Is it possible to put bar gauges above and below the bottom bar (soft key bar) like dci battery and qwerty memory does on the top bar(task bar)?
I'm currently using dci battery and qwerty memory and also battclock. I like lots of info on my home screen, but don't want any redundancy and don't want to cover up some task bar items I like.
I just got the new version of battclock and it's got some nice capabilities, but I don't want to use them all on the task bar. I do want to replace the little battery gauge, but nothing else on my task bar. I use wktask and like how it shows open apps on the left side of my task bar (wish it had more capabilities like mmtask or arkswitch or whatever they are, but that's another issue)
I do like some of the other info battclock offers, but wish I had another way of displaying it. What I would like to do is display two more bars like dci battery and qwerty memory does except at the bottom of my screen above and below the bottom bar (softkey bar).
Does anyone know of anything like that or if it can even be done? If it can be done and doesn't exist does anyone feel like developing it?
Moved as not software release.

I have a V1605 vodafone UK at the bottom of the today screen, it has a small section displays battery icon and comms icon. When programs are running, they do not appears in the bar, however tomtom does, if tomtom is running you can see tomtom icon in this bar.
Can anyone tell me should I see all running programs here ?
Is there anyway to remove this bar ? Its using up vital real estate.
Bottom menu bar is the tray. Apps can stick whatever they want in there - check out PHM Tray Launch of VJTrayLaunch. Only selected icons appear, not all running apps (although I think the O2 extensions makes this an option).
I don't like the tray, and made solutions in the past to remove it, but it needs updating for WM5 (VJToggleToday).
There are a couple of other apps that do the same, try reading the end of my thread to find the name. A Russian program I think.

I was looking for a task manager.
I found valksoft true toolbar, its fab, it uses that tray area and shows running apps, you can switch to or close them, now that bar is useful.
Can I also had VJtray launch would they work together ?
In your pics I see it using the area where the hard button menu is, is that what it replaces ?
PHM Tray Launch is a better app then VJTrayLaunch due to the fact that I haven't rewritten VJTrayLaunch yet...
But yes, a tray launcher should co-exist with other tray apps.
I Use VJToggleToday II to remove my softkeys/start bar. Search on this forum for info.

As per the title, is it possible to hide the activity/notification bar from the bottom of the screen, particularly when viewing movies or playing games?
I would assume so, but it might have to be done by the app that you're using. It does so in the Youtube app, it makes the buttons disappear and replaces them with tiny dark dots so I would assume that as a dev, someone could do the same. But I dont recall there being an option to do it.
No?
I don't think so, however devs can move it, like in the game Spirit, they place it on the left so it's as though you're getting more screen space. However, I don't think you can fully remove it, as it's the main way of navigating the device. Hope this helps!
The dots are called lights out mode
you can use gesture control to hide the bottom bar

ChaCha's screen is landscape, so the title bar hold a big block of the screen.
And many apps are designed for lager screens, so there are two bars on the top,
Android TitleBar and app Title...some apps have a navigation bar on the bottom,
so there are so little space to display the main content.
I'm trying to find some apps can always hide/show the android title bar to make ChaCha's screen seems a little larger...
Any ideas?
GO Launcher EX.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at this time there is unfortunately no solution.
but you can ask the developers of the apps if they insert the full screen function!
use taskman
It is easy, just use taskman to kill the title bar~
Hi guys,
Is there any way to make our status bar longer / wider ? It really irritates me that some notifications do not show up on the status bar (like GMail, Facebook, Tapatalk etc.), because there are other apps occuping the place in status bar permanently (like CPU Usage Monitor, Battery Indicator Pro, Tasker or Avast! Mobile Security). So sometimes if I don't catch the notification sound I can't tell there is new email, facebook event or tapatalk post just by looking at the screen. I need to click on the status bar to see all the notifications. I turned off permanent notifications for some programs like Tasker or Avast, but this way they are not prevented to be killed by internal task manager. Taking into consideration the fact that status bar occupies only small part of the screen I would say it is a huge waste of space. Is there any way to hack it and make it longer / wider to display more icons / notifications ? My HTC Sensation shows more icons in the status bar and it has this nice arrow sign to indicate there are additional notifications. Here we don't have such indicator.
I'm not absolutely sure about the stock ROM -- although I think I do know and that the answer should be in the negative -- but on CM10, for example, there is an option to display the number of open notifications in the task bar. I haven't tested it so far -- if I remember to, I will give it a shot and report back in.
Bottom line: probably on a custom ROM.
Tired of waiting I installed CM10.2 on the N8010. I must say I like it very much, and it does solve several of the issues that are in Samsung's 4.1.2 Android.
But a feature that I really liked in the old system is the combined status/navigation bar at the bottom. Android > 4.3 has a status bar at the top and soft controls at the bottom which I consider less convenient (and consumes more pixels). Also, my muscle memory is very strong at wanting a back button in the bottom left position, not somewhere halfway the bottom bar).
Is there a way to get this (or sufficiently similar) behaviour in CM10.2? I already installed the Nova Launcher for several other desktop tweaks.
