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.

i have noticed that the Am/Pm bar on the top of the screen starts to burn in, it would be great if somebody could make an app that would move the Am/Pm bar around so everybody's burn in's dont get any worse
I believe changing fonts every now and then could take care of it. I know it's not whast you asked for, I guess it would just act as a bandaid for now.
LauncherPro lets you hide the statusbar on the homescreen.

Zeam let's you do this as well and it's what I recently started doing. Another option might be to use a 24 hour clock. Not sure how much that would really help though.
If they have a way to black out the battery how come theres no way to get rid of the clock or black it out I dont use it anyway
egc-r2+voodoo jl4+jl4 modem
devs for the verizon fascinate found a way to remove the am/pm from the notification bar. probably the main reason they removed it on the nexusS lol we could look into how they removed it.

Murse thanks for the suggestion! I went and downloaded Zeam from the market and it's an excellent launcher which also allows you to hide status bar! And it's free, no ads! Thanks again buddy!
edit: Ok Zeam only removes the status bar from the home screen. Open the browser or any app and the status bar reappears so not useful for hiding status bar. Also live wallpapers freeze intermittently while running Zeam. Is a good launcher despite those shortcomings.
Removing status bar entirely will probably require a different rom, not an apk.

Do you have a link to something pointing to where they changed it. I am working on a mod that will allow you to change the color (like in cyanogen mod) and even hide time and/or am/pm.

Yes. I am working on a mod (for Nero3) that takes the "settings" features from cyanogenmod, so you can show/hide the time, show/hide am/pm and change the color.
I have the code in place in the services.jar, and let me tell you, that is no easy task... and I think it is "sort of" working. when I flash the modded services jar, I have no time, but i also dont have the signal strength, and battery. which is also part of the CM stuff.
I started creating a "custom" spareparts app, that is based on the CM one (it only has the time / status bar stuff). but currently i have been unable to get it to display the time or any of the other status icons.
I am not sure yet what the problem is. It could be because it is not signed as a system app, or it could be that I am missing something in the services.jar.
Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
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.

yes it is possible
follow this guide I made
and make <string name="quickpanel_ampm_position_formatter">%1$s %2$s</string>
make it look like this
<string name="quickpanel_ampm_position_formatter"></string>
save and recompile.

If you are using touchwiz, you wouldn't need it. If you use nova launcher, there is an option.
Otherwise you are out of luck atm, I believe.
Also, next time atleast mention the correct device, not somethingelse like g3. Your topic was not wrongfully moved, your own fault.
Sent from my SM-N910U using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I mentioned I used certain apps previously on the G3. Should have been more clear on that. This is for the note 4 which I now own. However I learned that I could manually change the color for individual apps with tinted status bar mod thru exposed. It's kind of a pain getting them to match. I thought the app would automatically match the status to the action bar color.
Sorry
Use colour picker app from play store, you'll get the colours to match easily, this is what I've done in the past with status bar tint on my m7

Take a screenshot and use this site to get a color match. Works perfectly.

Xperia z3v with prerooted 5.0.1. Using lolistat from xposed. When Im on my homescreen my status bar is staying solid blue and my nav bar is suppose to be transparent not black. Its really iritating and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Any help would be great!

Lolistat?
Lolistat makes your status and nav bars match the colors of other apps. Gives it a more android 5.0 look.

Try removing it and see if the bug goes away. Not all Xposed mods work perfectly, especially on our phones when it's considered an overall different device than the rest of the Xperias.
Tried it and it didnt work.

Your best chance is to just reflash the prerooted ROM and start clean there. You will still keep most of your data (phone logs and apps), and if there are apps you froze, it will stay frozen. What you will have to do is reflash the Xposed installer and framework and all the other mods to get back to where you want to be before you installed this mod bug.

Mine is also blue on the home screen (matches other apps fine). Very jarring appearance. Otherwise phone seems to be smooth and operational. Just enabled Advanced Calling 1.0 (assuming this is VoLTE/HD Voice).
I came from stock 4.4.4, no root.
EDIT 2: Further info - looks like you and I were both using Google Now Launcher. If you revert to default launcher, everything should look normal.
EDIT 1: I just changed my "Theme" from Xperia (changing colors) to white, and the notification bar is now grey/white. Seems like probably it's related to the changing color theme and the inability to have a color-changing notification bar. Too bad they didn't default it to black instead of bright baby blue. It's also coordinated with the color of your settings app, which is blue using Xperia theme.
