Remove recent apps from notification pulldown - Thunderbolt General

Hello all,
Big thanks to everyone involved in root/s-off.
With root is there any way to remove the 'recent apps' from the notification pulldown?
TIA All

I would also like to see a patch of some kind that replaces the recent apps with a on off bar..

+1 that recent app bar is so annoying

+2, add power widget options in instead!

Definitely needed!
I will never understand why they put the Recent Apps there when you can get to them by long pressing the home button.
There is a workaround until someone does this, not the best solution but it works.
In the market there is an app called Power Control Plus (it is a paid app) that will put the toggles in your notification area but it doesn't replace the Recent apps.

yeah, the toggles in the pull down are one of the few things I miss from the Fascinate I have. Another being the convenience of being able to drag left or right on the notification bar to quickly change the screen brightness.

I'm working on Rosie and Framework mods right now and this is on my list. I removed the recent apps from notification on a custom Hero ROM and will do it to the Tbolt. As far as adding the switches, that's a whole other story. We would have to port JsChiSurf's Evo work and I think I'll just wait until someone ports a Gingerbread Sense ROM, which has the switches in a tab.

Does it actually have to be ported or could you just rip the required framework elements from an evo rom and copy them to your tbolt framework?

I imagine the dependencies are different, so things wouldn't match up properly.

Question here: I too find the recent apps feature useless and liked the pullldown toolbar in Slayer's mods.(my personal favorite) I assume a mod like this could be ported or created?

Just getting rid of the Recent Apps would be an improvement until someone gets this done.
Another thing you might do if you can figure it out, one of the Z roms for the inc had the Verizon Wireless banner made about half the size it is now. It looked better and took up far less space.
Even better if you could remove the banner entirely, I think we all know we are on Verizon!
Here is a screen cap with "Power Control Plus" It's a paid app but usable, now if we could at least get rid of the recent apps.

I tried widgetsoid but I didn't like the fact that when you click on any of the toggles it dissapears. If I want to cycle through a toggle (for instance "Brightness") you have to bring the notifications down again.
Maybe a setting I was missing but that's how it worked for me.

Yep I would be happy with the recent apps removed and using widgetsoid or something for toggles.
Thanks everyone.

Best . Forum. Ever.

I used Widgetsoid on my DX. Easily one of my favorite apps. However, now on my TB, my Widgetsoid widget in the pulldown is blank! I can't see the buttons. But if I press, it shows up, until I unpress. Any thoughts?

Recent apps gone, along with some other mods here. Now on to JsChiSurf's power control mod and Lockscreen mods.

remove clock from notification bar-how do i?

been trying to figure this out. i really want to remove the clock from the notification bar on top--i hate seeing to clocks on my phone. i don't need to see the clock ever on the notifcation bar.
any way to remove it? i don't want to theme my whole phone, just the clock.
i've been searching at came up with nothing. thank in advance!
guess its not possible huh.
Been waiting on this one myself... I really see no purpose of having 2 clocks on the homescreen. I really DONT need it there at all.
I wouldn't mind reclaiming that chunk off notification bar space myself.
Posted by my rooted EVO 4G
closest option would be to use Launcher Pro, it can hide the notification bar altogether on the home screens.. this will eliminate having to see two clocks on the home screen and you can still tap menu to peak at the notification bar when needed
this was done on the hero and i do not see why it cannot be done on the evo as well? id also like a vanilla lockscreen with no text. hopefully a dev can sort this out.
It can be done, just no one has done it. I removed the battery icon from my taskbar because I use vader's battery droid widget. I also removed the GPS disabled icon because I see no point in showing an icon for something that is off. I'll poke around and see if I can find the damn clock.

I'm not deleting my clock because if I'm not on the home screen, then the status bar clock is the only clock on the screen.
The new CM6 nightly rom has an option to remove the clock from the taskbar

Delete the battery pngs in framework-res.apk
Does it remove the battery and push the icons over into the empty space? or does it just stays blank?

Unfortunately simply removing the battery pngs only removes the battery icon, it doesn't shift the icons over Anyone know how to completely remove it from the task bar? (and no I don't want an entire custom ROM for this) I suppose while we're at it remove the clock as well from the otification bar as several people would like that as well.
Anyone figure this out yet??
As someone above posted, the CM nightly will do as you ask.

I even did a full uninstall with titanium and it still gives me a fail when I try to install. Oh well I got tired of trying.
Hey, does anyone know what the "do not disturb" mode actually does? I still seem to get notifications from Google Voice about texts I get. Does it only block the calls?
Edit: It also appears the linked Google Voice isn't the latest version. Do you happen to have a link to the original source so I can request one?
I'll dig up the link and repost later this evening when I get home. Also, it turns out credit should have gone to XSoldier2000 who did the theming utilizing some of Benny879's resources.
That said, here is the latest version 0.4.1.26. I didn't realize I had both versions on my comuter and, therefore, posted the older one. I change all of my icons and it can be a pain in the @$$ to keep my folders of apps maintained.

Custom ROM with fully ROOTED rights

Hi everyone,
I came from Galaxy 3 and used SGS also and they both are good phones but not water proof So I change it to Defy but I miss some features which I got in SG3.
So I am mentioning some things which, if possible can be modded than the Defy Super Rocks.
First I badly need to have a clean build .sbf so that we can easily direct flash it through RSD
ROM with fully ROOTED rights. (because its very annoying to root using SuperOneClick)
Icons in notification are like I did in my Samsung Galaxy 3 or Galaxy S, as its really very handy to On/OFF the GPS, Blutooth and other.
1% battery icon. (not in my SG3 but want it in Defy)
Clean ROM only with these STOCK applications please
[STOCK] contacts, message, Music Player, Time, Gallery, Camera Camcoder, alarm & timer, Dialer, google search, Manage Sim Card, Market, Youtube, Phone portal.
​ [Add on] Super User, Defy Recovery, Root explorer, Skyfire Browser, Barcode scanner, SetCPU
​
With Zeam Launcher because its free and fast too.
Its really very useful if any of you people make this ROM.

Are the switchers in the pull down menu a feature of Zeam or some app we could use with other launchers?
They are Samsung framework related stuff. CM7 does it too.
Chances are Samsung releases a water resistant phone before this is ported to Defy.
Ha ha haaaa
Widgetsoid should be able to do what you want with the switches in the notification area.
And, for the battery, you can use the following:
Circle Battery Widget
DefyBatt
MotoCharge

I love this feature on Samsung phones. Sure Widgetsoid does the trick pretty well, but this is even more comfortable and frees up some more space in your homescreens. I haven't found anything that is capable of it so far though.

I'd really love this as well, it's the main thing I miss from CM while I am using official ICS.
Widgetsoid or extended controls gives you pretty much the same functionality, available on stock ROM (as long as you're on ICS).
Use the search mod?

Correct, you can do this with Elixir2. Launch Elixir2 then hit Status Bar and everything is in there. App launcher, battery temp, CPU load, etc.
Bump.
I'm looking for a power control widget too.
The only two things i really nead are:
1. A working mobile data switch
2. A working GPS switch (which directly turns on and off GPS, without redirecting to the settings page)
Buttons in the scroll-down notification menu would be nice too (but not necessary), even better if they'd work without showing the pop-up widget bar.
I've used widgetsoid for a while but the gps toggle doesn't seem to work (anymore? lol, i can't remember whether it has worked before or not)

Pretty sure there is nothing out there that does this nicely. You could probably get everything working perfectly, aside from gps toggling. Custom ROMs of course have this ability (and more), but you are probably better off just keeping the GPS on all the time.
It is not powered unless an application requests for it, and when it does you can see the symbol in the status bar. It is certainly not a risk of battery drain so long as you don't use maps or something for prolonged periods while indoors or something.

Try notification toggle, it needs to be installed as a system app to directly toggle GPS though(same with all apps)

[APP] RAZR M Launcher and Circle Widget

Many of you having been asking me to post some flashable zips of the RAZR M launcher I modded for CSROM.
Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and did it (sorry for the delay!).
The launcher is from a different device (Motorola RAZR M) and different Android version (ICS), so there is a little lag.
But that is a small price to pay for the awesome circle widget!
There are currently two versions available: with and without the persistent search bar.
While I was able to remove the search bar, I have not yet been able to recover the real estate.
Six other apps are installed which are required to make the circle widget fully functional.

It might not work then. Motorola did an excellent job of locking down this widget. I am not aware of anyone getting it to work on anything other than a Motorola launcher (I gave up). I guess that applies to the lockscreen too.
the widget has a clean look
