[HOW TO] Status Bar Transparency For CM7.2

First of all, credits should go to nims11 for this. I pm him and asking how to do that, it worked so I thought to write an extensive tutorial about this. Of course I am not held responsible if something goes wrong, read carefully instructions though it's quite simple, don't mind long explanation, is meant for new users too.
STATUS BAR TRANSPARENCY - WHAT YOU NEED!!!
1. This was tested on CM7.2 on both deodexed and odexed version. Also will work on ICS2. Probably will work on CM7.1 too but haven't tried this. Don't ask me if this will work on other modded versions of CM7.2, I don't know, and I am not willing to try.
2. You need a theme that supports transparency in status bar like Meizu, LunarUI, MIUI, Naked Simplicity, Orion and much more. Theme list can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167075
3. You need ADW Launcher along with theme to make this work. Remember to uncheck wallpaper hack in system preferences.
4. You need Root Explorer or similar app to be able to do have root access.
5. Before proceed with the method, backup SystemUI.apk from system/app (deodexed version) or both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (odexed version). A simple copy/paste to your sd card will also do the job.
PROCEDURE FOR HAVING TRANSPARENCY IN STATUS BAR
DEODEXED VERSION
1. Download this file http://www.uploadking.com/V7YWUIJ3UO and transfer to your SD Card (any directory)
2. Use Root Explorer and COPY file
3. Go to system/app --> Press the Mount R/W button on top of screen --> Now Paste. A message pops up to confirm that you want to overwrite file. Press Yes.
4. You will then get a message that systemui stopped responding. DON'T WORRY. Hold power button till phone reboots
5. When it reboots you won't have status bar. DON'T WORRY, IT'S MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS.
6. Use again Root Explorer, go to system/app, press again the Mount R/W button --> then find file SystemUI.apk --> Long press it till a menu pops up --> Click Permissions, it should be as this http://imageshack.us/f/843/screenshot1323167924787.png/ So permissions under file should be as rw-r-r
7. Reboot phone --> YOU'RE DONE.
ODEXED VERSION
The procedure is exactly the same as deodexed version BUT BEFORE DOING THIS YOU NEED TO DELETE SystemUI.odex from system/app using Root Explorer and having pressed the Mount R/W button in order to do so.
So when you're done and lets say you are using MIUI Theme it should look like this http://imageshack.us/f/856/screenshot1323169878975.png/. Different theme will have different icons or different transparency level, transparency is really theme dependant!
DON'T PANIC
1. If it doesn't work then probably you did something wrong
2. Remember that you have backed up original files so you're safe
ALTERNATIVE METHOD VIA CWM (as nims11 suggested) - ODEXED VERSION ONLY!!!
Just flash this through CWM http://db.tt/vlQvk1Nx

Thank you John!

Odexed version
Install directly from cwm

are you using odex version? I haven't tried this method myself, I did it manually. Check permissions on SystemUI.apk, it should be as rw-r-r.

I tested it on my odexed rom then gave here
I not want to tolerate such question like i lost my statusbar... so i not started thread
he pm me so i gave him
and by saw thread gave odexed version for odexed rom user
so if working with your good if not use other method of using deodex methos from first post

I managed to make it work, sorry for the trouble i've caused and thank you
Also, a tip as a small contribution for people who don't like adw launcher like me. If you want to have a transparent status bar while using a different launcher then you need to download multi picture live wallpaper from the market. Set your prefered wallpaper through multi picture live wallpaper and the status bar is transparent no matter what launcher you're using

yes it work... also nims maybe you can give us your transparency bar with center clock system UI too... it would be awesome... thx

I'm still waiting for a proper tut

If anyone wants full transparency just replace every instance of @drawable/statusbar_background by @color/transparent.

If you know how to use apk manager and in which xml reference to statusbar_background is located you should be able to do it.This is not for freaking noobs.

CM7.2 systemUI
just want to help. here I made flashable. but before you flash you must delete SystemUI.odex using root explorer > system > app choose SystemUI.odex and delete make sure you has mount rw first, if you get FC for SystemUI don't panic, reboot to recovery and then flash it via recovery. don't forget to mount /system first...
all credits goes to him...
MAKE BACKUP FIRST OF YOUR CURRENT SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex
EDIT : SORRY MY FAULT. THIS STUFF ONLY WORK IN CM7.2 ROM BASED.

I think you must extract SystemUI.apk using apktool. and find value @drawable/statusbar_background then replace with @color/transparent find in some files with xml extension. I recommend to use notepad++ for editing xml extension.

[MOD][4.1.2]Smart Rotation Enabled

For some reasons the Smart Rotation feature is not enabled on our Grand, thank you very much samsung aka sam sucks.
But fear not my XDA friend, for Uncle Fab has made it available for you, right here and right now:silly:
This mod is for 4.1.2, but if someone wants it on 4.2.2 I can make it as well (in this case you'll have to upload 4.2.2 SecSettings.apk and framework-res.apk). You have to be rooted, and probably deodexed (although it may work on an odexed ROM, but since mine is deodexed I can't tell for sure).
DO A BACKUP, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING.
YOUR PHONE, YOUR RESPONSABILITY!
INSTALLATION:
Easy, download the attachment, flash it through CWMR or TWRP, clean cache and dalvik cache, reboot.
Open your settings, go to display and enable Smart Rotation.
Done!
Have a look at the 2 screenshots...
Where's the download link?
It's here:
https://hotfile.com/dl/244763247/3450416/SmartRotationGT9082.zip.html
Enjoy

is it not available for 4.2.2?

which rom are u using
your DPI looks less then 240
can u give me the link of rom u using

As stated in op, if you want it for 4.2.2 upload your settings apk and your framework-res.apk somewhere and I'll do it for you.
My Rom is home made unclefab's Rom but sorry, I can't upload it for now cuz my current connection is too slow. Anyway, change your whole phone's dpi to 180, your androidsystem.apk to 110 and your systemui.apk to 130, and you'll get more or less the same look.

can you make guide or make it for s3 mini ?

Yeah, sure, just upload your secsystem.apk and your framework-res.apk here, and I'll do it.
Otherwise do a search, there are some tutorials to do it on your own...
