remove notification bar

hello
is there any way to hide the notifications bar on galaxy S i9000?
thanks

there are several apps in the market that can do that
but you will be in trouble without it
a lot of apps depends on the notification bar
if you don't have the bar, you will have no quick way to access those alerts

thanks
can you name me one app that do that?
i want to remove this while im driving with GPS to avoid the notofication bar will be stock like i had on my nexus one. this is really troble with amoled screens.

I use GDE as my Home replacement, It has an option for Fullscreen, which removes the notification bar

I do not know why you wanna hide it, but if you have launcher pro, there is an option to hide the notification bar.

Hi there...
This black notification bar somehow is ugly for this homescreen and this phone...isn't there any simple way to make it transparent or hide it without using third party application like launcher pro???

I don't think so.

Unfortunately you have to use a third party app to do this. That said, I'd love to see a mod to hide the clock, it bugs me to have one up there AND a clock widget.....
Back to topic: ADW has a hide option aswell....

I use ADWLaucher, I can hide/show the bar swiping the screen.

I use launcher pro to hide it with a swipe gesture on a dock icon to make it apear

Stock Wallpaper and Transparent Notification

I did a little research and wanted to know if I really have the right info regarding wallpapers and the notification bar.
Please: no need to tell me to root or to use an alternative launcher. I am well-versed in both, but I remain interested in staying stock and using the default laucher.
So, is it the case that:
- The only way to have a transparent notification bar (it looks great) is to use the stock, LG-supplied wallpaper?
- There is no way to add to the stock wallpaper collection?
Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same question as OP

I currently use Xposed and Gravitybox for transparent action bar (nav. bar) and status bar, but only for home screen mode. In lockscreen the bars show wallpaper of homescreen not set lockscreen wallpaper

Thanks ZenWan - but Xposed is only for rooted devices, right?
Although I have plenty of experience with rooting and custom ROMs on previous phones, I really want to keep my G2 completely stock.

Aye, I believe it only works with rooted devices. But fair enough, understand your reason ^_^

There's ZOR over at the Theme's section who makes his own themes. Chose's his own wallpapers and icons and all and still has transparent as stock. I saw in one of a couple pages that he posted a link on to how he made them. that could be another way to achieve that. I myself wanted to keep but my impatience made me root; xposed and now i have that and way more options. are you afraid to void your warranty?

Give us the icon!

For the navigation bar icons you could use a new Xposed Module called Android L Navigation bar, works excellent
also, you can use the Android L preview Keyboard (no root needed) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=es&id=uk.co.shenye.android.inputmethod.latin

Thanks for the link to the L preview keyboard. I have tried it on my 1st gen Nexus 7. It works fine, I tested it using English and Spanish. I have spent an hour going to and fro between the 4.4.2 keyboard and the L. I can find no difference in the swipe response, keyboard responsiveness etc. The L keyboard is missing the long press functions ie. long press "g" gets the "&" etc. I happen to use the long press functions quite a bit so the L keyboard is a disappointment in this respect. It looks l like the L keyboard is just a cosmetic change ATM. Maybe the final official release will get more improvements? A minor fault that I found that is the default keyboard color scheme cannot be changed, it's a minor detail. But I wanted to try changing the color scheme because the English/Spanish info in the space bar is very feint and harder to see on the standard L color scheme. The L "look" is cleaner, more Apple like, but I have decided to revert to using the 4.4.2 AOSP version.

No, you can change icons with nova launcher. Long press on an app on your homescreen and choose "edit". Then touch the current icon to choose a new one.

Bootanimation - https://mega.co.nz/#!Vx02xbhR!kZ2kfLxmgccUcxCEWMaDraOLKm1FyXSpwQ64v0iqWcY
Not a flashable zip
Backup and replace the original bootanimation.zip in /system/media/
Change the permission like the original one - rw/r/r

tinted status bar
To replicate it more you can install a xposed framework module called 'tinted status bar'. This allows your status bar adapt the color of the action bar, though android l uses a darker color for status bar compared to action bar. And yeah, you need root access!

There's a new xposed module which allow you to set the New Android L softkeys much easy. See screenshot.

Try this paid icon pack , it's as close as possible to the L icons

Home in Fullscreen

Hi
I need the Home-screen on my ZL in Full-mode (expanded?), maybe without Pagination Marker and extra Row for Icons.
Im using Pie from GravityBox, without Navbar.
I'm searching 2 day's (and night's) for an Alternative to this Fullscreen.apk
Now (Lolli, root, Recovery) it didn't work anymore on my 6503.
Any Idea's how realized it?
Thx

Bro you can try serajr's "Xperia™ Xposed (LP)"
The feature you asked is available as option in additional quick tiles option.
I guess this is not right place to ask questions.[emoji6]

:cyclops:
O.k - (not really easy to find)
System Ui/Enable Extra Tiles/"Navigation Bar" - pull down QuickSettings + insert the icon and enable.
:good:
5th Row:
Home Launcher/Desktop/Grid-Numbers of Rows/"5"
----GEM Xposed can delete the Page Dots.
Now it looks like this!
Hurra

Use app settings xposed module you can set the home launcher to be immersive so both the nav bar and status bar will only show when you swipe up or down

You can use Xposed and install 3dot menu Mod for change nav = 0

Substratium not working

Anyone able to get substratium to work on sd note 9?
I am just trying to theme the stock messaging app so that the text box will be black. Is there a stand alone overlay apk that can do the same?
Textra is not an option since I loose some functionality of my gear s2.
Edit: I forgot to run the andromedia pc plugin to get it going. Everything is working now.

I have Subs working on my Vzw n9.
I have changed my Nav bars, fonts and a few apps so far.

interesting. I keep getting verification errors on substratium.
Systemui tuner + good lock 2018 has taken care of everything except the messages app.

Does your phone have to be unlocked to use it? I got mine from sprint I want to change the navi bar color so bad

Systemui tuner in playstore has that built in. No root required but you do need to run a couple of adb commands.

Is not working for me either. Note 9 on VZW. how did you get it to work?

I did and didn't work the first time. However I figured it out. I used smart switch to restore from my note 8 and Andromeda was working funny. Uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem.
Thank you

Only some things are working for me. The settings and phone apps aren't. It colours them if i select android 8.1 pixel or nexus but not the samsung option. Using swift black btw

And go To développer settings To enable USB debug mode.

Pitchblack Samsung is running on my note 9 using subsrtatum alone. A bit of a pain because Android permissions ask permission to install per overlay, but working 100% here without Andromeda. I have the US Xfinity Mobile Note 9.

Settings overlay just wouldn't work no matter what settings or device type I tried. I did however get the UI and some apps themed.
I didn't really see a big difference compared to the samsung theme i'm using right now + ADB navbar colour change so i stuck with that. Haven't decided on an icon pack yet.
Attached some screenshots.

Looks alright actually. So, you're using a standard Samsung theme with adb navbar mod or are you using parts of swift substratum and adb navbar mod?
I'm currently using swift dark, the bits that work on the note 9, with wings substratum to shade out slightly my black navbar icons and slightly reduce the ( grey color ) of my status bar icons. Oh, and also system ui tuner was used for my black navbar. So all in all , system ui tuner, swift and wings substratum used here.

I dropped substratum all together. I'm now using:
- Good Lock 2018 for notification drop down and notification shade
- MINU Black_Edition V2 Samsung theme for the overall black skin
- ADB Navbar Colour Change
- System UI tuner for immersive mode toggle
Still deciding on icons though..

Unfortunately not. I mostly use it to ensure it's black with my Gboard when typing since I use immersive mode. Apps like Chrome that apply a colour overlay will override ADB.
I assume substratum is the only way from small testing.. Even overlay apps like "Navbar Apps" don't keep everything black unfortuntely.
