Is it possible to have different states of the status bar, eg. lockscreen - 100% transparent, homescreen - 50% transparent, in app - black.
Thanks for any help.

Are you thinking of the i#&@%* status bar?
Android you can only do it one way for all 3 "states".
No I was thinking of how the MIUI Rom has different status bars in different areas. The lockscreen doesn't have the time either, but after you unlock it the time shows back up.

Yup saw that also, thanks.
That status bar looks awesome. Would it lag though?

Thanks for the reply. I tried it and I still believe its using less ram than JB. I will leave it for a while to monitor its effects on overall performance.
the new release by mardon has status bar transparency. u can try that ...:good:

It would have to be implemented by the person making the rom, the galaxy S3 has it and so does Venom Rom on the HTC, so I do believe it's possible, unfortunately I am in no place to say how.
I would very much like this myself, it's a great thing to have.
Think it's called a persistent notification bar only hidden.
You aren't doing anything wrong by the way.
Try this app no need for root https://play.google.com/store/apps/...&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=smart+status+bar

That's my thread...I'm still working on getting it to work on 4.4. I'm sending it to a couple of people today. PM me if you want to test it. It works fine on 4.3, so with some minor changes, it should work.
And you need to be rooted for this BTW. (obviously if you want to change the status bar).
Has anyone else noticed the kit Kat status bar on some apps? I.e. Snapchat textra. Is that because of Samsung or because of the app developer?

If you mean that the status bar stays black, this is because the developers have not updated their apps to Material Design, which assigns a primary colour to the toolbar, and a darker primary colour to the status bar.
No I mean like this. It fades instead of being two different shades. It looked correct on my nexus.

What do you mean? What have they done? It just looks like the devs have used a transparent status bar instead of a coloured one, which is supported in KitKat and above.

As far as I can tell, they did not do that at all. Samsung would have to make that change to EVERY app you install on your phone; they cannot control each app individually. So the fact that some apps have the transparent status bar (KitKat) and some have the solid colour status bar (Lollipop) means that the respective developer of that application is responsible for the colour of the status bar in their own app. I know this because I myself have developed a few applications on Android.

No they wouldn't, they just have to modify the systemui(which handles the transparency) and change effect.
Well I hope they fix it in the next update whoever it is.

This is what it looks like on my moto X (running 5.0.2). Is that what you're saying the 'lollipop' style is?
