Anyway to make the navigation bar black? - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

The white doesn't look very good

Try navbar app from playstore

I'm also interested in this, if you find an answer. Sorry I don't have a solution.

There is the Xposed module “BlackNavigationBar for OnePlus 5T”. Works pretty great. Only sometimes the buttons are not white but grey depending on the app. However, I got used to the white navigation bar so I don’t use it anymore.

thank you

+1 for Navbar, makes what suppose to do

Finally I found the solution to make make this damn navbar always black with Xposed module “BlackNavigationBar for OnePlus 5T” which is working on my oneplus6.
Shame on you Oneplus ones again !!

[APP][5.0][Modded] Hide navbar (Ultimate Dynamic Navbar)

This is the Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.udn.lite) which is working on Lollipop, modded to have the original Lollipop soft-buttons...

Chech this app settings you will find lot of options to change color and icons. If you want to make it transparent when you choose color you will see a horizontal bar from which you have to drag the little handle towards blank area which makes your NAVIGATION BAR TRANSPARENT
I have the pro version and it's working fine with Lollipop, but it didn't have the lollipop icons, I've tried installing your modded lite version but it doesn't have the pro features. How did you manage that?
Edited png's inside apk file
Google or maybe it was Nvidia decided to exclude a nav bar for the Android TV console. Navigation is cumbersome at best with many different ways to navigate but none doing that well of a job since they decided that the launchers wouldnt support mouse clicks either. Where their heads are at when they release this stuff, I dont know but I found this and was hoping this would help, but it isnt working. Ill mention this in the forum over there too but if anyone is interested in getting it to work for TV, I can help with any info you might need from my rooted system.

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.

With substratum you have lots of choices too.

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.
Thank you for this post!

Which apk is that? The one that I came close to has a white background behind the notifications. Yours is black, Thanks

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.
The latest update for Swift Black included several stock TouchWiz apps which makes it even better

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 never did. Just makes the screen look smaller with a black navigation bar.

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.

Need help to change navigation bar to black on OOS Pie

I'm trying to make a substratum theme to overlay SystemUI, to make the navigation bar black, by override "op_nav_bar_background_light" from "ffebebeb" to "ff000001" in colors.xml. But sometimes the nav bar is still white. Also, I have tried overriding "android:navigationBarColor" in styles.xml but still no luck. Any thought ?
PS: I have done a lot of researches so please don't suggest nav bar app, i'm trying to make a solution instead of a work around.
You can use a Xposed module if you don't care about safetynet
Sent from my OnePlus 5T using XDA Labs
Xposed is not stable on Pie yet.
It might not be possible to do this, unfortunately. I don't have any credentials or knowledge to support this, BUT the only logical conclusion I can come to is this has been a complaint for a long time now, and if no one has come up with any solution by now, there probably isn't one

status bar icons colours

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
