[Q] Possibly changing the Statusbar look on AOKP 4.2.2

Hello all,
I have been wondering whether what I am about to ask is even possible, but I really do hope that there is some kind of magic trick that will allow me to achieve it. I understand that it might sound foolish, but please hear me out, and any kind of help will be much appreciated.
So ever since I moved to the GSIII, I was immediately on AOKP 4.2.1, and obviously with JB 4.2.1 comes the whole newly redesigned statusbar, like the one below. Now I'm on 4.2.2, which is of course not much different than 4.2.1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I am a little unhappy with this statusbar, especially with the seperate tab for the toggles. I am probably much too used to the old design, but I feel it was simpler and faster. I know you can access the toggle section with a 2 finger down swipe, but the problem is, I hide my statusbar so I can't perform that method. Another pet peeve I have is the lack of the weather notification on the statusbar, like that in AOKP 4.1.2, shown below.
Please, is there any possible way for me to have the old style 4.1.2 AOKP statusbar, without having to revert to 4.1.2? Again, this may be a very stupid question, since I know it is an app or a modification but a part of the system itself, but anything that I can will be great. Please help. Thank you!

I'm not a dev but I think you're hooped my friend. I was originally like you and hatred it but now I have come to... Peace with it. I swipe down for notifications and up (nova launcher gesture) for toggles menu. The weather thing is an app or maybe a future addition to your favorite rom. I'm not sure if I'd switch it now if I had the choice. Hmmm

You can set a swipe shortcut so that when you swipe on the right or left side of the status bar it brings down the toggles, and when you swipe down anywhere else you get notifications.
Not sure if that helps OP, but that may help IAN1331 from using a swipe up feature of NOVA

I use Nova Launcher Prime, and I have a gesture (swipe down from anywhere not just top) to open the notifications tray. There is an option to open notification OR the new options panel. That way when you swipe down, it opens the old style one.

I think the old notification bar was better. I am shocked by the lack of my beloved, simple, and fabulous old toggle. :crying:

[Q] Change navigation bar icons in the Theme app?

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out how to change the icon of the navbar for a few days now, still have no clue. It would be nice to have the Stock Android look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I see some theme on the market which have the navbar icons changed, so I assume that it is possible to some options (which I don't know about) in the Theme app to do that without rooting my M9, right?
Thanks in advance

Create a Theme here under Maker Pro
That allows you to change all icons and navbar stuff. I think it does anyway.

Yeah I tried it a few days ago, it does let you change icons of a lots of popular apps, but I don't see any option for the navbar whatsoever

You have to use the pro -themer on the page.
Then nav icons and the clock widget have their own steps in the process.
Now... if someone can tell me how to hack the google icons inn instead of the choices htc give me... (they have one that is similar to stock but square is home and two circles indicate the task switcher. (and there is an ugly line on the back key))

i still can't find it

Am I the only one? lol

Am I the only one with baby hands that has to move all the icons to a certain area on the home screen to be able to reach them lol. Just wonder how many others out there have the same kind of screen. My galaxy s5 was a stretch but using the G4 one handed for me FORGET IT haha

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Even though I use two hands, I still move my frequently used icons to minimize my reach for them .

I have a lot of problems typing on mine i always hit periods and spaces even with split keyboard

It takes a little adjustment period. Are new G4 owners? I am 5'6" and game from a G2. This has a slightly larger screen and took some gettig used to. I can still use it one handed with little effort.
The keyboard layout always screwed with me. The period and comma on the right side causes me to hit comma too often. I edited my keyboard so comma is on the left and the right only has period and enter. It shifts the space bar over because I am used to spacing with my right thumb.
Otherwise I use Action Launcher with no dock. I just throw my 6 commonly used icons at the bottom row. Then just a left-right swipe for the drawer. Its a vertical drawer thats alphabetical, so just scroll until your thumb can grab what you want. Pretty easy and solid setup.
I used to use Nova Prime on my phone and Action Launcher on my tabs. But since using AL on my phone I find it so much easier to use. I only have 2 desktop pages; #1 is my 6 icons, #2 has a full page twitter widget.

Homescreen
This is Action Launcher 2. For some reason I do not like Action Launcher 3.

I use my nose for hard to reach apps lol. I did this in front of people and they think i am kissing my phone
Ya like oh lg g4 i love you lol

Bahaha

Question How can i auto hide notification/Navigation bars on my Galaxy A22 (4G)?

Hello all!
So basically i want this:
1st - I want this notification bar with all its icons to Auto-Hide ALWAYS, and show up only when i swipe it down,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
2nd - I want this navigation bar at the bottom to also Auto-Hide ALWAYS also, and when i swipe UP to be shown,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
1st 2nd

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!

Question Change lockscreen clock!!!

So I am sure this has been asked many times, I just cant seem to find it, lol.
I hate the digital square clock thing on the lock screen and from what I can tell and read there is not an easy way to change this. Nice!!
I am rooted, any suggestions on how to change this to a normal digital or analog clock? I am not sure why would there not be an option for something as SIMPLE as this?
I hear this changed in Android 12, but in 13, its a new "feature"?

The only way to change it currently is to leg l leave some kind of notification as unminimized. I know in another thread in this section someone mentioned a particular app for creating a dummy notification you can leave displaying all the time. Having a notification that displays on the lockscreen makes the lockscreen small as in screenshot below.
Now if you don't let notifications display on your lockscreen, then there's nothing you can do about it for now (until / if someone finds a way).

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks, will look into that. Any idea WHY this would be restricted this way, lol?

I just use the built in screen saver and have it set to the digital clock. Down side is that the screen saver only works when the phone is charging/docked.

You can try AODNotify or
Tasker can help you change the size of Android 12's AOD clock
A new Tasker project allows you to choose between the small and large clock designs on Android 12's Always-On Display.

With A12 Google removed a lot of the customization options we once had, such as setting a specific icon layout in the status bar and choosing a font style. Samsung still retains these features.
In A12 the lock screen clock is new, while in A13 there is supposedly new options being developed that will allow you to change the display format. It may also arrive in A12L.
Your best bet is to install a 3rd party AOD app to customize your lock screen or wait for a custom ROM.
