Transparent bar

Hi everyone.
recently i ntoice there were a andrio update to 4.2.1.
before the update, i have been using HD revolution ROM for my nexus.
But after the andriod update, i couldn't flash the transparent notification and navigation bar from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882381
So i decide to try out the PA 2.99 which came with the transparent bars. but when i use a different launcher, the transparent bars goes back to normal, i would have to use the original launcher to have the transparent bar. anyone have a solution to this?
all i want is the transparent bar on a different launcher
thanks in advance

no one know any solution to this ? :crying:

As raghavsharmaxda correctly said, status bar and notification bar are the same, but Notification drawer is different
If you are on stock, then the status bar is already transparent by default in TouchWiz launcher in recent 4.2.2 but only for the lockscreen and launcher.
Although if you are on a custom launcher like KitKat then the launcher might have an option to toggle transparent status bar on/off.
If you use modules to manually select the color of the statusbar to 100% transparent there's a good chance that it'll appear white or some other color on it's own depending on the app you are using.
You see apps don't have the color of the status bar defined, they assume your system will do it on it's own.
Advice : if you are using modules to make it transparent, then expect it to be transparent all the time. If you don't want that then simply use the default Touchwiz launcher or a launcher that supports and/or has an option for toggling transparent status bar.

Yes like I said in my last post, using xposed modules will make your status bar transparent for all apps too.
And sorry I don't use any kitkat launchers or intend to. You'll have to try around and experiment with different ones.
I can recommend you Next Launcher, it has option to toggle transparent status bar but it's not even close a kitkat launcher.

AFAIK transparent status bar option on all launchers will only work fine on Kitkat. On JB it will always appear solid (transparent or not) , no transparent gradient.

@iceyhotguy @naufalhadyan Thanks Guyz

Show Off Your HTC One M8 Desktop!

Haven't seen a thread for the HTC One M8 and would like to see what people have come up with. I hope that people would share their setups and how they did it, so others can get ideas and come up with something of their own.
If you post, please share how you did it, or whatever apps/Xposed modules you used. Also, if the Mods are not clear in the pictures, explain what mods are done.
This is all on the Stock 4.4.2 OS that is on the HTC One M8, it's just Rooted.
All of the Mods come from Xposed Modules:
EX-Themer[KK]
HTC One Tweaker
Overflow Mod
Sense 6 Lockscreen Mods
Sense 6 Toolbox
Smooth System Progress Bars
SoftkeysFadeMod
Tinted Status Bar
Unicon
XSense
*****Unicon is the only module that you download via the Google Play Store, and costs money*****
In the first screenshot, I have custom Icons via Unicon, the Icons themselves are from the icon pack Cryten. Also the Weather Widget is transparent. The Software Keys are smaller, taking up less real-estate than the stock.
In the second screenshot, the App Drawer background is transparent instead of black.
The third screenshot is of BlinkFeed, the Dock Icons disappear.
In the fourth screenshot, the Status Bar and Navigation Bar change color to whatever app it is in via Tinted Status Bar.
In the fifth screenshot, its the same as the previous one, just showing the change in color of the Status and Nav Bars.
In the final screenshot, the Nav Bar icons fade via SoftkeysFadeMod.
I like to customize things to a point where they look kind of stock, like it was made to be the way it looks. I don't like over the top mods. Show me what you guys come up with!
Going to start messing with the Notfication Background, lets see what I come up with.
Hope you guys enjoy!

The home screen thread is under the Themes and apps thread. There is also a bigger one under the international forums also.

Thanks for this. Must have missed it.
Mods, please close the thread.

It's like that on stock. What ever apps you have on the lower part of your home screen, those will be displayed on the lock screen.

[Q] How can I change the colour of the Navigation Bar in KitKat B512?

Hey guys,
I recently updated my P6 to Android 4.4/B512 and I'm not able to change the colour of the NavBar again. I want it to be black instead of the ugly grey.
Before on Android 4.2 I used Xposed Framework from here and Gravitybox, and it worked flawlessly.
Now on Android 4.4 it works as well but my "Recent Activities" button is missing as soon as I turn on the coloured NavBar option in Gravitybox (see attached picture).
I tried another Xposed modules as well, Rainbow Bars, it works but it also colours the NavBar in Homescreen, when it should be transparent on Android 4.4.
Does anyone have an idea how to change the colour of the Navigation Bar without breaking the transparency in homescreen and still keeping all buttons?
I thought about editing SystemUI.apk manually, but I have no idea how to do that.
Thanks for your help :good:

Hey,
I´m not sure but I think Xposed framework is still not fully compatible to 4.4 which may causes your problems. As far as I know is xposed 2.5.1 working fine but I have not tested it, maybe this will help

The official Xposed Framework is working fine if you disable resource hooks. But doing so will disable Gravitybox as well.
The modified Xposed that I linked above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51325072) works just fine, even without disabling resource hooks.
It's just that the damn button keeps missing.
edit: I tried changing the buttons several times, with Gravitybox, Android L Xposed module, and with the SoftkeyZ app, they work fine but it's always the Recent Activities Button that keeps missing.
In Gravitybox there is an option to swap the Back key with the Recent Activities key, but it's still the same button that's missing (see picture)

---bump---
I tried Xblast too but it has the same problem as Rainbow Bars...
In several custom ROMs like Cyanogen it's working fine, so it must be possible

so... I've just got the new lollipop update... now in need of help!

The new lollipop update has just been officially updated on my new lg g3. But I've noticed a few different things that I'm now unable to change. One being a very annoying one! The top status bar and the bottom nav bar....
I use Nova launcher and there's a setting on there that if your device allows it that the top status bar will be set to full transparent (not just translucent)... this now no longer works?! Instead I have a dark overlay as the status bar and the same applies to the Nav bar. If I use the I.original home launcher then it does at least become translucent again with a gradient effect.
Is there any way to have a FULL translucent status bar again on lollipop without rooting it? As I didn't really want to have to root this phone. But these small UI changes make all the difference to me! I just can't understand why something like that would be taken away :-\

Try the Google Now Launcher After you install it, you can switch it from Settings > Home.
And if you'd be interestedin Nokia ZLauncher, it's a cool new thing, it's simple and minimal. it uses Try to download from Google Store if it says you can't or not compatible with your devide, you can grab the apk file from THIS THREAD
I hope this works for you. let me know.

where are you from ?
