[Q] Anyway to Get old Froyo "Silver" statusbar on 4.2? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Really miss the old launcher, and status bar from the original Android, you know "silver" with the gradient white statusbar and white look.
Is there anyway to change my statusbar to be silver, and does anyone have an old silver launcher? (1.0 - 2.2) I am really sick of the new Jellybean look and want to revert back!

For silver Launcher, look for Venom Home, and for the status bar idk what options are available besides Espier Notification, Super Status Bar and the Status Bars by Team Syndicate. (Espier never force closes, I mean NEVER, but the other ones do force close).

Gross.
Also, whether the app force closes, depends on the phone. They may not force close on buddy's phone. Status bar+ is probably your best bet. I believe they even have a status bar that is made to look like the old status bar. Icons and all

Or you could theme it yourself

CM10.1 Theme with white status bar icons as only change

Can anyone point me in the direction of a CM10.1 or AOKP theme where the only thing that changes from stock is that the status bar icons, specifically signal, battery and wifi are white instead of Holo blue? Either that or a theme that replaces the status bar with MIUI bar icons but maintains the rest of the UI would be great as well. I tried one called HoloWhite, as well as a couple other minimalistic ones, but with those some of the icon styles changed.

Looking for exactly the same thing... Did you guys find anything
I would also like this. Still haven't found anything.......
@rosswhite @oae08 @krackerjac @bcparker
This works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318311
Also flash the Paranoid android icon zip (page4) if you have trouble with default icons of your rom.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918500
also wondering if anyone has found this. dont want to deal with Xposed or anything like that either....and would prefer to have it in a theme chooser app as I switch ROM's from time to time. If anyone has a stock theme .apk i could modify it, but i just can't find one. the CM10.2 template is completely different from stock.
sorry to bring this back from the dead.
I'm looking for that white icon them too...

Transparent Status Bar??

Did the HOX+ always have a transparent status bar on the homescreen or was this added by the latest update?
mine was always translucent.
I honestly can't remember if I had it before the update or not, but the reason it's sticking out to me now is because of the 1 second delay it takes for it to switch from solid to transparent when going back to the home screen.
Oh well. I like it transparent, just don't like the delay.
Yes and only when using stock sense launcher, not with others.

[MOD][XPOSED] Custom Status Bar Opacity [1.0][HTC 4.0.3+]

New Xposed Mod: Custom Status Bar Opacity
This tiny mod makes the opacity of the status bar (when it is transparent in lock screen or launcher) easily configurable from the mod's UI without reboot. Notice that it will not change anything if the status bar is not transparent at all (e.g. in apps).
=> This helped me getting white status bar icons better readable on bright launcher backgrounds but as well lets you make the status bar permanently solid or fully transparent.
Limitations
Works only on HTC stock-based ROMs version 4.0.3 and higher using Sense launcher (simply does nothing on other devices)
You MUST accept that you use any modification at your own risk
If you want to try it, follow these steps:
If not done yet or included in your custom ROM, install the Xposed framework as described in this thread (requires root)
Install the attached APK and activate the module in the Xposed installer (this is also described in the framework thread)
Reboot
ChangeLog
Code:
[B]1.0[/B]
- Initial release
Hope you enjoy and let me know. Great thanks go to @rovo89 for this fabulous framework.

It works indeed on stock sense launcher, but it doesn't do anything in adw launcher.
Is there any way to get it working with this launcher too?
Many thanks

I'm afraid not with version 1.0 or a quick solution based on it. I'm currently working on bringing this to Samsung's TouchWiz with a more generic approach, which makes it very likely to be working in ADW launcher as well. But this may take a while, so please stay tuned.
By any chance making this mod for Galaxy note 2?

Transparency on TouchWiz status bar works differently. This is HTC specific, since it covers the Sense-specific switch between transparency in launcher and no transparency in apps. Certainly, it could be done for TouchWiz with not that big effort, but has low prio for me currently. However, I have a device running TouchWiz, so make myself a note to look into it sometime.
Works great ! thank you !

If you add some kind of option for a solid black status bar this would literally be the perfect mod.

Did you try to tap the mod in Xposed installer, which opens the mod preferences, and to slide the opacity slider completely to the left (0%). This will make your status bar solid black.

It only makes it solid black on the home screen and in the launcher, it reverts back to the gradient in apps.
It is working great and looks nice.
Thanks for your great mods

Great mod works perfectly... Would you be able to create one that disables the messaging app from notifying on delivery reports??? I want to have delivery reports on but the notification on the status bar gets so annoying!!
Not work on ARHD 10.2 with Dark Theme

Can I change the status bar icons on the Verizon variant of the phone?

I would really like the stock Android status bar icons. My main gripe is that 4g/3g takes up a whole other icon instead of being combined into the cell signal. Any chance of modifying these without root?
This is always my complaint on Verizon phones. They insist on messing with the icons. I have not figured out anything yet, besides using a material status bar app from the play store, but the problem with it is the status bar will not go transparent on the home screen with Nova launcher. Once we can get Andromeda or Substratum support, it opens up a whole new world.

So close! This lets me enable/disable various status bar icons but not change them. Thanks though.
Found it! An app just called Status. Transparency on the homescreens only works if you have a non-live wallpaper tho.

Cool, thanks. I was really hoping to avoid just overlaying the system status bar, but that might be the only way unfortunately.
