OK. So I've played a little bit with it since I didn't like it doesn't work for me. What I've found is that somehow the patch is related to Meizu theme. So this is working fine IF I'm installing Meizu (something I didn't do from the begining since I didn't saw it is mandatory). So the steps that worked for me are:
1. Flash ANY nightly after 195 (yes any..I've flashed 200 and it's working like a charm)
2. Flash whatever you need after (data2ext, sdcard speed, and so on)
3. Start the device and install Meizu from
HERE (you can use also the link provided by TGM in the OP.
4. Reboot in CWM and flash TGF's patch from this topic.
It should work now. stevenstrike hope it works for you too (without any system.apk rights, deletions and so on)
Notes:
1. When installing Meizu I did a mistake that's why I couldn't install it from the very begining. The download is a ZIP file and I thought it should be flashed like other ZIPs. In fact it is an normal ZIP archive that should be unpacked and inside there is an APK that should be run on device in order for Meizu to appear in Theme Chooser.
2. When choosing another theme from Theme Chooser, the status bar goes black again, so that's why I presumed it's related directly to Meizu theme.
3. I got no transparency yet but I'm testing further (or maybe I don't get it because I didn't use nightly 195?)
TGF, I saw the patch has the clock in the center. You were also saying about puting the signal and other icons in the center and leave the clock at the right side. I'd love that variant if and when you'll have enough time for it
