Hello,
We users of Note1 is having status bar all the time at the Top and I want to change the following:
1] Change the color to black as it was originally back in Gingerbread... In JB they changed (Official stock) to dark grey!
2] Have Status Bar like in Note 3 ,i.e, all info. is still displayed but beneath the screen wallpaper, so that it blends.
I am not rooted, but all kinds of tricks and links will be appreciated.
1. Use a different launcher like Nova.
2. Modify the systemui.apk yourself by decompiling and editing.
3. Root, use xposed framework and modules to change the status bar to black, transparent, or whatever color you like.

Does anyone know how to change the notification bar colour from black to white?
Do you mean the regular emui notification bar? It adapts to the background image you set, so just set a brighter image or edit your current background to include a white bar at the top, though that would look a bit ugly.
If you mean the background when you pull the notification bar down, then you should have a look at custom emui themes, or even make your own somehow.
No i meant the actual expanded notification bar as the black doesn't work well with most apps and huawei uses black font as well when displaying notifs. I only think huawei themes work with stock launcher? And i use nova... Thanks anyway
I think the themes work everywhere, no matter what launcher (at least the notification bar part should). Not all themes include a modified notification bar though, so I think you could try one that definitely does change the notification bar and see it works for you in Nova launcher as well.
I'm attaching a theme I know for sure features a different notification bar for you to try. I also know it's terribly ugly but it's just for testing purposes, once you confirm that it does change the notification bar color for you, we could start disassembling the theme to only take out the interesting parts and adapt them to a different theme after changing the image from greenish to something more white-ish
PS. I had to change the extension to .zip for the board to accept the attachment, please change it to .hwt after you download it and move it into "/sdcard/HWThemes" so the theme manager can find it.

I have installed a white theme that i really like but now the text from status bar can't be seen as it is also white. Is there any way without root to change text colour or background? Changing the theme picture top could also be an option if i could find it and paint it dark but it's downloaded from theme store. Can it be found and be modified?
Did you find a way around this?
I once had an app called super status bar installed. It doesn't affect the original status bar (because AFAIK that's not possible without root) - but it replaces it completely and you can customize it then freely.
There are probably several other status bar replacement apps on the Play Store too, there should be something fitting for you.
I've tried 4 different exposed module's and haven't been able to successfully change the icons on my H810(10b). Has anyone found a module that did work to change the nab and status bar color? Other then running a theme engine is their any way to change the icons in the system directory? I'd really like to do some theming and color changes aswell.
Hello everyone. I hope someone read this post and can help me solve the problem. I'm going crazy to change the icons of the navigation bar in my Tab 2 Gtp-3110 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2). The device is rooted, with the exposed and the busybox installed. I tried many tutorial on the web (and XDA) but none of them was functional. Below my experiences:
-SYSTEMUI ICONS (systemui.apk editor): although I have assigned a new personal icon (30x30 32bit png) from the gallery to the existing one,nothing is changed at the next reboot
-Android L Navigation Bar.apk (aka lollipop navbar): After activating the xposed module and modifying the build.prop as suggested, nothing is changed at the next reboot and the navbar icons remain those of the stock firmware
-xstana: it works but navbar icons are all moved to the right and side by side (without spacing from the icons)
-Ultimate Dynamic Navbar: it works, but it's an extra service (about 10 mb) and it's not a real alternative to modify the navbar (otherwise the icons are not customizable and you can only choose those available from the app)
Now I'm trying to modify directly the systemUI.apk but I can not figure out which icons I have to replace. Can you give me a hand?

It's the fourth post I'm writing on this forum and never anyone who has answered me. I try it for the last time, hoping someone reads me.
Pixel Navbar?
Is there any application or mod that would allow me to change the color of the statusbar in an application. The only way I find is with xposed which doesn't currently work
Have you tried looking into the MIUI themes app? This will change a lot of things depending on the theme you choose but it will also change the status bar color. I use the "Lineage N" theme.
