how to get transparent notification / home button bars on the Galaxy Nexus?

[Carla97220]

I have a spare Galaxy Nexus GSM phone that I haven't used in a LONG time.

I just took it out to play with it today. Is it possible to get transparent notification / home button bars? (the very top and very bottom bars, like on a Galaxy Note 2/3 or S5) The Galaxy Nexus was never rooted or bootloader unlocked. It's still running on stock 4.2.1.

Thanks!

In order to do it you'd need to customize the software and/or be on KK.
