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?

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.

Anyone knows how to make brightness control working under MiniCM7 2.0.7?
I think everything is configured properly in CM setting, but while sliding left-right on the status bar nothing happens...
There is any fox for that?

When you press the status bar , DO NOT pull it down.
When you press the top of the status bar , the status bar automatically "protrudes" a little bit. That's when you have to scroll.
Scrolling maybe a bit harsh initially. Keep scrolling
Hey, just have a couple questions about things I can't seem to figure out.
Am running 2.1.0 now, and when I pull down the notification bar, whether I have notifications or not, it is coming up with the full page of toggles instead of the notification bar with the weather/horizontal scrolling toggles etc. How do I change this back? It never used to default to that.
And secondly, in the same notification window, how do I bring the cpu readings back?

I have Viper not installed currently. But you definitely will find a answer for your prolem in the viper tweaks app

Long press on the date I think to get the notification bar back.
Tweaks, Status Bar, Header to get to Info Bar settings
Yeah I've been trying the last 2 days. I am stumped.

Legend. Thank you!
Actually, wait. The info bar one worked. The notification wasn't quite what I was after. When I pull down the notification bar it's defaulting to the whole wrong page. The large toggle page instead of the notification window.

I'm glad the info bar worked! There's so many tweaks in the rom its hard to find them lol.
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling the pull down defaulting to the wrong page is a bug, a few people in the thread have reported it. Been playing with it, and it's hit or miss for me what happens when I pull down the screen, it's annoying. The devs will fix it, for now I turned off the large toggle page
You can change everything in venom tweaks
Hard to find is right! Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue, I searched through the thread for ages before posting, but it's just as hard to find anything in there...
Didn't know you could turn the big toggles off, I never use them so will do so now! Mine is also hit and miss when it happens it seems. Thanks again for your help.

Glad to help you get it sorted. I wasn't sure if you could turn the big toggles page off either (they're called quick settings), but there is an option under the Statusbar tab in Venom Tweaks to turn them off, so I did, never really used them anyways. The Extended Quick Settings and the CPU info still show up on the notification screen, so I'm good.
Let me know if you need anymore help, you can always pm me if needed
Hello
My glas is broken and I'm gonna change it in the next weeks.
Right now my touchscreen works everywhere perfectly, beside the statusbar. The touchscreen just starts to react under the statusbar (even in recovery mode).
Is it possible to access the statusbar instead of pulling it down? maybe with a button?
Installed rom is CM10.2.
I ask for it, because I don't want always to reboot to clear the statusbar, some notifications doesn't disappear from itself and I can't pull down the status bar to clear it.
