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.
And I can figure out why. It's not hidden and was working fine on the stock home screen.
When I go for notifications, the status bar portion stays blank.
Shows for me but do have it set to hidden. Set, restart ADW, then unset it and restart again and see if that shows it.
try swiping up on screen.
That is for the dock bar. The status bar is always supposed to show unless you hide it.

Swiping up can be set to show or hide the statusbar.
Yeah I would try resetting ADW settings, or just look to see if the status bar is set to hidden.
Restarting ADW did nothing. The Sony Home had the same issue. I restarted the phone a couple of times and the bar seems to be working fine now. I switched the Launcherpro to see if I like it more.
This package places the status bar on the bottom, add soft buttons to the status bar and remaps home button to toggle the status bar on and off for applications that don't normally display the status bar.
I would like to thank rookie1 for the buttons on the status bar and Samuelhalff for help moving the status bar to the bottom and the notification button.
Version 4-10-11
Changed home button back to the defaults
Created a separate app for toggling the status bar called Status Bar Toggle. This app will allow you to toggle the status bar by just tapping the app once or by clicking on the notification.
Removed the status bar service feature from Nookie-Froyo Utils. It is in the new app.
Added QuickDesk app.
If you configure QuickDesk app to open with double click, then you can put the new app there to toggle status bar.
Version 4-7-11
Long press home button toggles the status bar
Renamed NookColorUtils to Nookie-Froyo Utils
Long press menu displays search
Added a service to Nookie-Froyo:
This service does not force the status bar to be displayed. To force the status bar to be displayed, long press the Home Button; long press again to turn the feature off. If you are in an application when you do this, the status bar will not be displayed until you exit the application and relaunch it. This service was added to overcome this limitation. When the service is running, a long press of the Home Button will cause the status bar to update by placing an icon on the status bar and sending an Ongoing notification to the notification window. The result is that the status bar will appear without requiring you to exit the application. This icon and notification will also serve as an indicator that the status bar is being forced to be displayed. Long press the Home Button again and the status bar will disappear in applications that do normally have the status bar."
Version 3-31-11
Cleaned up the icons
Change the height of the status bar to 32px
Fixed an issue to make the status bar display properly at 200 Density
NookColorUtils.apk 3-27-11 Version 0.2.0
I added a tab to force or not to force the Status Bar for Runtime
If you already have it installed, uninstall first.
adb install nookcolorutils.apk
I will add this to the next zip release
Version 3-27-11:
I've add the capability to force the status bar or not. Just add the following line to /system/build.prop not force the status bar
Code:
sys.force_status_bar=false
or to force the status bar to always show,
Code:
sys.force_status_bar=true
I will come up with a graphic app to do this in the near future. Until then, you will have to edit /system/build.prop manually.
Version 3-26-11:
Cleaned up the the top bar on the notification window by removing the grap handle
Long pressing home now behaves the same as long pressing the physical button
The buttons on the status bar now gives feedback (Orange glow)
The icons look kind of ugly. Does anyone want to take a crack at making some icon? Wretchedlocket? They need to be 42x28. Two icons per button. One normal and one for pressed (feedback).
Version 3-24-11:
Force status bar to be always present
Got rid of the weird flick up to bring the expanded status bar down
Brought the the buttons closer together.
Changed the order of the icons on the left (Thanks wretchedlocket, you saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what file determined the order of the icons.)
Version 3-23-11:
FC issue for the browser and the dolphin has been fixed! Network location is working again.
Got rid of the ugly buttons
Version 3-22-11:
Moved buttons to the right.
Expand status bar button now toggles.
In the works:
Push up brings the bar down. Needs to be fixed.
Make the status bar black.
Version 3-20-11:
Status Bar moved to the bottom.
Notification Bar expands up and collapses down.
Notification button added to the status bar.
In the works:
Push up brings the bar down. Needs to be fixed.
Make the status bar black.
Version 3-18-11:
Escape, Menu, and Home buttons on the left side of the status bar.
Messages and Icon are center vertically on the status bar.
Notification drop down full screen for all LCD densities.
Flashable version is for the eMMC. I don't have an SDCARD version yet. Look in the zip if you want to manually copy the files. Copy both /system/app and /system/framework.
Version 3-19-11:
Put in working Browser.apk. You will need to tap the address bar quickly then open another page, this wil give you time to set the homepage.

thanks- easy install- works great- Im assuming the FC with the stock browser is a known issue?
Looks fantastic! However my stock browser fc and dolphin crashes when opening google homepage.
I developed a fc on browser as well not related to location as it fc before fully opening

re-edit: thanks for posting the screenshots, looks good.
Great job! Works great, the size is perfect! Thank you.
Great work, but since installing to eemc last night i've had two cases where the touch-screen tap was not recognized (one in Angry Birds, one in TapaTalk), and the only way to cure it was a hard reboot using the power button. I could slide the screens but no taps were recognized on any screen (including the home screen) once it happened.
Never had this with the stock framework - I've turned OC down in case that was the reason.
In retrospect, I wish I had backed-up the existing framework files so that I could easily reinstall the stock framework should I ever decide to....

I've had no problem with Angry Birds, but I don't use TapaTalk. Which kernel are you using?
If it installed correctly - I'm using Daligrin's 2/25 for Froyo - I backed off from the 3/8 version when I was having wifi connect problems. I don't know how to confirm because I always get the same kernel version in settings, regardless of what I try to install:
2.6.29-omap1

Try clearing dalvik-cache and cache from CWR.
Thanks Brian - I've wiped 'em both.
Let's just keep an eye on it. I didn't mean to make a major issue here, after all it might not be related. I'll just call it one of life's little mysteries for now, and I'll holler again if it is a persistent problem.
Thanks again for the great work.
Great work on latest version. Any idea why both stock browser and dolphin both fc when you go to google homepage? Any work around? I can go to the browser address bar to search using google from there.

Good, I was just about to tell you about this thread in the other thread.
Brian, this is excellent! Really.
Awesome going to port to cm7?
Very nice work! Would you consider a version with the buttons on the right side of the status bar? I think its more intuitive for a right handed person to reach for buttons that are on the right side of the screen instead of crossing over the screen with their hand and blocking it.
brianf21, let me know when you get the browser fc fixed. People request this mod in my theme all the time and ask me about the browser FC
I think by the time we get done with all this stuff, we'll have made the Nook the way B&N should have
Great work so far. Good to see more development on this mod

Thanks for this! I have tired the other hacks but never got them to work. No problems at all with this one.
Well, one problem. How do I set another launcher instead f the default one? I tried clearing defaults in "Settings> Applications> Manage applications> All> Launcher" but "Clear defaults" is grayed out.
For now I am just putting my Zeam shortcut on the launcher home screen but I would like to set Zeam as default.
Thanks for this!
I put an app button on the launchbar (DoggCatcher). Every once in a while the icon changes from the DoggCatcher icon to a generic Android icon.
The DoggCatcher icon returns when I get an app update from the Market.
Eventually, it goes back to the generic icon and the process repeats over and over.
The functionality remains the same. It's just that the icon changes.
Does this happen to anyone else with any of your icons on the launchbar?
Does anyone have an idea why or how to prevent it from happening?
Thanks
have you tried with another icons? I had change the icons so often without any problem... (I believe your talking about dock application, right? )
Changed app to see what happens
Yes, I am talking about the dock application at the bottom of every screen. I just changed the app on the launch bar to see what happens.
The Google Music icon that I have on the launch bar never changes to a generic Android icon so you could be right.
It might be the DoggCatcher app.
Thanks
Is DoggCatcher on the SD card? If so, try moving it to internal storage and see what happens.
It is on the SD Card
I'll try moving it. Good suggestion.
Hello everyone,
Today this unknown icon has started appearing, and whenever it does it causes the MyProfiles app to double up in the notification area. I do not know what this is for and never seen it before either. It initially goes away when I reboot my phone but eventually comes back after a little while. Any idea what this is???
Thanks =]

Try clearing cache, if that doesn't work, clear data. This usually fixes most bugs/glitches on apps. OR uninstall the app and reinstall it after a clean reboot.
Do you know what that icon is?
I do not think that icon has anything to do with the MyProfiles app.
I tried clearing cache and data for the MyProfiles app anyway and rebooted but nothing changed.
The icon and problem seems to appear at the end of booting after everything has loaded

No clue what that icon is, sorry.
Try to think about what you enabled or disabled before the icon popped up. The icon probably didn't just pop up by itself, it must have been triggered in some way.
