Tried a dozen cases and finally settled on the sena case magnet flipper. The only issue is not being able to scroll down from the notification screen to clear calls or updates etc. The top of the case is too low.
Is there a desktop app that can do this?

If you have adw launcher installed just make a custom shortcut long press on a home screen with real estate -> custom shortcut -> pick your activity -> launcher actions ->open/close notifications.
Then just tap that icon on your home screen and the notification bar should open.
That would work, but you would have to be at a homepage, and with adw you can swipe down anywhere on the home page to open notifications anyway...
I think you can assign different actions to open notifications but i'm not sure how you would get them to work when away from the homepage. Adw will let you assign the home button to open notifications, etc, so that may work.
There are also some tablet tweaks that let you move the notification bar to the bottom of the screen...
Actually danger the swipe down action is another option but it's not default you have to enable it and you can make it do more than just open the notification bar. adw settings -> general behavior -> swipe down action.
That's awesome guys! Been struggling for months and all the cases (with front covers) hide the notifications bar or come down too low. In CM, went to settings / adwlauncher / general behavior / swipe down actions / open/close notifications.
Now can swipe on the homescreen to bring down the notification bar and clear it
Thanks!

Is it possible to:
1. Place direct dial contact shortcuts on the homescreen that have a picture or an icon? I lost myfavs with the cyan rom (and its worth it) but adding contact shortcuts just get me the rolodex icon for each contact and Id like to have a picture icon for each.
2. Put a notifications shortcut on the homescreen? I hate having to hit the menu button and then hit the notifications shortcut. Id like to have it right on my screen.

Better Cut will do it for you.
why would you want a notification short cut? all you do is drag the top of the phone down and the notification window comes down. no need to press menu or anything like that

While I didnt know this (thanks!) what I was referring too was the ability to look at my home screen and see a notification for missed call, or new email, etc. That way if i see I missed a call I can touch that icon instead of going through the notifications menu.
ok so here's my question, I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do.
So I long press my app drawer icon in my dockbar and it pops up a menu, I choose "Change Shortcut".
Then I choose "LauncherPro Shortcuts". From there I choose "Create New"...
Now here is where I'm stuck, I want to create a shortcut that lets me hide/show the Status Bar when I press it. Does anybody have any idea how to go about this?
Yes I know theres an option to hide the Notification Bar, and yes, I know I can assign hide/show Notification Bar with a swipe gesture. Put I want to do it with just a press of the icon and open the app drawer with a swipe gesture (I have my reasons ha)
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.
Does anyone know where I can find the Notification Access option? I tried looking through the settings, but couldn't find anything. Thank you in advance.
It doesn't appear they put a link for it in the rom, I don't think it's the only thing they left out.
Two ways to do this.
1. Install "Light Flow", it will ask you to turn on Notification Access and open it for you. Don't enable it for Light Flow or you won't be able to get back there using Light Flow.
2. Buy and run Nova Launcher Prime, then install TeslaUnread, run it and tap on Notification Bar Watcher to open the notification access setting.
If you use Nova Launcher, you can create a shortcut to almost any settings menu with their activities widget. Other launchers may be similar.
1. Press and hold to bring up the settings options.
2. Choose Widget
3. Under Nova Launcher at the top choose "activities". Press and hold to drop to the screen.
4. Scroll down the menu that pops up until you get to "settings".
5. Press the arrow on the left of settings and then scroll and select the item you want. In this case it would be "notification access".
Sorry for the late notice. I was able to get access to the Notification Access by installing the Mi Band Notify. I was setting up the Xiaomi Mi Band to alert me when I received text messages. As soon as the program was launched, it prompted me to enable the notification access. Thank you for following up.
I know each implementation of android is unique to the maker and that's the "fun" of android sometimes...
Just wondering if there's a way to make the notifications panel a little more flexible.
On Samsung if, for example, you have a multi-notification from my email app (4 email subject lines grouped into a single large notification) i can swipe down on each of the sub-notifications and they'll expand to give the quick actions.
On the ColorOS launcher it seems that only way to expand each of these emails is to click on the tiny little arrow in the corner of the notification
Just wondered if there's a setting / option to make it expand with a swipe
Similar behavior with tap ... on Samsung you tap and it'll launch the app, in ColorOS you can't tap until you've expanded each notification and then when you click on an email it takes you into that one email and then returns you back out to home when dealt with.
Is this a behavior just something i need to adjust to?
