Hello Everyone,
Has anyone else noticed the screen is way too bright in most situations.
I'm trying to find an alternative method to dim the screen rather than using a darker layer over the screen as this doesn't seem to affect the brightness on the nav bar.
Does anyone know of any way to reduce the brightness.
I'm rooted and plan on doing whatever it takes.

Hello, I would probably use a darker theme and different nav bar theme by Xstana xposed module. Used to use the nav bar tho, not anymore.

Sweet thanks for the info , I'm looking into the Xposed modules now.
Flat Style colored bars can give u satisfaction by matching color or force color based on apps... or your color choice...

Is there any way to change the colors on these two things? On the Nexus 4 there was PA which brought the ability to change this stuff. I would like to make then constantly black because I think I'm the only one who prefers this kind of look... Is there a way to do that so I don't have to worry about them matching the application?

Use Lolistat xposed module to tint statusbar and navbar and also do use Tinted Recent Pannels xposed module to tint un-tinted recent apps Hope it helps
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.

No probs.
Well after 9 months I have very faint burn in on my nexus from the Nav bar. I noticed it when I had my phone horizontal while watching a YouTube video. Not the end of the world but it's unfortunate. I don't do "beast mode" where the brightness is jack up either just auto. Nav bar only not status bar.

Burn in is normal because it's a weak point of amoled displays.
That's why I use a black background, dark layers and apps with dark background. So no Gmail but Aquamail etc..,.

Burn in is faint but to be expected to some degree. I actually have all amoled take a look at my layers set up (no substratum). Even my Gmail is amoled....... However the aquamail app is amazing. I've tried all email apps and haven't liked any so I've reluctantly used Gmail...... Good suggestion on aquamail. My new email app now.
If you flash ROMs, using one with nav bar dimming (e.g. Slim dim) incorporated would help. I'm not seeing any burn in but I've had my nav bar dimmed much of this phones life.
Hello,
The Mi Mix is a wonderful device, but that Ugly navigationbar sucks. See attached Pic.
Is there a way to theme it with for example substratum?
Even make it complete Dark?
I dont searching for any alternativ like lmt, Pie or gmd.
Unlock the bootloader and root the device - once you do that you can change colors or presence permanently as you see fit.
You can even hide them too with slide up to appear for more screen space.
I fixed this issue just now!
Simply download the Xposed tweak called Flat Style Colored Bars then enable it in Xposed.
It works for the Smartisan Desktop app, ViPER4Arise, etc.
And I think it's also useful for your apps.

This module is also does the job. Colourise both status bar and navigation bar by picking the background colour. Good for eyes: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.flarejune.perfectcolorbar

On Android 7 and below, a couple screen dimmer apps, like Darker, were able to dim the nav bar and status bar. Seems Android 8 kills that. Any workarounds or apps updated to d the nav bar?
Was wondering about that as well.
My main problem is the notification drawer, which burns my retinas at night.
Currently using Twilight.

I also use Twilight (have done for years) and have the same issue. It's disappointing that Sony removed the standard Night Mode from Oreo, because I've seen it on a mate's Pixel and it works very well - like Twilight did on previous versions.
I use the xBlack - Red Theme where the buttons are just grey dots and it's ok for my eyes. So maybe that's a solution.

There are ways to mod the looks of your phone without having to root Andromeda can be set up with a couple of ADB commands, this then gives you access to Substratum.
The modules that I use most are SX DarkRes, Swift Black and Spectrum.
Spectrum is probably the best place to start for custom dark nav bar.
