[MOD][Xposed] Tinted Status Bar [BETA 8]

[MohammadAG]

Requires Xposed Framework!

Inspired by iOS 6/7 and the latest Android 4.4 fake leaks (whether true or not), implemented by Paranoid Android as manual tinting, and now, an Xposed module with automatic tinting for most apps.

This module tints your status bar according to the currently shown activity, it also allows you to customize the tint color yourself on a per app basis. You'll need to do that for apps where auto detect doesn't work.
It also allows you to have the KitKat gradient on devices that support this module, use 66000000 as the color to achieve that.

Compatibility:
All Jelly Bean and KitKat devices should be compatible. Some ROMs may introduce issues, if they're open source, I can look into it, if not, post a reply with a deodexed copy of your SystemUI.apk
Tested on:

• Google Nexus 10
• Samsung Galaxy S4
• Samsung Galaxy Note II
• Samsung Galaxy SII running Chameleon (mainly AOKP-based)
• 2012 Nexus 7 with CyanogenMod 10.2 (covers all CM10.2 devices).
• 2012 Nexus 7 with stock Google 4.4
• LG Optimus L7
• HTC One / HTC One (M8)
• HTC Sensation
• Sony Xperia Z / Z1
• Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 with CyanogenMod 10.1 (covers all CM10.1 devices).

Issues:
To report an issue, use Github, I can't track this thread due to how big it's become:

Tinted Status Bar is licensed under GPLv3, including any parts of it in any of your code requires you to release the source code of it.

Contribute to this!
I can't add default colours for all the apps that aren't auto detected. You can contribute to a list of colours that look great on the app.
The quickest way to get the colours is to take a screenshot of the app and use an app like "Color Picker" from the store and using that to get the colour.
Feel free to ask devs to add support for this!
Get and add your colours here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AibKJwYV-sTfdF9MZmk3a1JqZ2ZBODJ0azVJV3RnTEE&usp=sharing
Google Drive doesn't support transparency, so if you want to make a cell coloured, remove the first "ff"s, colours should be in the format "RRGGBB". My mod takes "AARRGGBB" too though.

Thanks to:

• rovo89 for the Xposed Framework.
• Nottach for his module's source code, it helped with the icon colours.
• C3C076 for GravityBox, parts of the source code were used for keyboard detection.
• rovo89 and Tungstwenty, I borrowed some of the UI code from App Settings.
• Niek Haarman for his ListViewAnimations library.
• Lars Werkman for Holo Color PIcker.
• GermainZ for his suggestion on how to determine default icon colour and his many patches
• GriffinSauce for the icon.

I can't provide defaults for each and every app, you'll have to set tints in the customization app.

Genius work! Just get the PA and android 4.4 feel right away. .. setting manually it's not a big deal. . Gave more benefits.

Downloading it now to test.
If anyone tried, will it conflict with 3minit framework, Wanam Xposed or Foxhound ROM?

its conflicting with Wanam Xposed clock color,, clock color becomes white ,, dont know about circle battery color because i m using battery module...

its conflicting with Wanam Xposed clock color,, clock color becomes white ,, dont know about circle battery color because i m using battery module...

The colour matches that of icons, obviously having one colour for the clock isn't right (e.g if the clock is black and the status bar is black, then the clock would be invisible).

You're free to change white to whatever you want in the config app.

I use 3minit to control Statusbar transparency and icon colors, also battery. Wanam is only used to remove the Recent Apps, Battery Fully Charged and others. I'll test it now and see what happens.

[EDIT]
After booting, status bar goes to default (black, blue wifi, white other icons) and after a while, the icons started flashing colors, showing that it is conflicting heavily with 3minit. Won't recommend installing both.

Beta 2 out.
Chagenlog:

• Fix for pre-4.2 devices.
• Animations when changing colours.
• Notification icons should now change colour.
• More defaults (GMail, WhatsApp, Dropbox, Chrome).

The consistent flashing is the 1-2 minute bug mentioned in the first post, let your device settle down after it boots up and it should be fine.

Actually not, it kept flashing for about 10 minutes, changing between Tinted and 3minit colors (sometimes even random colors). Disabling the Tinted or 3minit would keep the other app colors. It seems to be a nice app, though I am not using it because of this conflict...

Just an explanation of how this mod works.

Every time you launch activity, it goes through what's called a "lifecycle", one part of which is "onResume".
I hook the onResume() method of the Activity superclass, so each time onResume is called, I detect which activity called it, and set colours for that. So, if after the system has settled down, you still get flashing icons, then some activity is being constantly resumed and paused, and I'd be worried about that in terms of battery life.

Check logcat to see what's triggering an icon change. If it's not something you're launching, I'd uninstall the package quickly.

Xposed Framework installed? Center clock is from Nottach/Wanam's modules, not mine.

Beta 3 out.
Chagenlog:

• More fine tuned defaults (PayPal)
• Clock in expanded panel no longer changes colour.
• New notifications should follow the colour of the icons next to them.
• Tickers will now change colour when the user changes activity while a ticker is showing.

I consider this beta the one closest to a stable 0.1 release.

I understand that it's quite difficult for the dev to apply this to all apps, but it would be great if people post here if they find the current colour of some apps.

That would get way too messy. I have a better way though
