I got the LPY update today however I am no longer able to swype my finger across the notification bar to reduce/increase brightness. I made sure auto brightness feature was unchecked.
Does anyone know if this feature has been removed by Samsung in ICS?
bump because I know I am not the only one who is missing this feature.
Cant believe this feature is missing on ICS.
I used to use it a lot.
Now I'm going to have do it looooooong way through settings, which is a pain in the arse.

I had seen a friends Samsung Vibrant and he showed me how you can actually raise and lower the brightness settings of the phone by holding your finger on the status bar for a second and then swiping either left or right on it to adjust the brightness levels.
Just a cool feature if anybody is interested in investigating it.
Thanks,

I've seen this in action and it's pretty cool. Wonder if it's hiding in an .apk somewhere....
As far as I know, its in the framework Part and @kmobs tried it but needs help with the linear layout ...
Any application?
Is there any application with this feature? To change screen brightness INTO the status bar.
Any one can create such application?

You could
There are ROMs with brightness controls in the notifications.. Open Notification bar, tap the icon.. Has various options from Auto/30/100 all the way up to like 5 or so options. I tend to leave mine on Auto except when I'm using the phone as a car GPS in which case I need it brighter, and I let Tasker do that for me.
Has anyone else noticed that in Froyo you can no longer change the brightness by swiping on the notification bar?
at my version JPK i still have that "feature" and it still annoys me
i don´t like it at all.
It works, but they've updated it -- I guess because it was too easy to change brightness by accident:
Hold finger on notification area until date DISappears, then slide whichever way you want.

thanks a lot!
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 there!
After updating to LPY slider action (hold top line for a second and then slide to left or right) to control the brightness do not work any more. Is that only me or this feature are not implemented to 4.0?
Thanks!
Yeah I noticed it was gone too, which is odd considering it is not something I think Samsung would have dumped.
I seemed to have lost the slider functionality too after official ICS update from Samsung. Any way to get this back...it was useful.
Slider not working! Good stuff gone!
anyway to get it back? should we expect a patch or something?
Yes, it's especially odd considering one of the leaked ics builds originally had it.
I am hoping to get it back as well. Love shortcuts like this, it was very useful.
It was great feature., why would they take it out? :banghead:

Hey guys
Today I updated to Android 9. Nothing to complain except this 1 annoying button.
This 1 forces the phone into the landscape mode and I can't find the setting to disable it.
There is also no way to drag of somewhere else. Also no notification or similar
Any suggestions?
It's because you have gestures enabled. There's no way to disable it afaik.
Button is nothing but annoying

I also have this button and it's beyond annoying and covers up part of my keyboard. There's got to be a way or an app that gets rid of this thing for those of us who don't want it.
