Tinting Status Bar and Navigation Bar on KitKat and Lollipop with “Translucent Mode”

This module offers the option to make the status bar and navigation bar “translucent” with a color behind, like the Material Apps in Lollipop or the HTC Sense Apps in Sense 6 and 7.

For every Activity, in every app you want.

Isn't that nice, huh? :p

The app just uses the Translucent API to draw the status bar and navigation bar, so - it won't enable Translucent Mode on devices that don't support it.

Otherwise, it will e.g. give you the full Sense 6 feeling even in non-Sense-apps on an HTC Sense 6 device.

For developers, take a look at https://github.com/jgilfelt/SystemBarTint, if you want your app to look like this even without this module.

I use code of this in my module, special thanks to Jeff Gilfelt for giving this template to do something like that!

Download the app from Xposed Repo:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.woalk.apps.xposed.ttsb

To Download the module in Xposed Installer, you have to allow BETA downloads, as the module is currently in Beta state (user interface isn't as bug-free as it should, but I wanted to share my work as soon as I could).

Just activate the module and reboot, as Xposed suggests. A soft reboot should be enough.

After that, you don't need to reboot to apply settings.

There's a thing called TTSB Community. There you can create an account (you don't have to) and download settings other users published there, or (with an account) publish your own if they aren't there.

Maybe in some time you'll find many settings over there!

If you want to create an account, please see the Terms of use. Thank you.

For using this module bypassing the not-very-well-working UI, maybe a look on my Wiki article about manually setting TTSB Settings Codes should help:

https://github.com/woalk/TintedTranslucentStatusbar/wiki/TTSB-codes

If it does not work, check:

Do you get translucent StatusBar in other apps, without the module (there are test apps for this purpose in Play Store)?

If not: Are you on CyanogenMod? There's an option in “Performance” settings menu to enable or disable things like the gradient.

Has your problem something to do with an already known bug (look at the end of this post, there are they listed)?

Is your problem just for one special app? Please include a Play Store link, XDA thread link, source code link, or anything like this, of that app, or even a description of how it works, like “apps with text field aligned to the bottom of the screen don't move it with IME anymore, which is making it to disappear behind the keyboard”. Also please post your TTSB settings code for that Activity, if you're able to (if the bug is not with the apps UI).

Is your problem device/ROM related? I can't test every ROM because I can't buy every device, but check the first and third point of this list first. My module is using system code of android that should be in every ROM's code, I can't imagine any ROM working without onCreate() method of an Activity.

Maybe it has something to do with security features of a ROM, because my module is using world-readable SharedPreferences to have access to them from every app's onCreate() methods. If you know a better way, please, tell me, I'm relatively new to Xposed.

But have fun with testing this module! :D

I was inspired by Tinted Status Bar by MohammadAG, a more complicated module that tints the full status bar, so that module works even on older versions of android (between 4.0 and 4.4+).

But I did not like touching the status bar itself, as it creates some problems with some functions and apps, and it never gave me the mentioned "Sense 6 feeling" I wanted.

So I started to create my own module.

But, thanks to MohammadAG, TSB is also a great alternative if you don't want the Translucent overlay in the status bar.

This module was tested in an emulator and on an HTC One M7 running ARHD 71.1 first, at the moment CyanogenMod 11 M10.

This module works perfectly fine with my other module, Translucent Style, which changes the style of the translucency (gradient, Sense 6/Android “L” style, Sense 5 style, ...), this is very good to make TTSB's result way more unique! ;)

Please note that Translucent Style only works on KitKat by now, not on Lollipop (TTSB does well though).
