OK so this is my very first vanilla android phone having had the likes of gs3 and one x with the overlays.
What seems odd (unless I'm missing something ) is that when I get a text or email I get a notification in the status bar but nothing on the icon itself.
Is this normal? If so any way to get notifications on the icons?
Thanks

That's normal on a nexus because app icon notifications are added by manufacturers. I've been doing this for the longest time since n1 days. Use a launcher and get their app notifies. Currently I have nova prime with tesla unread notifier.

Hello all,
I'm running Paranoid Android and am absolutely loving it - but I'm looking for a way to possibly make the bottom bar (back, home, multitasking, notifications, time) completely transparent.
Anybody know how?
Thanks,
Kevin
You need a launcher like Apex or Nova that supports it.

It works on stock launcher as well. Just go to the hybrid settings, go to apps, find the launcher and set the nav bar transparency.

Just go to themes and there you'll find only one theme available, that one will give you all those things you seek in transparent!

Hey there,
I'm used to pull down the notification bar from any possible app (even games) on the sgs3.
I noticed it isn't possible on the nexus... Is there any mod or something for that? :/

its sdk functionality. if an app requests the statusbar should be hidden the framework has to do that in order to not get in the way of gestures and swipes on which the app relies. if touchwizz ignores that it would be a pretty evil abuse, something that should get them in legal trouble. i dont think it would be hard to realize but i know of no mod or rom who's got that.
Oh I see thank you very much for the explanation.
I got pretty used to it as it was really convenient checking my notification bar without minimizing my current app. (Change music, brightness , GPS etc....)
Oh well will have to get used to it then.
Thanks for the reply again

Miui allows this. I expect we'll get a miui rom eventually.
For the time being you could use this app:

I use it and it works great

Install Nova Beta.
Exactly the same only thing is that the bars are transparant.

Yeah, I thought it was a stupid move on Google's part to exclude this feature from the Nexus 4 as well as others.
If you are running Android 4.4 KitKat on your Nexus 4 go to this website, follow instructions. It should be pretty straight forward

Those launchers (including nexus 5 launcher) make header and footer transparent only on home screen and applications list screen. Black bars are most annoying when you're reading messages or documents, surfing internet, etc.. I really don't care about home screen. Is there any better way to get rid of this?
No, and that's how it is on the Nexus 5 as well.
I've always used 5 home screens; the main screen, 2 to the left, and 2 to the right. With my new Turbo 2, it appears that swiping left does absolutely nothing? Is there any way to change that?
I know I can download Nova or another 3rd party launcher, but I like the notification count on apps like gmail that i don't think is available on non-stock launchers. Thoughts?
Thanks!
That's default behavior of Android launcher, since LP I think. Just checked AOSP on my tablet and is the same. CM on my phone can set another second screen to be home so you' get left and right screen from home.
You can use notification count on Nova premium. All you need to do is download tesla unread and it will give notifications for text email even whatsapp

Wasn't aware of that app, thanks it's perfect!
Yup, Nova rules.

Yeah it has so many features I love the swipe down to open notifications anywhere on the screen. Makes it easier on a larger phone not having to reach all the way to the top.

I am coming from Samsung devices and I really got used to seeing the stock icons with notifications on them. Are there any launchers that will do this without needing root?

Nova with the Tesla Unread plug in gives you icon notification badges.
Nova ftw! I have their paid app with gestures and other goodies...
I have used nova in the past and liked it but I don't like it on my 6p. I use the Gmd immersive app to hide my soft keys and when I use it on the stock launcher the screen becomes larger. When I use it with nova the screen stays the same size and when the soft keys hide nova just leaves a large black box instead of expanding the screen.
