[MOD] Msg/Notification navbar color change - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I am looking for a app/hack/mod that makes the navbar fade in and out a certain color when your receive a msg or notification...
I think this would be a great mod or hack for most phones to get a fast glance what kind of notification you have also setup for different colors for different contacts in the phone.
I am not a dev by any means so I am not even sure if this is possible or not but I think it would be very useful.
Anyways let me know what you think or have any ideas where I can find something similar to this idea..
Thanks.

Well this phone doesn't have a navbar. . . but you can install Handcent SMS and have custom icons, tones, and vibrate patterns for individual contacts.
I'm not really sure that I'm understanding your idea properly, but it seems a lot less efficient than just looking at the notification bar, you can already see what notifications you've missed at quick glance and more than just one

think he means notification bar. i think thatd be dope for the bar to flash a certain color when something comes in.

yeah exactly... the bar itself will change so it would be faster than swiping down the notification bar ... specially when your driving ...

Great idea man. Would love to see this also

App Request.- Am/Pm burn in fix

i have noticed that the Am/Pm bar on the top of the screen starts to burn in, it would be great if somebody could make an app that would move the Am/Pm bar around so everybody's burn in's dont get any worse
I believe changing fonts every now and then could take care of it. I know it's not whast you asked for, I guess it would just act as a bandaid for now.
LauncherPro lets you hide the statusbar on the homescreen.

Zeam let's you do this as well and it's what I recently started doing. Another option might be to use a 24 hour clock. Not sure how much that would really help though.
If they have a way to black out the battery how come theres no way to get rid of the clock or black it out I dont use it anyway
egc-r2+voodoo jl4+jl4 modem
devs for the verizon fascinate found a way to remove the am/pm from the notification bar. probably the main reason they removed it on the nexusS lol we could look into how they removed it.

Murse thanks for the suggestion! I went and downloaded Zeam from the market and it's an excellent launcher which also allows you to hide status bar! And it's free, no ads! Thanks again buddy!
edit: Ok Zeam only removes the status bar from the home screen. Open the browser or any app and the status bar reappears so not useful for hiding status bar. Also live wallpapers freeze intermittently while running Zeam. Is a good launcher despite those shortcomings.
Removing status bar entirely will probably require a different rom, not an apk.

Do you have a link to something pointing to where they changed it. I am working on a mod that will allow you to change the color (like in cyanogen mod) and even hide time and/or am/pm.

i dont remember the link but it was a services.jar edit commenting it out.

Yes. I am working on a mod (for Nero3) that takes the "settings" features from cyanogenmod, so you can show/hide the time, show/hide am/pm and change the color.
I have the code in place in the services.jar, and let me tell you, that is no easy task... and I think it is "sort of" working. when I flash the modded services jar, I have no time, but i also dont have the signal strength, and battery. which is also part of the CM stuff.
I started creating a "custom" spareparts app, that is based on the CM one (it only has the time / status bar stuff). but currently i have been unable to get it to display the time or any of the other status icons.
I am not sure yet what the problem is. It could be because it is not signed as a system app, or it could be that I am missing something in the services.jar.

[Q] Pulldown Toggles

Anyone working on this yet?
[[bump]]
Really - these handy pull down toggles (on/off's for wifi, bluetooth etc) have been on every ver of Android since 2.0. Until now - who's brilliant idea was it to remove these?

Toggles in the notification bar have only ever been an OEM add-on, they are not part of stock Android/AOSP.
That said, it's definitely one of the most obvious missing features vs. the RAZR's contemporaries from HTC and Samsung.
My wife's new Pantech Breakout has some nice notification toggles stock! I'd love for something like that for my Razr!

yea, I miss those too. hopefully ICS has something like that in it whenever that comes out.
Available in the Market as always for example via Widgetsoid.
How many times will I have to say that for people to understan, unbelievable.

Well it doesn't work very well maybe that's why...It doesn't work with either of my Motorola phones w/o the popup - and the popup defeats the purpose imo.
Perhaps it works better on other devices idk...
Additionally, a lot of the toggles don't even work...it looks real nice and seems to be very configurable but just doesn't work for me.
Add the Toggleower Contorl widget to have some toggles.
Notification Toggle is working on my RAZR with a few minor glitches and enables customized pull-down toggles. This is a great workaround until ICS.

Try MySettings, works like a charm
Shady's rom has toggles and Im now working on them for my rom also
Widgetsoid seems like a great app with a lot of potential and nice customization features, but on the Razr you can't toggle directly from the notification bar with it. Instead clicking on the toggle icon will popup another window to toggle the setting on or off. That and I haven't been able to change the colors of the toggles in the dropdown so that it's readable.
Notification toggle is the closest I've found. Each toggle takes up a line but you can actually turn the item on or off straight from the dropdown.

Click the Widgetsoid icon, at the bottom of the screen press the notification icon then tick the Use custom style box. Scroll down and you can change the colours

Transparent Notification Bar

Hey, is there a mod that allows to make the not. Bar transparent in apps?
Send from my awesome S3!
Not sure if it works only in app but with the 3minit mod you can change the colour and transparency of the notification bar.
not to be confused with the status bar
my bad! @Glebun, Whats the difference then. Just so i can learn and not make the stupid rookie error in future!
I wasn't referring to you, since I'm not familiar with the mod you are talking about. I just thought that OP might have had the status bar in mind. The status bar is the bar on top of the screen with the clock, battery and signal levels and notification icons. The notification bar is the expanded status bar where the notifications are.
OK, my apologies. Thought you were correcting my Noobness! I thought the two were connected but presumed i was missing something or misusing the correct names for them!
With the 3Minit Framework Mod you can change both status bar and notifications bar colour and transparency.

Also, if you use AOKP, there is a system setting in ROM control to manage that.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

Looking for something like Tinted Status Bar

Heyo,
i am looking or an extension somewhat like tinted status bar. I want to give Navbar and satusbar different color for each app. I know Tinted Status bar does that but here are the reasons i don´t want to keep it:
1: the status bar does no fluent fade when I open an app but it flickers. A lot.
2: when you are in an app that can hide the header on scrolling actions (just like reddit sync) the app does a thing that really annoys me. When the header is there the status bar blends in and becomes grey, when it fades it just goes back to black. Even when i set custom colors it does that.
So is there any way i can do that? I´d also have no Problem setting all the colors manually.
Thanks in advance!
PS: I don´t know if this is the right subforum for requests, if not please move this thread.
Have a nice day :good:
This sounds like fantastic idea!!! I would love that i only wish I could build a module do such a thing lol good luck tho ill be sure to check back

Hehe, it´s just that there already is this module. Tinted status bar does that but it has some bugs and the dev seems to be abscent..

Enabling Always Showing Full Transparency Notification Bar

Is there any way to make the notification bar always showing AND fully transparent? It seems like the options available only allow for one or the other.
I would like to know also. It would be a nice feature. Along with transparent nav bar

We tried this a few months ago, however it led to many crashes and bugs. The developers are trying hard to get it back though!
