I've never been a fan of the black navbar. I've always thought it should match the color of the top status bar.

So far, using the Light theme, the off-white navbar looks pretty good.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] freakzapster:
I'm using it ,it does no issues so far
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bp328i:
Thank you for this...

I really miss some of the ROMs from the good old days. Where Devs would take stock ROMs deodex them, decompile individual apps make edits like you mentioned above and smali edits. In some cases the end result would be a stock based ROM with all the extra options.

This was all before Xposed.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] xocomaox:
I don't think you need to worry about burn in down there. Better option would be to change the spacing and nav theme more often (like once every few months).
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] reqmon:
White color only makes it burn in harder.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] yung40oz84:
I have not had any issues with the navbar apps from play store. I set to static black and stays that way. I would not mind a fully deodexed stock ROM though, That would be nice. No other modifications, just deodexed, fixed nav of course why this thread is here, and boom. lol
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] m7ixalis:
Am really disappointed ,I never imagine that you can change navbar color /icons /notification background /etc. on samsung s8 /s8+/note without root and in our device it will be so difficult .

Never mind i will live with this .
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baldilocks:
You can change everything except for the navbar.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] crash4fun:
Yeah not sure what they were going on about.

+1 to this, I would love to see a deodexed stock OOS for our device that has a few modification options. Similar to what Fulmics did with the LG G3 (and other LG devices). He is the author of that deodex tool after all. Probably most of it could be done through modifying this same system APK & flashing on a rooted device, something I'm considering toying around with (but it would be time consuming...). Only problem with solutions like this is when new system updates come out you need to wait for an updated version of this as well in many cases.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] brainscollector:
Easier just to install Navbar apps from play
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurboBot247:
No, the *off white* color used with the grey buttons reduces burn-in greatly. A black navbar on an OLED screen simply causes the pixels in the navbar strip to remain deactivated for prolonged periods of time, causing the buttons themselves and every other part of the screen whose pixels remain active more often to degenerate at a much faster rate, causing the burn-in effect. Since the nav-bar isn't completely white, the pixels in that area aren't being driven as hard as they would be, were they stark white, or as white as the display can go. The grey buttons/icons help reduce burn-in as well, as the pixels are still active and "lit" in these areas and are not being driven the hardest possible (stark white on OLED drives the pixels harder than off-white, grey, and most other colors displayed by the phone).
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrPepperino:
This might be right. But it's ugly as f***
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Baldilocks:
If you use a dark theme it is.

I use the light theme so it matches pretty well.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] reqmon:
White navbar is:

1) A waste of roughly 5% of screen on time.

2) Solves burning in by burning in the navbar at the same rate as everything else on the screen (assuming that theme is white)

It could be a neat idea, but the way Oneplus implemented it makes navbar white in most of my darker apps, and also ignores existence of dark keyboards. I'm pretty sure my navbar will burn-in faster that way.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurboBot247:
How do you come to the 5% figure? Anyway, the off white/grey color scheme for the nav bar doesn't solve burn in, but it really slows it. Even though the navbar stays like this when dark apps are used, burn in will still be much slower. Why? Most apps we use on the daily use bright color schemes, as a select few are dark in color scheme. Also, since the navbar isn't stark white (compare it to a stark white webpage) and the buttons are grey and not black (where OLED pixels are deactivated), none of the pixels in the navbar area are deactivated and none of them are being driven at their maximum level for that brightness setting. The closer to white/the brighter an image gets on OLED, the more exponentially quicker the pixels (especially the blue subpixels) decompose. Remember, OLED displays are made of organic, biodegradable (mostly) material.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] reqmon:
OLED display consumes energy based on pixel brightness, and navbar takes about 5% of the screen. :)
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bkeaver:
I'm skeptical
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrPepperino:
I don't get why they decide for that navbar. OOS is such a fluid Rom but the white navbar ****s it up when I using my dark theme
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] GerManiac:
This works for me.

[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DocRambone:
Lol, check the permissions of that app :D

I would never trust an app with that kind of permissions for making an nav bar dark..

[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] GerManiac:
Yeah saw that, but did not Grant any of these rights. And firewalled mobile and wifi. So that it won't communicate with the net. And it works flawless.

Did Grant accessibility though.

Thought blocking the internet would be enough to keep me out of harms way. Maybe I'm wrong?
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] pedrad:
how did you not grant the rights? xposed? if it's xposed, im guessing you have no need for safetynet pass?
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pfeffernuss:
App doesn't need the permissions to run, also disabled over here.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] GerManiac:
Actually just changed app permissions. Here is a video on YouTube that shows what I did just for a different app. Saves me from making one. :D

By the way there you'll also find data usage where you can restrict wifi and mobile data usage.

By the way, nice seeing you again. Mate 8 is a while back. :cool: meanwhile I had the OP3 then Mi Mix 2 (terrible). Now 5t. ;)
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tommydorns:
This app doesn't work in all apps for me. Shame.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, this is needed for it to function properly.

Still have the Mate8. Bought the 5T to see if it would be an improvement. Well, I think it's minor (Mate8 I really really like(d) ) :good:
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] gs2336:
Sorry for going off topic guys. But if someone could help me and let me know what app I can use to add those extra buttons in Navbar along side the usual home back and recents button. I am using the S8 navbar with susbtratum on ob1 op5t.
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] micks_address:
works most of the time but sometimes reverts to white in chrome
[OnePlus 5T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xtremo:
It works most of the time for me as well reverting to that ugly off white in certain apps like Nova launcher settings. But I'll take most of the time than all the time any day though.

I know that the white navbar is to prevent burn in and is better than the black one but it'd be great if anyone knows whether using the black bar is actually really bad for the screen as compared to the white one. Does it really make that much difference in using the black one? So how long does a typical AMOLED panel lasts and how quick is the onset of burn in?
[General Questions and Answers] Tiqqy:
Suh Forum!

I apologize if this has been asked before but I just joined the community today. Soz.

Getting straight to the point, NONE of my Substratum themes work on my rooted Xperia XZ (F8332/Dual). When I click "Enable & Build", it builds and applies with no errors but the theme does not get applied even after a reboot. I have flashed and re-flashed the ROM, unrooted and re-rooted multiple times, have chosen the right ROM when applying the theme, but everything to no avail.

One of the reasons I rooted is because I wanted to use Substratum but it does not work :( I am a total noob, so a detailed solution for this will be greatly appreciated. And please go easy with the lingo :cyclops:

SPECS - I am running on Nougat 7.1.1 Stock ROM (1st Oct security patch) downloaded from Xperifirm, 3.1.1-0 TWRP and rooted using v2.82 SuperSu.

[Amazfit] Kéno40:
Thanks for that.

Seems OK for me for the language.

But still have re connexion problems when I go far from the phone and come back... I thought updating to the last system version would help, but not...

Any advice?

Edit : note that I'm on Oreo AOSP and I can't find the permission to let the app launch itself. Not in the security menu... Maybe it's that.

I tried to link the watch in the BT android menu, maybe I should deconnect.

Do I have to pair it & use the unlock phone option?
[Amazfit] Homer314:
Thanks for sharing but installed on my phone (Italian Language), app is not running in english but in my own language
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
That's the BIP that is directly in english !
[Amazfit] Homer314:
You're right! So sorry it's simply great.

Thanks
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
I don think it's related to my mod. I have only changed the way the app gets the phone language. Everithing else should be like the original app.
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
Yes you're right.

It may be related to Oreo in fact...

[Amazfit] lescori:
Many thanks. Whats new with 3.1.7?
[Amazfit] LostEchoes:
Hello all !

The latest iOS version seems to be 3.1.7 - does anyone know if that 3.1.7 version of Mi Fit for iOS also forces the Amazfit Bip language to English even if your iPhone language is different ?
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
Here, there is just some Modded apk (apps for Android) to by-pass and force the watch in english.

Norrmal version still let it in chinese and pass it to Chinese each time... it won't change as an english version seems to be out now.
[Amazfit] LostEchoes:
I'm not using Android, I have an iPhone. That's why I 'm asking if the latest iOS 3.1.7 version of Mi Fit for iOS also forces the Amazfit Bip language to English even if your iPhone language is different...
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
I'm not sure we understand each other. As far as I've seen on the last versions, for Android :

Phone ENG -> Mi Fit ENG ->BIP ENG

Phone Other -> MiFit Other or ENG -> Bip Chinese

I let others confirm that but it's was I've seen for now (note that I have the BIP for 2 weeks and I could be wrong....).

To be clear, I don't see anyreason for the MiFit for Iphone to pass it in ENG if your system is not in ENG
[Amazfit] LostEchoes:
Ok.

So If i get the International Version instead of the Chinese Version of the Bip, will I have the same issue ? Does it behave differently regarding the language switch ?
[Amazfit] Tassadar81:
For me with my redmi 4 pro works but the app crashes when I try to access to unlock phone menu
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
I don't think your problem is related to the mod. I can acces without problems to the 'Screen Unlock' option. In any case try to uninstall and then install the original app and check if the problem is still there.
[Amazfit] Tassadar81:
It throws a SecurityException, Signature authorise failed on android.os.Parcel.readException line 1620

Hi [MENTION=6956218]MSpider65[/MENTION]

Do you plan to update for 3.1.8 version. It's not for the MiFit App, it's for BIP V 1.0... firmware !

Thanks

PS : did you received my MP?
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
You can install official 3.1.8, update the firmware and then install my modded version again.

I will update my version as soon a new official version is available on Play Store.
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
After that, A-GPS is re updated, watch goes back to ENG and firmware stays on 0.1.0.11.

Perfect.

I'll report if I see changes or improvments on this version !

THANKS AGAIN !!!
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
You have to try, I'm actually on official 3.1.6 with beta firmware 9.59. But i cannot guarantee it works also for 1.0.11.

I did it without issues.

I'm on 3.1.7.1 Modded with 0.1.0.11 FW version.
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Mate, first of all, thanks for your effort!

Just one quick doubt. Although I installed your app, mi fit is not in English, but in Portuguese (my phone language). Is that OK?

Thanks!

This modded version forces ENG

on the WATCH

.

MiFit stays as you set it.
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Woooowwww... Thats outstanding mod. I thought the only way to make this work would be to completely trick the Mi fit location.

My bip is arriving today and Im curious about this stuff :P

At least on the first update, we have to let the phone in English, right? And than, it doesn't matter... I'm right?

Thanks. Just trying to understand the mod!

Great work spider
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
Just install the MiFit modded app. Switch On the Watch.

Launch MiFit. Connect to the watch and create / log to a Mi Account.

Wait till the updates processes are finished.

Just set the autorisation for MiFit and give access to notifications, set the options you want for notification, sleep tracking...

And then, it's all OK !
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Thanks for the answer, mate! Did not know this would be possible to do with an app... Very interesting! Great job from Mr. Spider.
[Amazfit] Dans ton bip:
On iOS you don’t need any mods.

Buy a chinese or international version of the bip both will come with chinese firmware then connect to official mifit 3.1.7 or greater it will upgrade the bip firmware to english if your phone is not in chinese language..
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
Thanks for your report. Can we have the sources for that? On the other subjects, some are reporting stuuf, but we don't have full info on iOS support.

[Amazfit] Dans ton bip 2:
I was scammed, i brought an international version of the bip (20$ more) , the menu was in chinese first time i switch it on (firmware 0.8.x.) .

Then i paired it with mifit ios 3.1.7, it has upgraded to firmware0. 9.4 and all the menus become in english !!

I think they produce only chinese version actually with old firmware in chinese (0.8.x) then transform them into international version (== english) by forcing the bip to paired with mifit for lastest firmware upgrade which transform it to international version.

They probably forgot to force my bip to paired with mifit when i switched it on the first time :)
[Amazfit] magnus48:
Ok guys.

It seems that the latest Mi Fit ver 3.2.0.1 keeps the phone in english even with the phone in your local language...

Hope they upgrade soon his app on play store
[Amazfit] Tassadar81:
Yes it works with mine too!
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Yep! Just upgraded the firmware of my Chinese beep with that mifit oficial apk and boom! Got an international bip :P

[Amazfit] noise85:
3.2.0.1 (4070) or 3.2.0.1 (4069) ?
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Don't know the difference, but 4070 works for me :)
[Amazfit] fleischbanane:
I think both are without Google Fit integration, aren't they?
[Amazfit] magnus48:
Yes, you can't connect to your google fit "account" from Mi Fit, but you can connect Mi Fit with google fit from Google Fit.
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
It seems that a new version of MiFit (3.2.8) has been released by Huami in Play Store.

This new version also upgraded the firmware of my Bip to 0.1.0.80 version but now my watch is again in Chinese Language!

Maybe is my fault, but in any case i have modded the new 3.2.8 MiFif in order to have again the Bip in English.

Guys did you know that with mi fit in English there are more function that with other languages are hidden? (E.g. caller ID)

What do you think to keep this project alive? Maybe a full forced English APK to get this functionalities no matter what the phone language is.

Don't forget to leave a review at the app store and contact the devs via the feedback function in the app. I am also working with my Android phone set to English instead of German.

Found a workaround! You have to set only mi fit app to English!

There are plenty of apps that can do that. I'm using app settings, that requires xposed! Happy again!

Hoooo, and also the Amazfit Tolls do that without requiring root or xposed, but if you enter your Mi fit unchanged language after using the Amazfit Tolls, it will turn back to Chinese!

My phone is rn4x mido the steps info doesn't work. But in another phone, huawei p9lite, info works fine. I should also say that you can't log in with google accoubt or facebook account on this apk on other phones but again, p9lite is fine with that. I'm guessing this is about frameworks of the phones. 3 phones, one of which is p9lite, are on android 5.1 and other 2 is on 7.0. I have 2 samsung ui, 1 zenfone ui, 1 miuu and one emui. The only app that works perfectly is p9lite on 5.1 with emui.

Sorry for the long post though, thanks for all your effort!
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
Yes, i have found the problem. It is related to a wrong floating point number conversion caused by different language setting. Was expexting a dot instead of a comma as decimal separator.

In the meantime it seems Huami have released a new 3.3.0 MiFit that solves the language problems.

I have reinstalled the new official app from Play Store and my Bip is still in English.
