annoying shading under notification bar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm currently on NeatRom XXUFMB3 (android 4.2.1), using the latest version of Apex launcher (1.4.4)
and since I upgraded, I now have this half-an-inch-ish shaded bar / shadow underneath my notification bar on homescreen - never had it before; it's hiding the top of the homescreen wallpaper, it's just annoying and I want to get rid of it but I have not managed so far.
Yes, I did search the Internet and could not find any clear explanation ,not knowing how to define it in the first place!
Is it related to android 4.2.1 or Apex Launcher (BTW in Apex, homescreen settings > hide shadows is checked but does not seem to change anything)
can anyone help please ?

Known bug of the leaked firmware

Set a live wallpaper and then your wallpaper again. That will remove the shading for sometime. It'll come back, though. We've got to live with it till this issue is fixed, possibly in a future firmware.

Nova Launcher Icon Problem

When I restored my nova settings all was good except for the app drawer icon. The acon is a green android with a white box. How do i change it to default?
weird it happened but just found a stock app drawer icon and edited it myself.
Perhaps Respected Mam/Sir,
This is to inform you that I will surely help you with this!
Now every Launcher has an Launcher Settings so you have to get into it (Mostly you are supposed to press and hold anywhere on the screen)
So assuming you got into the settings now you have to find an option about Get Icons From another launcher(or something else similar to this). So now select your default Launcher which was there when you bought your mobile.
Note- This will change your icons as it were during the Stock Launcher rest all Launcher Looks will remain the same.

Just installed TheCollective's AoCP 3.1 ROM- a few Q's

Just installed this ROM.
Its really nice. But how do I change the color of the battery, clock and wifi signal icons in the upper right corner of the screen from the ugly orange?
Also, I would like the change the color of the keyboard (which is also the same ugly orange).
I was looking in the settings for over 30 minutes and couldn't figure out how to change these things.
Thanks.
Theme. Orange is stock color for collective.

You mean settings and Themes? I looked there, there is nothing to configure. It only gives me one 1 theme to pick (the Collective theme that has an atomic blast as a wallpaper).
I installed ADW launcher and switched to that launcher. But even after that, the battery and wifi icons in the upper right corner are still orange. And in settings/Themes, it still gives me nothing to configure and only 1 theme to pick (even after installing an ADW theme from Google Play).
Some more suggestions on how to change the icon colors would be appreciated. Thanks.

i did but the icons in the right corner are still orange.
i installed some themes for Go Launcher. And applied them and the icons in the corner are still orange.
when i go on google play and search for android themes its seems like the first 50 listed require GO EX launcher. is there any good theme that doesn't require a special launcher? one that someone can point me to? maybe if i apply a theme that doesn't require a launcher the color of the icons in the corner will not be orange anymore.
i also rebooted my phone a couple of times, that didnt fix the orange color of the icons.

Not familiar with Go Launcher. I'm using Nova Launcher. I like Nova because it lets me backup my screen widgets. Saves a lot time when you flash every new releases. I use the Xperia theme with Nova.

I think the app "Rom Toolbox" has an option to change those colors up top there.

[Q] Couple questions about UKB 1.21

Hi guys,
Apparently I'm not allowed to post in the dev forum, so I figured I would ask here. I had to get rid of the JB lockscreen because I just couldn't use it with having to unlock first and then answer the call. I have the Sense lockscreen now, but it doesn't have any of the apps, which I made sure was enabled under Personalize. The other issue I have is that the notification bar is transparent on the lockscreen, but black on the home screen. Not really a big deal, just more cosmetic. Other than that, nijitsu has done a wonderful job with this rom and I can't wait to see what future releases bring.
Thanks,
Steve
Are you using the sense launcher or nova/apex? You need to put your apps in the sense dock to show on the lockscreen.
As far a notification transparency, that's how it's built.
I assume you have it de- sensed? Only the sense Rosie launcher will support the transparent status bar.
Also that it's your problem with the lock screen shortcuts.. it pulls them from your Rosie launcher bar

Ah, I feel like such an idiot now, lol. I installed the Rosie, but I never opened it. After I took Nova off default and went into regular Sense, the lockscreen icons show up now. As far as the transparency, I think I will wait for that UKB specific mod to get updated to 1.21 and give that a try. I used another mod and it messed with using the power button to reboot (phone automatically reboots with no options).
Thanks for the quick replies guys!
widget locker solves this problem
Using in desensed with widget locker and this makes it possable to answer phone with out unlocking first, phone rings and will display the call screen.:good:

Transparent status bar and saving current look for update

Hello! I'm new to Androids and so far I like it but I do have questions.
1. Is there any way to make the status/notification bar transparent on my HTC One?
I installed the apex launcher which allows me to hide the status bar entirely but I find that a bit annoying because I like to see the information on my notification bar at all times (i.e. time, connection). I just want the black strip to be transparent.
2. I just found out that there is an update to the software (4.3) and I'm currently on 4.1.2. If I install the update, will everything on my phone reset? Will I lose the layout of my icons with the apex launcher or Sense?
Status bar becomes transparent with 4.3 update. Does the green led seem brighter after update?

Annoying black bar at bottom of transparent Nav Bar

I hope I can get some help on this. I have been working on it for a while and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the bar at the bottom of the screen while using a transparent Nav Bar. I have been messing around with the SystemUI.apk, but I feel like it's more likely the GoogleHome launcher (which seems to just put some tweaks onto the stock launcher) or even the Launcher2.apk that is formatting the wallpaper like this. I am just staring to mess with coding, so I'm not sure where the formatting is happening. Any advanced themers/coders willing to give me some advice?
P.S. I REALLY want to use the Google Home launcher and not just switch to a third party launcher like Nova. Nova launcher does get the wallpaper full screen with transparent nav bar, but it does not have the features that the Google Home launcher has.
Thanks in advance!!
:good:
