Like with G3 tweaksbox you can change all kinds of things like colors of status bar icons like the battery, signal strength, wifi, data, etc. Can change clock position and format and color. Can change led notification colors, and many other things. Anything like this for Galaxy phones/touch wiz?
Check out my current home screen. Want to duplicate this on the edge s7. Is it possible?

It is not easy to find stuff on this. All I found was themes for Touchwiz and gravity box but not sure if gravity box is compatible, assuming the s7 edge is rooted. Could someone please give me a name of the app or module. Not sure why it has to be so secret. Assuming you know the answer, why not just help me? Very frustrating when I see people on here refuse to help and instead tell people to search the thread or whatever.
Edit: Also, it appears the nav bar buttons are actually hardware capacitive buttons. I'm assuming that there is no way to change their colors nor add buttons. Coming from a LG G3 that has software nav buttons so not sure how customizable samsung galaxy phones can be. This is a huge factor for me and any input on my questions would be greatly appreciated.

There are a number of XPOSED Widgets - some work some don't -
Gravity Box MM - XBLAST - Wanam Exposed - all have varying degrees of success with changing colors on Status Bar icons - there is another one - I forget the name - Android Theme Xposed or something like that - not sure if they all have been brought up to Marshmallow yet or not but many worked beautifully on Lollipop - in time they and others will show up for Marshmallow.
Search thru the Xposed Repository - and you are sure to find some nice ones...
There are and have been a number of ROMS that gave that kind of control -
AraMod on the Note 5, Hyperdrive on the Note 5, Alliance Framework on the Note 4 and S6) all have that capability - it is only a matter of time until they or someone like them develops for the S7 - at Least I hope so -
You'll certainly need to root and try one of the xposed modules available. There are several custom roms that allow you to do this was well.
The best one i could find and i use is "Flat Style Colored Bars", with tons of customizations.
Flat Style Colored Bar Indicators
Flat Style keyboard (with Google keyboard)
PerfectColorBars
And ur set. Dno why everyone made that so hard

Hello! I am curious on a feater of the LG G2 im heartset on it and my only concern is that you cannot get the brightness toggle in your notification bar? I am aware that the ATT version and international have it out of the box and was curious if there is an option anywhere in the phone to activate it on the verizon G2?
Thanks in advance!
I have not seen a mod for it yet. I also like having the slider on the notification bar or status display but it's because I never use the auto brightness on other phones.
The G2 has an adjustable auto brightness. I set the auto brightness to the level I like and I have not messed with it since. The adjustable auto brightness is a rarely talked about but very useful feature of the G2 for me. It is a little bit slow making it's adjustments but that doesn't bother me. Overall, it does an excellent job of keeping the brightness at a level I would pick if I were adjusting it myself.
Mine has it...

Mine has the toggle too, but since the other carriers have the slider and Verizon doesn't, I was guessing the question was about that.
Yeah after reading your post I became confused about what the question was. It wouldn't let me edit my post though.

Verizon has it. Its not on the bar by default, IIRC, but you can edit the bar contents and enable the button, along with a whole slew of others. You can take off things like QuickRemote, QSlide, etc. as well, which some people have said they don't want.
There are so many settings and tuning methods for this phone, I haven't needed any mods at all yet. The only one I'm thinking of doing is the nav bar mods to hide when not needed or change button combinations.
Thanks!
thanks for the help guys
How?

how do i acess those settings? and does it give me the slider?
Is there some way (Cyanogenmod or other CustomROM...?) to modify Nexus7 to get more real screen estate (especially in landscape mode) in modern android versions (Jelly Bean, Kitkat)?
I think that the best way to do this would be
1. in portrait mode combine virtual navigation buttons and status bar into one bar that is in lower edge of the screen (Honeycomb style).
2. in landscape mode have a vertical navigation bar (Nexus4, Nexus5, Xperia Z style) in right edge of the screen
3. for even more estate in landscape mode integrate status bar into the vertical navigation bar (modded Honeycomb style. Otherwise pretty simle but displaying time numbers vertically might seem and odd solution but in the long run it is the most efficient solution).
I did even a feature request of this to Android in code.google.com:
"More real screen estate for android tablets by virtual navigation button / status bar customizations"
It is just such a pity. Nexus7, a tablet with so much potential becomes so much an unfinished product when turning it into landscape. Even this tablet (Procaster Mid 007) that costs only 70eur utilizes space better than Nexus7:
And Galaxy Tab3 7.0 is way ahead in real screen estate/usability.
Just get xposed with gravity box and LMT. Done. If you're rooted anyway.

This seems to be far too complicated "hacker's solution" (and does not officially work with 4.4. kitkat). Is there any simpler way to prevent navigation bar from rotating?

I'm not sure what you mean by rotating?
And no....if you're rooted...installing xposed and gravity box is simple. Installing lmt is simple....hide navigation bar with gravity box....gain real estate at bottom of screen (as OP was asking about) and lmt is like pie. And its nice once you get used to it.
Whole process (assuming you're rooted) takes about 7 minutes.

Yep. Agreed.
@golemus...
Xposed is really simple to install (see link in my sig)... assuming your rooted of course. GravityBox is then installed via the Xposed app itself... and future updates are maintained accordingly. Think of the Xposed app as a sort of repository of all Xposed modules, of which GravityBox is just one. Easy to install, and easy to maintain... and it does work on KitKat 4.4.2... I have it running on my Nexus 7.
IMHO, Xposed framework is the best thing to happen to Android... and GravityBox is just terrific. It offers a whole plethora of great tweaks.
I'm not familiar with LMT though... definitely going to have to have a tinker with that.

I don't like installing anything that you can't get from Google Play store, and I didn't find gravitybox or lmt from there (although I did find some xposed thing from there).
And also I found another (partial) solution, I installed a program called "Auto Hide Soft Keys". Although it was not exactly the solution I wanted, now I have virtual navigation bar in right side of the screen but it is invisible by default and when you swipe it to be visible it will cover something else from the right edge of the screen. You can choose it to be all the time visible but then it will all the time cover content from the right edge. So I have to hide it, which causes that for me to press home, back or multitask buttons I need to acts (first swipe from right edge to get the bar to appear and then press a button in the bar).
A bit offtopic but every time I post something i need to fill a captcha, it is very annoying. Is there any way to get rid of them?
Try it the 4.3 roms. Most of them supports full screen mode with PIE.

I found gravity box, and installed id successfully. However, the only option is to force navbar into tablet like mode, so horizontal when landscape, there is no inverse option to keep it vertical when landscape. How can I approach this?
Also, what is LMT and where to find it? I didn't find it in xposed repository.
Type "LMT xda" in Google. Boom.

For stock... GB is the only way.
But many Roms will have options for this, or by default even. ?

That pretty much means you'll need a custom Rom that supports it.

Hey guys. So yesterday all of a sudden I just couldn't pull down the notification bar anymore. After factory resetting my phone it still didn't work so I assume the digitizer is broken.
Now I don't really have money to replace it and I don't want to break even more of my phone so I'm looking for an alternative way to pull down the notification bar which should be working system-wide (maybe through a softkey press or gesture?)
I'm running the latest AOSPA 4.6 Beta 2 if that's of any relevance.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me as it's really annoying to not being able to pull the notifications down.

first, try flashing factory images then test.. if it still doesn't work, its the digitizer.
use a launcher that has a shortcut to pulldown the statusbar, or add a button on the navbar to do it (xposed and some ROMs like slimkat can do that)

I've already tried that, doesn't seem to work for me. The notification bar can be pulled down when in landscape mode. However if the navigation bar is at the notification bars usual spot, it won't work either. So I'm pretty sure it's the digitizer.
I need a system-wide solution so the launcher isn't an option as it would only work on the homescreen. I already looked into xposed modules but I can't seem to find one which allows me to set a button for notification pull-downs.

GravityBox module has navbar customization and if i remember right it has a button (or a tap and hold action) that pulls it down. check that module.
Thanks a lot! That did the trick. I was using Xblast previously and it didn't have such an option. Works just fine in GravityBox! It'll take a while to get used to it but you just made my day.

As the title states, I've installed Screwd and I'm going for a red theme.. I've changed the clock and nav bar buttons via the ROM options, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the battery, WiFi signal, mobile signal and other potential icons which pop up.
Quite simply I'd like to edit them, an app would be preferable, I'm aware that I can edit some files to get the desired colours although I'd like to avoid that as its a bit of a ballache if you don't do that a lot..
Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: I won't use xposed so that option is out.
Edit: just realised I hadn't put "Colours" I don't want to edit the image of the icons, just the colour.
Thanks again.
I'd check out layers.
However I use xposed for all theming needs. I would reconsider using it

Would layers be functional with a CM based ROM ? AFAIK screwd is CM based so not sure if this would work..will look into it cheers.
Edit: OK so as far as i can see, it is compatible but it doesn't alter the status bar icons..at least not on their own. Unless I'm not seeing something.
And no I wouldn't use xposed it murders battery life.
This is as far as I've got with it. ROM toolbox doesn't even have icons for cm13. So annoying.
Any other ideas
Anyone???
Hi! My I am on 5.0 using the stock Samsung TouchWIZ ROM (I heard you can't dial 911 on custom ROMs on this phone so that terrified me) but anyway I have Wanam Xposed installed and it has an option for displaying the date in the status bar along with the time. The time only shows up. Not the date. If I tell Wanam to move the clock to the center, it will do that, which is weird because it has SOME control over the clock but cannot seem to get the date up there?
I also installed GravityBox and surprisingly a lot of features work however, just like Wanam, I can't seem to get the date and/or day of the week to show up in my status bar.
Anyone know what's going on? Thank you!
Not all features work. That's known.

I don't mean to sound dumb but why would it be an option then? I thought the point of Wanam was to make options available that worked with Samsung phones.
I am not complaining. I am just confused as to why the option would be there then. Similarly, some options using GravityBox work just fine that aren't in Wanam, such as adjusting the brightness by swiping across the statusbar and clicking back twice to enable/disable screen rotation.
