Hi anyone-who-can-possibly-help,
I have been wondering if it would be possible to make the background panel of notifications on the lock screen transparent/invisible.
I am using Lock Clean for Substratum and have tried Transparent Theme but this applies globally and I don't the theme applied to the notification panel or heads up notifications.
I understand there is probably going to be a limitation of Substratum but if anyone can think of any other way of implementing this I would be ever grateful however I have a feeling this is going to be something that was only going to be possible with something akin to Xposed to which there is no alternative to (with the exception of maybe Magisk) on 7.x.x+ at this time.
Thank you in advance!

Try the good old fashion way and modify your own xmls instead of using things like Substratum, Xposed etc.

So I'm presuming from that that what I'm trying to achieve is possible? Is there anywhere you can point me in the direction of to start my research?
I'm more than happy to figure it out myself and I'm not asking for a handout. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated however.

I'd start by looking at your SystemUI colors.xml first and/or googling guides for your phone to see if it's been done before.
Hm... I am also interested in this, let me know if find anything. I also looked into possibly creating my own substratum theme to make this happen as well (the basics as to how to get it done)

Is there a way you can make a Simpsons theme?
Speaking practically, is there a way you can remove the persistent AT&T from the notification bar?
I've also read requests elsewhere for a black notification bar.
Ultimately, I don't know the extent to which you can tweak things, so I'm just going straight for the jugular regarding the things that bother me most.
Thanks for going ahead and sharing this, and putting yourself out there for requests.
I like the green status bar, can/how post that?

I will dbl check but as of now i think att&t has to stay :-( but i can def put together a black notification bar theme
In the other thread about the black bar, the OP was able to remove the ATT. However, during the edits, something happened that now we get FC in settings. OP is trying to fix it, but if you can take a look too to speed things up?

Sweet, i'd really appreciate it.
It maybe a stretch but I ran CM6.1 before this phone and I miss the phone/ringer/messaging/unlock and gesture functions. If you can get one or both going that would be sweet. Also I miss having my lock screen music controls.
Moved to themes and apps as not android development
Its possible to remove the AT&T from the notification bar. Change framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml, and carrier length and padding to zero on line 5.

I agree, how ever shouldn't the rest of these threads just like mine ... or ones titled ROM even though its nothing but a system dump moved as well ? After all with out a recovery, bootloader access, or kernel access, this will be as custom as it come

framework-res.apk doesn't exist in system/framework on the Atrix.
I only see blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk
Digging through the files now.
Need to be redux...to do this right?

I was curious about that, but cannot see it in my framework folder.
I'm using Droid Explorer from my desktop and Super Manager from my phone and I cannot see that one file at all.
EDIT: duh... figured it out.
It was there the whole time. Known file extensions was turned off.
Thanks for the Simpsons theme. Is it flashable?

yes, i will be adding more today and another simpsons one soon
after looking through many forums and some personal trial and error, i've decided to give this section a try.
i dont know crap about developing. i know how to flash through recovery, use basic adb commands, decompile apks, and open up the files in notepad++. thats about it. but i really want to start and i thought that some (relatively) simple changes to the system ui would give me a good starting point. but i'm trying to fumble my way through the systemui.apk from newts sense 5 rom to attempt a mod. but, like i said, i have to idea what im looking for. since sense 5 is so new, i cant find anything about it, and from looking, all the ui names and directories are slightly different.
my main goal is to gain a semi-transparent notification drawer background. if possible, i would like to attempt to get the app drawer background semi transparent also (but i'll cross that bridge later)
so if anyone can point me in the right direction, to a thread or the actual file in the apk, i would be most appreciative. i could even kick down a small donation for somebody that has the time. thanks
AFAIK it's framework.apk and thismay help

I'm on the stock rom (4.1.2) i'm wondering if someone can edit my SystemUI.apk to make my status bar looks like official Samsung's kitkat
You could always try Nova Launcher, pretty sure that has the gradient status bar. That would be easier than modifying the system ui.

Hope you saved a copy of the original file. Yeah, I've tried dabbling with system files in the past, but had similar results. You have to get pretty seriously into it, and there's a lot to learn. Gives you an appreciation for what the developers actually do.
Developers usually do what they are interested in, rather than what someone else is interested in. I doubt if anyone with the skill to do that is still using or interested in this phone.

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
Greetings!
I've been searching for a way to truly disable the NavBar on Samsung Oreo, I don't want to just hide the NavBar, I want to truly disable it but I haven't found a way to do this on Oreo yet.
Can anyone help me find a way to achieve this???
Best regards!

It's called "hide navigation bar", you can find it in the download section of the app.
Without root
Is there a way to do it without a root? Like this used to work https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742
EDIT
I think I have found a solution. Please check my later comment on this thread "https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742/post76057934#post76057934"

Hey thx, it worked. This will do for now.
I do have space on the keyboard just like you do. Hopefully someone comes along who can fix it.

I always ended up spacing out space under the keyboard in the other older method anyway so didn't really notice. I find it's more natural to type a bit higher up.
If it's helped please do check out my thread I made on the method and thumbs it up for others
Hey everyone, I actually found a way to remove status bar completely and not have the space under the keyboard. It requires ADB so you'll need a computer with ADB drivers and us debugging enabled on your device. Depending on your situation (what kind of navigation you want to use; OnePlus gestures, Xhome bar etc) this might not work. I currently use OnePlus gestures. There's a setting you enable to remove the navigation bar but you need to give the app ADB access. You'll as well need an app to enable immersion (I use systemui tuner) The result is no navigation bar. This is the only thing I've got working well for me and OnePlus gesture app can be customized a lot.
I hope this helped, and if anyone needs clarification I'll give it.
