Hey guys,
I've an Htc One M7 and i love it, and i also love the Sense.
But one thing that is not perfect (in my opinion obviously) are the icons in the status bar.
For me they are too big!
I use power saver mode, the percentage of the battery (like most of people i guess), often my phone is in vibrate mode, and if i set an alarm and i receive a notification.. OMG the status bar is full!! (considering also that there are the clock and wifi/data)
tell me what you think about it.
Have a nice day :good:
Yep I like it. Especially in sense 6.
I like the transparent status bar, but often there are too much icons on it :/

if you have a custom rom there are exposed modules (or even tweak apps in some roms) where you can hide certain notification bar icons...
me, I like them the way they are.
Yeah
When you install for example viper rom you can customize the statusbar

Hey all you talented developers,...
as our SAMOLED Displays suffer from degradation of the organic LED when constantly emmiting bright white or blue,
some of us found here the need of a hideable status bar.
I searched all the internet and all of this forum but couldn´t find such an app.
Is there any app or widget possible which can hide or un-hide the status bar?
Or is there any adb code that hide it and onther adb code that un-hides it??
Any help would be highly welcome.
Somehow ist should be possible.... at least we are on android
greetz the bapsack
Edit:
P.S.
1. as far as I know no launcher hides the statusbar permanently
2. even though some (!) apps might support fullscreen the status bar is still there in most apps
Both LauncherPro and Zeam have hideable status bars. See market.
the status bar is only hidden in the launcher
if you open any app e.g. internet or navigation the status bar is back in its place
Try dolphin browser, it has full screen I think

I wonder if adding the notitlebar attribute in the framework manifest would work
No clue though, will try when have time or someone else could
Degradation? I don't think so.
Anu source?
I think the display only suffers from a minor burn-in problem, where the burn in disappears after somewhile.
well take this pic of a blank white screen aas a proof
you can still see the status bar as a shadow

ADW.Launcher has a hidable status bar. You just flick your finger UP, the status bar hides. Flick it UP again, it returns.
PS : I can fit in 5 rows of icons easily.

the aim is to hide the freakin status bar permanently
e.g.: even when navigating, web-browsing or running any other app
This adw.Launcher can NOT do!
Just start any app and zack, back is the statusbar no matter what launcher u use ADW.Launcher, Lauchner.Pro or Zeam
I have status bar burn in, viewable on the screen test blue background.
5 months, low brightness, status bar hidden most of the time using launcher pro.
Pretty sad really

That's not even a Galaxy S hah, and no burn in here with launcher pro 99% of it's life. I'm not sure how this is viewed, but if someone without a status bar is getting the same thing, it's seems a bit irrelevant in general to blame the status bar?
@bapsack
I accidently thanked you for that post hah wanted to quote it, anyways the reason for that is because it's not possible to replace that yet obviously, nothing integrates all the dynamic info it displays. It's required sorry bud!

tell me how to do and I will check
My bet is:
-make your notification bar 0-20% black
-set 50%/50%/20% R/G/B color for notification bar font and make icons with blurred edges in the same color
NO way you will get a burn.
Thnak you MACHETE.
Hey there people.. I am a big fan of android and custom roms particularly the cyanogenmod and how they let you totally customize your phone. I am here posting this thread for a different reason.
Can the status bar be redefined?? Instead of the age old static status bar on top of the screen, if it can be modded into a dot or some kinda mini icon which expands on clicking it and glows when you have a notification just like the LED that would be great. And if you can give some visual effects like each of the notifications sliding from the side of the screen it would be cool..
Imagine you have just the dot and it is present on all the apps or games, instead of big black bar floating on your screen and eating away your screen, you click on the dot, the notifications open, and close back on clicking on the icon, you can continue what you were doing without leaving the app.
Developers please have a look at this and do it.. It would be a great success..
It's a nice idea, but I think most of us want that instant info when unlocking the phone. I want to see time, wireless signal and battery at a glance. Not unlocking, then pressing a dot or icon first! It would be neat if what you are suggesting could be implemented on full-screen apps though! i.e not having to leave Gallery when you hear a notification but don't have a statusbar...

How about giving that option in settings, like an option of seeing signal, battery status alone with the icon/dot or show the full status bar or just the dot..
If there were options of clicking the dot and opening up only how much you want as in just the network bar and battery status and you click the dot again it open up some more with some visual effects and just again if you want a detailed expanded notifications.
Just saying..!
Please drop in some ideas
And it would be awesome if everyone who takes a look at this thread drop in some suggestion or their view or their idea..
Thanks..
Would be cool

You could have all those readings on the lockscreen for the instant info and still have the status dot when you unlock.
I want something similar to the tablet UI, that's what's awesome

I second/third/fourth/thousand this idea. I can visualize what OP is imagining and I agree, sounds like a project that would take off.
Here's my .02;
Dot colors should be customizable
We should have the liberty of choosing where it shows up On our screen edges (X,Y access)
Maybe the possibility of using our own images. As in I can whip up different icons and make them pop up instead of the dot. Cool idea for personal logo use, strictly to show off of course.
Sent from my el Futuro
Glad!
I am glad many have liked the idea.. another idea is you can choose the background of the notification bar that opens as in transparency, black, white etc..
Whenever you get a notification ripples flow from the dot indicating the notification and each color indicating a different notification..
Ohmy..!! my imagination seems to have no bounds..
Any developers?
Any developer who is interested???
How about something like using the google labs settings in the ICS browser. Whenver you put your finger on the side of the screen, your options pop up but in addition to options you time, signal, date, send message etc...

This would be really nice. I've grown so accustomed to the Browser's Quick Controls, and its one reason I rarely use Chrome.
And for now you could use Apex launcher, and set option for swype down to toggle notifications, and swype up to hide/show notification bar...

To sum up
options : full status bar
mini status bar
just the dot/custom icon
animations : ripple
glow
color of the notification bar : transparent
black
white
gestures : enable/disable
Any more additions??

do you mean where to get it
Hello. I don't know where any of that stuff is, but you don't want to look for the "status bar". You want to look for icons.
As far as the clock, I'm sure that's just a color change.
So you should search in the theme thread for icons to flash. This means you must be rooted. Justin Case you didn't know. LoL!!

I'm constantly messing about with my phone, anyway after uninstalling both of these mods and back to installing them again, I seem to have lost a setting... somehow...!
These are the only two mods I had so I know the setting I'm looking for is somewhere in these but it seems to have gone!?
It was a setting that made the profile icon (vibrate/mute icon) in the status bar invisible... not just changed it's colour, actually invisible. When having to reboot my phone the icon did come back up but as long as I just did a quick change over of vibrate back to mute or vise versa then it became invisible again.
Pretty pretty please can anyone help tell me where this setting is??? No, I'm not imagining it and yes it does or did exist between one of these two mods.
Happy to try any other stable mod if anyone knows of one that will do the same :-\
Re:
GB. StatusBar tweaks/QuickSettings Managment/Statusbar QuickSettings Tiles/Ringer Mode. You should be careful messing about with those 2 mods. They overlap and could have your phone fighting itself if you set the same thing in both mods. It could be a double knock out.:crying:

Don't worry, I only use xblast because gravity box doesn't seem to do the full transparent status bar, I should probably change it to a less bloaty mod!
I followed the settings above but that only changes it when the status bar is expanded doesn't it?
Cant get transparent notification bar on asus memo pad please help
One of my biggest pet peeves and first world problems, is the battery icon or % or anything battery related whatsoever showing itself on my phone. I do not want to see the battery life displayed anywhere ever on my phone, it's too stressful and pisses me off seeing it. I know when my battery low, and will check it in the Settings menu myself like once a day, or see it when charging.
How do I get rid of the battery icon and % from showing in the lockscreen status bar ? I use the Xposed Wanam app to hide the battery icon on the home screen status bar. But for some reason I still see it on the lockscreen.
I have the T-Mobile Note 5, running an International Marshmallow ROM. I am using the latest official T-Mobile firmware, bootlloader, and modem. But previous Lollipop ROM's I was always able to hide any battery stuff on the lockscreen.
Any suggestions ?
Lockscreen showing the damn ugly and stressing me battery icon WHICH I NEVER WANT TO SEE EVER ON MY PHONE
Homescreen, without the battery icon, which is perfect.
