bar_background"

You're now directly telling it to use the transparent color code(#00000000)

Sent through my Neighbor's Open Wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
Sorry not use to visitors :) the guide im sure is correct on first page second post. It tells you to check res/layout/tw_status_bar to see if it still has [MENTION=3944923]drawab[/MENTION]le then edit res/layout/tw_super_status_bar and res/values/drawable then res/values/drawable.xml and set transparency on statusbar

Or another method engloa has just posted :)
[Galaxy S II General] engloa:
Yep, follow what I posted, all will be fine. :D:p:rolleyes:

Btw, haven't seen a status bar clock mod which displays seconds too, so will post it one of these days if anybody's interested.

Hi engola and 3b

If I make transparent SB , center clock and 23 toggles mod at once editing systemui.apk..

Will that work fine?.

Or will I get systemui.apk stopped error?
[Galaxy S II General] MyLifeRocks10:
Nice work BBB.:) Didn't know u had created this thread until now.:o

Something like this?;)

Although it looks cool but i didn't like it.:p

It will work fine as long as u know what u r doing. But its better if u do 23 toggles mod first then the rest as its the hardest one.
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
It will work mate center clock is an edit in tw_status_bar.xml follow the guides and you will be fine :)

Thankyou m8 I tried to make it easy for anyone to try. I thought a noob like me could help other noobs :)

Thanks in advance.:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] tdunham:
Can you recompile stock without making any changes to see if it will compile without errors first?

Edit: Ours does not compile clean without making a couple of changes first. Even if it is still stock.
[Galaxy S II General] engloa:
More details please. Name of the apk will be nice to hear. Also the error log.
[Galaxy S II General] MyLifeRocks10:
Are u modifying SecContacts.apk or SecPhone.apk? For dialer u should modify SecContacts.apk. I checked SecContacts.apk and it decompiles/recompiles fine. If u r modifying SecPhone.apk then u may receive some strings error so u need to correct that.
[Galaxy S II General] gaosphappy:
Just tried and no it wont recompile even untouched. :eek: :(

Sorry should have known better, secphone.apk. Must be missing a trick here because it wont even recompile its self untouched.

Any tip/tricks ??? :eek: (i'm using apk-multitool if you need to know that too)

thanks guys.

HA HA MMMMEEEEPPPPP MMMEEEEPPPPP above THanks man will look into that. cheers loads.
[Galaxy S II General] Spannaa:
SecPhone.apk?

Before recompiling, edit the following files:

\res\values-es\strings.xml

Line 195: Add the formatted="false" attribute

\res\values-es-rUS\strings.xml

Line 206: Add the formatted="false" attribute

\res\values-it\strings.xml

Line 203: Add the formatted="false" attribute

So for all three, you'll have:

<string name="throttle_time_frame_subtext" formatted="false">
