Yea, I agree. I just installed it yesterday. It's really usefull with the overlay menu. Honeycomb should have had something like this out of the box as far as I'm concerned.

great app! after using it it's like thinking this was missing standard functionnality of honeucomb !
just one things, it'd be cool to be able to change the order of icons...

why couldn't this have been posted yesterday...
Looked all over the market- I wish they had better search function..
Wasted $2 on wave launcher.
But this app is what I was looking for. And free

is anyone having an issue of this app not loading up after coming out of sleep. Loads after reboot but not sleep
I have to physically go into app and hit apply for it to turn on after sleep.
Anyone know a fix for this

yeah, changing the order of icons would be great, also if the icons were all at the same size....

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm loving it

Really cool little app which helps give more functionality to honeycomb on the Transformer, thaks for the tip.

Excellent app but it completely slowed down my transformer and it began to stutter. killing the app solved the issue until it was started again. removed it for now. I will write an email to the developer because I see a lot of potential in this app.

needs more work but a really nice start

cool app....I put camera on there haha

nifty app.... but just not as useful as i thought it'd be. all the aps i usually run are in my "recents".... so no added functionality except for when i first start my tab.

"Launch from Notification" does not slow down home screen but it only allows 5 application to launch.
https://market.android.com/details?...launchfromstatusbarfree&feature=search_result

Fantastic App! This is exactly what I've been searching for since I saw the Touchwiz UI.
I also, tried out "Launch from Notifications" and while it gets the job done, it doesn't look as snazzy or have as many slots. (5 vs 8) I'll try both and see which one I like better and how much battery they suck down.
For me the Netflix and Polaris Office apps are larger than the rest of the icons, not sure why. Also, I'd love a GUI was to switch the apps around once added to the list. I understand this is a very early version as it references a paid version that doesn't exist as of this post, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the dev has to offer and would be willing to pay $1.00 for the improvements requested in this thread.

As other said, "A nice start" but...
what would be nice is to be able to run small app that can be on top of other apps. (a notepad, a calculator, etc,)

Very nice app, but slowing down homescreen is a huge letdown... Launch from notification works fine, think I'll stick to it for now.

Yeah, same here. Noticed a big drop in home screen smoothness. I like the concept though. Hopefully the dev can make some performance enhancements.

[Q] Hide System Bar on ICS?

Is there a way to hide the system bar?
maybe something like THIS?

+1
Love this idea

Try the link below for the apk........... i havent tried it on ics yet
was just going to post up as an attachment but its not frickin working on the ics browser
http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/

it is not working for me

me either - sorry guys

From what I understand, Google pretty much locked it out completely, so it's impossible at the moment to hide the status bar. It's really annoying. :/
From the author of Honeybar: "*** Important note for ICS users: Honeybar is unsupported on ICS and will not hide the UI bar. I have examined the source for ActivityManagerService and it currently appears impossible to stop com.android.systemui"

Damn that sucks. I hope Google changes their mind or someone finds a way around this problem. I find it extremely irritating to use video and reading apps with the system bar at the bottom.
I guess I will stick with Android 3.2 for now.

There's a tweak for the Galaxy Nexus that remove the bottom bar entirely, and the person who posted it says to use ButtonSavior (on the market) to replace the soft keys. The newest AOKP rom also includes a feature to remove the navigation bar which I assume is pretty much the same as the bar on tablets.
The mod is over on RootzWiki, not sure if I can post links to it, or if it will work for the TF or could be adapted for it.

See, it's things like this that make me wonder. Why in the world would google, or anyone, lock things down so much that nobody can change anything? Disabling the status bar in honeycomb didn't do any harm. I never heard a single complaint of a bricked tablet or software problem because of disabling the status bar.

Yes!!!
Team EOS has the option the hide the system bar in an easy to use manner.

Where?

Where? Searched for "status" "system" "bar" "hide" in varying combinations as well as individually. Could you point me in the right direction. TIA.

From looking around the framework-res etc what i have seen that ICS is based on a theme called holo. Now if we could modify the framework-res and strip the black and make it transparent it should be able to be done. Decompiling it has been no problem however I am too new at themeing to provide any definite answers to recompile framework-res as i have tried but it just will not register as a proper apk. There is one issue with that however, the holo theme is involved with almost everything to do with the system. Example backgrounds for the menu system and the onscreen keyboard and a pile of other stuff plus the assorted icons would still be present back button home apps button clock and wifi.
All the edits were because my cursor diappeared.

It's part of the ROM. They don't appear to have a separate app to hide the system bar, so we have to use the full rom for now. It works the same way pre-ICS Revolver did.

Couldn't find anything on Team EOS tread about it.

With EOS for TF101 you press the power button to get the menu option to hide the status bar. The menu is shown in baseballfanz's post.

This works perfect on my A500 running ICS 4.0.3 rooted using live wallpaper - no issues whatsoever, thanks for the tip! Also really liked the gestures part of the whole thing as I can make apps launch from anywhere and probably won't even use the status bar much at from now on.

[APP][2.0+] Statusbar enabler in full screen app - Smart Statusbar

This app is developed by the same Dev who makes the popular Android Apps Button Savior, Smart Taskbar, and Everywhere Clipboard.
Smart Statusbar is the first and only statusbar enabler for full screen apps on android devices. No more lose track of time or important info on statusbar when you are reading, playing, or watching movie.
To enable statusbar, just do a simple top down swipe from top of screen. By default, statusbar will shows 5 seconds. You can also adjust the timeout to your preference in settings.
Please note. This app doesn't work on Honeycomb and ICS based Tablets. They are very different from phone version of Android. So no statusbar hidden problem on those tablets. So do not download if you want to use it on ICS or HC tablets.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
FEATURES
☆ Reveal statusbar in full screen apps
☆ Gesture activation
☆ Works on 2.0 and up
☆ Adjustable statusbar enabling duration
☆ Vibration hint

jerryfan2000 thanks for bring another amazing tool for us. This app is simply amazing. wow!
By the way, is it possible to disable statusbar by gesture instead of timeout?

This feature is already in my mind. I will for sure add it.

wow! really, really great app! I'm going to do a review on this for my YouTube channel. My viewers are going to LOVE this!
Great job! awesome settings, easy to use and understand. Great beginning tutorial!
Very very well done simple app.

I thought my setting was too few too simple. Great that you likes the simple setting design.

Hello,
Is that possible to add a mod in order to make all the applications in full screen ?

Great app, I've got a handfull of requests/observations but please don't think I'm complaning at all, the app does exactly what it's supposed to, I've just got a lot of idea's. I second Prockkaii's post about making all apps full screen, I would love to see that added to this. I know in CM7 there's you can make holding menu hide the statusbar but you have to do that for every app and I don't believe it sticks after a reboot. Also a bottom statusbar option would be nice and just so you know when I tried using the bottom statusbar in cyanogen I couldn't bring the statusbar up with the top gesture either. It would also be nice to be pulling the shade down from the gesture instead of swiping once to bring up the statusbar and then a second time to slide down the shade. It would also be nice if the bar would pop up automaticaly on a notification.

In reply the request from IvanNCase and Prockkaii. I indeed had plan to add this feature but i am still trying. It is not easy. So maybe will never make it at all. But I will try my best to introduce this feature.

Request: try to make it use less Ram if you can

Thanks for the feedback.
In fact, my fear is that I'd used my Galaxy s2 for about 6 months, and during this period I'd never activate the rotation and all my applications are showing the status bar.
And now on a white screen, I see that there is a mark of the status bar. On right side, I can even see the mark of the battery.
So that's why I would like to have this feature and not remove the status bar.
But again thanks for you apps.

I think you have a screen issue like me.
I'm currently using the pixel fixer in order to fix that. I'm running it for about 2 or 3h per day, let's see what happens in 2 weeks.

Awesome!
Working like a charm so far! HTC Inspire 4G, LordClockan ICS 4.0.3. Keep up the good work! Exactly what I was looking for.

tried this out on my Galaxy Nexus and it worked perfectly as described. However, there is some lag that it particularly noticeable when scrolling through home screens and the app drawer. Once this lag is fixed/eliminated then this app will be perfect!

Great application.
I wanted something like this on Android since i've tested iOS 5 on one of my friends iPhone 4 that i've been asked to jailbreak.
Thanks. Works great on Desire HD with ICS.

great feature, but there seems to be small lag between swiping and popping up..maybe you can find a way to remove this lag..but i really like it!

[CM9][APP]FloatNote - Simple note-taking app in a floating window for the Galaxy Note

I've been playing around with Mark Wei's splendid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688531StandOut library and thought I'd share one app I've been finding useful.
It's very basic and very beta.
FloatNote v1.0.4b
Edit:
Thought I better provide some info
This app is very simple. It floats on top of other windows and lets you scribble notes or little sketches.
I wrote it for me and my phone so I know it runs okay on a Galaxy Note under cm9.
It's written for the galaxy note stylus so pressure increases pen stroke width and the side button gives you the eraser.
Select ink colour by swiping your stylus along the rainbow thing on the titlebar (the title text shows the selected colour). Click the sidebutton when touching the rainbow to return to black.
It autosaves your note and autoloads it when the app opens again.
Resize the window with the triangle in the bottom right corner.
I'm using the android native API so it may work okay(ish) on other devices. If it does, let me know.
Enjoy...
Nikad
Latest Update:
Version 1.0.9b
Changelog:
Major rewrite - had to do away with Mark's standout library and reimplement some of its functionality.
Hide and restore from the notification bar
Share note with other apps, email, etc
Saves position, size and pen colour.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements in performance/reliability
Important:
This app requires API Level 14 or higher to detect the stylus so you need ICS.
There are known issues running under Touchwiz so stick with a CM9/CM10 variant.
Know to run okay on the Galaxy Note International, I717 and the HTC Flyer.
If anyone runs it on other devices I'd love to know!

No quick launch yet, sorry
If you've ran the app already, you can launch it from your recent apps. But...
Improvements in mind include being able to hide the window and then show it when you click on the notification (I had this on an earlier alpha and just need to add it back in).
Multi-page note: support for more than one page.
Share note (with whatever).
I'm not going to go too heavy on functionality though. The idea was to be simple and uncluttered.

New version on its way. Just going through last testing and tweaking so maybe tonight/tomorrow morning.
Ended up doing a major rewrite just to provide a small amount of additional functionality. But it's all good! It even ended up smaller.
We now have an app that will hide and restore from the notification bar, can share the image with other apps and loads of reliability improvements.
I haven't had a chance yet to run it on other devices or on stock roms so all I can say is it works on the Galaxy Note under CM9.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
If you're on a call, just pull down the status bar and click on the notification. It's a bit of an illusion that it's "hidden". Really the app is shut down and relaunched when you click the restore notification.
By the way, I see you running a stock rom. Does TouchWiz not cause problems with FloatNote?
Thanks again for your interest!

Ok. That makes sense. I can restore it from the notification bar if it is hidden.. only thing the app must be up and running before that..
I do not use Touichwiz when there are great lauchers namely Nova these days.. It has been some time since I went back to TW
I use float to be called in one of the gesture of NOVA which is great. You would do a scrolling option on the screen if possible. That will help me add longer notes rather than extending the window,,
Thanks. :good:

Working great on RocketRom v10!

Xposed - mods and tweaks

I don't know if xposed has come up here before or not, but i just discovered it the other day, myself and it seems like a neat way to modify (probably) any rom, as long as you have root. For example, on my phone, I'm using it to hide my alarm clock icon in the status bar until eight hours before it sounds. On my tf, I'm using it for per app dpi settings on c romx.
So check it out. Just dowload the apk in this thread and follow the directions there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Try the Phab7 module for Xposed. I think it was the "tablet" UI that gives you nav buttons on left and notification panel bootom right.
