In RootBox, there's a special class - TransparencyManager within SystemUI that keeps track of transparency setting changes and updating transparency accordingly.
https://github.com/P...ncyManager.java

For status bar, it watches for Settings.System.STATUS_BAR_ALPHA_CONFIG and when it gets changed it calls the setBackgroundAlpha method of PanelBar class
which sets the alpha for the background
https://github.com/P...e/PanelBar.java

So basically, you need to take a look at your PanelBar class and call setAlpha on the background drawable e.g. like this

		Drawable bg = getBackground();
		if (bg == null)
			return;

		bg.setAlpha(0); // 0 means fully transparent, 255 is fully opaque

I looked in my PanelBar.class, and I don't have any lines like the ones you mentioned, probably because i'm basing it on a stock JB build, and not rootbox. I'm sure I can sort it out though, thanks for the help

For Link2SD I used this guide. http://www.modaco.co...d/#entry1808583
I'm using 1.5 GB (of 16) for apps. Works great with class 10 card.

How much can I overclock?. I always try to 1ghz but then the phone goes out forever. Is there an overclock kernel supports up to 1ghz

[skywalkerctu]

I really like this rom but now I can't even try it!!
I got error in recovery when tring to flash the rom.
--------------what shows after the root box sign----------------
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /sdcard/Download/RootBox-JB-skate-3.9.1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
-------------END--------------
Can somebody teach me how to fix this please?
thankful for any reply.

@Kori Natur
Well, it's not about the kernel but about your particular CPU manufacturing quality. Some CPUs can be stable at 1GHz (which is extremely high and not many CPUs will operate on that freq stabily). Some won't be stable beyond 940MHz at all.
I think the 940MHz is an average max stable speed of our MSM7227T. I do not recommend using anything beyond that.
You can find out the max stable speed by a simple test. Use Antutu Benchmark and start testing at 940MHz. Increase freq after each successfull test. If you reach the freq where the phone reboots during the test than your max stable freq is the last one that passed the test. Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't have problems with that freq while using the phone.

My tip is that your system partition is not big enough. You need 200MB.

Wow. I benchmarked mine at 960 the other day and got a score of 2000.. How did you manage that?

Install Link2SD from Play.
When starting first time select correct filesystem format (FAT32, EXT2/3/4,...)
I had no problems mounting my Ext3 partition with RootBox [Android 4.2.2].

Evening.
use auto backlight, dark backgrounds, don't overclock and use a sensible cpu governor.  turn off auto sync, turn Wi-Fi and data when not in use

Dark backgrounds do nothing.. the Skate has an LCD screen, not AMOLED.
