Asus Zenfone 5z status bar - Asus Zenfone 5Z Questions & Answers

Hello.
Someone knows how to set the status bar in Asus zenfone 5z for do not expand at first touch, please?
The Android status bar works like this: first touch shows the small notification bar, second touch expands the entire status bar.
In Asus zenfone 5z all is to the reverse: first touch expands the whole status bar.
Touching at the top for close the status bar, will show the small notification bar!
If there is a notification sometimes works normally, sometimes not.
There is a way to set this please?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings.

With Fingerprint gesture to open notification it works that way .

I second this, I have been searching a way to stop that but to no avail.
It's really annoying.

I understand. Thank you very much for info

Actually if you pull down from the left side of the notch, the status bar behaves in the normal Android way (first line of quick toggles and notifications). Pulling down from the right side of the notch exhibits the behavior you are mentioning (full expansion of quick toggles and notifications).

Hello nsadasivam,
Yes, true... but you need a notification for do that... otherwise the status bar will be full expanded also from left side of the notch.
Anyhow thank you.

Yeah it's annoying for me too.

Sorry for my question out of the argument, but nobody answers to my other post.
Someone knows how to unlock the bootloader of Asus Zenfone 5s via fastboot, please?
Because the official Asus unlocker app put the device in black list for OTA update.
Somebody helps, please?

Nova's swipe down gesture opens it like expected for me. I have a persistent notification item (e.g. LastPass) though.

[Q] Status bar behavior, AOKP 4.2.1

Hi,
when i pull down the status bar in AOKP MR1 (4.2.1) i see the quick settings panel if there are no notifications active, and not, as in stock 4.2, the notification drawer(or panel, don't know how to call it).
I'd like to have the stock behavior, so that i can pull down the status bar and ALWAYS see the notification drawer. Is it possible with a simple method? I tried looking in the settings but didn't find any option for this.
Thank you.

You will have to post this on the developers thread. You will not find an answer here most likely. I hope they can help you there!
go in rom control or status bar toggles and make sure you have some toggles enabled then they should show up, hope this helps

Thank you, but the point is I just want the status bar to show me either the notification panel OR the toggles panel when i pull it down (i'd rather to have always the notification panel). It's a bit confusing that you don't know what's going to be shown when you pull it down..

Eh, even though I'm quite flashaholic and spend a lot of time reading on xda, i seldomly post, and unfortunately i still have to reach the 10 posts limit to be able to post in dev threads.
On the other hand, I'm the living proof that xda search button actually works

You should try nova launcher. You can set it to open the taskbar when you swipe down on the home screen.

[Q] How to make drop down home menu stand alive?

Hey,
When I let my phone to be inactive for few seconds - drop down menu from Home disappears. How to make it always "On" so I can see the clock, wireless icon etc.
Thanks!
What exactly do you mean by 'Drop down menu from home?'
Hey, thanks for replay.
Well the drop down menu, one you can access if you slide from up of the screen to down. I basically want to make status bar visible whole time, and status bar seems like part of that drop down menu. So my main question is WRONG - I want visible status bar.

Annoying bug: G4 Notification bar can only be swiped up

Sorry if it has been mentioned before (I searched but didn't see).
I found when the notification bar is pulled down on G4 (see attached screen shot), you can only pull it up by swipe up, or tap on the red "clear".
On all other phones, if you simply tap any where else on the screen (out side notifications areas), the screen will pull up as well, not so on G4.
I found this very annoying, because after you dismissed a notification, you just want simple tap to let the notification bar go away, instead try to swipe it up again or accurately tap the clear button.
Does everyone experience the same? my configuration is H812 10C (Rogers). If it is so, why LG not fix such rudimentary bug? Any work around to make it the way how lollipop works on all other phones?
If it's my problem, how can I fix it?
Thanks
To add on my post above, I tested the galaxy S6 today with same 5.1.1 and it is no problem to tap on screen to auto pull up the notification bar. I don't understand why LG remove it on G4
Yeah i dislike their whole notification setup. I dont get why you would change something like that to be counter intuitive

yes, this is truly annoying and stupid

Why don't you just hit the "Notification" button you already have on the soft key 'home' buttons? Just press the up arrow with the line under it to hide your notification bar when you're done. One tap and it's gone, just like you wanted, yes?
No matter which way you slice it, stock android is a much better simpler presentation of the notification panel

My g2 d802 with cloudy 3.3 rom 5.02 lollipop is the same. This should be lg specific. Otherwise the pull up down softkey in the navigation bar is freakin' awesome feature.
Or just press the back button
Never had a problem with that. Configure a "down notification bar" button. As soon as the notification bar is down the down arrow turns into a up arrow. Just tap it to bring notification bar up.

Yes. I had the down notification soft key there as a work around, but still find it is counter intuitive and un nature to tap at the bottom of the screen for things to change at top of screen, so it's not a good fix.
Thanks @lgnd for confirming even G2 is the same, then it's LG's problem, I don't know what's in their mind to do this!
I think the issue needing a fix should be how LG programmed the notification bar to work. One pull brings down notifications and quick settings? Because of this, notifications cannot be expended unless you then swipe up just the quick settings and try again. IMO, LG is also bad at coding stock android.
Not to sound like a prick, but is it that bad? You have to spend a millisecond longer to swipe your thumb as opposed to tapping.
Its not that bad. But it makes u wonder why they would think to change it with no benefit whatsoever.

completely agree, bad UI is bad UI, there is no excuse for not to do something well (especially everyone one else does it well) just because there is a workaround
Wondering what is the official bug report for LG developers ?
I am happy to follow up with them on this as well as the WiFi no autoconnect issue.

Learning from the other post buy modify UI.apk, wondering if we can fix it ourselves if LG is incompetent to fix such simple problem

Anyway to make navigation bar transparent for all apps?

I'm looking for a way to make the navigation bar transparent so when in an app like Chrome or YouTube you can see what's on the tab itself rather than the black bar with the navigation keys. I tried using apps that hide the navigation bar but I felt that it added an unnecessary stuff. So what I'm looking for is a way to make the bar transparent but still have the navigation buttons (home, multi function and back buttons) still be accessible. Anyone in know how this can be done? Also, not looking for ways that require root.

I'd like to know this as well. I know you can use Nav Bar Apps (Play Store link) to change the color of the Nav bar based on the app you are using. However, I haven't been able to use it to make the nav bar transparent.
For now, I've enabled full immersive mode and use Pie Control (Play Store link). So I almost never see the nav bar on the bottom of the screen. The only time the bottom nav bar shows up is with the Google Keyboard and I haven't figured out a way to disable that yet.

I basically spent the whole day looking for an answer but the closest I came was a video on how to do it on a LG g3. It requires root though. Can't believe that with all the thin bezels this year, a way hasn't been found. It defeats the purpose to having thin bezels when the navigation bar makes it look like the bezels are huge. Smh
I'd like the same!! I've enabled immersive mode, but when it's enabled, it causes weird locking/unlocking screen issues.

Check the thread where you got the adb command. There is an shell command you can execute and it's fixed the freezes for me.

[Root] - How to remove Navigation and Status bars?

Hi y'all,
I want to remove navigation bar and status bar completely.... even when keyboard is in use. Is there a way to do it? (I do want them to show up when I swipe up/down navigation bar and status bar respectively).
I was looking at https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-navbar-gone-root-t3704916 Does this achieve what I want to do with 8.1 January Update on P2? I want to avoid installing apps as much as possible.
Thank you

My method removes Navbar completely. No swiping is going to get it back. You want immersive mode I would think.
Hey, thanks for the info. How do I take the back/home/recently opened apps actions in this case? Also, does it remove status bar too or is it just for navigation bar?

If you remove Navbar completely you need LMT or something similar to replace it. It is for Navbar only. Immersive mode can be used with either or both statusbar and Navbar.
Thanks. Yea, I think I'll try immersive mode and see if it works for both and can use swipe up/down to temporarily bring it back. Looking at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747 Let's see.

That's what I did and am using now. I think it's awesome. But I think, not sure, it might have given me issues with unlocking my screen every once in a while when it goes into sleep. I say I think, cuz I'm not willing to give up immersive mode for a reboot or now as I've found bringing up camera to wake up every now and then. So just be on the look out. Thought it might be Ex kernel also I did both around same time.
