The past few days I've been getting a "Status Bar" force close which means the notifications bar completely disappears, including the main Android buttons in Tablet Tweaks.
Going into the settings and toggling top status bar or bottom status bar doesn't bring it back, nor does going into Manage Applications and clicking Force Stop on the status bar.
Has anyone run into this issue and been able to fix it without rebooting?
Haven't had the issue in a while (knock on wood), but it always recovered pretty quick (a few seconds later). Have you tried disabling "disable fullscreen"? That seems to have helped out. I found toggling all the buttons in the Tablet Tweaks area fixed a lot of things...
I had the same issue yesterday. After playing with WIFI setting several times, the status bar suddenly force closed and was not able to recover. I had to reboot the Nook.
Same issue here. My status bar will occasionally force close when playing around with one specific widget (Pure Messenger). Sometimes it will come right back and sometimes it doesn't and nothing outside of rebooting will fix the problem.
Has anyone come up with a solution that doesn't require a reboot?
Same, restarts sometimes, other tines it doesn't come back. You could use Hot Restart rather than reboot but otherwise...

App in the market, it's a widget that you tap and it'll offer to "hot restart", ie: Restart Android. It's a little faster than a full reboot.
You could try adding the open/close status bar shortcut to your homescreen. Long press on home screen->launcher actions->open /close status bar.
I've started using Taker on my NC and I've found every time I open it, Status Bar crashes, and about half the time doesn't come back... Meh.

Thanks. Which launcher? I had one fc lastnight, but fixed right away by rotating to landscape.

Doubt that.. It fixes itself sometimes after a few seconds. Other times a reboot is required.

The default ADWLauncher has it, although it interacts very strangely with the double-chevron "allow fullscreen" soft-button control (diddles the same API, perhaps?). Just added it, so I haven't had time for a status bar crash since.
Rotating never worked for me, but the "Notification Restart" app worked maybe a couple of times, but hasn't the last few instances.

Unfortunately the status bar show/hide shortcut trick doesn't work if the status bar itself is well and truly gone. So far only a reboot has brought it back reliably.
In other news though, I've recently removed the Elixir widget from my home screen and gone to manually turning on/off the WiFi and that seems to have improved things for me. YMMV

I just upgraded to n102, no OC, and almost immediately got three instances of the status bar turning invisible, but still working (the screen space is still reserved but blank, the buttons work, you just can't see them), and rotating the screen fixes that problem. Smells like a missed repaint of some kind.
No complete crashes yet.
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 guys, I dont know why but like 10 after every reboot my status bar stops showing things but keeps working, this happened (I'm not sure that this is the cause) after installing and unistalling this application, I wanted to try how it works, when I pull down my status bar I can tap notification but i cant see it, I just see homescreen like I haven't pulled down.

If you're running a custom ROM you could try reflashing it without wiping anything.

Is there a way to force apps to look like this for the bottom and top bar with Xposed?

I don't think so. But there are apps which can force the status & navigation bar dissappear (like immersive mod) if you are interested.

I was hoping for a different answer
Tinted Status plugin and build.prop wont help? Is the translucency part of the app?

I don't know :|. . Basically it will force the bars to pull down and you can bring them back with swipe(it's more like full screen with instant access to the bars) . (you activate the feature from power menu)
I hope that I helped

Yes you can. There's an Xposed module called force kitkat traslucent bars os something like, however I have tested it and disabled. Yes apps look awesome, but the problem is that as the bars become traslucent, the app doesn't detect they are there, what makes it impossible to press some buttons and creates some inconsistency on the notification bar. In my opinion even though it looks much better than black bars, I wouldn't enable it because of functionality, but it's up to you, you should try and see if it is worth
Has anyone else had this weird issue? Recently I applied a Samsung theme from the store and the navigation bar button icons dissappeared but the buttons are still there and functionable. Tried re enabling all disabled apps, wiping cache from bootloader, rebooting, applying stock themes, just about everything. Factory reset fixed the problem but than it reoccurred. Going to follow up with a screenshot.
Did you double tap the dot in the left corner of the nav bar?
If so, swipe up from the bottom, the nav bar should appear, double tap the dot again.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not missing the navigation bar. It's just not displaying anything in it. Just looks like a transparent bar. The only thing I can see is the little dot on the left to lock it. Screenshot below.

So, it now does it without applying a theme?

I can't get the icons to show up again without factory resetting the device, soft reset does nothing.. Tried restoring from backup that occurred before applying the theme, and it's still broken. Re enabled all disabled packages, no luck..
Ok, that is an odd one.
Hope you get it worked out. I'll keep looking.

How about in Safe Mode? If it doesn't there... youll know it's an app... or something after your initial setup.

Still occurs in safe mode Thanks for the suggestion though.
Same thing happened to me when I installed one of the black navigation apks on here. Factory reset was the only way I was able to get them to reappear.
are u using transparent navbar overlay apk ?
u can just uninstall the apk app from settings then reboot. icons will show

I was using a black navbar overlay apk, however I tried removing it and rebooting without any success. What's interesting is that I just Factory reset my phone and the black option for navigation bar still persists. Did they add that back in or something?

they had black in factory rom, but when u update firmware it'll be gone. i think.
Sometimes my nav bar icons would dissapear when my blue light filter was turned up very high.

Did you by any chance install a transparent navigation bar apk? I found one and installed it and this same thing happened. I went onto Settings/apps and found the com file, Uninstalled it and rebooted and it went back to stock.
It's possible one of the overlays I installed in substratum contained a transparent nav bar and I didn't notice or something, so maybe by removing the black navbar and rebooting I wasn't addressing the real problem. That sounds feasible, in the end I ended up just doing another factory reset and all is good. Thank you guys for all of the suggestions, I'm fairly certain this was the issue. So maybe avoid transparent nav bars for now
