Nothing special here, just a couple of apks to get us closer to the correct KitKat look.
There is an updated MotLauncher2.apk that has the transparent status bar enabled. In addition, it was modified to remove the dock divider, and use the KitKat apps icon. Also, a 5th icon row was added, but over(under)laps the QSB making it unusable. I only made the change to fix the uneven spacing of the stock 4 row launcher.
There is also an updated SystemUI.apk that replaces the awful signal icons VZW stuffs down our throats with the stock icons from KitKat. All of the other status bar changes were accomplished with Xposed and GravityBox. It should be noted, stock only uses a 4 bar signal, so technically I cheated and used the 4bar for both level 4 and 5.
I am not responsible if you can't follow instructions and brick or otherwise render your phone inoperable!
You must be rooted and on KitKat.
How to install:
Download files
Reboot into Safestrap
Make a backup (just in case)
Select Mount and check System
Open a command prompt (terminal) and navigate to location of downloaded files
Code:
adb shell
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.odex
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex
adb push MotLauncher2.apk /system/priv-app
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Reboot
This was something I did for myself. I will not be making any other modifications or make any custom versions of these so please don't ask. I will attempt to assist anyone having trouble getting it on their system, but it's pretty straight forward and I'm not in the habit of hand-holding.
Enjoy!

Thanks, that's pretty cool. I was able to copy / remove the apks using root explorer.
How do you go about making the status bar battery and clock white? Mine are still blue after the update, maybe its something with me lol...

Can I ask what mods you did to SystemUI to get the AOSP look? I want to do my own mod, but changing the same bools.xml values as I've been doing for the Moto X hasn't worked out completely, and still left me with the ugly huge space next to the signal bars. Also, did you find what makes the icons continue to turn blue and show activity arrows like on JB? Thanks!
Replaced all the drawables with the stock ones from kitkat. The vzw versions are wider, which is why you get the ugly gap.
As far as them turning blue, that is gone from kitkat, but if you use the JB icons, you can emulate the functionality. To make it "really" work like JB, you'd have to rewrite the network controller classes. They were heavily modified for the vzw icons to work.

Next to the signal bars, the extra space for signal icon or letter such as "H" or "E". In your screenshots it's gone like on Nexus phones and stock KitKat, but flashing the SystemUI from the OP leaves me with it

Hey guys,
So I decided to take a stab at altering SystemUI.apk to uncenter the clock, but I've run into some problems. Just FYI, I am total noob at this so I could be doing something incredibly stupid, but oh well.
Anyway, I was able to successfully decompile the apk, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml to set <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock... android:gravity="right">, build the apk again, sign it, and push it to my phone, however after all that the status bar just does not show up. I don't think it's the decompiling, building, or signing that's messing up because I performed all of those without editing any of the xml files, pushed it to my phone, and everything worked perfectly.
So what am I missing? Is changing "center" to "right" really enough to kill the statusbar? Do I need to edit something in framework-res.apk or some other file to be compatible with the new SystemUI.apk? Or is it that I need to change something in the smali folders as well as the res folders for it to work?
Any ideas that you guys have would be awesome. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something simple, or if I'm in way over my head with this stuff and need to do more than the hour and a half research and trial and error that I've put in so far =) Thanks guys!
There's a bit more to it than that
There's some moving around to do too.
I attached the original status_bar.xml for you to compare to. (it's already decompiled)
If you wanted you could just replace it with this one. Thought it might help to see what all was changed.
(the attached zip file is not flashable)
Don't sign system apps either. Signing may be why it isn't showing up but I've never signed a system app to know and without looking at it I think you need to put right|center not just right and I am not positive but you may need to move the padding of the status bar icons to the left so there is no overlap.

Hmm, something is still wrong. I tried editing the status_bar.xml again, but the status bar still wouldn't show up. Then I deleted the file that was there and pasted in the stock status_bar.xml that Kane posted, pushed it to my phone, and still no status bar/notification pull down. Am I not compiling the apk right?
I'll be on IRC for the next 40 minutes or so if anyone wants to hop on and help me out =)
Did you compile the apk after replacing the XML?
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
Yup, I actually finally got it to work and just need to tweak a couple things. I took the SystemUI.apk from the latest ICK.zip update, modified the SystemUI.apk file, then created a flashable zip for it. I don't know if it was using a flashable zip that worked, where just using adb push didn't, or if starting over with a different SystemUI.apk was what did it.
@kane: BTW, do you know the hex color code for your ICK theme icons? I was trying to match the color for the clock, but it's slightly off. And Thanks for the stock apk, without comparing the two, I never would have figured out the format for putting the clock back =)
@beamer: Thanks for the heads up to not sign the apk, worked without doing so. That was an annoying step anyway =)
the stock ICS colors are 33B5E5 and 0099CC
I used 33B5E5 for all the edits I did in the ICK theme
0099CC is a little bit darker
I didn't read the whole post but after pushing systemui did you reboot if you don't reboot you won't get a statusbar

I did. I'm thinking the problem was actually the dalvik-cache, maybe? After i got the clock right aligned, i tried to hide some of the status icons like mute and the alarm clock, but i couldn't get any of them hidden and it was driving me crazy. Then i decided to wipe dalvik and it worked perfectly.

Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.

This mod enables the nav bar on the Droid Maxx (and proably the Droid Ultra), disables the capacitive buttons. And i recommend installing the app from the link below.
This mod uses the framework-res.apk from after Software Update 1 (12.15.15 for the Maxx). I do not know if it will work on the earlier verison.

!!!! THIS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP !!!!
But, it is pretty straight forward. Unzip, read the "read me", and follow the install instructions.
If anyone would like to help and show me how to make this SafeStrap flashable I would really appreciate the help. And it will allow this mod and future mod to be more user friendly.
Your instruction in the readme is a little off, "cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/" should read "cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk".
Otherwise, it did enable the bar, but did not disable the capacitative keys. Also, if anyone uses the long press on recents for menu key emulation, it does not work on the on screen buttons.
Finally, you can use the shell command "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/nutton-backlight/brightness" without the quotes to turn off the capacitative lights, instead of using the app linked.
Otherwise, thanks for the mod! I'm kinda a fan of the onscreen buttons, just haven't had the time to figure it out myself.
Here is an attempt at a flashable zip, haven't done one in a while and can't test as I don't use safestrap atm.
Feel free to test at your own risk, the most likely error is that it won't mount system correctly, in which case it won't install anything. In that case, just mount system manually and try again.

Its super easy. Decompile, go to res/values/bools.xml, find line that has show navigation bar change to true, then find show menu bar and change to false. That's it.
Hello,
here i present you the moto x 4.4 white status bar for droid maxx, ideal to use with gravitybox to get the whitish kitkat look.
Obviously Root is required.
Simply put The file in System/Priv-app.
backup the original file just in case you dont like it.
and restart the phone.
These icons ARE NOT VERIZON UGLY 4G/3G Icons.
This file doesnt change Clock and Battery color, thats why you need gravity box.
if this was useful to you press thanks!
Can't you just adjust the colors to white in GravityBox? What is different with this? Just curious.

It's similar to the systemui part. The thread I linked has multiple apks.

Can't you just adjust the colors to white in GravityBox? What is different with this? Just curious.

it has the moto x icons for 4g lte, lte, h+, 3g, e and wifi, the icons change, not just the color.

Its not the same as that because he only changed a few icons or the most used ones, like 3g, 4g and lte, but other than that it shows default blue icons, this one has all the icons from the white kitkat, as its extracted and pasted on the systemui.

Four-bar signal
Jaocagomez said:
Hello,
here i present you the moto x 4.4 white status bar for droid maxx, ideal to use with gravitybox to get the whitish kitkat look.
Obviously Root is required.
Simply put The file in System/Priv-app.
backup the original file just in case you dont like it.
and restart the phone.
These icons ARE NOT VERIZON UGLY 4G/3G Icons.
This file doesnt change Clock and Battery color, thats why you need gravity box.
if this was useful to you press thanks!

I actually noticed this with gravitybox too. Not sure why that happens.

Never noticed it move. But I did notice the traffic monitor sometimes covered part of the vibrate icon and wifi icon

So, a little while ago I deleted the systemui.apk. and started using apps such as pie pro and tiny apps for basic usage of the phone. I don't know why, but I hate the status bar and constantly on screen navbar, deleting systemui.apk gets rid of both in lollipop, while still preserving the use of the keyboard. This could be done on 4.4 using xposed framework, but as we all probably know. It's not functioning for lollipop yet, or at least three hasn't been a replacement.
My question is, is there a better way to achieve no status bar, no navbar, and fully functioning keyboard. Without getting rid of systemui and everything else it does?
So far everything I've noticed missing, that can't be fixed by tasker, pie pro, moto display, or tiny apps: no screen shots, no recent app draw, notifications don't make sound, and reddit is fun won't open for whatever reason.

Smart Launcher 2 gives the ability to hide the status bar. Does that suffice?
I was looking for a more system wide removal. Would I be able to use apktool, or would I need to use apktool to get rid of it?

I just started using Smart Launcher 2, I've become a huge fan of it. Using it on both my N5 and Moto X. Been using Nova for ages, so the change is nice, and I love how simple it is.

I know on KitKat you can edit the build.prop to get rid of the navbar but I'm not sure if you can still on Lollipop. I'm not a fan of Lollipop so both my Android phones are staying on KitKat. On KitKat, you can either edit or add the line " qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to get rid of the navbar ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 would add it for phones with hardware buttons) but again I'm not sure if that works on Lollipop. Also, this is just for the navbar and has no effect on the status bar. If you are going to try it, make sure to do a nandroid and also make a backup of your unedited build.prop. Proceed with caution, I'm not responsible if anything bad happens.
