The statusbar will be transparent on the home screen (like the S4) when you click into an app itll go back to black. This will be a project that takes a lot of time because I will have to do this for every rom individually and then keep updating it as they do. I dont want to start this project if no one cares for it.

Yes or no? Vote in the poll.

Also, can you guys list roms that dont get updated back to back?

Roms like Jelly Beans is perfect because he isnt always pushing updates, roms like that will be ideal.

That would be great, Scott's ROMs for the most part don't get updated as often.

Would you be able to include the white colored icons in the status bar like the S4, or are you only focusing on the transparent status bar?

Just use tweak box... Enable in xposed.
I didnt realize that. Sorry guys, Im going to have to pass on this project because Xposed does allow you do to this + way more options.

First download xposed framework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1763596&d=1361912261

Its an APK, just install it then open up the app and hit the "install/update" button. After this restart the phone and download Xposed Tweak Box located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1757849&d=1361739667

Install that apk as well. Now go back to the xposed installer (its the first app you installed) and click where it says, "modules." Select Tweak Box now go back to the Tweak Box app and customize away. It gives you options for any status bar color, transparency and much more.

Give these folks a thanks, here is the link to Xposed Framework and Tweak Box below:

Edit: Some roms already come with this, some dont and Xposed Framework is universal.

I was under the impression you'd be doing it like on the S4. Although xposed will allow a transparent statusbar, when you enter an app it stays that way.

In your mod you talked about having it go black once you enter an app which xposed will NOT do.

For whatever reason I'm not able to get the Xposed tweakbox to make the status bar transparent. I'm running beans build 14. The slider is to the right making it transparent. I've tried to make other changes, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Yeah. After you make it transparent and reboot, pull down the notification bar, it should be transparent after you move it back to the top. There is a post on beans thread with more in depth instructions .....

This post as well as a few after it talk about getting it to work, though mine hasn't been 100%

Here is the link on how to make status bar transparent. I'm too noob to figure out recompiling systemUI.apk but others have said they have gotten it to work using beans rom.
