[Q] how to prevent burn in?

hi there, is there any tips for preventing the screen burn in for our SIII Mini? i see in the samsung shop some of the display is already got burn in on the status bar, is there any tips? right now im using Benzrom v4.1.

Dont always use full brightness, either half way or down full should be fine.

Try this

and i want to ask another question, is it better to have the full black status bar (the pixel turned off like on the benzrom v4.1) or the original one(grayish status bar) to prevent the burn in? or anyone can help me to have a transparent status bar or hide the status bar? any help will be very appreciated :good:

Most launchers such as apex let you hide your status bar in apex settings/home screen then scroll to the bottom.

So i assume youre saying that black status bar like in the benzrom is saver than the grayish one like in the sammy official rom?

sorry to post in this old thread again, but i've been using benzrom v6 with the black status bar, but NOW i really do notice my status bar burn in is getting worse, now im getting really annoyed and confused.. :crying: any advice ??? is the black status bar the culprit for my getting worse status bar,, because when im using the stock rom i dont notice any burn in but just scared and want to prevent the screen from burn in . but now after using this black status bar i do notice it has the one i fear , BURN IN :crying:

do you know "display tester" app? you can buy pro of that app to fix burn in.. fix burn in with noise... try all.. but THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK..

How to keep a black notification bar

Hi all,
Any mod out there that will keep my top notification bar black? Quite annoying when it's see through on home screen then black on my app drawer..

There used to be a mod somewhere in the themes section. You can also change launchers which will make it black.

Notification Bar transparency

I was wondering if there were some way to make the notification bar on a custom rom transparent but keep the time and everything on it color and visible without pulling the bar down?

[Q] Transparent Nav Bar

I have tried to search and can't find anything that works. GEL, Rooted, Xposed, Gravity Box...can't get status and navigation bar transparent. Any suggestions?

Well I don't think you'd want a transparent status bar, it would overlap your app. While I too think a transparent navigation bar would be nice I think kit kats immersion mode kind of fulfills this.

Sorry for the dumb question but how do you access that option?

You don't activate it, if an app supports it whenever necessary the status and Nav bar disappear.
Keep in mind this is for 4.4+

Transparent nav bar

Does anyone know how to setup the nav bar to be transparent on 4.4.2? Im using gravitybox and I cant find a setting for it. Ive done searches but the only answers I can find are for the JB version of gravitybox. Its already transparent on my homescreen with my wallpaper by default, but when I use Chrome or any other app it's just black. Thanks for any help.

Xposed module tinted status bar also has a setting to make the nav bar match. Maybe kind of what you are looking for

I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks for the tip.

Well I tried it out, I couldn't seem to get it to do what I wanted, because even though the nav bar was transparent, the screen seemed to be still scaled for the nav bar. The only way I can get the screen to scale to take the space of the nav bar is expanded desktop mode and use the pie controls, which I don't really like. It just seems like there would be a way. I don't really need a black background to my nav bar, I know where the buttons are in my head, just the outline of the buttons would be enough for me. If I was able to see what was underneath the buttons that would make my screen seem bigger and better for reading and browsing and such.

Found the perfect solution, there's a module for xposed called app settings. It allows you to force immersive mode for any app you select, along with lots of other useful settings. Immersive mode works even better than a transparent nav bar because you can select items that would be under the nav bar.
