Brand new patcher:
The new patcher doesn't need to be placed at SystemRoot anymore what will be more handy for all of you I guess, it also doesn't need any specific tools, because I already attached required files, so all you have to install on your own is JDK, JRE, SDK and ApkTool (just in case). Video how to use it: click (old tutorial, but new one works the same way)
Download for Windows: click
Important
As you should already know not each launcher supports transparent statusbar, but if you will use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper you can get transparent statusbar using any launcher
, so I added wallpaper.png to the archive. I need to mention that there is two types of CM7 roms: based' and native'. My patcher works well with native' ones. I will write below how to patch based' roms:install latest apktool (1.4.1) click download framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your rom copy files to /WINDOWS run CMD and type: apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d -f SystemUI.apk
then go to /WINDOWS/SystemUI/ and follow step 6.2: click after that go to /res/layout/status_bar.xml look for: com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView and replace whole line with mine: <com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2" android

addingLeft="6.0px" android

addingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
now go to /WINDOWS/SystemUI//res/drawable-hdpi or mdpi, copy statusbar_background.png and raname that copy to statusbar_background2.png
then go back to CMD and type:
apktool b -f SystemUI SystemUInew.apk
once it's done: sign apk, rename to SystemUI.apk, install in internal memory (/system/app) to sign use drag2sign click (just drag and drop SystemUI.apk on bat file)
And it's don't working for me on CyanogenMod-7.2-Nightly alpha7.2 :-( Maybe I do something wrong? Please write, working it for Spica
