Is there a mod to make the navigation bar transparent or translucent and not black throughout the system or within apps?
Or invert the color of the bar like the LG G3?

Oh yeah, Just like mine now. Take a look baby
What mod is that?
Edit: does anyone know if there's a mod for marshmallow?
Nobody?

Nova launcher lets you change it to transparent.

Only when the rom supports it, right? I tried it and it stayed black

But.. Does it also work when you're in for instance whatsapp? Could you post some screenshots in some apps? Because it's only transparent on the home screen on my Nexus 6

Unfortunately if the app doesn't allow it, I don't think it's possible
Here is the deal. When you use a launcher that allows transparency, it is only on the home screen. That is because the homescreen is designed to allow the window (of the application) to sit behind the status bar and navigation bar. Windows for other applications do not sit behind these bars. They stop when they meet them. If you actually had a transparent navigation bar and you were in facebook, you would not see the background of the app behind it. You would see dead space, which may be white, grey or black. Not the effect you're looking for.
Conversely, if the app windows DID sit behind these bars, some functionality would be lost. eg. buttons at the bottom of the app would sit behind the navbar. There are apps and mods that can achieve this, such as expanded desktop, but is it really worth losing functionality for this?

That looks pretty inconvenient. What happens when you hit the spacebar? Goes home?

To expand on that a little bit, the notion of having something transparent depends on there actually being something behind it to show through, which really doesn't make much sense.
In fact, the transparent "effect" (at least, on the notification bar at the top) is something done by the application itself, by defining the boundaries of the application to extend above the border of the application window, hence drawing something up outside of the application's area.
The nav bar can't be made transparent in the same manner, but the application developer has the option to set the color.

I was curious if a fullscreen home screen is possible? Which still included everything on the notification bar. So instead of white or black like alot of themes out there it would be more of the background still including the icons and such.

home++ is fantastic but i think he wants an invisible notification bar with all the icons still there, right?
In which case, people have been trying for ages but i'm pretty sure it can't be done.

Yeah thats what I'm asking. I have a BB Storm 9530 and I was able to make my themes like what Im asking.
People tried to do it before but as soon as you add some transparentcy to the status bar it just shows black in the background. If you 're determined enough, you can colormatch your status bar to the backgound that you use and make it work that way although it sounds like too much work to me.
Good luck.
The main problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn only to the bottom of the status bar.
The second problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn by the Launcher itself rather than being drawn UNDER the launcher.
Is this possible? I find it redundant to use beautiful widgets with a clock already on the screen...
Thanks.

I'm sure it would be by modding the framework file. You should maybe start there and see where that goes.
You can do it by modding the framework file, or take the easy way like I did and use launcherpro and have it set to hide the notification bar.

Thought of that, but then I cant see my notifications at the top which I use a lot.. id just like to remove the clock, and slide all the battery and signal info to the right to take up its space.
I found work-arounds for that problem too lol. I customized my dock with 'call', 'texts', and 'gmail' icons and set the preference to show the 'unread' or 'missed call' count on the icon. I think it just makes my home screen look cleaner. Plus I get the full screen view of Katy Perry's half naked body woot woot.
Or you can also just set the notification bar to be hidden, and set the home softkey to pull down the notification bar.
Is there a way to make our transparent status bar instead of the gradient and also I cannot stand the way the layout is four by four is there a layout for tmobile note for why 5 by 5 or 6 by 5 if so could someone point me in the right direction I have exposed downloaded onto my phone if there is an app that will allow me to change all of that will you please let me know the name of it thank you very much

I think it's about time for you to go to the google play store and download
and install a half a dozen of the top rated launchers to see which one you like
best, the top rated ones all have many options for transparency as well as a
lot of other options which we will never find in the stock Touchwiz launcher.
My personal favorite is "Next Launcher 3D" I have been using it for over two
years now and I cannot think of even one feature or option which it does not
have built-into it.
Good luck!
Nova Launcher will do both on unrooted phones.

Any way to hide the home bar? I don't understand Google's logic. They copied the iPhone's gestures, but in doing so they created a stupid mini bar that runs edge to edge taking up screen real estate for a mini white bar to sit in the center. Why can't it just run on top of apps like the iPhone and fade when not in use?
I'd rather hide the stupid search bar at the bottom. Or figure out how to do it

Use Immersive Mode Manager from Google Play. Doesn't need root and can be activated using ADB.

Just have it float always above everything. Simple. Why is that hard Google?!?

The frustrating part is that they kinda do it with some of their apps. Notice how it hovers over Android Messages, but in Chrome, it creates a small black bar. Wtf.

Download "Hide Navigation Bar" from the Play Store, give it the appropriate permissions via ADB and hide the bar. I did it on mine and everything works 100% perfect without the stupid wasted space at the bottom and the ugly navigation pill. Supported the dev with a purchase too to say thanks.

No, sorry. I should have read the thread closer.
Edit: there might be one way. I'll try on my spare phone. The pixel Launcher can be uninstalled. I'll try modding it, signing it, and see if it will install.
Do you have a standalone module or is it in your ADB module? I don't mind the bar but with gboard it takes up a ton of space. So removing it would be super helpful there.

Just installed the app and ran the adb command on my 4 XL and it's working as described - ugly nav bar/line removed, screen content now fills the whole screen to the bottom.
Thumbs up to the OP and dev :good:

As per Si73's post - Immersive Mode Manager from Google Play. Doesn't need root and can be activated using ADB.
I have several status bar icons (not notifcation icons) that I want always visible, but after a couple, they just turn into one dot and I cant see them unless I swipe down the notification bar. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I'm rooted on LineageOS with Magisk 22.1, but had the same problem on stock. Thanks

I've never seen that. Can you give a screenshot of just before it changes and after?
The dot appears when you have enough notification icons, that can't be all shown at the same time, kinda like a "there's more" indicator.
Sadly the space for notifications is limited to just a few. No way to fix that afaik.

This will install an app called "Rom Control". Swipe from left to open menu, go to "Miscellaneous" and there is an option called "Show more notification icons". I haven't tried it but this may be what you're looking for.
You guys, he said statusbar icons, not notification icons. To me that means the system icons on the right side.

Yes exactly, I tried that recommendation and it not only didn't work, but after a while it stopped showing my lte signal and moved battery percent to left of battery instead of where I had it on the right, like it randomly switched to demo mode.
I'm fine with the notification icons merging, but not my system icons.

Rom control is for stock, I believe.
I've never seen that many system icons. I might be able to help but I don't know I could even manage to get too many. How many icons before it goes to a dot? 6, 7?
Can you give me a screenshot?

Do you really need all of those system icons? If not, there's an app that you can use to remove some of them with.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
I use it to hide the headphones icon (I can see the wire coming out of my phone I'm looking at it right now and I can hear the music coming from it) and also the alarm clock icon that is there even on weekends when I don't have alarms set. I know I have 3 alarms set for weekdays. I've had them for years. I don't need you to remind me.

I have clock as military time, battery percentage shown, LTE bars and icon, and it only takes 2 more for it to merge. And of course I know I can hide system icons? I want them. That's the problem. Android doesn't but I do.

There's probably no way to do it.
Let the notifications fill until you get a dot there.
That blank space is where sensors are.
