Transparent navigation bar - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone know if this is possible to do. I think it would give our nexus a better full screen effect.

Anything is possible but it supposedly killed performance on old versions
But I would also like to see this in the future
And also there are multiple threads explaining this bump

Yes it is possible... But you're going to have to do some decompiling and compiling and change the status bar back ground .PNG file and recompile the .apk....

+1 woulb be kinda cool maybe in the future it will be standard for most roms or atleast a option

well, you can't get transparent navigation bar in JB by changing the background only, but you have to do your changes in smali too

A black to transparent fade in both status and navbar would be sweet as hell.
Please make this happen <3

Just like in Atrix HD
Bump! lookin' forward to this mod

What does the atrix launch with? ICS or jb?

Bump! i'd love it!

ICS for sure. When JB was released, it was only available for the Galaxy nexus, nexus S and motorola XOOM, and the Atrix was out before that

What's with all the talk about status bars? The guy asked about the navigation bar (where the soft keys are)
Haven't seen anything about it. But I agree that it would be pretty sweet and I would be down.

I've read on another thread that someone managed to make the navbar transparent. Only problem was the glow from touch stayed after using the buttons...
Haven't read that thread in a while, think it died.

I have been thinking about this too since the day I got my Gnex..
I use a black background usually, but I think it'd be very very cool to get the navbar to be transparent. Even if the button glow had to be removed (when I run AOKP, I turn the button glow off anyway - I think it looks retarded how it gets cut off on the top and bottom on shorter nav bars).
Would definitely be interested in seeing something done here.

Couldnt we just get a cm build from them and copy the framework required?

I'd love a transparent volume indicator. I know its available but I want to have it on the stock Google ROM.

I would love that too
Awesome would be 80 or 100% transparebt Statusbar i think kind of easier. But i don't know either.. but i may be wrong

Transparent status / nav bar - LTE / 4.03

I'd really love a transparent status bar and navigation bar. It looks like this has been done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388554&page=12
Unfortunately this does not work on 4.03 and in addition there are differences between LTE and CDMA so the mod would need to be LTE specific in my case.
Does anybody know of such a mod that exists? I've searched high and low. Thanks!

Thanks for the statement, now you mind sharing the info....gotta screen shot, where's the mod? I assume you're running the GSM version?
me wantz this too.... !!!!
Works for me on 4.0.3 - you need to put in some work yourself if you dont want the percentage battery, tho. ROM needs to be deodexed afaik.
Frysee, Is that a flashable CWM file? and does it work with LTE/Toro Nexus? Thanks in advance... Realy looking forward for this mod.
Will this work on revolution HD 4.0.2? Also can toy flash it through cmw?
Would love to know if this works on the CDMA nexus as well, specifically running Axiom 2.4, with battery percentage and search button in nav bar enabled
Is there something with only the clear Navigation bar? I dont want to mod the status bar
does this work on gummy rom?

I'm on milestone 2 and it has softkey mod also. Idle on rootzwiki did for me. He is awesome. He has others posted too with softkey mods built in you should go look. He may be able to custom make one for you like he did me. Here's a pic.

softkey mod is easy as long as you have the PNGs.
hmmm. maybe the notification bar and navigation bars are also just a couple of PNGs?
can anyone point me in the right direction? I think I can do this myself if I know which files to replace

Idle has then built into one mod. So get the transparency plus choice of different softkeys. You can ask him how he did it.

I tried to do the mod with apk multitool and decompiling the systemui.apk myself last night but I kept losing the nav bar and not bar, then I tried to do Idle's mod and I still kept losing them despite it being built for AOKP m2, so if you figure out if its just a png replacement let us know!
I been at this all night; couldnt get it going at all...just kept losing everything. And here I thought I just didnt know what i was doing. Let me know if anyone figures it out.
Thanks

Is there any way I can have the drop down be solid black instead of transparent. Also is there a black phone apk anywhere because that is the only app that I want to be blacked out?

You can have a black pulldown if you use liquid. You can find the other by Googling

Disable Tablet UI?

Anyone know how to disable Tablet UI while running ICS?
Sent from my A100
If your rooted you can change the screen density to 180 or more ...the only thing is you'll have to run nova launcher or other launcher cause the stock will fc
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA
If by UI you are talking about the system bar. If you rooted you can use gesture control from the play store to make it hide. It works well, but some times reset the wallpaper but the dev has a simple fix in the description.

Thanks for your input guys. I will change density and report back
Sent from my A100
unfortunately changing the density does not force cm9 into non-tablet mode. icons did seem to get a bit smaller but the phone-style navbar never showed up. I see there are a lot of threads on how to force a phone to use the tablet UI but nothing about getting a tablet to use the phone UI.
A toggle in the settings to enable/disable tablet UI would be awesome
I did it on my a100 running flex .....when I did it I set it to 180 or 200 .....the stock launcher fc I then launched nova and bam the phone status bar appeared ....not sure why it wouldn't be the same in cm9

Rom toolbox offers density control and I know there's another in the market but I've never used it. Like density control or modder or something like that.

So, it works on cm9, but how do I get the on screen button for the phone UI????

I never did get this working :'(
Flex Rom: after I changed the density and restarted it gets tuck in a bootloop
CM9: density change works but the bottom Nav buttons don't show up
I'm gonna ask some one I know who devs for the Xoom and see what he has to say.
In the meantime if anyone has any concrete answers or recommendations please post.
Someone that is willing to try, can try to get us on screen buttons for the cm9 with this....

OK...I may be missing the point not here but let's see.
You want the phone status bar and pull down, right? But I assume keeping the nav bar at the bottom for back home recent and menu?
If so then yes the framework will need to be modded for it. Are you trying this for cm9 or stock or what, it'll be rom specific. I can see about doing it on cm9 but stock will have to wait until I reflash flex reaper.

lol well while I appreciate that, I just build from source, the team is doing the hard work.
I'll see about getting it going on CM9, if I can get it figured out on there, it'll be pretty straight forward for stock based ROMs. Since flex reaper has so many mods, it may or may not interfere with those mods, meaning if you apply a mod, then apply the status bar mod, it may overwrite the FR mod. Make sense?
I managed to get a touch CWM working, so I have some spare time to throw at this too.

If you mean CWM Touch, [email protected] also got one going, posted in the thread about that, I got mine going a few hours ago and PMed him the link, but my xda is all scrambled so I never made a post for it.
If you mean this status bar thing, sure no problem I'll put it up when/if I figure it out.

Pulldown animation for 4.0.4?

Could you be more specific? I can only think of the notification bar pull down animation and it's been the same since Android 1.0 lol.

There are mods that will play an animation in the notification windows/shade once you pull the bar down. It's sort of like a bootanimation behind your notification window, instead of just the static black semi-transparent window.

Here you go buddy. I removed the SystemUI from the theme, because its the only one that included a resources.arsc which could cause a boot loop.
Everything else is just images.
Flash in recovery.

There are a lot of white and black images in the systemui. But your battery will change and everything else.
I could just replace the images. And remove the battery icons.

Well I dont know what has been done to the .xml's in the resources or the layout. I suppose I could compare them but that's super tedious.
I can move the XML and and resources and it would flash just fine.
If you want, use anything from here. Its all from my S2 ROM. I have Djdarkknight's status bar icons and several inverted apps although he may not have included them.
R.I.P to my Epic Touch ROM

Edit...he missed half of the features it had..Hotspot hack (3g&4g) all inverted apps, odexed and deodexed versions, great had Wallpaper pack, flashable Metamorph battery icons, ripple and AOSP lock options, etc. I just don't know this phone (or AT&T) well enough to port it yet

Believe me, if I had the time and knew my Note 2 a little better I would be on the project already. What the heck did you flash? The Sprint Note 2 version from my teammate Sleshepic? Did dialer and contacts work? OK, it had to be the Sprint version because if my Epic Touch worked then that would be impressive. I already have djdarkknight's permission to use icons and themed apps from Dark Jelly
OK I lied. I have Venum Ice and Jedi 6.1.2 sitting next to each other on my laptop. I was going to offer some cash for a pro to do it because a pro could knock that out in a day it would take me some time ...I think. Those background lines would have to be solid black and I! Would switch up the status bar icons

All that zip does is replace images. If your settings is FCing you have another issue at hand.
I can add it back the battery that is, but all the resourses I do not know what was done to them. So the layout will be messed up
