So I rooted my Verizon s3 to cm 10.1, and so far I LOVE it! But I want to be able to disable the status bar. The issue I'm having is that I won't be able to see if I have a text message or anything. I've looked everywhere for and answer and haven't been able to find one. Is there a notification like on the stock where it will show me how many messages I have on the icon itself, not just in the status bar? I've looked everywhere in the settings too but can't find anything. Thank you.

Stock launcher does not contain unread counts on icons. Need to use a third party launcher.
Grab Nova launcher and the Telsa unread plugin.

Thanks guys. I just wanted to get rid of my status bar but still know when I receive a message. Should have simplified the question. Sorry.
You could get rid of the status bar for specific apps using Xposed framework and the App Settings module. You could even use Floating Notifications to have notifications in a Halo-esque manner.

Dude that's exactly what I suggested. You could hide the status bar. There is a setting for that in Nova launcher settings. Then using the telsa unread plugin you would get message counts and missed call counts on the icon itself

There is a lot of empty space between the task switcher icon on the left and the clock on the right. Would be a perfect location for shortcuts to running apps etc.
That's a pretty good idea but as far as I know there is no way to do it unless some clever person has worked it out.

samsung has something like that on their SGT 10.1-roms... Maybe its possible to port that?
I don't find it THAT useful though...
there is a .app, something like quicklaunch, I use it with HC but can't remember the name... u should search in the market... but it's only quicklaunch, can't put shortcuts in bar

There was an application called Wizz Bar, you might be able to find it somewhere online. It allows you to press in the open space in the middle and it would open a little box over any application which you could launch from. That might work?
Here it is: Wizz Bar
I will look into Quick Launch, thanks.
It looks like Wizz Bar no longer works on ICS

Also try Elixir. cant remember if you can customise complicated shortcuts, but i know you can add toggle switches as well as quick launch apps

an "E" icon sits on the bottom right http://i.imgur.com/LwzlA.jpg
tapping that pops up a mini toolbar which you can customise with all sorts of toggles and switches.
With the stock launcher (tw launcher) the stock email program icon will overlay the number of new items. This does not happen in go launcher. How do i get the icon to show # of new messages?

I've since tried a few of the other launchers and found that notifications are lacking in them.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get any of the launchers to display notifications the same way as the default launcher? I like seeing the red number on the email icon.
Also is there a way to get the voicemail icon to display the number in any launcher including stock? I hate having to watch the notification bar for an increase in the number (up from 3) indicating that i need to drop the bar to see what additional notifications are available.

Have you tried the Go Notification plugin for Go Launcher. I don't use it, but it sounds like what you are looking for.
I hadnt. I'll have to give it a try as I did like go launcher a lot

The go launcher notification plug-in is what i'm lookin for except that it needs notifications for email, phone calls, voice mail... So disapointing.

Anybody know of a good mod or app to get the nice smooth jellybean lock screen on a touchwiz rom? I love the halo also really like jellybean notification pull down with email and text previews, but I gave horrible reception on those rom. Just looking if anybody has any ideas to help me pass the time.

Holo Locker works quite well, even allows you to pull down the notification bar while the phone's locked. I use it in conjunction with Nova Launcher Prime to achieve an AOSP look.

plus, it doesn't really replace the lockscreen
I was wondering if I should be getting Google Now notifications in both my status bar and in the notification drawer? Right now I only see them in the drawer.
You mean, if you have an app open and your status bar is closed, are you supposed to see anything from Google Now there as well? It's normal behavior that you only see Google Now notifications once you open the notification drawer.

Ok, I thought that might be true, but wanted to verify.
Hello
Is there a way we can get the status bar to hide automatically, and then swipe from the top when it's needed?
Similar to the app: smart status bar.
But, instead of the killing the system ui, can we just get the status bar as an overlay over the screen that will disappear soon? And then we swipe and it overlays?
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where to request this.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
Similar, but that doesn't do what I'm asking.
I was planning on having the status bar with the description above, and then GMD gestures.
