Hello fellow XDA users,
i am running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 for the LG optimus 4x HD (LG-P880) and i would like to change the transparency for the status bar.
i know there are lots of threads for this, but every one ive tried seems to just crash my system UI.
i would also like it if you could change the colour by app (i know paranoid android does this however, i have not found a stable build for the 4X.)
if you have any ideas on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help.
i am not very experienced at coding mumble jumble, however i do know how to build APK files etc..
thank you
To admins: im sorry if i have posted this in the wrong forum, but i am reasonably new and i was not sure where to put this​

No i mean like if you are in the homescreen, it goes transparent, then if you go on facebook, the statusbar goes like 50% transparent and blue, then you go back to homescreen and it changes to fully transparent again.
sorry if im not making this clear, and sorry if im bugging you

Hi All,
I am currently using the latest EWJet Rom and I really like it.
The only thing that surprised me was that in the previous versions, there was no transparency background (when displaying a menu, there was a dark background I could not modify).
In this version (3.5), the background uses transparency, and we get the homescreen background as a background in menus (instead of the dark).
I don't like this, I feel like I cannot ever find a background that allows me to see clearly the text in the menus.
Does anyone know how to remove this background transparency?
At the moment I just put a black background in my homescreen so that I can get a black background in the menus. So I would really enjoy a REAL solution !
Thanks
Can I get any help about this issue ?
In the recent posts of the EWJet Rom thread, someone writes something about a "no transparency zip" but I cannot find it...
Use search function.

Thanks for those answers, but it doesn't really help me! :-(
1) I used search before posting (even though this is my first thread on this forum, I am reading it for several months --> this is the first time I do not find the answer by myself)
2) I do not want to change Rom, I wrote that I like it. I personnaly believe it is the fastest Rom on X10.
Moreover, there was an answer to the guy who wrote about the "no transparency zip", saying that it only works for the notification bar, not for the menus.
Does anyone know how to remove transparency background in the menus ?

First of all, thanks for helping.
And yes, I mean settings ! (And system app backgrounds in general)
I do not know how you can solve this, but I am willing to learn if you can explain a little. If not, no problem, I am quite sure I will be interested in this later and search by myself.
have u tried the remove_transperacy zip provided with the OP of EWjet rom?

All you need to do is update the (i think 4) background images in the framework-res.apk and semcGenericUXP.apk (both in system/framework/) turn it back into the sony wave if you like but. on a side note.
does the rom have tinting or are the apps all FULLY transparent. eg. look at the atached pic.
the dialer part is FULLY transparent and the part where the numbers come up is 80% tinted

Hello everybody,
I would like to ask you something about Cyanogenmod.
I really love the features and all that stuff, but there is one drawback keeping me away.
The colors are absolutely horrifying, is there any way to tweak them to look just like 'default' Samsung?
Thank y'all !

Grab yourself android sdk, 7zip, image editing program, apk tool or apk manager, notepad++.
Once you have all them you're free to change what ever colours you want.
Isn't the Theme Chooser still supported on CM 9 ? there are plenty of themes in the market.
I'm sorry was not clear enough, I don't mean themes but the actual colors!
Twitter for example is like yellow on CM7

Really? Unless twitter has changed from blue to yellow that's not possible since the app is from the twitter developers, you either have a defunked screen or a setting applied somewhere in your phone settings.

If anyone of you have or know the MOD please do link here i tried searching but wasn't successful thought i'd just post here and request if anyone has or can make one small mod i'd be very much thankful.

This is my current Rom: PardusHDROM_S4_ED_VIII
Beside that can't this mode be used with any other roms that are 4.1+ i thought mod would be easier and helpful and wont drain battery as stand alone apps do, is main reason i wanted MOD.
Maybe some one can extract it from another ROM if they know it will work, if you know one, feel free to share, i am really desperate for this stuff i need it badly.
Cheers

I'm on the stock rom (4.1.2) i'm wondering if someone can edit my SystemUI.apk to make my status bar looks like official Samsung's kitkat
You could always try Nova Launcher, pretty sure that has the gradient status bar. That would be easier than modifying the system ui.

Hope you saved a copy of the original file. Yeah, I've tried dabbling with system files in the past, but had similar results. You have to get pretty seriously into it, and there's a lot to learn. Gives you an appreciation for what the developers actually do.
Developers usually do what they are interested in, rather than what someone else is interested in. I doubt if anyone with the skill to do that is still using or interested in this phone.

Hi,
Hopefully i'm posting this in the right place...
Does anyone know of a replacement for the Xposed modules that provide you with the Android L software buttons and change the colour of the status bar to match the app's theme colour. I like ART too much to change back.
Thanks

What phone/ROM are you using? Many custom ROMs have status bar theming options and are using the Android L software buttons.

Well, I know LiquidSmooth has the L buttons as well as Slim Recents, but it doesn't have the color changing status bar. I'm afraid I can't be much more help than that; the problem is I've tried about 20 or so different ROMs on my Nexus 4 in the past couple weeks and I can't remember what features each ROM has. But there's gotta be one that has these 2 features (if you're willing to change ROMs, that is).

Okay. I was hoping to keep the same setup due to the performance and battery life I've been getting.
Thanks anyway.
