Develop Bugs

[Q] Couple of MIUI questions

I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.
1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency
in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?
2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.
3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?
4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.
Sorry for the list.

Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.
But from what I read on launcher pro's forums, LP doesn't extend the wallpaper through the area where the notification bar is. Is your bar black when you set to completely transparent?

I couldn't even find a setting for transparency of the notification bar.

Blade themes and apps

This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!

Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.

Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,

There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

THEMES, Overlays and Such

In light of the fact there's no real root I figured I must DO something to this phone! I MUST make it different than Samsung intended. I was going thru withdrawal. Really. I got to messing around with different Samsung themes (black is Always Right and all of that developers dark themes are pretty dope..btw); but I found in the process many of the s8 unrooted mods usually work. Do some research but I've personally used better nav colors, remove lock text, remove lock carrier name, more precise animation scale, transparent qs, different nav buttons etc. And they are mostly apks, so no struggle. At all. Overlay apks also work too.
Not taking credit for any of this and props to the developer/s. I'm just sharing. Here's a link to one of the best list I've found.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/mods-small-collection-tweaks-t3657119
Even though it's a substratum thread the mods work without it. I tried substratum but it didn't play nice with my phone. Look for s8 threads in theme section by tigerhood and also clck. Most of their apks work on our phone.
Anyway maybe this is common knowledge but i couldn't find it anywhere else on the board so don't roast me if its nothing special. Lol

Thanks for this link, I have been looking and waiting for a long time for a way to hide the clock and battery icon in the status bar and this mod worked perfectly.

Lots of options for nav bar.
Here is a list of nav bar layers plus many more.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73042403&postcount=1442
With substratum you have lots of choices too.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
Most of these work. Check the links at the bottom too. I can't remember where I got my nav shown in the picture but I've had no issues with any. Only ones seems not to work are those that try to adjust the nav bar height. It doesn't break anything you just don't see any change in the size.
Other than that you have to reinstall all your overlays again if you change your theme.
Nav bar shown apk below. Works 100%
Again, I take no credit for these and props to the developer/s.

The closest I can get to all black UI is by using Mini Black Edition V2 from the Samsung theme store and Swift Black overlays. I still have white pull down notifications and white nav bar when the keyboard is shown.
Is there a way to black out the pull down notifications and nav bar while the keyboard is shown ?

There's an apk around on one of the links I posted or somewhere else, I can't remember, with an overlay that gives you a black notification panel. It looks really nice, but you can't see the text on notifications very well.
For the black nav bar use the following by Draco.
Edit: first post on this link is the best list I've found. I've tried many of them and they work just fine. Props to the developers and the member who pulled them all together in one place.

Looks good don't it? All courtesy of the links posted. Honestly with these mods, there's really no need for root. So until we get full root this is the set up.

Use any of the ones that are system ui black notification. It should say that or something like that when you install. Then install the custom grey/ black notification. Or use any of the grey notification only ones and then the custom grey/ black

This is what I'm using but the text is grey.

Navigation bar sometimes wrong colour on non-stock apps

Has anyone else got this on the 5t?
It happens on some non-stock apps and makes them look crap!

That's the way it was designed. You could always use a 3rd party app (Navbar Apps, for example) to make the navbar match the notification bar, but I think the off white bar they chose is a good one. Samsung and LG do the same thing.
I, for one, have never been a fan of the black navbar. It just makes it look like there is a lot of wasted space.

This is working as intended

Hi.
So I just bought my OP5T, and I can't believe how frustrating that is. The nav bar stays white on apps with a dark theme(Reddit is Fun for example) and there is no easy way to change it. I've tried the app recommended above(Navbar Apps) but it seems to be overriden by the system - if I select solid black for the navbar it switches to black for half a second and then goes back to white. Any other way to fix it, anyone?

Have you tried the dark theme on the 5T? Not sure if that makes a difference.

Yep, even with the dark theme the nav bar stays white, which makes me think this is actually unintended. Surely with the dark theme the bar should become black, but it's still white.

I know there is a setting in Navbar Apps where you can choose your own custom color and override the system. Have you given that a shot?

Yep - I've tried both override using the status bar colour and specific colour per app - neither one works. Well, it switches to black for very short time and then goes back to white. I'll try to make a video to submit to the author of the app.

So this is what happens with the Navbar Apps application - I just sent an email to the developer, hopefully he knows how to fix it!

Yeah, weird. Didn't do that on other phones. Personally I like the white navigation bar, but I can understand that we should have more options for it other than rearranging the icons.

Man that's kinda annoying. I personally like the black nav bar all the time

Yeah I can see that. I just think the black nav bar is more stealth whereas the white one is too obvious if that makes any sense.

Yep me too! I think the navbar default colours should match the theme colours. I couldn't get Navbar apps to work properly either.

It started bothering me the very first night I got the phone - I was in my bed, in darkness, had a dark-themed app opened....and the nav bar was blinding white in the darkness. Auto-hide on the bar helps, but then it's annoying to swipe up every time you want to use it.

Yeah, I mean it feels like a bug that the nav bar is not dark when using a dark theme.

I would suggest using the OnePlus official forums and their feedback system to make some suggestions to them.

Just use the "Hide navigation bar" in the Settings->Buttons menu. It does the trick for me at least, and I like it better

It can look better, but then you introduce another step in the process.

The Obligatory Screen Shot Thread

Show us how you're either highlighting or hiding your notch. I found this wallpaper that does a great job of blending the notch right in.

You cannot Screenshot the notch. There is hardware in the notch and no screen.

Notch is blacked out using Nacho Notch, allowing me to keep the notification text up there, but with a black background matching the notch and white text/images.

I don't mind the notch at all. It's the blocking of the status bar icons I can't tolerate.

Having come from the Essential phone I'm quite aware of that. I guess I should have worded it differently and asked if people are using wallpapers that are light or dark at the top.

Here is an in-app picture, showing it a little better. The black goes down just enough to cover the notch and still show notifications.

Simple. And I don't really even notice the notch already.

It's not a widget, but kustom live wallpaper with one of their free live wallpaper. Been using it for years and love it.

Yes, I like a lot of folders on my desktop. The background is an image I took with the phone.

These days I like to keep things nice and simple.
Nova Launcher Prime

Here's mine!

I don't mind the notch. It's not noticable after a little while.

Been using it for a couple of years now
Looks good, has good system info, and has the very useful hotspots to trigger apps.
Combine it with Nova and you've got so many gestures and shortcuts available to set up and get you to anything on your phone.

I'm hiding mine with Nacho notch, hopefully google will implement a baked in solution like Essential. Using Nova launcher and as many dark themed apps as possible on stock.
