Root [International] Transparent status bar?

[funkylogik]

Like on the s4.. is there a mod for that and how do i do it?
Im on Neat Rom/Siyah kernel.
Cheeers

 

[SUroot]

Yes there are mods on xda for it

 

[funkylogik]

Cool. So how do mods work? Do i just download and flash it with CW mate? No wipe or anything?

 

[silentwitness]

yup most of them would be a direct flash via the recovery no need to wipe.

I just GOOGLE'D "transparent status bar",seems there are also options for non-rooted devices in the GOOGLE PLAY STORE:

[funkylogik]

Cool. Thanks peeps :thumbup:

 

[funkylogik]

Oh yeah. Ive tried statusbar+ before n wasnt impressed. It puts like a skin over the statusbar which is really unresponsive but thanks :thumbup:
Il look for a mod when i get a chance

 

[funkylogik]

man.. i dont mind admitting that XDA is over my head lol.
So do i have to search for a mod specific to the rom im using or just specific to the device?

 

[silentwitness]

im not 100% sure but i think its specific to the firmware version you are using. I did find the below link which gives a guide to doing it but i would wait for SU or someone to assist before doing anything as neatrom is not mentioned in the link as supported.

Thanks buddy. So i download, move to root of internal sd, install with recovery?

 

[SUroot]

Yep

 

[funkylogik]

Sorry. Been doin a well overdue backup. Thanks mate
Off topic but whats the "blobs" folder in clockwork for? Its takin up a hell of a lot of space

 

[SUroot]

It's part of your backup.

 

[funkylogik]

Thanks man. So how do i know which ones i can delete? (Old backups)
Think i should just delete the whole CW folder and do another backup? I dont really care about the stock backup..

Thanks everyone. Got my statusbar and notification looking HOT

 

[funkylogik]

 

[SUroot]

I dunno mate - thats the new CWM backup format. I prefer the old one as it's more human readable to me, so I stick with that

 

[funkylogik]

Yeah. I do like that its touch though.
Think what il do is wait till i can face firing up the old laptop, make a copy, then delete the whole folder. Cant believe how full my ext Sd has got lol. Just did a bit of spring cleaning though.
thanks for that link mate. My 1st mod went smoothly and doesnt seem so scary now
Pity the transparent statusbar is only in home screen. Think the s4 is the same? (Non transparent in apps)

 

[SUroot]

Whats touch?

 

[funkylogik]

CWM mate. Touchscreen i mean instead of usin the Vol button

 

[SUroot]

Oh I use philz which is touch. You can also change between new CWM backup format or old.

Are you sure your eMMC is safe to use CWM mate? Don't want your internal memory dieing....

 

[funkylogik]

Umm.. i dont know mate???
Dont want it dieing either...
