Transparent Notification Bar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, is there a mod that allows to make the not. Bar transparent in apps?
Send from my awesome S3!

Not sure if it works only in app but with the 3minit mod you can change the colour and transparency of the notification bar.

not to be confused with the status bar

my bad! @Glebun, Whats the difference then. Just so i can learn and not make the stupid rookie error in future!

I wasn't referring to you, since I'm not familiar with the mod you are talking about. I just thought that OP might have had the status bar in mind. The status bar is the bar on top of the screen with the clock, battery and signal levels and notification icons. The notification bar is the expanded status bar where the notifications are.

OK, my apologies. Thought you were correcting my Noobness! I thought the two were connected but presumed i was missing something or misusing the correct names for them!
With the 3Minit Framework Mod you can change both status bar and notifications bar colour and transparency.

Also, if you use AOKP, there is a system setting in ROM control to manage that.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

[Q] How to remove clock from status bar

Is it possible to remove the clock from the status Bar?
Howto?
I use VillainRom or Cognition
Why would you do that ? I don't see a case where it's useful to hide the clock... Unless you have a ton of bull**** applications which makes tons of bull**** notifications
It's possible with CyanogenMod though.

Well, if you have a clock on your homescreen, everyone will laugh at you when they see you have 2 clocks visible on 1 screen since it's pretty retarded.
If he can turn off the satus bar clock he doesn't have to look retarded while using a homescreen clock.

Agree 100% - status bar clock is worthless IMO, delighted to be rid of it.
Revolution ROM also supports EDT tweaks/clock removal.

Thank you!
Just what I wanted.
Agree. But the EDT tweaks will still shows date and time on the slide down notification status bar which make it look very crumsy.
That's nice if your drop down menu has a non-transparant background.

Any easy way to change status bar colour?

Hi,
Just installed CWM7 on my ST15i and I'm loving it, the only disappointment is the lack of customization when it comes to the status bar.
Does anybody know a way in which to manually change the colour of the status bar (pref. to white) and swap the notification pngs to contrast?
I know there's an app (statusbar+) which can "overlay" your old status bar with a new one, but it's sluggish and unresponsive at the best of times.

Kindly post this at themes section

quick question about status bar

How can I change the color of the text/icons in my status bar?
I feel like such a newbie asking this
You don't unless your ROM includes a way. The only way to do it is to flash a theme with the colors you want, and that will only change the system icons. App icons will not change.
Thats kinda what I thought

Is it possible to replace MIUI status/notification bar?

The status bar at the top is so small the app notification icons are way to small. Is there a way to make it bigger or go back to AOSP without changing ROMs?
No, there's an xposed mod called 'immersed status bar' for MIUI but I believe that only changes things like the signal strength indicators and the like.
I would like to know that, too. There must be a solution. I've seen a video but it was very complicated

Can I change the status bar icons on the Verizon variant of the phone?

I would really like the stock Android status bar icons. My main gripe is that 4g/3g takes up a whole other icon instead of being combined into the cell signal. Any chance of modifying these without root?
This is always my complaint on Verizon phones. They insist on messing with the icons. I have not figured out anything yet, besides using a material status bar app from the play store, but the problem with it is the status bar will not go transparent on the home screen with Nova launcher. Once we can get Andromeda or Substratum support, it opens up a whole new world.

So close! This lets me enable/disable various status bar icons but not change them. Thanks though.
Found it! An app just called Status. Transparency on the homescreens only works if you have a non-live wallpaper tho.

Cool, thanks. I was really hoping to avoid just overlaying the system status bar, but that might be the only way unfortunately.
