Hey Guys! Yesterday the camera update arrived in my Moto X (Brazilian Retail version). And a great feature is now gone.
The transparent area behind the android digital buttons is now fully black. This is annoying me. Did it happen with you too?
My System Version is now 139.12.35.ghost_row.Brasil.en.BR.
Thanks everyone!
I believe this is indeed a new change in the update. They got rid of the transparency for whatever reason.
I'm still transparent on Verizon.

i've noticed this too. i had a gsm dev edition on the camera ota and it had a fully black bar. i now have an at&t one also on the camera update and it has a transparent bar. weird.
edit: i'm wrong, it's black on AT&T version too on homescreen. the camera is still transparent, as was gsm dev edition after update.
Are u using non stock launcher?

I do. I'm using Apex Launcher to use some custom icons and have a better home screen alignment.
but I didn't had this issue when I first installed it. So if I go back to stock launcher I'll have my opacity back? If I do it and then install Apex Launcher again will the problem be solved? Well, let's check.

yeah apex here. can confirm on my wife's pre-ota version moto x the nav bar is transparent in apex launcher. on mine post-ota, black bar apex, transparent stock.
Same problem, on AT&T post-update. I couldn't remember if I had transparent in Nova before rooting and getting the Xposed modules, so after the update, I just assumed it was because I was using a third-party launcher and lost root. It is still transparent on stock launcher, but stock launcher sucks.
Black bar on NOVA. Even tried setting transparency with GravityBox and no dice. It gets semi-transparent but the color is all off and it gets weird graphical glitches when you hit a button.

Mine is black with Nova as well.
So do we know (a) why and/or (b) a fix?
I just updated (vzw) and noticed this change as well. I am in Nova, and didnt pay attention to stock, is it transparent in the stock launcher for sure?

Yeah, I tried a couple this afternoon, and only the stock launcher had the transparent nav bar. Does anyone have any clue what part of the system needs to be modified to get transparency to stick all the time?
Thought I'd add my name to the list of people who noticed this. It would be great to have this back, especially to keep the AMOLED screen healthy where the navigation bar is (so that it wears evenly with the rest of the screen).
Posted from the comfort of my Moto X.
Add me to this list. Post ota using apex, its black. However, I notice that if I reboot, it is transparent until I open an app or app drawer.
You guys getting the same thing?

Did anyone else get the Nova beta update? There's a new setting in "Look and Feel" for transparent nav bar but it's not working for me. I have it checked but my nav bar is still black. Anyone else experiencing this?

i noticed when i first installed nova launcher that i would not get the unread count on the icons on the lockscreen say when i got a text or something. but now for some reason i do get the notification badge (but it doesnt always stay updated, says 1 even though i already opened the message)
so basically my question is, is sense kinda still running in the background when im using nova launcher? is it technically not supposed to show the notification badge when im not using the sense launcher like when im using nova launcher instead.
can anyone with nova launcher confirm with me if they still get the notification badges on the lockscreen if you are using a sense rom?
thanks

My notification bar is hidden while in lockscreen but when i unlock my phone it takes a second to appear in homescreen. In addition i have set the notification bar to transparent and it takes an other second to turn transparent. Its so annoying, can i fix it somehow?
Im running Revolution HD 12.2 with Nova Launcher and Widget Locker
It's a "bug" of the stock rom, and it's also in the ARHD.
For example, i'm on Viper, and i can use the black statusbar, so i don't have this bug
so there is no way to fix it?

You can try to theme the statusbar to dark and see.
In ViperOne, with a black statusbar, there isn't the issue.
Can you link me a statusbar?
Just installed StatusBar+ didn't work out. Someone an idea how to fix this?
Mine dosnt do that. It might be because of 1 of your apps
I got Widgetlocker and Novalauncher Prime. Also tested Apex Launcher but didn't work either. No solutions?

It's the launcher causing the problem.... ARHD 12.2 with sense launcher does not have this issue
Any suggestion for other decent Launcher?

I have nova launcher and a kit kat theme but when I click recent apps, all the icons that show are for GB. I absolutely don't want GB icons even when they should be switched to the themed Kit Kat icons. The problem I think was I did a restore on the phone and it was already rooted and BL unlocked.

First off, 4.0 is ICS, not GB. Do you have an XTheme active? What kind of restore did you do?

My fault... I'm used to seeing the themes the way they show up with the themes but now it's not. In the app drawer it takes to the icons but it's in the recent app's view and when I'm closing apps it shows the default icons not the theme icons.
And I'm on the stock rom just nova launcher rooted and bootloader unlocked.

Icon pack will only work within the launcher.

Nova icons will not change system wide, ie they won't change in recent apps menu. If you want to use an icon pack system wide, I suggest looking up Unicon on the Play Store. Also, Unicon requires the Xposed Framework to be installed. Look it up

I had an issue with xposed framework a little bit ago where it started fc all my apps on startup and I couldn't get past it. Kind of learry about re-installing it at this point.
There are any posibility to have 5 icons row with the stock launcher? (like Nexus 6P, same resolution and screen size phone)
Thanks!

If you have Xposed, you can use XGels to accomplish that.

You can try downloading Nova Launcher from the play store (or another launcher if you prefer, but Nova is often regarded as the best). It's not the stock launcher but it is very feature rich and runs like a charm. The only thing you'd be missing from the stock launcher is swiping left to Google Now, but there's a million and a half other ways to use a shortcut for Google Now. I personally don't miss it much.
Anyway, now that I've gone off on a tangent, yeah Nova Launcher let's you customize the grid layout of your home screen. I use 5 columns (like the 6P) and it really is great.
As the rest mentioned your only two possibilities are to root your phone and install xposed then use something like XGels or GravityBox or Install a custom launcher. Your best bet for custom launcher would have to be Nova Launcher as it's the closest to stock. You can even set up vertical scrolling. I'm rooted and my launcher of choice is Nova Launcher. Trust me Google Now is not as good as you might think.

Did you update the Google launcher? I seem to have it, not sure if its a feature of the ROM I am on or not which is why I am asking if you updated your Google launcher app.
yes, i have the last version, but no 5 icons in a row...
nice clock/weather widget, what is it?

I even changed roms, and I still have 5 icon rows...so I guess it could be the rom
Go Weather Ex, I am not a fan of them usually (due to their ads) but I couldn't pass it up...and its free.
I use Apex Launcher and can customize it many different ways.

What number are you on? I'm on 560 DPI
Not sure how many places i've answered this question, but anyway...
- Remove LauncherConfig, which is locking rows to 4 icons from /system/app
- Reboot
- Wipe data on Google App
- Go to home screen
- You now have 5 icons per row
No need to use another launcher or Xposed apps or DPI changes if you're rooted and want to use GNL with 5 icon rows, as it should be.
It's incredibly dumb how Motorola is setting Google's launcher up that way with a phone that has a large display.
This works on Marshmallow too.
Thanks. This worked with out an issue.
Omg have hey still not changed this by default yet ?
Is there a way to do this without root?

You rock. This info should be in the FAQs at the top.
CAVEAT to the rest: This will reset all your screens to the default. Now's your chance to clean up all those friggin icons all over the place.

I checked on system/app but I don't see launcherconfig. Is it inside of a folder? I'm using root explorer
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you're rooted, why not just use this command in terminal?
pm disable com.motorola.launcherconfig
I haven't used it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. Also avoids any modification to system partition.
Hi all,
Is it possible to get some of the other features of moto devices running 7.1.1. For example on the new second generation line up of the moto Zs, the moto e4 and the moto g5 plus have this unique icon pack. The icons are different for the settings, dialer, camera and moto app. Some of the apps automatically have rounded icons and the navbar has an animation when you click on the home button(it's not filed in tho). Is it possible to port the icon pack and pixel home button animation to the moto g5 plus as a zip which you can flash through twrp. Thanks!
For those of you who are confused about what I'm talking about here's the difference. The right one is the moto z2. It has a custom dialer, camera and moto app logo. It also has stock pixel like circular icons. The moto g5 plus on the left has boring old stock Android icons. Also the moto z2's home button has a small black ring around it which gives you the pixel animation when you click on the home button.
Edit: Apparently I must've mistaken the z2's launcher with some other launcher and reported accordingly that some of the icons have changed. I just reinstalled the launcher and nothing has changed except the blur in the app drawer background
Can you send me the link for that launcher.

Interesting. It doesn't change any icons for me
the icon become change after that app will be updated,camera,fm,file manager app icon are changed in stock launcher
---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------
camera app icon now changed bcoz camera app got an update
My bad I didn't notice. I was using a custom icon pack. The FM radio, camera and file manager app did get an update to the new icons. Is there a way to update the dialer icon and get the pixel nav bar.
I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with Android 7.1.

+1 for Pixel nav-bar
u can download pixelnav bar and i think dailer icon will change after we get oreo?
True?. The moto g5 plus has really agressive ram management so the pixel nav bar only works half of the time.
