[Q] Soft-Keys Transparency - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The buttons on my fascinate broke, So I was forced to add Virtual Buttons/ Soft-Keys o the prop.txt. But now I want to make the soft keys transparent like on the Moto X. Does anyone know how to do so. (Running CM 10.1 on Verizon Samsung Fascinate)
I attached a screen shot so you can see.

I believe you need a ROM that allows for transparency adjustment. cm10.1 builds don't have that setting, it'd be pretty difficult to get it working. switch to helly bean. helly bean is based off of cm10.1 so it's stable but it's really customizable, and navigation bar is toggled in system settings, not through build.prop so it's easy
also, as far as i understand, in that rom anyway, transparency goes for both the status bar and nav bar. if you're okay with transparent status bar (i think it looks cool) then you can change transparency settings in the same place.
but motorola's customization as you said, only makes the soft key background transparent. if you only want that, i'm not too sure how to help you.

@LGC_Gamma
Unless you run xposed i don't think you can.
+1 for a ROM with built in navbar soft keys.
They have adjustable transparency levels
A 2nd choice would be ultimate dynamic navbar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.udn.lite
I know it has it too.
Or "gmd auto hide soft keys"
Can't remember if this did or not,, less functional to me,, so i uninstalled fairly quickly
.

Thanks for that, I'll definitely check out both of them.

Anyone working on this yet?

Really - these handy pull down toggles (on/off's for wifi, bluetooth etc) have been on every ver of Android since 2.0. Until now - who's brilliant idea was it to remove these?

Toggles in the notification bar have only ever been an OEM add-on, they are not part of stock Android/AOSP.
That said, it's definitely one of the most obvious missing features vs. the RAZR's contemporaries from HTC and Samsung.
My wife's new Pantech Breakout has some nice notification toggles stock! I'd love for something like that for my Razr!

yea, I miss those too. hopefully ICS has something like that in it whenever that comes out.
Available in the Market as always for example via Widgetsoid.
How many times will I have to say that for people to understan, unbelievable.

Well it doesn't work very well maybe that's why...It doesn't work with either of my Motorola phones w/o the popup - and the popup defeats the purpose imo.
Perhaps it works better on other devices idk...
Additionally, a lot of the toggles don't even work...it looks real nice and seems to be very configurable but just doesn't work for me.
Add the Toggleower Contorl widget to have some toggles.
Notification Toggle is working on my RAZR with a few minor glitches and enables customized pull-down toggles. This is a great workaround until ICS.

Shady's rom has toggles and Im now working on them for my rom also
Widgetsoid seems like a great app with a lot of potential and nice customization features, but on the Razr you can't toggle directly from the notification bar with it. Instead clicking on the toggle icon will popup another window to toggle the setting on or off. That and I haven't been able to change the colors of the toggles in the dropdown so that it's readable.
Notification toggle is the closest I've found. Each toggle takes up a line but you can actually turn the item on or off straight from the dropdown.

[MOD][XPOSED] Custom Status Bar Opacity [1.0][HTC 4.0.3+]

New Xposed Mod: Custom Status Bar Opacity
This tiny mod makes the opacity of the status bar (when it is transparent in lock screen or launcher) easily configurable from the mod's UI without reboot. Notice that it will not change anything if the status bar is not transparent at all (e.g. in apps).
=> This helped me getting white status bar icons better readable on bright launcher backgrounds but as well lets you make the status bar permanently solid or fully transparent.
Limitations
Works only on HTC stock-based ROMs version 4.0.3 and higher using Sense launcher (simply does nothing on other devices)
You MUST accept that you use any modification at your own risk
If you want to try it, follow these steps:
If not done yet or included in your custom ROM, install the Xposed framework as described in this thread (requires root)
Install the attached APK and activate the module in the Xposed installer (this is also described in the framework thread)
Reboot
ChangeLog
Code:
[B]1.0[/B]
- Initial release
Hope you enjoy and let me know. Great thanks go to @rovo89 for this fabulous framework.
My Other Xposed Mods
All HTC and Samsung ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Smart Alarm Icon
Only shows the alarm icon in status bar a configurable time before next alarm
All HTC Sense 5 ROMs
BlinkFeed Back To Top
Enables the back button in BlinkFeed to fast scroll to top
All HTC ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Custom Status Bar Opacity
Easily configure the opacity of the status bar when it is transparent in lock screen and launcher

I'm afraid not with version 1.0 or a quick solution based on it. I'm currently working on bringing this to Samsung's TouchWiz with a more generic approach, which makes it very likely to be working in ADW launcher as well. But this may take a while, so please stay tuned.
By any chance making this mod for Galaxy note 2?

Transparency on TouchWiz status bar works differently. This is HTC specific, since it covers the Sense-specific switch between transparency in launcher and no transparency in apps. Certainly, it could be done for TouchWiz with not that big effort, but has low prio for me currently. However, I have a device running TouchWiz, so make myself a note to look into it sometime.
Works great ! thank you !

Did you try to tap the mod in Xposed installer, which opens the mod preferences, and to slide the opacity slider completely to the left (0%). This will make your status bar solid black.

It only makes it solid black on the home screen and in the launcher, it reverts back to the gradient in apps.
It is working great and looks nice.

[REQ] Blackout/Transparent or Remove Notification Panel Clock/Lockscreen

I'm looking for help to either blackout, make transparent or remove the notification panel clock (drop down clock) and the lockscreen clock. I have already tired xblast tools and wanam xposed. Niether one gave me the desired results. I read that these can be modified in the systemui.apk, however I'm on a mac so the necessary tools aren't really available, that I am aware of. Anyways any input regarding a workaround or a solution would be much appreciated. Thanks
Update: I was able to take care of the notification panel clock via Wanam. Still looking for a solution for the lockscreen though.
For the lock screen clock.
Under locks sreen settings turn on multiple widgets.
Then you can press and hold on the clock to remove it.
And also can add whatever widget you want in its place.

Which rom/device have you confirmed it working on?
Doesn't work on Nexus7 (2012) ROM:CM10.2.1
Edit: working now!!! But please add "navbar height in landscape" because on tablets navbar is still in stock dpi in landscape mode
Works on Omnirom 4.4.2 Huawei Ascend P6, atlough the statusbar size is a little buggy. Combined with App Settings it can be put into good use for resizing the statusbar.
Click "Apply" anything did not happen.
Excellent!!!
This might be of interest for at least a few.
This mod enables the navbar / softkeys on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 running near stock TW rom (STS MK4). I have been searching for a mod that does this, as i've tried the manual editing of the CSC to disable the hw keys but never worked for me.
And I can shrink the navbar to 24 pts!

Not much success on my S4, either. The status bar never changed, and I got intermittent effects in some apps' title or action bar. Yes, I rebooted after each attempt. I'm looking forward to trying updated versions.
Things working/not working
Working: statusbar height, action bar height
Action bar title size is kinda working, it shows up when I open an app, but when it fully loads, text size is back to normal
Not working (and tested obviously): statusbar icon size (could it be an incompatibility with gravity box icons?), toast message distance from bottom
Also, loading previous settings causes fc, and ad cover the "Visit XDA thread" button.

This module replaces the values of dimens.xml inside framework-res.apk. It requires a reboot in order to reload these settings. I'll look into XuiMod and see how they're doing it, i suspect they have some sort of background service like GravityBox

Nope, already did, and didn't helped.
Maybe you are not aware, but G2 notification bar has big height comparing to other phones, so maybe it is already moded somehow especially that LG G2 heavily themed comparing to usual phones.
P.S
I'm using the stock ROM with 4.2.2 android.

[Xposed][MOD][5.0+] Force black nav bar

I just got an Android 11 phone and to my dismay some older apps that display generally in a dark theme have an unmatching ugly white nav bar. This module turns nav bars black.

It could be done, but since the apps won't be adapted for it, it might well obscure some app buttons at the bottom of the screen, so I am not inclined to do it. But if you want to, you can take the source code and just change opacity = 0xff to whatever you like in Hook.java.

Finally, one that works. Tried on my Samsung Note 9 on Android 10. Thank you for sharing this module.
Edit: Turned out, it interferes with a button on my installed calendar app. I can't click a button at the bottom. I had to un-select my calendar app in LSposed. For my other apps, this module works fine so I still use it.
I just added two nav bar options in addition to black:
- 50% translucent
- match status bar (white when status bar is whitish; else black)

Hi @arpruss , would you consider adding another option for the nav bar to match the status bar color? For example when status bar is blue then nav bar is blue also.
Works perfectly on Oreo, thanks a lot
Hey, sorry for multipost but I wanted to push it to the top..
I'm on Oreo with the last, fully working version of Xposed as magisk module.
I noticed that some apps fail to "acknowledge" the navbar with your module enabled and that results in bottom bar,if they have one, being behind it and not being able to see or use it.
Can you please look into this issue?
Thanks for the module, I've been looking for something like this. Been using Nacho Notch to simulate something similar.
Seems like it can create some oddities in some apps. For example I've enabled it for YouTube (Vanced) and when I try to post a comment it refuses to show the comment box above the keyboard. Very odd issue, but it's fixed when I disable the module.
Also I cannot force the statusbar to be black?

Yeah, I had the same problem.
Some apps even don't show the bottom menu if they have it.
It's really a pity cause I use both navbar customized with GravityBox and Xposed Edge for gestures and can't imagine my life without both of them lol ;P
So I have to bear the white navbar for now
What if I want some black navbar to white?
