Hi people, I don´t need to say that I´ve a G Nexus hehe, for that reason I´m here, but the real reason today is that my G Nexus is something like "new" for me, I came from a Xperia device, and in those devices everything is "easy" to do, like root, flash etc etc
Like I said, my device is now a Galaxy Nexus (GSM Maguro), I'm running Android 4.2.1 and it works like a charm, not a simple one problem!, but I would like to do some changes in it,the problem is, I don´t know how!
I´m interesting in:
*Make the statusbar semi transparent or fully transparent (for avoid the screen burn problem)
*Make the navbar semi transparent too (same reason)
*Other things
*I´m not interesting in change the rom (at least for now) I just want to do some changes, for now the stock rom is almost enough for me
So, if somebody can give me a hand on this I will be really happy, my first language is spanish, so, I try to write in a correct way, and of course, I try to understand everything that I can
PD: My Nexus is not rooted, I don´t know how to do it, seems difficult xD
Thanks a lot!!!
You are likely going to have to at least root to accomplish this. There are themes, and apps that allow you to tinker with the statusbar and navbar. But you will they require root.
With a launcher that allows for it, you can hide the statusbar on your home screens.

Basically, I've been using AuraxTSense for a long time now, and once Neo started to implement the Transparent Theme, so I've been sticking with older versions just because I'm not happy with the Transparent Theme. I've now bit the bullet and updated to the latest version, but now there's something I want.
Android Stock has some nice icons, and I'm really not keen on the HTC Notification Bar Icons, I want the icons from stock (like Neo has done in the past, and continues to do) but I have no idea how to do it. I've opened up the framework-res.apk with winzip, browsed in there, found different images etc in there, but I don't know which ones to change.
I hope someone understands what I'm saying!

I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize for doing it again, but I couldn't really find anything helpful. I want to change the status bar icons without having to use LP, ADW, UOT kitchen, etc. to the icons that the Captivate (AT&T) and a few other Samsung devices have. I'm fairly certain this would be possible, but I'm not sure where to start, and every thread I've looked at isn't much help, so if anyone here could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!
If anyone wants to try this, It might be a great app for the users that have a hard time seeing the grey on black that the present notification bar is displayed on the stock jelly bean ROM. I have tried a bunch of apps that change the bar's colors and some are really vivid, but are not able to display active things that pop in the bar like weather beetle, screebl icon, etc. It should be possible even without root, because the apps that are already available, can work on non rooted phones. All I want to do is change the color. That ought to be a piece of cake for someone familiar with the inner workings of the jelly bean ROM! If root is required, then so be it! either way would really rock!
I hope someone will jump on this and make it an aroma with color options when flashing....Just change the color!
Thanke!
Like the idea, but to get better help with this you're better off putting it in themes and apps section.

Thanks! I didn't know where the post would be most effective. Maybe a mod could move it there, rather than me double posting.
Thanks!
Hope there is someone that can do it for us!
Aloha!
I let them no, hope someone helps you out.
The Themes and Apps section is really for releases, mods and apks (once you boil it down). This is more of a request type thing. Maybe I can put it in Q&A?
Thoughts?

Also you can check out the general Android Themes section too. IIRC in the old days, we used to use Metamorph and ZipThemer and you could use the correct xmls and they would replace your pre-existing files in the Framework-res.apk and make a redo.zip (only ZipThemer did this) that you could flash. But like I said that was in the old days before we ever had a systemUI.
I wasn't too sure but thought metamorph was his best bet. I've personally never used it... Q&A is good though, I think.
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.
Has anyone been able to customise the nav bar without root on oxygen os? I would like it to look like the pixels. I've read some thing that's say it's name isn't navbar and therefore doesn't work. I've also read substratum is the only way. But some say that doesnt work.
Can someone clarify please.
I am root and still cant change nav bar icons ,substratum themes don't work .
yeah so want this to happen
tried all kinds of things but no help
Navbar Apps app does make it look like Google, but it doesn't work when full screen
I also hate the fact that OP placed the capaticive buttons so close to one another

Same, I want it like stock android or like the pixel. I don't want to move to a custom rom just for the navbar.
