Hello everyone,
I have the last CyanogenMod 12 nightlie build (cm-12-20150207-NIGHTLY-jfltexx). My phone is a I9505.
I have a problem with the status bar and the notification drawer, because they are not as large for the screen ! (look at the attached files)
I have tested many Lolipop roms and I still have this problem.
Do you think it is really a bug, or a very ugly choice from google?
Can I enlarge them to match with my screen's witdth?
Thanks a lot for your answers all.
Since it's the same on multiple roms it must be how the OS is. Common sense.
That's how the design is. That's how google made it look.
Maybe samsungs touchwiz will be different.

So Actually I was going to write a thread about the two themes present in the samsung's TouchWizUI: White and Blue.
My Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 i.e. tab shows me only white theme while the phones shows the blue one.
But while messing with the LCD density I found that the firmware Actually has both of the themes.
so I started experiments on my tab with different LCD Densities and found that while we have both of the themes but we actually have all the three UIs with us too.
It's been the 4.1.1 update that made me loose my fav tabletUI and make it to the PhabletUI.
By changing Lcd density, we can see the changes in the UI.
Please see the attachments for Screenshots.
Range:
Below 140 is the TabletUI with the white theme.
Between 140 and 160 is the PhabletUI with white theme
Above 160 is the PhoneUI with the BLUE theme
though changing LCD density to other than 160 will make the touchwiz home and keyboard app to crash.
but using alternatives [launcher and keyboard app] can make it cool.
also densities greater then 160 [phoneui] will also cause the camera app to crash and the UI will change the camera Icon with a cute little green android.
Review:
TabletUI:
1) Samsung white theme is seen
2) There is no bar on the top
3) Notification bar opens from bottom
4) Battery percentage Is displayed
5) Even on rotation to the landscape, button bar [The one with the back, home and recent buttons on, sorry don't know the name for it] stayes at the bottom
6) In lockscreen only bottom bar is present
PhabletUI:
1) Samsung white theme is seen
2) Bar on either side of screen i.e. Notification bar on top and the action bar [let us give it a name] at bottom.
3) notification comes from top
4) notification bar doesn't fill the screen
5) no battery percentage indicator
6) On rotation each bar stays at there respective position.
7) lock screen differs from tabletUI as there is only top bar not the bottom one.
PhoneUI:
1) Samsungs's beautiful blue theme is seen.
2) UI almost same as PhabletUI with each bar on either side of the screen
3) Notification fills the home screen like what happen in a phone
4) When orientation changed to landscape, the Bottom action bar shifts to the right
5) Gestures in the bottom bar used to open google ow is not present.
6) Battery indicator is blue in color while it is green on the other two modes
7) When connected to PC via USB, Battery indicator neither shows a cross mark nor it shows charging.
8) Settings menu now don't have the dual panel
9) Camera icon replaced by android icon
100 Camera app is crashed
I also see a little performance boost when in phoneUI made.. may be because of no TouchWiz mode.
[Note:
Remember to install a launcher before changing the LCD density because it will make your TouchwizUI to crash and you will not able to select your apps from the app drawer.
Rather you can also put your build.prop editor in the homescreen shortcuts so than you can use it from there. but make it before the changes, you will not be able to make changes in homescreen shortcuts as it is a part of TouchWiz home and on opening, it will crash.
Your replies are appreciable.
If you like my post then hit thanks.
This is why its best not to mess with stuff you dont understand lol... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081640
Easiest way to change modes is to use a custom ROM. AOKP being the better choice. DPI changer built into the ROM If you wish to add a custom theme ( set it to 159, default being 160) and you can switch modes via ROM control and a quick reboot. I'm sure the OP knows what hes doing , just giving some advice to less experienced users.

I know that custom roms have better control on modes but the motive of this post to tell others that we already have the three modes with us along with the two themes ON STOCK ROM.
For those who don't want to shift to a custom rom or argue that we lost our UI after updates. This post is for them.
Less experience lol
I agree with you totally , but the amount of threads in this forum where people have messed with stuff not knowing what they are doing are plenty. Hey I was one of them when I joined the forums :crying: I've had bootloops by the dozen and even totally bricked a device by flashing the wrong thing on to it , an expensive mistake to make.
I actually like the stock ROMs , just that i prefer total control over the ROM i use, a personal choice ....same as yours ! I was just offering advice to new users. Basically make sure you know what you are doing before you do it or use something that's designed for the job if you dont.
Finding out how to recovery from a bootloop and how to restore a device from a nandroid is a must.
I do find it strange why people stay on stock , not even with root access.Surely that's what the spirit of Android is about, what makes our tabs different from the locked down nature of the iPad. Obviously its the users choice as they paid for the device , just an observation.
Have fun with your DPI

we won't learn to stand unless we fall.
okie I was infant about the bootloops. but I've learned from it.
I've previously use many custom roms and flashed my xperia many times. even bricked it a lot. Flashed , bricked and recovered.
I guess thats how u learn.
and regarding staying at stock was because this tab and its TouchWiz is new to my hand and want to learn it before trying something.
Trust me custom roms are not so far from me.
Amen brother ! If you have never had a bootloop you're not an Android fan
I actually got the phone UI by mistake on AOKP M1 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33898491&postcount=440 ,seems really strange on a tablet.But was fun messing with it. As for stock....Just about to flash the new official-ish JB on to my tab and give it a spin , be rude not to IMO.
Get a custom ROM on your tab you will love it, what you got to lose ? Can always flash back.

There's this little bug that's been really pissing me off lately, and has forced me off any ROM based on AOKP.
When you click the recent apps button, the animation shows a screenshot of a different app, usually the one you opened first (For example, when you first open up settings, the animation shows a screenshot of the settings app contracting, then when you open up GPlay, the contraction animation still shows the same screenshot from the settings app)
I know it's not from either CM or PA because neither ROM has it. For some reason, PACMan is also free from this bug. Literally every other ROM that's based off AOKP or is AOKP has it though.
What I'm wondering is, is there a quick fix for this (I know the PIE screen sticking bug was fixed by enabling HW overlays, I'm looking for something of that sort)? AOKP has, by far, the most options out of any ROM for statusbar and navbar customization and I want to be able to use the vast majority of the ROMs on Original Dev and Android Dev.
And yes, I am autismal about this stuff, check your cis privilege, scum.
Hi everyone!
Yesterday i flashed the latest nightly of cm11 and omnirom to my friends S4 and in both i faced the same problem.
In the kitkat launcher the statusbar and the bottom of the screen are transparent but in both roms it was solid black.
Why is that? Is it a bug or did i do something wrong?
In my Galaxy Nexus statusbar and the bottom are transparent as it should.
How can i fix it?

they should be transparent and maybe the launcher may be incompatible on these roms
try it on another rom {a 4.2 one or 4.3 } and see if you have the same problem
Also, you could try a 3rd party launcher that supports the transparent status bar and see if it works or not. If it does, something is wrong with the launcher.
I do believe some early builds of custom roms did not have the transparent status bar ability yet, so you may want to try a newer build as well.

Hello guys i recently installed CM 12 passed from my beloved Optimus G3, anyway i wonder if it's possible to auto hide the softkeys and make them smaller, also if there is any way to get more icons in the drawer ( increase/ decrease DPI i think?) those thinks are huge!
- Also if you guys can give me some advice on what to install next, i don't like CM, will there be a lolipop version of Optimus/Cloudy G3?

Download a custom launcher from the playstore like Nova or Apex. You'll be able to set your drawer and home screen grid size accordingly. Changing your dpi within your build.prop wont actually give you more space to put icons, it just scales the graphics.
Just install CloudyG2 2.2 or CloudyStock and you'll never use another ROM again . You'll see a lot more lollipop development once all the G2 models receive the OTA update.
Thanks, for the info , do you also happen to know if there is a way to hide the softkeys, i don't think its possible to use g2/g3 tweakbox on CM right?

Not to my knowledge, CM12 is still unofficial for the G2 and doesn't contain the expanded desktop mode feature just yet like CM11 does. I say just stick with KK ROMs until Android 5 becomes stable and feature packed (aka wait a few months).

It does? Beautiful! Glad to have helped. Remember, you can tweak expanded desktop mode even more by choosing to only hide the status bar, nav bar or both.
Good day guys,
I am a noob.. sorry if i could not explain my problem well.
I have Note 4 (N910C)
I rooted my phone.. and followed these steps to get Galaxy S6 themes, check the link below
http://getgoogles.blogspot.in/2015/03/how-to-install-galaxy-s6-themes-on.html?m=1
Everything worked perfectly.. however, after applying the theme, when i go to ( settings, call log, and messages) they are still touchwiz shape.. they did not change to the theme shape..
In galaxy s6, when i apply the iron man theme for example, every tiny part of the phone changes to the theme shape including the call log and settings and messages.. but in my Note 4, these did not change.. they stayed on their touchwiz shape
Is there anything i can do to fix this??
Thank you so much
I have a similar problem. My phone just updated to the Marshmallow version, which introduced the new Marshmallow default theme, but left some of the previous 'Pisces' theme icons unchanged! I then installed a new theme, which did NOT change the icons (which were still part Marshmallow default, part 'Pisces'), and, on top of it, resulted in a big black space down one side of the screen (as if that theme was not correctly sized). Restarting the phone or deleting any/all themes did not help. I'm livid as the display is now a complete mess. Can anyone help with this please?
