For anyone who isn't overly crazy with the Material Style of Lollipop here is a confirmed working way to jazz up your notifications.
As long as your rooted you can install the Xposed Framework, then find a module called "Flat Style Bar Indicators".
See the attached screenshot, even with the free version you can change the colour, style, and order of the: network, wifi, clock & battery.
The paid version adds more options to the above.

I have managed to change the color of my clock and battery icon using the G2 tweakbox for Xposed. But I can't seem the change the rest, Is it possible to change them with another one?
some icons inside the statusbar are actually pictures. such as your notification icons from applications, or some of the 3g/4g symbols. there are certain mods that will allow you to change these static pictures into something that can be colored before rendering. for example with the 4g icon, its possible to change the a static 4G picture to that of standard text, so that a hex code( the color ) can be applied before rendering. If you want to change the color of these other icons in the status bar i would recommend you do some research on theming.
I'm using G3_tweaksbox from Google market and its working for my better as that G2_toolsbox in G3 app working for me 90% of tweaks you can tray also for yours risk..

I use XBLAST for Xposed... way more options. Also there is G2 Skins and Gravity Box... which work even better. Tweakbox is really good though! :good:
In G3 toolsbox working perfect changing coulors of icons in status bar tested.
Hello,
on my Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet I now have Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
Which is running great; this also applies to Xposed.
But I absolutely don't like the changing status bar color, which makes feel the OS a bit kindergarten-like (Windows XP, anyone?).
Is there any Xposed module or other app (or system file modification) with which I can make the status bar permanently black?
Any hint is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Best Wishes,
Hasenbein
Status bar
Have you tried flat style status bar ?
The default blue status bar is extreme ugly...
Yes, that blue is hideous...
Flat style status bar helped (after pulling out my purse for Pro version...), thank you very much!
If you are using Xposed you could try my app NotifyClean. I just added there an option to revert this "blue". It's then AOSP behavious, means all apps could change the color as they like or black if not implemented / before Lollipop compiled
Great, man! Thank you!
Just one thing: On my device the "notifications always expanded" option in your app doesn't work at all. (Yes, I did restart ) Although this is not a problem, because there's the Xposed module "All notifications expanded".
@hasenbein1966: I tested with Z2 Tablet SGP521 + the "baltic" Android 5.0 rom hier from xda. This works without problems. Maybe another module prevented it which hooks also there? If the module is enabled, for this option only a restart of the app is needed (in settings for the apps, there is a menu item to restart)
Hi guys, so apparently my status bar can't turn transparent in apps. Instead it defaults to a light grey, almost white which is extremely annoying to look at. Google maps for example always keeps the status bar white when I know that it should be transparent (or at least the default dark grey). Only on the home screen I can get a transparent status bar but not in apps, which I tested with various apps comparing to me tablet.
I thought first that it is an issue with an exposed module but I disabled all of them did a reboot and it still won't turn transparent.
I can make Screenshots or upload a video if you don't get what I'm saying
Must be your ROM or an Exposed module. My stock Z3C does not have that issue on 5.1.1.
But what could it be, I have disabled all xposed modules and I still get it...
Btw i'm on stock .232 (expect root and xposed).
Screenshot attached Btw.
(e) nevermind just updated the xposed framework to .75 and now I have transparency.
Case closed.
Most of us know about cyanogen mod ROMs and to be honest. They beat the band
But the procedure of flashing a custom ROM is sometimes dreadful
So I would like to share about a few Xposed framework modules which can help you transform into 5.0 here and now
Prerequisites----
Xposed installer
Flat style colored bars (pro)
Flat style notification bars (pro)
Monster UI
Download the following and enable them and reboot device
Open flat style colored bars and edit our status bar icons as per to your liking... I would prefer to edit them into the latest marshmallow or lollipop style
Open flat style status bars and tap status bar option
And choose lollipop in the overlay style dropbox
I would recommend you to discover the many uses of Monster UI yourself... Its a fun module and enables a hell lot of customization :laugh:
Hello,
The Mi Mix is a wonderful device, but that Ugly navigationbar sucks. See attached Pic.
Is there a way to theme it with for example substratum?
Even make it complete Dark?
I dont searching for any alternativ like lmt, Pie or gmd.
Unlock the bootloader and root the device - once you do that you can change colors or presence permanently as you see fit.
You can even hide them too with slide up to appear for more screen space.
I fixed this issue just now!
Simply download the Xposed tweak called Flat Style Colored Bars then enable it in Xposed.
It works for the Smartisan Desktop app, ViPER4Arise, etc.
And I think it's also useful for your apps.

This module is also does the job. Colourise both status bar and navigation bar by picking the background colour. Good for eyes: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.flarejune.perfectcolorbar
