Flash from recovery, both odexed and deodex roms supported.

Note: Latest Nova beta gives transparent statusbar without any mod.

1: Download the correct version: 9500 or 9505
2: Place the zip on internal/external sd
3: Reboot into recovery
4: Flash zip
5: Reboot

The zip will remove any systemui.odex file if its present in the system/app folder.

(Do it yourself):

1: Use apk-tools to decompile SystemUI.apk

2: If you get an error in decompiling the apk: remove the
"system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" from the layout folder
(SystemUI.apk\res\layout\). Do not forget to add the files back after compiled the modded the statusbar.

3: Go to the decompiled folder \Apk Manager\projects\SystemUI.apk\res\values

4: Open drawables.xml with Notepad++

5: Change
Code: 
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff1e1e1e</item>
to

100 % transparent :
Code: 
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00000000</item>

80% transparent :
Code: 
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#88000000</item>

6: Compile the apk, add the 2 files back if you removed them


7: Add the apk to the updater zip.



Update: more on setting the transpancy:

A good software to get the color codes:

http://download.cnet.com/ARGB-To-Hex-Converter/3000-2192_4-10565877.html

Some numbers:

#00000000 - black with 100% transparency

#3F000000 - black with 75% transparency

#7F000000 - black with 50% transparency

#BF000000 - black with 25% transparency

Are you sure you've installed the right version? OP has i9500 in the attachments and i9505 in the box.com link.

OP, is it possible to make a file where the notification bar is dark grey (like the original) instead of black when used with apps please? I have an i9505.

Doesn't the transparent background work properly with scrollable wallpapers? I've noticed that it works fine on the single-screen lockscreen:

But doesn't align properly with the scrollable homescreen wallpaper:

It seems to draw its background from the centre of the wallpaper:

Is there any way to fix this, or is it just an embedded feature of the transparency option?

    I have tried wiping cache as well but still unsuccessful for 9500 ODEX ROM. There is one thing that I have noticed that the stock SystemUI file is 2.37 MB whereas the one provided in this thread is around 2.7 MB. May be there is some difference in the SystemUI files for certain ROM versions which is causing this.

    Very strange, i will have a test zip for you to try soon.

    Ok, attached zip: ONLY 9505 version!
    BIG warning, i do not have the 9505 so make sure you make a nandroid backup first.
    The mount points from PIT-file so it should be OK.

    Change list:

    Code: 
    ui_print("Formatting Dalvik Cache");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29", "/data");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");

ui_print("Formatting Cache");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p18", "/cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");

ui_print("Deleting odex file");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "/system");
delete("/system/app/SystemUI.odex"); 

ui_print("Install Systembar");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
