Hi,
on installing the Null_18-ROM I set the Checkbox for "THE FULL SYSTEMUI" in Aroma-Installer. After that I got the Notification Bar, which was very nice. But on the other side the Double Tap for Brightness/Sound was disappointed.
Because of that I installed the ROM new without "THE FULL SYSTEMUI". The double tap now works again, but I have no Notification Bar.
Is it possible to reinstall only the Notification Bar? Or is there a way to activate it on Nova Launcher? I've looked for but I didn't found it.
Thx forward.
I'm not certain if that's possible, but a workaround is to put a brightness toggle widget on your home/lockscreen. That's been working pretty well for me.

There is no way to have them both, but check out my tutorial on an option and see if that will work for you

I was playing around with tasker and you can also assign a gesture in Nova to a tasker "task" that toggles between torch and normal.
The task could look something like:
1) Auto Brightness -- Set Off
2) Variable Add -- Name %BTOG Value 1
3) Display Brightness -- Level 30 -- If %BTOG Is Even
4) Display Brightness -- Level 255 -- If %BTOG Is Odd
Let me know if you're interested and I can go into more detail.
Thanks a lot for reply
@almulder1092
Maybe I'll try your way.
The Notification Bar is nice to have but not a must have

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.
I'm probably just missing something, but where is the option to disable the auto-hide of the notification bar when on the home screen?
Much thanks!
I didn't know there was an auto hide, but if you go to adw settings > screen preferences > hide status bar, you can enable or disable.

also, in older versions a up swipe gesture automatically hid the notification bar. I think they got rid of that as a default though.

It seems like this is what I was doing with my notification bar. I have the latest version though, so this might still be default. Thanks!

There is no real auto-hide.... either show or hide.
Under screen preferences... first option.
Also.... change your swipe up to something else if that what is causing it to hide.
I would like to be able to control music from the drop down of the notification bar. Using Widgetsoid I can get the controls in the notification bar but they do not function at all, is there any fix for this?
Also the widgetsoid widget when placed on the homescreen works perfectly it just doesnt work in the notification dropdown.

The current version of CyanogenMod allows for custom items to be placed in the status bar. There are options for play, forward, back, and pause. I use it and it works great.
That's cos some roms don't have the ability to have more then one touch function widget per notification line, I forget what's it's called but you need to enable the function in the frame work res file. Not a quick or easy thing to do.
Widgets in the notif bar is awesome.

Thanks for the responses. My phone isn't rooted but this is reason enough
If you need help rooting, I posted this in another thread last night.
Third, One Click Root is very idiot proof. But I will run you through a very brief guide: Download and install the driver for your respective computer's OS here and download the latest version of Pete's One Click Root. http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ Then, enable USB debugging by going under settings-> Applications-> Development, and checking the box. Assuming you have the correct drivers installed on your computer, you should plug your phone in and allow it to recognize the device and such. After it's all done, open up Pete's One Click Root and simply click Root My Phone. Let it do it's thing, then you are done.

Have you considered Widgetzoid? You can create a widget with the media buttons and have it placed in the pull down bar.
Make sure you have the correct widgetsoid (two versions), and do any other selections work from the notification bar?

I am using widgetsoid 2.x and have succesfully placed the music controls in the notification bar but all they do is activate a popup which allows me to control music which is cool but i would like to use them in the notification bar dropdown like you can on the LG revolution.
I think will root my phone sometime this week most likely with Maverick 2.0 as it seems to be pretty solid
Does anyone know if darkdroid supports widgets in the notification bar?
Just a quick question. With the latest update to the Maximus 7 ROM (May 19th Update), we got toggles in the notification bar. I was just wondering if there was anyway to change which toggles show, because there is no toggle for brightness and that is something i use quite often.

If you can disable the Maximus toggle bar then I'd just install powertoggles(free), they're wonderfully customizable in looks and options.
Alternatively you should be able to swipe over and show more toggles, almost all of the rom toggles I've seen work that way although I haven't tried Maximus since the latest update.

That was my first thought, as i have an app called notification toggles which is very customisable and i wanted to keep using it. It seems that the new toggles are baked into the ROM though so i'm stuck. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Did you try swiping back and forth on the toggles? I'm using trickdroid and I think it's the same basic toggle mod for both, when I swipe just one icon over there's a brightness option.

Yeah i've swiped and everything. It has WiFi, Bluetooth, Mobile data, Airplane mode, Silent, Vibrate, GPS, Sync, Rotate. I wouldve thought that Brightness would be more important that Auto rotate!
i am running Stock up including clock face but with NULL_18 as base for extra benefits.
how can i quickly see the battery status like what i see when i plug it in?
currently i have to go to Settings > Battery which is not quick and easy.
i had used the Watch Style app where you can get faces with battery but it seemed to use more battery and i like Stock look.
thanks for any suggestions.

When I double-tap, the status bar shows up. The problem is now when I load a full-screen app, the status bar is always there at the top. How do I go back to hiding the status bar at all times?

Thanks, I'll check out GMD. In the meantime, is there a setting somewhere to revert back to the no-statusbar UI?

Are you looking for a setting to switch back to the original tw launcher or for use in the nova launcher? To set touch whizz as the default launcher just go to nova settings and it's the first option, select touch whizz, switch the screen of and use the twisting arm wake gesture to select home. If you're looking at changing the nova settings it might be an idea to reflash null and not check full ui in the aroma options. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. It's a bit late here and I'm a bit frazzled

I'm in the TouchWiz launcher / shell, which is nice. No issue there. My problem is I two-finger tapped or double-tapped the screen to try gestures, and the status bar appeared at the top, showing the battery %, time, Bluetooth icon, etc. I now have no way to make this status bar disappear at the top. For example, I see it when I'm in Settings, or in the root browser, or any custom app.
It seems the two-finger tap toggled it on, but there is no way to toggle it off. Where is the setting to turn it off?

That's not the two finger toggle. The two finger toggle on stock or null without full system ui is a shortcut to brightness/volume and battery screen. Sounds like you've selected full system ui in the aroma settings. I can't see any options to switch off the status bar in apps. You can turn it off on the nova launcher with nova settings but that doesn't apply to apps. You can try flashing the Rom again and uncheck the full status ui and see if the status bar is still present in third party apps or you can download another third party app to control things like the status bar in apps. There's a list of third party apps you could use in the help sticky null_/free falling theme..... It's under notifications icons/soft buttons
