I just purchased a NC for my mom, who has Parkinson's. The "Quick Nav Bar" (the navigation bar that appears when you tap the menu area), or indeed any menu that appears, closes faster than she can respond to it. The stock OS settings don't have any way to change the length of time that the menus appear.
If I root the NC, does anyone know if I would be able to access the config files that control these menus? And if so, where are they located?

I rooted my NC for the sole purpose of having kindle for android on my NC.
(and perhaps angry birds i guess )
Kindle works as good as everyone said it would, with just one problem.
The slider at the bottom is occluded by the notification bar, therefore unaccessible.
when i click the menu button, kindle detects the notification bar at the bottom and offsets its in-app menu to show up above the notification bar, but it doesn't seem to be true when I tap the middle of the page to bring up the slider.
Can we make the notification bar to NOT show up?
(and make it show up only when we double click the home "n" button? or something?)
or will it be possible for the kindle to offset the slider slightly higher so that it doesn't overlap the notification bar?
thanks bunch~~
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to hide the status bar in my homescreens but have it reappear just when I receive a notification (so I can see the preview on the status bar).
Also, is there a way to hide my status bar in my homescreens but have it reappear by tapping the area where it would normally be?
I have looked for a way to do this but I have only found methods of completely hiding the status bar without being able to see it when necessary...
Thanks.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
I don't know if this is what you mean, but I use ADW (the paid one) and I have my status bar hidden and the home button pulls the notifications down when I want to see/check. If I get a notification, it doesn't stay down, but it is simple to hit the home button, check notifications and then slide it back up.
I was actually looking for something that would either:
1) show me the notification alert at the top of the screen even when I have hidden the status bar OR
2) allow me to see the status bar whenever I want (possibly a button press/gesture/etc.)
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Adw launcher or go-laucnher can do that.
hide the notification bar, use gesture to hide/unhide it
Yea ADW- Launcher does this. You can hide the notification bar permanently but then set a gesture to swipe down/up and you get it to pop up like it was always there. Do the same swipe and it goes away.
OK, thats good to know.
Thanks for the help.
Hi all,
Thus may be a daft question, but.
Last night I installed the sat nav software and ever since the navigon icon hd as been present in the status bar.
I've been through the settings but can't find a way to turn it off, am I overlooking something?
Just press the icon for few seconds in the notification window and an "App info" will show up. Then uncheck "Show notifications".
Just took the ota and now I'm on lyz28j. I notice that the notification and soft buttons hide and I can't find a setting to disable it. Is this a new feature in lollipop?
I flashed the full LYX28J image because I use TWRP and I'm rooted. I still have the normal notification bar which does not hide except for full screen video. Soft buttons sometimes hide, but like they always have. Are you using the standard launcher? With Nova I can hide the notification bar.
Hi,
Is it possible to make the navigation bar be hidden while in the home screen outside of apps? Cause in apps you can hide it and go full screen.
Also is it possible to hide the top bar with the clock and icons kinda like the nav bar when it's hidden making that you have to swipe down ( up for nav bar ) to reveal it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in settings-> Display->Navigation bar
turn on the show and hide button setting
now double tap the dot on the far left of the nav bar (will turn into outline rather solid circle)
caveat nav bar will show up when virtual keyboard is activated*
