Looking for a theme (or setting) that allows you to pull down your status bar while it is hidden. I currently have my status bar hidden, but I must open up an app in order to pull it down.
I couldn't find a thread for this idea. I apologize if I am doubling up on threads if one exists. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
Launcher Pro (and I believe a few other homescreen apps) allow you to assign a button to show the status bar (or notification panel). I have it set so that the home button shows my notifications.
Best of luck!
ADW can set this on swipe up/swipe down so that you would swipe down just as if the Status Bar was there even though it isn't.
Thanks for the responses. I've tried both and now have to decide which one I like more. haha

Is there any way to remove the notification bar time without completely hiding the bar itself (example: with MetaMorph)? Would like to replace the notification bar time with something such as the date or simply nothing at all.
Having a widget such as Beautiful Widgets display the time along side the stock notification bar time seems like overkill.

You may know this but Launcher Pro has the option of hiding the notification bar.
CM6 has this option.

the Ultimate Droid Rom also has the option to remove the clock from the notification bar instead of hiding the bar... if you don't want to do that.
Looking for an app to launch apps/shortcuts from the notification bar.
I have the recent tasks thing on my pull down, and I'm looking for something like that but where I can pick my apps/shortcuts. (IE, pull down the notification bar and one ONE line have 4+ icons of my favorite apps. Slide the bar left & right for more apps).
I don't want a program that I can launch from the notification bar that in turn pops up a folder of icons (Folder Organizer, App Launcher both can do this). That's one click too many.
No home button or hold search either - if I wanted that, I'd go back to Power Strip
Thanks for any help. Having no luck in the market again. I'm starting to think it's simply not do-able or I'd have found it by now.

ToggleBar is the closest I've seen.
Thanks, that's one I have not seen. I like how it's a combination launcher/toggle/contact. Needs some work. Would like to know why we have to do the extra step (pull down bar, launch this app, launch app you actually want to use).
Also suffers from ugly icon on tray (I guess I can modify the apk). Also wonder why you have to have an icon (an invisible square is no help either) - other apps don't need to have something in the bar to be available on the drop down.
Will try this one out.
Currently using Calendar in Status bar Trial which I have set to launch Organized Drawer - but at least the icon is functional (showing the day & date).
Also - noticed an app called ncut, but crashes on my phone, possible gingerbread problem.
Hello, I haven't find a way to change the status bar toggles (can't remove annoying google plus profile acces?) and to make it appear at first when touching status bar and not having to touch the top bar right icon after , screen is big enough to have toggles displayed always (I would want to make them more lilttle also).
Thanks
Have found If I pull down status bar with two finger it goes direct to toggles, it's better than nothing. To modify toggles could be something with root and not another Rom?
note, that functionality had to wait for roms

Title is pretty self explanatory. I love Immersive/Expanded mode. I use LMT Launcher and LockerPro Lockscreen banner notifications, so don't need to see the status bar often. However, I do find it a little annoying to have to swipe to show the status bar, then swipe again to expand the notification drawer. I have tried a few status bar expander apps, but they just don't work unless I already swipe to show the status bar. I've looked around at various apps and Xposed modules, but haven't found that solution yet. Any ideas?
Hey guys. Quick question, is there a way to remove the status bar permanently, like with the wm overscan trick, but then still be able to swipe down from the top of the screen for the notification shade?
I have mine hidden already, but each time I get a heads up notification the status bar space shows above it, looks ugly. Also when I swipe down it brings up the status bar first and then I have to swipe again to get my notification shade. I'd appreciate any tips. Thanks
