Guys I can't apply any custom themes, all of them got bug in the nav bar I wrote to Sony about this but no reply from them. What to do?
Set your dpi a little closer to stock to move the nav keys back to center with certain themes.
It's not a bug. I'm assuming you're using the emulated 4k via adb? Either set your dpi higher, or just go back to regular wm size.
Yeah I forgot about that ? but the small colored dots are gone when applying different themes the ones from home button

I have a Samsung Captivate. I am pretty tech savy so I have updated. It is running the newest X-Bean rom with the newest devil kernel. It is running silky smooth and looking beautiful. However, I wasn't a fan of the default 240 DPI the rom came with so, using build.prop app, I changed it to 182. Works great with my 5X5 Grid and Nova Launcher. One thing that is bugging me though, the status bar messages are cut off. The whole message won't show if their are multiple ones up. Instead, it will cut off the bottom of them. I am assuming this is the result of my DPI change.
Is there anyway to change the status bar to work with a higher resolution/lower DPI? I know some programs you have to clear the data app when you change the DPI for them to work correctly with the new DPI. Is this the same with the status bar?
Any Help would be appreciated.
Asking to see if it is possible for anybody out there to make at least the navigation bar transparent, maybe even the status bar, or have a really light transparent color in case of background image being the same color.. Or even adding an option too outline a different color of the software buttons themselves so that they can be seen on any background color.
By this I mean to have the transparency while browsing the web, and everything else, instead of just to look at my wallpaper which although I like it, makes no sense to me when the transparency goes away once I'm actually using the phone.
It would make things feel as if I really am using a nearly 5 inch screen.
Trying to get this for stock rooted, but I guess it always grows to make it over into other Roms once made for rooted, which is good.
I guess whoever agrees just add to this, or second it at least, and if this is at all possible staying on root, MAYBE someone good will actually do this.
But if not possible at all on stock root,, then I guess simply list a ROM closest to stock which is capable of it.
Why would you want it to be transparent when you are browsing the web? It would look very strange to see the background top and bottom while you are in your browser. I suppose you could do this if you wanted, I would suggest paranoid android and change the system ui, android os, launcher etc colors to transparent for the navigation part. I do not think PA is out yet for nexus 5 but that is the only route that I can think of.
Because I don't think it would look weird at all.. I think it would make me feel like I'm actually using a 5 inch screen.
I wish I could do it myself but I wouldn't even know where to start.
Here is an example of only the navigation bar without the black bar.
But also imagine the software buttons in whatever color and even an outline color so they wouldn't completely disappear with the white background.. Lol although I wouldn't even mind if they did as I already know where they are and never even look at them when using them.

PA only allows transparent navigation bar for the launcher. The status bar can be transparent for any app, though. You could do a transparent status bar with full screen + Pie to achieve the full screen transparency, but that of course gets rid of the nav bar completely.
And, as you mention, AOSPA isn't out yet for N5.

Your first solution with the outlines or whatever creates the same problem of covering up whatever you are doing, making it a frustrating full screen view that still requires scrolling to see the full content behind the nav buttons. Your second solution creates the major problem of accidentally hitting the nav buttons.
As I mentioned above, one solution for you is to go full screen + Pie. AOSPA isn't out, but CM has this feature, and there are apps that, with root, allow you to hide the nav bars and apps that enable Pie.
I use stock rooted and I use Ultimate Dynamic Navbar which allows this. Here is the link to the paid version which allows customization of the navbar such as transparency. The free version might also work for you because, although it is still a full black navbar, at least it hides away when not in use.

with "immersive mode" or whatever google calls it, hopefully apps will update to include this. this will automatically hide both notification and status bars until you do an swipe from the screen's edge.
and possibly, once custom ROMs become more....custom....they will have an always on "immersive mode" so even apps that weren't updated will still work. similar to expanded desktop, but a little easier to navigate around after it is toggled on.

thanks for the heads up. looks like this has pretty much everything i need in a ROM. I dont like the fact that the google dialer isn't there though (search function isn't working) but maybe i can get it on there.
I think having both transparent would look pretty good. You kinda get a sample of how it would be when you swipe to go to Google Now. It looks pretty slick in my opinion.

Immersive mode and transparent navbar are quite the opposite.
Transparent navbar is everywhere where scrolling content is displayed. It could be the default. I wonder if it is hard to achieve. The only web browsers that support is use the built-in webview, which is not great update wise.
Immersive mode is meant to lock the view in a single app. More for games, slideshows etc.
And the list doesn't grow. Is everyone only programming for Samsung, or does Google give the wrong example?
Hi everybody.
I've recently received my L02, and as usual, first thing I did was step down the display density to 380.
Now, I have to say EMUI handles this much better than Sense, but I have one thing that bugs me - the buttons on the navbar are not centered anymore, they're slightly moved to the left (like they're still centered on the original dp width of the bar).
Does anybody have a fix for this? I'll be looking in the framework apks, just thought maybe I can save myself some work.

Same problem here with my H60-L12.
Installed busybox and also tried to change the style with softkeyz.
Hi everyone,
I've got the E4g (sorry if I post here but it seems there isn't a thread for this phone in XDA, yet) and I've noticed the background color of the navigation bar (when no apps are opened) in the home page is black. It's not transparent as all officials Sony pictures show (e.g. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-e4g/ ) and/or various videos on youtube.
No special themes installed. Just the original blue.
In other sections like VIDEO/MUSIC/ALBUM (preinstalled apps) the navigation bar is transparent.
So the black color is "only" in the home page.
Moreover, I had the possibility to "play" also with another E4g, with the same Android version (and no root and various custom apps not installed), and the navigation bar was transparent...
If I'm not wrong, there shouldn't be any option in display configuration/personalization I can set in the menu in order to change the color.
If I try clearing data in xperia home app will I lose some setting I've already set?
The device is updated to the latest version 25.0.A.2.14 (Android 4.4.4) but this nav bar was black also before the update.
No rooted device.
Thanks and bye

Arc Lighting Navigation Bar is the most advanced custom navigationbar on the market, you can do everything from setting a custom icon from an icon pack of preset provided icons per button coloring it after your current wallpaper or app you use or move the buttons up and down both inside and outside of layers, you can apply a colored layer behind each button individually and you can curve each corner of that layer individually you can also set an outline around each layer invidually and you can curve each corner individually aswell this outline can ofcourse change color after your wallpaper or app you're using and you can ofcourse adjust transparency and color lightness as with all other layers, you can force a custom tapspace for each button individually if you feel it's too small for your finger just increase the space and it will be much easier to tap the button, you can set the each individual layer such as the navigationbar or preset icon to change color after the app you're using or after the wallpaper you have both on the homescreen and inside an app, if you prefer to have the wallpaper color even inside the app you're using you can do that too you can also adjust transparency and color lightness if you prefer a darker or lighter color, you can apply an outline to each colored layer individually you can also curve each corner of this outline individually as well as the layer itself, arc lighting custom navigationbar also features modes that you can create and delete as you wish, you can set a custom configuration for how the bar should look and behave inside an app you can set a custom configuration for how the bar should look and behave inside an app in landscape and in portrait, you can do the same on the homescreen both in landscape and in portrait, arc lighting navigationbar comes with various presets such as pc mode which is designed for mouse and keyboard use and a higher dpi setting simply edit only landscape with this mode and have a pc ui, only enable when in landscape, arc lighting navigationbar also features a lighting system that let's you make each button glow individually you can also adjust the glow or turn it off all together, you can have the home button and or back button and or recent apps button pulse when charging, you can use each button individually as a battery indicator and make them change color depending on your charge, you get all this and much more in the most advanced navigationbar app on the market, arc lighting navbarigationbar also comes with various system modes, if you want the best experience choose advanced mode or rootmode, download the simple to use enabler software to give your device the neccessary permissions for advanced mode so you don't have to mess with adb, if you don't want to do this simply choose simple mode this is slightly more limited than advanced more as it will run ontop of your current navigationbar and it doesn't support transparency.
Features:
- Advanced color system with multiple layers of colors that can be enabled or disabled with adjustable transparency or color lightness and or change depending on wallpaper or app.
- Tap Space customization to adjust how big or small you want the Tap Space to be (smaller is better for a mouse and bigger is better for a finger)
- Movement system for each icon to move icons up and down or side to side both inside a layer or with the layer
- Full support for icon packs per icon and preset white or wallpaper/app colored icons with support for glow and lighting indicators
- Lighting system for each individual icon for notifications and various indicators
- PC mode preset for mouse and keyboard use (try to create Windows XP)
- Modes system that lets you set how the bar behaves in landscape and or portrait in-app and or the home screen by default you edit all so uncheck edit all variants to edit individually
(note to galaxy users set samsung navigatiomode to gesturemode then go into arc lighting and move the buttons up vertically as they are outside of view using gesture mode will make the bar much thinner than normal, force navbar color to black then change the buttons to a line and push them to the edge, this will hide the chin by causing an illusion of the button being closer to the edge than it actually is, the upside to this is that you both get gesturebased navigation and tapbased, by forcing button size it's also relatively easy to hit the buttons)(note to galaxy note 10 users set samsung navigatiomode to gesturemode then go into arc lighting and move the buttons up vertically as they are outside of view using gesture mode will make the bar much thinner than normal, force navbar color to black then change the buttons to a line and push them to the edge, this will hide the chin by causing an illusion of the button being closer to the edge than it actually is, the upside to this is that you both get gesturebased navigation and tapbased, by forcing button size it's also relatively easy to hit the buttons)

theres a simple enable disable button, since simple mode is the only mode that works on samsung phones you simply disable it and have the original navbar under
