ANDROID KITKAT 4.4 STATUSBAR FOR GALAXY Y
STOCK/ Stock Based ROMs only

Hello, first I apologize for the late. I created this within a week when Kitkat was released. But due to exams I couldn't create flashable zip.

As you can see from heading, this will add Kitkat style status bar to any STOCK based/ Stock ROM. REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS with DEODEXED ROM. (Generally stock based custom ROMs are deodexed)

WARNING
You are installing this mod yourself. I am not responsible for any kind of damage, brick to your phone, dead SD card
If you disagree with this disclaimer, please do not use this mod

ScreenShots:-

Please check attached files.

Instructions:-
1) Download zip file attached at bottom of this post.
2) Copy it to root of your SD card. (root of sdcard mean not in any folder, keep it where you see Android, bluetooth,DCIM etc folders)
3) Go to CWM recovery (attached at bottom of post) ====> Mounts and storage ====> Mount System and Cache. Come back.
4) Go to Install zip from SD card. Choose Kitkat44StatusBar.zip ====> Press Yes. Install.....
5) After installation reboot your phone.

V1.2 Features- a) Swipe to remove notifications.
b) Gradient Look (Screenshot no uploaded yet, but looks like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591929)

PLEASE PRESS THANKS!!!

If you want to add this in your ROM, Theme or mod, then please take permission.
If you want to add it in ROM, I will remove the line at bottom of status bar, so it will not bother your ROM's UI

Sorry dude, I will ask mods to move it tomorrow.

and you need to give credits

I assume you have used spacecakers smali so you need to credit him and any other sources you used

I have only used spacecaker's smali.Other mods like swipe to remove are not from sir hancip. Everything else is my editing (without others code).
Please read what I mentioned before 2nd last line (not anymore). I mentioned credits coming soon.
I had to go out for important thing while writing. So I didn't write credits that time.

if it uses the same spacecaker files as my statusbar goto res/layout
open
quickpanel_quick_settings_space.xml
and you can decrease the size of the toggle layout for each toggle there


you can compare the values used to mine although I dont know if mine are smaller

you can change the quick_panel toggles in res/drawable-ldpi

No need of credits as I did not use any resources from CM7 statusbar. I just took it for porting.

If status bar is gone
It means there is some problem with META-INF. Did you give permissions as rw-r--r-- ?

It is created for stock/stock based ROMs.
Will not work on CM/AOSP
Then I cannot help right know. I can customize your one, but unfortunately I am stuck in exams.

As you found the solution yourself. You need a deodexed Stock ROM for Themes and (most) mods.
