Hi,
How can I set it so that the notification bar at the top is airways visible? I see it when I am using an app, but when I am on the desktop, it auto hides. I don't want this.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Looking for a theme (or setting) that allows you to pull down your status bar while it is hidden. I currently have my status bar hidden, but I must open up an app in order to pull it down.
I couldn't find a thread for this idea. I apologize if I am doubling up on threads if one exists. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
Launcher Pro (and I believe a few other homescreen apps) allow you to assign a button to show the status bar (or notification panel). I have it set so that the home button shows my notifications.
Best of luck!
ADW can set this on swipe up/swipe down so that you would swipe down just as if the Status Bar was there even though it isn't.
Thanks for the responses. I've tried both and now have to decide which one I like more. haha
Anyone know how to hide the notification bar? When I'm using apps I don't want to see the notification/status bar, as I want to utilize the full screen.
So no way to accomplish this?

I am a "noob", but my experience with the TF is that the notification bar is not part of the viewing screen. I could be way off base here.
Using the Gallery app the notification bar remains, but the icons are dimmed (small dots), touching the area and they appear. . Using Moboplayer the notification bar icons remain bright.
Give it a try and you'll see what I mean
i like to too. i hate that frikken white they used for the nav buttons. stock would have been better. the white is so damn annoying when reading or watching movies (i use mobo so it doesn't hide).
i have tried modaco's rom but since it's the ww version some apps don't show up.
Does anyone know of a way I could use the notification bar as my lockscreen? I have seen in the forums ways to change the behavior of the dropdown notification bar. I actually want to use it AS my lockscreen. Is there an app or ROM that allows this? Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I use an app called Display Brightness which allows me to toggle the brightness instantly with an overlay bar in the notification bar. I just installed it onto my S8+ and it doesn't appear within that notification bar, it displays it just under it which kind of ruins any apps that require text input at the top (which seems to be a lot).
Is there any reason for this? Or is there any alternative app which allows instantly display toggle from the notification bar?
Thanks

Look at screenshots attached.
This is what i use
One app is called Lux Dash (Play Store)
Other snapshot is an app Shortcutter ((Play Store)
It might give you some idea what to do.
The built-in brightness bar can even be shown just above the notification bar, without having to expand the quick settings panel.
And apparently in the future Android O the TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be deprecated and apps overlaying the status bar will no longer work.

Hmm that's disappointing that they are going to make this feature obsolete, this app has been by far the most useful ever, oddly, when I restart the S8, the brightness toggle overlay does appear in the notification bar but then after a few minutes, it appears further down again as shown in the screen shot.
This screen shot shows the S7 toggle bar working perfectly
This screen shot shows the S8 working less perfectly lol
I understand the default one can show at the top of the notifications bar but that requires the drawer being pulled down doesn't it? This app allows toggle immediately from the top of the phone on any app etc without any further touch
Hey guys. Quick question, is there a way to remove the status bar permanently, like with the wm overscan trick, but then still be able to swipe down from the top of the screen for the notification shade?
I have mine hidden already, but each time I get a heads up notification the status bar space shows above it, looks ugly. Also when I swipe down it brings up the status bar first and then I have to swipe again to get my notification shade. I'd appreciate any tips. Thanks
