1. pixel launcher crashes after I set it as default
2. If i have these status icons: sim1, sim2, wifi, bt, night light (led), nfc - i don't see app icons in staus bar for notifications - ie. gmail or sygic when downloading maps, etc. Not even notification light, only app "badge". In app permissions everything in notifications is enabled etc. And in settings apps & notifications also everything enabled.
And also in gmail settings itself everything in notification settings is enabled.
UPDATE: so after manually enabling everything for gmail in "app launch" I get notification LED, but status bar with the notch i just tragic and it is not showin, instead it is full of system icons, I guessed that after year of notched phones this will be sorted, but well I was wrong. That is huge oversight - thre should be options to display smaller battery icon and smaller dual sim and wifi icons, also eye care and dnd icons. basically all system icons should be dual row and fit into right part of the notch so there is space for actual notifications on the left.
You can use CPL instead of the Pixel Launcher.
It's way more customizable as the name (Custom Pixel Launcher) suggests and I haven't experienced any issues.
CPL also does not work, I think it is based on same source. I can get over the pixel launcher issue, but missing notification icons in status bar because of the notch are really what bothers me.
I thought all the notch hate was only for how it looks, that did not bother me, but now I also hate it.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
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....
First off, I know that this has been asked before but it was in a different context. Basically, what I'm looking to do is remove some of the notifications that show up in the status bar because I'm using the Go Launcher Notification app and would prefer for the notifications to show up on the dock instead. I'm running CM7 stable (7.2.0) with Go Launcher EX installed. What I would like to disable in the status bar are the missed call notification, the GO SMS text notifications, Gmail notifications, and Facebook notifications. I uninstalled the ADW Launcher that was baked into the ROM since I didn't like it, but I'm pretty sure that it didn't have the ability to hide the notifications that I'm referring to. Any help would be greatly appreciated
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
For those of you guys with CyanogenMod 11, I'm having a little issue with the settings pulldown menu. The icons are cut off when the phone is on landscape mode... Here's a screenshot. I know it's a very minor issue but it seems to bother me quite a bit, any fix for this?

set your launcher to NOT DISPLAY ICON TEXT. You KNOW what the functions you set up by looking at the icons, so you won't need the text, right? That will give you more display area without cutting off the icons. Also, you might use smaller icons and closer together (all configurable in your launcher's software.)

I'm using Nova Launcher and there are no settings that change anything from the pulldown menu.
Am I missing something here? I have various apps installed, such as Fenix, where I am using a darker theme yet the LG Nav bar is still showing as a light colour. I know that in the settings you can change the colour of the Nav Bar but there is no option there to have a dark nav bar to better fit with the apps. Looks silly.
Can't say i am that impressed with this phone as yet although it is early days, some very slow re-loading of apps sometimes, especially InBox email app even though I have asked that awful LG Smart Doctor app to not kill it...grrr...
Any tips/assistance gratefully received
Use nacho notch. It now has the option to keep the navbar dark.
Or get Navbar Apps, which allows you to set automatic or custom colours for any application

I found nacho notch to work more constantly vs navbar apps.
