the statusbar is always on top
even while using any apps, playing games or watching videos
is there an option to turn the statusbar to always on?

if you are on stock you just have to pull down twice to get the status bar
i think gravitybox can do what you need though

I am using Sky's ICS for the Skyrocket SG2. Ive flashed the latest update for the ROM and have a second, what seems to be, a status bar underneath the regular status bar, with just a battery icon. I can't seem to find whatever program is running that app to turn it off. Anyone know what or how to shut off that status bar?
Its battery status bar. TO remove it dload the battery bar.apk and you can remove it using the app.

I installed the battery bar.apk and went into the app. All it had was to hide the white battery bar at the top. I went through all the settings in the app and can't seem to find an option to remove the battery status bar =\.
it s the first option on the app where it says show battery bar just uncheck the box.

Yah that The "show battery bar" check box just hides the white bar at the very top of my phone. I'd post a picture but the forum won't let me =\. But yah its a battery bar UNDER the regular status bar.
So you got rid of it rite and the solution worked if it did hit that thnx button it helps to know someone appreciate the info.

Uh no it didn't fix the problem. I think there is a slight miscommunication somewhere here. I am having issues with the battery under my original status bar. It doesn't seem to be related with the battery bar mod. The battery bar mod seems to control the white bar up top which I already knew how to alter. It's this one that is right under my regular status bar. I'd post a pic but it requires that I not suck and have more than 8 post lol.
What is the problem with that battery icon?

I want it to go away. It's kinda redundant. I have the circle battery already I don't need a second battery icon underneath is =\
if your using sky ics rom with ics launcher then go hit menu then launcher settings then launcher status bar settings and uncheck show status bar (launcher)
Should take care of it.
OMG thank you! that fixed it! +1 thanks really appreciate it

Are you talking about having the battery percentage with the icon on the status bar? Stock Android (and in this case mostly stock) doesn't have that option. You can use what I use, power toggles, to have it pinned on the left side of the status bar. Not the greatest set up but for now it's all we got. Another reason why I really hope we see an unlocked boot loader so we can get some roms that will have this feature. :good:
Or you can two finger swipe down on the notification bar and it will show your percentage

Yes, that's what I was talking about... I added power toggles and put up top. Thanks
Is there any way to have a 100% empty status bar,no signal bars of any kind?I am looking for a way do it.I can't seem to kind a way with using immersive mode,which I don't want.I looked for a xposed module and didn't find any.Thanks in advance.

Just to be clear, why would you rather have a status bar with no status icons instead of simply no status bar at all?

Personal preference. I want a change.I like immersive mode with pie.It's just not what I want to be honest.I would like it empty and to use a widget to relay the info that would show up.(I.e WiFi signal carrier signal clock )

Sorry, I get the "clean look" idea. I just don't understand what the difference is to you to have a clean status bar vs no status bar... I don't see why you would want the former not the latter. Or would completely hiding the status bar be an option too?

I would "hide it".I've never really been a widget person,so I'd like to try something new and use a widget to give me all the info normally displayed in the status bar,but I don't want to use something that takes away the keys I added and colored. Any thoughts?

Widget is only good if you're in the launcher. What about in apps? Some custom laucnhers can hide status bar when you're in launcher (homescreen etc) but then not when in apps. How would that suit?

I'm one of the small niche groups that actually really G.N.L.I like the functionality of swiping to my left for my cards.I think I had a ROM on my gnex that I was able to hide icons than make status bar transparent.I'll check out a few custom ROMs and see what I can come up with.If not I'll make my own build to suit my needs.won't be the 1st time...thanks for the feed back I was just looking for the cheap way out.

Use the xposed module gravity box. And use the display setting called immersive status bar. It'll hide the status bar while keeping your navigation bar. You can keep your colored nav keys, not see the status bar, and you won't have to use pie. If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what you want?

Thanks buddy,apparently I missed that set of options in G.B.That's what I was looking for.
Is there any way to make the Navigation bar Black. I have tried substratum themes like swiftblack, pitchblack.. etc but couldnt get it themed. I have also tried xposed module (BlackNavigationBarfor 5t) which does work but it makes the recents kill button vanish.
Thanks.

I'm using "Navbar Apps", works quiet well, but doesn't do the job flawlessly. From time to time you'll get the white navbar.

Yes, most of the time. When typing in fb messenger, it struggles often.
BlackNavigationBar 1.0.7 Xposed module supports OP6 and works.....

Ur too noob maybe. When the keyboard pops up it goes white and at many instances.
"BlackNavigationBar 1.0.7" Xposed module is only thing that helped me to make this damn navbar to be always black and "gravitybox" helped to make those damn buttons black as well. Only unfortunately gravitybox does not have an option to make buttons to be transparent.
I do not understand why is it so difficult for google to make proper black theme with white text and icons. As well Oneplus is struggling to make the same damn thing.
In order to just get a simple the same interface from device to device I am always have to use multiple third party software.
I have not tried on OP6 but the following commands worked on my Samsung S8+. It should also work on OP6.
Command: adb shell
Command :settings put global navigationbar_color -16449536 (2 spaces after the word color)
Command: settings put global navigationbar_current_color -16449536 (2 spaces after color)

Did you try the settings on the OP6 yet, and if so did you try them on PIE?
they did not work for me.

Sorry, I did not as I use Gestures along with Nova launcher. Have not felt the necessity to go back to a true navigation bar. Also the commands I mentioned were for Oreo.
Try nacho notch on play store. It works really well. If you don't want it to affect your status bar just set its height at 0. (To change settings long press on the quick settings icon)

That's very generic. Please be specific as to what you mean by "app's settings." I want to make the nav bar black under one global setting not fish around on a per application basis. For example the play store, gmail, chome and firefox the nav bar changes color I want it to remain black at all times.

It has an option called "Black-Out Navigation Bar" which does nothing when enabled... I even rebooted the phone... The irony here is while running nacho notch the nav bar remains white.
Edit: pic added.
This is on Oxygen 9.0.2

When I have more than one notificacion, it appear "..." instead of the icons. Eventhough there is plenty of space left.
I guess this is because of the SO is thinking on devices with Notch..
Is there a way to avoid this? So the rest of the notification bar can be filled?
