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.

As far as I know screen burn is unavoidable with the notification bar shining bright white. Best way to minimize it's effects are:
- screen brightness turned down
- downloading Dolphin HD browser and using full screen mode

but can i sent the phone for raplacemant
If its really bad screen burn contact HTC to see what can be done regarding a replacement tomorrow.
To prevent the burn-in you should use a dark notification bar mod, maybe the HTC Sense notification bar.
With black color no pixel gets switched on and the light of the pixels doesn't get consumed (as much as with a white bar).
Launcher pro has an option to hide the notification bar. You can find it on the market.
I use ADW launcher which gives me the option to hide the notifications bar, and use the Dolphin HD browser in full screen mode.
If you want the notifications bar then just root and install a dark/black bar.
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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.
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

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...
