[Q] MIUI-style status-bar mod for AOSP ROMS? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
i've done some searching, but have come up short, and i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to mod AOSP status-bars to be clear like MIUI (maybe with a flashable zip?)

My bad, misread your post. Carry on...

if you need any help, let me know.

I might have some questions. I read the op in that thread, and there were a couple things that I wasn't clear about, but it looks really cool. I appreciate it.

I just stumbled across this thread. The issue is that its not just simple status bar transparency. That's easy, and it's already in the settings menu in ROM Control for AOKP. With MIUI though, you can have the status bar as totally transparent when viewing the launcher/desktop, but it's not transparent, or it's semi-transparent when you are viewing apps like the browser or when viewing the lock screen. So the question is, how could one implement different status bar settings for different views as it is implemented in MIUI?

I was really just trying to find a way to implement a clear status bar on the desk top/launcher on GB aosp roms (specifically, on decks reloaded.) I wasn't so concerned with the status bar in apps, browser, etc. I've tried uot kitchen which was mentioned above, but wasnt successful. as to why it wouldn't work, I don't know.

as i said in the pm's i really think its the way the statusbar is incorporated in the rom, best bet would to be ask in the rom thread that way a developer could give the right answer instead of me guessing at it.... lol im guessing the thread you found didnt work either?

Thanks, life, I just asked in the reloaded general thread.

Yes there is. Google search pvyparts battery bar. He wrote an app that does this. Only downside is that u have to edit ur systemui to get it to work. Since every rom is different its hard to make it flash able due to didferent systemui.apks. this is the battery bar mod I added to my cm9 rom.

we are actually talking about the statusbar and making it transparent. in reloaded there is an app for the battery bar and is simple to adjust. but in the rom it has a ICS-like statusbar (all black with the ics-blue signal bars and battery icon and what not). What atljatl is wanting is the entire statusbar to be transparent. Like in the miui and some sense roms that have had the flashable zips to make transparent statusbar.

Gotcha. That is a simple mod in the systemui.apk. just changed either the icon or xml backgroubd to transparent. Again I'm mobile so can't do it fir u right now but will when I get home if ud like

Can I get the "Fresh" styled launch bar on a different ROM?

For some reason I really like that launcher bar at the bottom of Fresh 0.5.3. But I'm curious to take another ROM for a spin just for the fun of it.
Is there a file or theme that I can use to put that launcher back? I can't seem to find one, but thought I'd ask to be sure.
TIA
Take it out of development and go into General or Q&A.
Search the market for launchers.
But I think this would be a development issue. It's a matter of if anybody else out there has noticed a mod or .zip that somebody has developed that changes only the style of the launcher bar. Not looking for ADW, ahome, or or another launcher apk. Just a .zip file. Just a random shot in the dark to the forum.
If it helps that bar is from espresso ui

It is a Metamorph, look it up on the market, or better yet, here on xda. basically it is an easy way to theme your phone.
I use to use fresh only because of the bar. Now I'm using DC ROM with the bar.

Yeah konikub makes it, sorry if spelt it wrong. Go check themes and apps he does a lot of good work. I can't post links yet but its somewhere
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Basically what you are looking for is an expresso rosie. There should be plenty of themes that you can apply that use that rosie. I know konikub has made a couple of themes for DC. I believe that at least one of them is expresso. May want to give that a shot.

[23/6-11] [MOD] [STOCK XXKF2 & VillainROM 1.4] BATTERY PERCENTAGE and ASOP icons

Here is my personal battery mod and some icons like wifi in systemUI.
hope someone finds it useful
its made for XXKF2 ONLY
the mod is available in Clockwork mod(flashable through clockwork mod, dont forget to backup), dont forget, its your responsibility when flashing! shocker..
21/6-11 added CRT effects
22/6-11 added overscroll along with CRT (for custom ROMs, as overscroll dont work with stock roms odexed)
22/6-11 fixed all three cwm with fixed icons in systemUI.apk. removed files only
22/6-11 added deodexed cwm
23/6-11 added mod for VILLAIN ROM 1.4 with CRT EFFECT AND NEW POWER MENU!
CWM smaberg battery CRT POWER MENU Villain 1.4.zip DOWNLOAD HERE
Looking nice Will try it out. Why not keep both a version with and without the CRT animation?
Edit: Really nice icons, clean and simple. But the scrolling bar in the SMS app turned green(?). It's translucent gray in all other apps.
Edit #2: Would be nice with a version containing only the status bar icons and the battery percentage icon (without the green scrolling bar). På forhånd takk, gode nabo
Thanks, I'm using it.
Could you also make a cwm file for the original files so whenever we need or have a problem, we can flash back.
Hi Smaberg
it's nice to see you here .... is what I was looking after flashing my Kf2 rom
thanks a lot
i tried it and my status bar disappeared.
could it be because i already have a theme made using UOT kitchen?
i really like the battery, do i have to replace both files ?

statusbar dissapear is often due to systemui named wrong or clean dalvik cache, search for it, many has this problem..

Thanks a lot, but it only themed the notification bar, it didn't theme anything else. Images on the lockscreen are replaced with silver ones, but the bars aren't invisible. Would you happen to have a link to the walppaper used in the theme? If not, I'll just make one.

The only files that were in his zip that were themed were the settings app and the frameworks, so that's all i transferred over. It says that he themed more apps in his thread but like I said it only had the settings apk in it. If you go to his orginal thread he has links were he ported it from and on one of those links you can find the icon packs.
Here is the wallpaper. Its also in the theme if you use 7zip its the default wallpaper in the drawable-hdpi folder

Transparent status / nav bar - LTE / 4.03

I'd really love a transparent status bar and navigation bar. It looks like this has been done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388554&page=12
Unfortunately this does not work on 4.03 and in addition there are differences between LTE and CDMA so the mod would need to be LTE specific in my case.
Does anybody know of such a mod that exists? I've searched high and low. Thanks!

Thanks for the statement, now you mind sharing the info....gotta screen shot, where's the mod? I assume you're running the GSM version?
me wantz this too.... !!!!
Works for me on 4.0.3 - you need to put in some work yourself if you dont want the percentage battery, tho. ROM needs to be deodexed afaik.
Frysee, Is that a flashable CWM file? and does it work with LTE/Toro Nexus? Thanks in advance... Realy looking forward for this mod.
Will this work on revolution HD 4.0.2? Also can toy flash it through cmw?
Would love to know if this works on the CDMA nexus as well, specifically running Axiom 2.4, with battery percentage and search button in nav bar enabled
Is there something with only the clear Navigation bar? I dont want to mod the status bar
does this work on gummy rom?

softkey mod is easy as long as you have the PNGs.
hmmm. maybe the notification bar and navigation bars are also just a couple of PNGs?
can anyone point me in the right direction? I think I can do this myself if I know which files to replace

Idle has then built into one mod. So get the transparency plus choice of different softkeys. You can ask him how he did it.

I tried to do the mod with apk multitool and decompiling the systemui.apk myself last night but I kept losing the nav bar and not bar, then I tried to do Idle's mod and I still kept losing them despite it being built for AOKP m2, so if you figure out if its just a png replacement let us know!
I been at this all night; couldnt get it going at all...just kept losing everything. And here I thought I just didnt know what i was doing. Let me know if anyone figures it out.

the wifi icons are a bit on the large side... and i dont have every image in there so i certain times it looks funny cause another icon kicks in. anyone know of any more complete sets?
