I have, for example, Gmail 5.0 running. Looks great - but the notification bar isn't red when Gmail is open (like on my N5) , isn't grey when Drive is open, blue w/ documents, etc.
Is there a way to change that?
I only know this through an xposed module which colors your notification bar.
Would be good to know if you are on stock rom or not and rooted or not.
Stock rom doesn't have this feature. Especially not the nexus 10 which even hasn't got the translucent navigation and notification bar.

Purity + ART enabled
Lollipop has ART enabled by default, so there goes Xposed...
I just flashed the LRX21T factory image on my Nexus 4 and I am loving it!
Few observations and questions regarding status bar and navigation bar coloring:
1. On home screen (default launcher), the status bar and navigation bar are black. Am I missing a setting to make it translucent? Or is that not possible on N4?
2. Some stock apps, like Gmail, Play Store, Settings, Phone, Contacts are able to change the status bar color (albeit not as good as Tinted-Status-Bar) but they don't change navigation bar color. Is this expected? Or am I missing a setting again?
3. Other stock apps like Hangouts, Chrome, Calendar, Youtube are not able to change either status bar or navigation bar colors. Is this expected? Or missing something?
4. Other non-stock apps, like gReader Pro etc. are not able to change status bar or navigation bar. This is definitely expected
I am just so used to Xposed+Gravitybox+Tinted-status-bar trio to customize fine details and colorings, that I am getting bothered by these things.
Waiting for a N4-Lollipop root to arrive soon, and official Lollipop support for Xposed/GravityBox/TSB.
Any tips for getting rid of the above annoyances while I wait for the Xposed?
Thanks!
I think it might be problem of your wallpaper,try to zoom in and set it again

Not using any custom wallpaper. Picked from one of the stock ones. Tried changing, no dice.
I don't think it has anything to do with wallpaper. Do you mean to say that on your Nexus 4 you are able to see translucent status bar and nav bar on home screen? Can you post a pic?
I noticed this too. I had transparent nav and notification bars in 4.4.4, but lost them on the home screen after flashing 5.0. I'm also using the stock wallpaper.
You guys need to install Google now launcher
Install Google Now Launcher from the Play Store.
Yes, that was it, I had to reinstall Google Now launcher, it didn't return with the rest of my apps.
I'm pretty sure the app disparity is because just like translucence in KK, the colored bars are turned on by the app developers. Not all of Google's apps are updated yet to reflect the new APIs, or you haven't yet been selected for rollout.
I plan to keep using Nova Launcher, so I don't care about the stock launcher black status bars.

1. It is the AOSP launcher. Google has to include that because Android is also available for parties who are yet to be Gapps-approved so they at least has a launcher when the system boots, as Google Now Launcher is based on Google Search, and Google Search is part of the Google Apps Package. The AOSP launcher hasn't receive much change, if not none, since the introduction of transparent status/navigation bars. So you will need to install Google Now Launcher or third-party launchers. Still, since this is obviously a nexus image, Google should have installed it by default for a better user experience.
2. This is correct behaviour. Google did not intend to colour the nav bars for now in their Google Apps, and intention is unknown, probably less intrusive? Still, app developers can now colour both bars in their app for any user running un-rooted lollipop, so you may expect any app to do that.
3. These are expected.
Hangouts is yet to receive any material update despite many other apps did, and hopefully it will receive one soon.
Youtube hasn't received its full material redesign yet, as you can clearly tell from inside the app.
For Chrome, the status bar colouring is reserved for web developers who enables HTML Tags for their websites (See Android Police post for more details). So if a website did not have that feature, the status bar will be black.
For Calendar, they are probably working on deciding the proper colour, since different months have different theme-images at the top of tablets. Also, your calendars are colour-coded so they probably don't want to disturb your viewing experience with a specific colour on the status bar.
4. As said in point 2, it will require a little update from the app developer to enable colours.
Without custom roms or xposed, there won't be a solution at all, unless you download some highly customisable apps like various third-party launchers or Whatsapp Plus which allows you to set your own colours for the bars. For now let's wait for the app developers (including Google) to update. Hope I have solved your frustrations and happy lollipopping!
What an amazing response Miasmic! Thank you for taking the time to write such a crystal clear explanation. This is why XDA-dev forums are a class apart
I've searched everywhere and I'm unable to find an answer to this....
My wife intermittently gets this "mystery" notification icon from time to time which essentially duplicates notifications such as sms, hangouts, emails, instagram, etc...
Does anyone know what this is and how to disable it? I'm not aware of any third party notification handler installed on her S5, so I can only assume it's something standard in stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump*
Anyone?
Sometimes my wife will have that same icon appear more than once up top in the notification bar, and when swiping it down it will reveal more than one duplicate notification. I just want to know if the icon is a "standard" icon for miscellaneous notifications when there is more than one, or if there is something else going on that I need to look into. Again, it is intermittent and happens once or twice a day on average.
More info:
Model: SM-G900W8
OS: stock 4.2.2 (rooted)
Mods: Wanam and several other Xposed modules, Nova Launcher, custom icons, etc...
It's from Greenify

It's genrated by Greenify when auto-hibernation had failed.
I'm having issues with xiaomi android:
1.
Some icons: ie. chrome, gmail, messenger have white background. Even in non-default launcher. How to force device to use standard application icons? But apps from xiaomi itself have transparent backgrounds (ie. settings)
What I googled is all outdated:
Themes - can't start in my region, so I changed region to HK (some bloatware installed, so anyone else - don't do it, trust your instinct, not someone on internet ), opened themes, downloaded limitless, it is same icons - I thought it would not work, it did not, it only installs bloatware.
Typical "advice" on forum ... please don't answer like that.
2.
I would like to uninstall some default apps.
Even apps like gmail and chrome are, system or something and I guess xiaomi still manages it somehow and for example gmail - even if I allowed it in autostart and set it as no restriction in battery I still sometime receive notification about emails with tens of minutes of delay.
Still some apps I just want to uninstall.
3.
Default weather app not updating weather on home screen until I lunch it and refresh. All automatic updates apart from [do not update between 23 and 7] are enabled, no restriction in battery manger (not possible to set even ), autostart allowed.
Hello Everyone!
In the present year. I see that the development of roms for this terminal is too low, we only have 2 Cyanogenmod roms that continue today in bootloop, despite the efforts of some contributors in this forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-s-iii-mini-value-edition-gt-i8200-t3432885
Not to mention that there are other roms that are only modifications to the system, based on Samsung's own touchwiz, in that version, jellybean, which as we know, is not compatible with many applications of Google play today. Therefore, I have spent some time developing modifications that can improve the appearance of the user interface of this terminal, based on the Stock System, so as not to have to resort to the "roms" that would deviate a bit in performance..
Compatibility:
GT-I8200N/L/Q
Requirements:
TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery
Root
REMEMBER TO DO A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG ON THE INSTALLATION
First, install this deodexed rom, because we need a lot of free space in the system partition. You can find the zip file here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/rom-deodex-rom-goldenvess-3gxx-t2990545
Remember to say thanks to the developer
Next, install Baroni kernel with odin, that is alocated in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/kernel-baroni-kernel-alpha-t2976241
Next, just start the system with normality, complete the setup wizard, here we start
We need the following apps for this
Solid Explorer (I reccomend this app, but you can use any other Root Explorer)
Link2SD
Wait at least 10 minutes after the startup for the Google Play Services Update
In Solid Explorer (or any other) go to this path: /system/ and replace the build.prop with the file below, and restart. (After startup, a Android Update Notification shows, this happens because the build.prop makes Google Play Services think that we have a Pixel 3 XL, don´t install the update, or you want that the Earth explode? xD) This is useful for add compatibility for some Google apps that we have to install for the Google AOSP Style. Like Chrome, Earth, Messenger, Photos, Keep, etc.
Next, in Solid Explorer, go to /system/app/ folder, and delete the next packages (Avoid to delete the Touchwiz home, because we need it after):
All font packages
All Samsung Packages (except phone and contacts)
Bloatware apps
Now download and copy the .apk files below in the /system/app/ folder with -rwxrwxrwx (777) permissions.
Now, delete the app data of Play Store and Google Play Services, open Play Store and install this Google Apps:
Google App
Google Chrome
Google Photos
Google Text-to-speech
Google Keep
Google Calendar
All Play Apps (Music, Movies, Books, Games)
Google Messenger
Now, with Link2SD integrate all installed apps in the /system partition.
Next, fully shutdown your phone for 5-10 minutes (I´m sure that the phone is to 2000ºC after all of that modifications xD)
Start your phone and install Xposed Installer (Don´t worry, you can install Xposed like an AOSP phone, because this touchwiz variant doesn´t have much differences)
Before restarting after installation, download the following Modules:
Gravitybox (JB)
Wanam Xposed (Jellybean)
Monster UI
DroidTint
Remember to activate this modules after rebooting for save time, this process is too long, but, looks nice after all
After reboot, go to Gravitybox, in the status bar settings, go down and activate "Use lollipop signal icons", and up, in the status bar colors section, activate the "colored icons" option, and configure the icon color to white (#ffffff), next, in the start page, go to transparency settings and set all to 100%.
In Monster UI, set the primary and secondary colors to pure google blue (ff0076ff). In the framework settings, do the same with switchers, checkboxes, progressbar and seekbar. And finally, in SystemUI TW settings, disable status bar icons; extended status bar, and recent panel (optional).
Finally, in Wanam Xposed, go to notification panel settings, and set the clock size to small, the default position is right, but if you want, you can set it to the left for a better look. And this is the good part, the notification panel personalization, really, it looks really nice
Go to theme settings
Set the header background color to dark gray (ff292929)
Use the same color for: Notification Background, Title Bar Background, Clear Button Background, Bar Color, Background Color and Tile Background Color
Use the white color (e5ffffff) for: Title Bar Text Color and Icon Color
Enable: Hide no notifications title bar, divider line and handle divider line.
Remember that in DroidTint you just disable the darker tint and that´s all.
Restart and enjoy you brand new system
Optional:
Copy the boot and shut animations from Pixel in /system/media/ that are located in the same link below.
Change the lcd density in the build.prop file to 225 and restart.
Add the following lines in the build.prop file for a better boot and shut animations perfomance
boot.fps=30
shut.fps=30
Here are all the needed files:
