This was essential for me in Gingerbread. ICS there is no option yet, anyone know how to do it myself, tablet is close to unusable atm. Whenever I type I miss loads as hit the status bar instead of the keyboard, also buttons more accessible at the top.
Thanks.
My bottom status bar (CM7) has never caused me issues. In fact, I can't recall seeing one with it at the top (except on phones of course).
The dots representing the different screens is up top, would you move that to the bottom? Seems like that would be a problem too. Maybe more so.
IT was an option in CM7 to have it at the top, the dots are hidden when in an App so would not cause a problem and the onboard keyboard would be flush with the bottom of the screen and functional.
I would also like the status bar on top.
This is my post with the answers I got:

Thanks for the replies. I've gone back to gingerbread until this is sorted, was finding it unusable.
id prefer the bar stay at the bottom but i do know what you are talking about with the keyboard. seems everytime i go for space, i hit that instead.

I for some reason am unable to press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, which unfortunately is exactly where the dialer button is and now I can not press numbers for in-call options. Any way I can change this screen w/o flashing? im on Xtrsense now and would like to stay with it. Thanks a lot I have metamorph and amon-ra.
Maybe another dialer option from the the Market like this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.kz-mek-dialerone-iApD.aspx
I've never used it, but it gets good reviews, and looks like the only thing you would be missing would be the * then on the bottom left. Hope this helps...
First of all - I admit complete ignorance of how screen resolution works in android, and how hardware acceleration for video / GL treats the display.
With that out of the way:
I just noticed that the proportions of the NC screen are not exactly like most other android phones which are 480x800, 480/800=0.6, while NC is 600x1024, 600/1024 = .586...)
Looks like we could "steal" 24 pixels at the bottom part of the screen for permanent display of "menu" and "back" (and maybe "search") buttons and still have the rest of display sized so that 480x800 applications would scale up "right". (1000/600 = 0.6)
If buttons are displayed constantly in all applications, e.g. even while video playback or while playing full-screen games, it could very well provide the missing android buttons w/o the need for soft buttons app.... Yeah, I've heard that honeycomb does away with the need for phys. buttons, but honeycomb is not here yet...
I honestly have no idea if this is workable (e.g. it's possible that hardware acceleration for video playback or full-screen games must use the entire screen) but I would love to see what people think....
You should look at what archos does, they lack hardkeys and are sold as tablets.
A proper bar would be nice (especially in froyo) I find myself using the stock nook ones more often then button Savior.

Also, pandigital novel/cruz custom firmware has a nice set of buttons on the status bar. I eould love to see this status bar replace the nook status bar, but have no idea how it would be done.

I'd guess status bar buttons is not enough - that's what we currently have in stock NC firmware - and the status bar disappears on usual occasions (playing video/fullscreen app/game). I'd also venture a guess that in android this disappearance is intentional - because you don't want to pull down notification area while swiping the screen in a game. What I meant is giving up part of the screen for good - just to have it display buttons, so that even the android system is not aware of it. I'd venture a guess that this is best done in the kernel.... BTW for a real life example of this idea, see Samsung Continuum phone with "two" displays made out of single display -
Hello. I am using HTC One (international) with ViperOne 1.0.0. I have a scrolling problem when I am at the vertical quick settings (not the native one) where after I scroll all the way down to NFC, and lift my finger off, I could not scroll upwards, not even after I close the notification and open the vertical quick settings again. This means that the first option I could see is Airplane Mode and anything in front of that (i.e. Media Volume, Flashlight, and Rotation) cannot be accessed because I could not scroll upwards.
However the phone does detect the action of scrolling downwards even when I am already seeing the last item (NFC) because I see the "bar" that appears on the far right when I try to scroll downwards.
The current solution that I can find is to reset the status bar using Venom Tweaks so that when I am viewing the vertical quick settings, I come back to the top of the list (Media Volume).
The most intriguing part of the problem is that if I just keep scrolling up and down, I won't get stuck like what I have described in the first paragraph. Only when I scroll to the very bottom and lift my finger off the screen does the problem occur again.
Is there a bug in the rom or is this only my problem?
Thank you very much.
I don't have this prob.
But i have only some Vertical EQS, because i removed some of this
Maybe try to remove something

Oh maybe that's another "solution", but if there's really a problem like that then removing items means not having it solved.
Would you mind trying to add a few items back and see if you have the same problem, so that the developer would know and might fix it in the next version.
Anyway, I've taken your advice and I'm fine with fewer (but less used) options to avoid the problem for now.
Thank you very much!
Hi, i have a lumia 535, this phone doesn´t have fisical navigation bar (back, windows, search) it does have a virtual/sofware one, it also auto hides sometimes in some apps, my problem is in some apps/games when it autohides it leaves a black space where it should be the nav bar and in some game/app it doesn´t let you see what is behind it, and you have to play with some elements of the game under this "black space" and in other it also moves the touch areas of some elements of the game/app (li.e.: you have to touch 2 cm down and 2 cm right to click certain button) its like the app is trying to be full screen but this balck space or the navbar doesnt let you see beneath it, any reg tweak or solution to this matter?
Thanks
No
Just wait for the windows 10 mobile final version.
I found that disabling autohide in the Settings, then swiping up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the nav bar and swiping up again to hide it takes care of the screen problem. I wouldn't touch WM10 with someone else's phone for now. The supposed 'final' release will be too buggy.
I keep returning to home screen whenever I type too quick while pressing the space bar
This gets very annoying. I've searched for a nav bar to replace the stock one but then my dock apps get hidden behind my nav bars and the keyboard also messes up too.
Is there anything to reduce the size of the nav bar?
Why not remove the bar entirely? Just use the button. One tap for back, hold for home and swipe for multitasking.

Not as far as I know. There are other options that can help. You can hide it altogether, which is how I have it. Loving it since day one. Or you could get it to hide in a floating dock. Or bring it up only on swipe up, I think.
I had a similar problem with a different phone. I ended up simply moving the keyboard up using the keyboards settings. Unfortunately I don't remember which keyboard app it was. I use SwiftKey now, and it lets me float the keyboard.

Too confusing. They should let you customise the gestures
Honestly I've removed the nav bar I just use the single button, finger print reader.
Tap for back
Hold for home
Swipe for recents.
Don't think I could go back to a nav bar now.
