"Transcluent" Notification Bar With 5.0 Gapps - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

Show notifications in ParanoidAndroid

Hi guys!
So I'm running ParanoidAndroid and loving it..
Only one question: I'm using the extended desktop mode so I can't see my notifications bar. Is there any way to quickly see my notification?

Do you want the status bar permanently enabled or not? If you change the softkey height to 0 in PA the hybrid settings, you can have the status bar and PIE controls at the same time.
Also, go into the pie controls (settings>toolbars) and change the style to quick or bare, it should be a lot faster.
plus, you can swipe up with pie to access both panels, toggles and notifications.

[Q] [Android 5.0] Status bar and Navigation bar colors

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

[Q] Any Apps/ Xposed for Theming Notification Panel (Marshmallow)

Now that Wanam Xposed is off the charts and XTouch does not sound like it will have the theming options Wanam had, is there any way to edit the Notification Panel? Green is seriously not my colour (unless we are talking eyes ) and I hate the persistent *S Finder* and *Quick Connect* icons on there. If there is no app to edit the notification panel, how about a port of the S6/ S7/ Note 5 panel? Failure to all that and I'll take a Port of S6/S7/ Note 5 Rom that stays as close to TW as possible. Anything to get out of greensville. Any links/ info is much appreciated.
P.S Rocking a rooted n910h

Try the dn5 0.6.1 rom, its a fantastic s7 port for n910H or n910C, and the status bar is white not green, and u can remove the quick connect bar if you'd like.
Its completely stock and fantastically stable. You have access to themes as well.
You wont be sorry!
try good lock version 24.0.10(a newer version exists, but keeps popping up the sidebar)
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/
it gives you a notification area similar to AOSP style, but with a lot of customization.
it has smaller buttons, notification grouping, and you can select almost any color for the theme.
the theme color is always a set of 4 colors(picking dark blue for example gives dark blue text and buttons, light blue background, and green indicators) but you can shuffle these 4 colors around for things like darker backgrounds.
it's designed by Samsung for the S7/S7edge but works fine without root on the note 4 with android 6.0.1

Automatic hide status bar

Hi,
I want to use automatic hide status bar. Im using automatic hide navigation bar like this. How i can do automatic hide status bar and use my rooted s8 full screen
Systemui tuner in play store will do it. Immersive mode. I got it in full. You can also do it as on unrooted devices. I have Xposed with gravity box which suppose to do it but doesn't. This app I found does it on the s8 and nicely. Add seconds to the clock and turn off icons. Check it out. It is by zacharee1, the app.
Here is my home screen. The status bar comes and goes with the nav bar. I hated seeing the status bar.
It is looking very nice. I cant install magisk or xposed. I tried everything and open a post in xda. But i cant use it still. I will change my rom and try to flash magisk or xposed again

Disable notifications

Hello All,
My question is that how can I disable the notification on the notification bar per app.
I just want to disable for example Viber icon and notification on the notification bar, but I want the LED notification only.
If I disable the notifications in app settings, the Viber want to enable it.
I just do not want the Viber icon on the notification bar, but the LED notification is "nice to have".
I checked the Play for this kind of apps without success.
I just surprised with this Android version, because on my old Galaxy S5 (android 6.0.1 note 7rom), this setting is available, when I long press the notification on the notification bar. I can simple disable it.
Or it is because of the Custom rom? I don't think so...
I'm using the below rom on my S5 deivce:

For better understanding I just attached some picture about my problem.
When I turn off the notification on notification bar, the app will require to enable it. On my old phone as I mentioned, it was easily to disable the notification on statusbar and on the notification panel.
Is there any solution or app for do that? For better understanding: I want the LED notification, but without notification panel notification. just hide the icons...
The last picture contains the setting what I looking for... it is from my old Samsung Galaxy S5 (note 7 custom rom) marked with red.
I was curious about the same lol and was wondering if is there a way... If I am not mistaken, there should be such option in oreo...
