[MOD] Transparent, 75% Transparent and 50% Transparent Status Bar for CM7

---

I wanted a transparent status bar status bar so I decided to follow THESE instructions and got it figured out. It's just some changes to a few images and files in the systemui.apk

It seems to only work with live wallpapers depending on your launcher. You can get regular wallpapers working in ADW by disabling the wallpaper hack in ADWSettings >System Preferences.

You can find the modified systemui.apk below, please make a backup before changing the file since there may be a chance that it won't work with certain themes.

If it doesn't work with your theme and it's a free theme let me know and I'll modify it to work for you. I will also need to know which transparent bar you want to use (transparent, 75% or 50%).

You can replace the file with Root Explorer but do not start out by deleting the stock file. The easiest way to get everything done at once with only one reboot is to move the modified systemui.apk into the System folder, change the permissions to: rw- r-- r-- then move it into System/App and replace the stock file. You will then get an error message, just hold down your power button until it shuts down and then reboot. You may need to restart your launcher or hide/show your status bar once you reboot.

Transparent Status Bar: Systemui.apk

75% Transparent Status Bar: Systemui75%.apk (Rename to Systemui.apk before moving into System/App)

50% Transparent Status Bar: Systemui-Semi.apk (Rename to Systemui.apk before moving into System/App)

Here it is with a live wallpaper.

75% Transparent:

It's just some systemui.apk and StatusBarService.smali changes. If someone wants the apk so they can replace theirs to get the transparent status bar I can upload it.

Update the zip please

great but wait... can u make 50% trans version?

Does not seem to work with the Red Remix theme, also using the flames free live wallpaper but still received a FC when changed to star field wallpaper and rebooted so thinking it's the theme.

Any chance that this can/will be ported to Stock rom's launcher's bar?
