[Q] Customizing a third party text app - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Here is my little theming problem with my phone. I really like the texting app of Samsung or to be even more specific the notification icon on the status bar (see below) I would very much like to add this notification icon on my secondary phone which is not a Samsung phone.
Questions?
1) Is there a third party app that lets me change the notification icon to that - I know Handcent, Evolve SMS, and Textra let you change notification icons but none are really to my liking or let you import custom images.
or
2) Can the TW texting apk be ported to a standard android phone - probably not since it is most likely depending on TW but I figured I ask.
or
3) Is there a way to change the notification icon in standard android?

[REQ] Notification Widget

I was wondering if there was something like the app Executive Assistant that displays all notifications, like market "updates found" for example, and puts them in text on a widget. I looked everywhere and the closest I came was the aforementioned app.
Reason I ask is that I hide my status bar in my theme and while I have icon notification through adw there a lot of notifications I don't see till I pull down the notification bar. I could always just unhide the status bar, I'm aware of that but i figured why not just ask before resorting to that since you guys are more savvy when it comes to that
Thanks

[Q & Request] ICS styled Icons

Hey everyone,
I am currently setting up my Phone with Oxygen and an ICS theme. However, I'd like to have the Messaging Icon in blue instead of green (like the phone app icon). Problem is, I have no idea how to change/edit this. So if someone would be so kind to do this for me it would be amazing and highly appreciated
I have attached the Messages Icon and the Phone Icon. Thanks in advance!
On a sidenote: I am also looking for any ICS style themed app icons (especially Whatsapp and XDA) that fit nicely with the existing ICS icons. Haven't really found anything like it yet...For Facebook and YouTube i used the socialmedia icons ("Social store") from dembsky. I am simpyl looking for icons with kind of an ICS 3d icon feel...

Just used GIMP to change colour.

[Q] Substitute for notification bar ?

OK, for some reason I want to get rid of the notification bar, but don't want to loose any functionality, so I need a substitute for what it does. So far I found :
- toggles : widgetsoid. I'm sure there's a lot of widget that does this, but this one is nice and does what I want.
- battery level and Wi-Fi / 3G strength indicators : widgetsoid does propose that again, but I like the icons less. Maybe I'll buy the alternative icons (default ones are free), or find an alternative.
- notifications : that's where it does get tricky. Is there any widget that just displays notifications from the notification bar ? I know Nova Launcher Prime allows icons to displays a number of messages / missed calls / unread mails, etc, but I'm not sure it can cover every notification from the bar.
- anything else I'm missing from the notification bar ?
Thanks
Isn't there a feature on Nova launcher to hide the status bar ? I remember being able to do this on my SGS1 and all i had to do to get it back was swipe down the screen, Then when i swiped it back up it would disappear.
As for totally removing it, I dont know if its possible as you would have to dig deep into the framework and a lot of the system requires it.
On paranoid android you can remove the notification bar, or keep it at the bottom
My english is not very good, sorry I was not clear. My problem is not to hide the status / notification bar (nova allows this, no problem). The problem is find widgets or other workarounds to get the functionalities (toggles, notifications, clock, battery level indicator, etc) of the notification / status bar since I won't use it at all. To be more precise, I'll be using a TW based custom ROM at 213 DPI, so notification bar won't appear at all.

Thanks for the statusbar+, although it does not exactly what I want...I guess I'll stick with phone mode.

[Q] Is what I'm trying to do possible? CM and third party launchers

I'm currently on a CM10.2 rom, mainly because I came across a particular theme I really liked.
I would like to be able to have a semi-transparent notifications bar, as well as be able to individually customize my icons.
The rom I am using gives me the ability to have the semi-transparent bar, but not individually customize my icons. Apparently I need an icon pack?
Thus, in order to individually assign icons, I need a third party launcher, in this case Apex. However, using Apex negates my semi-transparent bar. In the past, I've noticed Apex has a setting called "use transparent bar" or something of that sort.
So, is there a way I can achieve these two things, semi-transparent bar and custom icons on CM10.2?

Notification Style

Hello,
is there an option to change the notification style?
I mean there are two styles for notifications, the first one is the normal "Bar" for example by Whatsapp where you can quick answer etc.
The second style is when you are in the Camera or something else and receive a notification, its look like a notification like on samsung devices.
Is it possible to always show the notifications as on Samsung devices?
