Make notification bar wider? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, is there a way to make the notification pull down bar wider. It seems pretty dumb to have all that screen but only have a little part of it be used for the bar. Personally It bothers me but its my brothers tablet

You can switch to Phone UI (don't ask me i only know stuff about CM) but why? Thats the "style" of the bar. It looks nice IMO.

Thanks. I will have him try that when I get home.

Any way to disable notification bar clock?

Like the title says, is there any way through a theme, uot kitchen or rom that allows the clock in the top right to be disabled?
I don't like the redundant look of a clock widget ala minimalist text and having a clock in the top right corner as well.

Hmm, if I recall the Bionix Inifinity ROM had the clock disabled. You might wanna contact the dev of that ROM for some help.
Edit: here's the thread....

With launcher pro, I just found you can disable the whole notification bar when on home screen if that also helps anybody who wants to achieve this goal

Yeah but im just looking to disable the clock as the rest of the bar is useful but the clock is redundant with the widgets I use

New Home Launcher

I just found this launcher and wanted to share it. It's awesome. Had features I haven't seen on other launchers. You can pull the SMS and phone icons up and view your latest calls and texts straight on your home screen in a pull up drawer. Check it out

I've found it very impressive, smooth and fast. I'm currently using it on my pay with miui. it's good for showing off the phone

Not really my taste, but it has a LOT of potential though! I wish the developers luck!
If you could change the dock icons it would be awesome

Black bar

No matter what launcher I'm running I keep getting this black bar on the Right side of my note. It goes away when I change wallpaper but then comes back. Anyone know why?

Could be its linked to the fact that you have the s-pen out. Replace the s-pen and see what happens. Maybe an issue with custom rom (if you have one)?

On screen buttons

Hey guys
Is it possible to make the on screen buttons transparent while web browsing or using the Twitter app? I hate how much real estate the buttons take. Any info would be appreciated

does gravity box have the option to make the navigation bar semi-transparent? i dont have it installed but im sure theres an xposed module that will do this.
I just took mine off and ran with lmt for navigation until this happens. I am sure its on the works.

In the works as in a custom Rom?

Try "Auto Hide Soft Keys" in the Play Store. Makes a big difference.
Sweet.. U just made me decide to keep the m8 because of the app!

Transparent Nav and Status Bar

I have Xposed, but can't for the life of me find out how (if possible) to make the nav and status bars transparent. I've looked all over. Found it only on a module meant for Xperia. Does it not exist for us?
Thanks,
Gods

There is one and if you search the nexus 5 Q&A or themes and apps section, you'll find it

The transparent bottom and top are launcher specific. Most of the launchers are going to it now. If that is what you are asking? Otherwise it would look funny for the top and bottom to be transparent when in an app

Thanks for the replies. As I've said I've looked around a lot. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting.
I do mean in-app. I get it in the launcher.
Thanks

Apps have to enable transparency themselves, it is possible, and I think it would be a nice touch for Facebook, etc. Project hera and 4.5/5.0 is coming up so just wait and see what happens.
For now, there is no way to make in app status and navbar transparent.

Nice touch. I wish more apps used translucent decor and transparency. If the status bar changed colors as project Hera says, and navbar stays transparent, that be nice.
