I also had this problem, I changed the wallpaper and that seemed to fix it. Weird. Failing that try a restart?

Customize on screen buttons

I'm sorry if this has been answered already but I was wondering if anyone knew of any app that would allow me to change the color of the on screen buttons, the glow when you press them, and the color of status bar icons. I would like to accomplish this without flashing any ROM's as i dont want to lose any data or have to reinstall anything right now. Is there anyway to do this on stock? Thanks for your help!

You can't without flashing a new ROM.

New Headphones Disconnected toast

Today I noticed that when I unplug my headphones I get a toast saying that it was disconnected.
This thing occurred today so maybe Google did what Sony did and pushed a few modified files over to all the Nexus 4's on stock without any OTA's or anything like nothing happened.
Does anyone with the stock rom get this today?
Go to http://flic.kr/p/fb5Uiy for screenshot.
Cannot upload image to XDA anymore for some reason.

I haven't seen that toast. It could be coming from an app you have installed and not the OS. Perhaps the Zoner AV you have installed.

Your right, It is the Music Tagging app, I just greenified it so it will not occur again.
This is what happens when you think too hard when there is a simple fix.

Clearly not from stock software, hardware icons go to the right with WiFi and BT.

What hardware buttons?, I am using the Google-all-clean-stock rom.
Bluetooth is off so the icon does not show which is completely normal since Android 1.5.

I never said buttons. On my G1 there use to be a headset icon indicating headphones, I can't recall if my other android devices had it tho. The BT icon was an example to emphasize where hardware based icons go relative to the status bar.

That is Google Music, you can still have that icon without earphones.
That is for changing songs from the notifications bar.
Apologies for late response, I am in Madeira at the moment and I only can get internet at certain times.

It will only work on the homescreen as this is the only app that puts something behind the status bar, go to settings>hybrid properties> slide and choose apps then on your launcher tap status bar colour
I do this but I don't know who color to choose :sly:

You choose the color for status bar and set it black (default) and use the alpha slider above. Don't forget to hit apply!
Go to: settings>hybrid properties>slide and choose interface>go to the bottom and choose "status bar color"> there is a large bar with little cubes, slide this till the end then press "new color" go back and apply. That should work.

Doing it that way I'm getting some weird looks for some apps. Think it has to do that only the launcher is able to draw under the bars...
So I'd only try setting transparency for launcher app. Works perfectly here:thumbup:
OK thanks ! I apply this only on apex and its look good
One more question , I can do this on lock screen?

Think it is the android system app that you have to change. And rebooting is recommended.
This option doesn't work , thanks !

I'm on PA right now too. And transparency on lock screen works for me atm. Don't know why it doesn't for you though.
BTW would appreciate it if you hit the thanks button rather then saying thanks:beer:

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?

Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
