[Q] [HELP] Notification drawer minor graphical issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I'm running KK 4.4, rooted and unlocked. I recently had installed a couple of mods, most notably this mod to give me a battery percentage number. Well I installed the back-to-stock files provided by those developers in anticipation of installing Xposed. But inbetween, I noticed that my notification drawer didn't have a complete gray bar across the top (see screenshot, and picture of what it should look like).
After installing Xposed and GravityBox for KK, I tried using the notification drawer color fill option to see if that would correct or override it, but that completely filled the drawer, hiding everything in it. I could still click buttons, but could not see them. So I reversed that, but still have the gap in the bar. Edit: Seems I had to choose "underlay" as an option for the color fill, so it's unrelated/not an issue as far as that goes.
It seems like a minor thing, but given how the color fill reacted in addition to now having this gap, I'm worried that there may be other issues I could run into. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I could fix this, hopefully without reinstalling the OS?
Edit: Attached another screenshot better illustrating what's happening.

I'm having the same issues running franco kernel. Any help would be appreciated. Dirty flash does nothing for me.
EDIT: I was able to solve this by flashing this battery percent mod, you might want to give it a try:

Thanks, but I just came back to say that I completely wiped the phone and put a stock ROM back on.

Notification bar not showing

After installing gummy Rom my notification bar is not showing up. Is there a setting I am missing?

reboot the phone, I get notification bar force closes occasionally... it'll either restart itself and come back or you'll have to restart the phone
I have rebooted phone a couple times and still does not come back.

using a different launcher by any chance? I know ADW and Go both have options to hide status bar which may be checked by default, also you could look at the Gummy launcher2 options and see if anything's in there
I've been getting this too since I flashed the latest gummy GBE. I'm sure it happens more than I notice. When it doesn't restart itself, I gotta reboot the phone. Also, I'm getting tons of lag. I've flashed twice already, but I think I might give it another go. Anyone have any ideas?

Lots of problems with the latest Gummy GBE. The status bar issue is minor compared to the hot boot issue. My advice is to go back to the RC until they have the problems worked out.

[Q] Far right blank homescreen on GEL

Using the stock launcher, this problem/feature just started popping up recently. I couldn't find any discussion on if this was part of the newer Google Search / GEL updates.
On the homescreen indicator that separates the dock, I now have a plus sign on the far right, which makes the regular indicating dots off center. Swiping left is Google Now like always, but now swiping right after the rightmost homescreen leads to a blank homescreen (screenshots attached). It used to just be that trying to swipe right on the rightmost homescreen would do nothing. How do I go back to this original function?
I'm using Cataclysm Rom [Nov 15] and franco.Kernel r14. I've searched through those threads for more information about this blank homescreen, but no luck. I've also dug through the Cataclysm Settings to see if I've ticked any options, but I can't find anything. I don't have the franco.Kernel app so I don't know if this might be a kernel setting, but again, I couldn't find anything in the franco.Kernel thread.
Thanks for any help!
Move an icon over there and move it back. That fixed it when mine did it.

Thanks, that temporarily got rid of it, but after a reboot, the plus sign and the blank homescreen came back.
Maybe it's just part of GEL now? Haven't found any discussions about it though :/
I too have this, it drives me absolutely nuts! It shows up after reboots and random times! No fix besides putting app there and deleting
It has happened to me twice so far. Can't figure out what it is.

Only had the problem once and this solved it.
Having the same issue, appears randomly and I have to either restart the phone or use the app move/unmove trick to get rid of it.
I haven't found a correlation to any thing in particular or any app but I'd like to know what's causing this..
I have experienced this as well. I just reboot the phone and it goes away. Pretty minor bug but yea i imagine it will get fixed in the next update.

[Completed] How to clean the device fully? [Please read]

Hey guys, any help would be appreciated!
Alright, I will try to explain it simply and clean. Basically, the thing is when I first got my LG G2 (kitkat), I rooted it and installed some mods. One of them was G2 tweaksbox xposed module. With that module, you can hide "clear all" and "task manager" button from recents. But the thing is, after I re-flashed my ROM (absolutely full wipe, nothing left), weird thing happened since. You all know that animation when going to recents from an app in jelly bean and kitkat and now, it's kinda bugged. The animation is a little bit off graphically. Basically, the animation reads navigation bar like it's a little bit bigger than it should be and it looks kinda weird, like it first goes a little bit more bottom and gets back up making it look graphically bad. Everything shows that nav bar is stock size, even tried many mods that make it stock and yeah, basically it is stock but even some apps still read it like it's wrong. That animation is fixable if I hide that buttons in recents again, but it bugs me that even after 3 months of MANY wipes and all the crap it's still like that, I just can't make it fully stock if I would want to.
So my question is, is something from xposed or anything like that left in phone even after going through FULL wipes many many, like maaany times? Did I miss something? If so, can I do something like manual cleaning so phone will finally be 100% stock again? I call it "memory effect", sort of like phone still reads it like there's an xposed module partially and it just can't get a rid of that.
So, I would really appreciate if you read this fully and try to help me. Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
To better assist you, please post your device model number and carrier.
Wiping cache (dalvik), data and system partitions should do the trick. Some apps use the internal storage /sdcard to store data too.
It's pretty easy to go back to full stock on a Nexus device but you should ask in your device forum to get further assistance.

Display stops working, mostly, on second boot after installing non-stock.

I've got an odd problem with my p900. If I install any lollipop ASOP ROMs, the first time I reboot after initial install, the display mostly stops working. The first boot works fine, I go through the setup wizard, set everything up, and the tablet works and displays fine as long as I don't reboot.
Specifically, what will happen if I reboot is that the tablet will go through the normal boot, and get to the point when the wallpaper and status bar will come up, but no homescreen icons or anything. Then after a while, about 2-5 minutes, the display will go black except for the status bar. I can pull down the notifications drawer from the status bar, and it will display, as will the quick settings, but anything I tap to try to interact with will seemingly just do nothing. If I have 'show touches' on, then touches will display properly, anywhere on the screen, but they seem to do nothing. I've tried trebuchet, google now, and adwex, the home app doesn't seem to make a difference.
The problem first began in I want to say october, when I flashed a CM12 nightly update. I unfortunately no longer remember which nightly I was on nor which I flashed to. I of course immedately tried to flash back to the previous nightly when I discovered the problem, but it did no good. It took me a while to figure out the pattern to the problem after it first occurred, as I often don't reboot the device for a long while after a first install. I don't have a lot of spare time to devote to sitting down and just focusing on trying different things, so it wasn't until president's day weekend that I tried what I *thought* would fix it, ODINing back to stock and installing the latest CM12.1. Clearly that didn't work, or I wouldn't be posting.
I've tried the 20151104, 1029, 1006, and 0910 CM12.1s from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945. I've also tried Civz lollipop, pacman, and resurection remix. Anything not stock based has the problem. I tried running stock, but I've been running CM since G1 days, and I just can't stand stock, even the stripped down and modded versions. It just doesn't work right, and I can't get used to it, even after forcing myself to use it for several days.
I've never encountered such a weird problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this beyond what I've done already. I'm currently running thompatry's Cm12.1 20160212, having not rebooted after the initial install, and it's running mostly ok, but I live in dread of my battery dying, and of course I can't install any xposed modules like xprivacy or multiwindow, which is bothersome. I have the wifi only US model, v1awifi, and I'm currently running TWRP 3, tho I was on TWRP 2.8.something when the issues first started happening.
what's the last 3 characters of your bootloader version?

Have you tried changing kernel? I mean in the case of civz lollipop rom you do get an option of 2 different kernels try choosing the opposite to the one you had chosen before. Thank you, hope it helps.
I won a year ago 2 Note Pro, one works flawlessly while the other is slow af and it has the same issue that you speak about. If I stay on stock everything is good more or less (sometime little slow), but if I install Lineage or any other Custom Rom is too slow and has the same issue you speak.
I changed both batteries, but nothing to do. If anyone knows, text please.
Thank you!

Strange behavior.

So... I had no problems with my(second) idol 3, all was well and dandy. But recently the colours on the screen became more saturated, almost like an amoled display, followed by a significant decrease in performance. Nothing is changed, no root no nothing. Totally stock, except for the launcher. That would be Nova launcher and I used it since the day I got the phone with no problems. What the hell happened and has anyone else experienced this?
Random restart happened today and all my wifi passwords are lost.
in which app the colors are saturated? stock gallery app?
All over the phone. Not just the gallery. Perhaps the gallery is the fault for it?

i asked the gallery 'cause on my idol mostly (but not the only one) the gallery app that distorts color badly... have you tried a CM rom? in my case there is no color distortion on CM at all so the stock rom obviously has the wrong color balance settings
check this
https://www.reddit.com/r/idol3/comments/4g9ld9/distorted_colors_in_stock_gallery_app/
Yeah, I know about the gallery app too. Can't really install a CM rom due to warranty, it's only two monts old. I'm sure that the problem can be solved with a full wipe but that is not the answer I'm looking for.

I doubt that a wipe can solve errors like this. I did it a few times, restored firmware with Mobile Q, color distortions on stock ROM never disappeared. Best experience was with Color Balance app from Play Store. It's just too expensive for my budget.
I have tried wiping cash but to no avail. The performance has slightly improved during the day but has returned back to garbage now. This is so annoying. Is there a way to check the "settings" for this without root? Maybe something in build.prop or such?

without root you can't do any really useful. if you don't want to install cm, check this app (earlier i made a mistake with its name):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance&hl=en
If it can stop color distortion, at least you'll know that the phone hardware itself is correct, just the stock rom sucks.
-edit-
just read the new symptoms, at first i'd make a full reinstall with mobile upgrade q, if it doesn't solve anything, i'd go to a cm rom.
The problem seems to have fixed itself. I don't know what happened. All it's buttery smoothnes has returned after an accidental tap on the gallery app. The saturation has returned to normal too. I'll check out the app link for good measure. Thanks for all the help. How does one close a thread?
Guess I spoke too soon. The phone just did something of a restart. The whole boot animation happened but none of my open apps(gmail and chrome) have closed once it booted. Very strange.

that's normal, opened apps don't disappear from 'recent apps' after a reboot on lollipop.
however a reboot just from nowhere isn't normal.

I did not know that. Guess I will have to do the mobile upgrade q procedure. I'll give it a few days before I do that though.
Welp. I've given it some days and the problem has not returned. Also, a fun thing i didn't mention. This replacement idol 3 is not exactly the same as the previous one. For example the camera lenses had a green tint on the first one, but on this one they're blue. And the logo niw sits flush with the surface instead of being pushed more inside.
