Is there anyway to make the nav bar transparent? Instead of that black bar. Like it is on the home screen. But when you go to a app that Dam black bar.
If it can be done in Lollipop, no one's figured that out yet. Best alternative IMO would be something like pie controls
Yeah I know about pie or swipe. Just wondering about that it would be cool. Pretty sure someone will come up with something thanks.
The problem is apps don't go down to the bottom of the screen due to the Nav bar so if you made it transparent, you'd probably see your home screen wallpaper and that would look naff.

I use expanded desktop and so when I swipe at the bottom they come up transparent.
Never mind I see what your talking about.

Yeah when you use expanded, the app fills down the screen in the gap where the keys would have been. Maybe forcing expanded desktop mode would do more what is being talked about.

Hey all you talented developers,...
as our SAMOLED Displays suffer from degradation of the organic LED when constantly emmiting bright white or blue,
some of us found here the need of a hideable status bar.
I searched all the internet and all of this forum but couldn´t find such an app.
Is there any app or widget possible which can hide or un-hide the status bar?
Or is there any adb code that hide it and onther adb code that un-hides it??
Any help would be highly welcome.
Somehow ist should be possible.... at least we are on android
greetz the bapsack
Edit:
P.S.
1. as far as I know no launcher hides the statusbar permanently
2. even though some (!) apps might support fullscreen the status bar is still there in most apps
Both LauncherPro and Zeam have hideable status bars. See market.
the status bar is only hidden in the launcher
if you open any app e.g. internet or navigation the status bar is back in its place
Try dolphin browser, it has full screen I think

I wonder if adding the notitlebar attribute in the framework manifest would work
No clue though, will try when have time or someone else could
Degradation? I don't think so.
Anu source?
I think the display only suffers from a minor burn-in problem, where the burn in disappears after somewhile.
well take this pic of a blank white screen aas a proof
you can still see the status bar as a shadow

ADW.Launcher has a hidable status bar. You just flick your finger UP, the status bar hides. Flick it UP again, it returns.
PS : I can fit in 5 rows of icons easily.

And it also can hide the dockbar

the aim is to hide the freakin status bar permanently
e.g.: even when navigating, web-browsing or running any other app
This adw.Launcher can NOT do!
Just start any app and zack, back is the statusbar no matter what launcher u use ADW.Launcher, Lauchner.Pro or Zeam
I have status bar burn in, viewable on the screen test blue background.
5 months, low brightness, status bar hidden most of the time using launcher pro.
Pretty sad really

That's not even a Galaxy S hah, and no burn in here with launcher pro 99% of it's life. I'm not sure how this is viewed, but if someone without a status bar is getting the same thing, it's seems a bit irrelevant in general to blame the status bar?
@bapsack
I accidently thanked you for that post hah wanted to quote it, anyways the reason for that is because it's not possible to replace that yet obviously, nothing integrates all the dynamic info it displays. It's required sorry bud!

tell me how to do and I will check
My bet is:
-make your notification bar 0-20% black
-set 50%/50%/20% R/G/B color for notification bar font and make icons with blurred edges in the same color
NO way you will get a burn.
Thnak you MACHETE.
Hey there people.. I am a big fan of android and custom roms particularly the cyanogenmod and how they let you totally customize your phone. I am here posting this thread for a different reason.
Can the status bar be redefined?? Instead of the age old static status bar on top of the screen, if it can be modded into a dot or some kinda mini icon which expands on clicking it and glows when you have a notification just like the LED that would be great. And if you can give some visual effects like each of the notifications sliding from the side of the screen it would be cool..
Imagine you have just the dot and it is present on all the apps or games, instead of big black bar floating on your screen and eating away your screen, you click on the dot, the notifications open, and close back on clicking on the icon, you can continue what you were doing without leaving the app.
Developers please have a look at this and do it.. It would be a great success..
It's a nice idea, but I think most of us want that instant info when unlocking the phone. I want to see time, wireless signal and battery at a glance. Not unlocking, then pressing a dot or icon first! It would be neat if what you are suggesting could be implemented on full-screen apps though! i.e not having to leave Gallery when you hear a notification but don't have a statusbar...

How about giving that option in settings, like an option of seeing signal, battery status alone with the icon/dot or show the full status bar or just the dot..
If there were options of clicking the dot and opening up only how much you want as in just the network bar and battery status and you click the dot again it open up some more with some visual effects and just again if you want a detailed expanded notifications.
Just saying..!
Please drop in some ideas
And it would be awesome if everyone who takes a look at this thread drop in some suggestion or their view or their idea..
Thanks..
Would be cool

You could have all those readings on the lockscreen for the instant info and still have the status dot when you unlock.
I want something similar to the tablet UI, that's what's awesome

I second/third/fourth/thousand this idea. I can visualize what OP is imagining and I agree, sounds like a project that would take off.
Here's my .02;
Dot colors should be customizable
We should have the liberty of choosing where it shows up On our screen edges (X,Y access)
Maybe the possibility of using our own images. As in I can whip up different icons and make them pop up instead of the dot. Cool idea for personal logo use, strictly to show off of course.
Sent from my el Futuro
Glad!
I am glad many have liked the idea.. another idea is you can choose the background of the notification bar that opens as in transparency, black, white etc..
Whenever you get a notification ripples flow from the dot indicating the notification and each color indicating a different notification..
Ohmy..!! my imagination seems to have no bounds..
Any developers?
Any developer who is interested???
How about something like using the google labs settings in the ICS browser. Whenver you put your finger on the side of the screen, your options pop up but in addition to options you time, signal, date, send message etc...

This would be really nice. I've grown so accustomed to the Browser's Quick Controls, and its one reason I rarely use Chrome.
And for now you could use Apex launcher, and set option for swype down to toggle notifications, and swype up to hide/show notification bar...

To sum up
options : full status bar
mini status bar
just the dot/custom icon
animations : ripple
glow
color of the notification bar : transparent
black
white
gestures : enable/disable
Any more additions??
When I first goty Nexus, straight out the box, I had a transparent navigation bar. .. Not only on.my home screen, but on most apps I can remember (gmail, gapps, Facebook, etc). But somewhere between flashing and wiping and restoring and unroofing and rerouting, etc (you get my drift), I now have only transparent on my home screen, and not throughout my native apps. Anyone know how to restore that, or mod it back to transparent?
Stock ROM only has transparent Nav bar on homescreen.

The only similar thing I saw on KitKat was expanded mode or expanded desktop, which sort of did that when the Nav bar came back from an "off screen" state. Might be available on L too...I'm not sure, I don't use Nav bars.
I'm looking for a way to make the nav bar/soft keys at the bottom of the display transparent everywhere, like it is on the homescreen on GEL
Anyone know of a method for doing this? I'm on the M preview.
I know it's possible with Xposed but I'm looking other ways.
Bump...anyone?
Bump....
It would be really easy to do if you decompile and recompile your systemui.apk but, it will not look like how you think it will look. Your nav bar will end up white or grey, because it will be transparent and behind the navbar will be dead space that is white or grey. All your full screen apps (Except launcher) do not sit behind the navbar.
I think what you actually want is a dynamic navbar that changes colour to match the primary colour of the app you are using, which is much more difficult.
Or... maybe you want an expanded desktop which allows the app to be true full screen, and you swipe up to bring the navbar up transparently over the app. Though this would cut any buttons or text fields off in the app when the navbar is up.
I see what you mean... Damn well that sucks.
Thanks for the reply.

Is there anyway to do this on the G8. I would like to make the navigation bar as tall as the status bar. I have blacken the status bar to hide the notch. If the black region on the top and bottom are the same. I would have a symmetric screen

Really? You would want to do that? Personally I feel like that would look much much worse. I don't know a way to do it though, sorry
