Hi there,
I am currently using Widgetsoid for displaying several toggle buttons within my drop-down screen of the status bar. Now (As you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/3eiUSQg.jpeg) there is an invisible icon to the left which I can't delete. I could change it to a battery display, but I don't want that.
I also tried Notification Toggle but sadly with the same results.
So my questions is - is there a similar app w/o an invisible icon? Or do I have to use a custom ROM?
I actually like the Sony loader very much and wouldn't be pleased it I had to change to another just because of this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
How do I remove the Battery Icon and Time from the Status Bar at the top of the GUI.
Removing the status bar completely would be nice. I can hide it with this ROM but it pops up when i press menu.
I can't recall to my memory if i need that bar apart from mounting SD card, where i could probably find a widget. I also could find Miss call widget or sms widget for showing unread messages/calls on the screen. I do not know if there is but I hate having to clear the status bar.
I'm using Cronos Froyo 0.1.5.2 ROM
HTC Hero Orange, Rooted
I hope this ROM is okay. The only issue I have is the camera previews not functioning well and the phone takes longer to Boot up. I havn't tried other ROMS.
Thank you.
It's been awhile since I used it but I believe that ADW Launcher has an option where if you swipe up on the home screen it hides the status bar. Not sure if it will still appear when your in certain apps or not, but you could give it a try?

it seems that he already knows it !
Hi, Yes I know that it can be hidden from the main screen but it pops up when I press menu. Also I am not sure if when the bar is hidding, it is in the memory still? (not actually removed). But I still worry about clearing that status bar (
Ah ok sorry. If you feel comfortable editing apks then there are a few xml files in the framework-res.apk (and possibly other system apks) that reference the status bar (like spacing of icons, what order they appear in etc) that you could modify and see?
hey, thanks. ill look at how to make my own apk. its new to me so ill read about it.
Question for anyone using Extended Controls on the Atrix. I want to be able to place Extended Controls in my notification bar, but to also be able to eliminate having the widget on my Home screen. I find that if I remove the widget, it also no longer shows up when I bring the notification area down and tap on the EC. Anyone know how to do this, or is it necessary to have the widget on the Home screen, in which case, it seems like a waste of time to put it in the Notification Bar.
Thanks.
I'm not sure about EC, but if you use Widgetsoid you can add them to the notification bar and then set the widget that's on the homescreen to invisible, so that it's ONLY in the notification bar...I believe. There's a free widgetsoid, so you could always try that out!

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another work around for not having buttons on the notification bar is if you use
swipePad + mySettings
just swipe on the corners to mySettings and change your settings through there. IMO best way.

Sounds like a novel approach. I'll try that too. Thanks!
Widgetsoid blows because..
if you click on a toggle it is not truly a toggle(in notification area) because it launches another toggle window and you cannot toggle directly from notification area

That's true. I guess it depends on the phone. I'm trying the Swipe Pad + My Settings suggestion and finding that I'm liking those apps a lot. The Swipe Pad seems to add a lot of additional functionality. Thanks.

That's true. If EC does it better while still hiding the home screen widget, then by all means use that! Just offering other ideas in case it doesn't.
May not be what you're looking for/more work than you want to do, but CM7 pre beta2 has notification bar controls built in with a bevy of other new features that make day to day use more convenient. I've been using it as my daily driver since pre beta 1 was posted and love it. Minus the few addressed issues that are being worked on now it's the best rom available IMHO.
Hi all.
I'm trying to the following for months now:
You know that most of the tablets with android 3+ have this large black bar at the bottom. I'm not sure how it is called but I mean this bar where the clock, back and home button and the notification icons are on.
On the middle area of this bar there is always much space depending on the number of notifications on the right.
My idea was to use this space for shortcuts to apps or tasker tasks. Just like in windows the Quick Launch Toolbar on the task bar.
But until now I haven't found any solution.
Here is what I have:
I'm using tasker scenes to build my own shortcut buttons. Then I displayed these buttons as always on top and half transparent directly on the screen in the normal application display area. It seems that tasker is not able to display these buttons over the system bar. So this isn't a complete solution of my problem since the free display space on the bar is still not in use.
On the other hand I do know that it must be possible to program apps which are overlayed on the system bar since other apps can be placed over it.
Anyway...
I'm searching for a clean solution to get shortcuts on the system bar to start apps or tasker tasks with one click or touch.
Please help if you can or just post if you are also like to see such a solution. Maybe an app developer picks up this idea.

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if it was possible to remove the statusbar entirely but retain the notification shade. The notification style is beautiful on lollipop and there's honestly no point of that ugly bar at the top of the screen anymore.
I used expanded desktop before but it requires you to go through multiple swipes before the notification shade opens.
Is it possible to remove the statusbar but keep the "one swipe" notifcation shade funtionality?
One way I thought this could work is to reduce the size of the statusbar to nill or just make it invisible and remove all the icons but I can't seem to find a way to do either of those things however.
Any ideas?
So I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro to the galaxy s23 ultra. It's my first Samsung phone so I'm still getting familiar with the Samsung flavor of Android.
Is there a way to hide/not display an apps persistent notification icon from the status bar? I use a diabetic monitoring app(xdrip+) which has to always be running for obvious reasons. The app produces a graph which is always visible when I pull down the notification bar, I like that peice and want to keep it. However having the icon displayed in the status bar at all times is an eye sore.
On the pixel (and previously my oneplus 7 pro) I could set the notification to "silent" and it would hide the icon but would still display the graph in the notification bar. I can't find a way to mirror that on my galaxy s23. I can disable the persistent notification all together, but then I lose access to the handy graph.
When the notification shade is down and all notifications are visible you tap and hold the notification you want to change and after a moment a few options will appear and you tap settings and it takes you yo settings for that notification

I tried that, and setting it to "silent" didn't do anything sadly. I also tried disabling the notification entirely but that sadly made the graph go away as well.

At the bottom tap notification categories and go through there

Ahhhhh thank you. I fooled around a bit in there before but didn't realize that there were sub options within sub options. Thank you so much for the help, I'm now able to hide the icon.
