Status Bar Color and Invisibile icons - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi,
I've a XTRONS PX5 pb78qsfp-s (Android 8).
I've a problem with the status bar and the navigation icons. These icons are white.
See this picture :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I use some Apps (like Google Chrome) that changes the status bar color these icons becomes invisible (white on white) :
because we have a white background and a white "font" color.
There is a solution for this issue ?
I tried the app : Status Bar & Notch Custom Colors and Backgrounds The app works, but i have to open it at every boot-up because the app's "autostart funcion" doesn't work (the autostart option is checked but the app doesn't start at boot).
Thank you,
Salvo

Did you end up finding a solution to this? It really annoys me too.

Yes, I used Tasker + Status Bar & Notch Custom Colors and Backgrounds. I set Tasker to send an intent to the APP (com.fragments.notch.status_bar.StatusService) when "Open Chrome, Open Gmail and Open Maps".
You can simplify and you can send the intent on boot-up.
But in order to allow Tasker to call Status Bar App i edited the manifest of the app.
<service
android:name="com.fragments.notch.status_bar.StatusService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false" <--- THIS
androidrocess=":statusBarProcess"/>
to
<service
android:name="com.fragments.notch.status_bar.StatusService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
androidrocess=":statusBarProcess"/>
This is the APK patched : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QXZdO2Ehb8UqR9f_5PKLCW_ep6WF30Tp

[Modding] Help with transparent notification bar + theme preview

I try to make my theme but I have a problem.
I want the notification background transparent but I don't know how to modify it.
I try different way but not success.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)
that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped
Have anybody get the status_bar_background.png transparent on FroYo ROMS?
Ok.
So the problem is froyo

i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency
Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703
Thanks Britoso.
Now I have the theme with transparent.
Now I have to fix the bar "Notification" because are also trasparent.
Also I have to investigate why It have some crash when I use metamorth for apply theme.
edit.
perfect all I want.
I have only investigate for crash when using metamorph.
Thx britoso from that other thread and xuedoxus for the app
finally got it working on my theme(frf91)
pretty cool theme!

Is possible to modify "website error" dialog?

Hi!
I'm not sure if this is the correct place where to ask this, but at least Subforum name rings a bell for me.
I've recently installed "AdAway" on my "Huawei U8350" (Android 2.2.2) in order to block ads on websites.
Since this application doesn't work as "AdBlock Plus" does for "Mozilla Firefox" (hiding blocked elements, etc), the places where ads were used to be displayed have been replaced with a "website error" dialog, telling me that these sites couldn't be loaded.
Here's an example (taken from "Dolphin Browser":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In some cases, these dialogs are pretty long, and sometimes they change the visible area on websites, so, their layout is affected (height gets increased):
Since my phone's Display is quite small, I'd like to know if there's a way to change/customize these dialogs in order to gain working areas.
I'd like to know if were possible to modify these dialogs to something like these (being C my favorite):
I could see that inside "framework-res.apk" (assets folder) there's the "upside down Android" image under the name "android-weberror.png".
The problem is that I don't know where the dialog text could be located at (or if it is located inside Dolphin Browser apk files).
I've to add that I couldn't find any "SystemUI.apk" file; it has "framework-res.apk" only (as I've read, it seems to be usual, since it's still a Froyo, but I could've been searching on the wrong path).
I hope that someone could guide me to complete this little mission, by providing me of necessary info and help.
Thanks in advance!!
Framework-res.apk file
/res/raw(-locale) has the html file
/res/values/strings.xml has the texts depending on the error:
<string name="httpErrorUnsupportedAuthScheme">The site authentication scheme is not supported.</string> for example
This is the syntaxis (string name="httpErrorxxxxxxxxx")
Thank you so much!
I've been able to edit "loaderror" and "nodomain" files from "raw" folder.
This is what I did for "nodomain":
Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
<title>Site Unavailable</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }
</style>
<body>
<p><img src="file:///android_asset/webkit/android-weberror.png"></p>
</body>
</head>
</html>
I hid URLs inside that upside down Android image, making it like a link object.
I haven't changed anything from "strings.XML" yet (probably unnecessary for now).
However, ads areas (height/width specified by website itself) are still there, but all has been replaced by that upside down Android only
Thanks again for your help Browser's visible area looks cleaner now!

It would be nice if you try it out. I would like to receive feedbacks, suggestions and bug reports.
Thank you!
UP.
Cool app. Have you considers adding a time option?
E.g. 12/05/2013 15:45
Also a little thing I noticed is that when you edit an entry and just change the icon it does not recognise the change. I had to toggle the date to make the OK Burton active.
Also maybe in a future version, add option to select from a wider choice of icons or a custom icon of the users choice would be nice IMHO. :thumbup::thumbup:

Nice app.... a countdown timer will be great too.

Hiding the unread msgs in notification bar

Hello all,
I generally use applock to lock all my messaging related apps & few others too.
But how do I hide the messages in the notification bar drop down list? Locked or unlocked, we can see a great deal of unread messages in the notification drop down list.
Any help to hide it will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Narender Reddy

There should be a button like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that removes everything that can be removed in the notification bar.
but if the messages keep poping up, check the app that is creating them, sometimes they have an option to lower the frequency or to disable at all the notifications.
The Xposed Module NotifyClean might be what you seek.

No, if the mobile is with you then its not a problem.
But what if you give your mobile to a friend by locking using Applock & ppl msg u in whatsapp or messaging & everything pops up in the notification drop down list. What to do then to hide them all?
I want the notifications, its not that.
But I want it to say "XYZ has messaged you" or "XYZ has messaged you in whatsapp"
But not the content of the message for people to look, even when my apps are locked down & couldn't be opened.
& about the xposed installer, it requires root. Is there any mod or any app that hides the message content on unrooted mobiles?

[THEME][SUBSTRATUM] Extras For AA - Personalize look of Android Auto

Are you bored of Android Auto UI? You can't stand the fact that on your car you have two clocks on the screen? Do you want to personalize your look of Android Auto tweaking the UI to your likings?
If yes is the answer to any of the questions above, you are in the right place!
Introducing my second Substratum Theme about Android Auto!
Extras For AA + Wallpapers For AA = :highfive:
Have you checked out my first substratum theme that changes Android Auto's default background? What are you waiting for? Get Wallpapers For Android Auto now and tweak Android Auto even more!
​
[/B]
In order to fully apply all the modifications, be sure to apply this theme on Substratum Lite
Don't know what the heck is substratum? Here's the official starting guide​
Here's a preview of what this theme can do:
One button mode
Two buttons mode
L+N = Launcher + Notifications
L+Q = Launcher + Quick access app
Three buttons mode
Others:
Tweak dimensions of bottom bar and status bar
Hide Status Bar
Make heads up notifications smaller and/or translucent
Hide totally bottom bar
​
Known bugs:
Overlays built stays pink on Substratum Lite after reboot
Workaround: please build & install an overlay with just the custom colours and then pick another extra.
[*]Applying black icons to bottom widget will result in a tiny rectangle around the icon
I have no clue on why this happens and whether it's fixable
[*]Gradient won't apply
Woraround: if you choose a gradient, also pick the extra to apply the gradient to what you want to theme at the same time and build & install. This should fix the gradient being not visible
Also, you might want to play around with the priorities tab in Substratum Lite. If you want gradient bottom bar, put it at the very bottom.
Also please note that an Android Auto update might break the theme. So if you update Android Auto, be sure to disable theme first, or it might be unusable
Download on Xda Labs!

Hello @shmykelsa it might be possible that he will resume development for new versions of AA. Many people need your services as a programmer. Thank you.
