Notification bar like Asus??

I know JB is trying to simplify the pull down notification bar, but I really miss some of the functions I have on my Asus TF300 with ICS. Anyway to get those things on Nexus 7 notification pull down?
Most notably I would like to be able to control brightness directly from the pull down notification bar.
Secondly, turning wifi on and off (as well as bluetooth) and seeing the wifi network connected.

none of those things are standard AOSP features. if you want manufacturer skins and whatnot you REALLY shouldnt go anywhere near a Nexus device

Root the Nexus 7.
Download ES file explorer, enable and mount system in settings.
Locate system\build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density=213 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160
And now go to display settings and change font size to large.
Reboot and enjoy the tablet UI.

How does changing the font size gets the brightness and wifi toggle onto the notification bar?

If it is built into Tablet UI that is how. However I am not sure it is with the AOSP roms. Your best bet will be to wait for CM10 or AOKP to be built for the device, which I am sure wont be long at all.

Because the first part of his advice has you reset the LCD density to give you a regular tablet UI (not a phone UI), the font size increase is just to make it readable since it's scaled for a 10" display.
With the regular "Honeycomb-style" tablet UI, the notifications are now accessed from the bottom right of the display, not the top, and it's wider, allowing room for more settings.

You can do what you are looking for with widgetsoid (and much else besides).
Just tick 'notification' on the advanced tab and 'widget invisible' if you don't want it on your homescreen.

+1 on widgetsoid. I haven't yet tried it on JB, but I used it pretty heavily until I switched to AOKP on the G Nexus.

dont mess with tablet ui for what you want...widgetsoid or notification toggle does what you need
widgetsoid can't toggle the gps though (it takes you to location settings) - notification toggle can if you drop the apk into /system/app

Thanks guys, I tried Toggle Widget also, and it's decent but I will try Widgetsoid as well.
I am glad to hear that I don't have to be no where "near a Nexus device" like the first reply suggested just because I want some customization (what a joke)

Switch pro can put toggles in the dropdown. You can even customize colors and backgrounds. Its available on the play store. One of my favorites is the reboot toggle with options for restart, recovery, and bootloader. I cant remember if its a paid app or not but its certainly worth it.
My device should be here when i get home from work and you can bet im going to check functionality of that app soon after

Buddy, just download the app, "notificatin toggle", and that will solve your problems.
Still waiting for my Nexus 7 and that's what I'll be using. It will give easy access to whatever you want right from the notification shade.
Enjoy.

I find power control to look a lot better. Same functionality, just a case of whatever floats your boat.

This is what i love about android. So many options your bound to find something that matches your taste

Nacho Notch

Was the first thing I dled. Works great. When you get immersive mode going it's pretty much perfect at that point.

Works well on Pixel 3XL, but when an app uses immersive mode (full screen), I would like to have an option to automatically "show the notch" again.
For example, if I am using an app that in immersive mode is showing things in the notch area (left and right), then with Natcho Notch enabled it is all black instead.
Any chance to have this option?

Is there a way to hide the notch notification?

Turn off the notifications for the app

Only reason I don't use it is that the nav buttons become nearly invisible on a white nav bar. The app has an option to always make the nav bar black, but the fact that it also does this on the launcher makes it a no-go.

Much better, thanks for sharing this.

I was using Nacho Notch and after a few hours it stopped working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing data, cache, you name it. I've since started using Status Bar & Notch Customizer and haven't had a problem.

I think I know what I'm going to get by asking but I'm being sincere.
What do people hate so much about getting extra room? Putting this side by side with my 2xl and it's obvious there's just more room for activities. I don't see any way turning off that part of the display has an advantage. If I imagine drawing the notch into my 2xl, that space is actually already empty anyway.
Devices with secondary displays for notifications or things like eink on the back never really took off, but they never got this kind of hate either.
I keep thinking I must be missing something obvious.

I think it's just that the pixel's notch is bigger than it should be. I'm not a fan of notches in general, so I was more annoyed by the notch then the size of the notch, however after using it, I'm pretty indifferent in general to it. I did try nocho notch but it was a bit buggy like when you'd switch to landscape or immersive mode. Hiding notifications also doesn't help, it seemed to make the bugginess worse, so I gave up. I do agree the notch idea isn't bad, overall... they just should have done it like the nocho notch app does it but made it built into the OS (different then the developer mode which really is a waste of space) so it would work better.
I'm actually more annoyed by the proprietary wireless charging with the fake 'rapidly charging' then this whole notch thing.

However on release day, I pre-ordered, because I'm a gadget whore, and can't stand to be without the latest and greatest. After using for 2 and a half weeks now, I can say it doesn't bother me at all now. I tried using notcho notch, and I hated it. To me it looks worse than the notch. I also just tried turning it off in developer options, and I think that works better IMO, but then I got to worrying about burn in, so I went back to normal, and now I'm just used to it. It's not really that bad, and with all the other great things this device does, I've easily forgotten about it.

If someone wants to try this they are welcome. It will give you a black statusbar but it is for people that also use a third party navbar like LMT as this also removes the navbar (it becomes black as well so needs to be remove). The statusbar will be black on home screen as well.

Pixel 3 XL could fit two rows of icons in that notch, right? Would be great to have a large digital clock on the right and all other notification icons on the left.
Is this something Nacho Notch can do?

Life with a notch
Coming from original pixel xl, This is my second day using the 3Xl abviously first time using a phone with the notch.
At first it's hard to get used to it, tried every possible solution to get rid of it but nothing gave a satisfactory result. I think unless Google release some solution, we are pretty much forced to use the notch.
This is my second day, I can say I'm already getting used to it. I think the initial 2days (depends on how OCD you are) may be hard to ignore the notch. Now it's grow on me and "looks just fine"
Anyway:
The problem using " nacho notch" is that (not the app, it the way android works)
1. It don't work on lockscreen or apps like YouTube
2. Makes the navbar white and hard to see (tried other navbar solutions but it's not as good as stock)
3. Might help screen burn on top
Thanks for reading

If you edit the build.prop to disable the navigation bar instead of an app the volume rocker is fine in landscape mode.
Add this line to the bottom of the build prop and no more navigation bar and the volume rocker is good to go.
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
I'm using this, OnePlus gestures, and Nacho Notch and the phone is so much better.

OPAodMod is an Xposed module that provides OnePlus devices on OxygenOS and HydrogenOS with an always on display like that on the Pixels (and other devices). It's existed for a while, but in the last few months stopped working due to the main developer (RetroX) moving on to another device. I picked it up, and after initially providing modded versions with only fixes and simple additions, was kindly given access to the full source code. OPAodMod has now been fully translated, with a new GUI which is easier to use.
Features:
Always on display, which runs all the time - unlike the OnePlus version
Customisable layout, with options including seven themes, including Pixel and OnePlus (OnePlus supports all the system clock styles too), and a DVD screensaver (it's exactly what you think it is)
Notification display, showing the text of a notification when you receive it and dropping back to just an icon after a few seconds
Live music lyrics on supported themes
Battery Optimisation options such as forcing doze and setting the refresh rate to 60Hz when the AoD is showing
Option to only display when you 'raise' your phone
Option to hide the screen when flipped/in your pocket, disable it overnight, or after a time period (10 minutes or 15 seconds)
Show your next alarm, current weather, and currently playing music
Display a short message (like that on your lockscreen)
Full settings GUI for the module with a live preview of your clock
Quick Settings toggle to enable/disable the AoD
Support for Ambient Music Mod for displaying ambient Now Playing tracks on the AoD

Yes, this has burn in protection. The battery life does take a noticeable hit, I'm looking at ways to mitigate it better.

This is awesome!
Just installed it now and it works AMAZING!
One thing I really wish it had is the Fingerprint unlock option on the AoD, but i'm guessing it might be a bit more work.
Is there a way I can participate in the development of the module?

Fingerprint works on the AoD. Chances are because you've just rebooted, it's falling back to the PIN. When it works from the lockscreen, it'll work on the AoD.
Unfortunately while I was given access to the source code privately, it's still not open source so there's no public development access.

I just noticed that the FP does indeed work, but the FP icon is not showing for some reason.
I'm on OP7TP McLaren if that helps.

That's kind of intentional, though I would like to add an option to make it show an indication of where the sensor is. It's more minimal without it though.

If I remember correctly, in RetroX's version it was impossible to hide notification text for apps that weren't China-specific. Is that still the case?

There's a short list of apps that are hidden with the toggle enabled:
I'll probably add a GUI to edit them at some point, but might just add some package names to the list before that.

Thanks for the info! Also, I don't know if it's technically possible, but consider following the system settings for hiding sensitive content on the lockscreen instead of a separate GUI/toggle. I currently have that enabled for messaging and mail apps and it works on the OnePlus ambient display as well.

It would be possible, but I'd prefer to leave it as a separate toggle for now. I'll maybe change it to default to match the system when I add the GUI to pick apps though.

Hi! I love the module, well done! I think it would be cool if you could also add a quicksettings toggle which makes it possible to easily turn the AOD on and off.

Just wanted to confirm, this is for rooted devices only? No way to get this without rooting? Great work, nonetheless.

New bugfix release, version 3.0.1b
Fixes:
- No longer shows 'null' for twelve on word clock
- Added translations for charging states
- Added the following apps as sensitive apps:
-> OnePlus SMS
-> OnePlus Phone
-> Google Phone
-> Google Messages
-> WhatsApp
-> Facebook Messenger
-> Facebook
-> Telegram
-> Instagram
-> Snapchat
-> Discord
-> Twitter
-> VK
-> Сбербанк Онлайн
-> Raiffeisen Online Russia
An app picker will be added later, this is just a stopgap.
Download is attached and also attached to first post

thanks for this app. Unfortunately couldnt get the "AOD only when phone is raised" option to work on 7T. stays on all the time. Would be nice if it could work on 7T as well! thanks

Hey guys,
I'm so glad to have come across this mod. I've been using this mod on my OnePlus 6 since a couple of hours. I can already say it consumes lesser power than the AOD on custom ROMs.
Thanks a lot!

This is great, will there be a slider to change display brightness? Or maybe a way to shut off a checkerboard of pixels to reduce the effective brightness?

Similar to this or a shine effect only around camera or tens of other styles can be used to indicate an event such as charging, music playing or a notification to help you to know even who texted you just by a glance far from your phone.
some of you may know this app before and some may had struggled with it in its bad moment with a broken version but it did not stop improving and all got fixed and many more feature added.
Because this app has tons of options to customize your phone, even wallpapers, I will start by writing instructions for how to enable the basic options of the feature which this thread is about:
How To:
1- Search google play "AOE" or "Always On Edge" and install this ~6MB App
2- Enter section #1 "Main Settings"
choose if you want the LED effect to be shown within System Ambient Display or a separated screen
3- enable accessibility services and give required permissions
4- Go back and enter section #2 "App settings"
for when to light choose "when a notification comes" and/or charging lighting as you like
5- scroll to bottom and save.
6- Enter enabled apps section and make sure the app you will test with is enabled
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Please give the app some time only once and then you will not need to even open it:
After testing please discover all sections the app can do what ever you need for such feature
like at the same place of step 4 you can enable Mixer which show all current notifications colors
and Reminder which repeat lighting every X seconds and let other options you may like.
in lighting settings section you can customize the general style of lighting.
the app is indeed complicated due to variety of options and I'm always working on improving it.
Battery Drain:
I use it personally for notifications only, all apps, while screen is on and off, reminder for 5 seconds every 5 seconds limited to 30 repeat and I got 100s of emails and messages and the app is not even on system battery use list. but in general this app can be used with no noticeable difference in battery usage and it can drain your battery in few hours. it depends on the options you choose, there are a lot of options to minimize battery consuming it basically depends on lighting time and enabled widgets.
in worst cases there is options to prevent the app from working if device is not charging and other 10s of options so you can set when the app should not light as when the app should light.
App brief description:
AOE contain a lot of features and options and all can be customized as you like, here is some of the main features:
Edge lighting can also be customized for charging, music, wallpaper and many other events
It can be customized to work in a highly flexible way with AOD clock or independently, or even both like Tap to Light feature.
Lighting can be around all screen or around front camera or both with many other lighting place options like LED style with variety of animations.
You can use it to show lighting effects for many events like notifications including missed calls of course, charging, fully charged, screen lock, screen unlock, headset plugged, listening to music ,
ongoing or outgoing calls, recent apps menu and flash after unlock.
You can customize lighting color, style, effect and place for each event, each app, each contact name or even each chat group.
Notifications light has more useful additional features like Reminder which the lighting will be repeated every period you choose and you can even choose to make a sound alert for notification reminder,
and Mixer which will iterate through all current notifications colors..
Brightness can be adjusted regardless of the lighting is independent or with Always On Display, on top of that you can set high brightness for lights and low brighting for AOD/clock widgets.
It has many options to restrict its job like prevent the app from lighting if device is charging, not charging, not in landscape mode, low battery, sleep time or to follow Do Not Disturb mode.
with a block list to prevent it from working for someone
AOE also support lighting in all screen states, turned off or turned on, horizontal or vertical.

Pretty cool! I didn't know about this app so thanks for sharing! Anyone else have any cool mods or recommendations for settings?

Awesome. Could you add the settings you use to center it on the hole? I'm getting there but just be nice as a starting point then could adjust thickness to taste . Thanks again! So cool. Takes me to back to OMG! NEXUS HAS A NOTIFICATION LED.

This is as close as I could get it to center.

That's seems different from mine. By 10+ on some. I wonder how much the display size setting effect it. Thank you for the starting point.

I managed to use this app but everytime I got a new message after a restart, the app just don't work, does anybody knows a workaround? or it's just me not having a correct config?

General XDA article: Android 13 leak reveals four new styles for dynamic theming system, gives us a glimpse of notification permissions

https://www.xda-developers.com/andr...namic-theming-notification-permission-dialog/
January 13, 2022 2:39am Kishan Vyas
Android 13 leak reveals four new styles for dynamic theming system, gives us a glimpse of notification permissions​The wallpaper-based dynamic theming is one of the biggest highlights of Android 12. The feature, codenamed “monet,” generates a rich color palette based on the colors extracted from your wallpaper and then applies them to theme various parts of the system UI and apps. It appears the wallpaper-based theming system is set to get even more dynamic in Android 13.
According to Android Police (via Mishaal Rahman), Google is working on four new styles for the monet theming system. These new styles are codenamed TONAL_SPOT, VIBRANT, EXPRESSIVE, and SPRITZ. All these styles would still use your wallpaper to generate a color palette.
TONAL_SPOT: The default Material You pallete.
VIBRANT: This one offers more colorful secondary and background colors
EXPRESSIVE: Covers a wider range of colors, including those not present in the background.
SPIRITZ: It has a muted, almost grayscale pallete
Android 12 on Pixel phones already offers four dynamic theme styles which are generated by changing the seed color or main hue. However, these new styles would be different in that they would offer greater customization and colorfulness.
Here are some screenshots that showcase all four styles in action:
TONAL_SPOT
VIBRANT
EXPRESSIVE
SPIRITZ
A separate report from Android Police gives us the first look at Android 13’s runtime permission for notifications. As we previously reported, Android 13 adds a new runtime permission for notifications. This means that notifications could become an opt-in feature on Android 13. Users may be able to choose whether they want to allow an app to send a notification, just like how they are able to control Location and Camera permissions. The following screenshot shared by Android Police showcases how the notification permission dialogue would look like in Android 13. As you can see, the dialogue shows two options: Allow and Don’t.

I still can't wrap my head around Android 12!

yup but they still got android 12 to fix. (i pretty much have 0 issues besides wifi dropping 6g).

They can also add getting rid of the disgusting pure black quick settings pull-down in light theme and actually make it match material you colors.

Of course, when you choose dark theme. You know, the way it actually makes sense.

I would love some options, not what they think we like but like hex color codes and font selection, turn off material you theming switch would be nice, i dont like the bad way they miss the colors on the system.
To me Android 12 is a step down in terms of theming, and the only issue i have is android auto and music playing, my wireless headset does not drop audio at all but android auto does it like 5-6 times on a 30 min drive.

I wish they'd let me change my font again. ‍

They need to allow greater customization similar to Samsung and their options; such as lock screen clock, fonts, icon styles etc. It makes more sense for it to come from Google than a direct competitor.
Even "material you" is so limited i don't even see it as a proper theme engine.

While I agree with you about material you being limited, keep in mind it was a massive change to the system and it's only in its first release. It's clearly gonna expand from here. Lock screen clock is already rumored to be coming in android 13 or maybe it was even 12L. And if you want to change fonts and icons etc maybe your better off Samsung? I don't believe Google cares to do that...you can already install a third party launcher and change your icons and with ADB you can change your fonts most likely. You can already do more customization on a pixel than an iPhone...yet Apple seems to get away with it and Google gets crapped on because they don't do as much as Samsung etc.
