So with the drawer locked (little button) it's not see through but with it unlocked but on screen you can see through. Why can't I see through on locked mode like on Google phone.

EDIT: SORRY, re-reading for like the sixth time I see I did misunderstand your question. You are only asking about ONE on screen button that is opaque vs translucent -- and the conditions WHY -- not about the entire navigation bar (which LG calls Home Touch buttons) being translucent or even visible. Anyway, hope my answer below this helps someone else!
To answer YOUR question... maybe LG feels that one button being opaque is an easy visual indicator it is locked. Then, unlocked it's translucent. Whereas Google doesn't have such styling concerns.

If I'm understanding the question correctly, and I admit I may not...
It had to do with whether you are in full screen mode or not. Sometimes called immersive mode. When NOT in that mode, you will always have the navigation buttons at the bottom. LG calls them "Home Touch buttons".
When in that mode, navigation buttons are translucent or even missing (invisible). When missing you can swipe up from the bottom to make them appear. They will then appear and be translucent. You might want immersive mode for videos or such.
There's a Settings menu to decide which apps you always want to be in immersive mode. Or you can manually do it by clicking on that very left small arrow button on the by navigation bar (unless you've rearranged the icons). I think you referred to it as "locking the drawer" which confused me.
I really only want video to be immersive. With this V30 tall screen, I don't mind visible navigation buttons at the bottom.
I found this issue because my corporte email app, called Nine, didn't have arrows at the bottom for me to go back easily. I could swipe up and force the navigation bar to appear, but other apps were not that way. Sort of irritating. So,I found the Settings menu with all my apps listed, where Nine had this "feature" enabled. I disabled it for that app.
This may not be exactly what you're asking about, and if so then I apologize.

I have looked and looked and search turns up nothing.

P.S. complete novice.

(the"01:08" part on the top bar)

It's easy,
Download and install HTCustom from here:
http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
In the "UI" tab you can select in Clock Display one of these options:
Time, Date, Both, Nothing or Battery
Select the one you like, save and soft reset.
Cheers,
Works a treat, only thing is it now hides the volume and half the signal status icons.
If i tap in the empty space it does bring up the volume slider, The icon is just invisble.
when i open a program its is still shown like above.
If i slide open then close again (refreshing the screen) it looks fine. but once back to the today screen it it goes back to like the image above.
On another tanget, the battery status bar (Lordsmiff's) at the top doesnt always work.
I have to stop and restart the app to get an accurate reading, that or view the power status in the settings tab, then go back to the today screen.
Anyone able to shed some light on either of these matters?
Cheers

You might also try this. It comes in different flavors. I just installed it tho so i dont know if it will have the same problem.
I came from Samsung and really miss the Menu Key at the bottom.
Z Ultra menu key is at the top in all programs and really a pain to get the finger there.
I found 2 Mods in Xperia Z forum and I think it may be work on my rooted Ultra as most of the things are same.
But, we don't have CWM Recovery and can't flash. Anyone able to try below?
4 Button Nav Bar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386741
5 Button Nav Bar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399012
I know Ultimate Dynamic Navbar, but it is not like real Navbar and cover-up the items(eg., Keyboard) under it.
Cheers!
You may try 'Auto Hide Soft Keys'. You will not need the cwm to install this app.

Thanks. But, I don't want to hide soft keys.
I just want Menu Soft Key in Navigation Bar(Soft Key Bar).
That one can make it happen, but as well as hide soft keys when you dont use them.
By the way, in my view, most menu still remains the same position on the top right of the screen, wherever appears the menu button.
So, hopes u know what i am saying...XD
Thanks. Auto Hide is quite same with Ultimate Dynamic Navbar and cover-up the keyboard.
But with UDN, the stock Navbar can hide and make Android think it has Hardware Menu Button. So, menu boxes show at bottom.
Just what I found out and still not found what I need.
Cheers!
I am using UDN, I think the App is Fantastic :good:

Have you tried installing the Xposed Framework + GravityBox?
Here's my setup (sorry for the screenshot; I'm a big Loki fan)

}
The leftmost button adds a sort of favorite app launcher that houses 8 apps you can predefine using GravityBox. The rightmost button is Menu and launches the menu on other apps as well.
I found that the transparency doesn't work though; the color must be hardcoded in by Sony. It's a problem that I'm willing to overlook because I have the extra two buttons though.
I recently upgraded from a G3 to a G5. I've done pretty well at adjusting it to my needs, or adjusting to its ways of doing things. But the Do Not DIsturb being buried solely in the Settings menu is really driving me nuts. On the G3, when you hit any volume button, and it opens the volume panel, the Do Not Disturb was accessible there. You could turn it on, set it to Silent or Priority and set a time duration, all from that panel. Now I can turn Do Not Disturb on from the main drop-down on the phone, but I have to open up the settings, from the Settings menu, in order to put in what type of Do Not Disturb I want, and for how long. I have a lot of doctors appointments and I'm starting classes in a few weeks. I would really prefer to have a faster and easier way to access DnD, similar to what was on the G3.
Does anyone know if there's a setting, shortcut, widget, or anything along those lines, that can simplify turn on DnD, with access to its settings at the time you activate it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Maybe this is not what you're looking for, but a "do not disturb" button can be added to the notification screen. Short press to turn it on/off, long press will take you into settings.
This screenshot is from my G6, but my wife's G5 works the same way. "Do no disturb" is second from right.

It doesn't fully give me what I'd like - which is the ability to turn on DnD and set the parameters of it all at once, on the home screen, as I could with the G3. But it does save me several steps in the process, in several processes actually, knowing that if I hold down on those items in the notification screen it will open straight to their settings. I did not know that. And it's going to simplify a lot of things for me. Just knowing I can easily open Wifi networks, Bluetooth devices, and the like, from that screen, is extremely helpful. Thanks!
Hi guys,
Is there any possible way to disable/remove the auto rotation button on galaxy s9+
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is a way and personally I haven't found anything. This appears to be something Google did with Android Pi, it shows up in Nova Launcher also. From what I can tell by reading and useage (during the beta) the button appears when orientation lock is activated, when it is set to auto-rotate the button doesn't show up at all. I don't see any app or setting that controls it, so it maybe something that requires some form of app or other modification to get rid of.
I have only seen it appear when rotation lock is active and the phone has detected itself as being held opposite of what the rotation lock is set at. For example if the screen is locked at portrait orientation then the button only appears when it is held in landscape orientation.

There shouldbe a way because if I enable or diasable auto-rotation I don't have that icon on my screen. (and I don't know how to make it appear)

Haven't come across a good Hints/Tips/Tricks thread for this phone, so figured I'd start something up. Feel free to add anything!
Tired of white notifications when using Dark Mode?
Install "Power Shade" from the Playstore to open up customization options for your notification window, and better yet, set the background colour of notification windows to anything you like!
It also ads the option for a little bar that lets you "swipe down for notifications" rather than using LG's option for a button in the tray.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns&hl=en_US
Unfortunately Power Shade removes the option in the notification to change your audio source (BT, phone speakers, etc.)
I simple fix is an app called "Smart Audio Switch" that allows a permanent notification that brings back functionality.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codococo.smartaudiorouter&hl=en_US
Want to use "Wide Mode" and use both screens for any app?
Most of you already know about this, but the app called "G8X Wide Mode" allows you to use any app across both screens.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode&hl=en_US
Want to use the LG Game Pad for games that only play in portrait?
One of the only games I play on my phone is called "Vista Golf" which is just a little mini putt game, but with gorgeous yet simple graphics, and an endless number of randomly generated courses.
I was excited to play the game with the game pad, however the game pad really only works in landscape, and Vista Golf plays in portrait.
I use an app called "Control Screen Orientation" which you can use to force apps into landscape.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ahapps.controlthescreenorientation&hl=en_US
This enabled me to use the LG Game Pad with the game, and setup a custom controller and works great.
Hate the old "Lollipop" Rolodex style task switcher?
For the life of me I have no idea why LG implemented the old rolodex style task switcher, seems so out dated.
Fortunately there is a simple fix.
If you go to Settings>Display>Home Touch Buttons and change from "Buttons Only" to "Gesture and Buttons", it completely changes the style of the task switcher.
You still get a back and a home button, and a simple swipe up from anywhere on the nav button pane will bring up a proper task switching menu.
You can go from this:
