Need Status Bar Removed - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I need to have the status bar changed to transparent as well as all the status icons like the signal, sync, time and all that crud.
Everytime I try to ADB Pull it out and change then push it back it results in an endless loop of vibrations every fifteen seconds and the screen stays black.
Is there any one willing to pull the framework and change the bar colors to transparent and upload it for everyone. Im using Hyperdroid v 1.7.
Thank you,
Many people have been trying this with no luck because of a lack of skills. so anyone with the know how would be greatly appreciated...

You are more likely to get an answer in the Q & A forum (where you should have put this anyway...)

I posted it here because I was asking for someone to post a file which in turn everyone else can download. Which is development section enough for me lol.
Mods feel free to move if you disagree.

Well, After you ADB pull + edit the .apk file, you need to resign it. Without being resigned, the app wont load. Learn how to do this by searching..
'How to sign an apk'.

are you using ADW or LauncherPro? Both have options to simply hide the status bar. Much easier.

Hide icons in status bar

Is it possible to remove any of the default icons from the status bar? I have so many up there that I barely have any room for notifications. The location icon is pointless. It's there whether you have location turned on or off. I realize this may require rooting, but is it possible?
It will be possible at some point Im sure. Developers were just starting to get rid of them on the Hero (2.1 Android) before I upgraded to the Evo. I was happy to finally get rid of the battery icon since I use a percentage widget in the notification bar anyway. Many were also getting rid of the clock if they had one on their homepage.
Agreed. I have the clock removed on my moment, thanks to the devs at sdx im sure someone will do the same over here as well.
Seriously the Target icon is annoying! And I thought I was a waste of space.

I hate having the GPS and BT icons show up, I already know gps is always on and the blue light tells me if BT is on.
Will it require loading a custom rom that already has these icons removed or will there be a way to manually remove them from any custom rom after it has been loaded onto the phone?
also interested in this, that location icon/cross hair/reticule is insufferable

What blue light????
Also interested in this. Don't need location, vibrate/silent, or clock.
in for this too, preferrably an app in the market
any custom roms provide this?

could dev eliminate the 911 location icon?

I have read that the LOCATION active icon that showed up in DJ05 is for the 'mandated' gps location feature for 911.
Could/would a dev eliminate these 2 symbols and free up the space for actual notifications?
I have read you can make them transparent, but that wouldn't free up spots, right?
an app to do these and/or more would be cool

Could/would a kernel dev publish '911 icon free' kernels?

Dunno, but themers sure can, and do.

my understanding is themers just make them transparent, which would not make those 2 spots available to other use.
do you have that many running items in your notification bar that this is a hinderance? I don't think you can rid the icon without ridding the feature... the feature calls upon an image to show, so without an image, there'd be errors... i suppose we could just make the image like 1pixel x 1pixel? that MAY(?) work?

if you have 500 million things in your status bar i "guess" this is an issue
but frankly its a framework issue...and while yes *could* i edit them out completely? sure...but frankly 99.9% of people dont care theyre transparent

You could remove the icon without removing the feature. They did it with HTC devices. You just remove the call to display the image. You just need to figure out where it is and what the call needs to do to no display the image.

I tried to get enough notifications up there to test his claims, and I couldn't.

am I wrong in thinking that would provide more positions for left side notifications?

That's why I stopped really looking at it. When the icon is transparent, the only time I have noticed a gap in the notifications is when the sync icon is there. Otherwise, it's like it never existed. I can look into it again, but I make no promises on when I will get to it or if it can be fixed.
If it would NOT provide more positions to LEFT side notifications, then I would not ask anyone to bother. If it would provide more room for them... it would seem worthwhile.
so which is it? More room or doesn't change LEFT side area size?
At most, you'd get one more position for the left side notifications.
even though it apparently takes up 2 positions?
I appreciate the info btw!

see how crowded my bar is?
Could you tell me a theme to do it when I was on Dj05 super clean it erased but now on DL09 the new super clean didn't work and there aren't many themes for it

Notification toggle on status bar ?????

Hi there
How can I add notification shortcuts ( wifi, bluetooth,.....etc )( like that of CM7 ) to status bar on official froyo rom ?
\
\
\
Thanks in advance
one easy way to do it is to write an app that has persistant notifications that link to those settings. so you will always have a "button" in your notification tray
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationManager.html
Notifications can take different forms:
A persistent icon that goes in the status bar and is accessible through the launcher, (when the user selects it, a designated Intent can be launched)
---------
Let me know if you need more. I can write some sample code when i get home

Looks good, but it's nice to write this stuff your self. Not too hard, good app to learn from.

@killersnowman
What I was talking abt is A persistent icon on status bar.
I thought This could be easy but I was wrong, it's difficult.
If u can simplify the steps, I'll try to do it.
@j4velin
Regarding NT.apk, It's very good app But i wish it has direct access from status bar ( I mean when pressing for ex. WIFI, it opens another screen to activate WIFI )
actually it's not a problem, Just wishing
Thank U very much
I really appreciate your help
You mean like clicking the batter icon or the clock in the status bar and going to those corrosponding settings? There is no method for achieving this. If you try that now you will see that the notification tray starts to slide down.
From something awesome
I mean like the pic.
Maybe someone else knows but im pretty sure that cant be changed or added without modifying or changing the current rom. Or a home screen replacement (never used one so im not sure)..
From something awesome
OK
Thank u so much
wish you best of luck

[Q] [Q/Advice] Looking for a ROM with certain features.

Hey guys. I've used a couple of ROMs and still cannot find one with 4 specific things that I look for in a modified version of 4.2.2/4.3 Android.
1. Brightness Slider on Notification Drawer Pulldown
2. Screen off music track change with Volume Buttons
3. Toggle Widget on Notification Drawer.
4. Dark/Black theme toggle switch in Settings.
If anyone can provide some assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
IBTL!
These types of threads are frowned upon dude; asking for ROM with.....
You can find what you're looking for by, well looking for it.
Use search it's your friend.
Try a few things out. Then try a few more..
Good luck.

Look, I get it, and I'm not trying to be rude, but if I could magically search for all these features in a ROM, I would. I've used over ten ROMs and no luck. It wastes my time. Why is it a bad thing to rely on the experiences of others? That's what we do every time we do a Google search. We explore threads with people asking questions. Not to mention, this question could also help someone else looking for these things.

As above person posted, this thread will eventually get closed due to the fact that every person had their own wants and needs. So its a matter of trying and if you cant find any then idk really. But 1,2, and 3 can be found in dubbsy's rom and you can used xpose mods to do such thing and I havent had any problems with it. And your fourth request can be done yourself. Just got to know how to theme and change pngs and such.

Status bar issue: lost its transparency

Greetings!
Haven't come across anything like this elsewhere. Been scouring the interwebs for solutions but to no avail. So, I decided to make another XDA account since there's always an error here in XDA when requesting for a new password, thus can't log back into my old XDA account.
So, anyone knows a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance!
NB: can't post outside links unless already got 10+ post here in XDA so no screenshots uploaded
Need more information. I've not got my S7 Edge yet but I used one in the shop and the status bar is 100% transparent, so if your new device has lost it's transparency, you must have installed something or done something to it. Have you installed a new launcher that doesn't support transparent status bar for example?
Just the Liquid Cloud live wallpaper which I have been using with my S6E+ flawlessly
That will be it then. It's probably not compatible with Marshmallow or the version of TW the S7 comes with. If you remove it or change to another wallpaper the status bar will almost certainly return to full transparency. Then see if there is an update to the wallpaper.
For the benefit of the doubt, reverted to its static wallpaper but still no changes
Reboot. Then, if no change, uninstall the live wallpaper and reboot again.
Haist! Did everything you mentioned. Still there! This is driving me nuts!
Appreciate the quick response. Think I will just commission my S6E+ back until someone got this sorted out!
Maybe, wipe cache partition? Just like what I did back then when my Samsung Pay was acting up weird which solved it
Clear launcher data and, if that doesn't work, remove the apps you have installed one by one. It's bound to be one of them.
If all else fails I presume you haven't done much on the phone yet so a factory reset is always an option. Power off, then power on with volume up and the power button to go into stock recovery. Select factory reset. You will lose everything on the phone though. I also suggest you remove any memory card just in case.
Just use nova launcher

Could it have something to do with the font change ?? you are clearly not using the default one
Clean cache and force close system ui, reboot and it should fix it!
The Status Bar turns gray when you turn on Power Saving. Turn off Power Saving and it should return to being transparent.
Power Saving ON:
Power Saving OFF:
Also, don't force close any of your UI or system elements unless you plan on rebooting. Your device will be unstable until you reboot.
Well, you've just saved me a lot of trouble! Thanks! Didn't know S7E's TW would be giving me such pain. Didn't encounter such thing on my S6E+.
Thank you for all your thoughts, guys!
Glad it's all sorted out now, bruh!
That gray status bar was really starting to p*ss me off! I used to keep my phone on power save mode all the time with Lollipop and never had that issue. Wtf Marshmallow?!

Do you have power saving turned on? I noticed on mine when its enabled the status bar looses its transparency and goes grey.
Turn off the Power saving Mode and It Goes
Xposed module Flat Style Colored bars
Xposed module, "Flat Style Colored bars" solves the problem while power saving is on.
I tried it on my note 4 and it worked. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on other phones...
