The problem:
Android 4.4 Kitkat introduced a wonderful new opportunity: translucent bars.
It's as simple as adding the following to your theme:
Code:
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
Awesome, right? Well, almost.
The thing is, if you happen to have an ActionBar (like 99.9% of apps out there) than it won't automatically extend behind the status bar: the status bar will be translucent and the window background will be showed...
A picture is worth a thousand words:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There are many ways to fix this programmatically or with some wise layouts, but when the application is launched or recreated only the theme will be used (before loading ANY code or layout) and the problem will still be annoyingly present.
The solution:
In the repository at the end I show how to achieve an illusion of "ActionBar extension" (look at the code to see what it means). It is unfortunately more of a hack than a proper solution, but that is due to the fact that the required components (namely @android:dimen/status_bar_height and the ability to create custom drawables, as the ones provided are barely usable and highly bugged) have been banned by the Gods.
Please use it with careful consideration and don't blame me if your device explodes or you cat conquers the world!
The extra mile:
While I was there I took the opportunity to create a simple Activity that removes the hacky window background and does things properly in order to eliminate any overdraw.
It's supposed to be a starting point, though I hope to make it into a real library someday.
Before:
After:
Notes:
I will start using a variation of this code in my apps along with a "secret agent" that will notify me if it ever encounters a device with a status bar bigger than 25dp (if it's smaller or not at the top, it won't be a problem as it will get drawn behind the ActionBar).
If such a thing happens, I will update this accordingly.

Great job, Takhion

cool, is this like a tinted statusbar module from Xposed framework??
Sorry, but how to use this?!
Wonderful!
Can please explain how to use those lines of code?
Many people who know how to compile/decompile an apk will like to try by themselves.
Thanks for this wonderful gem
didnt get it though !!
I'm kinda confused...all my apps have the black transparent status bar except for Google Now. I've never seen the issue this fix seems to address, I just always have a black status bar when in apps.

Well the final result is similar, although you don't need the Xposed framework but just "simple" Android 4.4 and it's something to implement while developing an app, not for every installed app
This is not for end users. This is for app developers folks!

Ok I see there is some confusion here, I'll try to be more clear: this is not something intended to automatically "fix" third party applications; it is a "design pattern" to use when developing your own apps in order to give the effect of the extended ActionBar at the theme level, something I have never seen done before. For example take a look at Trello or PushBullet apps, when you start them the status bar is black or has a different color than when the Activity actually starts: that's because they put "something" behind it either programmatically or with some layout, but are unable to so just with the theme, like I was able to achieve here.
In order to be seen it requires Android 4.4 KitKat and a device compatible with translucent bars (everything except the Nexus 10, as far as I know)!

I understand, but the OP says that 99.9% of apps use the translucent status-bar...however I've never seen the translucent status-bar(except in Google Now), or the problems associated with it.
I would love for all apps to take advantage of the translucent Navigation Bar & Status Bar the way Google Now does.

Haha, you are correct I mis-quoted you. I was under the impression however that you meant that the apps that have the action-bar suffer from the new status-bar.
Does this fix then mean most apps will start to take advantage of the new translucency?
EDIT: I saw your response and I understand that this is for developers making apps. I was just under the impression apps already had issues and this fixed them(if the dev applied it to their app). So hopefully with this post more apps will start having translucent statusbars!

You obviously need KitKat (and not be on the Nexus 10): try to kill the app, then launch it and watch closely the status bar... You should see it's light gray for a moment and then takes whatever color the ActionBar is (blue for Trello and green for PushBullet)!

Oh that's what you ment! I thought you were saying that it stays like that When you open XDA Premium (if you have it and this happens at least on Nexus 5) the navigation bar does that also and it's weird!

Please give us a review when you can mate !
So i tested it. It Seems to be based on CM11s, because it has seems to have all its features (hardware/softwarebuttons toggle, the phone setup screen, theme engine with hexo theme, double tap to wake etc.)
Everything is translated except 4 (5 with keyboard) new apps (propably because its just themed cm11)
It comes pre-rooted with super user in settings.
The theme chooser isnt accessible normaly but i got a notification from a theme update which linked to the theme chooser
Features:
- nice design
- toggleable app drawer (standard disabled so you have only homescreens like in miui but shortcuts are removable and then not accessible with disabled drawer)
- All pop-ups appear on the bottom of the screen
- Changed about phone screen
- Shades app (really just like the Brightness toggle in quick settings)
- File manager with ftp and root support (but i couldnt get do /data)
- pre installed terminal emulator
- Now Browser as standard browser
There are 5 new Apps:
- Some sort of Hub app. I couldnt figure out what it does
- iFlytek Input ( a keyboard, its pretty crappy if you ask me)
- App China (probably the app store because there are no gapps)
- A music player (auto album cover download and theme support, changable accent color)
Screenshots:
http://imgur.com/a/aJb5F
Here are /system/app and /system/priv-app dump. Interesting are probably the launcher, the theme and the shades app
Dev-Host (attachment wasnt working)
In conclusion this is pretty much just a pre-themed cm11s with some small nice additions and disabled theme manager
Also been running this and have switched back to IUNI as I'm experiencing some bugs which make fundamental operation a problem and frustration.
No doubt they'll be fixed over time but right now, for me, this is not ready as a daily driver. Not close.
1. Some text is not visible. That is, it's near white on a white background. Theme needs some ATD.
2. As above when setting a pattern lock, there's no way to what you're set pattern is - it's a stab in the dark (white on white again). Found this out when setting up a VPN which requires a pass code or pattern, which leads me to....
3. VPN was not working. No problems on other ROMs or devices so I know the provider is OK. Maybe a CM issue.
4. Rotation lock is messed up. Lock it and it only works in some apps. File manager ignores it and goes into landscape mode which the makes the launcher go landscape too but then doesn't rotate back even if you disable rotation lock and the phone itself. To fix it, I have to go into something that obeys rotation lock (settings) and back out again. Or sleep/wake. Very tedious.
5. AppChina (?) FCs on boot. Easy to delete with RE I suppose but odd on first clean boot.
This was after only a few hours but: a) I need a VPN; b) I was tired with the messed up orientation issues.
Maybe give it another try in a month or two after a bit more polish.

Oh you have to sign it. Get ZipSigner from the playstore and sign it with that.
Then it should work
I thought I would start a thread for z3 compact owners who have rooted, to share what Xposed modules you are running (assuming you are indeed running Xposed - if you are rooted and you're not running Xposed, you should be!)

- Disable Desk Clock (I have a Moto 360 as my desk clock!)
- GravityBox (of course!)
- KitKat SD Card Full Access
- Lollipop Navigation Bar
- ScreenOffAnimation
Please add yours!

Xperia Xposed + GravityBox
Do Xperia Xposed and GravityBox overlap in features? I've read that GravityBox offers a ridiculous number of customisations, but does not completely work with the Z3C. Would it be advisable to just choose one (either GravityBox or Xperia Xposed) and forgo the other?

Gravitybox has more customisations, and suprisingly most of them worked on the Z3C (D5803). However, after certain features were enabled (could not pinpoint which ones), the phone started to lag. It was very noticeable when switching applications and opening recent apps - so I remained with Xperia Xposed & XBlast

Maybe yes! About GravityBox module, I just know it is an outstanding all-in-one module.
Modules can conflict each other due they try "hooking" sometimes same method!
I can better say about my own, it was completely written over Z3's framework files as its basis, and it was meant just for Xperia devices running sony stock fw.
Guys, not sure if this is the right section to post this to, but since you all are experienced xposers here it goes:
Is there a xposed module that can increase the size of text boxes? You know, when on Whatsapp or FB or even just the normal sms app I would like to be able to see more than just the usual 3-4 rows while typing.

Have been to Apple phones for a longer time (iPhone I got from work), totally missed this Xposed thing...
Thank you, I am using it with Gravity Box enabled now. It has some cool features.
Modules which have not been mentioned:
Heads up Notifications
MinMinGuard
Smooth System Progress Bar
All Notifications Expanded
heres a detialed list of what i use:
20MP superior - allows multiple resolutions for the superior auto mode (including 20mp obviously ).
Blurred System UI - makes ui translucent/transparent in quicksettings/notification panel/tasker.
ChromePie - Adds pie controls to chrome(note as to when I'm writing this, ver 0.3 isn't working on z3c download v0.21).
Complete Action Plus - a more flexible complete action with menu.
CrappaLinks - Allows apps to use shortened links.
Disable Desk Dock - when using a magnetic charger disables the screen rotation.
DoubleTapToSleep - double tap to sleep on your statusbar.
GravitiyBox - This one has a lot of features some work on the z3c and some don't. Specifically I use:
Lockscreen -> double tap to sleep (double tap on lock ring puts device to sleep)
Navigation Bar Tweaks -> Disable camera icon on lockscreen.
Power Tweaks -> Proximity Wake Up - this basically fixes the "overly sensitive screen" bug, no more pocket wake up. been looking for this one for ages.
Physical Button Music Control - this one gives a lot of options to customize your physical buttons to work with your music.
Smooth System Progress Bars - Allows customization of the progress bar(color/width/style etc..)
VolumeSteps+ - changes how many ticks EACH of your volumes has (small note since i derped with this one - more ticks = less change per tick, I for one thought the opposite :silly: ).
XBlast Tools - this one also has a ton of feature but I've found them to be quite buggy, so I used this just to change my carrier text in notification panel.
XPrivacy - gives you the control over what information an app can access (it feeds fake information to apps that demand certain info).
XPrivacy in App info.
Xperia Xposed - best UI customization app for the z3.
YouTube AdAway - bye bye ads.
I was quite disappointed by the update and I am thinking about rolling back on Kitkat. Those are my main concerns with Lollipop, feel free to share yours or your solutions/workarounds. So do not install Lollipop if:
You care about homescreen widgets, indeed in Lollipop you can have notifications on the homescreen but it is all or nothing. You can't just have whatsapp or email for example. If you select no notifications, there is not even an icon in the status bar.
You want to use Xposed or Xprivacy. Indeed xposed is buggy and xprivacy does not work well (if you can install it without bootloops, which I couldn't)
You would like an efficient app switcher, this kind of drawer in Lollipop just complicate things, do not provide a good overview but that's my point of view. In addition it does not come with the close all button on every customizations
You don't want a blue notification bar which looks too bright in apps
You care about battery life. Indeed it seems that Lollipop is buggy and has some memory leaks which slow down the system and make it use more CPU I was wrong about this one, while there are memory leaks they do not seem to affect battery life significantly
If you want to be able to switch on silent/airplane mode from the power off menu
if you want to keep ‘hi-res audio via usb’ ... as its gone in Lollipop. | reported by Scoobidu
if you liked the ability to go to relevant settings (wifi for example) by a long tap (on the wifi icon) in the control centerstill possible if you tap the name and not the icon, my bad

I approve everything that you said, my suggestion for everybody is to update to lollipop only when they'll make a 5.1 update that solves the cpu and memory problem.

Battery is the same. Performance is better. Especially on 726. Even benchmarks prove it.
You can change the theme to change the colour of the bar.

Yeap, battery for me is quite the same, I am regreting because of xposed. But haopy because finally I can change from landscape to portrait easily and faster. Animations rock and the old statusbar sucked. New lockscreen is way better than the old one. And double tap to sleep works faster too. All while battery being a bit better than before.

Yes Xposed is the biggest loss, you can install the alpha version of Xposed, maybe it will work I am not sure why it caused a bootloop for me (might also be older modules) the only catch is that you might have to reflash /system through the recovery (step 40 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343) in case of bootloop but you don't loose your data/apps.

I was quite disappointed by the update and I am thinking about rolling back on Kitkat. Those are my main concerns with Lollipop, feel free to share yours or your solutions/workarounds. So do not install Lollipop if:
You don't want a blue notification bar which looks too bright in apps

I have already rolled back to kitkat.. I prefer the UI and everything i need is compatible and working how it should ..
I have to say I didnt enjoy my experience with lollipop and can't see myself attempting the update again..
There were just no benefits for me other than it felt a tiny bit more snappier.
Poor/rushed effort from Sony in my eyes, they could of done alot better.

Even I've rolled back to KitKat.. I love the lollipop animation and the fact that is quicker, but not having the possibility to have more quicksetting (using Serajr Xposed App) and using many GB setting is a a enormous loss for me (and I hate the new silent mode on lollipop!) .. If CM didn't have the photo problem because of the loss of the algorithm, I would installed immediately . For now I'll stay on KitKat, waiting for having back the xposed modules at full potential. Just my thoughts and experience anyway!

Notifications are a mess on Lollipop, either you have your lock screen full of notifications or nothing. You can just have icons in the status bar as on KitKat. As for the the silent mode of Lollipop, regular modes are also available if you put it on "normal ringer" and you click the speaker it will go on vibration instead. That said the power off menu is crappy too, no possiblity to put on silent, no possbility to put on flight mode.

You would like an efficient app switcher, this kind of drawer in Lollipop just complicate things, do not provide a good overview but that's my point of view. In addition it does not come with the close all button on every customizations
You don't want a blue notification bar which looks too bright in apps
If you want to be able to switch on silent/airplane mode from the power off menu

You can still silent mode by pressing the volume button.
The themer a lil useless for me now, not sure if its the same for you guys but i theming changes nothing much other than minor colors, the nav bar seems to be unable to theme.
Agreed that the app switcher is not as efficient.
Anyways if you feel the animations a lil not your taste what i did was to set it to 0.5 in developer option. =)
Yes, you can change using the volume button but then you have to unlock the phone, press volume, press silent. Before you just pressed power, silent. Much better in a meeting were you forgot to silence it.
I was wrong, you can silence it while locked.
Love the device but I can't seem to find a way to disable heads up notifications! The system UI tuner cannot be activated by holding the gear icon on the T-Mobile V20. Any help ?

I'm looking for the same answer, I'd prefer a bit more granular control of my notifications as the options available aren't enough. All I'd want to do is hide the "peek" option.
Seems like you have to go to the app specifically and tap notification from there you can hide them for that app.

How did you turn on battery percent?
In the battery section in settings there's a toggle

None of these settings are just for peek, you'd need access to the System UI Tuner for a slightly more granular adjustment. I would still want to be notified with a sound/vibration, I'd just want to hide peek which gets in the way when I'm doing other things on the phone.

Bumping because I am looking for the capability to do the same thing. For some reason they (ATT and/or LG) have blocked the System UI tuner which allows for blocking peeking notifications while keeping the sound and vibrations. Android not having a simple option to globally disable peeking is greatly annoying.
If there is no way to enable the System UI tuner is there another way to disable peeking notifications on the LG V20 while still allowing vibration/noise? Silent notifications are almost as useless as peeking/heads up notifications.
LG has. There has never to my knowledge has there been a LG device that has had it since it was introduced.

System UI Tuner is a special option, that has to be enabled (akin to Developer Options), added to Android M and above so barely any phones have it. Some carriers and manufacturers have disabled it on those that do, such as the V20.
Regardless of the System UI tuner there should be some other way on the LG V20 to disable peeking per app or globally. We are just trying to find a way on the LG V20 without also having to silence sound/vibration. There also does not seem to be an app to take care of the issue since those like HeadsOff are no longer compatible.
Does app info in application manager help with certain apps?

All you are able to do is what was linked above in the screenshot.
-Block (No notifications)
-Show silently (no sound, vibrate, or peek)
-Lock screen notifications (all, sensitive, none)
-Priority (yes/no)
Am looking for this too it's driving me nuts anyone? It was present on galaxy note 7
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
add me to the list
this is an unbelievable situation, its driving me crazy.. i did lots of experiments and researches, still no solution, appearantly its an app based and not a general thing, i dont know why, apps and Andriod N.. Whatsapp in my case will be the exmaple
My conclusion is based on the below tests and readings:
- All my whatsapp settings are set to vibrate and/or sound, but no pop up
- Am using Novo launcher, so i thought the launcher is the problem, however, tried the default one, but still pops up
- surprisingly, Textra app, Telegram app, some other calendar apps, doesn't show a pop up peek if u disabled it from the app itself. keeping the sound and vibrate on as wanted.
- I sent to whatsapp an email, but the email they replied with was useless and didnt address the problem itself
- i tried few apps at the play store, but all of them didnt work, as non is built for Andriod N
- the only way is what mentioned in this thread, where you will block the notification alert and show it silently, and thats not what we want.
- Yes the UI Tuner is not activated and cant be activated in this device
The End result, its a problem in these specific apps with Andriod N, and its the problem from LG not activating the UI Tuner, if only there is a way to communicate with LG and force them to solve this problem.
Glad to hear others thoughts..
Dear all,
I can confirm that i was able to block the headsup using adb commands. Refer and search through the forums here at xda, few threads explained it.. Easy in 30 min done
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
You're welcome.
You should still get the ticker-like notification in the second screen.
thanks it works

Yes am still getting the ticker and thats a very useful feature in LGv20, i dont mind that as long as the headsup is disabled.
Ok now how do we get the notification to show longer in the second screen? Most my apps time out in about 2 seconds with the exception of the stock messaging app, and bluemail (both show for approx 5 seconds)...

Its using adb, and u have to read about it and installing on ur PC then connecting the phone and doing the process and commands. There r threads in the forums of how to do it..
Amd ues the popup still shows up on the second screen
