I want to change the black nav bar to full transparent (except the softkeys).Is there any way to do it??
Edit: I am not asking a way to do it using oxygen OS. I am asking how to do it if I am on oxygen OS.

Isn't it transparent by default? Well, within apps I dont think you can make it transparent, unless you use an xposed module or something in the lines of it.

Yeah... I am asking about making it transparent within the app.
I could not find any xposed module which can do this.
Tell me if you find one.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.woalk.apps.xposed.translucentstyle or you can simply download gravitybox and navigate to the statusbar/navbar tweaks and then adjust transparency from there
^you can try that or try going on stackexchange and finding ways to edit the build.prop for transparent navbars.
I still dont get why you want it to be transparent though, like the buttons wouldn't be visible if you were on an app with a white background like google now.

Even though it is not visible, I know the position of the soft keys. Hence, I can still touch the correct button.
Also, the module you posted is only for KitKat.
I don't know how to do "stackchange"
Download gravitybox then

My phone is rooted and I'm currently using Benz custom rom, if I remember correctly!
Please can anybody tell me or show me information on how I can make my status bar transparent please, and maybe change the colour of the icons to stand out better against backgrounds.
Thanks.
There should be some guides out there. Just google it. You will be surpised what you find!

So I tried this:
If your ROMs isn't deodexed, deodex SystemUI.apk
Decompile it.
Go to /res/drawable-mdpi (or ldpi, or hdpi... depends of your device) and locate an image named statusbar_background.9.png
Open that image with your favorite image editor, and make it as transparent as you desire. You can fill the image with a pattern... or a solid color... or using a gradient, it doesn't matter (note that the image has an 1 pixel margin with some black pixels, don't make them transparent).
Recompile the apk, and flash it. Reboot to see the changes.

I was just giving him info that it'll not be universal
And about your method. It isn't necessary that framework uses png for status bar color. Samsung touchwiz ROMs(atleast for devices I know) use hex colors to determine status bar color.

Oh. That would work! But only for ICS+. I am using GB so never got an idea about Xposed Module.
Yes, that would work as the sole purpose of Xposed is to remove specific dependencies of framework and make it hackable.

Hello, as others have already pointed out, in android 4.4 there are no stat_sys_battery pngs in systemui.
I would like to completely hide the battery icon but without being able to find the stat_sys_battery pngs i can't find a solution to do it.
If anyone know the way to hide the icon i would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Don't think its very possible to completely in 4.2+ roms, as the battery functions consist of the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk.

Yes... But when disabling it via gravitybox it disappears at first, but after a few seconds it reappears. Moreover, if i also choose a different icon from gravitybox, then i end up with two battery icons. The rom's stock one and the gravity one

That's one of the more desirable features for most, but can't please em all. But without knowing what phone you have, what update it's on, if you have a custom rom or recovery, etc, there won't be a way to even point you in the right direction. There isn't a generic setting to just switch on or off to change this feature as it is themed in the SystemUi.apk and / or framework stuff, depending on what you have.

Well, then that should be fairly easy, as it has the Theme Chooser built in. There are hundreds of themes that will work on that, including ones for CM10, and many have solid status bars. Another option, if you don't want to theme anything else would be using something like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v2-9-1-tweak-box-android-t2316070
It needs the Xposed Framework:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401
Keep in mind, using ART instead of Dalvik runtime will cause Xposed not to work properly.

I installed it, but I don't see any tweak related with that...
Ok, after you install Xposed, you have to install Gravity Box (KK). You can download from inside the Xposed Framework under Downloads. Once you have the framework and GB installed, you need to make sure under Modules that GB (KK) is switched on, then reboot. After you reboot, everything will be activated and you can go into the Gravity Box interface and under Status Bar Tweaks > Statusbar colors > You can click to enable and set your colors.
There are lots of other cool tweaks that GB has too. Not all of them are compatible with every set up, so make sure you remember what you are trying to enable, so you can disable if it doesn't work the way you are looking for.
If you want to disable GB, if it does not fit your needs, then you can just uninstall the app and reboot, or just uncheck the box in the Modules section of Xposed in case you want to try it again later.
If that doesn't work, there are some other modules that might, like the Xblast one (also in the Download repo for Xposed).

I did that, but just the icon color changes, but the statusbar is still translucent.
You see?

The option was in "Visulization options" (or something like that. I have my phone in spanish)
Thank you!!!

Yea, sorry, I guess mine is doing the same thing. I just tried the Xblast Tools though, and that one worked for me.

Hi! Is there a way to disable the traslucent status bar on android 6.0.1 (samsung galaxy s6 edge), the black bar was soooo useful to me, I don't want to install any theme, thanks!!
I've rooted and installed g3 tweakbox and gravitybox. However I cannot figure out where to change the soft keys!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Or is there another tweak I need??
THanks!
It's in settings and accessibility I think
I know you can change them in the settings of the phone but you need to keep a solid background. I wanted to use a transparent background and still change them.
There's an option for transparent but idk what your talking about
I actually found a thread on some Italian site that had an apk that worked and let me keep the bar transparent!

If not, what are the consequences of rooting, and can I reverse it for warranty reasons if I need to.

You have a lot of searching and reading to do. There are way more than a few options. Just the simplest "no root status bar mods" Google search pulls up everything you want.

without root you can't. And even with root there's no mod / xposed module specificly made for our phone (which uses own framework files).
To root you must unlock your bootloader, which means Sony (manufacturer) warranty void but laws in your Country should still protect you.
Now you can backup your DRM key which can be restored if you want to go back to locked bootloader (restoring DRM device key will relock the bootloader. search in the z5 forums for more info)
Gravitybox xposed module lets you add modded battery icon and color some icons and there might be other xposed modules similar. If you want, you can follow these guides to modify the required files yourself (needs a bit of learning if it's a new thing for you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816
(there's a guide regarding battery icon on xperia phones, it might be useful also for Marshmallow).
As far as i know, since Kitkat, status bar icon editing has become quite complicated because icons are drawed by the system and no more rendered from .png image files.

I suppose that a status bar overlay over original status bar is quite different from "changing status bar icons". Not even thinking about battery drain that such an overlay would require, it might be relevant.
You can't change status bar icons without root. It would be possible if Sony added this possibility in its Theming Engine.
But as far as i know, this isn't available.
Could you name the other Xposed modules that can theme status bar and work on stock xperia MM?
Does Xstana work for you?

Android theme engine, flat style indicators and xstana are three that I have paid for. Xstana being my favorite, flat style is limitless in style but doesn't show traffic. As far as non root idk for lollipop or marshmallow but kitkat there are mods that aren't overlays, you can even theme notification panels. Transparent status/notification bars were a big deal with a few of the themes I used to run.
Edit: I see you've said since KitKat status bars have changed. All the more reason to root.
