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.

Has anyone tried this??
It's in the top free downloads on the market, and I definitely recommend it!
It has the fly in effect when you open/close an app (a la iPhone) which makes everything feel so much more fluid.
Obviously HTC widgets don't work which is a shame, and its a little buggy being a beta, but you should try it!
Just downloaded it to give it a try. I like it.
The only downside is there is no choice of what to put on the bottom bar. I don't use the people or stock messaging app. If I could change them I'd probably use this over helix 2.
Busy trying it out now - it's extremely quick. I think I'll keep using it for a while, see how it goes.

The standard helix is actually better then this one. Especially in speed and customization

agree,
the only thing thats stopping me from using a launcher is no htc widgets and not being able to customize the grid of icons on the desktop so 4v4 only :<

how can you change the grid of icons in HTC Desire to more than 4 icons ???
Also i think that the Sense launcher is by far the smoothest and the best so far. nothing can beat it in speed, fluencity and HTC widgets.

Have you tried to use holo launcher? :| It works for phones running group or above.

I'm using holo launcher now. It replaces the home and app drawer and such but not the status bar and that's what I'm looking to replace.

there are some 3rd party apps that can use for a custom status bar like statusbar + or something like that, but you cant tweak the existing one w/o root
Thanks I appreciate the info
Andy has some really nice looking ICS themes.
Check out his SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 ICS theme. http://www.teambamf.net/topic/2044-...for-skyraider-zeus-13-inc2-port-of-clandroid/
Or his BoneStock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412661
He does great work. They all do, but I'm partial to Andy...in a totally bro-friendly, non-gay way.
What values would i have to change to make the app drawer in our SENSE launcher transparent?
Can someone please teach me step by step?
i don't believe anyone has figured this out yet
I'm waiting for a semi transparent appdrawer.. But i guess it's pretty difficult
Yeah, no one I know of has found it yet. I've done tons of background changes, additions, redirecting. Nothing works yet. I've been thru about half of the Smali in Rosie looking for a hack, but no luck yet. Hopefully soon someone can crack it, its one of my favorite mods as well.

some of us like sense. Thats why the majority of people buy the Device it for the nice widgets & features that are rendered useless with a different launcher.

I understand, but it is very difficult, for the moment, find that file. in the meantime if you want to have transparency, I suggested an (valid) alternative.
Goodnight rayford see you tomorrow!

Are you using any, like battery monitor, or anti-viirus app, which shows up on ur notification bar, under on-going.
If yes, disable it and try. this might prevent installation.
Let me know what happens
Best of luck
it's probably not compatible with JB and Sense4+ have a look through the themes and apps pages, there's plenty of JB compatible skins there

Nope. If you want to change icons without rooting you'll need alternative launcher like Apex, ADW, GO or Nova (which I prefer the most). All of them are free (but you can buy full version with few features added). Check them out on Google Play.
Yes you can... Get Desktop Visualizer from Play store... And you can put your custom icons for anything......
