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

I have a thread under themes and apps.
I'm trying to get a centered clock but to really do it the right way is giving me problems.

Hey there! I know It's not a really important thing but just wondering about it.. if you look at the Z5 pictures online and on the box (the white version) you'll see the navigation bar icons (home, back, recents) and the status bar icons are black when the white theme is applied. It's not like that when you actually use the phone. They're normally white. is there an actual way (without a serious modification) to make them like that?
Check the picture:

False advertising. Xperia Home doesn't have that option.
You can make it look like that by using Nova, but stock? No.
Oh wow lol @Syberyon thanks anyway

I've been using Nova forever and I've never seen it have this option. All I've ever seen is either making the status bar transparent or not on the home screen. Where would you find the option to customize it like that? Thanks in advance!

Oh, I see. I'll have to try it on my old phone though since this one doesn't actually have on-screen buttons (if it affects that as well). Seems a bit different and not as flexible as I imagined (I wasn't really going to use it anyway - was just curious). In any case, thanks!
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?

Just one point,

is transparent (not hidden) Everywhere
on phone dialer , settings etc. it's transparent not hidden.

"removes the option for a black Navbar, and transparent navbar on the home screen when using 3rd party launchers like Nova."
Yes, when I'm on Play store, XDA etc it's
white.
Look at my photos.

Hmm, I've just seen so many say that when using Nova their navbar is not transparent on the homescreen..
But that is great then.
As for the photos you attached, the navbar is black on both, how did you do that?

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

The way i see it.
You either accept it and get use to it. Move on
or stay behind.? (O/s wise.)
I'm sure Samsung will change it later again.
For me, It does not worry me at all.
As long as my desktop navbar color
fits my wallpaper /theme.. I'm ok with it
Good luck

I agree with you. And I guess I will eventually have to take the update, atm I'm trying to get used to hiding the navbar..
But you said that on the homescreen (EVEN with nova launcher) it would be transparent right?

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
SystemUI tuner won't work to hide the status bar. does anyone know any method to hide the status bar via a magisk module or anything else?
You can auto-hide the navigation icons from within Settings, but I think you would need the Global theme app rather that the limited CN theme app to make most changes to the status bar. If you do experiment with the Global themes app, change your region to India because Xiaomi restricts most Themes functions by region and India enjoys the most extensive theme options.

you can only hide the nav bar in the stock launcher from my experience. I found a magisk module that hides the nav bar though. I want the status bar to be gone in every app, hidden away only available to be pulled down only if you need to see it. i've found many threads all over without a way to do it in the newer android versions thus far

I think I can create magisk module to change status bar size to 0px (= hide completely), but then you can't pull down it since the size is 0 and there's no area to touch.

that sounds awesome to me. if the size is 0 - couldn't we still use a custom gesture to pull it down even if we can't see it at all? that would be amazing as I use custom gestures like this already.

thanks so much, this is awesome. right now it just hides where the status bar was so that it leaves a blank space where the bar was. is there any way for the full screen to fill up this space? either way I am using this and thank you for trying.
also, have you had any luck getting ok google to work with the screen off?
just sent you a donation as well, thanks so much
Edit this is perfect when unfolded it takes up the full screen all the time
