Android Notification Center Tweaks - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any sites or forums that list add on's and tweaks for the Android Notification Center, or ICS in general? As opposed to searching for one in general, is there anything that is compiled already that I can read through and about the tweaks and add ons?
PS - telling what these CAPTCHA pics say is getting to be ridiculous. I'm beginning to feel like I'm not human.

Would you rather this place be spammed to death?
Anyway, I would also like an answer to this (assuming you mean the status bar where the notifications are displayed). Every so-called replacement status bar (e.g. Super Status Bar) locks up my phone and forces a hot boot (not a full reboot, it's weird).

Lol I don't mind the security...I just can't read the damn letters most of the time and it takes 4 or 5 tries to get them right.
I've tried notification toggles so far and that's not bad. Try that one yet?

Try the UOT kitchen Google it

Numeric Battery?

So, coming from an iPhone, the one thing I really miss is having a numeric battery. I was wondering if I could get the battery percentage on my status bar like I did on my iPhone.
I don't mean apps you download on the android marker that just has a battery notification that keeps displaying the percentage... but an actual mod made for the Samsung Vibrant that shows it next to the actually battery status on the top right of the status bar.
Sorry if I'm missing something huge here. Thanks!
If you check the Vibrant Theme and Apps section, you can find plenty of numerical battery mods.
Here's an example of one:

Thanks a bunch!
Just ran this, and it looks fantastic... much better than that of the iPhone.
The FrankinTwiz ROM has a numeric battery icon. Be careful with the circular battery mod and other mods for the status and notification bars as they clashed for me and caused a startup loop that prevented the phone from finishing the startup.

I will be wary of that. Hopefully this is the only mod I will apply to my status bar... so things should be ok.
With Frankin-Wiz you just have to make sure you flash the correct version to the correct Rom. Been there and boot looped.

Trust me, I started out with this little mod too.. but I couldn't stop myself after that
I'm trying to stay away from flashing ROMs because my Vibrant is hardware locked though.

What I Have... What Do you Want

Until we have kernel access and and or a recovery/bootlader i have started making small mods and themes to my devices , this is one of them... if you would like it let me know... if you would like something else , let me know as well just please do so in an orderly way Meaning make sure no one has requested this ahead of you
Is there a way you can make a Simpsons theme?
Speaking practically, is there a way you can remove the persistent AT&T from the notification bar?
I've also read requests elsewhere for a black notification bar.
Ultimately, I don't know the extent to which you can tweak things, so I'm just going straight for the jugular regarding the things that bother me most.
Thanks for going ahead and sharing this, and putting yourself out there for requests.
I like the green status bar, can/how post that?

I will dbl check but as of now i think att&t has to stay :-( but i can def put together a black notification bar theme
In the other thread about the black bar, the OP was able to remove the ATT. However, during the edits, something happened that now we get FC in settings. OP is trying to fix it, but if you can take a look too to speed things up?

Sweet, i'd really appreciate it.
It maybe a stretch but I ran CM6.1 before this phone and I miss the phone/ringer/messaging/unlock and gesture functions. If you can get one or both going that would be sweet. Also I miss having my lock screen music controls.
Moved to themes and apps as not android development
Its possible to remove the AT&T from the notification bar. Change framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml, and carrier length and padding to zero on line 5.

I agree, how ever shouldn't the rest of these threads just like mine ... or ones titled ROM even though its nothing but a system dump moved as well ? After all with out a recovery, bootloader access, or kernel access, this will be as custom as it come

framework-res.apk doesn't exist in system/framework on the Atrix.
I only see blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk
Digging through the files now.
Need to be redux...to do this right?

I was curious about that, but cannot see it in my framework folder.
I'm using Droid Explorer from my desktop and Super Manager from my phone and I cannot see that one file at all.
EDIT: duh... figured it out.
It was there the whole time. Known file extensions was turned off.

Willing to Pay :)

Ok, I am done pulling my hair out so maybe I can pay someone else to do this for me lol.
I want a Transparent Status Bar exlcluding the Clock / Battery .. All I want is Notificatons on left hand side and Signal/Wifi on the right hand side.
I have been trying to change framework to make it work but however all I can manage to do is either make it completely dissapear or change the color. I thought that I could atleast hide the notifications by making the battery and clock display transparent but when I do that it off centers the wifi/signal bars and just doesn't look right.
I however have not been succesfull at making the Bar itself transparent.
So, to sum it up. I will pay for someone to do this for me or willing to accept any and all pointers on how to accomplish this myself.
Systemui controls expanded status bar and everything except the battery. In systemui goto res/layout/ you can set dip of items to say 0.9999999 to hide it. Also colors.xml in res/values/
Running ICScrewD ROM
So you want a transparent status bar with only notifications and wifi/signal without the clock on the right?
How much $$$?
u in the right forum bro?
@Thegodfather
Yeah, I would think this is the right forum as its a Theme request.
@Ssconceptz
Yes, transparent Notification Bar with just the notifications on the left and Wifi/Signal Icons on the right. No battery Icon or Clock.
@Alucardis
Depends on how greedy you are lol. I don't mind paying for someones work but I am not rich either lol.

Ill look into it but I heard the transparent bar doesnt work on the home screen of TouchWiz so this may be your issue. I am looking to remove the AM/PM as in ICS so I can probably test this too.

The OP's sig says skyrocket, I believe that is what he is referring to. If you figure out the AM/PM thing that'd be awesome! I've been trying but no dice at the moment, it seems the usual files that are changed have been moved...
@ Thegodfather
Sorry bout my signature. I did have the Skyrocket for a few days but took it back due to it being a major annoyance. The new APN's they use for the LTE Data plan is stupid and gave me more data issues then I care to touch on.
Will update as soon as I get out of this reply
@ Ssconceptz
I don't use TWiz currently do to this issue haha. I am using ADWEx because I can totaly hide the Status Bar but I don't care for doing that tbh. I played with Launcher 7 and its statusbar replacement but couldnt get it to work right after pulling things apart so trashed that project. I dug into some MIUI Framework but I can't even start to compare what they changed.
Is there a way to replace the StatusBar.apk from system with a customized version without it breaking somehting else.
Edit: Signature Changed

Shouldn't be hard i'll give it a whirl tonight if I have time and post results.
Maybe take a look at
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7bar
Free version:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7barfree
Just what a quick google search brought up
The problem with WP7 bar is it is just overlay and doesnt actually replace the stock status bar and it actually uses a bit of battery. This is the reason I want the stock status bar modified.

If I were you...I would flash MIUI, then d/l extended mod settings, flash it and you can swich the statusbar layout and it will be transparent....if your sold on having touchwiz i dont think it is going to happen for u. Everytime i tried i could never get it transparent. So im on miui....plenty of great themes too.
@Boobie Watcher
I don't like MIUI. I don't know what it is I end up doing but I always have terrible battery life and it just seems buggy.
I know.there has to.be a way to make it.transparent. just how lol.

Yea, I always seem to have to do a lot of tweaking to get MIUI to my liking as well, but once i do its dope. I'm sure there is a way I just haven't figured it out yet.....When you do make sure you hit me up !
There is this theme writer on the i-9100 side that has made some but every time i flashed to a hellraised criskelo rom it was a no go i got nothin but he might have some answers just a though.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Yeah, I am comparing the i9100 statusbar.apk for the change to the i777 version we have. I am sure I will find it eventually but was hoping someone with some in-depth theming experience would know the answer lol.

[Q] Keep notification / status bar ALWAYS visible?

Hello, is there any possibility to keep the status / notification bar ALWAYS visible (for fullscreen apps for example)
I'm not searching for an app which can make the bar visible if i do a gesture or anything else in a full screen app
just keeping the notification bar always visible is my request
thank you
I'm using I9000 (SGS) with 4.2.2 AOKP

I found this useful for monitoring CPU usage, frequency, temperature, RAM, when overclock benchmarking.
thank you ill definately ceck it out (;

Any way to turn off the wifi arrows?

They are distracting. Looked everywhere, maybe command line?
Nope, not possible on Pie. Hopefully they'll remove them in Android 10..? Btw.thanks Sony, it's their stupid implementation ?
Why to remove it ? It is usefull

Because they are moving other status bar icons back and forth. I find it very disturbing. Arrows should be part of the network icon, current implementation is plain stupid.

Even if there's only one icon, the constant jumping was driving me crazy. I learned to tolerate it, but I would get rid of the arrows in a blink of an eye if that was possible.
Yeah, a bit annoying. On Nokia phones running Pie those arrows are part of the icon, the both wifi and cellular.
I disable the % of battery to save a little space. This helps when the icons are nearly full on the right half.
Or you may adjust the display size like the discussion here:

Hi there,
Got Android 10 Update. But the WiFi indicator is still there (
