stock rom 9505XXUAMDM change transparant to black bar - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

solved

I believe that changing the wallpaper to one that was not preloaded in the phone by default would make the bar black? You can try that without messing with the system files.

Go to pa preferences/apps find your launcher and change the transparency of navbar & status bar there. Also on the interface page. Scroll to the bottom & do the same thing there.

Add wallpapers.

Does anyone know of a way to add wallpapers to the list of provided wallpapers that come with the phone? I don't know if you have noticed but when you use these wallpapers the status bar becomes transparent on the home screens but reverts to normal colour if you use any other type of wallpaper. This would allow a transparent status bar with any wallpaper without the issues that come with forcing transparency with frameworks like 3minit (an ugly grey status bar in apps etc.)

I have tried the transparency in 3mint and it leaves the bar looking a really ugly grey in certain applications. What I'm looking for is the status bar to be transparent on the homescreen in TW but normal everywhere else. The provided wallpapers do this.

I've got it to work, I decompiled the stock SecWallpaperChooser.apk and changed the ones I didn't like for some of my own ones. Then recompiled and it works fine.
Keep original file names and image sizes and make 2 images, one is the thumbnail and one the main image.
I made a new apk icon for the wallpapers too, the image is in the same folder within the apk.

[Q] Clear Notification Bar available without installing a new ROM?

I've looked and not been able to find, but has anyone created a sideloading app for this?

i believe that after the new update, it enables a semi-transparent status bar which works with all wallpapers. I heard that if you want to keep root, don't update, but I guess this is one way to get the new status bar :silly:

You could always try a launcher... Like Apex that allows for a transparent notification bar.

Only if you run samsung wallpapers.
Nova launcher also gives you the option of a trans status bar..no matter what wallpaper you use.

With the latest update, all wallpapers are supported with a semi-transparent status bar (even on the Touchwiz Home launcher).

Note 3 Widgetlocker problem

Having a problem with Widgetlocker on my Note 3...
Installed Widgetlocker via direct purchase from teslacoilsw.com. Software is installed & basically 'works', but I'm unable to pull up the Add menu via long press. Tool mode and/or lockscreen...neither pull up the Add menu. What's strange is I get some haptic feedback during long press in tool mode and if I tap around a bit & can get random stuff to happen (like adding an app shortcut to the screen). It's like the menu is 'there' but it's not visible or something. Any suggestions?
Reinstalled & all's good now...nm. (mods, delete post if needed)
~thx
Hi,having the same problem...for my case if you used custom wallpaper then the add menu is like hidden behind the wallpaper,maybe you need to check using custom wallpaper first
Sent the dev an email and he's looking into it. I found that using an alternate wallpaper doesn't do good either.

Would love to be able to send the developer and email. After figuring a way to install on the Note 3, since it shows unavailable for Note 3 on "play" - now I have the pull down notification bar sitting "behind" whatever I add to my Widgetlocker screen...making the pull down virtually unusable...maybe if you could tell me how to submit this to developer...?

On the play store I believe there is a link. As a work around I hide the notification bar and use Dashclock. I also think the dev just became a "daddy" so we may have to wait a bit.

I was wondering how you could hide the lockscreen notification bar.
I am using nova launcher prime and that easily lets me hide the homescreen notification bar but I couldn't figure out how to disable it on lockscreen.

Since you're rooted you can use autohide soft keys from the Play Store. It hides the Nav bar and you activate it by swiping up from the bottom. It takes ten minutes to get used to it. And while you're at it..You can hide the status bar on a per app base with the app settings module. You have to install the xposed framework first (and put the uninstaller on your sd, search it here on xds). You can then activate the status bar on swipe with smart status bar from the store.
Might take a while to set up this from scratch, but you end up with a screen without any buttons or bars as long as you don't call them. You asked for the transparent Navbar, I recommend the invisible one. See Screenshot to see what my nova settings, my browser (and every other app on my phone) look like, with bars hidden and bars called.

Its a wallpaper that comes with the G2. When you select a wallpaper, you can choose it as an option for where you want to get your wallpaper for.
I can confirm this works for me as well. Im using Action Launcher, and the status bar is transparent when i use Multi-Wallpaper.
the aicp rom for verizon phones does this. its awesome. not sure if its avail for tmo.

Did you mean "multi-photo" mode to set wallpaper? I've tried it on Apex Launcher but the navigation bar didn't become transparent [and yes I've enabled transparent bar in the display setting already]. Am I missing something here?
