I've provided a CWM patch (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24999256&postcount=343), extract the file SystemUI.apk and adb updating your phone

adb push /your_directory/SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb reboot

el_liberator, sorry still does not work. I can do? Will this so complicated?

Code:

D:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI
.apk

D:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb reboot

Request for stock XWLP8 Deodexed with some of my mods
100% translucent
75% translucent
50% translucent

Here are my files - SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?ao63z626dcs811d

Thanks!

Somehow windows can't decompile SystemUi.apk
Tried wannams apktool for windows and apk multi tool both did not work for decompiling.

Greatings Liberator I'm really impressed with your work. If is possible I'd like you to make 100 % translucent status bar, and if is possible and easy to you 25% and 75 % (if not is enough only with the first one...).
I'm trying to follow your steps for make it myself, but is too difficult for mi... Thanks my friend

Nope not working..

Nice mod but unfortunately its not working for me

Tried two times exactly as described but when I push SystemUI.apk back to my phone statusbar just dissapears. Im on CM9 0419 nightly. I tried this on Linux and everything went without error messeges. I attached tweaked SystemUI and original. Any advice?

I have not tested, do not forget to make a backup before applying

-1-put zip file on sd card
-2-reboot in recovery
-3-make a backup
-4-wipe cache
-5-wipe dalvik cache
-6-flash zip flile
-7-reboot

Hello el_liberator,

Can you make the same one (as you did for Kurotte) but with 75% and 50% transparency?

The 100% works perfectly, but I want to try the different settings.

Thanks
Foirzie

Thanks, but both dont works.
Now i have no Statusbar anymore?!

MrHome · Apr 23, 2012

Tried the 100% on CM9 04/22 Nightly
and the status bar became like this.

While nothing changes with 50%.
I attached the clean systemui here.
Perhaps anyone would help?

Would you make it with 50% and 100% for me too, please?

-6- Navigate to your decompiled folder and go to ~/works/SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali
-7-Search this line :

Code:

invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V

-8- Above this line, change :

Code:

const/16 v16, [B]0x4[/B]

TO

Code:

const/16 v16, [B]-0x3[/B]

Hi el_liberator, It would be cool if you add this part to op.
The story of how I found this out, was based on your tutorial.
Basically is the same, but when working over sources (slightly easier obviously)

First, navigate at

/frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.java

This is the fun part. I found out that 0x4 on smali, just means that the constant value that we are using is 0x00000004. So I looked into StatusBar.java, and found that there was an interesting constant: "PixelFormat.RGB_565", so what I did was googling a bit, and found out that the constant value of RGB_565 is actually 0x00000004 ... voilà. Then i searched for a value that corresponds to -0x3, and found that it was PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, wich has a value of 0xfffffffd (-3). So as simple as changing

PixelFormat.RGB_565 to PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, will do the job on source.
The XML part remains the same:

/frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml

Edit values as said in OP, and you are done. Compile and push /out/blablabla/galaxys2/system/app/SystemUI.apk

Great tutorial, pretty well explained. Thanks!

Hi
ok, thanks, but you know, people are already struggling to edit a .smali file, then a .java file

I will still put your explanation in OP

Hi el_liberator, you made me a translucent status bar a couple days ago for this rom, works great but noticed one thing that when in lock screen your home screen wallpaper shows through and not the lock screen wallpaper.
Can you help Cheers!
