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

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.

Which rom/device have you confirmed it working on?
Doesn't work on Nexus7 (2012) ROM:CM10.2.1
Edit: working now!!! But please add "navbar height in landscape" because on tablets navbar is still in stock dpi in landscape mode
Works on Omnirom 4.4.2 Huawei Ascend P6, atlough the statusbar size is a little buggy. Combined with App Settings it can be put into good use for resizing the statusbar.
Click "Apply" anything did not happen.
Excellent!!!
This might be of interest for at least a few.
This mod enables the navbar / softkeys on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 running near stock TW rom (STS MK4). I have been searching for a mod that does this, as i've tried the manual editing of the CSC to disable the hw keys but never worked for me.
And I can shrink the navbar to 24 pts!

What are you trying to change

Not much success on my S4, either. The status bar never changed, and I got intermittent effects in some apps' title or action bar. Yes, I rebooted after each attempt. I'm looking forward to trying updated versions.
Things working/not working
Working: statusbar height, action bar height
Action bar title size is kinda working, it shows up when I open an app, but when it fully loads, text size is back to normal
Not working (and tested obviously): statusbar icon size (could it be an incompatibility with gravity box icons?), toast message distance from bottom
Also, loading previous settings causes fc, and ad cover the "Visit XDA thread" button.

This module replaces the values of dimens.xml inside framework-res.apk. It requires a reboot in order to reload these settings. I'll look into XuiMod and see how they're doing it, i suspect they have some sort of background service like GravityBox

Nope, already did, and didn't helped.
Maybe you are not aware, but G2 notification bar has big height comparing to other phones, so maybe it is already moded somehow especially that LG G2 heavily themed comparing to usual phones.
P.S
I'm using the stock ROM with 4.2.2 android.

status bar size fixed in new update, check first post on this thread
Requires Xposed Framework by rovo89. Special thanks to him!
Change the style of status and navigation bar when in “Translucent mode”!
You don't have to be bind to the KitKat gradient if you are on a AOSP ROM, and also you don't have to be bind to any ROM manufacturer's implementation of it!
As long as the implementation is close to the AOSP version, this module can easily replace it to one of the 11 styles available in this module (maybe there are coming more in the next time).
The currently available styles are:
KitKat gradient
Customizable gradient
Full transparency
Android “L” style (a solid, a bit darker colour)
Sense 6 style (like Android “L”, a bit lighter)
Customizable solid color
HTC Sense 5 Style
“CarBlend” style (use only with darker backgrounds, otherwise it's hard to see the icons)
“Halo” and “Bracket” gradient (gradient with curvature)
“Cutter” style
Sony Xperia style
Please, feel free to tell me if you have any suggestions which styles I should add.
Download from Xposed Repository:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.woalk.apps.xposed.translucentstyle
This module does nothing but exchanging the overlay for translucent system bars.
Read the thread a bit, and you will find many people thinking other things, and you will find the solution for it faster than you think, if you think this is a bug or something.
Without saying you should understand that this only works on KitKat (4.4+), and that the translucent mode has to be enabled to see the changes.
If it does not work with your ROM:
Please post a link to the ROM you're using. It should be a ZIP file (or any other typical compressed file like Tarball, RAR, ...) I can investigate.
If there is none, consider uploading or linking to your SystemUI.apk and every *.apk file in your /system/framework directory.
Then I'll look into it and check if it is possible to expand the implementation of this module to your ROM's SystemUI.
Should work with the following ROMs:
All near-AOSP-based ROMs (CyanogenMod, Google Editions, ...)
HTC One M7 4.4+ and M8 Stock-based ROMs
LG G3 Stock-based ROMs
Samsung TouchWiz-based 4.4+ ROMs
Sony Xperia 5.x ROMs
Known bug:
Xperia style on xxhdpi devices.
Works perfectly fine together with Tinted Translucent Status Bar, making TTSB's design changes way more unique!
Have fun with it.
Changelog:
Version 2.5
Added support for Xperia Lollipop. Thanks @szpuntoo for testing.
[*]Added use of Material Design on Lollipop.
Version 2.4
Added (rudimentary) AOSP Lollipop support.
Version 2.3
Fixed HTC Sense NavigationBar in solid style always reverting to black.
Fixed Variable and CyanogenMod image styles showing up as something different.
Version 2.2
Now user has to specify whether an engine should be used (fixes "improper use"-FCs)
Added CyanogenMod-specific engine.
Version 2.1.1
Settings to control which engine is used.
Version 2.0
New engine: should work with more ROMs.
Solid color and gradient are now customizable.
New style: Xperia.
Version 1.0
Initial release.

Disabling high-end graphics is wrong, I think, then after that every translucency is also deactivated...
Does it automatically detect status bar colours?
Great idea, But how this module works? I selected android L style, but in the apps the statusbar is always black...

Don't confuse, this is not the functionality of this module.
What you're looking for is Tinted Translucent Status Bar which I linked in the OP.

First paragraph: If you want this, check my other module TTSB (link in the OP or in my signature), there you can enable it on apps also.
Or check the module "Force Translucent KitKat".
Both can be combined with Translucent Style module.
Second paragraph, first question: select "KitKat lighter gradient", or am I misunderstanding something?
@Woalk this module is working with ttsb but doesn't with tsb, can you fix it?
godlesplay said:

No. TSB overwrites any usual system settings of system bars, which Translucent Style also is (TSB's source code calls it "fake gradient" what its drawing when the window is translucent - it's not the default implementation). That's why I don't like TSB.
I'm sorry.

I also did that before I had enough experience to code it myself.
And it would be very nice to have a TouchWiz user here, so maybe I can expand the "working with" section. Please tell me your experience and provide a SystemUI.apk if it does not work for now.
Marvellous - thank you very much

There is one option that actually works: L button style. But that's all, yes. TabletKat is a port, not a look-alike, so it uses completely different code. Either it should explicitly support GravityBox or GB should explicitly support TabletKat to work together.
I have had good luck using Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons module, but I am not using tablet UI so it may not be any better for that set up.
Edit... Tried it with tabletkat and it works except I couldn't get the fourth button for menu to show up.

It could be done, but since the apps won't be adapted for it, it might well obscure some app buttons at the bottom of the screen, so I am not inclined to do it. But if you want to, you can take the source code and just change opacity = 0xff to whatever you like in Hook.java.

Edit: Turned out, it interferes with a button on my installed calendar app. I can't click a button at the bottom. I had to un-select my calendar app in LSposed. For my other apps, this module works fine so I still use it.
I just added two nav bar options in addition to black:
- 50% translucent
- match status bar (white when status bar is whitish; else black)

Hi @arpruss , would you consider adding another option for the nav bar to match the status bar color? For example when status bar is blue then nav bar is blue also.
Works perfectly on Oreo, thanks a lot
Hey, sorry for multipost but I wanted to push it to the top..
I'm on Oreo with the last, fully working version of Xposed as magisk module.
I noticed that some apps fail to "acknowledge" the navbar with your module enabled and that results in bottom bar,if they have one, being behind it and not being able to see or use it.
Can you please look into this issue?
Thanks for the module, I've been looking for something like this. Been using Nacho Notch to simulate something similar.
Seems like it can create some oddities in some apps. For example I've enabled it for YouTube (Vanced) and when I try to post a comment it refuses to show the comment box above the keyboard. Very odd issue, but it's fixed when I disable the module.
Also I cannot force the statusbar to be black?

Yeah, I had the same problem.
Some apps even don't show the bottom menu if they have it.
It's really a pity cause I use both navbar customized with GravityBox and Xposed Edge for gestures and can't imagine my life without both of them lol ;P
So I have to bear the white navbar for now
What if I want some black navbar to white?
