My first APK mod! Transparent Status Bar!!!

[ahpitre]

Will this work for an Android HTC Inspire/Desire phone?

Hello,

I have an HTC Inspire with ASOPX ICS 4.0.4 (rooted). Want to make the status bar transparent, will your kit work for this? THanks.

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.

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.

I was able to get the original status bar back. I am however, unaware of what cause the new apk not to work. I did change both the apk and odex file names. I am using ES File Explorer, and when you mentioned the stuff about the properties, I can't find a section like you describe to modify the permissions...

I am in exactly the same situation, I have flashed a Finless 1.4 rom to my Pad and can not apply the APK mod using ES File Explorer, I have also got the status bar back by renaming both files but I also can not get to the file properties section

Can you help Finless?

Cheers
