No, we can't! I tried! I went back to the previous version 5.2! These navegation bars on screen really makes me nervous! Burn-in is a matter of time! I honestly did not like their response!

Any launcher able to do this anymore?

Does this mean that we can't have a transparent navigation bar too?

mine just auto updated when I was reading this thread. lol ..
how can you switch back to 5.2 ? I downloaded from apkmirror but cannot install. need to uninstall first?
I can see that when in nova/home, the dot for show/hide navbar is gone, and navbar will always show.
but in other apps, it will follow hide/show setting and dot is there.

There's 2 ways
Native settings in display, and finding a theme that does transparent bars

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime 5.3 too and my navbar is still transparent on homescreen.
In addition i can hide navbar too with the dots, so i don't know what's your problem at all.
Its working like all the time before.

It's transparent but there isn't any point to hide.
I don't hide that anyway so no problem for me

You have to activate the point in navbar settings first.. i have the point and hide is working fine..
EDIT: okay, you're right, point is only visible in apps and settings, not on homescreen itself.
Good that i don't need it

The dot is working in the apps, but not in the homescreen anymore. Just updated Nova.

Suggest you *ALL* contact the dev, and leave negative reviews on the app store or youll be stuck with it like that forever. It is sheer stupidity. Most people use nova for the customisation, removing the ability to do this is pretty stupid.

2 other ideas
1, does anyone know a transparent dark theme that would take care of this problem
2, any other launcher with this much power that would keep doing this

Can use adb to hide navbar even in nova launcher.

Send me a print of your home screen please!

Guys we are talking about the navbar on home screen, okay? I see that it works in apps and settings! Yes. I know the navbar can be transparent. But the discussion is not about it! Burn-in is alive and I want to avoid the problem!

Thanks dever. pls add some function like "show status bar on screen off, hide status bar on screen unlock..." and add widget to control status bar show/hide. thanks.
would be awesome if it can be hidden for the lockscreen only on jb :laugh:
Tried this but gives me a reboot after like a minute. Even the pro does. Maybe it conflicts with my settings and all. But great apps. Im using the gesture control, too bad cant use the hide bar thingy...
Good job! Works like a charm on Motorola RAZR xt910 ICS 4.0.4.
Please add 'exit' button when I run app and when bar is hidden there are no way to go to homescreen when I using tablet mode on Lapdock.
+1 to widget control and restore bar when screen off.
Thanks

I'm using the paid version of gesture control, and I love it. One think I'd like: replacing the Launchpad with a "recent tasks" window. Right now my launchpad consists of a single button to the task switcher, but I'm lazy and I'd like to have one action less to get there..

This application is pretty similar to HideBar (http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/), an application that has been in development for over a year. It contains an intuitive user interface to hide/show the systembar.
I find the development of customizing tools like GMD very good. But as a developer you should not use the same name. This only leads to confusion for existing users.

This was not intended and happened just because title is kind of generic. Since there is no perfect solution for ICS yet without modding, it is good that alternatives are appearing so everyone can pick solution that works best for them.

Chronus on cm 10.1

On cm 10.1 and chronus widget doesn't work. Can't figure it out. Clock works but weather doesn't
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
What doesn't work? If it is not showing, you need to drag the widget window to a bigger size. If it is something else, please specify.

Well I may be slow because that worked on my home screen but not on my lock screen. The weather is not showing
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you are at the lock screen, try swiping down the screen, starting at the clock in the middle. It should slide out the weather. It is by design. At lock, the widget area starts minimized everytime. You can swipe it open, just like swiping open the notification area.
Hope that helps!

I got it working. Thanks for your help. I had to put it on another screen and it worked fine just moved it over and deleted the other one. Weird or my fault oh well working now.

Hmm I'm having the same issue you had. I can't see weather. Tried moving it to another screen and swiping the widget down but nothing. What did you do?

Nvm! I didn't realize I had to turn it on in system setting.. Looks great, thanks Cm team :good:
I'm loving Chronus, especially on the lockscreen . For the record, to get it on the main lockscreen page, you hold the clock icon on the lockscreen and remove it like the standard homescreen widgets, and then press the add button, and select Chronus.
Chronus has been cherry picked to AOKP. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put the weather widget on my screen (not lock screen), the clock is fine. I've searched high and low, I wonder if it's broken for the rom.

Go into the Chronus settings and enable the weather features there, it will automatically add the weather data below the clock then. Also, make sure you have expanded the widget box to make enough room for the extra info to show!

[HIDDEN MENU] 5 lockscreen Shortcuts

Hi all,
i know that it gives a thread about the Hidden Torch menu, so i thought i test a little bit for some others.
I tested a lot with the shortcut Maker and found a link to a Setting Menu where u can set 5 App Shortcuts direct to the lockscreen like in other FWs befor.
the string is under Settings:
com.android.settings/com.android.settings.lockscreenshortcut.LockScreen SchortcutSettings
In this Menu u can manage 5 Apps which u want on the bottom of the lockscreen. This functionwas given in other FWs before, so i thought someone will use it when he knows that it is given in the FW now
Isnt this already in the firmware.. it is already enenbled on tmo s4

Didnt found it in the FW i use in the moment. I can only put the Apss one the second Screen one the left or right when ur on the lockscreen in wipe from the right to the left.

Ok this part of the Menu is missing in my FW DBT.
So i think the DBT is the problem that this menu point is missing, in the past it was missing to in other FWs for Galaxy S2 DBT versions.
i have it from day one in every firm i tried

Then is the question "why is this menu missing in the DBT XXUBMF8 SuperSlim?" I think not that it is missing cause an app was removed, cause thats are system Settings which are not handeled over an app.
And i heard that im not the only one where this menu is missing, its a little bit strange...
I have DBT too and mine is also missing, kinda annoying...
maybe because i have 9500 ?

U must get a app like QuickShortCutMaker
In this app u must search under Settings for this point:
com.android.settings
/com.android.settings.lockscreenshortcut.LockScreenSchortcutSettings
thats the menu you need.

This worked! I had these same problems with a number of DBM firmwares, this worked perfectly on first official 4.3 release.
Thank you very much.
@OP
I thought the shortcut options for the lockscreen (in the standard lockscreen settings menu) were varied depending on the type of unlock method you used. If you only unlock by swiping, you had more widget/shortcut options available, but if you had a tighter lockscreen security then you don't have so many options.
I use a pattern unlock and the options disappear for me because of my unlock method.
I'll try your guide and see if I can add shortcuts without changing my lockscreen security type.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I tried the shortcut you posted, it does bring up that settings screen regardless of what type of lockscreen you're using, but with my pattern lockscreen it still doesn't show the shortcuts on there. When I set my lockscreen type to swipe, the app shortcuts appear on the lockscreen, and so does the menu option in the standard settings menu to select/change the apps, as per your shortcut to this screen.

[MOD][9/29] Replace Menu Key with Recent Apps, Long Press Home for Menu

Hi guys, thanks to the invaluable help of users Wesley32 and jug6ernaut, I've managed to port my Recent Apps key mod to the AT&T version of the G2. See the original verizon thread for details. In short, it replaces the Menu Key with Recent Apps, and allows you to Long Press on home to pull up the menu.
To install, flash ATT_RecentAppsKeyMod_v0.2.zip using TWRP.
Update 10/1
I've merged this with burningmember's no-carrier, no-brightness and no-volume slider mod from this thread
Here's the version with the black status bar: ATT_RecentAppsKey-NoVolume-NoBrightness-BlackBar.zip
And with the stock gray status bar: ATT_RecentAppsKey-NoVolume-NoBrightness.zip
I've also included a mod that will force apps to display the "vertical ellipsis" Action Bar overflow menu. To install it, flash ATT_EnableActionBarOverflowMenu_v0.2.zip. Be aware that enabling the overflow menu will put a big ugly menu button at the bottom of any activity that has a menu but doesn't have an action bar, including the built-in Settings and Phone apps.
Please note that you need to flash both ATT_EnableActionBarOverflowMenu_v0.2.zip and one of the SystemUI mods if you want the Recent Apps key mod and the overflow menu. The overflow menu mod will work by itself also, if you don't care about changing the nav bar.
*** Reverting ***
If you decide this isn't for you, flash ATT_RevertSefnapMods.zip, which will restore the stock versions of all affected files, namely:
Code:
/system/app/LGSystemUI.apk
/system/app/LGSystemUI.odex
/system/framework/android.policy.odex
/system/framework/framework.odex
Please let me know if anything is broken or if you have any problems installing.
Thanks, and enjoy!
I'm assuming this will replace the navbar size mod so could you make versions in the same sizes? I really like freeing up some space with the medium size. This is awesome though I will definitely flash this over the size mod. Just something I was wondering. Thank you for this, man. Awesome work.
Edit: just flashed and the size mod is still applied. Awesome work. This is great. Thank you so much. My status bar mod, however reverted back to stock. Any idea how I could get them working together? I was using the black status bar w/ sliders mod for at&t.

Well that's the last time you can use that excuse . Great mod, been checking your other thread waiting for this to show up. I'm with the other guys on the requests, basically centerclock w/o amm, No carrier, and battery percent. Not that I am even requesting this. That in my OPINION would complete this mod. Great work by the way.

depends entirely on what CleanRom is based on. If it is based on the Att rom, then it should.

Is this compatible with the Canadian D803 as well?
Anyone got a screenshot what the version with the black status bar looks like?
Also this is flashable over the stock odexed ROM, right?
Not sure about the other mods, but flashing the on-screen overflow menu action bar will soft brick the D803.
Don't flash for d800, your phone won't get passed the boot screen.
My recommendation for replacing the Menu button by Recent Apps is to use the Xposed framework. I was able to do it with the G2 TweaksBox module 2.0 RC3.

problem with ui. please help

i don't know what happened. but the transparency if the navigation buttons-back,home,and the recent app button completely black totally opaque now. i downloaded the nova launcher that might have done this. i immediately uninstalled though after seeing this.
