I have a small idea for making the annoying system status useful.
The system status is always popping up when I try to hit the task manager. So why not put the running tasks in there aswell? 9 times out of 10 that menu comes up and it is accessable from all apps.
Quite similar to how the task manager in point ui works, whereby you tap the status bar and up pops the currently running applications.
How diffucult would it be to make this show the current running apps aswell as status symbols?
Unfortunately I dont have any programming skills. But wanted to contribute a idea that would hopefully spark some inspiration.

Is there any program that will run in the status bar that would let me close running programs?
I have Taskiller but it has to be loaded first. I just need a quick was to close a program.
yes, it's called 'force close button' - pretty cool app, I use it all the time.
I have a rooted Nook Color and it is fantastic. However, I want to use the Crosswords application from the Android market. The only problem is that it appears to mess up the size calculation for the screen. It looks to me like it is not correctly calculating the size because it assumes the notification bar will be at the top of the screen. So it ends up overlaying the notification bar over the clues... or in horizontal mode, it overlays them over the bottom row of the software keyboard.
So, I want to selectively disable (or move to the top) the notification bar. Is there any way to do that? Or am I doomed?
Thanks. -ben
I too would love to know how to disable the bar or maybe even move it to the top. After mapping back and menu to the volume buttons the notification bar is really just a nuisance in its current location. However, through my limited research I've found nothing!
Edit: This may be just what you're looking for, I was looking for a more broad solution though....

Softkeys is great for back and menu
The softkeys app is great for the back and menu... I wish it included a button to make the current app be full-screen. But I don't know if it is even possible to do that.
I'm sure it is possible I just don't know if the demand is high enough to add said function, like I said earlier I would love a more permanent way to toggle the bar system wide.
Hi again...
I "modified" this application for my personal use with the intention of integrating the sense interface style.
System settings in the status bar. Works like the power control widget, but in the system status bar. If you have been looking for a way to control the settings with buttons in the status bar, this is it! Similar to the settings buttons on Samsung phones.
Currently, the app shuts itself down when closed. If you have a task killer, please ignore this app or it will be closed. If you press a button and the interface disappears, it was probably killed in the background and didn't clear the status bar interface yet. It is possible that if the app is removed from memory due to a low memory state, the app will close itself, but I have not been able to test this yet.
Features:
-Wifi toggle
-Bluetooth toggle
-Mobile data toggle
-GPS toggle
-Ringer mode toggle
-Screen brightness/auto screen brightness toggle
-In the status bar
-Access settings without exiting your apps
-2 themes (theme light no work)
-Option to run when phone starts
Enjoy...
NOTE: This application is free and can be downloaded from the market, the changes that I make are not with any purpose of profit ... I do not need

Well-done. Excellent application.
Thanks for your hard work.
I like it. It's working great on DL Desire Z.

What is the original app called?
Great application, just what I needed, thank you very much. Can you add options (in settings menu) not to close the status bar after user input and to hide the icon? I also think that this would look better with the bigger buttons without text...
no data button?
i have a blank space where the data button should be
i was using sys info wig but i uninstalled and reinstalled this app but still no workie....ha
well lemm know what i can do bc the rom that im using ( open desire RAM )

Where's the original? I've never seen this app before?
I believe it's the Status Bar Settings app developed by Karson. You can find it in the Market.. with the same description.
Hello guys,
Here is my problem. I usually let the navigation visible by default on my Note 8. I use them all the time, especially in apps like Whatsapp, where having a swipe up gesture to make them appear is not acceptable for my experience.
But for some apps, this white bar happens to be unsightly, especially for apps like Spotify or 9Gag, which don't require a lot of interaction with the softkeys and have a pretty decent in-app navigation experience without softkeys.
I am trying to find an app to hide my Navigation Bar (the softkeys) for a specific list of app, and make it appear again when I leave these apps.
I am not talking about enabling the "Expanded Desktop mode" for these apps, but only to hide the softkeys.
Thank you, guys !
Hopefully this will help other users to settle with the same issue

Try Tasker
Phone: ROG 2 tencent on 16.0632.1910.64-0 build (android 9), rooted
Sometime around 14/10/20 or a few days earlier there was a strange "mini update" pushed to my phone. I do not have system updates enabled. No reboot occured.
I cannot tell if it was a virus, a hack or some broken update.
Some of these settings were easy enough to change back to what I used, but I want to know why it happened in the first place.
I have google play updates hidden from notification bar so I definitely missed some things. The only app i saw update was gboard, but it's safe to assume others did stealthly.
I will list what I know:
gboard re-enabled itself and updated itself. It was never enabled or the default keyboard.
all systemUI tuner settings reset, all flat style bar indicator settings reset
the entire UI was changed, navigation bar virtual key r now more compact (closer to each other) (this does not appear to be a setting i can change with anything i have installed?)
about half the system settings are reset to default values, the status bar now displays download speed amongst other things
the navigation bar and status bar now both have fully transparent backgrounds in most programs, i can't recall the specifics but it never was that many previously.(cannot fix)
The status bar text no longer changes color and is permanently white, if I use a white background program like most google programs, the entire status bar is now invisible. (cannot fix)
default Messages app disabled itself and reinstalled itself, resetting all settings, meanwhile ASUS data transfer became the default SMS program. Messages app also got cloned to work profile (shelter app) without user input.
Any ideas please?
I'm thinking google IME or systemtunerUI updates broke something, or a remote hack, but I don't know. Just to be safe i disabled updates on those apps. But google play is known to sometimes not respect ur per app auto-update settings.
I don't want to have to fight my phone to get it to work.
Please, i am at a loss.
