Could anyone tell me how to eliminate the Battery symbol and time in the notification bar? I have the bar hidden right now, but I use a different app to monitor the battery, so I don't want two indicators up there, and the time is useless since I have an app on the screen showing the time.
Thanks for the help in advance.

you will have to do this with a custom home screen (aka launcher.)
not sure which, launcher pro or ADW but one of those can modify those settings to a certain extent. I dont have exact details but someone can provide them. also that might require root... are you running root? how about any custom roms? I am pretty sure cyanogenmod comes with ADW, and that in CM adw you can modify those. good luck --josh
I'm running sky raider 2.5.0 and it has launcher pro in it. There is no options for that. Oh well. I'll figure it out eventually.

Go to the Themes and Apps forum. There is a thread in there with zip files for removing the clock, location reticle, and/or battery icon.

I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.
1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency
in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?
2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.
3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?
4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.
Sorry for the list.

Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.
But from what I read on launcher pro's forums, LP doesn't extend the wallpaper through the area where the notification bar is. Is your bar black when you set to completely transparent?

I couldn't even find a setting for transparency of the notification bar.
If you are running launcher Pro... menu to prefs to appearance settings to dock background

that changes the dock and not the notification bar
I've been trying to find out if there is a way to separate the battery icon from the 3G/WiFi symbols in the notification bar?
I'm not a developer of any sorts, but I hope to pass this info, if at all possible, to someone that might be able to. Unless if course there is someone here that can create a flashable mod for this?
Either way, I appreciate the read and any replies.
Thank you,

P.S.
I know of the extended settings mod that Andy Thomson has created and it is really close to what I am looking for but if this could be done, it would be the icing on the cake.

Are you on MIUI?
I didn't quite understand what you were trying to do until you mentioned extended settings, and I still kind of don't.
But if you're trying to put the battery icon on one side & the signal bars on the other, you could hide the battery with extended settings and use an app that shows a battery icon in the status bar. That battery icon would be on the side with the notifications since it's an external app.
If you could make a mockup or take a screenshot & show where you want the icons, I might be able to help you out. All of the modifications I've been able to figure out have been from MIUI, so I don't know how well it would translate to other roms. I'm sure that *if* I could do what you're trying to do on MIUI, someone could make it possible for another rom. It's just easier to do such modifications on MIUI.

I am running 4.2.2 stock and rooted on galaxy s4 T Mobile. The only things I did to customize my phone is using busybox and Xposed with Xblast that allowed me to change the status bar color on the icons, battery, wifi, network indication, and clock. That's really the only customization I did to the phone using Xposed. I also have Widgetlocker app and just some nothing out of the ordinary apps on my phone. If you look at my screenshots you will see a black box with white words in it. That's normal of course but then you will see in another screenshot that there is a blackbox but with black words that you can't see. I don't know why this has happen the blackout words and it seems like it's only on certain apps that is why I am able to show different screenshots. Does anyone know what I am saying trying my best to explain this. I don't want to reset my phone I did it once already when this happened but now it came back. I also tried fixing permissions through busybox and that didn't help. If anyone has anything that can help I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,

The ROM you are using uses the same font/style source for both toast notifications and whatever else you were actually trying to change the formatting of.
You can easily fix it by disabling Xposed, or just the Xposed module that it causing the issue. But you probably can't both fix it and keep that Xposed module.
Don't know why this is happening

Hey thanks for the reply. I disable the Xblast module and it work so far. The black box is now replaced with a white box with black words again. But I don't remember ever having a problem using the Xblast on my S3 like I am using it on my S4 now. Also since I disable it is there another way to change my icon colors in the status bar and maybe be able to hide the battery and or clock up there as well? Do you know too how to change the T Mobile name in the notification pulldown to label it something else that is what I was using the Xblast mainly for changing the status bar and label.
I have attached 3 new photos showing the notification pulldown with the word Stormchaser and the one showing the original status bar, and one showing the customized status bar that I would like to have, is there other ways of doing this without using Xblast?
Try wanam xposed? You can do all that you want with it

Sorry for the inconvenience... just go to visual tweaks and toast notification then choose toast style as remove and uncheck the toast color and toast bg color and do a soft reboot...it will solve ur problem
Hello. I hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Xperia Z went bust after two years of faithful service and yesterday I took a risk and picked up the Huawei P8lite. The phone is absolutely gorgeous, but I am having some issues with Nova Launcher.
First off, the soft keys and notification bar aren't transparent. They are when I use the stock launcher (so the device is obviously capable of doing so), and they were on my Xperia Z using Nova Launcher. Non-transparent soft keys and notification bar makes the screen look smaller and cluttered, which utterly spoils the overall experience.
Is there a way around this? If I root the phone, can this be fixed? I have never rooted a device before so if this helps, where can I find the run-down on rooting?
Second, changing icons. When I try to change an icon on the homescreen (again, with Nova Launcher) only a handful of icons from the icon pack shows up on the list. There are clear gaps in the list where a bunch of icons should be.
Again, these were both non-issues on my Xperia Z.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix these things? For the icons I realize I can use an app like Icon Changer, but with Nova Launcher I shouldn't have to. And as for the soft key and notification bar I realize I can hide them entirely, but I don't want to do that. I just want them to be transparent.
I greatly appreciate any help. I'm on Android 5.0, and I can post screenshots if needed.
Okay, so the phone got an update the other day and that fixed the problem with the icons.
However, the soft keys (and less importantly, the notification bar) still aren't transparent. Does anyone know what to do about this?
You know you live in the first world when this drives you insane
try different themes if that helps !!

In Settings go to the navigation control and it should be to the left on the switch. Move it to the right. Not only did that make the Nav bar clear, but also allows me to hide it.
Hope it helps.
Just acquired a 2013 Nexus 7 I'm setting up for my brother, and one requirement he has is no time display anywhere... don't ask! :laugh:
I can grab a third-party lock screen app to eliminate the clock from the lock screen and not have a clock widget on the home screen, so that leaves the clock in the status bar...
I've updated it to 6.0.1, as I assumed that time/clock was one thing that could be shut off in the Status Bar settings in System UI Tuner.... but no joy.
Any suggestions? Or will this require rooting and installing a status bar app? Suggestions in that case?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I'll have a look at Gravity box today.
Okay... after digging into Gravity box, Xposed, etc... any way of achieving this without rooting?
Were it for me, I'd have less of an issue as I don't mind wiping and reloading everything on the tablet (I discovered fastboot this week for the first time, as this tablet had TWRP and wouldn't update or accept a new Google account when I got it ) but... I'd like a seamless experience for my brother.
And you'd think one would be able to remove the clock from the status bar without needing to install a recovery, SU, rooting, installing Xposed and an Xposed module!
Thanks in advance... again.

You can hide the status bar in most launchers ...makes for a cleaner look ....then just swipe down to use status bar ...

I'd installed Nova Launcher as Googling suggested previous versions had status bar clock tweaks in the "Lab" section of Nova's settings, but not for Marshmallow. Needless to say, I didn't see the option to hide the status bar earlier... but it should do the trick.
Now... to find the most streamlined lock screen app to remove the clock there...
Of course, I might just let my brother pick the one he likes best after I set everything else up for him...
