Hey. I think there is no way to change status bar icons without root and xposed. Maybe you should think root your phone for changing your device's looks. Check out mine and good luck.

transparent status bar

Does any body now how to make the status bar transparent.
I have googled for hours and can not find it.
Plz help
the status bar in gingerbread is transparent by default.
I think he means the top bar itself, not the dropdown background. Which iirc is not actually transparent, but lots of ROMs have it built in. Also, I think Kyouko should make it
BANG! from my shooter...
I am talking about the the top bar. I am running cm7.
the only transparent bars I can find are for hdpi roms.

isnt that what ZduneX25's Theme Patch is for, which is supported by the gingerbreadEx theme?
Thanks kyouko. A little to much work for me though
To get transparency decompile SystemUI.apk
and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml
and change the value to #77000000
and dont forget THANX if u liked....

but how to transparent the top bar?
First off, you'll need Gingerbread. That's the Android OS that supports transparency in the top bar. Second, you'll need something to change your top bar color. I do believe CyanogenMod 7 has an option for it somewhere. You'll have to change the alpha setting on it to adjust transparency.

Semi Transparent Navbar + Status bar?

Hey guys, anyone know of a way to get a transparent navbar and status bar like the one in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882394 I'd rather not switch roms since I like CM so much. Does anyone know what I need to mod in systemUI or wherever to get this to work?
Edit: meant to post in Themes + Apps
+1, I too would like to know how to do this. I am on rasbeanjelly and unfortunately there's no option here.
Go for JellyBeer, its based on cm with a bit more customization, I have flashed it today, and I love it!

It's generally an option built into ROMs. Paranoid android and aokp definitely have it but I can't speak for others. I don't know of any mod that can attach this functionality to your current rom.
Just an FYI though, this will not make status bar/nav bar transparent for anything other than your homescreen. That is because only launchers draw underneath the status and nav bar so you can make them transparent to see what's underneath. No other app does this. No mod or rom will be able to make transparent for anything other than homescreen

I know. I just want it on the homescreen. It's not in cm, but there's code that lets other roms use it, so that means there is a way for a mod to be made. Or I could do it myself, I just need to know what code to input.

[Q] fullscreen only with stock wallpaper?

Hi! why only with stock LG wallpaper I can see a full screen image in my home? with custom image, the topbar it's only quite transparent, not totally like stock.
how can I solve this?
Been having the same question. After some search, it seems that using the Xposed mod is one of the way to get a 100% transparent bar. Not sure if there are any other ways..

I'll let other, more informed G2 owners confirm this, but I believe that if you install wallpapers via an apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and you can get a transparent notification bar. I am still exploring this.

Wallpaper as an apk..? Okay unless I'm going crazy from all the studying that is something new to me. I don't remember installing wallpaper.. However I did install apps that has a selection on wallpapers. After setting it thru the app, the status bar becomes translucent. Thanks for the info though. Will search around because I really liked the transparent status bar.

Let me re-phrase that:
I meant to say that you can find apps (apks) that install wallpapers - and when they do (I believe) the G2 will see them as "stock", not as "pictures" that are used as wallpaper. When those wallpapers are seen as stock, you get 100% transparency in the notification bar. This is what I think - still looking into it. Hope this is helpful!
Well it's pretty simples really ... the status bar icons are white and aqua, these would only be easily visible on a dark (non-white) background, which all the stock wallpapers are ... now if you use a custom wallpaper, I doubt the phone can detect what colour the wallpaper is, so to avoid numpties setting a white wallpaper and then wondering/complaining why their icons have disappeared, they have set it so that there is a semi transparent black bar for all custom wallpapers to ensure the icons can still be seen regardless of what colour the wallpaper is.
Simples.

Makes sense.
So is it the case that when you install wallpapers via an app/apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and won't automatically apply the semi-transparent background? Just wondering...

I'm not sure about that, I don't tend to set wallpapers straight from an app, I always download them, I actually only really use the wallbase.cc app for all my wallpapers. (best wallpaper app).
But if was to take a guess, I would say that the phone assumes all the pre-installed stock wallpapers are compatible with a transparent status bar ... so if you get the phone to think your custom wallpapers are preinstalled stock wallpapers then it might work.
This could be just as simple as saving the wallpapers in the correct system folders along with the other stock wallpapers. Which might explain why if you set it from the app directly it works, as you're not actually downloading the wallpaper, so the app only saves it as a temporary file in the system folders, thus making the phone think it's a stock wallpaper.
Again, these are all assumptions, I haven't tested any of it so it could all be useless info ... but worth looking into .. I do like the transparent status bar.

I believe the phone came with a light blue sky wallpaper. That should have made the status bar translucent. But it didn't. Is it possible to put in wallpapers together with the system's default set? You just need to add pictures into the specific folder eh?
tried to achieve the same with GravityBox Xposed module and it works just as strange as observation in this thread. the status bar becomes transparent right after applying the settings no matter the wallpaper but it goes into the usual semi transparent mode right after you visit the app drawer for example.

Substratum working?

The app indicates it supports Android 7.0 but i for the life of me can't get it to work. It looks like it compiles and prompts a reboot...but never see any changes or options for enabling after compile. Thoughts?
EDIT: Trying different themes i do see some of the apps being affected...though can't get navbar changes to stick...
Also the icon colors in the status bar font change. They all depend on the original v20 theme

Yep, good point. Guess i just have to wait for Xposed for my Navbar changes.

Lockscreen icons

Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...
Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess
Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry
