Sorry, How to have this kind of notification bar on my phone?
I google it and found a lot I dont understand....
Is there any simple mod to do this?
Thx a lot XX
He is using ADW Launcher, which supports the ability to hide your status-bar when on the home-screen.
He has hidden it, used a wallpaper with the rainbow thing at the top and used a Minimalistic Text widget to get the text at the top where the status-bar should be.
I have an idea ,just an idea:
I walk through the page of android theme, and I m fascinated by this kind of notification bar,

With fancy design, icons, battery state, signal..... wtever..
I m using Insertcoin , is a great rom right away, with gorgeous turn-on/off animation....united with sense 2.1+3.0, especially cater for those who love sense (Me as well)
All I want to do is to amend the apk related to the notification bar (may be rosie.....)
I m not familiar with the use of kitchen
I bring this idea waiting some devs to make it true...
See if anyone is interested with this ~ ty

I am not a developer, but I am highly skilled in common sense, and I really don't think it is as easy as replacing the SystemUI.apk.
InsertCoin is a Sense ROM, which runs differently to an AOSP ROM such as the CycaogenMod that this theme was created for.
But, like I said, I'm not a developer, so you'll have to wait for one to stumble across this thread if you want to know if it is possible to make this theme for Sense ROMs.
So I sincere wish someone could make this happen
Hi there,
I have been stumbling across some awesome CM10 themes and it's something I'd like to have although they are only for CM9 and CM10. I'm currently running rooted stock nexus 4, whats the benefits of having a rom like CM10 - does CM10 run 4.2.1? which is what im currently using?
Whats are the positives and negatives to switching?
If i switch, can I convert BACK to stock?
1. Use the search feature. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35521539
2. CM10 = Android 4.1.X....... does not support Android 4.2.X and does not support N4 (mako)
3. first link. no negatives. its like reformatting your computer. If you go to Windows 8 and don't like it, go back to Windows 7.. what are the negatives? none. just reinstall apps... use titanium backup to backup/restore apps (buy pro version)
4. Yes you can revert back to stock. Nothing is permanent on android.
......... next time, do some research before just straight up asking these questions as they are already answered.

a big positive with AOKP is the ability to add in and customize the on screen nav bar buttons. i came from a gs2. so setting this phone to have the same layout as my gs2 capacitive buttons is a real winner. you can also rearrange the order of and how many toggles there are in the quick settings drop down. there is a whole list of features that you get and the devving has only just begun.

CM10.1 (Jellybro) already has Navigation Bar changes. It's better off getting used to those three buttons IMO, menu is useless for me. I prefer having it as a touch button somewhere on the app. If not then I'll use the bottom right one.
You can arrange toggles on quick settings drop down as well on CM10.1.
CM10.1 is a ongoing project and is developing really fast without dirty hacks that AOKP does. Very clean code.

i got tired of trying to figure out how to get into settings. and even worse... nova settings. so used to it being the menu key that i had to get it back.
tried out cm. a week ago. it was behind aokp in features so i went back to aokp. couldnt speak for what it has so i gave examples of what i know.
clean code or not. aokp has always suited my needs better than cm. but thats just me.

Pull down notifications -> Tiles -> Settings. Guess I got accustomed to it on my Galaxy Nexus where there wasn't a tile button. It was just pull down notifications -> settings. It takes some time getting used to it, but it's pretty good imo. But that's the best part about android you can do it the way you like it, traditionally or the new way
I used to like AOKP but felt it was too bloated with unnecessary crap like AOKP Wallpapers (Swagpapers), unnecessary unicorn stuff etc. I prefer CM as its cleaner code and more optimal whereas AOKP does things in 'hackish' code and just like what the name implies, it's kanged from CM sources anyway.

lol. that damn pink unicorn is so old. the day it was released it got old, and every time someone tries to be cute by adding another wallpaper... i think to myself WHY!!!
one thing i loved about sticking cm on my nexus was that bad a$$ boot animation. once the first milestone get released i will definitely be checking cm out again. you are also 100% correct on the code thing. and i never thought of the meaning of kang. <--- good point.

haha yeah i was annoyed of keep having to remove AOKPClock, SwagPapers, Swag Toggle like wth... unnecessary line of code. i do love the amount of customization in there though. i used xylon on my galaxy nexus before i got my N4 (it started coming to rise at 4.2.X) its pretty customizable as well, very feature rich.
does AOKP have navigation height / width adjustments in the ROM already? i miss that feature, CM has everything I want as of right now. only missing nav height changes. can't wait for PGM for N4 though http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bZEodCnYv58#t=14s is a brief video of what it is. i love it because i dont have to use the buttons

they also just stuck in some arrow keys when the keyboard is active.
will check out that video. saw the thread in themes and had no clue what it was.

Ah I don't need arrows, I actually prefer them to be normal size. AOKP probably has this feature already, CM has a feature in which if you are on a entry field (typing) you can use volume keys.. up and down to move left and right of your words if you choose to (can be disabled).
the phone does sleep, it's built into a kernel module and uses very minimal battery life. I've used it since I saw it on the GN apps forum. if you use light flow, it probably uses the same amount of battery (or less). lightflow barely interferes with the phone's battery life.
oh that's easy.. just go to any youtube video and right click the video and click "Copy current url at current time" I figured I would save you some time and get to the point

Guys,
I've just received my Nexus 4 after deciding to give Android a try. I've always been a big fan of all the Nexus phones knowing that they're completely free of bloatware and offer a pure Android experience as it was meant to be experienced by Google.
Currently, I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 16GB but I wanted to try something different after my 24 month contract and decided it a no brainer to go for the Nexus 4 16GB especially at the price Google Play are offering it at. Also I was getting bored of iOS and fancied a change especially given that the screen size of iPhones are pretty small in comparison.
However, I just have a few questions on how to do a few simple things as below if anyone would be kind enough to answer.
1. How can I get a battery percentage like I had on the iPhone? Any recommendations that work well with the Nexus 4?
2. I just want a black ground for the wallpaper to maximise battery life. How can I do this?
3. Is there a way to add toggles to the notification bar to enable or disable Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Location, Airplane Mode, etc?

Root + a custom ROM can solve pretty much all of this (except for the background)
1.) Many custom ROM's/mods have battery percentage available as an option, so the easiest way for you to get the battery percentage is to install a custom ROM. CM10 does this perfectly. For steps on how to root + install a custom ROM, try using one of the toolkits available in the Nexus 4 Original Development section, or try to find some guides in the Nexus 4 General section or the Original Development section. I'd link you to them, but I'm on my phone right now, and its too cumbersome a task to go back and forth between the browser and the XDA app. You could pm me however, and when I'm on my computer I'd be glad to help.
EDIT: Another way you could get battery percentage is using an app from the play store -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.naeem.batterystatusnotification
It's not optimal, but it works.
2. Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure a black background vs any other non-live background won't make a significant difference in terms of battery life. I think this is because the Nexus 4 has an IPS display. Super Amoled displays, however, are a huge culprit in terms of battery life and so a black screen is beneficial to only those with samoled screens.
3) Have you tried swiping down from the notification bar using two fingers? While those only act as shortcuts, they still do work. If you're not satisfied with this, get an app on the play store called "Elixir 2" and that should suit your needs
If you need anything else, feel free to shoot me a PM

1. I would also recommend you to root your phone and install a custom ROM, there you can change the statusbar with battery and clock and so on
3. As far as I remember you even have a widget on stock ROM for toggles. And if you want them in the notifcation bar you again should use a custom ROM. Some of some can change the quicksettings to real toggles.
I would recommend AOKP ROM but thats a matter of taste.
Power toggles https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc will allow you to add some pretty looking toggle widgets to the notification bar. It also has the ability to add a the battery percentage to the status bar as a separate icon.
This is a good solution if you want to remain stock.

You need to try awesome ROMs like aokp,but READ A LOT BEFORE!!
as for the background, I'm pretty sure it doesn't make any difference, just set brightness to auto.
there's an app in the play store called 'notification toggles', which does a pretty good job at bringing toggles to the notification bar.
and i would also recommend installing a custom rom, especially CyanogenMod, because that's the closest to aosp (vanilla android) as you can get.
just search for 'mako' (the codename of the nexus 4) on get.cm, and you'll find detailed instructions on how to unlock/root your device, and install cm. i recommend using the monthly/milestone release, is quite stable and bug free.

Paul O'Brian's Modaco rom changes the factory shortcuts in the notification bar into quick toggles. You short press to toggle, or long press for the shortcut. He makes two versions of his rom. One is based on the stock rom, and the other is built on Cyanogenmod. If you subscribe to his site you can "bake" your own rom with the features you want.
Wow tanks for the quick responses guys! Wasn't expecting this many suggestions seriously. Definitely a knowledgeable community!!
Right, I've installed a widget called battery percentage which has solved my problem. It seems very accurate so far too.
In regards to the toggles, I'm very happy with the 2 finger slide down option and I've learnt something new about my phone.
Got the brightness set to manual but at the lowest setting as this is how I used to use my iPhone most times to maintain decent battery life.
I'll see if I can download a custom wallpaper app that will allow me to change it to completely black and I'm pretty much done.
As much as custom ROM's sound tempting, I think I'll leave them for now as I'm extremely happy with the way the system operates just now. Leaving it stock will allow Google updates to be installed easily too.

Black backgrounds or any backgrounds for that matter won't make a lick of difference on an IPS screen. The light is shone from behind the screen and doesn't change in intensity based on pixel variation. The AMOLED screen is an entirely different ball of wax, where lighter pixels would indeed draw more power because the light is generated by the pixels themselves instead of a backlight.

Power Toggles is a near enough essential app.. You wont regret it.. plus you can change the icon in power toggles to show your battery percentage in the notification bar.
As youre new to android youll probably find many apps that are useful and satisfy your needs, but then you might start to notice the limitations of stock, resulting in eventual rooting and finally installing custom roms etc.
I use AOKP in which you get the toggle page by one finger swiping. I also use CircleMod which is built in and gives you the opportunity to replace the stock battery icon with it.
I rooted a week after I got this phone, and after the weeks I installed my first custom ROM. This is my first Android phone btw.
Thus AOKP or CM 10.1 would be your choice.

I uninstalled Battery Percentage for Power Toggles. It pretty much ticks all the boxes for me.
As others have stated don't use a black background to save battery. That is for amoled. If you like the look go for it but don't do it for battery.
Here is the fun part. You can download a app like wallbase for all types of wallpapers. Or you can just get a picture from anywhere you like. Drag one from your computer to the phones storage. Download any image with the phone browser or app. Open the gallery and set it as your wallpaper by pressing the menu icon. Set as....
You're not gonna believe this guys, after letting the battery completely die then performing a full charge, the phone will no longer connect to my wireless network.
My iPhone & some other Windows phones work fine.
Tried a factory reset but no luck. Just can't believe it lol especially as it's a brand new handset!
Called Google up but they fobbed me off to LG support who keep telling me they'll call me back when they can.

+1 for Power Toggles. It's the best option if you remain on stock that gives you battery percentage and toggles in the notification bar - all in a matching blue color.

LG tried some troubleshooting steps with no luck.
Google said they'll need to get me to send the device back and they'll replace it when they have more stock. So back to the drawing board for me.
If there is a very big wait time, I'll just get a refund and get another iPhone.

There goes this thread. Let the trolling commence.
In all seriousness, mentioning iOS aside from 'I left it for Android' is pure trollbait. Just for future reference.
Imagination is for turbo-nerds who can't handle how kick-butt reality is!
The wifi finally came back on me all of a sudden.
I then restarted the phone to verify if there is an issue with it or not and got the same problem.
Seems like the wifi is not activating when the phone comes on even though it's activated in the o/s.

I'm looking for a rom that is as close as stock as possible. I liked Cyan and a few others, but they have their own take on the browser and some other of the gapps. I want as less bloat as possible. But with a few customizable options(like the quick settings tiles configuration option, and having just the text of the battery percentage in the status bar). I'm not looking for pie controls or anything crazy.
Quick Rundown:
Stock as possible
Customizable quick tiles
Battery percentage as text(ex: 75%) in status bar
Custom icons in navbar
I'm using Xenon HD right now, and love it. But feel like battery life could be better, as well performance, and it can be buggy at times. Plus I dislike how I have double applications, since it uses it's own gapps instead of the playstore ones.
Most of the people would tell you to just flash as many as you can and see for your self.I'm on carbon 1,6 and totally love it.it has all the things you are saying plus many more.battery is kernel related.try using Franco's for the best battery+ performance combination.

Batterylife can be stretched with a good custom kernel like Franco, Faux, Trinity and others.

I don't really understand. As far as I remember, CMs browser is stock. Your N4 should've shipped with chrome and not browser anyways. I would say cyanogenmod, but since you said it's not really what you want.. it's kinda hard to find.

Ahaa yea i have also seen it in chrome browser with paranoid, but as you say not on purpuse, more a bug.. But i think maybe the people that are more intrested in these codes and things and more experience than me should look in G2s framework and see what the can find Its transparent in the camera as you can see on pictures.
Slimbean and Odyssey have it, that's why I stick to them...I love that feature. It's my alternative to pie, trans navbar and hidden and trans sbar. I'm on Odyssey now and love it just as much as I did illusion on 4.2, illusion was also based on slim. I've attached a pic of my home screen, to give you an idea.

Slimbean and Odyssey have it, that's why I stick to them...I love that feature. It's my alternative to pie, trans navbar and hidden and trans sbar. I'm on Odyssey now and love it just as much as I did illusion on 4.2, illusion was also based on slim. I've attached a pic of my home screen, to give you an idea.

I had that feature once, don't remember the Rom but when I enabled it, it made it somewhat harder to navigate because very often the background is white or a very light color. Another option is to change the height of your nav bar in settings, other than that try PIE.
Fwiw, I prefer the lack of transparency on the nav bar in apps.

Okey. Yea i guess that feature is not ment to be working.
I have carbon now, but it hasnt the PIE, so i guess i have to go with the regular bar.
The reason is because most apps do not draw behind the status bar. So even if it is transparent. It will still show as black because there is nothing behind it.
That is why for those with the transparent notification it only works on the launcher, lock screen & a few apps.
On previous phones I have had some modifications include stretching apps out so that they are behind the status bar resulting in a transparent bar always working however I'm not sure I've seen any such mod for the nexus 4
