Someone just gave me their old realme 2 pro I saw that the specs of the device they are pretty simlar to the pixel 3a. So there was just one catch I cannot root the phone . So is there a way to get a pixel like status bar on a non rooted realme ui 1.0 device. These are some features I really want
1.(most important) it should blend in with my wallpaper so it dosent look like
It's not ment to be there
2. It should work with powershade as to get a custom notification panel I have been using powershade
3.(not entirely important) but it would be helpful if I dosent contain malware or a virus (adware is fine)
Android's Statusbar is managed by Android's SystemUI, hence you'ld have to replace existing SystemUI by a version that matches your needs.

I would like to hire the right developer for a personal project.
I absolutely dislike white statusbar icons. Most, if not all substratum
themes do not touch the status bar icon color, some use overlays to
change the background though. There is a substratum overlay for wifi icons but this seems overly
complex for such a simple icon swap, and there have been changes made by google
to prevent the signal icon from being changed, at least according to the developer.
In earlier versions of Android, SystemUI.apk could be extracted along with framework-res,apk, and the
resources swapped for icons of my choosing. I am going with an AOSP rom
based on Nougat (AICP, or Resurrection). I am not working with Sense roms. My understanding is that Oreo further limited
the ability to change statusbar icons, that would be my reason for going
with Nougat. I would rather stay with an Oreo build of AICP but that is not a must.
If you are interested, I would like an estimate of the time it would
take you to:
1. Tell me which files to pull and send to you
2. Determine where the resources and/or code must be decompiled/edited to make this
work, that is, signal, wifi, other icons of my choosing. I can provide the icon files.
3. Send me the edited files
4. I will test
5. Work with me to handle the bugs
6. Once we have a working setup, draft an outline of what you did which
would enable me to decompile/edit the appropriate apks or files so I can
do this myself later with different icons.
A bit about me:
I am tech savvy, familiar with the linux command line, adb, etc.
I am working with AOSP roms on a HTC M9. Rooted, S-OFF, it is a GSM
variant (himaul). But I am not a software developer.
I am not looking for an app to do this for me. But I am seeking out the expertise
to reverse engineer what I need to make this happen and do it manually.
In my hours of pouring over xda I read somewhere the inability to choose
the icons is a google policy. I can't stand the modern UI white, washed
out colors but themeing can take care of most of that. In case you ask,
I'm currently on 4.3 on a HTC M7 from 2014 and I have got to get going with a newer
device.
I realize your time is valuable and this will not be a trivial task (or expense)....I only ask you to reply having enough familiarity to dive in without too much OJT.
Please do include your hourly rate. I would have no problem if this work is made GPL and free to post here, if you like.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I got a used OnePlus 7T Pro, because it was a better choice for me in many ways than new phones. I just absolutely love the screen.
But I was trying to find out, how to make actually everything fully use it. Afaik there used to be a way on A10, that is no longer working.
So I searched the whole week how to hide the status bar, and in the end decided to even root and try various Magisk modules, or EdXposed/GravityBox stuff, pretty much anything I could find because many people reported "status bar height = 0" to do the job. But it really doesn't.
It allows to hide the *contents* of the status bar, BUT the space there is still covered by an ugly bar that apps (browser, whatsapp, anything) aren't drawing over. And that looks even worse than having clock+battery present honestly :'(
So I am desperately trying to search for ANY way to accomplish a fullscreen experience. Does anyone know of one?
I actually like the stock OxygenOS personally. But at this point, I'm willing to hop on any good quality custom rom that would allow it.
(I am even considering somehow downgrading to A10, but would absolutely prefer not to).
I can't believe people here aren't all over this / that everyone with 7/7T pro didn't already do everything in their power to accomplish a full system-wide fullscreen experience. So, desperately pleading anyone, is there some Rom/Mod/Module allowing this?
Thanks
Oh, one additional thing: I noticed, that when changing the option under
Settings -> Developer -> Display Cutout
The status bar (and the reserved space around it) actually does change and move up/down for various options. The "Waterfall Cutout" makes the bar significantly narrower, and apps are properly respecting it (= being drawn a bit higher) too. Which gives me some hope.
There is an installable Magisk module called "None Display Cutout" from here:
[Remove display cutout][ROOT] Full screen 21:9 for apps in landscape, incl Netflix.
Requirements: Magisk root. Download and install the "None Display Cutout" in the Magisk managers module repo. It will add an option in developer settings display cutout options, "No Display Cutout". Choose it, and apps, including netflix, will...

These just don't try to accomplish complete status bar disappearance, but they touch on the "Display Cutout" settings in some way. So they *could... maybe* be modified to make the status bar completely disappear? Since they alter the overall display bounds even on Android 11 successfully.
Honestly, those 2 are the most promising directions I stumbled upon, but I personally don't know how to modify them to do what I want (= shrink the whole status bar area to 0 pretty much)
/// I reposted this to OnePlus 7T Pro (I am sorry I originally did not notice 7Pro and 7TPro have different categories), here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ay-to-hide-free-the-status-bar-space.4395539/
But if allowed, I'd rather have the thread left visible even here in "7 Pro", since I believe the solution would work on both and usually the semi-solutions I stumbled upon were from "7 Pro" devices too.
What Does A Custom ROM DEPEND on?
So unfortunately my phone, being an amazon phone, isn't a popular device and has NO custom roms available, I struggled to find a TWRP file but I FINALLY found one. Does the rom depend on architecture? Chip? Screen Size? Camera? What makes a BV A80 Pro (Same phone just a slightly differnt chip and the Pro doesn't have NFC) lineage os ROM (BV A80 Pro has an LOS Custom ROM) not work on a BV A80 Plus? I couldn't find an answer on google and I know people here are smart (Except me) I really want Lineage OS, Havoc OS, Bliss or AOISP. How would I get one of these on my device?
Upgrading to android 11 or 12:
My phone has Android Q and I asked the company if my phone will ever receive an update past Q, They said no and I don't have the money to go buy a new phone. I flashed an A11 GSI in TWRP but it says "Cant flash system files to system" or something like that. How would I update it to A11?
System Apps:
Bloatware, Bloatware, BLOATWARE! I HATE IT! I don't know what flash file to edit, nor do I know how I would go about editing it so that I can remove the bloatware and add some apps. Help here would be great!
Aesthetics Editing:
So I recently rooted my phone (BV A80 Plus), and I only rooted my phone because I specifically bought the red version of that phone because I like red. Unfortunately, all the buttons, volume panel, settings app text, toggle switches and quick settings tiles are blue. Its not an attractive contrast and I wanted a way to make that blue accent a nice red. I tried the Dev options accent color, but it doesn't change every accent, it only changes the text accent. Everything else stays blue. I tried Swift installer AND substratum, but those tiles still stay blue... So I looked into my phones System UI apk, and I found that there is a separate color input for the tiles under res/values/colors. I don't know how to change that color so I guess I'm asking for a little help with that.
Is Another UI Possible On Stock Android?
Is it possible to replace the boring stock UI with a different one? Like One UI or Mi UI?
Sorry for the long post
Just got 7a from google store online (no carrier lock), coming from OP7 pro on Android 10 been running without navigation pill or status bar... (well it was invisible? if icons were hidden) used System UI tuner for that phone.
Seems every command I want to use in System UI tuner is broken in Android 13 on this 7a device because I can't get immersive mode or transparent "pill" nav to work...
Read ADB commands stopped doing these commands a while back as well. I don't care to do much more to the phone but get immersive full use of screen. I would also like to get rid of date and time on home screen and the google widget at the bottom of home screen BUT not a priority.
Haven't had to root a phone in ages.... is this the only way I am going to accomplish this? If so is there a guide to follow to get this end result? Apparently I'm a born again noob.
Thank you to anyone for insight

Rooting is easy. You can check the PixelFlasher tool here on XDA. And using Xposed + AOSP mods will do the trick.

Greetings everyone,
I've recently bought a new phone with android 12 preinstalled ( Xperia 5 II ) and I can't express how ugly and awfully that UI is being designed.
On top of that lack of customization is getting on my nerves as well as some of the functionalities, despite how it looks this is not only a rant, I really want your help.
-Notification bar ( completely reworked, swiping once shows only 4 HUGE tiles instead of 6 as it should be, and swiping twice 8 instead of 9)
-Notification Tile toggles ( lack of wifi, mobile data, nfc, 3G/4G+ switch toggle)
-Recent apps Tab ( checking overview tab shows apps vertically positioned, each taking almost full screen preview and having to navigate through all of them to reach CLEAR ALL)
-Unable to set main Homescreen page
I've 'fixed' some things to my liking by using different launcher, adb to restore wifi,data toggles(functional but not showing whether it's pressed or not) and still got some things that I'm stuck with.
With all that said my question is: What would my options here be? Could I 'flash' (replace) only the UI version without rooting ( that was maybe too stupid of a question but I'm wondering)
Is it possible that I rollback to A11 or even force upgrade to A13 (phone wont get any further updates past A12) and retrieve functions mentioned above? (If I go on this path would only use official android stock version for my device, not rooting, hopefully without losing any functionalities)
Please give me your thoughts on this as I would be very grateful for every reply!
Thanks in advance!
