Is there a good app that will let me change the status bar icons and clock location that does not require root. I have tried a few on Google Play but none seem to do what I want them to.
Thanks.
Maybe try configuring something with Zooper or UCCW widget? You can use a launcher (I use Nova pro) to hide the actual status bar then use a widget in place of it, this way you can design it the way you want.

Not without root, sorry. streebs87's work around might do something for you, but you're not going to be able to configure the actual status bar at all without some sort of root tool.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.
"Color Status Bar" app will mod the quick buttons, clock location & style without root.
Edit @twillet50
8bit status bar well worth the price too.

That does part of what I want. Thanks for the tip!!
Also check out an app called Power Toggles. I love it. You can put customizable toggles in your notification drop down. Here's a screenshot from my phone:

Hey all you talented developers,...
as our SAMOLED Displays suffer from degradation of the organic LED when constantly emmiting bright white or blue,
some of us found here the need of a hideable status bar.
I searched all the internet and all of this forum but couldn´t find such an app.
Is there any app or widget possible which can hide or un-hide the status bar?
Or is there any adb code that hide it and onther adb code that un-hides it??
Any help would be highly welcome.
Somehow ist should be possible.... at least we are on android
greetz the bapsack
Edit:
P.S.
1. as far as I know no launcher hides the statusbar permanently
2. even though some (!) apps might support fullscreen the status bar is still there in most apps
Both LauncherPro and Zeam have hideable status bars. See market.
the status bar is only hidden in the launcher
if you open any app e.g. internet or navigation the status bar is back in its place
Try dolphin browser, it has full screen I think

I wonder if adding the notitlebar attribute in the framework manifest would work
No clue though, will try when have time or someone else could
Degradation? I don't think so.
Anu source?
I think the display only suffers from a minor burn-in problem, where the burn in disappears after somewhile.
well take this pic of a blank white screen aas a proof
you can still see the status bar as a shadow

ADW.Launcher has a hidable status bar. You just flick your finger UP, the status bar hides. Flick it UP again, it returns.
PS : I can fit in 5 rows of icons easily.

And it also can hide the dockbar

the aim is to hide the freakin status bar permanently
e.g.: even when navigating, web-browsing or running any other app
This adw.Launcher can NOT do!
Just start any app and zack, back is the statusbar no matter what launcher u use ADW.Launcher, Lauchner.Pro or Zeam
I have status bar burn in, viewable on the screen test blue background.
5 months, low brightness, status bar hidden most of the time using launcher pro.
Pretty sad really

That's not even a Galaxy S hah, and no burn in here with launcher pro 99% of it's life. I'm not sure how this is viewed, but if someone without a status bar is getting the same thing, it's seems a bit irrelevant in general to blame the status bar?
@bapsack
I accidently thanked you for that post hah wanted to quote it, anyways the reason for that is because it's not possible to replace that yet obviously, nothing integrates all the dynamic info it displays. It's required sorry bud!

tell me how to do and I will check
My bet is:
-make your notification bar 0-20% black
-set 50%/50%/20% R/G/B color for notification bar font and make icons with blurred edges in the same color
NO way you will get a burn.
Thnak you MACHETE.
Does someone know of a way to remove the status bar toggles? Is there a file to modify in systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk?
yes there is a way unfortunate im not that skilled
I'm listening... I'd love to get rid of the mobile data toggle. The others are useful, that one isn't.
I hope there is someone out there knowing the answer as I like to use my own toggles app and having two of them doesn't look goog at all.
Also I saw this screenshot showing a blue clock in the expanded notification bar and would like to know what to modify to change the color of the clock and the date? (this came from a Mod which included the toggles, I would only need the file and passage to edit for changing the color)
Any help is appreciated.
Hi guys, if you're seldom confused about whether it's night or morning, you might like this mod! It removes the AM/PM text from the statusbar clock when it's in 12-hour format. 24-hour clock folks obviously have no AM/PM indicator anyway, so you need not mess with this.
This mod alters framework-res.apk, which means it conflicts with burningmembers' small navbar mod. I really like the small navbar, so I've packed up a few different versions of this clock mod.
StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM.zip doesn't mess with the size of the nav bar, just removes the AM/PM text.
StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM-med-navbar_v0.2.zip comes with the medium sized navbar.
StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM-tiny-navbar.zip comes with the tiny navbar.
To revert, you can use the revert zip in burningmembers' thread.
AT&T
If you've got an AT&T device, please check out this AT&T thread.
Technical details:
For interested devs, this was a pretty simple one. The statusbar clock uses the value of the "twelve_hour_time_format" string resource in framework-res as the format string for a SimpleDateFormat. The default is "h:mm a". I just did a global search and replace to change all instances of "h:mm a" to "h:mm" (without the quotes). You have to do a global replace (i.e., "Replace all in files" in notepad++), so that you get all the various localizations. After recompiling, be sure to copy over the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from the original apk into the modified apk, or you'll get boot loops.

Aw man, I must have done something wrong when packaging it... I'll see if I can figure it out real quick and fix it.

Sorry about that. I fixed it and edited the OP to link to it. Got lost in the shuffle, I guess.
There we go! Excellent work
can you help with modding the status bar to look like AOSP? I've got the decompiling/recompiling thing down, but not sure what xmls to edit or how.
Thanks!
Edit: I didn't read your complete post....
Great mod. I am on clean rom and not trying to do too much in the way of mods. This is a good one. That status bar is way to cluttered. Just flashed and it worked fine. Thanks!! :good:
Nice. I just moved the clock to the right on mine so the AM/PM appears off screen. This is probably better.
Of course if you put your clock in military time (24 hour) , there is no AM/PM .
Simple and all I wanted, but anyway to get rid of that pesky e911/location icon? Not sure anybody wants that there!
Any chance this works on D801

I have Verizon G2. rooted... The hide am/pm with Tiny nav bar zip is not working.Trying with CWM and it gets an error that it can't install. please Don't tell me the that hide am/pm with Tiny Zip is only for TWRP? But the hide am/pm with no nav bar edit is only for both? that would suck.....Because If i do the hide am/pm with no nav bar edit zip in CWM, that works.. Please help. I need this combo to work.
When I first goty Nexus, straight out the box, I had a transparent navigation bar. .. Not only on.my home screen, but on most apps I can remember (gmail, gapps, Facebook, etc). But somewhere between flashing and wiping and restoring and unroofing and rerouting, etc (you get my drift), I now have only transparent on my home screen, and not throughout my native apps. Anyone know how to restore that, or mod it back to transparent?
Stock ROM only has transparent Nav bar on homescreen.

The only similar thing I saw on KitKat was expanded mode or expanded desktop, which sort of did that when the Nav bar came back from an "off screen" state. Might be available on L too...I'm not sure, I don't use Nav bars.
Hi I'm looking for suggestion options or just tricks that would allow me to change how gesture controls work. I am coming from OP and much more prefer swiping from the bottom to go back as I have to many things that go into menus from left or right so is there a app out there that allows better control of that.
Also all my previous phones had the ability to hide status bar icons by default or by pressing the gear settings icon, is that available in 11 or with pixel 5?
Thanks for the help.

For navigation, I use Fluid NG (I don't have this phone however).
Pixels don't have the ability to hide statusbar icons.
Thanks! Requires root?

On Android 11, yes. Fluid NG cannot hide the navbar on 11 so you have to do it with some method that requires root.
Oneplus 8 pro coming tomorrow.
Actually, system UI tuner shortcut from Brian c in the playstore will let you hide statusbar icons without root.
Navbar is a different story!
Icons is what I wanted will try. Ty
Worked great! Ty
