Is there no way to full theme our phones (ie: black status bar, custom icons, etc...) without root and a custom rom? I really hate this white status bar.
only when we root
Hiya.
I wanted to ask whether there is an option in the Settings or an update of Nexus 7 that makes the notifications bar on top and the three buttons on the bottom of the screen transparent? Or the ability to "autohide" the buttons underneath similar to the G2 and the Xperia phones?
What good launcher can you guys recommend for the Nexus 7 so as when in landscape i can make full "use" of the 7-inch screen? (especially when watching movies of playing games?
Please advice. Thank you.
Auto hide of the Navigation bar and status bar is not a new thing in android, any decent player like BSPlayer has an auto hide option for this bars , also as far as gaming there is immersion mode in Kitkat that apps and games can use if the developers enables so .. and transparent nav bar and status bar are part of the Now launcher, and i think Nova and Apex should support it also.

I did not know the autohide feature for Android has been around for a while. I was only aware of the current 4.4.2 OS of my Xperia Z1 (and i believe the LG G2 as well) that enables autohide of the nav bars on the bottom and notifications on top but not that of the Nexus 7. All the videos i have seen on Youtube all shows the black bars still there.
As regards the launchers you mentioned will it be a matter of swiping it from above and at the bottom to access the buttons is that correct?
Some apps have built in immersive mode and then they can hide navigation bar with/without status bar. Or you can turn on immersive mode manually whenever you want with this app (no root required):

Just downloaded showbox and realised when watching a program that the status bar on the phone does not hide.
Does any one know how to?
Thanks
I've been Googling around for some time now, I'd like notification icons on the status bar.
I've found several status bar replacements which work great on my nexus 4, but on the fire phone they are below the status bar, not replacing it. Apps I've tried: Color Statusbar, Omega statusbar, and super statusbar.
Is there any way to make this work?
Otherwise, will an Xposed module do this if I can root?
I have been looking for something like this, too and I haven't had any luck.
Does anyone know if xposed tinted status bar modules(There are 2 I think), work on fire phone with fire os 4?
