Try using Quick Settings from Market

tried quick settings, i would love to have added the buttons in the native status bar drop down, but i guess this will have to do for now

Swipe notification toggles for settings?

Anyone know of an app that will give me swipe functionality for the toggles on the notification bar? For example, swipe the wifi button to open the wifi settings?
Thanks!

ive never thought about that before... that sounds awesome, i want one too!

Browser Status bar.

On the browser I noticed the status bar (with the time, signal, battery) hides its self. Id like it to display all the time. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

Agreed, I hate not being able to see the time or an incoming text...
i couldnt find how to turn it on all the time either, but my work around is to just push menu and then it will show the status bar for you see it and pull it down.
This annoyed me to the point that I sought out a possible fix. Sad that it doesn't even appear to be a configurable option.

[Q] Hide notification bar when there are no notifications

Hi,
I'm searching for a possibility to unhide a hidden notification bar only then when a notification is there.
I dont want to unhide it via home-button or gesture, it shall appear when there is a notifiction.
someone have an idea, how to solve this?

I think this would be a wonderful tweak! Here's hoping a willing developer sees this.
I was about to say I'm all for this, but then I realized showing signal strength is kinda important no? And battery life, but a widget on the home screen can solve that.
That would be pretty sweet
Look for a launcher in the market one of them does this...I forget which though, sorry

^ADW launcher does this I believe. I may be wrong though.
use adw. you can hide it then use a gesture to unhide it.

He doesn't want a gesture to it tho.

This is an awesome idea!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Well using gestures, use the up swipe to hide/unhide the status bar and downswipe to open up the notifications, so you can open notifications by down swipe and when you close it the status bar automatically hides... and this is possible in ADW. That's the best option I can think of, I myself use that
Nexus S
IPhone 4s style?

while i am no tasker genius or for that matter user even. i feel that this might be able to be accomplished with tasker and a launcher that has the option to hide the status bar. since tasker waits for something to happen such as receiving a notification you could then have tasker execute showing the status bar and then hiding it once there are no more notifications. in adw you can set up an icon to show and hide the status bar and also as mentioned before use a gesture. idk if tasker can use a gesture or icon. but if it can then an icon that is placed somewhere within the launcher for its executing could be used. if you didnt want it visible it could be hid in the hidden dock bar to hide and also to use, if for some reason you needed to access the status bar. idk im just speculating. if someone was more familiar with tasker could chime in and maybe give more insight on if this is plausible or not would be interesting.
You could keep it hidden and use tasker to show toast (pop up) notifications , I think its possible

What status (notification) bar do you use?

I'm currently using Omega StatusBar but it's buggy at best. After enabling in accessibility settings I find that the counters are frequently incorrect, apps stick around after clearing notifications, and ongoing notifications don't play very nice.
Anyone using a statusbar with more success? Which one?
I'm looking for any which display icons for notifications rather than the vague circle with a number within it as present in the stock os. It's good to see what's going on at a glance without swiping down.

+1 want to know the best bar too xD
I wasn't even able to get Omega StatusBar to display notifications on my 8.9" HD. As soon as I turned on the "accessibility" option necessary for it to intercept notifications, I got a force close.
I've tried a couple of other status bar replacements from the Play store with the same results -- all fail turning accessibility on. I've seen reports of other 8.9" users having the same problem.
I would certainly like to hear of a working status bar that doesn't have this problem.
The stock status bar works.

You have to go to the Kindle's settings -> accessibility -> then turn on the option for Omega Statusbar accessibility.
From there you can turn on the accessibility within Omega's app. It might force close but it will work.
At that point when you open the Omega app you will want to hit the button on the top-right-most of the screen. It turns on the status bar. You should instantly see the statusbar pop up.
It doesn't always clear notifications though. I guess this is an android limitation with what gets sent to the accessibility api.
Hope that works for you.

Oh and if you're stock or stock rooted and you don't have accessibility settings within the Kindle's settings menu use KFHD Extended Settings to access it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124384

Thanks, I got it working. It wasn't worth it, though. Wasn't much of a functional improvement, didn't look that much better, and the old status bar would show up in flashes now and then.
Maybe the stock toolbar isn't that bad...

Yeah.. And even moving to /system/app doesn't make a difference unfortunately. At least when the stock toolbar says 10 notifications, its really 10 notifications. I'm confident some ROM will get something stable going though, just a matter of time.

Is there a way to change the icons that show in the status bar without having to switch to an entire other status bar? I'm referring to the parental controls, wifi and battery icons that appear in the top right corner. I'd like to customize those. Possible?

Quickpanle toggles

Anybody have functional alternative toggles for Mini?
Or at least quickpanelsetting working with touchwiz toggles?
Thanks

Power Toggles is nice too

but i can't replace the stock one :/
I even tried decompiled/compile systemui and only delete brightness bar. I used many walkthrought.
Even from S III forum.
And I find those lines to delete. I deleted them, but no luck. Brightness bar is still there.
So probably status bar toggles are somewhere else located than in systemui.
Does this help:

Tried that to delete some of those toggles.
Doesnt work deleting.
Havent tried adding more.
