Is it possible to remove the tint over the status bar color in lollipop? Currently, the bar color will change to a slightly darker version of the app's color.

Example of how it is now:

I would like it the be the same color as the rest of the app, no darkening.

EDIT: I've managed to modify Lolistat to color some apps the same color, my dilemma now has two parts: White status text on white text bars and the apps which Lolistat doesn't touch (ones with predefined colors)

Two working apps:

  • I could be wrong, but as far as I know that's a decision on the app developer to use the default (i.e. a darker version of the app heading). Some apps like the Play Store 5.4+ don't do this, they have the picture of the app fill the bar with no tint at all. I don't think it can be changed without tweaking the ROM itself.

  • On my Play Store (5.4.12) the bar is tinted. I assume the "default" the apps use would be hardcoded into the ROM? I have xposed installed, maybe I could modify it through that?

  • It could be possible that way. Mine has no tint, only when an app opens and the status bar changes colour (using stock 5.1 on a Nexus 5). Samsung have a tint on theirs that permeates everything, it is ROM level (in the framework somewhere I think).

  • I think its like styles.XML and color.xml or something in my theme directory (cm12s)... After looking around a bit in those files, it looks like I'd have to change the primary-dark color to be the same as the primary color. Is primary-dark used anywhere other than the nav and status bars?

If you can use Xposed Framework (needs root), try any of the following Xposed apps which can theme your status bar:

They do it by taking a sample from the app's action-bar and colors the status-bar accordingly as per some mode settings, which include Gradient, Flat (which you want and the unpaid default), L and custom.

(Note: some features require an in-app purchase.)
