[Q] Vanilla notification bar

Hey everyone I was wondering if there was a way to change the sense notification bar (black) to the vanilla (white) notification bar?
Thanks in advance

Install a theme, it's here somewhere to make it have the aosp white bar... Or edit the files in framework-res

I don't know if this is the one the OP found, but I use this theme.. I even removed the HTC lock screen so I have the vanilla lock screen

(i think you'll need a deodex ROM - I use the stock HTC ROM that is deodexed)

Thank you!! Any other ones??? Im curious...

I've only noticed 2 themes like that (the other one IMO isn't that great due to some graphics errors).
Just search AOSP in the themes section and start looking.. that's what I did. but IMO the link I posted earlier is the best one.

I agree! thanks for your help!!

[Q] Gingerbread Launcher

I am looking for some help. I like using sense, and would like to use a GB launcher.
I have found this:

2.Real Gingerbread Rosie w/5 Column app drawer, Nexus S Style: (Chingy510)
http://www.mediafire.com/?8jamsekc4bvefvp
The problem is that it doesn't look right. There is a grey box over shadowing the launcher.
My question is that maybe Chingy510 or someone else can modify it to work and look good with Calkulin's eVio 1.8.
Thanks in advance!!

you're trying to use a 5 icon dock with sense widgets right? If so I suggest using launcher pro plus and launcher pro glass sense skin both are in market but they're not free. You can also add custom launcher icons to modify your dock bar appearance. The skin is almost exactly the same as sense.

Thanks for the replies.

So I tried both of these and they don't use sense, which is what I would like to keep. Thanks again, maybe some will have a work around for me.

Ah, sorry dude. I guess I stopped reading after "...and would like to use a GB launcher."

Ok so here is a snap shot of what I got. Maybe someone can help. I know its minute, but it's ocd to me.

ICS transparent clock

Hey everyone, so I'm running golauncher ex with the ICS theme and clock add on but I'm looking for the transparent version of the ICS clock. I had thought someone had posted this somewhere on one of our boards but I'm unable to find it. Anyone seen this around?
Thx!

Here's an example of the transparent clock.

I hope this could help. I get the transparent lock screen every time I fix permission.

[Q] Transparent notification bar - Sense 4.0

Hi all.
I have HTC One V, not rooted. I don't like Sense 4.0, so I use Nova launcher. But I would love to have that transparent notification bar in Nova, so I was wondering if that was possible? I'm willing to root if it happens to be so.

Yeah, but will those status bars work under a different launcher (not the default one)? The status bar in Sense just works with default launcher, not with the Nova.

yea try PA, i use NOVA works perfeectly

Ehh. I saw a thread like this, don't know if it is possible. I can attempt, but I don't think it will work.
The way HTC made it is so the transparency doesn't blend with the background in apps like the browser. Rooting won't help you. If you want to, you will have to use a different Rom, non sense, or ignore it
Transparency also eats performance a bit.

Transparent Nav and Notification Bar?

Are there any devs or someone smarter than me, that could theme the top notification bar and bottom navigation bar to be semi transparent/fully transparent like how it is on the homescreen w kitkat, so when im in an app it could still be transparent instead of big black bars?
I'm a newb when it comes to editing ui files etc, thanks for the help.

I think when you update to 4.4.2 Google gave all the devices the transparency on both the nav bar and notification bar. Its even on the lockscreen too. If you open up some app they take advantage of it. Some apps don't such as fb. I think its up to the developers to update their apps. So I'm not convinced you need to modify your frameworks or anything like that its all enabled bone stock =]

yeah im just wondering, if its possible to modify the files to make it to where even if an app hasn't, the black will still be semi transparent, b/c im sure there will be plenty of developers who choose to not bother adding it

[GUIDE][MOD] Make Status Bar & Navigation Bar transparent in 4.4 Home/Lockscreen
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I tried this before on aokp jellybean, its ugly because the transparency isnt within the apps (just like iOS) but the homescreen you can see your wallpaper while inside an app lol i guess it all depends on the app if it wants you to use full emersion :/

Use gravity box module with xposed

Only nexus 5 has transparent bar, nexus 4 update to 4.4.2 cannot install latest android home launcher.

You mean like this?

Just went thru an rooted installed this mod, literally does everything, except transparency lol Thanks tho for the help/replies guys.

Just use a custom rom with it built in. Custom roms have had transparencies way back in the day. Where do you think Google got the idea?
Xposed does this well. You have to enable transparency AND have a launcher and touchscreen that supports it. If your launcher doesn't support it then it won't work. Gotta have both.
