Xylon ROM Mako - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I am not allowed to post in developer forums, I try it here.
I flashed the latest xylon rom (xylon_mako_017_nightlies-23.zip)
I really like that the whole screen is filled with the live wallpaper. Even the background color of nav and status bar are transparent.
But as soon as I went into navbar settings they aren't fully transparent anymore. They are black with a low transparency.
I didn't change their color just the color of the icons. But it changes by itself. And I find no way to get them back to be fully transparent.
Anybody running xylon and knows what the problem is?
Moreover what do I have to do to be allowed to post in developer forums? Only make more then 10 posts?
thanks

Did you check in Xy settings, General UI, Navbar Transparency? He moved that setting from navbar settings to general ui a few days ago.

Anyone has the bug that if you have voice mail display in the phone app, and when you try to click to play in the phone app, the phone app force closes.
I am on 2.1 stable. Fresh install.
This bug also was in the previous stable release.

Are you talking about google voice notification? or google voice widget? I have my voice mail set up on widget so I can get a visual voice mail and working fine....

Yeah, you can change the transparency for the homescreen area but any time you open an app the navbar and status bar go to black.
I was hoping it would stay transparent everywhere, I'm not a big fan of Pie myself and would rather have clear bars.
I just started using this ROM though, so wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

No the fact that when you plug in the device the LED stays green and when the phone hits 14% and under it will constantly flash a red LED

Hide navbar on lockscreen?

Hi! I'm running the latest paranoid Android and i was wondering if hiding the navbar on the lockscreen only was possible. I looked all over the internet and couldnt find any information. Could anyone help me please?
I apologize in advance, since I'm not that familiar with PA...
On Carbon I have a thing called "Transparency Settings" wich regulate transparency for navbar and statusbar, with separate settings for lockscreen. You might just have something like it.
edit: Okay if you mean the black bar is showing, even with the buttons, it's a strange behavior with Android hopefully Google will fix it. The only way I know of is to set the phone in expanded mode, sorry.
Thank you for responding! It's OK i can live without this feature...

Kit Kat 4.4 transparent nav bar

I have issues on nexus 5 port rom for our device with the transparency of the navigation bar.
Although when it boots I have the correct transparency on lock screen and launcher after opening some apps it goes all black.
On other roms I found it always black.
Anyone knows why is this happening and how to fix?
I really like 4.4 update and I am also a perfectionist

Well you dint understand the problem.
When I open an app or two and return to launcher or lock the screen the navigation bar stays black.
Hit the home button again and try....
I'm getting issues too, i'm using the launcher on Samsung Galaxy Nexus Maguro, and i didn't get transparent navbar and statusbar. So, i installed the gravity box to set it's transparency, but, in the navbar, i only get half of the bar transparent, and half black. What do i have to do to get it fully transparent? I really enjoy the new launcher :x

You don't get it fully transparent. It's supposed to be only half transparent.

Half transparent is fine they designed it this way. But it seems with the early builds we have little bugs like this.

[Q] 4.4 Update nothing like Nexus 5

It's not even close to being similar.
What's going on?
edit: What's missing:
Translucent menu bar
Translucent dock
The inability to add/remove home pages
Translucent app drawer - App drawer no different. Still shows widgets
Messaging app is still there - Good point though
To sum up, it looks like Jelly Bean..
sure it is. so the status bar isnt clear. install the Google Experience launcher if you didnt install it yet.

It's strange Google becomes easier and more accessible yet people still rather ask on a forum. And wait.

From memory, the same happened with 4.2/4.3 on the Galaxy Nexus vs Nexus 4. They were similar, but there were differences between them. One that springs to mind was the Nexus4 shipped with "Chrome" whereas the Galaxy Nexus had "Browser". There was other bits and bobs that were different between them too, and i remember thinking it was pretty strange, given they were supposed to be both running "vanilla" android.
Search or read existing threads this has been discussed countless of times. Install Nexus 5 port or buy a Nexus 5.

1. the n4 doesnt get the translucent bar.
2. same with the clock
3. install the google experience launcher, its not default
4. see#3
5. open google hangouts and except hangouts as your messaging app(same on n5).
so it turns out only the translucent bar and clock are different. does that make the n5 and n4 4.4 roms not even close to being similar, no.

Themes and Color schemes

So I'm new to the stock look of this Galaxy, I ran HD ROM on my S4. I like the way the colors looked with the custom ROM. Is installing a theme a way to change the over all look and colors of the screens/menus? I know that launchers do a little with this but I like the stock launcher for now. Sorry I'm semi new to this but any help/pics of your device is VERY helpful.
Thanks!!

Idk if it's considered a theme but if you use Power saving mode you can turn on grey scale

I was wondering the same. I think all the colors are hideous. I am returning my One M8 to get the S5 because I like the size but I can't get over how stupid all the menus look on the S5.
Unfortunately, using the stock launcher (which I also always prefer) you're stuck with the hideous S5 menu. It's a cross between windows phone and a bland icon pack from MIUI. I am TRYING to upgrade my G2, but the M8 and S5 are just so bleh.

I AGREE!! And to be honest I wouldn't mind changing to a different launcher but I really don't like that my notifications do not work with any of the main stream launchers. Like when I get a text or new email the icon does not display this.
Does anyone know a launcher where icon notifications works??
Have you checked other post about this?
Are you familiar with nova launcher? If not, look it up in the app store.

I figured the S5 would work differently than other versions out there. I wanted the opinion of S5 users.

Are you asking if it will display the amount of unread messages in the notification bar? If so, the answer is unfortunately a no.

I think we are talking about the same thing, there is a messages Icon, and email icon. When I have tried other launchers on my GS5, when i receive either an email or text, normally they display a number on the actual icon on the desktop. With the custom launcher this did not happen, I can see the notification in the top bar that i have a text or email but the actual icon on the desktop does NOT display. My question was, is this the same as on Nova.
Guess I should just download and try........

You have to add Nova launcher notifier or something like that, I'm running nova and it shows how many missed emails and text messages I have. But its at the bottom of the nova download section

There's also a fantastic app in the Play Store called Missed It, which provides counter values for any app that provides notifications to the notification panel, integration with the unread counts option within Nova, and can provide counts within fully customizable widgets...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igecelabs.android.MissedIt
It's a premium app, but well worth it (for me).

Well I'm not using Google Now. I have color in all my notifications when I pull down my notification drawer like Gmail, You tube, Textra Whatsapp. Idk, maybe I'm missing what you mean. My notifications have as much color in them as the pic you posted.

The pic i posted isn't my notification bro
It's the google app by swiping from the left on home screen
I need the dynamic navigation bar that links the color of navigation bar to the page not the one that links the navigation bar to the status bar
Thanks for your time
