Hi,
Can someone make a launcher with the notification bar transparent? I just noticed that the "burn-in" problem for blue background is real. I used Jscreen for 6-7 hours and 90% percent of "burn-in" problem was fixed, but It will be nice to have a transparent notification bar. This way the "burn-in" problem won't be an issue.
PS: To check if you have "burn-in" problem enter "LCD Test Mode" by dialing *#0*# then choose "red", "green" and "blue". Check the notification bar area.
Wrong section to ask a question seeing as we already have a question/answer forum
On another note, why not just get a launcher that supports toggling status bar ?
eg LauncherPro,Adwlauncher,Zeam....etc (Order does not reflect preference)

I think a question for modified launcher belongs to Development area. The poll is only secondary issue.
I like the stock launcher (it is the only one on JS3 who doesn't lag without lagfix) and tell me how do you select on other launchers the notification bar if you choose to hide it.
Is there an app to check that? I'm in cm7 and the code doesn't work beside samsung firmwares..
Swipe up to make it appear. Swipe down to open it completely.

Thank you, good to know . But it is useful only for launchers who have this option.

Jscreen. After you start Fix Stuck Pixel press Menu and choose Locate.
How does this technically fix the degradation ??
EDIT:
"Removes burn-in by equalising screen usage. "
This probably means degrading the entire screen with the hopes that the degradation will match on the burned out area
Degradation can be stopped with lower brightness, right? With apps like Screen Filter.
Hm... On the other hand, what has brightness to do with colors? On classic LCDs - nothing, hm...

I really don't think so because with Jscreenfix it's the same pattern on whole screen. If it's about degradation then pixels already damaged will be damaged more, so the difference between pixels degradation will be the same.
For this issue, I'm using this combination:
1. Use another launcher. I'm using ADW, and activate the 'Hide Notification Panel' option.
2. Activate the 'Full Screen Mode' in my browser. This will hide the notif panel while browsing. I'm using Opera Mobile.
3. Get rid the clock in the notif panel. I'm using the PaulDiddy's theme to do that. Then I use widget to display the clock.
4. Reduce the screen brightness to minimum as much as possible.
5. Any other ways that prevent too many appearence of bright static pixels will help to reduce the burn in issue getting worse.
Awww. If only I know an app call Jscreen, I will not waste my time sending my phone for service just 2 days ago (got back today).
The only thing I found so far is changing the background of notification bar as shown in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726411
I chose transparent bar.

TBH, I dont see how having a transparent bar will help vs a black bar, infact having a transparent bar will degrade it significantly faster vs black.

The problem is with pixels from inactive region of the notification bar, so it seems that degradation results from inactivity. A transparent bar will put them to work so they will not degrade anymore.
PS: the colour of the notification bar isn't 100% black, it's grey or 90% black, so maybe it's better to say Static Pixels instead of Inactive Pixels. In both cases activity seems to make them recover.
PPS: The third PNG looks more like the actual "burn-in" (the difference between colors isn't so big though).
The bottom status bar on the homescreen, with the time, wifi bar and battery logo bottom right and the other 3/4 icons bottom left...
This stays there when im in a full screen game, often cutting off some of the touch controls.
Anyone else get this problem, and how to make it hide/go to back or completely dissapear when in game? Thanks.
Tablet bar hider from the market
Dear XDA users!
I just bought a P30 pro. Everything is amazing with the device itseflt, (but for me at least), there is one very annoying and frustrating thing I cannot accept and live with that.
I had P20 lite before, and on that phone, after I changed the navigation to gestures, the icon texts in the last row of the screen at the bottom automatically were unhided. Like "Dailer", "Messages", "Mail" etc..
It is the same behavior for other devices as well, such as Honor8x, Mate20 lite, etc, so if the navigation bar is hidden (by gestures or 3rd party app), the name of the icons are turned ON, because there is enough space to show them instead of the navigation bar.
It makes me crazy that it does not work the same like in the other phones. Why? Is there any solution to bring back, or show the icon names at the bottom, if the gestures are enabled?
Currently it looks so stupid that an unvisible line is under the icons.
Please help. Any suggestion is very appreciated!
Samy, HTC, Pixel, etc all have no icon names in homescreen
Hi everyone.
Do you know the way to force the position of the navigation bar on the left instead of the bottom? On wide screens it is already possible. Is it possible to cheat the application to put a bar on a regular screen too? The bar at the bottom takes up too much space. There were a lot of questions about the possibility of hiding it, but to no avail. It may be possible to change its location. That would be something!
hi guys, is possible to hide punch hole? i think on the regular s20 you can do that (i think it makes a black bezel on top and move down all icons in a "new" status bar). if so, can you share a screenshot if you can please? I'd like to buy this phone, but only if i can hide the hole, i hate them... thanks!
Yup, there is an option in settings that puts a black row on top and the whole system is shrinked a little bit. Screenshot cannot show it so it's pointless. But I can confirm it's the same as on other phones
