I have found other threads about changing the clock color, but is it possible to completely remove[/i] the clock from the notification bar?
On here there are so many widgets that give the time, and the lock screen does the same thing.
unfortunately not at this stage. Personally i prefer it to be there anyway cos that means that whatever screen you are on you can see the time (less battery usage too) - also the reason i prefer weatherbug to a weather widget)...
My buddy has a Samsung Fascinate. Whatever ROM/theme he is running, he can do something pretty cool with the notification bar. Basically, he touches the notification bar, and without pulling it down, can slide his finger back and forth to manually adjust the brightness. Can't do that by default on the Inc.
Any thoughts?
if you've rooted and installed a new ROM onto your phone, most have the ability to customize the notification power widget stuff..
As far as I can remember (I haven't used stock stuff since August-ish) Sense doesn't have any widgets in the notification bar...which is dumb
Widgetsoid2.x notification bar widget position problem
I created an notification bar widget for Wifi, BT toggle, etc
But, I found that the widget always placed under all other notification items
Is there any setting missed in my Widgetsoid?
e.g.
Notification Bar pull down item
[USB Debug......]
[MTP USB Connection......]
[Whatsapp Notice.....]
[<Widgetsoid Widget>]
Same thing here. Also the background is grey even though I set it to transparent. Im just going to update my Gummy rom, which includes a better looking dropdown toggle anyways.

because it's a notification any new ones may pop ontop. nothing the developer can do about that.
Seems "Elixir 2" can place on top always....
But I love Widgetsoid2.x due to the loading and UI....
Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back
The way the phone ui manages the punch hole space leaves a lot to be desired.
It would be so much better if the status bar just remained black instead of trying to full screen apps by just extending the top color of the apps.
Even the pull down quick menu doesn't even use the extra screen real estate. Makes no sense and looks odd.
I have full screen mode enabled via systemui tuner per app as a work around for now but it simply cuts off the status bar instead of using the space.
The hide the punch hole option should include an option to simply blackout the status bar in portrait mode but keep notifications, clock and icons. It would look better and still utilize the area.
Is there a way to make the status bar consistently black?
