like the title sort of say's, i would love a transparent notification menu.
However, when i make the png for the background transparent, it just turns black. *see attachment*
is there any way to make it transparent or is it a no-go?
You have to change a line of code in services.jar
Decompile it using baksmali
Then in the folder services open up com/android/server/status/StatusBarService.smali
Then use find to find 'const/4 v5, 0x2'
And simply replace with 'const/4 v5, -0x3'
Then compile with smali

that doesn't seem so hard =)
i'll give it a try, thanks
EDIT: ehmm, how do i use baksmali and smali?
maybe someone can post a more detailed tutorial ?
I want a transparent service-popup, too
If your using Linux or Mac, I suggest using ThemePro to make this easier
There's a windows release but I don't know how well it works
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
m8 we need an explanation on how to use these things, theres not much of an explanation in theme pro either. if you could kindly provide a step by step guide to get a transparent notification status background it would be much appreciate.
I'll post it up in the morning. Midnight here so I'm not on the computer

Thanks for the link mate. will def try it out!
p.s. i think translucency depends on the png file you put in the framework.
This is only for 2.2 roms .
Could you make one for 2.1 modaco?
Thanks!!
Where do I push the jar file to, to have this on my droid?
edit: can I just flash the zip using recovery?
sorry, I am unsure.

you can extract the service.jar and the background png from customized 2.1 roms such as pays's bravesoul or Amer's v4 and push them to your device. hvn't tried it out but should work=)

i still hvn't done so thou.. coz i'm using 2.06 based rom and lincore made it for the official 2.09.
It's not really hard to do it on your own:
First download smali.jar and baksmali.jar from here http://code.google.com/p/smali/
Open the services.jar file for example with winzip, 7z, winRar, or whatever.
Unzip the classes.dex file to your sdk/tools/ folder and place the baksmali and smali file there too. After that open a new commandbox an run following line:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o out/ classes.dex
You'll have a new folder now called "out". Browse to "out/com/android/server/status" and open the file called StatusBarService.smali with a text editor like notepad.
Search for ".line 1773" and you'll find also "const/4 v5, 0x2"
Just change this to "const/4 v5, -0x3" and save the file.
Open again a new commandbox and run this:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out/ -o edited-classes.dex
Now you'll have a new dex file called "edited-classes.dex".
Delete the old file an rename the new in "classes.dex".
Open again the services.jar file with any zip tool and overwrite the classes.dex file with the one just created.
Now search the status_bar_background.png file in the framework-res.apk and make it transparent.
You're done!
THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON DEODEXED ROMS!
Otherwise you won't find a classes.dex file in the services.jar!
You'd have to deodex all files before!

Right, I'll be the token slow chap. I followed you right up to where you say "Open the services.jar file for example with winzip". Where do we find this file?
Open your ROM with a zip file manager, browse to /system/framework/ and there you'll find the services.jar file!
If you want to edit the file from the rom you are using, type this in a commandbox:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
Don't forget to make a backup of the file or a nandroid backup!
Thanks for that - found services.jar. However when I do a search on StatusBarService. smali I can't find a .line 1773 (or the string 1773 at all come to that). I'm using OpenDesire. There are lots of other files called things like StatusBarService$1.smali and similar.
I will be releasing the fix on my rom sometimes next week , and I will not compile this for every set up / theme / rom out there but if you know what you are doing this is pretty easy fix
Here is how the fix works :
Our present kernel source is 2.3.4 and we are running 2.3.6 base . So I looked at what was different in the wifi files from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 and there you go .
Files attached at the end of the post are 2.3.4 JVQ (already modified for JVU)
(fyi these files come from apk manager just rename your jar files to apk to decompile them then copy the files attached at the end of the post in there respective places )
_framework.jar :
delete: \android\net\wifi\WifiStateTracker$1.smali
and copy paste the files attached and recompile
_services.jar :
copy paste the files attached and recompile
_'etc' folder copy paste into your /system folder in your rom/Phone
(not 100% sure its needed but better use them anyways)
IF you are not on JVU you need to change the ids manually , the names of the values are written in the smali so that will make it easier to port to other versions .
Tested on Belkin router (the worst of them all) and on public wifi with no dhcp assigned . after an hour no disconnect flawless victory

I could have kept this to my rom but I put it out there for all rom to use
This fix really works

As said in OP, until built for any ROM version: Be your own developer!
Adb pull the system .jar files, decompile with dependency, edit, compile, rename, adb push result.
are a beginner and I did not understand anything ,more clear PLEASE if you can, thanks!...I think your work is useful
I think many people could do with a step by step guide for this if anyone has the time to do it
Please note our desires about this topic...declared above..thanks!

I think that dagr8 explain very clear what needs to be done (but you need to have some experience with decompiling and compiling).
Here what you need to do in case you are on jvu:
1) First off all you need the latest JDK and JRE installed on your system.
2) Then go here to learn how to set up apktool.
3) After the setup of apktool pull the services.jar (services.odex if you have odex rom) and framework.jar (framework.odex in case of odex rom) and put it in your apktool folder
4)
a. If you are on deodex rom you only need to run these commands from the folder of apktool (go to apktool folder and press ctrl and shift -open command window here)
Code:
apktool d framework.jar
apktool d services.jar
You will find two new folders (servicesout and frameworkout)
Then do what dagr8 said in op.
b. if you are on odex rom: get the latest baksmali from here
then pull all your system/framework to your pc and put baksmali.jar there.
Open commant window and write:
for sevices:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -c :core.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:core-junit.jar -xa 10 services.odex -o services.jar.out
for framework:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -c :core.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:core-junit.jar -xa 10 framework.odex -o framework.jar.out
Then do what dagr8 said.
5)Both deodex odex: get the latest smali from here
Put it in the folder with out folders and write:
for services:
Code:
java -jar smali.jar sevices.jar.out -o classes.dex
you will find a new classes.dex file.Open services.jar with winrar and drag and drop (overwrite) there.
Then for framework:
Code:
java -jar smali.jar framework.jar.out -o classes.dex
Same here (open the jar with winrar and drag and drop)
5) if you are on deodex rom you finished just push the new services and framework to the system along with the files which provide dagr8 for etc folder.
6) if you are on odex...go here and follow the guide from the part odexing back...
I hope i helped!
Thanks a lot dagr8 for this!!
can dev provide the public.xml that this was made with for comparison of ids?
Thanks for your time and explanations given pantrif13 and dagr8, expecting something more simple ... you can install the CWM (example) ... so (who knows it's easy anyway)...expect other solutions!!!to solve the problem with wifi...
Great job. Thanks

Hey, if you upload the android.policy.jar (found in /system/framework) from the XXLEF ROM I can do this for you. If it's not deodexed I'll also need the android.policy.odex.
Alternatively you could DIY using the instructions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585309
Thanks Atarii!!:good:
but i have a problems on it,
I've extracted out a files from android.policy.odex and edit the KeyguardViewMediator.smali successfully, but how to compress it to a android.policy.odex............? Can you teach me?
:crying::crying:
Here is my odex and jar files
Thanks again Atarii!

Hey,
Good work getting the file editted. :good:
After you made the changes to the smali code, you need to compile it into a classes.dex file:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
(Where out is the name of the folder with the smali code in)
Now drag that classes.dex file into the original android.policy.jar (keep a backup of the android.policy.jar somewhere else).
Then follow the steps from "ODEXING BACK" in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208320 :fingers-crossed:

1. Decompile
java -Xmx512M -jar baksmali.jar framework.jar
(creates folder "out" with de-compiled data)
2. Make changes
3. Recompile
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
4. Open the framework.jar (not open in window, but open in zip manager) and drag the classes.dex into the open zip window and replace the existing classes.dex.
Download smali and baksmali from HERE
Whenever I decompile my android.policy.jar with apktool all I get is a folder called android.policy.jar.out with the file apktool.yml in it. Whenever I decompile any other jar or apk it decompiles all the xmls and resources just fine. I got my android.policy.jar from the /system/framework/ directory. The jar was only 303 bytes so maybe I am missing the files or something. Anyone have any clue why this is happening?
If it helps, I did the if framework-res.apk command and it mounted it just fine and I can decompile other jars and apks just fine. I am on sgs-i747 4.1.2 TW stock.

After its recompiled open the android.policy with 7zip and add the new classes.dex to it, it will overwrite the old one
