I have a rooted Nook Color and it is fantastic. However, I want to use the Crosswords application from the Android market. The only problem is that it appears to mess up the size calculation for the screen. It looks to me like it is not correctly calculating the size because it assumes the notification bar will be at the top of the screen. So it ends up overlaying the notification bar over the clues... or in horizontal mode, it overlays them over the bottom row of the software keyboard.
So, I want to selectively disable (or move to the top) the notification bar. Is there any way to do that? Or am I doomed?
Thanks. -ben
I too would love to know how to disable the bar or maybe even move it to the top. After mapping back and menu to the volume buttons the notification bar is really just a nuisance in its current location. However, through my limited research I've found nothing!
Edit: This may be just what you're looking for, I was looking for a more broad solution though....

Softkeys is great for back and menu
The softkeys app is great for the back and menu... I wish it included a button to make the current app be full-screen. But I don't know if it is even possible to do that.
I'm sure it is possible I just don't know if the demand is high enough to add said function, like I said earlier I would love a more permanent way to toggle the bar system wide.
Enjoying a fresh install of ICS, but becoming more and more annoyed at accidentally tapping the status bar that's now located at the bottom edge of the screen, just below the space bar when typing.
Ive hunted through the options and I'm sure I've just missed the right check box, but where/how can i return the status bar and the associated buttons/menus back to the traditional top of the screen and safely out of my typing reach?
Currently running SGT7 20120604 nightly.
thanks for the help.

I also want to know. I don't like bottom position.
Ditto, it's driving me crazy!
just change the resolution to 240dpi, you'll get into phone mode instead of tablet mode. Therefore you will get your status bar on the top.
If you mean by "ICS Buttons" is the soft keys of Navigation Bar, you can disable it from the system settings.
I upgraded via Muniz method to 5.0, meaning I can downgrade to 4.4.2 if I need to, but I'd rather try and stick with Lollipop. However, if I can't do a few specific things, I may be forced to downgrade. Perhaps y'all can help me out.
1. I hate the new notification system. I'd rather not have the annoying iOS type notifications on my lockscreen, but there's no way to just get the little icon in the top when getting a message or something. It seems you have to have that heads up stuff. Am I wrong? Is there a way to bring back just the icon at the top of the screen? Along with that, there's no way to dismiss the notification on the lockscreen while leaving an icon in the status bar. Overall, I'm just really really hating the notification situation.
With that said, when my phone is airlplane mode, which is most of the day at work, there's a damn heads up notification on my lockscreen telling me that even though there's also an icon in my status bar. Same with when Power Saving mode is on and when I'm connected to Wifi.
2. The trusted places seems to lack WIFI options, and even when connected to my trusted bluetooth device, I still need to swipe to unlock. On my old GS3 with Xposed, I had the No Lock Home module which didn't require the swiping, while also worked with Wifi and BT.
3. So far, I'm really unimpressed with the camera. Are there any cameras out there that have manual focus that WORKS on the S5? (Not totally a Lollipop issue).
4. Is there a way to get rid of the typing keyboard chooser in the notification panel?
I'm sure I could add more to this as I go on, but I feel like if I can at least fix the notification situation, I'd be ok for now until Xposed works (if it ever works) on TW 5.0.
Thanks!
Pulling down my status bar takes nearly a second to respond. I.e., a second between the gesture and the status bar actually pulling.
In Safe Mode it is normal.
Is there any way to diagnose this?
I do have Xposed installed, and using Gravity Box to tweak the status bar. However, GB is still active in Safe Mode, and no delay.
I have Huawei P10, newly bought and came with Nougat but then the update for Oreo was available so I updated it...
Now I don't like how the pull down notification has changed. When I swipe from the top down it opens whole notification window at once. It doesn't open firstly 1 row and then on the 2nd swipe down the whole window.
This is what I'm talking about:

Is there a way to change it like it was before?
I am having the same issue. Plus with the auto-brightness deactivated, the screen changes the brightness as her wish, and sometimes the screens turns on without getting a notification. I asked for help in this forum, you can search the thread, but the only solution that they gave me, was that i make a wipe cache and a factory reset and the problem will be gone. I did it, i even downgraded again to nougat, and then update again. Nothing didn't work, so early this week i leave the phone on a tech support, and im waiting. Try the solution for yourself and if it doesn't work, do the same, go to the tech support. (sorry for my english)
I make an update for if anyone is interested. Got the phone again from the tech support, the problem still exist, just got the update 8.0.0.365. Huawei didn't fix the problem. If anyone knows any other way to fix it, please post it.
The same happened to me as well after the july update. Pulldown bar goes up in 2 slides, but down, it opens completely from just one slide. I did have a custom theme installed which modified the collors of the icons in the pulldown menu. I guess this was affected by the update. Problem is I can no longer find the theme to reinstall and uninstall. I am hoping for a solution besides a factory reset
backup and factory reset and restore. .... manner of 1 hour. Its highly recomended to do FR (factory reset) every major update nad update form nougat to oreo is one of these.
I have no screen issues or auto brightness or self turning on of display.
For the pulldown menu. When i have no notifications and swipe down i see all 2 rows of switches and brightness bar. When i have some notifications after swipe down i see only first row of switches and the notificitaion and i have to swipe again to see full notification list. Its how its mean to work on Oreo. Get used to it or go back to nougat

I apologize, I am an idiot. I will explain:
Ever since buying the phone, I installed a weather app (not sure if I'm allowed to write the name so I'll leave it out). Point is, that particular app always had a notification on, whenever I was swiping down, so naturally, the phone only showed 1 row of icons from the pull down menu. I uninstalled it a few weeks ago because it was not working right, due to the DCMA notifications, it started to hang, become inaccessible, stuff like that.
After taking it down, I've noticed that the pull down menu was showing in full. I thought this was either due to a theme I installed before the July update, that miss-fired , during the upgrade, or the new update screwed up my pull down bar.
So, naturally, I did what you wrote, first, a Factory Data Reset. No dice, pull bar still went down fully. I thought, ok, try the hard way, so I did a full Factory Reset (Phone Off, Phone On with Power button and Volume Button pressed). Still no dice, bar was full. I did the full reset again, this time deleting the cache as well. Again, the bar was full. So, I said (insert bad word) it, I'll use it like this, even tho I did not really liked it. Restored everything from back-up, and after I've configured everything, I decided to give the weather app another try. Pull Down Bar now only shows one row of icons, just like before.
Sorry for the wall of text.
Thank you again for the advice, and for your patience.
