Hello people, today I came with a question, I am looking for information on a navigation bar replacement, here is the short backstory.
I installed a rom for my moto, ( cant recall name, this is part of my problem but I think orion, cant recall the version, it was the one before substratum was added) every was perfect, but screen was giving me issues so I had the phone replaced, without even thinking about checking the rom name ( i delete files after dll)
such rom came with a feature I just love, it was a replacement for the nav bar, no buttons, nothing, it kinda look like always in fullscreen, and after setting it up, you could use the area of the screen where the nav bar goes, to for example swipe up for recents, d-tap for back, long swipe left to kill app...
also it leaves a trail while using it, just like the keyboard, and when you play music it shows in the same area a music visualizer, bars going up and down. ( I know some apps can do this too like muviz)
PLease if anyone know the name of the app/xposed/rom please reply or send me a message.
Thank you

The ROM is Dirty Unicorns and they are currently working on a Nougat update, the equalizer at the bottom of the home screen is called Pulse and the "swiping" navbar effects is called Fling (check the videos in the link).

I'd like to prevent my notifications and program "badges" (can't think of the proper word!) From stacking up in my notification bar at the top of the screen.
It happens when i have a lot of icons there already, ie wifi, alarm etc. Despite there being plenty of room in the middle of the bar, my notifications all stack into one icon on the extreme left hand side with the number of different programs/notifications shown as a number.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour and force android to use all the available space on the notification bar?
I'm running Ion r2 on my Dream, although my phone has always done this, with the stock rom and JF 1.5 as well.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
Sure, keep the number of notifications low and they won't stack. They stack when you run out of space on the bar. I know you think that there's lots of space, but if you unstack them, rest assured that there are definitely too many to fit in the space available.

Unfortunatly there is no forseen solution to this problem. I experience it as well. I think the best we can hope for are new phones with higher resolutions.

This isn't right. There is definitely space for 4 more icons, yet it stacks with just 2.

I'm on Ionr2 and I have 4 icons (email, Toggle Settings, Twidroid, USB) on the left side before the stacking starts. I'm not sure if it's gone up to 5 or not.

When the phone is in portrait mode it stacks when there are more than 2 items on the left hand side - even though there is space for more items. When in landscape, it shows all the notifications/app icons individually.
Very annoying, since the home screen will only display in portrait mode and wont auto rotate when the phone is turned.
Im convinced there must be something i can do to fix this issue!

I was talking about portrait mode. I'm pretty sure there's a fix since I do not have this problem. However, my home screen does rotate though, since I have dxTop.
Do you happen to have Quick Calendar installed? Even though Quick Calendar did not display a little icon on the top for each item in the list and only say in my "ongoing" area on the bar, when I removed it the stacking you talk about went away! It was driving me crazy too, but it seems like either Quick Calendar or the OS sees each entry, even though it doesn't have an icon and counts them.
Not sure if it will help you, but my phone has been working properly after I disabled Quick Calendar. It's a shame, I like the app. :-/

Genius! Removing Quick Calendar solved the problem - thanks!
I've put a link to this thread at the devs website - perhaps when he has solved the issue he could let us know, so we can go back to using his otherwise useful app.
Never had this type of problem, only thing is that my colors blend together because of the custom theme I am using >.<
Ok, I confirmed with the developer this morning, it is QuickCal, though I guess any other app that hides icons would also have this problem as it is a restriction in the os. Jim (the developer) works for google and plans to petition his employer to make some changes to the way the notify bar works. The os allows the developer to 'hide' notification icons, but they still take up an invisible space.
We should see an update in the next couple of days to make a nicer widget with more info and smaller font size, so this may satisfy me if the widget is decent.

Awesome - I already miss QuickCal and I only uninstalled it yesterday!
Well, I have a weird problem I have never seen before. My notification bar area has lost touchability. I know, this sounds weird. In other terms, I have lost the touch function of the top ~1 cm of the screen.
I have tried wiping everything possible, changing roms, kernels, recoverys; nothing helps. I have officially given up on making the top bar work. Oh and I might note that I am out of warranty and Sprint will not help.
So now, here comes my question: Is there any app that lets me perform a gesture while inside any app to open my notification bar? Something similar to wave launcher but for opening the notification bar.
If you are on CM7, you can use the Tablet Tweaks under Cyanogenmod Settings to move the status bar to the bottom -- then you can swipe it from there.

So part of your screen failed...get it fixed... better than a workaround
Why are you out of warranty? They know you're rooted? You should have a 1-year manufacturer warranty from HTC.
Also, if you use 3rd party launchers such as ADW and LauncherPro, you can change your swype down gesture. For example, you can make a swype down on the homescreen open the notification drawer.

If you've taken it to Sprint & they've refused to fix it, try a different store. Unroot first, of course.
You could always flip the phone to landscape and pull it down from there. I hate auto-rotate, but that's just me.
Also, in slightly older versions of MIUI, the "recent apps" window was part of the notification area. I really liked being able to long-press the home button, then swipe left/right to get to notifications/toggles. It was especially handy in an app where the notification bar is automatically hidden. I believe the last build to include this was 1.4.8, everything since has a separate window for recent apps. If you like MIUI, you could try 1.4.8 or before.

First off...many thanks to ALL you devs who have already contributed and will contribute in the future. Your work is necessary as phone manufacturers ship less than perfect handsets. You guys truly make these products sooooo much better.
From what I've been gathering...a number of folks would like some of these ideas listed added to this wonderful phone. Donations shall be in order of course for all the hard work.
- The ability to hide the ever present location "bullseye" Icon
- Replace the battey icon with a custom one (I always thought that multicolored round one with the percent in the middle was coooooollll), or shrinking the stock percentage and placing it on top the battery.
- Bottom speaker gain control
- knock off works if you tap the empty area of the home-screen in a 3rd party launcher (the stock ui sees it as one big app, which is why it won't work unless you double tap the top status bar.)
- Keeping the top status bar and the lower nav buttons transparent in 3rd party launchers (the stock ui again sees it as one big app, rendering the bars opaque)
- Black or gray theme for settings menu....the white is a bit harsh.
- Double tapping the home nav button brings up LG Voice Mate...or that voice control LG app thingy.
Hide the brightness and volume sliders in the notification panel please!

The VZW model never had them in the first place.
This is a request thread and should go in Q/A or general.

They will soon.
No worries.
I'm working on these atm..
but I have F320 Systemui..
no one sent me the Verizon of At&t systemui.apk..
And for the 1% Battery MOD, Framework.res & Lge.res is also required..
EDIT: My friend here, djkinetic sent me those files.. I cannot see or test anything..so i will send it to him for testing. But not everything at once, one by one slowly..
How about removal of the AM/PM please and location icon (as was mentioned)
What kind of bottom speaker control are you asking for?
I support the dark settings theme.
At least you can change the navbar to be black instead of white, and the settings menu to be tabbed instead of one gigantic list. I was worried during initial reviews when they said you couldn't change those.
I'd like to add - ability to customize navbar to add other button types, or at least the customization of the navbar hold-n-drag options (currently holds voice search, Google Now, and something else).

All in good time. The beauty of a flagship device is very highly likely CM support.
AOSP please
How about a permanent Back, Home, Multitask, Menu button layout in AOSP style with a semi transparent background on the homescreen...
Of course, I'd prefer complete AOSP.

Sitting here streaming Slacker radio, dawned on me:
customizable knock patterns! like 2 knocks for skipping a track, change wake up to 3 knocks, etc.
- knock off works if you tap the empty area of the home-screen in a 3rd party launcher (the stock ui sees it as one big app, which is why it won't work unless you double tap the top status bar.)

Just use Nova gesture double tap + tasker task to lock the screen.

Why buy the G2 if all you want is AOSP? You might as well have waited for the N5.. I don't understand why people buy a phone that has some pretty cool features, only to flash AOSP and lose most of it... I get that a lot of what the G2 does can be built into AOSP with different apps but i guess I'm the only one who buys the phone for the experience that was intended by the manufacturer.
Ok guys, was able to make many things and tested them too! Need to fix a few things. Its 4 am here,by 11am i will make a new thread in themes section
I just updated my N7 to the new KitKat, the status bar and soft keys only become transparent in Google experience launcher home screen (need to install GEL mannually), but within the app it is still two black bars. As nexus 7's screen real state constantly blocked by these two bars (terrible in landscape mode especially), I was wondering if there is a mod (e.g. mod the systemUI) to make both bars transparent.
This is certainly achievable as I have seen Samsung tabs all have transparent status bar out of box, and in 4.3 there was CyanogenMod that made it transparent, but there is nothing like these for KitKat
I prefer this solution other than hidding the softkey bars (such as GMD) because i don't want to change GEL, and I know in the future , new apps will be able to leverage the new immerse fullscreen so this problem is completely solved, i don't want to affect that function, but in the same time, i want old apps still able to use more screen real states.
please let me know if there is a solution to make this possible.
Thanks everyone!
Any one has figured this out?
Try this to see if it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529594
Thanks, but Google experience launcher only provide transparent status bar and softkeys on homescreen, not inside app
to make it work inside an app, need to deeply mod the system UI file, in 4.2 CM10.2 has done it before successfully!

Hi I got OnePlus 6t and I have a problem with the navigation bar . Always but always is white when I am using a colour application a game or something and become black if I use a white application like chrome for example. I can understand this is a future to prevent screen burning but for me is so annoying. My wife got s9 plus and the navigation bar become transparent plus you got the option to change it black or how you like it.
I don't know if is only me or I am too fussy but is so bad so fuxxking bad I try to speak with some guys in the community app I try to tell them a future abut this but they not doing anything..
Now I flash beta 4 hoping that they done something. Guess what . Nothing
Try the app "Navbar Apps" in the Play Store.
Nothing against the author of the app mentioned but having to give out that much access to your device to change something that should be part of the theme is a design weak point.
If you're Rooted you can install Xposed and use BlackNavigationBar and it works flawlessly.
rahlquist .
Yeah you are right they can add this future to change the nav bar easy.

i will root it back just for this future ,i didn't know that xbosed is working on android 9 , i will check a tuturial on xda forum
Hi all,
i didn't want to make a whole thread just to ask if any have found/use a app similar to what "Custom Navigation Bar" by paphonb used to do?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967
i dont want to change colors or add images like other apps, i just want to add a back button on the right side same as the left one for the pie navbar. is not about swap the back button to the right, is having 2 back icons and change the image to dots.
