HTC One M7 :: Way To Make Status / Notification Bar Transparent
Oct 21, 2013
New to Androids and the HTC One.
1. Is there any way to make the status/notification bar transparent on my HTC One?
I installed the apex launcher which allows me to hide the status bar entirely but I find that a bit annoying because I like to see the information on my notification bar at all times (i.e. time, connection). I just want the black strip to be transparent.
2. I just found out that there is an update to the software (4.3) and I'm currently on 4.1.2. If I install the update, will everything on my phone reset? Will I lose the layout of my icons with the apex launcher or Sense?
3. I've seen alot of people complain about 4.3 for various bugs. Do Androids receive fixes to such bugs quickly? My concern is that if I do update, I don't want to be on a buggy system for too long.
I am using widgetlocker with dashclock on my lock screen of my 4.3 sense 5.5 device. One thing that's bugging me is that I want to change the status bar so it's transparent on the lock screen. At the moment it's black.
How do you make the status bar invisible? I saw people doing this by adding an effect in Photoshop to the top of their wallpapers. I can't figure it out. I tried searching and found nothing.
For no apparent reason, the status bar on my homepage is transparent. My phone is not jailbroken. I have tried restarting and putting different wallpapers up to see if it changes, but it does not. To be clear, I don't really mind the look of the transparent bar, but I am concerned that something is going wrong with my phone or there has been some sort of attack on the phone, especially since all of the information I can find about this suggests that the phone has to be jailbroken for the status bar appearance to be changed. I would like to know that I could change it back to the normal status bar if I wanted to.
Updated M8 to Lollipop (not by a custom ROM), are the Google Apps displayed with transparent notifications? (in other words, does the color extend to the very top on all of the google apps?)
I want report a bad feature of our Sony with on-screen touch keys.
The navigation bar that contains the soft touch keys remains black in all apps (exception Album and olther Sony's apps). This feels very bad to see, so there is a solution, a mod, an app WITHOUT ROOT to have a transparent or semi-transparent navigation bar?
For example, in Chrome, will be perfect to have transparent navigation bar to see full web full page!
I've just had a small update to my Z3 and the status bar has reverted to a blue colour rather than the transparent that it usually is. It only occurs when using the Google Now Launcher, and is fine using the Xperia one..
I have rooted, de-bloated, and installed an LED notification manager, which has made my phone nearly perfect. The only lagging issue is the overly busy Status/Notification bar and drop-down. Things I would like to change:
Status Bar - remove AM/PM from the clock - remove NFC icon when active - change battery status to something that takes up less space, the default is icon AND percentage. I'd ideally love to use the Circle Battery Mod.
Drop Down - remove the brightness slider - remove the "s finder" and "quick connect" buttons.
I would like something to add icons to my status bar for when i have email etc. Nothing fancy, nice and simple but retina icons would be nice. Any recommendations?
Somewhere along the way I lost the "Reply, Delete" and body of messages in my notification window(just have a single height notification). I've uninstalled anything notification related, and reset Gmail back to factory, but haven't had any luck.
I don't want other people to read my SMS when they holding my Xperia X10 Mini Pro in their hand.Is there any way I can disable SMS notification on the Status bar?
In my neo v, gmail is not showing new mails in notification bar but email notification is enabled in gmail settings. Checked after mecafee uninstallaed, still facing the same issue..
What I did but when I swipe the status bar down nothing happens and if I hit the button on the left bottom side near the home button to close open tasks, it doesn't work either. I restarted the phone and shut it off for a few minutes, neither worked. What did I do and how do I fix it?
I have a bold 9000 thru ATT. For the last 2 months, many people who have sent me emails get this notification that the email couldn't be delivered. I have received the email and some of the emails are several months old! All the emails come from postmaster@att.blackberry.net.
I tried Lollipop for a loooong time and now I'm sick and tired. I downgraded to 4.4.4 but I have a persistent notification in the status bar saying that the new system update to android 5.0.1 is available. But I don't want it!
Is there a way to disable that notification? It is very anoying. I tried to download FOTAkill.apk and put it in system/apps with rw--r-r- permissions but doesn't work. I know that the simplest solution is to install a custom rom but I am very happy with stock rooted + xposed + modules.
I hate to ask this, but I did not find an answer while searching through the forum.Is there a way to turn off or remove the Status Bar / Notification Bar battery icon. I have found that I like Battery Monitor Widget's icon better, but I do not want two icons in my status bar.
Now i m using official 4.0.4 based custom Rom,i have used all custom roms....(also check Cm9) But problem in official 4.0.4 based custom Rom is that Notification up and Down is lagging and 3d games are not smooth like Temple Run,Modern combact, gta 3,etc.. Running official 4.0.4 is like i m running Nokia 5233 i also overclock cpu 1ghz to 1.8ghz for increase fps for games and fix otification laggyness but overclock alteast not helpful... i also check Cm9..it is 2x smooth ui and games also...Temple run is run like super gingerbread.. but the problem in CM9 is that video recorder not working so thats why i m not using... If Cm9 runs smooth on this device so why official 4.0.4 is not smooth...
HARDWARE IS OK FOR XPERIA NEO V FOR ICS ics 4.0.4 can run smooth but sony does not want make smooth OS for old device 2011 for example: HTC One V also has same hardware like xperia neo v(1 ghz=1 ghz,Andreno 205 gpu=Andreno 205 gpu) htc one v is 10x smoother interface than xperia neo v, my friend has htc one v(temple run runs like fire) both devices has ics So why sony firmware not smooth......
So, What is the Solution to make smooth Notification bar Up and Down???
I would like to replace the flashing red LED (new message notification) with a constant red LED. It's a bit annoying having to wait ~5 seconds to see whether it's flashing or not. Constant red light would be much faster. In the profile options I can only choose between flashing and off.Is there a workaround for this or are there any 3rd party applications that could accomplish this?
how to make the voicemail notification icon go away? After checking and deleting all my voicemail, the icon remains in the toolbar. Hitting the Clear button does not work. Rebooting does not work. Turning the phone off and removing the battery and all cards does not work.
Is there a way to make the notification light blink more frequently? I don't want to use a messaging app because I really like Hangouts (dont judge me haha).
in the text message conversation view,there's only a soft sound alert when new messages are received.even when the screen is off, you get no popup preview or a regular notification sound whatsoever.the only way to keep getting the regular notification & previews is to quit the app each time you send out a text.often times when you are in the middle of something and are unable to focus on the phone itself for the conversation, you forget to quit the message app, then you are totally not aware there have been messages coming in because it only gives you a soft sound alert that's totally unable to hear when you're outside walking, or other similar scenarios
It's been bugging me for years, it's specially annoying when the other person I chat with isn't aware of this issue and ocassionally misses out my messages.i mean,if apple insists that to avoid this problem, the users MUST remember to quit the conversation RIGHT AFTER EVERY SINGLE LINE, this is just absolutely unrealistic.I now do it every time because I'm aware of the issue, but not the other people I have conversations with.I've had too many situations where I had to wait for a long time to receive response only to find out that the other person wasn't aware the new text messages, because it was simply too soft to hear, and completely no other sort of things to notify you with.so i wonder if there really isn't a way to change the notification behavior, cuz apparently it's impossible that I make everybody I send text to change their habits just for this.

I heard one of the 4.3 and Sense 5.5 features that the home screen bottom bar become transparent. I just updated and it's transparent only in the lock screen, once I'm in it's black again? Is there an option to turn it transparent or it's just a silly update from HTC like the previous ones.
