Transparent NT status bar with and without clock - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Purpose
I like a transparent status bar. I usually use UOT kitchen but of course that doesn't work on the NT. After a bit of a struggle I found a process that worked for me. If you, too, would like to remove the black status bar, try this out (CWM back up first!!!). It looks good!

Base files
Since I use the big Minimalistic Text homescreen clock widget (Neutra Text, font lovers) I used my Clockless as starting point (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21669132&postcount=43). I've also included a clocked version.
Clockless and Clock are mods of xecuter’s outstanding left-handed ICSbar systemui.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21616265&postcount=35), which is itself built on revcompgeek’s systemui hack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415075), which is in turn based on stock. If you're building your own you can use any of these systemui.apk's as base.
Process
First I turned off the wallpaper hack in ADWLauncher, without which the transparent status bar cannot work. No idea how this plays out in other launchers.
I applied Aaron M's method to the systemui.apk (http://www.lazytrap.com/?p=314):
--.png edits to statusbar_background.png and status_bar_background.png, among others
--"const/4 v5, -0x3" edits to SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\statusbarservice.smali.
This method alone did not work for me. I also made .png edits to statusbar_background.png and status_bar_background.png in the framework-res with no luck.
Finally I achieved success by changing the two android:background references in SystemUI.apk\res\layout\status_bar from "@drawable/statusbar_background" to "#00000000". This forced the xml to draw a transparent color instead of pointing to a .png drawable.
The resulting status bar was transparent but the icons were still in black boxes. The navigation icons were in systemui.apk and the others were in framework-res.apk. You know the drill (and if you don't google "android theming'). I've attached my icons should you want to use them.
I've attached a .zip of my framework-res and systemui-apk for your reference. If you wish to install these files, be aware a LOT of miscellaneous mods are contained within, such as:
--Snowball Mod by cfoesch
--many dividers are transparent
--string edits to remove NOOK(c) references, replacing with the word "device"
--blah blah blah blah blah. Can't remember everything.
Only use these files if you've got your current setup backed up in CWM. I take no responsibility for any damage you might do to your device by installing these mods.
For newbies
Get rooted; get Root Explorer; download the .zip of your choice to the device's SD card; navigate there in Root Explorer; long press to extract; say yes to go to /sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted; long press systemui.apk and select move; navigate to /system; mount RW; paste; long press and change permission to rw-r-r; long press to change owner and group to root; long press to move; navigate to /system/app; paste; accept the warning; reboot. Do the same with framework-res.apk except place in /system/framework instead of /system/app. Reboot. If you get a boot loop or other major problem restore using CWM.
Happy transparency,
R

That is very nice. I would love to have a version of that with the clock.

Dude, was that there in the beginning? If so, I'm a dufus. Thanks,

No way! I edited the post.

Good, I don't feel so bad. This looks really great and installed no problem. The only issue I see is that in Dolphin HD, the status bar background is white, so you can't see the battery indicator or clock. No biggie, though, as I don't use it that much.
Thanks again!

the icons have a grey glow, but for some reason they don't show up when some apps are running until you touch the con. Try it--touch the space where the "menu" icon should be.

No, I see the icons, just not the clock or the battery icon. But again, it's no big deal.

Should changing the framework.res have removed my Google account info? No big deal, I just signed back in, but that was the only change I could think of that I made.

[MetaMorph]Minimalistic Mod v1.2

This is a morph theme based of Minimalistic Black Theme by UltraLinx with a mod of the notification bar background of VatSense by Vatri91.
Please do a nandroid backup first since i don't own a Vibrant i can't test the undo files so please let me know if they work fine.
(taken from the Evo 4G Black Bar Mod post)
WARNING:
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Settings -> Applications -> Development.
If you're using the standard TouchWiz launcher, this morph will remove the Messaging icon from the bottom dock. To get it back, open your applications, press menu, view type, customizable. Menu again, then edit. Find the Messaging icon, drag it back into the dock, then menu, save, menu, view type, alphabetical grid (or whatever you had it on before.)

Ignore that and go to existing theme and choose the .xml file.

Framework-res hangs forever. Everything else workes fine. Text and phone force closed at first, but a reboot seems to have fixed those.

Looks cool. I did 1.2 and it I guess does not have the cool background over the 4 shortcuts in the drop down.
Looks good, about to run it on my international Galaxy S, will let you guys know how it goes.
Same issue of framework-res.apk hanging, but everything else seems to be running fine.
I saw you m mentioned black apps metamorph... Is that a theme from the market or something?
Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...
Dont mind the skidmarks...
S15, did you flash this on top of my morph? I did and mines the same way... Still no words under the 4 quick shortcuts..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
how long does the install take for everyone... mine hangs for quite a long time, and i usually pull the battery...
^^ correct, that is what I did... It's a shame, this theme looks sexy.
Will have to flash back to stock if coming from my morphs I guess.... And delete all the battery Icons if you have a segmented battery animation...
Not sure why this isn't working for any of you guys. Both versions flashed for me on the first time without a problem. I am using Vibrant7 now.
Though I have noticed a few things that might cause problems with installing any metamorphs and here are a few of them...
1. Lag fixes...For some reason with some of the lag fixes I have noticed that metamoprhs no matter how many times you try don't apply like they should. So if this is the case for your lag fix the solution is simply to apply the metamorph before you apply the lag fix, and then it will carry over with your lag fix. Just make sure you get it right before you apply the lag fix or else you'll have to redo everything again.
2. Turn on USB debugging...sometimes this causes metamorph to freeze up if it is not on.
For those of you just looking for the icons and all black bar I have made a mash up of this Minimal theme and Black bar Gloss theme because it has more of the framework mapped at this point. It seems the update zip will flash correctly regardless of any lag fixes that may cause interruption in Metamorphs. So I use
the zip each time I wanna make any modifications and just add the edits into it.
I made 2 flasheable versions with Fightspit's Super Circle Battery version E and an accurate battery mode i made for the Captivate if someone wants to try and make versions for the Vibrant would be nice since i'm not sure if i will have the time to do it because of a hurricane and storm alert was announced for the up coming days.
Captivate theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760106
Yeah i dunno whats up with this morph, maybe it could be the lagfix but heres a screenshot of what it looks like after i finished...

I didn't knew the Vibrant twframework-res.apk was so different since the i9000 and Captivate are similar sorry i don't own a Vibrant to test themes i updated some files you can try it and let me know how it looks so i can update the thread.

[Theme] ICS Theme S8, UnNamed, Cog X2 Updated 11/7/11

Update 11/7/2011
Reworked the contacts to look a little more black, small changes though. Also reworked the stock clock to be more a little more ICS.
Here is a theme I've been putting together for Serendipity 8.1 over the last few weeks based on ICS from the system dump.
The theme will work with S8, UnNamed and Cog X2 at this point in time.

}
I've modded the keyboard, most of the usual system apps like mms, contacts, phone etc and modded the stock lockscreen to have the same clock font as ICS... and more
The only problem is that I cannot for the life of me get the notification text color to change to white. So if you can fix then post up the files and I'll add it in.
I don't plan on porting it to other roms or updating it often as pharmacy school has been pretty cumbersome lately.
Usual stuff:
You flash at your own risk, if it breaks your phone it isn't my fault.
I highly recommend you back-up any files so you can revert if you please.
If I missed anything, I can't think of it now...
Thanks to:
ssconceptz for the files for the dialer!
tysj for the cleaner looking signal icons

It should work, there isn't much difference between the two roms but I can't guarantee it.
Looks a lot more complete than what I was working on! One thing I did notice is that the signal icon seems to be a bit larger than the rest of the system icons and a tad bit blurry. The icons I was working with seemed to be a bit smaller to match the height of the other icons. I'll attach the SystemUI.apk I was using in case you wanted to compare those icons
Thanks for theme!
i think there's a new Serendipity version coming any day now, so i'll switch back and try it out then. i don't like the stock green on most of these. i don't get why Google doesn't include color choices.

It shouldn't. That is what I did when I ported a white theme (FROST) over from Nexus S to Captivate...... I had to make the text black. So I'm not sure whats going wrong there.
All you're changing is text colors.
I love this theme except for the ugly blue/yellow bubbles on a black background for the messaging app. Is there a way I can revert to the stock messaging theme while keeping everything else?
works perfect on Cog X2... thanks

yea.... just use root explorer or supermanager(its free) and replace the mms.apk from whatever rom you want. Just make sure R/W is enable when making the change or replace it in the them flash and reflash it.

Hi!
I'm new here, and I've recently rooted my HTC sensation. I'm loving some of the mods that are out there. I'm just curious as to whether this mod will work with the sense 3.5 and GB 2.3.4?
I had a look at the UOT Kitchen and I think I'd like to have a mess around with that too, see what i can come up with. But for now, how do i edit the framework-res.apk to remove the battery (I have my own sense theme with %)? I'm still a n00b at all this and i don't wanna brick my expensive phone.
Thanks for any guidance!
I keep getting some black on black text, like when I'm downloading or using Google music, idk if that's out of your control or not,but I was wondering if there was a stock notification bar anywhere ? Or would I have to reflash the rom ? other than the black text sometimes all is swell with this mod
needs updates to 1.2. as far as the black text on black problem,it's because those apps were set with black text with developers assumption that everyone had a white background
Werd, I updated and all is swell.
Will these work with v1.2?
Edit- doesn't work with 1.2. I got a status bar fc and no status bar. Thankfully I did a nandroid. An update for compatability with 1.2 would be awesome. Pumped on all the support the rez is getting. much better than the d2g. Thanks for all the hard work.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Hay Andy, any plans to update these to 1.3? Thanks.
OP Updated
MODs updated to reflect ROM v1.3!
Unreal! You are the Man! Thanks, now I can update to 1.3!!
I was afraid to try the UOT kitchen because for most PNG's it won't support higher than 960x540, and I was nervous of it making some systemui.apk and framework-res changes that I didn't want! It works for Rezound in some instances, it must be, I take it?
Also, Pardon my ignorance, sir (as I cannot figure it out by searching, it seems),
but what is the MMS Fix, exactly?

[MOD] Blue and White battery% + Status toggles mod (Based on p3001ee's) HD Icons

Completely re-done this mod based off the great status bar mod made by p3001ee
This is an ICS mod with status bar toggles and the battery changed to my custom percentage battery icons.
To install just flash in CWM. Tested on stock ICS and KA10 but should work with any.
Now four versions!
StatToggle_BlueBattery.zip - Blue battery
StatToggle_BlueBattery_BBar.zip - Blue battery plus brightness bar
StatToggle_GreyBattery.zip - Grey (desaturated) battery
StatToggle_GreyBattery_BBar.zip - Grey battery plus brightness bar
UPDATE (20th July) I have replaced the toggle icons with higher res images and the nice gradient bar.
This is the blue battery version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

}
And this is the grey/white version with brightness bar:
Let me know your thoughts and please hit the Thanks button if you like this
Yeah thats looks pretty sick, well done.
What about a version with the outline of the battery removed, might make it more even compared to the other icons?
I can't use it to confirm .73 right now but i will be soon.

So taking the great work of kahei036 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24297751&postcount=14 I have further modded the battery to blue instead of green as I use a blue theme across my XS. I also moved the numbers down which I think looks quite slick. It goes orange below 20%, red at 10% and glows red at 5% as in kahei036's original.
Screenshot:
To apply I used Root Explorer. Unzip the below and copy the framework-res.apk to your sdcard.
With Root Explorer move it to \system (you'll need to enable read/write) then change the permissions to rw-r--r--
Then move it \system\framework overwriting the one that is there (you might want to copy the original out first for backup)
Reboot and you are done!
I am using this on .67 firmware but it should work with .73 as the Android version is the same. If someone can confirm that'd be great.

or tell us how to do it XD

Thanks for the great work
Can you please tell us how to do it ??
It's actually quite simple. All I did was pull the framework-res.apk out to my desktop and open it with 7zip. Inside is a res folder and inside that are various 'drawable' folders. The Xperia S is an XHDPI device to I pulled out the drawable-xhdpi folder and inside that are all the battery icons. The painstaking bit was manually editing every icon with GIMP
Once that is done, you just put the drawable folder back into the apk (drag and drop it back into 7zip) and then push the framework-res back to the device.
It's easy really.
I am working on the mod for ICS now. The battery is in SystemUI.apk for that but the process is mostly the same. Looks like the XML in drawable will need editing too though as standard ICS only has about 5 stages of battery images instead of 100
Updated for ICS, see the first page for details and downloads
Great!
Charging icon does not move (im now at 95% batt charging)
worked like a charm
thanks

SystemUi Clock Mod + 1% Battery

Ok....here are some some additional mods to the systemui. They include the mods Nottach already implemented along with the centering of the clock and I made it a little smaller then the original. Also I have included 3 additional ui's that have either 100%, 75%, 50% transparency on the statusbar. Please remember to copy your original systemui.apk and odex file to a .bak as a way to return back to the original system files and remember to change your permissions on the new systemui....
Remember MOD at your own risk...If you follow the directions given in all the other posts you will not have any issues...
All of these files have the centered clock..
I fixed the transparency on the 50 percent which was actually set to 100 on the circle battery mods...
100 Percent Status Bar
75 Percent Status Bar
50 Percent Status Bar
Centered Clock Only
All percents with Regular size clock
Small Centered Clock and Circle Battery All Transparency
Big Centered Clock and Circle Battery All Transparency
Please remember that these are not flashable....just a regular zip file of the apk..
Thanks to KryptosXLayer2 for his xxhdpi battery..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41154701

I have noticed the smart stay eye never goes away with this mod. Other than that it is awesome. I would like to get 1% battery with this and it would be absolutely perfect. Thanks for this!
Waiting for AM/PM removal
1) will this work on tmobile gs4
2) what icon theme are you using
100% Transparent works great on my device. i'm using your mod on the OTA'd version of the ATT GS4.
Great work. One thing I noticed is that with the 100% transparency file I still see the outline of the notification bar on my home screens. It looks like how I would think 75% may look.
Anyway, great work none the less. Was just curious if anyone else had it the same?
Edit: Works flawlessly on the lock screen

How do we get rid of the ATT icon for 4G/4GLTE. I miss 3G/H+/4G (what it should be!)
The 4g/lte icon is sweet.

Are you using a custom launcher? If so, make sure you have "show shadows on top and bottom of screen" OFF.
That did the trick for me.

Search for the build.prop thread changing that will give you the icons you want

Cant you just report to a mod instead of waiting for one to see your post?

Can someone explain how to replace the SystemUI file? This is my first Android phone and I'm still trying to get a handle on all the modding. Been an iPhone user since the original and I have to admit, there is a bit of a learning curve.
Thanks.

1. You'll need a file manager that will give you access to the device's system/app folder.
2. Once you have access, rename the current SystemUI.apk to something like SystemUI.bak.
3. To inject your replacement SystemUI.apk, use adb.exe and enter the following command: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app. I do this via my PC while using a USB connection.
I understand you may or may not have some "pieces." Post your needs and we'll proceed from there.
