Apps in notification bar - HTC Inspire 4G

When you pull down the notification bar, it shows all the apps that were opened previously. Is this harming the speed of the phone? Are the apps open in the backgroud? If so, how to you close them?

Don't worry about it. Also, apps don't have to be open to be in the recently used list.

I was wondering about this useless feature too. Any way we can replace it with wifi/gps/rotation/etc. toggle switches?

I use widgetsoid for some awesome toggle widgets, but having the basic toggles (or nothing) in the notifications bar would be better IMO.

As another poster stated, this is in CM7 as well as Bionix but if you want to use it on stock you've got quite an uphill battle ahead of you.

Basically no. If you don't want to use a custom rom, then the next best bet is to use quick settings
h**ps://market.android.com/details?id=com.bwx.bequick
or "MySettings"
h**ps://market.android.com/details?id=jqsoft.apps.mysettings
Then on both add the notification bar shortcut, but hide the icon.

this is my solution
[APP] Widgetsoid2.x
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
it works perfectly!
See I don't like Widgetsoid, because it leaves an icon in the notification bar (or at least it did last time I tried it!) but it is a lot more powerful than either of my suggestions in terms of customisation. I used to use it though, just because I could have a bunch of other custom widgets as well but I found I wasn't using them, and preferred power control in whatever app I was using.
Anyway, let us know what you choose to use!

Is there a stock launcher without the search bar?

I have used the Nova Launcher that has an option to remove the quick search bar and it doesn't leave any unused space like cm9 does! It actually gives me more space for more apps or a 4X1 widget..
I can't believe Google forced this stupid search bar on us even though we already have a search button that eliminates its purpose..
Anyway is there a way to get the STOCK launcher just without the search bar?
Thanks!
The search bar in the newer Nova Launchers is implentented as a widget, so if you deactivate it and delete the search bar you have your unused space free for widgets or shortcuts.

You can disable the search bar on stock launcher
go to manage apps
in ALL apps, find and select Google search
There is an option to disable
However after it is disabled, the space can't be used for placing shortcuts or widgets like what you said. I am still looking for a way to eliminate the restirction.
I don't c what the big deal is with that search bar...I doesn't bother me..even on GB that lil bit of space was unusable anyway...and its not like it looks bad or anything..atleast that's my opinion..

In CyanogenMods ICS-launcher there is also a option to disable the search-bar. Just google for Trebuchet.apk or extract it from a cm9 rom like me. Im using it with stock ICS, and it works just lika a stock launcher, just with the cm9 preferences
Edit: sorry, probably not what you're looking for..

Well...you do you see a deticated search button on the GN?
Google made it for the GN. Also....,he search button is lovely....it gibes it a nice google Android feel. Why take it out. The home screen is still 4*4 so what's your problem?
Here is how it goes....
If you don't like the search bar you don't like Android.
If you don't like Android you don't like google.
If you don't like google...you don't common sense.
If you don't have common sense...you don't have a brain.
If you don't have a brain you like the iphone....
If you like iPhone you must be mental.
If you are mental..you will kill Obama.
If you kill Obama people will blame china and Russia.
If that happens ww3 will start.
If ww3 starts your we will all die from an atomic bomb....
In short... either love the search bar....or gtfo of androids life.
PS. I know Android is open source and is meant for people to change it...but still....don't hate on the search bar

So... How to disable the search bar. There is a simple solution. Go to settings, app settings, all apps, look for google search. Disable it. Ta damm, your search bar vanished. There is a thing though... If you do this, the capacitive search button also won't work in launcher. But long press (voice recognition, SMS, screen rotation or whatever you set there) will keep working. Of course u can reenable google search again, and everything is restored.

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.
Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time
If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....
install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.
You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

A way to remove quick toggles?

i searched and didnt find an answer how to remove the quick toggles from
the notification toggles and left it empty.
im not talking about installing 3th app like "good lock"
The s7 is very popular, so how come there is no mod like that.
maybe someone can extract the systemUI remove it.
Why would anyone want to?

Notification/Status Bar in Android 6

Is there a way to disable the annoying "feature" of transparent status bar? I've been searching for days and am only finding Xposed modules recommended or status bar replacement apps but I just want to disable the transparency, nothing else. Is there a way to do in Android V6 (Marshmallow) on Samsung Touchwiz?

No
it s default on android 6.0 system UI so you have use a 3rd party tool or app to disable it.
like nova launcher > setting > looks & feel > disable transparent notification bar
there is no setting in Android System itself

Is there any other app you are aware of instead of a full-blown launcher? Something simpler?

Got it. Did that, thanks man. Is there a way to disable the "expansion" of notifications by default? After I rooted, all notifications are showing expanded. It used to take a two-finger swipe down to expand each but now they just all show up like that by default. And I'm not even able to collapse them. They start collapsing when I do two-finger swipe up but go back to their expanded mode when let go.

No.
technically when there is expanded option for a notification so user may need to do something! >> it s useful
to collapse it two-finger swipe up should work just make sure put two finger correctly!

The two finger swipe looks like it's gonna happen with the notification starting to collapse as expected but then expands back when the fingers are released. It will not stay collapsed. And they are ALL expanded by default, even a silly screenshot notification and other notifications that didn't used to be expanded before I rooted but are now.
