[Q] How can i make Transparent Status Bar for .42 - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I'm using 4.0.2.A.0.42 FW (2.3.4) with Stock Kernel and Locked Bootloader but rooted.
There is a thread in forum for doing it in 2.3.3 but it's not working on 2.3.4.
Is there anyone know how to make it ?
I tried to change images in SystemUI.apk but when i made them transparent, bar became weird not transparent. There were weird image traces on the bar, whatever.It didn't work. After that i just made it Fully black for now.
Now it's look like that;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you for reading.
Best regards.

Im not so sure (cuz im not developer)
but use SystemUI.apk from 2.3.4 (baseband version the same as you use)
and than that SystemUI.apk make transparent, i think that will work

i use these http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
there u can make it transparent

I used that any my phone just kept rebooting itself
But thank you for suggestion.
Is there anyone ?

check the permissions on files rw-r-r (framework-res.apk - systemUi.apk)
if not install it via recovery, if you install with correct permissions you wont have any reboots

this works for stock .42 firmware xperia 2011, acknowledgement to original designer
<< remember to change permissions, pasting this file in root THAN in system>app>>

Circular Battery Stat - No Root Needed - Notification

So back in October of 2010, some guy named Irkan made the version for a black notification bar and I made the version for the white notification bar. Here they are, they work great in ICS. Just download and install like a normal apk.

Can you make 1 with stock battery icons for Android Revolution 2.1.2? LTE version?
no only because i don't have time. feel free to break into the apk and replace the icons though.
if you search for my posts on androidforums.com you'll find some links to big battery icons that are ICS type but probably lower resolution. might work.
Is this for the notification bar?
If so, does it replace the stock battery icon, or add an additional one?
Wow nice!!! But would you please explain what's the difference between two files? I'm running everything stock (locked bootloader), which one should I use?
If later one we decided to go back to the original, will simply uninstall this app work?
It adds an additional one. Just tried it. Would be nice if it was a replacement, which I guess would require root at the very least.

Thanks man, how do I install them? like all .apks? or root explorer or something? if anyone could upload it at .zip so I could install 'em through CWM :S thanks anyway
Use root explorer, or similar. Copy them to system, change permissions(long press, permissions, xx,x,x), move to system/app. make sure to remove the widgets from your homescreen before you do this

I'm on Custom Firmwar Gingerbread .42 , Phone Rooted , Bootloader Locked
So if anyone have a solution ?
Thanx
do a "wipe data/factory reset" on CWM (requires unlocked bootloader) if you dont want to reinstall everything make backups using Titanium Backup (requires root)
did u play around with systemUI?
it happened to me before.. your systemUI.apk is causing this problem..

[MOD] 1% Battery Animation on Stock ICS

Hello all, this is my first contribution here, i used to be a Windows Mobile ROM Cooker, but its been ages since i have done anything for the Android, got my hands on this iconia last week, rooted it the same day ofc, but running stock ICS, i've seen lots of custom CM Roms running this 1% Battery Mod, and i thought of applying it to our iconia for those who are are running stock, but with Root.
Requirements:
ROOT
DeOdexed Rom
Notice: Always take a backup before you do anything, i will not be responsible if anything happens to your data, device
Instructions:
1. Download the attached systemUI.apk and copy it to your sdcard
2. Move the file to /system/app/
3. Reboot
Note:
If your rom is not deodexed, follow this guide to deodex it first
I've used the images from he_stheone64 in this Post, if you want to use your own Images,either post up the images so tha i ca modify the SystemUI.apk with them or use xUltimate to modify your own SystemUI.apk , but make sure you change the Mod_Battery.bat in /working_dir/ to look for drawable-sw600dp-mdpi instead of drawable-mdpi (there will be 6 instances of it).
Screenshots:

My rom --> Xperia T ICS Rom V6.8 For Arc / Arc-S, Based on (4.0.4) 587
Thanks...
You have to download the SystemUI.apk that the rom uses, open it with 7zip, and go to res/drawable-hdpi and edit every picture that has 'stat_sys_battery' in it's name with paint or photoshop
Hi. The file u need to edit is system/app/SystemUI.apk. U have two options
- Decompile the file, make ur edits with any png editor, such as photoshop, gimp, etc and recompile. Replace the new file with the old one and give rw - r - r permissions
- Go to UOT Kitchen. There u have tons of different icons for statusbar. Make your choice. At the end you will be asked to upload some of the files of the rom you are using. It will provide you a flaseable zip. Flash it from recovery.
Hope it answers your doubt
Thank you both for your quick responses
I will try tomorrow...
