Is there a way (or a touchwiz rom) to change the notification bar style. The Menu buttons are too big, and the brightness bar takes up a lot of space, both combined give me like 1/4 of space for my notification.
At least a way to make the menu buttons smaller or removing the brightness slider from my N-menu.

Time for a custom ROM. Easier than doing the mods yourself. S3Rx or Dandroid can do it.

So I'd like to submit a feature request for a mod of sorts, not really sure how to describe it...
Kinda like in windows you can make the task bar auto hide when not in focus, is it possible to make the navigation buttons auto-hide, fade to opaque, or have a bold outline with opaque background... to make better use of the screen when in things like browser/reading...

This feature is already implemented in AOKP, GummyNex and Axi0m (hold down power button, toggle nav bar on/off).

This is very close to what I want, but I wanna get something a bit more
is it possible to make the black background of the nav soft key transpartent or opaque so that I can read what is behind the buttons?
Or make it auto hide unless I touch near the bottom... is something like this doable?
for what its worth, Im using gummynex now and its very nice but the nav bar transparency makes the drawing of the icon go away, not make the nav bar background clear/transparent

could you tell where and what changes to make to stop my left soft key from being bigger. I finally got my nav bar at 25 and the damn clock clock and other stuff white but by using a new systemui file I have that problem again

Can you make a no glow animation mod. Just have it flash and turn off instead of fade.

Does the clock on the left of the status bar disappear when you have an incoming notification? I ask because the center clock mod I installed from another mod doesn't. The incoming notification shows right over the clock and you can see the clock in the background.

notifications show just just like in the screen shot, if you look at the screen shot you can see that the usb debuging notification is after ( to the right ) of the clock
and like normal when the text of a message come in the entire bar shows only the message like normal
updated OP with a stock softkey color clock on the navbar
sorry i m out of topic

Is it possible to use clock as navbars home button? So clock replaces home but still acts like a home button when it's pressed.

no and to be honest the simply adding the fastglow mod makes it feel a lot quicker. if you havent used it, check it out
Cool mod. Can we get the clock on the left side of the status bar without the hidden menu on the nav bar? Or can you tell me what images to take out of the zip to accomplish this? Thanks!!

lot more than taking or moving stuff from a zip il get around to a left hand version.
edit
the reason i say left handed one is cause i will need to move the menu over to the left, so i can put the clock on thr right
jezz i need to read more throe, i so missed your question
if u want to put the stock menu icon back into the apk (which u can do with a zip archive) then the menu will be back to normal(ish) it will always show tho...

It won't draw the clock inside of a button.key.view
Although I do like the idea, out of time for tonight, I'll dig deeper later

Anyway you can make a JB mod for a search icon. Im so use to pressing search icon to look for apps on my phone.
I'm using the mod for clock in bottom left navbar with right menu, whenever opening my camera/YouTube or any video related I get constant force closing on system ui ...already tried to fix permissions get the same thing

Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back
My biggest gripe with Touchwiz is the massive amount of space the shortcuts in the notification bar take up. I have always been on Sense and when i get a notification, i could use my thumb to pull the bar down a half inch or so and see the notification, but on touchwiz, that giant stupid green bar of shortcuts takes up over a 3rd of the screen and just as annoying, the CLEAR button scrolls with the notifications. Aside from a custom ROM, is there a way to ditch the shortcuts/screen brightness slider from the notification pull down?
I wish we had the option to remove things from the actual status bar like AM/PM and the 4G icon when I'm on wifi. It bothers me that they don't just give us simple toggles to add/remove what we want.
How I can get a transparent or semitransparent navbar? Would prefer semitransparent.
Only way I can imagine that working is making it yourself.

would the be so that you could look at the bottom of your background through the navbar?
I ask because that would be the result. an app window wouldn't appear under it, unless in immersive mode... which in full immersive mode - the navbar is transparent...
your typical app is constrained to the screen space between the statusbar and navbar.. they are in non-immersive mode... to better understand what I mean, look at the diagram here;
https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
also, when u do see apps where the statusbar or navbar look more integrated with the app, that's probably hinting to colourize them to match the app...
anyhoo, I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in, because I don't think a transparent navbar is going to do what u want it to (?).
I recommend nav bar apps, at least with it the nav bar can dynamically change colors based on the foreground app. This is the app to go-to if you're worried about screen burn.
