I did a little research and wanted to know if I really have the right info regarding wallpapers and the notification bar.
Please: no need to tell me to root or to use an alternative launcher. I am well-versed in both, but I remain interested in staying stock and using the default laucher.
So, is it the case that:
- The only way to have a transparent notification bar (it looks great) is to use the stock, LG-supplied wallpaper?
- There is no way to add to the stock wallpaper collection?
Thanks in advance.
I have the exact same question as OP
I currently use Xposed and Gravitybox for transparent action bar (nav. bar) and status bar, but only for home screen mode. In lockscreen the bars show wallpaper of homescreen not set lockscreen wallpaper

Thanks ZenWan - but Xposed is only for rooted devices, right?
Although I have plenty of experience with rooting and custom ROMs on previous phones, I really want to keep my G2 completely stock.
Aye, I believe it only works with rooted devices. But fair enough, understand your reason ^_^

There's ZOR over at the Theme's section who makes his own themes. Chose's his own wallpapers and icons and all and still has transparent as stock. I saw in one of a couple pages that he posted a link on to how he made them. that could be another way to achieve that. I myself wanted to keep but my impatience made me root; xposed and now i have that and way more options. are you afraid to void your warranty?

How do you change the app icon picture? I am rooted and running cyanogen nightly 110 with launcher pro. Yes I can change the dock icon but not the screen icon, it does not give you anything option to change to custom icon.......This question only few of you might know what I'm talking about.
Check out desktop Visualizer in the market.

thanks man
if you are rooted and not afraid of getting you hands dirty a bit, you can try using ninjamorph to change the icon permanently. It can replace any files you would like within a given application. If you like customization i recommend trying it. Ive changed icons, different color rosie buttons, and also icons in the status bar.
I've looked and not been able to find, but has anyone created a sideloading app for this?

i believe that after the new update, it enables a semi-transparent status bar which works with all wallpapers. I heard that if you want to keep root, don't update, but I guess this is one way to get the new status bar :silly:

You could always try a launcher... Like Apex that allows for a transparent notification bar.

Only if you run samsung wallpapers.
Nova launcher also gives you the option of a trans status bar..no matter what wallpaper you use.

With the latest update, all wallpapers are supported with a semi-transparent status bar (even on the Touchwiz Home launcher).

Since you're rooted you can use autohide soft keys from the Play Store. It hides the Nav bar and you activate it by swiping up from the bottom. It takes ten minutes to get used to it. And while you're at it..You can hide the status bar on a per app base with the app settings module. You have to install the xposed framework first (and put the uninstaller on your sd, search it here on xds). You can then activate the status bar on swipe with smart status bar from the store.
Might take a while to set up this from scratch, but you end up with a screen without any buttons or bars as long as you don't call them. You asked for the transparent Navbar, I recommend the invisible one. See Screenshot to see what my nova settings, my browser (and every other app on my phone) look like, with bars hidden and bars called.

Its a wallpaper that comes with the G2. When you select a wallpaper, you can choose it as an option for where you want to get your wallpaper for.
I can confirm this works for me as well. Im using Action Launcher, and the status bar is transparent when i use Multi-Wallpaper.
the aicp rom for verizon phones does this. its awesome. not sure if its avail for tmo.

Did you mean "multi-photo" mode to set wallpaper? I've tried it on Apex Launcher but the navigation bar didn't become transparent [and yes I've enabled transparent bar in the display setting already]. Am I missing something here?

Hi is there a way to use nova laucher icons for the lockscreen shortcuts?it always uses stock icons instead and it really bugs me lol
You can use unicon to set icon pack as default ... But it doesn't allow you the ability to set individual apps
Are you wanting to do this with AOSP or the stock ROM? With AOSP you could extract icons from whatever pack you wish to use. Make a new folder in SDcard/Pictures. And paste them there. After a reboot or two they'll show up. Then select them from the Gallery when choosing your custom lock screen icons. You can get really fancy and change the actual lock icon to match your other icons too. That requires a little more work though.
Not to be that guy but it is best practice to read thread stickies before posting.
If you can give us more info on your current setup, it would be helpful.
Thanks unicon did it ...thanks danial.aw and i was stock kk using nova just to be more precise

Unicon is amazing. If you're in the beta there's new features that are super sweet. Custom Icon assignment is flat out awesome.
Hi,
I am using Nova launcher with my Note 4.
I have not enabled the setting 'Transparent Notification Bar " but sometimes my notification Bar becomes transparent and to restore it
to non transparent, I have to restart Nova launcher.
Anybody else with the same bug ?

I am also using Nova launcher for a long time, which app will trigger this problem ?

Understand that if the wallpaper in white color, it is the same as the color with the status bar icon, I will prevent to choose some wallpaper like this.
Sorry that I don't have s-cover, don't know why your problem =)

I am rooted but I don't remember if you can enable it with a non rooted device.. You can find this setting in «Look and feel»
from the Nova Settings.
