I was looking for anything to make the status bar visible when I turn off the screen.
Like, I turn off the screen and I can still see the status bar.
Is there a way to do that? Does anybody know anything like that?
Thanks!

There is option of daydream in screen settings (in android since 4.2 or 4.3), where you can enable basic info to be shown when phone is charging or docked. I use it and it looks nice. However it is not possible while phone is not connected to anything.
hm..too bad....thanks

I tried some, but DashClock Widget seems the most optimal app for that.

I am sure some of you may already know this. But this is for those of you who haven't.
If you use a custom rom and find power widget not showing up properly, you don't actually have to reboot the phone to get it working. Just play a little with the display settings. What I did was turn off automatic brightness in settings>display and turn it back on. The power widget should now show up properly
Turn on wifi over status bar and it will show the icons on the power widget.
Thanks to share that information...

Wifi or bluetooth and it will show up just right... Strange behaviour isn't it?
Thanks for the helpful information !
Is there a way to force apps to look like this for the bottom and top bar with Xposed?

I don't think so. But there are apps which can force the status & navigation bar dissappear (like immersive mod) if you are interested.

I was hoping for a different answer
Tinted Status plugin and build.prop wont help? Is the translucency part of the app?

I don't know :|. . Basically it will force the bars to pull down and you can bring them back with swipe(it's more like full screen with instant access to the bars) . (you activate the feature from power menu)
I hope that I helped

Yes you can. There's an Xposed module called force kitkat traslucent bars os something like, however I have tested it and disabled. Yes apps look awesome, but the problem is that as the bars become traslucent, the app doesn't detect they are there, what makes it impossible to press some buttons and creates some inconsistency on the notification bar. In my opinion even though it looks much better than black bars, I wouldn't enable it because of functionality, but it's up to you, you should try and see if it is worth
1. Is there no way hide notification on lock screen for apps that's always in the notification bar (like Tasker or Call Recorder?)
2. I can't find anyway to turn of the screen by double tap the notification bar (like in COS or CM).

1. I'm using the payed version of call-recorder, and I can disable the notificationbar icon and notification.
2. Sadly this feature (or better gesture) is not availible in oos.

Call recorder is a widely used name for apps that record calls. I use the one from Skvalex, also payed version.
What I mean is that normally apps that shall stay active all the time needs to be in notification bar, but I rather don't see it when I only turn on the display with the lock screen.
In CM and COS I could deal with this with options like "never show for apps always in notification bar".

Hmm, I'm on 4.0 and havn't used call-recorder in the short time I was on 3.5.4, next time I'm restoring 3.5.4, I'll check and report back.
Stupid me! It was because I had no PIN set on the phone, I had no specific options for the lock screen.

Can't hide it in chrome.
Some games go full screen, some don't.
You can get apps that hide it, not tried any though
it seems to be app dependant.

Well that's a pain in the ass
Maybe I'm missing something but isn't that where the hole punch camera is? Without that wouldn't you have a hole in the app that obstructs the picture? I wish all apps did that.

It's down the game developer to choose what they do. As someone has said it would mean the hole punch is in the way. Wouldn't be great for all games
I've been finding the height of the status bar (as well as the black bar) pretty annoying.
I'm sure there will be a way to get around this (i.e. immersive mode) - might require root though

Google removed the wm overscan function in Android 11, so ADB command and immersive mode don't work without root.
The hight of the status bar is the only thing I don't like about this phone. Makes look cheap.
It's as thick as the notch on the iPhone!
My Note 10's status bar hight is 40% thinner than the Pixel 5. I think if Google had the front camera at the centre instead of the corner of the screen the status bar could be thinner.
Hopefully there will be a non root method soon.
So there's still no way to force all apps to display full screen?
There's a lot phones with the same camera hole, but going full screen as a charm! Its a bad idea to say, its up to game developers. A lot games have nothing in the camera place, but still have a cut black line in landscape mode. And only on the pixel. Im ready to root, but don't know how to get rid of that cut. How to force full screen in landscape?
I'll be waiting for a non root method...
Hello,
I know the pixel 5 has no notification led, but I read is supposed to have Always on display (ambient display?) to show notification when the screen is turned off.
Right know, I see no indicator at all for any kind of notification.
Do I need to activate it anywhere? I can't find anything about ambient display or always on display in the settings. Do I need external software like AOE or such?
Cheers
There is no such thing sadly. I use "allways on amoled" to turn the screen on if some notification comes in. Its free and easy to use

That sucks.
Can't believe this is still a thing in 2020.
btw I'll try to configure AOE and see what happens. :/
Er, the AOD shows notification icons for me... Do you have notifications on lock screen turned off, maybe?

No, "show notification on lock screen: show all the contents from notifications" (is translated, may be different)
What do you see exactly?
static/blinking icons on the black screen when the phone is turned off?
Is there a video showing this?

I see a large-ish digital clock, then on the next line the day/date, a weather icon and the current temperature, then on the next line (currently) three notification icons - Facebook, Gmail, and another random app. All centered on the black screen, all in white apart from the weather icon.

Same for me. I can see if there are notifications on the AOD
The Autor asked for a way to only turn the screen on if a notification comes in, not allways. And the Stock System doesnt has such an Option, you need to use a third Party App for this.

This is true, but actually my system AOD wasn't even working properly until I rebooted the phone.
After that, I saw the clock with wheater info on the lockscreen and yes, it has the notification icons too.
Then with the premium version of AOE I kind of achieved what I was asking for. So I disabled the clock and now when I got a notification, it blinks around the punch hole with different colours based on the app.

I just use the built in "Wake screen for notifications" setting. It turns the screen on when new notifications are received. Is that similar to what you're looking for?
Just make sure to have ambient display option "always show time and info" switched off.

Yes but it last only a few seconds. Then blackscreen (unless you show the clock/info panel).

I think you are looking for - under Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock screen = wake screen for notifications.

this doesnt help, because when a message arrives, the display only a few seconds is activated. Then it switches off automicaly again.
