Transparent lockscreen status and navigation bars on 4.4? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I haven't done the official 4.4 or 4.4.1 OTA update on my FHD N7 but installed the first snapshot build of CM 11. On the default launcher and Nova, transparent SB and nav bar work fine but they revert to black bars on the lock screen. I tried searching here for an answer bur couldn't find the appropriate thread, can someone point out the link to me?

Transparent bar

Hi everyone.
recently i ntoice there were a andrio update to 4.2.1.
before the update, i have been using HD revolution ROM for my nexus.
But after the andriod update, i couldn't flash the transparent notification and navigation bar from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882381
So i decide to try out the PA 2.99 which came with the transparent bars. but when i use a different launcher, the transparent bars goes back to normal, i would have to use the original launcher to have the transparent bar. anyone have a solution to this?
all i want is the transparent bar on a different launcher
thanks in advance
no one know any solution to this ? :crying:

As raghavsharmaxda correctly said, status bar and notification bar are the same, but Notification drawer is different
If you are on stock, then the status bar is already transparent by default in TouchWiz launcher in recent 4.2.2 but only for the lockscreen and launcher.
Although if you are on a custom launcher like KitKat then the launcher might have an option to toggle transparent status bar on/off.
If you use modules to manually select the color of the statusbar to 100% transparent there's a good chance that it'll appear white or some other color on it's own depending on the app you are using.
You see apps don't have the color of the status bar defined, they assume your system will do it on it's own.
Advice : if you are using modules to make it transparent, then expect it to be transparent all the time. If you don't want that then simply use the default Touchwiz launcher or a launcher that supports and/or has an option for toggling transparent status bar.

Yes like I said in my last post, using xposed modules will make your status bar transparent for all apps too.
And sorry I don't use any kitkat launchers or intend to. You'll have to try around and experiment with different ones.
I can recommend you Next Launcher, it has option to toggle transparent status bar but it's not even close a kitkat launcher.
AFAIK transparent status bar option on all launchers will only work fine on Kitkat. On JB it will always appear solid (transparent or not) , no transparent gradient.
@iceyhotguy @naufalhadyan Thanks Guyz

so... I've just got the new lollipop update... now in need of help!

The new lollipop update has just been officially updated on my new lg g3. But I've noticed a few different things that I'm now unable to change. One being a very annoying one! The top status bar and the bottom nav bar....
I use Nova launcher and there's a setting on there that if your device allows it that the top status bar will be set to full transparent (not just translucent)... this now no longer works?! Instead I have a dark overlay as the status bar and the same applies to the Nav bar. If I use the I.original home launcher then it does at least become translucent again with a gradient effect.
Is there any way to have a FULL translucent status bar again on lollipop without rooting it? As I didn't really want to have to root this phone. But these small UI changes make all the difference to me! I just can't understand why something like that would be taken away :-\
Try the Google Now Launcher After you install it, you can switch it from Settings > Home.
And if you'd be interestedin Nokia ZLauncher, it's a cool new thing, it's simple and minimal. it uses Try to download from Google Store if it says you can't or not compatible with your devide, you can grab the apk file from THIS THREAD
I hope this works for you. let me know.
where are you from ?

Xtana or other status bar mod

Has anyone successfully manage to get Xtana working on a 5.1 lollipop rom such as gpe or other aosp based rom?
I'm looking to make the status bar look like the status bar from miui v6, or dare I say it the latest ios.
I tried it a month or so ago, it partially worked but not all the icons changed. The battery icon remained the same.
Failing that, anyone seen a mod that can duplicate the status bar of miui v6/7 or ios?
Thanks.
