    My first APK mod! Transparent Status Bar!!!

    UPDATE Feb 28 2012!
    There was in issue in my previous kits that status bar notifications where skewed way over to the right. This is fixed. However this V3 kit only contains the 100% transparent status bar. I will work later on 30% and 50%.
    I also updated the readme as some file explorers when a file is copied from SD Card does not set the file permissions correct (execute and write) and some users were still getting a blank status bar! So read my instructions at step 11 to fix that (Daman )


    I have updated the download link to the new kit. The file name is now V3.

    _________________________________________


    OLD UPDATE Feb 26 2012!
    My new kit now includes not only 50% and 30% but 0% for a totally clear status bar! Only the icons show up!

    I have updated the download link to the new kit. The file name is now V2.

    Bob

    Does the status bar kinda tick you off?
    Got a book reader app or another app that the status bar covers up?

    Well I know I hate the thing. I will continue work on an APP to actually make it hide and return
    but in the mean time I moded the SystemUI to make the status bar see through!!!!

    In this kit I provide full install instruction so read the README.txt!!!
    Also in the kit are two version. One is 50% transparent and the other is 30%.
    I prefer the 30% myself but you get a choice!

    Anyway I hope you enjoy my first mod! Here is the download.

              Couldn't get it to work
              .

              Did everything like you said, but lost my status bar for good. Had to re-flash. Tried again. Still no go.

              I was trying the 50% one

                      If you send me your stock SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex, I can make one for you that will work.

                        All I ended up with on my 7 G2 with your rom 1.3 was no status bar at all. Tried each of the transparencies twice. I did manage to recover simply by renaming the original files.

                          Hmmm if that is the case.... psm9 sent me the SystemUI files for the 7G2 but I may need the framework then.

                          /system/framework/framework-res.apk.

                          I will try first without it and see.

                              OK I updated my status bar kit with one extra choice! 0%. This means the status bar is gone except for the icons!

                              I now personally like this WAY better

                              The new file name has V2 at the end so you know you have the correct one!
