I've installed nova launcher on my s-offed/rooted verizon htc one m8 to go over the sense launcher.
One thing I've noticed since changing to nova is that there are black translucent bars behind the navigation buttons down the bottom. Seeing as I've enabled the transparent option in the nova settings, I'm not sure what else I can do to hide those bars. It seems to affect every launcher other than sense, and it extends to the lockscreen having translucent bars underneath the navigation.
Does anyone have a quick fix for this? I'd really like to have a clean look and the bars breaks the image too much

Xposed module Xblast will take care of it.

I gave XBlast a shot and it seemed to work up till the point where you click a button and the black transparent bar appears again. The lockscreen bar never disappeared either.
It also managed to change the "back" button into something odd :S
Maybe mess around with the settings some more. It works fine for me.

I disabled all my other modules and it still came up with the odd button and translucent bg. Do you have pictures of the settings page for the it?
I'm also on stock rom so would that have anything to do with it?
I am on GPE ROM. Here are my settings.
Yup, definitely have the same settings and still no luck. I'm guessing it's got something to do with the stock sense rom since that bar appears on every launcher I've tried other than sense.
Hopefully there are other options out there for this
Hey, here's what you do:
-Flash Viper rom
-Go to the Venom Hub market
-I'm not on the rom anymore, but I think its under Addons > Other > Transparent Navbar on 3rd Party Launchers
-Flash the module
-???
-Profit!

So technically there's no way to do this without flashing a modded rom? Feeling a bit uneasy about going away from the stock sense

You can use Cleanrom or Viper and they are both modded sense roms and they work perfectly normal. There is nothing to be uneasy about using either or those roms.
Yea, guess that would be the only way. I'll probably look to flash one of those roms after the I/O updates
SO that's it ? There is no modification can be done from the system file to get a transparent navbar on all launchers ? Cuz on Lollipop there are no Xposed ,, so are we outta luck ?
Look for the thread "old school mods" in the unified m8 XDA section. Has exactly what your looking for
Save the Manuals!
For Nova.......Nova settings -> Home Screens -> last setting, uncheck "show shadow''

I'm not a developer or even close to one, but I messed around with some of the files from Smooth or something like that and was able to get a transparent notification bar and added an Android logo to it as well. It works with LP also. The only thing is that you have to hide the notification bar, then show it back to make it work. Not the greatest, but it worked for me. Needs to be flashed. Maybe someone can tweak it some more...

Do you think its possible just make the clear bar and thats it??
I was able to achieve the clear notification bar by using this link for the Super Circle battery mod. (I still can't post links so just google it.) The site is for the battery mod along with a few others, such as the clear notification bar. I had no hand in making the tool, or site, at all. The only problem for me is I too still have the black around the signal icon and a few others. I added the transparency to the icons but no luck. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the subject.

I installed the last Nightly of CyanogenMod, and there was an issue with the nav bar and status bar. In Android 4.4.2. and all of the screenshots I've seen of CM on Nexus 5s, I've never seen an issue with someone not having the transparent status bar and nav bar. Is there a way I can fix this, or do I need to install the Snapshot instead? Thanks.
Also, to install any ROMs, I've only booted into a custom recovery. I've never completely installed a custom recovery, as I had some problems with it not letting me mount to USB-OTG. If someone knows how to fix this too, please help.

Regarding the status bar, I really have no idea, but I have some experience with CM-based roms on a different device, and I would suggest that you look in the build.prop file and see if ro.config.low_ram is set to "true". If it is set that way, change it to "false". That may enable the parts of the framework that include the transparent status bar.

I meant to mention that besides it not being transparent, it had the normal 4.3 black background, however, the black background has a smaller margin and the icons at the top were at the VERY bottom of the margin on that box.

Are you using apex? I had this problem and icouldn't figure out why. turns out it was the CM11 Wallpapers. Try using a different wallpaper. It will be fully transparent. That fixed it for me anyway. Goodluck.

Ah, I see. I do not use Apex either, I freaking love GEL and will not get rid of it. When I get home, I'll reflash Cyanogen with the CM installer and I'll fix this. Thanks very much, buddy.
I got it all fixed now. I'm probably not keeping CM11, as I've found some ROMs on here that look really good.

Maybe it was their wallpaper selection.
Unfortunately, alot of the wallpapers on the selection are not big enough to crop well to the screen... That is why it looks like they aren't translucent
And the CM11 installer is, unfortunately one of the reasons for that as well, its made to work across multiple devices, including ones not with softkeys...
Without xposed, is there any way to mod statusbar? For example, center clock, add network speed indicators?
I used GravityBox on my other phones just for this purpose.
Thanks in advance!
Not at the moment if a developer takes on 3 minit settings we might get the option in the future if we don't get xposed.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S6
All I know is xposed framework can be installed on phones supporting up to sdk version 22. Our s6's are version 21, we should be able to manually flash the framework via recovery. Has anyone else tried? I would, but I'm officially a non-rooted user because I went ahead and updated my phone a few days ago.
I have some minor stuff. Colored clocks (not centered yet) and colored status bar icons.
3minit battery if you run a deodexed rom.
wow, nice!
I'm running Revolution....
I don't use a fraction of what xposed is meant for, all i want is centered clock, and network speeds in my status bar, haha

Hello!
So, I have a hard time believing I'm the only one who hate the last update from for the S8, which basically removes the option for a black Navbar, and transparent navbar on the home screen when using 3rd party launchers like Nova.
I've seen many people not minding, but as for my self I am beyond hating it atm.. I can't be the only one?
How to you people get around this? For me personally hiding the navbar is so annoying.. So not an option?
And Navbar Apps doens't work all the time?
I'm not sure if there is something you can do with substratum?
Please?

That is because Samsung is rolling the update to a certain amount of people at a time, you will get it eventually. And I can hide mine as well with Custom Navigation Bar, but I DON'T want it hidden.

I like it. Having the nav bar hidden while in apps is pretty cool. When my preceding phone had a pink tint I used the black nav bar for a while and it annoyed me because it visually chopped up the display. Different strokes I guess.

No,
navbar is not black, it's transparent.
The Samsung theme i use on device is
dark. Thus navbar looks black.
Look at my navbar configuration. (screenshots)
I choose an off white color. Then applied theme.
So on device (dialer, setting, homescreen etc)
it's transparent (when not hidden).
When i am on Play store, XDA etc it's the off white color.

Yes, it white, off white, pinkish , off pinkish etc.
Those colors you see is all you get.!
I'm sure Samsung had a good reason for this?
However on my device the off white is
only applied to other 3rd party apps. (off white)
Thus as stated before my device in general
is transparent. With dark Samsung theme it looks
black.
Plse note,
Just after O/S update, it showed originally all
over off white.
However after fiddling with
configuration and different color options,
Toggling navbar on off etc .
i found myself with transparent navbar.
Nb.
Your have to tap switch theme afterwards
If you don't then you navbar is off white in settings, etc

Yes, if you set it right in device /settings /display /navigation bar /.....
Choose/select ...color option and then tap the "apply current theme " switch .
You should have transparent navbar ( not hidden ) on homescreen /settings /dialer
Otherwise if you only select color and back out you will have white navbar etc on
device settings , dialer etc .
Note that on all 3rd party apps, its your selected white navbar .
According to me it's not such an big issues( navbar ) as some members make out to be .
good luck

Im not sure about this, so dont take my word for it. But something tells me that you can change the navigation bar with the System UI Tuner.
Keep me up to date about this matter!

Get substratum working first.
You'll need one of the many navigation bar themes to change the icons.
As for that animation, you'll need a lot more work (custom ROM, or flashable ,zip at the least)

I know the nav bar tuners you can add a blank button that takes up space. Straddle the home button with a pair of those and it would probably look better
I had Pixel navbar icons with proper animation done just through substratum on my stock non-rooted S8, so it should be possible to do here too. No need for custom rom or anything
I don't think you can get the home animation (the one with four dots) without a custom rom, but you can try custom navigation bar on play store, it works with and without root
