Does anyone know how to restore the old style JB status and notification bar? i.e. everything in the bottom right corner of the screen
The new style (clock/battery top right, notifications top left) is awkward to use because the trigger area for the bars is so narrow and the Poetic case I have my TF300T in obstructs access, but I can't see a way to go back.
Alternatively are there any ROMs that allow you to adjust the size of the trigger area for the bars? I'm currently running BAKED bb-9 on 4.2
Thanks
Edit: found an option to do this in BAKED after all...

I'm looking for a way to edit my HTC Incredible Notification/Status Bar. I was wondering if there is a way I can make the bar at the top of the screen bigger. I have a case on my phone that I really like and the top of the case stops right as my screen starts. So it is difficult to pull down my notification bar with the case on. I don't necessarily have to resize it if I could move it or maybe get an icon for it, or something.. Any solutions would be appreciated.

I've noticed on most of the roms, the status bar with the notifications and clock is at the bottom with the soft-keys (back, home, apps). I was testing CM10 on my P3113 and the status bar is on the top with the soft-keys on the bottom. Is there a way to change this behavior? I've looked around and cannot figure it out.

Check the q&a forum. I posted a work-around.
I flashed a ROM on to my Galaxy SIII, and everything is great, it is just the icons in the status bar do not look right. They are to far from the edges of the screen, and it is more annoying that I though. I just need to know what file in the ROM holds the data for icon placement in the status bar so I can fix it. Below is a picture of what I am talking about.
PS I hate that battery icon. How can I get the old one back?
People... sometimes I miss all the 4.7 screen for games or reading. Then I thought about an easy way to turn the notification and status bar on and off at my will, not needing to reboot the phone or mess with the build.prop everytime.
My phone is the xt925 and I use ICS 4.0.4 Retail Brazil rooted.
All you need are two programs (they are paid and totally worth the money) + ROOT (rooting is very important for them to work). Of course you can try other programs. I´m not advertising. I´m just giving an idea.
Download 'GMD hide bar' to have control over the notification and status bar at your will. And also download 'Virtual Button Bar' to replace the notification bars.
When I want to read my ebooks or play some games I use these 2 programs and they always work pretty well.
Also, Virtual Button Bar has a really nice function that is: The button controls stay hidden on the position you want of the screen and then, if you just pass your finger in front of the light sensor (don´t even need to touch the screen), they appear.
Its really convenient and awesome!
Hope you enjoy!

I tried GMD Hide Bar on my Maxx HD running JB (4.1.1) but every time it hid the Navigation Bar on the bottom it also hid the Status Bar on the top. I've found several apps that'll hide them both but no app that'd hide the bottom bar and NOT the top bar. I assume that the reason these apps are set up like this is that in tablets running JB the two sets of functions are BOTH in the bottom bar, not in two separate bars. Have you been able to get GMD Hide Bar to hide the Navigation Bar and not the Status Bar?
Hi there. Lovin the N5 so far. Definitely the fastest phone I have ever used (and I've used tons). Trying to move to more gesture based things and looking for a way to hide the status / nav bars so I can just use Pie and swipe down for status bar / notifications. I can use GMD Gesture Controls to hide both, but it reverts back to normal after I lock the screen. Plus the status bar doesn't swipe down easily if at all like that. Anyone else have any ideas or just have to wait till more devs get their N5s to build up the KitKat support for mods?
