Is there a way to get Immersive Mode on Jelly Bean?
With semi transparent status bar which appers when one swipes down on the top? like in kitkat
Hi, unfortunately, currently there isn't anything exactly like Kitkat's Immersive mode, and transparent status bars, while possible, the process of enabling them on your device is very technical and potentially dangerous for your device.
HOWEVER. I can tell you that there is a way to get something similar to Immersive Mode. I'll guide you through it.
First off, you need root. I can't explain this because the rooting process is different for each device, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
Now, you'll need to download Xposed Installer. Just search for that on Google and you should find it no problem. Download and install the apk. Open the app, and allow superuser access. Now, tap Framework, and tap on Install/Update. This will install the Xposed Framework, which is needed for this process. Reboot your device by tapping Soft Reboot, Reboot, or just turn your device off and then turn it back on.
Next, open Xposed and tap on Download. This will list all kinds of things called Modules, which do fancy things to your device. Look through and find Gravitybox [JB] and tap on it. Download it by scrolling down, and when asked to install, do so. Now, back out to the welcome screen, and tap on modules. Gravity box should be listed, but if it isn't just wait for a minute or two, and it should appear. Tap on the check box to the left of the icon, and reboot your device like you did before.
Provided everything has gone OK, you're in the home stretch. Open Gravitybox from the app drawer, and if asked for superuser permission, say yes. You'll see a list of a lot of things, but you want to tap on Display Tweaks. At the top of the list is a setting for Expanded Desktop Mode. Tap on it and select hide both, and you're done!
Now, whenever you want to hide the status bar and navigation bar (That's the top bar and bottom bar), just hold the power button to open your power options, and select the option to enable Expanded Desktop Mode! When you want to switch back, just repeat those steps!
Let me know if you need any more help!
All the best,

I think you'll need to upgrade to Kitkat
Hi guys...
Is there any module or app who would allow me to expand the notification panel by sliding down from the middle of the screen? Sometimes it's difficult to reach the top of the screen mostly when I'm typing with one hand.
I know some of you would say to me to install a custom launcher. But I'm actually using a custom launcher that does not support this feature by itself. And despite of it I like this launcher very much... Not willing to change that.
So I want to be able to bypass my launchers "lack of gesture" support... If there is any way that any of you guys know I would be glad if you share. Thanks

Hmm. I don't know of any such "app" or module for this, but this can fix your problems:
Install GravityBox (KK) > Reboot > Set a custom key in the navigation bar > Set it's function to open Notifications Panel.
This doesn't let you "swipe down" from the screen, but atleast you can get to the notifications without having to reach out to the top.

n00b forum poster here...............you've been warned
I tried searching the boards but didn't see anything yet so I thought I'd ask here. Is there a way to make that annoying "gear 2 connected" icon in the left corner of the status bar disappear without removing the full notification from the dropdown notification tray? I'm currently running a rooted VZW S4 on NC5. I've already tried the Xposed module NotifyClean but that removed the dropdown as well. and I kno that going in to App Info and unchecking "Show Notifications" will do the same thing.
There is an xposed module called "disable gear manager notification" and it works flawlessly.
Hi,
i am using Tasker to show some notifications. The notfication uses the Holo Light Icon Pack provided by Crafty Apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.ipack.holdlightmd
After playing with the new notification feature in Lollipop i disabled the notifications for this Icon Pack (long press on notification
and pressing the little bell) and i am no longer receiving these notifications (stupid me ... thought i can reactivate them easily)
I wanted to re enable this notifications but the Icon Pack is not shown in the list of apps which can be managed with
the build in notification center (Sound and Notification).
Is there any way to re enable the notification for this package by manipulating a file or database.
Thanks everyone
After testing a little bit i got a workaround for my problem.
I can change the Title of the notification in Tasker. After this the notification appears again.
Workaround ....
Edit: Nope, i dont know why the notification appeared for a moment. But it is gone again...
Problem solved
Ok. After searching another hour i found the right keyword combination to find the answer to my problem.
It was a Layer 8 Problem. I just applied a notification filter .....
If someone else is stupid enough and does not know what he is doing:
Here is the link: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ell-on-notification-meaning-in-cm12s-lollipop
Problem solved.
Awesome! ?
Thanks, thread closed.
Hello XDA. I have been running the cm12 nightlies and it has been amazing. I just have one problem. That problem is that when using trusted location with smart lock, touching the lock icon does nothing, whereas it used to lock the device until I entered my pin code. I am bootloader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.8.5.1. I also have xposed 3.0 alpha 2 and the following modules:
Always expandable notifications
Chromepie
DisableFlagSecure
Gravitybox [LP]
Greenify
Heads Up Hide
Lolistat
Native Clip Board
Network Speed Indicator
PlayPermissionsExposed
Screenshot Delay Remover
Text Xposed
Tinted Recent Planels
True Silent Mode
XInstaller
Xposed GEL Settings
YouTube Background Playback
Sorry for the long list. Just wanted to get it all out there. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
