ROMs with status bar and navigation bar merged? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I had a cheap tablet with JB 4.1; The nice thing about it was the status bar and navigation bar were both merged at the bottom. Saving screen area.
Are there any ROMs out there that allow this to be set? I did a search but nothing...

Paranoid android definitely does

Try CM10.2 + TabletUI

I use Vanir for this. Paranoid Android, PACMAN, CleanROM, and CM 10.2 also have it via rom settings or a flashable zip.

I am taking a liking to slimbean but haven't been able to see if that allows it.

Not for DEB
I hope one of these Roms (hopefully PAC / Parananoid) coming very soon for the DEB (LTE) - Version.
Doesnt like the amount of Space spent for the 2 bars on a "big" screen.

You can get it on Stock (rooted) as well here

Or use just about any rom and make your own: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719408

Quick Settings / Quick Toggles

Hi all
Is there a quick toggle mod for the notification drop down menu like found on stock TouchWiz and Sense devices? Not looking for widgets on the "desktop"
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can try Widgetsoid in the Market. It will allow you to place themed toggles in the notification area without a widget. Just make sure you select "hide widgets".
That could work, however, I was looking more for a hard mod that could be flashed in there, like in past devices that I've used that didn't feature this by default (back in the Sense 2.1 days).
Like this? Its available on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383210

I haven't seen a separate mod. You can always ask the rom developer to make a flashable zip for you.

Yes, as long as the major toggles are all there (wifi, bt, gps, etc...) that is exactly it. Of course, on Touch Wiz, it's just one horizontal line of toggles (like the widget on the Nexus), and that is the cleanest. On sense 3.0, it's a vertical list of toggles.

I tried turning on the notification toggle in widgetsoid, it doesn't even show up for me.
Also, seeing how the music player can have different buttons in the same row, I don't see why it can't be possible for other apps to use this functionality too.
Edit: Widgetsoid works perfectly, almost exactly the same as the CM toggle bar (sans the side scrolling)
Someone should be able to make a new app for ics,
you can add buttons in the dropdown now so it should be possible with out a custom rom or even root
Is this what you are looking for?

"With this app, you can place different toggles into your Android status/notification bar for quick access without having a dozen toggle-widgets on your homescreens
You can choose which toggles to display in the settings of the app. You can also choose to combine different toggles into one "all in one" notification.
Unfortunately, on most devices you can only define one action per notification, so on these it will show a small dialog with the available toggles when clicking on the "all in one" notification. But some devices (seems like all devices with HTC Sense ROM) can distinguish where in the notification you clicked and on these you don't have to see the dialog.
The app is for free in the Android market, would be nice to get some feedback"

Transparent navigation bar

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....

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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

Getting a transparent nav bar or shortened nav bar on CM10 or other roms

I have a sprint G nex and would like to find a way to get a transparent or shortened nav bar on CM10. Or if there's any ROM or add on that allows transparent nav bars.

Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
I have CNA 3.7.0 its removed by the uploader now :-s due to some bugs i dont know if the transparent navbar is possible in the early versions u can check tho go to setting > interface > navigation bar > Navigation bar color open it and type in #80000000 then click set then click the color to apply hopefully it works i decided to use 80000000 cuz it fits perfectly with the 50 percent status bar

[Q] "Glassy" notification bar?

Is there a way to get the notification bar when it drops down to be glassy like the new thing that shows up in iOS 7 when u swipe up and it shows some quick settings and stuff? I think it would look better than the dark grey see thru color.
Lots of ROMs let u chose a custom background picture for that, find a picture like that and use it or create one, you can even maker it semi transparent if you like...

I have been through so many roms, I can't remember which one allows you to, try paranoid or a PAC ROM. You can also Cook up your own on the online uot kitchen or pull the file from your phone and edit it.

Signal widget

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good signal widget. It needs to be able to show LTE and wifi since I use pie and can't see my status bar

Yeah pa's pie kinda blows. I tried it after using liquid's pie, did not like it at all. That fullscreen with no notification bar is no good at all. I still use liquidsmooth and have no issues and much more customization options with pie.

I haven't tried LS in a while. Probably not since January-ish on a GS3. What makes its pie different? I use PA because it is the only custom ROM I've run that performs as well as stock--but as I said, it's been a long time since trying LS.

OP, this doesn't answer your question, but this is one possible solution. Have you tried 0% nav bar Pie? That replaces the navigation bar with minimal Pie, but it leaves the status bar. You can then use an alternate launcher (I've been using Nova exclusively for well over a year) to hide the status bar. With this set up, your home screen will look as if it is in full screen mode, but you can still swipe the notifications bar down and see the status bar.
In PA setting/hybrid properties/interface change nav bar to 0% and you will have pie with status bar.
That works for now. Thanks. I would still prefer a widget though

What's funny about your statement is that Pie controls are based on the full screen mode in the aosp browser.. Paranoid Android is who originally merged that code and did all of the programming giving us Pie control. The other guys just took merged their code...

Good call. I didn't think about that.
OP, when you have full screen Pie activated, you can swipe toward the bottom of the screen outside of the Pie semi-circle to activate the quick tiles. If you place signal toggle in the quick tiles, you can view it that way.
Edit: This is dependent on your Pie being activated on the right side. When I activate Pie from the right side, swiping up brings up notifications and swiping down or left brings up quick tiles.

That is funny. However I can easily use ls pie and like the way it sits on the screen as well as the customization features. Whether it was taken from pa or not has no bearing on the ui ls implemented on its ROM. But to each his own.
