Go to the playstore and type in the search bar Navbar. Download the first navbar app that pops up and this navbar app should allow you to customize your navbar app to make it all black. Let me know if this works for you.

Tried a couple of the Navbar apps, didn't change it from white. I wonder who at Samsung saw that as an improvement. Makes my home screen ugly. I hope Nova comes up with something to fix it.

Hi guys,
Long time root user on every other device I've had, patiently waiting for our device to get root. But I did want to let you guys know how I corrected the white part over the navbar following the latest update. If you use nova launcher, you can set a gesture to hide the dock buttons, it's just a toggle (I have mine set as double tap swipe up) and it hides the buttons and makes the background of the nave normal again.
Lemme know if you have any questions.

I can change my navigation bar to six different colors other than white. You may need to activate the option to hide the navigation bar at the top of your picture before the colors become active. Personally, I his the bar and then just have to swipe up when I need it.

When you toggle the dock, the navbar turns clear, at least it does for me..

Captivate Status Bar for Atrix

If this post isn't in the right section, feel free to move it around.
Coming from the Captivate, there is one main thing that I miss. The status bar buttons. I know there are apps for this, but none act exactly how the Captivate did.
I've used a few apps, but they just aren't perfect. Is there a way to have these Captivate buttons from the status bar ported to the Atrix, or an app that does EXACTLY that?

I actually miss those from Cyanogen. There they were called Notification Power Widget. I have not found anything that can do it yet..
i would love to see that status bar on the atrix, its one of the few things that i miss from my captivate.
If you have power control plus, you can put a toggle bar in the notification tray!

I took a look at it and although it does put it in the notification bar its not a one click type deal. You hit it then it opens a new window for you to toggle in.

Yeah I dunno its mediocre.. I used notification toggle... It takes on slot per toggle so its not cm7 but it is one click. Just saying

Yea I read somewhere stock android doesn't allow it unless you make your own rom like cm7. I've also tried every program from widgetsoid to notification widget . Still can't mimic it exactly.

I have found this app work for what you are wanting to do. it wont pull down like a notification but you can make it better than that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
I have a whole separate page on my atrix with memory/battery/space information and then all of my widget switches
Another solution is using the app "mysettings" - It doesn't have
control from notification but you can assign long click on search button to open it then you can control all the features you had with your captivate from anywhere - even when I owned a cappy I used this app instead notification menu since that was faster.
quick settings
I had used my.settings for a while and found quick settings to be a bit better

Minimalistic Text and Tasker

I'm working on theming and customizing my Atrix. I've been using Minimalistic Text and Tasker for a few things. I've got it setup to show me specific notification types. Is there a way I can set it up to show me the notification bar if I tap it? Or even set it up to show current signal strength?
Thanks
I think that it's not possible to do that with minimalistic text, but you can try Zoom, a flexible widget made by the same guy that made Tasker.

Why not just use something like Elixir:

I'm currently using LauncherPro Plus with the notification bar hidden. I wanted to be able to tap something on my home screen to bring it up, but I may try Elixir and see how it goes.
i know it's not the same launcher, but on Go Launcher EX you can set it to swipe-gestures on any of the dock buttons (ex. the apps button) hides/shows the notification bar

In settings you can set it so the home button hides/shows the notification bar when on the homescreen.

In launcher pro plus, if you long press on the app drawer button, and select swipe gesture action, then select Show/Hide status bar, it should do what your looking to do. Works awesome, doesn't get in the way of anything, and all you have to do is swipe up on the App drawer launcher icon. You can also set your messaging/phone icon to show missed sms/calls. Took me a while to find that feature, hope it helps.

[Q] Anybody tried 4 button Navigation Bar with Menu Key?

I came from Samsung and really miss the Menu Key at the bottom.
Z Ultra menu key is at the top in all programs and really a pain to get the finger there.
I found 2 Mods in Xperia Z forum and I think it may be work on my rooted Ultra as most of the things are same.
But, we don't have CWM Recovery and can't flash. Anyone able to try below?

I know Ultimate Dynamic Navbar, but it is not like real Navbar and cover-up the items(eg., Keyboard) under it.
Cheers!
You may try 'Auto Hide Soft Keys'. You will not need the cwm to install this app.

Thanks. But, I don't want to hide soft keys.
I just want Menu Soft Key in Navigation Bar(Soft Key Bar).
That one can make it happen, but as well as hide soft keys when you dont use them.
By the way, in my view, most menu still remains the same position on the top right of the screen, wherever appears the menu button.
So, hopes u know what i am saying...XD
Thanks. Auto Hide is quite same with Ultimate Dynamic Navbar and cover-up the keyboard.
But with UDN, the stock Navbar can hide and make Android think it has Hardware Menu Button. So, menu boxes show at bottom.
Just what I found out and still not found what I need.
Cheers!
I am using UDN, I think the App is Fantastic :good:

Have you tried installing the Xposed Framework + GravityBox?
Here's my setup (sorry for the screenshot; I'm a big Loki fan)
{
"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"
}
The leftmost button adds a sort of favorite app launcher that houses 8 apps you can predefine using GravityBox. The rightmost button is Menu and launches the menu on other apps as well.
I found that the transparency doesn't work though; the color must be hardcoded in by Sony. It's a problem that I'm willing to overlook because I have the extra two buttons though.

Little annoyances in LG UI

Don't get me wrong. I love this phone and the UI and it's customising options. Still there are few things here and there that I miss from stock.
Let's list them.
I'll start with my 2,
1) Two swipe gesture on notification panel does not do any thing.
As you know , in Vanilla Android , if you swipe the notification panel with two fingers, you'll get all the toggles in one place.
Even Samsung has implemented this gesture even though they have the Quick Toggles like LG UI.
So it's kin of disappointing to not have it in LG UI.
2) No way to see all the Wakelocks and Display on , in the Battery chart,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is a big omission and I don't know why LG omitted this thing.
Add your own.
Install AOSP custom rom then.
Would like to be able to alter the icons on the lock screen

[Q] [REQ] Transparent status bar?

Hi, so as the title says... Just want to ask if there will be a transparent status bar feature?
It would be really nice to see it there, even in beta testing...

Good Changes! :good:
Saw that it arrived yesterday with an update, however the levels of transparency seem to be a bit broken.
If you select full transparency it doesn't seem to work, and just defaults to full black. (At least on the MotoX, anyway)
Additionally, if you select 'always show notification bar', the transparency option disappears entirely. (is this because it becomes adjustable within the widget setting instead?)
And finally, the transparency seems to have a forced gradient effect at all times, will there be a way to change this?

Hi,
Our team are still working on full transparency settings, as we want to make sure that the features will work 100%. So yes, we understand your frustration, but hopefully within the next update we'll include full transparency and gradient toggle support
I know there's a way but I don't know exactly "where" since I don't even know how to create a theme so maybe a theme maker knows?
This one have transparent default
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This one doesn't have statusbar on default
But you can pull it down which is exactly the look I'm after (until you do anything at all and it dissapears again)
So I've tried everything in settings
Which only makes it black
But there's obviously a way to make it persistent and transparent through the theme itself - how?
EDIT: Aha just unlock the widgets and longpress the statusbar and voilá - seems to be persitent (although I have a bunch of xposed modules that alters the statusbar)
Good!
