I've been reading the M8 forums for a while since I got my HTC One (M8), and finally plucked up the courage to unlock the bootloader, root, get s-off, and perform the GPE conversion.
This went fine, and the phone works brilliantly, except I've noticed something regarding the navbar. If I set a live wallpaper, I get a nice shiny transparent navbar.:laugh: If I set a static image as the wallpaper, however, then it's a black navbar for me.
It's more of an annoyance than anything, but given the screenshots I've seen here on XDA, I know it should be possible to have a transparent navbar with a static wallpaper.
Any ideas, guys?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

hi friends i just purchased HOX 10 days back and noticed that when i set a live wallpaper it only shows up on the home screen and not in the menu's background. The menu is the standard black layout. whereas my friend has got an xperia s and the live wallpaper shows up in the menu's background. Is there anyway this can be changed since the menu looks very dull with the default black theme!!! p.s. phone is unrooted
You´re talking about the AppDrawer (which appears when u click on the centered icon in navigation bar on bottom of the homescreen)?
Then afaik it´s only possible with root and customROM, e.g. ViperX.
Maybe it would be possible without unlock/root with another Launcher from PlayStore, but i dont know which Launcher supports this.

thank you, yes thats what i was looking for, you have answered my question. you are right, if i use go launcher from app store with some customized themes the background changes. BTW do you have a you tube tutorial for your ROM. i am new to android since this is my 1st device and a complete noob
It´s not my ROM, i´m only one of the themers
Here´s a preview of the older ViperX v1.0.x, in v2.x there are much more possibilities:

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.
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.
Since HTC 10 has Sense8_GP, it has the stock SystemUI. I think a HTC-stock-ish UI could be achieved with some tinkering.
Can somebody make the icons have a line below them, and use the old icons?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=elsalvador.htcsense7cm12theme
And activate the 3x3 layout somehow, like on CM13, to look like the regular Sense?
(Btw, i've noticed that the HTC Desire 10 has the old icons on the status bar... That means it has the regular Sense. So maybe in the future, a ported System UI from that phone might be possible?)
The 2nd screenshot shows a VibeUI theme for CM13/12.x. Is the only photo i found with the 3x3 layout without installing CM13 just to take a screenshot.
I'd be very much up for this as well—I cannot stand the new QS.
When I was using the M8 (back around May or June this year), I flashed the "S Rom" which had ported a ton of features from the HTC 10...one of which was the HTC 10 QS (the same ones we have natively in our stock ROM for the HTC 10).
Not liking the QS then either, I inquired of the rom's dev if I could get the "old" quick settings back, and somehow I was able to. Unfortunately, I cannot remember if getting the old QS was the result of a specially modified S Rom for the M8, or if it was just a mod I flashed. If the latter, it wouldn't be too hard to tear that mod apart to see what code was changed (which I suspect is in the SystemUI.apk).
I'll look it into as soon as I have a moment.
Yeah. Comparing the files would be too hard and would take way too much time.
One other thing i dont really like (and you would probably think the same) is the volume control pop-up. Being at the top if pretty hard to reach with one hand, because the display is so big.
I liked the one from Sense 7, Android 5.1.1, because it was in the middle of the screen where was easy to reach.
I wonder if anybody could move it a bit lower.
Update: HTC Desire 10 Pro only has the Sense icons in the status bar. The QS is the same as on HTC 10.
It kinda looks like an A9.
I've seen a review on YT of a demo unit.
HTC One M9 just received Nougat and it has the regular UI.
And even Google Pixel has a HTC-ish SystemUI (gray background with blue elements)... Well it was made by HTC afterall.
I wonder if those can be ported...
Hi Guys/Gals,
Very long time since I posted here and it's good to be back.
I've done what feels like plenty of searching and can't find an answer, soooooo
Have we a way to change the colour of the status bar icons ? I have a dark wallpaper and the icons disappear in to it.
When I was last active we were using 3minit framework, and from the searching I've done they seemed to have ceased production.
If I've missed anything in my searching just give me a bridge and point me in the right direction.
Cheers
I use nova launcher, since my S3, it has the option to make status bar transparent or solid, and light or dark icons, I find it very useful for situations like you describe

3 minit framework still exist on rooted custom roms. You're out of luck unless you are rooted.
Cheers Pal,
I'll look into getting it done
