Is anyone else having a problem with Experience Launcher and faded Nav/Status bars? I've tried on CM11 and Stock using G2 EXPOSED, and any time I put faded nav/status bars over the experience launcher they become full black and half height. I haven't seen anyone talking about this, and I never had a problem with this on my SGS3. So am I unique?

I haven't had this issue on that particular launcher, but its probably a conflcit with the launcher. I would try something more well known like Nova, or Go launcher, or you can use Buzz launcher, thats what I use and I love it so far.
Also make sure you are doing a reboot after making any changes in xposed. Also make sure your modules and framework are up to date.
Hope this helps, if it doesn't send a PM and I can try to help out further.

I am currently using Nova, and it has no problems with the transparency, only GEL does it. I just find it weird that GEL had transparency on my SGS3 with CM11, but on my G2 (and also just noticed on my wife's N5) that the transparency doesn't work...
--EDIT--
Even more weird, is that it isn't just exposed... no exposed on the N5, but same issue with Nav/Status Bar transparency running CM11 and GEL

can someone make a rom or theme thats stable?? ive been trying anything i could, to make my hero as authentic nexus as i possibly could ie the nexus application grid, the dots in the corner, the animation to the app drawer, the white taskbar, but i cant handle the launchers buggy-ness and i dont like helix because its just not the same...if there is one thats not a test or something thats stable out there could you please help?
thanks everyone!
I dont have "buggy-ness" using the launcher.
What do you mean?
White task bar
It has a new rosie launcher, but if using the nexus launcher you will never see it.
Do a full wipe and get DC 2.07.2.. Then flash the livewallpaper update.
You will have the nexus launcher and live wallpapers.
Then flash the above white taskbar and it will look like a nexus phone. (I think, i dont want to test)
Its also funny cuz I was googling something yesterday about the HTC desire, and every Nexus forum is trying to get HTC Sense on there rom by using Desires rom.
And you are doing the opposite.
when my phone is on standby and i turn my phone back on to the lockscreen, i unlock it and either the screen is black, or just the wallpaper shows. no icons or widgets. its like its loading them, and its takes a few seconds till they show up, and sometimes it doesnt switch screens, i have to swipe like five or so times before it recognizes my finger
Nexus launcher from the market is fantastic..
Ran good on Flipz.. But it runs incredible on DCv2.07
and is that white task bar compatable with fresh 2.0d?
thank man

THIS ONE FOR SURE SHOULD WORK
Same thing as above, but its was made for 2.0d rom
Though it should work for all damage and fresh roms.
Make a nano backup before flashing.. Just in case you dont like some of the changes, you can always go back and try something else.
Curently running ForceRom 2.1 and love it. I haved messed around with other roms and launchers but nothing else seems right for me. The only thing I want is a different set of stock system/dock icons, such as stock android icons. Is there a simple way to change 5-10 of the stock icons. Im actually not interested in a fully pimped out theme changing all apps icons since I rather like the different colors.

You may have to sacrifice something if not running a third party launcher or icon pack/theme. The easiest way right off the top of my head is to use Desktop Visualizer or a similar app. You can create shortcuts for apps and make the icon whatever you want. Might see if it will do what you want.

"Icon Changer Free" from Google Play Store. Works flawlessly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad

Yep, this works nicely and is simple! Now able to change out stock icons on dock. Just wanted to change Icon appearance from the millions of others without affecting or adding unwanted functionality. Thanks!
I tried searching for this but couldn't find it so sorry if it's a repeat. The status bar and navigation buttons are transparent when at the stock home screen. Is there any way at the moment to keep this going when using 3rd party launchers such as Apex? I understand it's the phone reading it as having an app open, therefor disabling of transparency, but I'd love to have that feature on the home screen of other launchers.
I noticed that the status bar only seemed to be transparent when an LG bg is used. Use a picture, and it is shaded. Also seems related somehow to the color of the buttons, but have not figured it out yet.
I am an Apex fan, but I think I will wait a bit before trying it.
Depends on where you get backgrounds

I believe it depends on where you get the images, if you get them from an app. I was using an app called Backgrounds HD and every time I applied one, it wouldn't scale it properly and the status bar and nav buttons would be black. If I uninstalled the app and used one called Picspeed, they worked just fine with transparency on the stock launcher.
Hi there, I wasn't able to find an answer to this and didn't want to hijack the "GEL coming to all 4.1+ devices?" thread under General..
When I first upgraded my Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi) tablet to KitKat and installed the GEL/latest Google Search - I had the transparent navigation bar AND status bar. However today I noticed the navigation bar at the bottom is no longer transparent, while the status bar at the top still is.
The only thing I can think of that I've changed is I've rooted my tablet with the latest SuperSU. Anyone have some ideas? Once I get home tonight I'll try unrooting it and see if that fixes it, but that seems rather odd it would break that.
Curious if anyone else has noticed this or knows of a fix? Thank you.
Install the GEL launcher again (just the launcher) and you will get it, it'll only be transparent on the homescreen though.
And unless you use Google Now a lot and perform A LOT of google searches, GEL is completely useless if you ask me.

I will try that out when I get home tonight - makes sense.
Agreed on the Launcher on all accounts - but I actually do use Now quite a bit, and love the voice capabilities. And the transparency is oh so purty :victory: Definitely not for everyone, I can see why Google hasn't pushed it out yet. My only beef is the missing Play store button at the top right corner of the app list
There is the launcher extracted from Nexus 5

hey guys, i've been looking for ages but can't find what i'm looking for, was wondering if anyone knows where i could find a mod, to replace the touchwiz home screen's carousel effect with the new s5/old icecream sandwich "card stack?" effect without using another launcher, i'm looking for a flashable zip or a xposed framwork module that can be used on touchwiz, sumthin like this must surely exist?
thanks

Wanam offers three minor tweaks to TW launcher (among many other valuable phone tweaks):
1 – infinite scrolling on/off
2 – wall paper scroll with pages on/off
3 – dock icon labels on/off

I’m not so sure. Using Xposed to tweak the stock launcher seems like unnecessary overkill (considering the huge doorway into your phone's security that you give to every dev who's module you install). People who want to customize launchers generally go with alternate launcher. Then you don't even have to reboot to try out changes (like Xposed would have to). Nova would be my recommendation. I know it’s not the recommendation you’re looking for but you got it anyway.

this is exactly what i figured, i found those options in exposed but not quite what i'm lookin for.
i used nova launcher on my s3 for a year and loved it, i just want to keep my high def lookin stock touchwiz icons since the nova launcher icons look like they belong in the 90's, i seen a stock touchwiz icon looking pack for nova launcher but they didn't have that "high def" look/feel to them (no shadows/reflections? or bad shading? on the icons, i dunno they just look bland compared to stock icons where they feel kinda 3d)
the reason i don't wanna use nova launcher is because if i do use nova launcher and go back to that stock android feeling i midaswell be on stock android itself, GPE or Cyanogenmod and it feels to bland which is why i'm on a touchwiz based rom.
i'm just kinda hopeing someone will come along with an idea of how i can impliment this without removing touchwiz launcher, ORRR maby get the real stock touchwiz icons (the acual stock ones, not just look alikes) into nova launcher.
