Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638659

if youre still using sense, just do a color invert in the statusbar png so it'll be white and then start making it transparent. that looks like its at a pretty high amount of transparency. if youre using CM6, it should be as easy as copy and paste from that framework to yours.

how do you make it transparent
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I can get the status bar to be transparent on most apps. My problem really is on my calendar. It is showing up with a "USB Debugging" every single time. I have attached photos to show you guys what I see. I have also included the png's I am using to get the statusbar transparent.
PS. They are located in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi-v4.
Let me know how everyone elses looks. Any help to get this fixed for everyone is greatly appreciated.

I'd love to see the Glass status bar that turns black when entering an app

[REQ] Inverse Notification Icon Color (Black Status Bar)

I was wondering if there is a way to reverse icon colors in the status bar. I just downloaded a black status bar and a lot of the icons blend into the black bar (if that makes sense).
If anyone can help me out, thanks. I don't know anything at all about coding and very little about the root process, so a Metamorph option would be the easiest way for me, although I can figure out theming.

I saw those. I wasn't quite sure if it changes the Messaging, Gmail, Voice and other icons since all I see is the USB and USB Tethering icons. Do you know if those are changed?

Haven´t checked that...best, open file and have a look before you morph.

Wow that is a great idea. I never thought of that haha (still brand new to this stuff). Well, unfortunately it doesn't have icons for Messaging, Gmail and a few others. Thanks for the idea though. Now I know I can check.
Any other ideas?

Anyone know of anything else to do?

Shameless bump because I really want this.

There is a desire morph around somewhere, locate the files or images you want and I can make a morph, just need to know what rom and icons.

Also bumping. Now that CM has theming, I think someone should have one out.

Use ninja morph and inverse the images u want in framework-res.apk ...really easy

I checked out ninja morph. You're right, it does exactly what you said...EXCEPT you have to modify every icon individually, which ends up being an enormous pain.
Also, I could have missed something but how do you inverse icons directly on the phone? I looked around and still couldnt find anything. Ended up transfering them to the pc and editing them from there.
In the end, I'm just amazed that android doesn't have a unified icon / theming system yet. To edit messages, you have to go in to mms.apk (took me forever to figure that one out), to edit gmail you have to look in gmail.apk, system icons were in framework, etc. What a pain.

Possible to remove cm theme from specific apps?

I installed transparent theme for cm13 on Nexus 7 LTE. It looks cool, but sometimes google keyboard becomes totally transparent, and it's really hard to type according to the background.
Is there any way to remove theming from a particular app like Google keyboard? I googled about it to find someone said yes, but there was no how-to, so I got stuck here...
Any help would be appreciated!

Sold my iPhone X and got an Pixel 2 XL

Hi
As the title says, I sold my iPhone X and got the new Pixel 2 XL, and I love it. It is truly amazing. But how ever.. There is some features that I miss. - Sinces android is like an open world compared to Apple I do hope some of you might know how to solve my "problems"
Here they are:
1. Are you able to get rid on the Navigations bar at the bottom AND get the iPhone swipe gestue? Left for back, Right for forward and Up for homescreen, and while on homescreen up will go into the menu (where all my apps are listed)? And also while the keybord still working perfectly in every app when the Navigation bar is hidden? Is that possible? With my iPhone X I could switch between apps while draggin left of right on the bottom at my screen, and also if i swipe up and hold a bit, all my open apps where listed. Is that possible to get on Pixel 2?
2. I've heard alot about burn in. At the moment I am using an Live wallpaper default by Google. (The earth spinning around). Its black - does that have any effect on burn in, or is it only white colour I have to be careful of?
3. On my iPhone I could see my notifications on my apps. (A lille red number), my Pixel 2 doesnt show this, am I able to see that? For Facebook, messenger ect.
This is my first android, so bar with me and my stupidly questions lol
Thanks for your time

For me, it's kind of hard to understand exactly what you are talking about since I don't use my iPhone that often. But I'll play around to see if I can answer #1. But burn in I wouldn't worry about unless you get it. Then return the phone for a free replacement if it happens. I think that issue has been resolved for the most part. That you might want to visit the XL forum for and I'll link that for you below.
#3. I believe they are called "badges" on the iPhone. It is a very nice feature which we don't have on a stock system. I think there are some third party apps in the play store for that but you can search under notify apps or something like that. Maybe even Google can help out on that. I did see some references to it and there is something called Nofityer Unread Count app but I've not tried it.
Here ya go, but do a search on screen burn in before you ask. People get a little touchy around here sometimes if it's been answered dozens of times.

1. If you root your phone, there are ways to remove the navbars... and if you use a custom launcher (such as Nova Launcher), you can set gestures on the home screen. As for systemwide gestures... you would need a gesture app such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
Perhaps ask around here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/70jkag/android_launcher_with_iphone_x_like_gestures/
2. Personally never had an issue although I am using Pixel 2.
3. If you use Nova Launcher.. there is the option to show "Notification Badges" with 3 options -- Dynamic Badges (generated badge icons from your notification content), Dots (which shows a dot on the icon in the corner), and Numeric Badges (which shows the unread count of notifications for the app on the icon -- requires TeslaUnread addition)

Quoting a post I found on another forum:
If you display static content on it for an extended period of time like on a store unit or on-screen buttons, then it will burn-in. Not quite as quickly as some have stated, and certainly not as quickly now compared to older OLED panels, but it's still an issue. For instance, the Galaxy S6 edge store units I've seen have suffered from pretty bad burn-in after a year of service, as they're powered on for almost the entire day at maximum brightness without the screen going to sleep. That's an extremely high-wear situation and a phone won't go through that sort of usage pattern (screen on 24/7 at max brightness) in the hands of consumers, maybe even for its lifetime.
Which brings me to this. Consumer units will suffer much less drastically compared to store units. They'll last for years with normal usage, though exceptions such as some Nexus devices with OLED panels exist. In most cases, however, you should be fine. I still have a 4 year old Galaxy S3 with the original display and it hasn't burned-in yet. Very impressive.

Personally I've had a Samsung Galaxy S (the original one), S4, S5, S6, S7 Edge in the past, and none of these devices suffered from screen "burn in". My Pixel 2 is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'm not gonna worry about the screen burn in issue. I think people are being way too paranoid about this.

We might want to wait for the OP to respond. Could be some trolling going on here.

The xl communities has found immersion mode hacks so he is best to ask there to see those ways of removing the navbar. It's not really discussed in this forum.

Best you can do with stock firmware is dots rather than numbers. Try Settings | Apps & Notifications | Notifications | Allow notification dots

Thanks

You mean the best you can do with stock apps, not firmware. Third party launchers such as Nova can give you numbers without any need to root.

The notification badges on iOS are just a bandaid solution to their compete lack of notifications in the status bar. On Android, no matter which app you have open, you can always see if you have a notification waiting for you without swiping down from the status bar or going to the home screen to scan for badges.
My best advice to the OP is to avoid making your Pixel look and act like an iPhone. You're only holding yourself back from all the awesomeness that Android has to offer.

Except the Pixel 2 suffers burn in on the navigation bar as well... try a grey background or white or dark blue, you'll see it. I have 2 Pixel 2's and a 2XL in the family and they all suffer burn in of differing degrees

Not seeing that on the Pixel 2 with a white background. Is it severe enough to be annoying or distracting to you?
edit: Hey whatever happened to the OP? lol. He trolled us pretty good. But it was fun anyway, so thanks.

Same here, no trace of burn-in on mine so far (tested with several different colours of background).

Looking to change icons with "Launcher for Win 10"

Hey folks,
I've been driving myself nuts trying to find a way to change icons with this launcher for days; I finally caved and decided to ask for help. I'm really glad that I came across this site. I've tried countless icon changer apps from the Play Store, but they aren't compatible with this launcher .
Anyways, I'm using a Google Pixel 2 XL with Pie (Android version: 9) & the launcher I'm using is "Launcher for Win 10" with the "Win 7 theme".
I'm just wondering if there is a way to manually change icons in the task bar. Specifically chompSMS. When I hold the icon, there is no option to edit it.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this.

Hey Droidriven,
Thanks for writing & the advice! I downloaded APKtool & Android Studio, and have been wearing out my fingers trying to figure out how to use them & searching the forums. I hate to ask you this since you were already nice enough to offer some advice, but, how do I decompile the launcher app?
