Is it possible to someway utilize the the landscape Status bar and stream info in that space and maybe write that same dimension at the bottom for other options...... It's just a thought....

It's called the ticker in the code. Someone could possibly re-enable it. Not sure if anyone has tried. The code is either disabled or completely removed in Android 5.0+.
Sooooo..I can get to my code but I don't know what to rewrite and where to write it. I can do it: I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW......lol :good:
Do you know who can help. I think it would be an awesome option.. PM

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.
I was looking for anything to make the status bar visible when I turn off the screen.
Like, I turn off the screen and I can still see the status bar.
Is there a way to do that? Does anybody know anything like that?
Thanks!

There is option of daydream in screen settings (in android since 4.2 or 4.3), where you can enable basic info to be shown when phone is charging or docked. I use it and it looks nice. However it is not possible while phone is not connected to anything.
hm..too bad....thanks

I tried some, but DashClock Widget seems the most optimal app for that.
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
They're kind of distracting, and imo useless. Any way to get rid of them?
Wouldn't be too bad if there was a dedicated space in the status bar for them, but when they come and go, icons to the left bounce around.

Yes I find them to be very distracting as well. I did a quick search to look on how to disable them but came up empty [emoji852]️

I ended up just disabling the data icon entirely. I almost never end up in a dead zone without signal/wifi, and if you really want to know you can use a widget or KLWP or something to make an indicator on your desktop.

How did you disable the data icon?

Enable the System UI Tuner by pulling down the notification shade and long pressing the settings gear icon for a while.
Then, find System UI Tuner in the System Settings. From there you can disable various icons.
Sony monitor their own Community forums for feedback. There are a few threads over there already about these network indicators causing icons to shift around; plenty of people find them irritating. Be sure to add your thoughts to those threads and hopefully Sony will change the icons in a future update.
I went to phone settings and found a Sony email address and sent some feedback mostly about the status bar indicators, nfc icon, auto brightness, and missing Oreo night mode (blue light filter). But I'll check out the Sony forum. Both Oreo and the phone are fairly new, so maybe it's just they need to polish the software a bit.
I thought I was the only one finding this annoying. I was about to create a new thread about it. I think what I can do for now is to disable the entire icon and install some third party app for wifi indicator.

Thank you!!! Can't wait to get home and try this, will update this post with the results.
Since the android 10 update the Quick setting toggle for Navigation Bar has been removed. Is there a way to add this feature as I don't always use gestures and like to switch. Your help will be much appreciated. I have a Verizon Galaxy S10+
Bump. This was a dumb move. Why remove such a useful toggle?

My thoughts exactly. Some apps don't work well with gestures.

I found a workaround that does the trick for me, using the One Hand Operation + module from the Good Lock family. See screenshots.
I'm wondering where the hidden system setting is for the navbar toggle. Anyone know? If I knew, I could just create a Tasker event that could be added to Quick Toggles/Settings. TIA.

This was one of the first things in beta that people complained about. Samsung responded with the exact response they replied with on all requests and questions "we'll pass this on to our engineers, blah, blah, blah". LOL, I sometimes wonder if Samsung engineers even use Samsung phones.

Well, the ability to toggle the navigation bar on/off is still here (as can be seen in my previous post). If we can determine where the hidden system setting is located, creating a quick toggle should be pretty simple.

Well if you find a way to make a toggle pass that along.. Thanks
There's always been an old way to add toggles back. My carrier always hides the mobile hotspot toggle so I have to re-enable it every update. Perhaps if we can find the syntax for the Navigation Bar toggle in Android 9 we could bring it back this way? it would be something like custom(com.samsung.settings/com.samsung.android.settings.NavigationBarTile)
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ttings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
My thoughts - you can run "settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles" on a samsung android 9 device that has the navbar button, and that will show what the name of the quick settings toggle is.
