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!

Anyone working on this yet?

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

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
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using xda premium
anybody know of any dev that would be able to make an app or mod for this ?
Maybe try here.

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.

Last night I found this application developed by FireZenk and I want to share with you too.
Hope you like it!!!
I tested on CM10.1 and work well. Try it on different firmware/ROM's and report if work.

At last a bar and a custom notification panel to suit the user!
And without losing features!
Super Status Bar is the notification bar you always wanted.
Not a Root? because there is no problem, Super Status Bar is here to change things!Customize your taskbar to the smallest detail!
With Super Status Bar can change the position of the icons in the status bar, you can change your appearance, use the backgrounds that you like, download new themes each week, change the text fonts, simplify your status bar to a minimum expression or extend it until the unimaginable features, all to make your status bar to your liking and not liking the manufacturer.
Choose from a large number of themes and also ... be the first to test the status bar ICE CREAM SANDWICH!
You can see the notifications on the lock screen or even while you play!
You only have to activate Accessibility options Android
Now you can customize the notifications panel!
You'll also have quick access to the most important system notifications without having to deploy the notification bar, with direct access included in the application, such as calls, sms's or gmail's
And if this were not enough, you can enjoy the new notifications panel which add more features to the classic status bar, things like shortcuts to switch wi-fi, bluetooth, gps, mute and more.

oh! it is a nice app, thank u!
Tested on CM10.2, it`s working but you got boot loop when enable or disable Super Status Bar, you`ve to take out the battery and put it again to make the device boot normally.

Good to know.:good:
@R_a_z_v_a_n
I don't know if it was a CM10.2 related bug, but when I turn off the Super Status Bar the phone immediately end in a boot loop. I had to wipe data
The notification bar is horrible, i like the stock android one where i can turn off wifi/bluetooth etc - i downloaded an app that tries to emulate these things but its not the real deal.
I already use a custom launcher -how can i replace the notification bar ?

I think root with xposed framework will do. But I dont touch that, because I always semibricked phones with it.
Personally, I only miss the brightness in there. Mine is clean showing only the clock and my push notifications. The stock multitasking feature is full of the Features you want in the notification bar and also customizable. I like the idea as the multitask switching itself on the most roms is very "empty". Just your windows and thats it. In EUI its like a "quickbar"
