I've been trying to make the status bar transparent for hours with no success. I've edited android.policy.jar, but everytime I edit the xmls of SystemUI it crashes.
Anyone?

well, theres nothing more i can do atm
edit: Make backup of phone and the apk
try to open systemUI.apk with WinRAR. drag out res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_bg_title-png.
then use a photoeditor and make it transparent. Sava as png and with interlace:none.
now delete the original png with WinRAR and drag and drop the new one inside. Close it.
replace it with your original with right permissions. Reboot.
i dont know if it will work, but it worked for me on ICS before, if im not wrong..

Hi all, first i'm sorry for my poor english and thanks to anyone can help me After long time of searching how to modify an apk, i decided to modify systemui.apk to change notification pulldown background. i was very happy when i decompile, modified and re-compile in success. And i put modified apk to phone and waiting for good result.But i lost my statusbar and home button was in wrong position ( plz look at attached image ) So i tried 2 way to sign modifid apk : use winrar add META IFF folder straight to new apk and in other way i put back resource.arc file to the new apk after extracted from it. Hmm the resut was not like i hope. So any one here can tell me which step i was wrong or something like it and how to fix to get better result
Again thank in advance to everyone :good:
It's probably the image that's wrong.
You try to flash the rom or use the Backup and then set the lock screen by the member Xda post

Hi guys this is my first post here in xda!
I'm here to ask a thing:
When i unboxed my XPERIA PLAY I and turned it on i looked to the black status bar on the phone framework and looked to the box framework that was more beauty and was blue with white icons.
Can someone tell me if its possible to get the original blue framework like the image i have posted above, thanks in advanced, and sorry my English :S.
The photo of the box us edited with the computer. The statusbar looks on every xperia play that is on stock "ugly".
You must be rooted and edit the systemui.apk to get this

My PLAY is rooted, and i have 2.3.4 with it, what things i need to edit in systemui.apk and where do i get those files?
Thanks.
Which theme did u use?? I think its a theme effect. Try changing it to blue.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It's not a theme effect, it's actually older amdtroid version. I remembered my friend's X10 android 2.1 stock has this battery style.

You'll need to modify the battery icons inside framework-res.apk then push it back into system. Maybe you can ask someone to theme it for you

One more thing, do a nandroid backup before you modify. And make it a flashable zip and flash it via CWM.

Thx a lot in advance !

What line(s) in statusbar.xml need changed?
its the one with clock, only one line has the word "clock"
thx for help !

I just deleted the lines for the clock in that xml. I obviously didn't test it, so make sure you know how to recover if it doesn't work. The .zip that is attached is NOT flashable. I also put a working 4.2.x apktool in there with instructions for you to do it yourself if you want to in the future. It's pretty easy to do if you have a working apktool (I compiled this one from paulobrein's github since he edited the source to be compatible with 4.2).
Thank you dude i really appreciate..
This is, what i call help. Thanks and thanks again.
Cheers :good:
edit: i also tried yesterday with apk tool and succeed to decompile and recompile, sign the apk.
the strange thing is that the file goes from 1.5 mb to 1.12mb just by deleting one line
Indeed, it doesnt work. I dont know what's the problem

The size change might just because the zip is compressed more or less. It doesn't always mean anything is wrong. You can decompile it again and compare the contents with the original to make sure everything is there. Do you know how that mod is usually made? Is deleting the lines the correct way?

Have tried the edit myself,with SystemUI, dont sign it, open the original and copy META-INF and androidmanifest.xml over to your new file,let me know if it worked.
Just rename to SystemUI.apk and push to system/app and reboot
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.
