Transparent status bar for CM7DX2 - Motorola Droid X2

I have been looking into this and some devastating who did cm7 for other devices like the incredible were able to make this possible. I saw a zip with 100% 75% and 50% transparent.
I really wish I was a Dec and could do this or I would. Is there anyone out there that can pull this together? I would be more than willing to test for you

It does all the heavy lifting for you. As long as you can use the find function in a text editor you should be fine. You'll only need to change one line, and it will tell you the line and what to change it to. Once you've done it it will give you two update.zips, one to do the mod one to undo it.

I have not been able to find one. I have searched the market and the theme app. I have not been able to find one. I think I actually found one that was labeled as transparent but it did not work

The cm7 themes with transparent statusbar rely on this patch. In other words, this patch wont make ALL themes transparent, but will enable the ones that support it to work properly. Otherwise they'll just "ghost".

that is what I thought. I still dont understand the page link you gave me. I thought it would be as easy as just following the instructions but it isn't

Yes, some themes for Cyanogen do have transparent status bar. Most of those themes, you have to pay for.

use online kitchen:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
transparency can be enabled in various percentage,also other stuf like fonts,bootanimations,windows,popups...etc
Or try this way if using wildpuzzle or dk custom, I couldn't figure out how to use the kitchen but this is another way to get it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912306
This is a theme for wildpuzzle rom which gives you a transparent status bar. I haven't tried the actual aerofire rom but I presume it'll give the same effect as flashing the theme over wildpuzzle.
There's also a theme called glassmod which will work on any sense rom (I think)which gives a transparent bar too.
These themes are only for sense based roms and won't work on cm7 etc.

[Q] Which ICS CM7 Theme Is This?

I've been going crazy trying to find a thread or a link to the market (I mean Play Store...screw it, Im still calling it market) but I cannot find this theme anywhere. I was just searching for themes around the web a little while ago to see if there were some good ICS themes that werent in the market. I found this one that is really awesome, beautifully done and I even think it added the ICS transition effects. I cant remember where I downloaded it from. It could even be a theme thats in the market. I want to figure this out because if this is a theme still getting worked on, I want to know about updates. And if it is a paid app in the Market, I want to pay for it. So if anyone has any clue about what theme this is, I will be very grateful. Maybe some of you are using the same theme.
I dont have much to go on, but the theme is a transparent theme. Almost all of the backgrounds in stock apps and third party apps are semi transparent and shows the home screen wallpaper. The default battery icon is a circular icon. And I'm attaching a screenshot of what it shows in theme chooser.
Again, if anyone knows what theme this is, maybe you can link me to where I can find it. Thanks everyone.
That pic isn't the greatest...but I think that might be the ICS launcher. Its really isn't the greatest launcher choice but its the closest I've seen to the full ics layout. I know you were looking for a theme, but that may be better.

Thanks. But I'm talking about a CM7 THEME that you install through the Theme Chooser. Not a launcher. The screenshot is just to show what the theme chooser shows when applying it. I know its not much but if anyone needs more screenshots to determine the theme, let me know and what to take a screenshot of.

Heres a few more. The dialer, Settings menu, and a popup notification. The background in those screenshots is just my home screen wallpaper. its not part of the theme.
When you pull apart a cm7 theme apk and repackage it, it will show up blank in theme chooser. Sooo.... it could be anybodies. Check and see in Play to see if it matches other ics themes. It might be sonnys. (Yeah, I totally said Play instead of Market.)
Hmm havent found one that allows that level of transparency.
Ill keep looking.
I'm starting to think now it might be a theme someone took and made changes too like was said. I looked in /data/app/ and saw the apk labeled as "com.uotkitchen.theme.icsandwichtransp026build318-1.apk". This theme should be available somewhere. Too bad I cant find where I downloaded it from. Its a very nicely done theme. I cant stress that enough. And it DOES add ICS transistions.

Translucent Status Bar

Hey themers:
I'm just getting acquainted with making small modifications to the system and am currently working from a stock 4.0.4 LPL based ROM. I would like to implement a 50% translucent effect on the TW status bar.
I've decompiled SystemUI.apk many different ways - as a non-system app, an app w/ dependencies (both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk), I've recompiled without any issues at all and immediately de-compiled to make sure my changes "stick", and they do. I then throw them into a flashable zip, wipe cache/dalvik, flash the zip and fix permissions, no go.
I'm following a guide that was originally posted in the GS2 forum that instructs us to do the following:
1) SystemUI StatusBar.smali - locate the "...Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V" statement and change the const/v16 above it from "const/16 v16, 0x4" to "const/16 v16, -0x3".
2) Go to res > values > drawables.xml and edit "status_bar_background" hex to #7f000000 for 50% transparency.
This didn't work on its own, so on top of that I also tried implementing the same sort of change mentioned in #1 above on both the PhoneStatusBar and TabletStatusBar.smali files. Still no go. The system boots no problem, but just no change in the visual appearance of the status bar.
Does anyone have any ideas outside of this on what smali file or statement in the above files might control this feature? I'm still digging but didn't know if others had attempted this. Thanks to any and all who are willing to help. I don't need anyone to look at code for me, just a gentle shove in the right direction would be fantastic!
+1 for this.
I'd love to see this work.

Does tw use a standard grey block to extend the background for the status bar? It sounds like it would and if that is do you could try adding that grey colour to an alpha channel on the image.

You need to modify the "tw_" variants of the status bar definitions to see anything happen, TouchWiz UI does not use the regular assets/definitions.

No problem, I spent most of last night working out how to move the system bar from the bottom of the screen to the top using a decompiled SystemUI from the TouchWiz rom for the Galaxy Tab. You might find that even though you make the bar transparent that the area behind it is black anyway (it is for me at least using the official 4.0.4 rom) due to it assuming that the system bar is being rendered there. I'm yet to figure out how to manipulate the rest of the WindowManager environment to fix the issue.

If you are on a TW ROM it won't work, it states in the first few lines of the OP it is only for AOSP Roms.
Also I believe the Xposed framework has an add on that allows what you're wanting.

OK, from what I've found you need to install the Xposed framework and then install the Tweakbox, the only problem is the tweakbox I've found is for ICS. It may or may not work. That was the way I found to do it in the thread. I will keep looking because there is still one that I remember reading that I haven't found.
Here is a blog link that says it works for ICS and JB so hopefully it will work, this one explains it with pictures so it should be easy to do:

Well that suck ass bad, it is supposed to remove it from both from what I understood but apparently it does not work. There were posts in that thread that said it didn't work either but there were some that said it did.
If I were you I would back everything up, via nandroid and back your apps up with Tibu, and flash Goodness. There may be other Roms that have it but the only one I know for certain that has it, without going and looking, is Goodness. There most likely won't be a mod made for stock if it hasn't already happened.
When we get official 4.2.2 then maybe, I believe the S4 comes with it stock so if we get the update soon ours most likely will too.

Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.
I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.
This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.
Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!
I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.

Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.

I am positive you have a great team over there, I will consider flashing the ROM if that feature appears there... Thank you

I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.
This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.
Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!

Yes in deed you are correct... I guess I should of mentioned that earlier in my post... The thing with that is you can see the difference in the transparency... I am very particular in how I like things to look... I would much rather it be gone.. But thank you for pointing that out...
Let's hope some one takes this challenge before N3 comes out...
This thread is pretty old but I too was searching how to make that black bar go away. I am on the 4.3 stock rooted and xposed. I found a way to do this within 20 minutes of searching.
Install the Tinted status bar module for Xposed
2) open systemui.apk
3) select all activities and slide the bars all the way to the left for the navigation bar tint settings!
Enjoy!!
