Transparent status bar. - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can I set it transparent without root? I had it on 5.1.1 but is gone after latest update to MM. Quite often I use power saving mode and grey status bar drives me crazy. It probably doesnt save power anyway.

Yes, that grey bar on top is super annoying. Here's to hoping someone knows how to do it

The grey bar drives me a little crazy too. I was so used to the transparent one. My phone pretty much stays in Power Saving mode so if there's no workaround for it then I'll just have to deal.

Yeah gray bar is stupid.

What apps does this even show up? The only one I have seen it happen is the stock internet app which caused me to start using Chrome.

Use Nova Prime.

Turn off your " Power Saver " is the only way without root.

What status (notification) bar do you use?

I'm currently using Omega StatusBar but it's buggy at best. After enabling in accessibility settings I find that the counters are frequently incorrect, apps stick around after clearing notifications, and ongoing notifications don't play very nice.
Anyone using a statusbar with more success? Which one?
I'm looking for any which display icons for notifications rather than the vague circle with a number within it as present in the stock os. It's good to see what's going on at a glance without swiping down.

+1 want to know the best bar too xD
I wasn't even able to get Omega StatusBar to display notifications on my 8.9" HD. As soon as I turned on the "accessibility" option necessary for it to intercept notifications, I got a force close.
I've tried a couple of other status bar replacements from the Play store with the same results -- all fail turning accessibility on. I've seen reports of other 8.9" users having the same problem.
I would certainly like to hear of a working status bar that doesn't have this problem.
The stock status bar works.

You have to go to the Kindle's settings -> accessibility -> then turn on the option for Omega Statusbar accessibility.
From there you can turn on the accessibility within Omega's app. It might force close but it will work.
At that point when you open the Omega app you will want to hit the button on the top-right-most of the screen. It turns on the status bar. You should instantly see the statusbar pop up.
It doesn't always clear notifications though. I guess this is an android limitation with what gets sent to the accessibility api.
Hope that works for you.

Oh and if you're stock or stock rooted and you don't have accessibility settings within the Kindle's settings menu use KFHD Extended Settings to access it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124384

Thanks, I got it working. It wasn't worth it, though. Wasn't much of a functional improvement, didn't look that much better, and the old status bar would show up in flashes now and then.
Maybe the stock toolbar isn't that bad...

Yeah.. And even moving to /system/app doesn't make a difference unfortunately. At least when the stock toolbar says 10 notifications, its really 10 notifications. I'm confident some ROM will get something stable going though, just a matter of time.

Is there a way to change the icons that show in the status bar without having to switch to an entire other status bar? I'm referring to the parental controls, wifi and battery icons that appear in the top right corner. I'd like to customize those. Possible?

4.3 OTA and Power Saver notification?

I thought I read somewhere that the 4.3 OTA was supposed to enable turning off the Power Saver notification (a complete waste of screen space) but that doesn't seem to be the case? Or am I missing something?

They moved it to the quick toggles.
You can turn Power Saver on and off in the Quick Toggles, but can't control the notification in the pull down. I want Power Saver on, but without the notification. If you go to "Power" under All Apps, there is a notification check box but it is grayed out.

He's trying to say that he does in fact want power saver to be on (which is just a press of the toggle), but while power saver is turned on, a notification appears in the status bar just like it used to. He doesn't want this notification.
Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmzsoft.powersaverdisabler&hl=en
remove the icon from the notification bar with it, then uninstall the app, powersaver still runs but it wont show in the bar anymore
done
You can also do it yourself straight from terminal emulator
Code:
su
pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver

Yes you would need root, it would be a simple matter of rooting, running the app/command to remove the icon then unrooting however it just depends on how much effort you want to go through vs how much you hate that icon
personally I didn't mind the icon and learned to ignore it with 4.1.2 but now with 4.3 I decided to remove it. I'm not sure why they force it on us in the notification bar when its not really a "notification"

I actually hate that icon a lot! Almost as much as the big menu bar at the bottom of the screen, which thankfully is now gone. Rooting, removing and then unrooting is not a bad idea - I've rooted several devices, its not something I enjoy doing, but I can do it. I can't stay rooted thanks primarily to Time Warner Cable and their TWC TV app, that won't run with root without additional convoluted effort that doesn't always work.
My other alternative is to force close the notification manually ... given how infrequently I need to reboot the phone, I wouldn't have to do this all that often.

Verizon LG G2 screen tinted red

All of a sudden my screen has a horrible red tint. It appears to be a software issue because when I reboot the phone, the booting logos are all colored properly. Also - the navigation bar is not tinted red, only the rest of the screen. When I play a full screen video the navigation area also turns red. That indicates to me that this is a software problem. I disabled all of my xposed modules and switched back to the stock launcher but it's still red.
Next step unfortunately will be to factory reset or flash a new rom but I'd really love to avoid that. Any idea what might have caused this?
Recovery screen is normal colored as well. The only modifications I've done are root the stock rom, install greenify, Xposed, and G2Xposed.
Edit: Solved, it was the Lux app. Weird. It's been working fine for me for months and wasn't updated today.
There is an astronomy mode on the lux app, you probably hit the star button accidentally

[Q] Reduce size of on-screen buttons?

Just picked up my M8. Coming from an Evo LTE (Jewel), the size of the on-screen buttons is very frustrating. I keep finding myself typing in the wrong place. Tried immersive mode with an Xposed module, but eh.
I haven't seen a ROM yet that includes smaller on-screen buttons, but I know such a thing exists for other devices, so I can only assume it would be available for the M8.
Does this capability exist yet?;
Have you tried an Auto Hide keys app?

I don't think there's a way to make them smaller without a custom ROM or Xposed module. As soon as ROM development kicks off then we should see much more customizability.
Well, I didn't want to hide them completely; just make them take up less space on the screen. The immersive mode module for Xposed hides the buttons (as well as the status bar), but I'm not sure I want things things hidden all the time.

there is an app called "Dimension123" on the play store. There you can edit the height.

Yeah, sorry. It's an Xposed module not an app on play store. You have to be rooted and using Xposes Installer.
I am using Xposed and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[Q] Immersive Mode

Is there any way to enable immersive mode?
If you use Nova Prime you can set it up to always hide the status bar.
I don't believe TW does it on its own.

Hmm. I prefer GNL. I tried getting the Xposed GELs working unsuccessfully. Maybe I will try NP.

anyone know how to get immersive mode to work correctly on Samsung galaxy note 4? currently, i tried using an app and using nova launcher, it hides the icons when using Waze, but there is still an empty black space where the icons were and won't go into full-screen mode?
