Fixed! :- I wiped the data for search 1.1 in titanium back up and rebooted the kindle after this the notification pull down is back! So if you ever accidently deleted search just do the above!
Hey Everyone,
My notification/status bar has vanished on my KFHD7" it happened after I was trying to change the search to Google so it'd stop taking me to amazon marketplace search and I'd accidently deleted search 1.1 when I thought I'd pressed freeze! I really shouldn't attempt such things without sleeping! Anyway I rebooted after That still not realising then the bar was gone.. It's not the launcher settings as I've checked in there I restored the backup of search when I noticed I'd not froze it and it's still the same!
It's no big issue I'd just rather have it there for notifications because no alternative seems to work for me
Any idea's?
Edit : forgot to mention I'm rooted and using kinology I have Google apps I use apex launcher no lock and holo lock
Also if I press search on my Pie soft keys it brings down the menu but only shows the settings buttons and an empty notification screen even though I know there's some there!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi and good morning.
So i had successfully rooted my nook at the start of this year, had it all setup with my apps, etc.. and well i also had a ton of apps for my 4 yr old on there. She was using the hell out of it and last night i looked over at her and i noticed that the Nook was rebooting. I didnt think much of it but then i saw it booting back up to the original OS, not the screens I have gotten familiar with seeing. Im not 100% sure, but im 99% sure that somehow she navigated to the settings of the NOOk and selected "Erase & Deregister Device". Ugh, im crushed.
But just wanted to check a few things before i root again:
1. I have to imagine it is okay to root again, correct?
2. What software could i have been using to have a nice little backup of the items that i had been using? Is there any you are using?
3. My next step will also be find an app that only allows certain programs to be open by my daughter.
I guess I should maybe take advantage of it being set back to the original today and go over to B&N and read for free for the hour..
Thanks --- Aaron
Hi there
1. Yes
2. I use either appmonster or titanium backup. Which if you like it is worth paying for paid version. That way if you have to do a restore you don't have to constantly click install.
3. Anyone have an idea about this one?

3. Try using a separate launcher for your daughter. i.e. Use Zeam/ADW/LP for your home screen, then use one of the others for your daughter. You can setup her screens the way you want and "hide" the settings icon as well. You wouldn't be able to have a default launcher but it would give you the ability to limit what your daughter can and can't use.
Thanks for the quick replies on this, much appreciated!

You can hide the entire status bar with zeam, there is a widget for full screen mode.

Can hide the status bar with ADW, as well.
Buy her one of her own!
We do have nandroid backups working now, that may be the way to go.
Thank you,

Good for the launcher but it returns in the apps. My biggest issue with it is when I'm typing I accidentally hit it constantly when I'm trying to REALLY type in landscape mode. Very annoying and frustrating.
They way they handle the softkeys and toolbar in Customized Nookie Froyo rocks
For some reason, my husband's rooted nc has lost the notification bar on the home screen. He uses Zeam for the launcher. Have not been able to find a fix. Help please.

tell him to clear data for zeam launcher using the application manager
it will reset everything to default but it should give him back his notification bar
Did you try to double tap on empty space on your desktop?
That should uncover the notification bar in Zeam.
I just got mine yesterday and had this issue...or at least one similar to it when using zeam. Seems that having "full screen" checked in zeam's prefs will cause the notification bar to get covered up.

Yes. That's what the Full Screen setting does.
Hello! This is my first post on this forum, so please LMK if I have breached any protocol.
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD running 7.2.2 (I have disabled auto-updates by renaming otacerts) with Nova Launcher and Hololocker. Everything was working beautifully for a month or so, Google market is running great, etc.
It locked up streaming a video yesterday and I restarted the Kindle. When I restarted the Kindle, I had the screen locked in Horizontal mode. Now, when I start my system I cannot get the system tray to appear at the bottom of the screen nor can I get into the options menu at the top of the screen.
What are your thoughts on how to fix this? Some googling indicates that this functionality is controlled by the systemui.apk file. Is there some modification to this file I can do to fix the problem? Should I reinstall Hololocker? Nova Launcher?
Switching back to the Amazon home screen does not fix the problem.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Solved
>>Solved! (that was quick) Disenabling hololocker fixed this. Then I reenabled and it is hunky-dory.
However, if anyone has any good tips or tricks for hacking the systemui file, they sure would be appreciated!
System Tray Missing

apoth30sis,
The screen lockers sometimes cause the tray and the upper status bar to disappear. We
are looking into a solution. Do not edit the systemui.apk file, the results can be
disastrous. We will post a solution once we have a solid Locker program. So far
everyone has some bugs, so we are designing our own. Thank you for the post, we
will advise once we are ready.
I had similar problem. Somehow, the notification bar is tied into the Google apps you installed for Google Play. To fix this, you must activate your Gmail app on your fire HD. Once it's activated, your notification bar will return. Don't forget to reboot after activating Gmail app.

ameswilliam,
This makes sense since Gmail sends a setup command to the notification bar.
Thank you for the feedback.
I've read in several places that you can get rid of the persistent Google search bar on the stock home screen by long-pressing it and responding to the dialogue box that then pops up. I've tried this and the long press has no effect on mine.
I've also tried disabling Google Search and, while this did stop the search app from starting when I tapped the persistent search bar, it didn't make the bar go away.
I'm running the UK customised version of the .77 stock firmware.
Anyone got any ideas why this isn't working for me, and/or what I could do to make the thing go away without running a custom home screen or installing Xposed? I do know that removing it won't buy me any extra home screen space, but I just don't like it being there!
I don't know if I'm missing anything, but if I long press on the homescreen to enter the mode for adding widgets I'll have the possibility to remove/add the Google search bar.
Brilliant! Many thanks. This is clearly a different method for removing the search bar than all those articles and threads that I found (eg this one started in September last year) - and much better too, because you don't have to delete the stock home app's data and lose all your carefully laid out home screens if you decide that you want to get it back at a later date. Presumably it's a change that was made because of that very problem. I wonder why the updated functionality never came to light in any of my Googling or XDA searches? I'm normally pretty good at tracking down info that way. Perhaps my mojo is waning...
This feature is only for the Xperia launcher, it's better than the google launcher, that you can't get rid of it
I'm talking about the little microphone icon. I used to tap it then tell Google what to search for. I've had it go missing before on previous on my Note 5 but I figured it had to do with the custom ROM I was running. But now I'm 100% stock and the microphone has gone missing again.
I use nova launcher and when I restore my saved launcher configuration the app icon appears but then disappears as soon as I try to use it.
Maybe the app was updated and you'll have to place a new widget on your home screen for it to stick.
