Transparent Navigation bar? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I see people with transparent nav bars, but the ways I know how to do it aren't working. Gravity box removed transparency settings in KK, and I have the nova beta, but there seems to only be an option for transparent notification bar, not nav bar. So what am I missing here?

Works for me. Try reinstalling nova or clearing the data... Keep in mind that it'll only be transparent on the homescreen, not in apps.

Yeah, I know. It works on my Nexus 5 like it's supposed to.
I reinstalled it and it works until it randomly stops. One time I just changed the wallpaper, and it got disabled. t's annoying to have to reinstall and reset all my icons and folders manually just to have it stop an hour or so later.
If I save a backup and restore it, it restores the black nav bar too.

Try clearing cache and dalvik... or switch to ART to see if that solves anything. Other than that, I'd say a system restore is in order.

Custom (transparent) status bar running LeeDrOiD?

Running LeeDrOiD 6.2.0 and GO Launcher (other launchers have been tried), is there any way I can make the status bar transparent or even solid black as the gradient bar kind of ruins my theme at the moment.
All the theming/modding links here seem to say they mess about with systemUI.apk which could screw up the ROM.
Removed Sense when installing if that helps.

Would absolutely adore a fully transparent status bar.
Seems there's only 2 of us interested but can anyone help or put my mind at rest and say it can't be done?
You can try this, should only inject transparent statusbar into your SystemUI.
Dont know, if it works with another Launcher than Sense, so dont forget to make a Nandroid-Backup before flashing!!!
LG, Helmut
Thanks for the suggestion. This mod changes the status bar in apps and the lockscreen but not Go Launcher home screens.
Will keep searching...
O.K., then GoLauncher uses another statusbar-background.png than Sense (using the one in SystemUI)
Dont know how to change it in GoLauncher
LG, Helmut

let me see what i can do.....
no that hard to do
EDIT : upload me your go launcher.apk , because market is giving me french version only...
Just in case anyone is interested, at some point GO must have implemented custom status bar support and it can be found here;
Menu (from home screen) > Preferences > Advanced settings > Support transparent status bar
I'm now running ViperX but I'm sure this would work across the board as long as your ROM supports and gives the option to change status bar transparency.
:good:

[Q] What is this Notification Icon?

This icon has shown up recently in my notification bar and will not go away. I am struggling to find what app it is for. Any ideas?

Google Goggles didn't return any results. What have you installed recently?

Nothing new has been installed.
I was thinking since its showed up recently there was probable an app installed recently as well, since not.. did you maybe change any of the developer settings lately?
I'm guessing there is no additional info in the notif bar, right? cause if so, you can hold it down and select "app info" and then uncheck the "notifications tickbox". That works on any app that gives notifications you don't want, or if an app requires a persistent notification to function properly but you don't want to see the icon all the time.

You are correct. When I pull down the notification bar, there is no additional information for this icon (nor is the icon shown). I have not made any changes to my settings (that I am aware of) nor have I done anything in the developers settings...which is why this icon is throwing me for a loop.
Hmm. I cant think of anything else either, if something does come to me I will let you know. Hopefully someone else does know what that icon is for.
Mystery Solved....
Apparently my Notification Toggle App changed icons. I hate when that happens.

[Q] Change navigation bar icons in the Theme app?

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out how to change the icon of the navbar for a few days now, still have no clue. It would be nice to have the Stock Android look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I see some theme on the market which have the navbar icons changed, so I assume that it is possible to some options (which I don't know about) in the Theme app to do that without rooting my M9, right?
Thanks in advance
Create a Theme here under Maker Pro
That allows you to change all icons and navbar stuff. I think it does anyway.

Yeah I tried it a few days ago, it does let you change icons of a lots of popular apps, but I don't see any option for the navbar whatsoever

You have to use the pro -themer on the page.
Then nav icons and the clock widget have their own steps in the process.
Now... if someone can tell me how to hack the google icons inn instead of the choices htc give me... (they have one that is similar to stock but square is home and two circles indicate the task switcher. (and there is an ugly line on the back key))
i still can't find it

Question Any ROM/Magisk Module/App to expand apps past hole punch?

Thread title, really.
I've missed immersive mode on my 7 Pro ever since I got my 9 Pro, there wasn't any time I would ever turn it off on my 7 Pro and it's why I'm keeping it on Android 10. But Android 11 lacks immersive mode so I can't use it on my 9 Pro. I fear burn in so I've had my status bar permanently hidden (set to 0px) and I just bring it down with a gesture when I need to view notifications.
But even though the status bar is 0px, all my apps still know the holepunch is there and push the content below the holepunch / make a black bar above the holepunch. Is there any setup that you guys know of that ignores the holepunch? Bonus points of its on a per-app basis. I know Samsung phones can use Good Lock to accomplish this, and it's crazy that a phone that doesn't even need root can accomplish this but I can't seem to find a solution for my phone with an unlocked bootloader lol.
But yeah, I really just want a way to force apps to ignore the holepunch. Anything?
G-Visual mod!

That's what I'm using to force my status bar to 0px. Unfortunately the whole ignore holepunch thing doesn't seem to work on OOS11. Unless you found some way?
Did you enable this in Dev Settings? It appears when you are using G-Visual mod

Yeah, but even after enabling, it only affects the status bar and no other app. Even in your screenshot, I can see your settings app pushed considerably below where your status bar is. Seems like a true immersive mode is just impossible on Android 11
Oh sorry I misunderstood you, the G-Visual mod makes the app go full screen (with status bar) in portrait mode.

Question A13: Themed icon option is missing?

Hi everyone,
for some reason I have no themed icon option in the settings.
I can only change wallpaper and system color.
Anyone has a fix for this?
Thanks!

Exactly...see attachment.
You also don't have grid spacing. Just to be sure (I'm sure you have but good to check) you've scrolled the page down right?
The obvious covered, I'm stumped. If you go into card mode and click the app info bubble, it says 13 at the bottom?
Are you using a launcher? Many of them won't support the themed icons and the switch will disappear. There are a few ways around this though

I am using Nova Launcher. But I thought since the release of A13 stable it does not depend on the launcher anymore?
i got the same here.not a big deal for me,i use klwp.
thats only work with pixel launcher as standaard.
Pro tip: turn the themed icons on using the pixel launcher. Then switch to the launcher of your choice. The themed icon switch will disappear but the system will still theme them because it's still switched on. Even post reboot. Profit
