ChargeBar is a free, fully-customizable, feature-packed MIUI battery bar for ANY Android device on ANY ROM, no root required! Hopefully everyone will give this a shot, we're sure you'll like it. It includes more customizations that the actual MIUI battery bar! Like the app? Don't forget to hit "Thanks!"
Feature include:
The ability to start when the device has finished booting.
Automatic hiding in full screen applications.
Hiding in the lock screen.
Displaying a status bar notification/ reminder.
Configurable animation style (normal, right-to-left/ inverted, and centered)!
1% battery indicator for supported devices (and a hack for Motorola devices including the Defy).
Charging animations.
Changing the color (choose a static color or an interval based on the remaining charge).
1% interval options for color (unlike other apps there are no predefined ranged like 0-20%, you can select as many ranges as finely as you want. Even choose a color for every percent!)
Changing the height.
Configurable position (top, bottom, bottom of status bar).
If possible please consider donating, it supports development as well as removes the permanent graphical links at the bottom of the app (they are not "ads" per-say nor does this app require the INTERNET permission). Please refrain from re-posting the APK anywhere! We will take care of updating it on our website.
While ChargeBar is no longer in beta that does not mean that there will not be bugs. If you run into any issues please send us an email with your device, firmware, description of the problem, screenshot/ logcat, or any other relevant piece of information.

It looks great. Ill try it out whenever I can download it.
Awesome! Can you add an option to change color after a specific battery level? Like Change color to red after 15%

nice job....just what i need....like the animation when is charging
Thanks guys, I will certainly look into custom colors for specific levels and/ or times of the day but I don't want to look it into say 15%, 30%, etc. so I need to come up with a clever interface and ContentProvider to handle this.
Downloaded to my Xoom.
Works as well as the team battery bar app from market.
On 4.0.3 under status bar goes about 1cm from top of screen not at the bottom.

Ah, yeah. I don't have a tablet to develop or test on so that makes sense. I've got an idea how to fix that but am not entirely sure.

it was in the days of Windows Mobile 5 (2006) and SPB Pocket Plus 4.0.0 (2007) which came up with this idea...
and now
IMPLEMENTED ON ANDROID ! LOVE YOU!

The latest update available on the Android Market or our website now has this fixed. The position option "Bottom of Status Bar" is not "Top of System Bar" for Honeycomb+ tablet users.
Keep checking in for more updates, and when possible consider donating.

Great stuff. Using it now.
some1 reported that it almost messed his device by changing the Height to a very high amount, like 600-700-800 range
only way was to wait till battery dropped and could see his screen again
suggest to limit the amount
Looks nice but i can't seem to make it show above your super status bar+ app.
Best thing that I can do is to make it show at the bottom

Alright, I've set the height in the latest version (beta two) to 99px, just to be sure that it can't do "too" much damage. Of course this option should be used with caution even at 99px, but it should minimize the impact.
Check out the Android Market or our website for the latest APK.

Fantastic app. Back in Windows Mobile times I used a similar one. One option I really liked was an ability to set the color to rainbow style (RGB spectrum). It made the bar really visible no matter what the background was. Could you think of implementing it in future versions?
I set everything and start the app but i don't see the bar in any location i tried. I tried bigger height but still nothing. Process is running. Any help?
Swyped from my Galaxy mini
i got this on my tf101 whithout knowing its only weeks old and i have found the thread for it !!!
following on from rgb i think the low battery states should be red then yellow then green. making a gradient
Hi all!
I just made this simple app mainly for personal use. However, I decided to share in case someone finds it useful.
It basically turns your Alpha and RGB into a string you can use in xml used by Android (themes etc.). See screenshot.

The Color of the output changes. Or what do you mean?
how I can have this accent color?
I Have Dynamics Rom 7.8 for HTC HD7
Set it via SW named Advanced Config ... It works for me well
which is the color code for this accent?

I have this as my theme too.
I used Metro Theme. Go to - Accent - Set color code to FF000000 and then save.
Then go to - Settings - Theme - Accent and select the new saved black accent. Arrow back to theme and set background as white and you're done!
here you have it. i've done this already a month ago. but it is NOT usable at all. you will miss the colors in the other parts of the OS the next day the missed call color will be black, link will be black, some apps will have black accents. so i don't see any good thing in this, oh there is one for people with not so good eyes maybe?! the used colof is FF000000 that's black and dont change the two first FF never! use advanced config to make it easy.
Guys,
How can get the yellow accent color (yellow accent color on lumia 920 to be specific) ?

You cannot make this on stock ROM. Its only possible on unlocked ROM.
As you all know June update limits choices for the color of navigation bar. But underlying settings can be still set to arbitrary values using adb shell.
- No root access needed
- No extra applications needed
- No changing themes needed
- Change is persistent after reboot.
Relevant settings are under global/navigationbar_current_color and global/navigationbar_color.
For example by running this you'll get a dark shade:
Code:
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -317057255
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -317057255
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_use_theme_default 0
You can change the number value to get different colors. Default is "-986896"
Pay attention to minus sign if result of calculation is negative, it is significant.
Color picker
To pick colors easily and calculate their values automatically you can use the color picker
Example colors
• Opaque black: -16777216
• Transparent black: 65793 (this is not true black - rgb (0,0,0), but almost black - rgb (1,1,1)-)
• Transparent gray: 8421504
You can use the color picker linked above to calculate values for arbitrary colors of your choice.
Caveats
• Don't use transparent colors if you don't want navigation bar color to change with different apps (ex. keyboard)
• Some applications may set custom colors for navigation bar. This setting only changes default color of the bar, it doesn't override application specific colors.
• Fully transparent navigation bar is not possible except few builtin applications (eg. Gallery or app switcher). You can specify transparency but it just specifies how the nav. bar. color will render on top of the applications color, it doesn't mean the application will render under the navigation bar
• For some reason fully transparent true black shows up as opaque white in most applications. Workaround is using almost black colors instead of true black.
Details for manually calculating values:
Value format is ARGB hex color code converted to signed decimal. (Thanks Acoustichayes for pointing it out.)
1. Pick a color and find out its RGB hex code using a color picker (such as http://htmlcolorcodes.com/). For example you should get.
2. If you want transparency you must prepend transparency value to the color value. 00 is fully transparent, ff is fully opaque, inbetween are varying degrees of transparency.
3. Convert this value to decimal
4. If the resulting value is larger than 2147483647, subtract 4294967296 from it.
Example:
1. Hex value of desired color is #4826bf
2. We want 10% transparency, thus using e6 as the hex value for transparency. Prepend to color value and the number becomes e64826bf
3. Convert to decimal: 3863488191
4. 3863488191 is greater than 2147483647 (max signed int), thus our value wraps and become
Code:
3863488191 - 4294967296 = -431479105
5. Run
Code:
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -431479105
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -431479105

Hello, newbie here and I am not happy with the new update. If its okay, can you put a step by step on how to do this? I've never tried doing this kimd of things but I would if there's an instruction. Thanks!!
Are they not her values for color?
Generally, 6 digits is base color, eg: ffffff is white. Where each double digit is a representation of r, g, b.
And 8 digits adds alpha value(transparency) so the first 2 digits are the transparency and the last 6 are the color. You can Google hex color codes to look up exactly what you want
Any option like this to change the height of navbar?

You have to install "adb" in your computer and connect the phone to pc with usb cable. You can search for adb guides on Google for detailed steps. It is a general android topic and not S8 specific so you can find plenty of guides.

Confirmed hex codes. I needed root to run in shell. Maybe not required for USB though.

Transparency is possible by adding transparency value to beginning of hex number. It somewhat tricky to calculate because integers overflows and wraps around to negative values.
Formula is:
1. Add transparency value to beginning
2. Convert to decimal
3. Substract 4294967296 if it is greater than 2147483647
For example if you want color "34 bd 3c" and make it fully transparent you must prepend "ff" and the number becomes "ff 34 bd 3c". Convert it to decimal: 4281646396. Substract: 4281646396-4294967296=−13320900. So −13320900 is the value you want.

You can just use the hex code without converting to decimal. I just made it white with ffffffff and black with ff000000.

So as the oneplus missed the bit on dark navbar on dark themed apps:
Small guide for the somewhat skilled xda-members.
Take backups as usual.
Pre req:
1: Deodexed rom
As not there are none so you have to do it yourself
(Fulmics deodex tool is an good start)
I may provide an rom if enough requests.
2: Decompile OPSystemUI.apk
An excellent toll : Advanced+ApkTool
3: Go to: OPSystemUI.apk\res\values\colors.xml
Change to <color name="op_nav_bar_background_light">#ff000000</color>
4: Recompile, and flash
I attach an updater for deodexed roms.
The reason for why it's white is because it's to avoid possible burn ins. And I read somewhere that you can download this app called "navbar app" which can change it to black if you're really wanted too.

Navbar app resets to defaults, eg, not functional on op5T
For me "Navbar Apps" does the trick, you just need to grand accessibility service, you don't even need root. I just disabled the color changing animation.
Any screens?
Navbar apps work but not everytime. Like - It doesn't work perfectly on Nova Launcher and Google App.
For the most apps the navbar app improved the ugly grey navbar. Facebook in App browser for eg forces the grey navbar. I attached chrome screenshots with enabled black navbar and the default grey one. Nova launcher works perfect for me.
I've never been a fan of the black navbar. I've always thought it should match the color of the top status bar.
So far, using the Light theme, the off-white navbar looks pretty good.

I really miss some of the ROMs from the good old days. Where Devs would take stock ROMs deodex them, decompile individual apps make edits like you mentioned above and smali edits. In some cases the end result would be a stock based ROM with all the extra options.
This was all before Xposed.

I don't think you need to worry about burn in down there. Better option would be to change the spacing and nav theme more often (like once every few months).

White color only makes it burn in harder.
I have not had any issues with the navbar apps from play store. I set to static black and stays that way. I would not mind a fully deodexed stock ROM though, That would be nice. No other modifications, just deodexed, fixed nav of course why this thread is here, and boom. lol
Am really disappointed ,I never imagine that you can change navbar color /icons /notification background /etc. on samsung s8 /s8+/note without root and in our device it will be so difficult .
Never mind i will live with this .

+1 to this, I would love to see a deodexed stock OOS for our device that has a few modification options. Similar to what Fulmics did with the LG G3 (and other LG devices). He is the author of that deodex tool after all. Probably most of it could be done through modifying this same system APK & flashing on a rooted device, something I'm considering toying around with (but it would be time consuming...). Only problem with solutions like this is when new system updates come out you need to wait for an updated version of this as well in many cases.
Easier just to install Navbar apps from play

No, the *off white* color used with the grey buttons reduces burn-in greatly. A black navbar on an OLED screen simply causes the pixels in the navbar strip to remain deactivated for prolonged periods of time, causing the buttons themselves and every other part of the screen whose pixels remain active more often to degenerate at a much faster rate, causing the burn-in effect. Since the nav-bar isn't completely white, the pixels in that area aren't being driven as hard as they would be, were they stark white, or as white as the display can go. The grey buttons/icons help reduce burn-in as well, as the pixels are still active and "lit" in these areas and are not being driven the hardest possible (stark white on OLED drives the pixels harder than off-white, grey, and most other colors displayed by the phone).
