This is in no way a mod or anything. I've customized my phone just a tad, and figured I'd share it with you guys!
So.. What is this? This is just a few color codes for your status bar. This will make your status bar different colors per app. Screenshots are at the bottom.
Global Color (Seen on the AT&T Screenshot) = FF222323
XDA Brown = FF342500
XDA Orange = FFCA7B01
Chrome = FFE2E1DE
Messaging = FF222323
Infinite Campus (For College and High School students) = FFA0CF35
Gmail = FFDEDEDE
If you've never used ParanoidAndroid (Hybrid Settings)
RootBox: Menu>Settings>Hybrid Settings>Apps>(Choose App)
If you need to know more just ask, also I've only used on houstonn's Vanilla RootBox, the best ROM out there of course. If your running SnowJB, hit the back button, your out of luck, Sorry.

As a somewhat new user to a ROM with Paranoid Android features, I finally got around to setting up some custom colors. thanks.
A tip for anybody trying to set custom status/nav bar colors:
I take a screenshot of the app and open it in an app like THIS to find the hex value of the topmost color in the app.
Probably an old tip/easy to figure out but I haven't seen it before. :laugh:

I have a question, so I'm on Bajee's rom Vanilla RootBox 4.2.2 JB with hybrid settings and I've tried ur technique to change my status and navigation bar. But everytime I try to change some other setting then the two revert back to what they were originally. But when I go to look y the color has changed my colors that I picked r still there. I'm using a theme made by Kroz if that makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

I'll get there...The solution cannot be far off from what has already been documented. However it seems others have not yet been able to do it on this device...probably just because there are more pressing projects underway. Guess it's up to us noobs lol

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.
Just a thought

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.

Hey all,
i'm owner of a S3 for about 2 weeks now. I've read a lot of stuff in this forum and a few others and im just asking here for
stuff that i couldn't figure out by myself or find in an existing thread.
My phone is rooted and it runs Crdroid 7.1.
Now my phone fits almost all my needs, all i want is to change the status bar because i really dont like this blue.
When i did run CM10 i installed a theme but in Crdroid there is no such "Theme" section in the options.
So what are the best ways to change it?
Translucent status bar + center clock + another Battery icon are already installed since it comes with the AROMA installer of Crdroid.
And is there a way to get rid of "this blue" everywhere in the UI besides the status bar?
Thank you very much in advance

There are apps in the market that allows you to modify ur statusbar..
Otherwise, there are flashable zips you can flash from the themes&apps section

isn't there any way without an app running all the time ?
sersly is this such a big deal ?
I doubt I'll do much more with this. I took the parts of other things that were out there and rolled them up how I liked. The majority of this is from nitsuj17, some of it I got other places, and some of it I made myself.
Anybody who knows me knows I like some color in my status bar. I did not want to make a whole ROM, so I made this.
This is for a deodexed stock system.
It has:
Wake with volume keys
Hidden GPS icon
Hidden debugging icon
AOSP recents
Rotating Rosie
5x6 app drawer
Remap recents button
Hidden NFC icon
Advanced Power Menu
Removed three dots menu
Centered clock
Accurate battery
And of course, the colored icons in the status bar, and the custom lockring!
I think that's it. Flash it in recovery.

This is nice, but, why can't I find a volume wake zip for stock rooted deodexed anywhere? Could you please help? Thnx
Thanks for this. It's a good combo of tweaks/themes. Running on top of stock deodexed/rooted rom with cubed 2.4.2 kernel. Almost TOO much color in the status bar, had to switch from stock wallpaper to something more colorful!

How did you modify the lock ring? I didn't think m10 tools were updated yet, and I've tried editing the theme apks but it didn't work.

Great job mate! The colours are perfect. Any chance for a circle battery mod with similar colour
Status bar color is quite limited and doesn't change everything.
I'm looking for something to change the colour of the status bar icons and the transparency. Is there anything for that without changing system apks?

I would recommend taking a look at Omega Status Bar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calsto.omega.statusbar it offers numerous customization and theme options if you don't want to have to edit system apks.

i wouldn't call it imposible. picture this: an app made by you running directly from android. you can select everything as you like and preview as you like. you can even select a custom background of your own (how cool is that), then, after you have selected everything, that app generates the zip, and you flash it.plus, it gets better, the app can have updates with new keyboard styles and everything. ofcorse this would require more programming, but you could eventually even add that app in the playstore and if it gets popular you can have it work for other devices as well.
edit: I would like to set a purple background that would have the purple color, yahoo's purple since I mainly use it for messaging. also a background lightblue skype color would be nice.
edit2: btw I think there's an error on the Auto-Correct selection, the first two options have identical description.
edit3: for anyone that would like a custom wallpaper to the keyboard, I presume you can do that, entering the zip file and photoshoping files found in this folder with the ones you like. TNi605AnyDPISamsungIMEAroma.zip\kbbg\redbullbg\res\

I can add common app colors if you'd like as far as an app. .um mm don't really want to get into that lol. .and there is no typo.. one says with "short press delay" and the other says "stock press delay"

you're right, no typo. concerning the colors, no need for extra options for me, I will install photoshop and modify that redbull theme to my liking. again, great job. thanks. but concerning the users that don't want to spend time into photoshop, here's a thing you can do, see if you can do another kind of installer, one that has best combinations, so that no mater what combination of colors you choose, you're always ending with an awesome result. I ended up with really weird results for example when selecting purple twice.
edit: something's missing from the keyboard. I flashed the s4white keyboard before flashing this one and I think this is the reason why transparency doesn't work for the background. when I select the totally transparent background, the result is a black one. even though i checked, the files contained in the transparent nebula theme are indeed transparent. how can I fix this?
edit2: wait, actually it is transparent, just that there are certain apps that place a black background beneath the keyboard

Lol the best combinations. . Everyone likes different things and if, for instance, I put purple background, black text and black keys and someone chooses those options it won't look good.. but if they choose what I laid out for a request.. The purple/silver theme.. it should look pretty good
Yea the background with transparency all relates to certain apps.. so apps that call theme.holo will be transparent but if they call theme.holo.light or an app has a certain custom color it will call those.. There is no way, I think, I would be able to fix this unless you modify all the apps and that is not going to happen:thumbup:
