Status/Notification Bar Disappears and reappears often.... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

My status bar keeps disappearing and reappearing for some strange reason. It's a rolling motion. Anyone know why this happens?
I have xposed installed and nova launcher.
Thanks

Nova Settings / Look & feel / Notification Bar - make sure that Show Notification Bar is toggled to on. If that doesn't resolve the issue I would say check any of your exposed modules that might effect your status bar. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I figured it might be a faulty module.

Quick temp fix for frozen status bar

It's a 4.2.2 problem.
Instead of a reboot just switch theme then back.
Or
Change your quick tiles settings and that restarts the bar.
Much faster than rebooting. Its not a ROM specific problem guys!

Empty status bar

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?

How to get status and navigation bar transparent with gravity box?

Hello,
I've tried to find how to make the status and navigation bar transparent with gravity box on Nexus 5 but every post on the Internet shows something like "transparency management" in Gravity box but this option seems to be non-existent.
Any ideas?

Status bar and Nav bar transparency is determined by the app. Most launchers have it implemented and a small number of other apps do. There's an Xposed module to force transparency on apps but it's buggy as apps that weren't designed with transparent bars in mind would have elements drawn behind the bars rather than leaving it as space for them.

The term "transparency management" was removed after KK I think.
Go to GravityBox -> Display tweaks -> Enable Translucent decor at the bottom. Reboot.

I believe what that does is always force transparent status and nav bars on the Recent Apps screen (and maybe elsewhere, I never noticed it anywhere else). In AOSP (also stock ROM), if you're in an app that doesn't support transparent status/nav bars then tap on recent apps, it won't fade away the bars to transparency. Vice versa, if you're in an app that supports it (most common being launcher), tapping on recent apps will keep the bars transparent.
Most custom ROMs have worked around it so going to recent apps will ALWAYS fade the bars to transparency regardless if the app you were in had them transparent or not. That option in GravityBox does the same thing.
Try disabling that option in GravityBox and you'll see.

Actually, not for mine. When the option is enabled, recent apps screen displays black bars even if the app supports transparency weirdly enough. I never used the transparency option in gravitybox in the first place, so I'm more than happy to stick with the system default.

Nav Bar

Since a couple of OTAs ago the customization of the nav bar has changed. I pretty much just want it to be black in all apps. There was an app "Nav Bar Apps" that did this but now it doesn't work like it used to. An example is in Nova Launcher the nav bar is always white, also in Swiftkey it's white. Any ideas?
I am looking for same thing. Black Nav bar and option to selective enable pin for all and individual apps

If you want the black nav bar back just use this theme from XDA. No need to void your warranty. Also there is Substratum for Samsung devices.

If you are familiar with ADB commands, this works perfectly for me without the root.

I've been messing with substratum and somehow my nav bar ended up like the pixel. When I try to change it to something else, when I press home button it still shows pixel icon. I tried to remove all layers and uninstall subtratum app but the pixel nav bar remained. Is there a way to get back to stock nav bar without having to reset phone. I also installed custom nav bar app and now the spacing between buttons is smaller I think.

You'll have to uninstall the substratum theme. Settings> apps > your theme. I'm using swift dark and there are around 20 layers to uninstall.
Alright so I got the stock nav buttons back... Is there a way to get the right dimensions? I used the custom navbar app and made it more compact than it was.

Do you still have the app? Did you make a backup of the original? If you didn't make a backup you should be able to use the app to remedy your situation.
yeah not sure how to get it back to the right layout. Everything is scrunched to the center.
edit: figured it out, had to purchase app to get custom layout
now get systemui error every time I rotate to landscape. Just gonna reset my phone I guess.

Dark Navigation Bar

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.

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.

This is on Oxygen 9.0.2
