I've searched and found a lot of info on modifying the notification bar, but have been unable to find anything that tells me how to make an app that modifies the actual notification window. Does anyone know where I would look for the APIs/code to do this? I'd prefer my app not require rooting to do this, but if that;s the only way, that's OK.
I'd like to do this in Android 4.1/4.2.

Tried searching around, and found the bar mods thread (but it seems to me you need to root to use them, forgive me I'm new to Android), but couldn't answer this question:
Without rooting, is there a way to fix the Touchwiz status bar problem where you still see a gray border around the bar when it's faded (watching a movie, etc.)?
No there is no way to modify stuff like the notification bar without editing a specific file that needs root access to edit.
I would highly suggest rooting though as you can use on of many great themes and custom roms... Well you should know that since you're on this site lol. o
I love the notification toggles... but hate the fact that Samsung forgot to put in any method to customize these!!
So instead, I'd like to use one of many apps in the Market to give me notification toggles (Wigetsoid or Notification Toggle in the Play Store comes to mind). That way I can customize them exactly as I like...
BUT... the original touchwiz will still be there.
Is there a simple method to remove that bar, such as perhaps removing an APK, or editing a non-compiled config file somewhere?
I'm currently rooted using Blazer's ROM (1.6), and I'd rather not suggest for him to remove it from the ROM as I'm sure there are a lot of people perfectly happy with the way it is.
If anyone has an easy method to remove it, please speak up

Rocking T2 on the S3 (V)
Hi guys, I have a question regarding notification center/shade editing.
I'm talking about serious change, so a root would be needed.
I know there are programs, like simplistic framework, that have a flashable zip which you flash through recovery, and they change original system files.
I'm guessing the framework itself.
Simplistic framework has an accompanying app that lets you make changes to different aspects of notification center/shade.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to make something like lockinfo from ios?
I still miss being able to deal with all of my notifications separately (Mark as read, reply, view, leave alone) instead of per app grouped notifications.
Plus all of the additional features that we can have.
Any ideas?
I want to disable the stock notification panel on my s3 mini, 4.1.2 rooted. Instead of it, I'd like to use a 3rd party app, which suits better my needs.
I've read something here on xda about editing the "tw_status_bar_expanded.xml" file within the SystemUI.apk (that thread was discontinued/closed) but I don't now what editor should I use to do this (I've tried two but without success - the error was something like "could not edit a binary file"). Does someone know how to do this? Or there is a simpler method to disable the notification panel?
All the best!
So I have a Vodafone 985n, and cannot find any way to add mobile data to the quick toggles. Phone is rooted. Help!
Depends on how adept you are. First, you would need to have a custom recovery and be comfortable with reinstalling the original firmware if something goes wrong. It's very easy to softbrick when playing around with that kind of mod because it involves modding the system UI.
Easy way is to just add a 3rd party app with a notification widget for quick access to it.
