Drop down notification bar - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there anyway to change what the drop down notification bar on a stock android (rooted) phone? It says us cellular at the bottom of mine. I was wondering if I could change that.. or even the back ground from just all black.

[Q] How Do i get coloured icons in notifcation bar....eg...Wifi,3g etc

Im just curious as to how to get the coloured icons in the notification area....only the standard ones like wifi signal, phone signal and data etc....as i have flashed many gingerbread roms and was hoping they would change but they still stay stock white/grey (except battery which changed to new gingerbread one
google search uot kitchen
thanks for reply.....but am i being stupid because i cant find where it will replace wifi icon and phone signal....just giving me options for battery , status bar colour and boot splash etc....is there not a more straight forward way of changing wifi signal icon to green like gingerbread...thanks
Check app and theme section. There are many different themes you can apply that will give you the look you need.
Just read carefully as most are ROM specific.

the second page after you change the battery, it asks you what kind of status bar icons you want ..... you get a choice of icons for a black status bar, or ones for a white status bar

Notification bar disappears on Jelly bean as notification center is dropped down??

Hey guys, I know I might be a little picky, but here is my question.
In Jelly bean, the notification bar disappears when you drop down the notification center which only displays the date/settings option and ofcourse the notifications you might have. Notification bar works just fine on the lock screen and mainscreen, however, my theme does not permit me to make it visible on the mainscreen. This was not a problem on ICS, as the notification bar showed up just fine even with the notification center dropped down.
Is there a solution to this? I would really like to see my notification bar with my drop down center at the same time.
not to be nit picky, but notification center is the iOS copy of the notification panel from android.
Anyways, yes, it does make your notificaiton bar disappear, which is annoying since you dont see your signal, battery level, etc. I havent see anyway around this yet.

Where did iOS randomly come from? lol.
But yes, now we are unable to see signal, battery % etc from the notification drop down.

How are you able to get the notification panel to work on the lockscreen?

Right now my phone is not locked, that's why. But that is not the point, regardless of that I can still see my notification bar (signal/battery etc), I just want that notification bar to be shown when you have your notification center dropped down (this was normal on ICS, but they removed it in JB)

Why does it need to be fixed? You can't live without battery or signal bars for few seconds?
well its a simple reason why they did this. with the notifications pulled down, you don't need to be looking at the top bar because all the notifications are in front of you anyway. and the date and time is also visible in the new notification shade as a bigger font.

What is the point of using Android then, if you cannot customize it to your own personal preference? I just want it to be more convenient. Especially since the only time I can see my notification bar is on the lock screen.....

Well it's not like its going to cause a huge problem if they left the bar as it was in ICS and every other android OS..... I don't particularly care about the date and time, I just want the wifi/3g signals to be clearly visible with other graphic notifications which don't show up in the notification panel drop down.
If u look closely the notification tray actually drops down and on top of the status bar and is partially transparent on the bottom half of the header.. so I think the answer is yes, in time maybe someone will do a fully transparent status bar header(hopefully getting rid of the second clock for my ocdness). Or something...

Yeah I just hope some one has a fix for this soon. I didn't see any reason for them to remove it in the first place.
I did not notice this until you pointed it out... How long do you stay with your notification bar down?

If you read the previous comments, you would see that I have a custom theme, requiring me to drop my notification bar down just to look at it... Or go to lock screen, which is extremely irritating whenever I want to see that useful info on my bar.
Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, and I understand that. If I knew how to fix this myself, I would but alas I am a noob who is still trying to learn the way of Android

There might be a setting, Expanded Desktop! Turn it off!!!
If you use two fingers to pull the status bar, you can see the remaining battery and the signal at least

Wanam won't hide persistant WiFi Icon

I have a rooted P600 model with Xposed and the Wanam module, and even with the option checked I can't get that persistant WiFi icon off my status bar. I've also tried making signal icons and remaining status bar icons transparent, but it's still showing up. Is there an extra step I need to take (besides reboot, which I've done for every change)?
Edit: I didn't see the slider at the top right of the screen when changing colors. After activating it, I can successfully make the icon transparent, but it leaves a gap between my battery icon and any other icon that pops up (like the muted icon, Bluetooth, etc)

What ROM are you using? I've experienced issues with a ROM having custom settings and Wanam settings conflicting. Try a stockish ROM (if you're on one) and maybe that will help. Other than that, I'm not sure

I'm on a completely stock ROM. I also just found out that you have to activate the sliding toggle on the top right corner of the color changing screen to apply any changes you make. Making it transparent is the only solution at this point, apparently. In addition, I double checked to see if I had any other modules that could be giving conflicting commands to the SB, but I don't see any problems.

How to make status bar black

Is there a xposed module that lets you change the status bar background to black. It's dark grey on my T800.
I tried wanam but the color changes don't affect the status bar (with the clock, Wi-Fi, battery etc)
If it's KitKat, just put ro.config.low_ram=true into buildprop. It makes your status bar black and you'll get better ram management too.

It's not included in stock KKs.. ro.config.low_ram was actually meant low end legacy devices but works on all KKs.
Hmm I'd prefer a method that does not tell android I have low memory.
I'm wondering this too? I would like to turn my status bar strip black, without jeopardizing anything else, so I'd rather not mess around with sketchy multipurpose buildprops. Thanks!
