[Q] just had this thought. When you're on a call, the status bar glows green and dark. My question I guess is how hard do you guys think it would be to copy that over into the static, normal status bar. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it but nothing in my search and all my time on xda never saw this question. Being that I don't believe Im that original it's probably difficult enough for it not to have been done by now but had to ask. Maybe not the best for battery but how cool? I'd sure spare some amperage ^_^

status
I really hate the white status bar and would be willing to pay someone to change it to black as long as it would not effect future updates or cause any problems. Of course the icon colors would also have to be changed so it's not that simple a task.
If icons you mean battery and h+bars that'd be the easy part for me. Though I know you're trying to keep stock and over 100, 175 ^_^ I don't mind if if it takes edits to frame that nearly bricks. Just wanted to put it out to see if anyone has tried and thoughts. Thanks for reply! =D

Changing the color of the status bar is relatively easy you just have to edit the .png files in the framework-res.apk. That is how themes are done. I also think there is a simple black status bar mod in the themes section, but I am to lazy to find it specifically. However these changes do require a deodexed system which does not allow you to update, but it is not that difficult to flash back to stock using an sbf and then update.
So, imagine this:
You're deep into an application, using it, whatever it might be...say, an email app for example. While reading your email you and a peer are discussing a particular topic...say a fantasy football trade. You are wanting to trade Chad OchoCinco for Donavon McNabb with a fellow player in your league. So you begin to reply, but suddenly you have an ADHD moment. You say to yourself, "I believe I remember ESPN tweeting about McNabb earlier today on how they think he might not play next weeks game. I should check quick." So you hit the home button on your phone, then open up your Twitter app to see what @ESPN said. They report McNabb is injured and will not play next weeks game. So then you open up your browser to see the headlines on ESPN to see whether or not there is a player worth trading for OchoCinco. After about 5 minutes, you return back to your email app to finish the email only to find your phones cache had filled and restarts the app completely and you have lost what you were in the middle of writing.
The solution:
What if we created a new type of notification bar? What if, while not just including power controls and message notifications, we could be relayed even more info? What I'm imaging is this: What if there was a way to include RSS feeds such as Tweets, Facebook notifications, and news headlines into the status bar? That way when you drag it down you can either drag down further, or left and right to access said feeds with the notification bar?
Please include your thoughts and discussions in this feed!
Reminds me of the Samsung Continuum bottom screen.

Great idea! But sadly, the big Steve will put it in the his next iyo-es.
Nvm, we'll cook it ourselves. Plus, our original notification bar has a lot of rooms for improvement. It's nice to have a tweet bar in it, or check in button, with side-scrollable rss. We should make use all the pixel available, minimize the power menu, stack same notification into one category, and if we can, customize all the notification to our hearts content. Push notifications should be doubled their size, and can show on top of any application. It will slide in for a brief moment and then fades away.

Sliding in and then fading away, eh? That sounds kinda like webOS notifications.

Well, sort of. But, being said before, I prefer the iOS5 notification concept. But I'm sure it will require integration with all the apps. Sound pretty much as the rumoured ice-cream sandwich, but nothing is confirmed yet. At least now we can focus on optimizing the current notification bar.

and what devices could you make this for??

Theoretically, any device running whatever version of Android it's programmed in. What would be nice if Cyanogenmod could it include it alongside their work. *nudge nudge, wink wink*
This would be multitasking in every sense of the word. Nice concept and I hope devs can figure this out.

In a way to save pixels for more places, the notification need not take a whole row but instead just TILES. Imagine when they are put into tiles, we could have 3-4 taking one row, taking much less spaces.
Then we can have multiple tabs as well (like the Sense 2.1 or MIUI GB) where we can put WIDGETS into it, apart from giving us power control toggles and recent apps.
Only issue is, it could be too tedious for single core processor.
I'm thinking an universal MIUI notification bar????
Thread cleaned!

I'm looking to create another app and wanted to see if there are any ideas out there in XDA-land. My existing app is listed below in my sig. Preferably not a niche application and would rather come up with something that could gain pretty high visibility.
Ideas?
There's an entire forum dedicated to app requests on androidforums.com . You may want to check there.
Oh slick thanks! I'll check that out.
you can try this
App that shows data transfer rate(WIFI,Mobile data) on the notification bar
here are some apps for eg--
DU meter but its in the notification panel...i need one in the notification bar
and there was another app called network meter and lots of other...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oidMeter&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...c3BlZWQucHQiXQ..
but none of them have it on the notification bar....
this one fits my need...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ZHNlcnZpY2UiXQ..
but isnt refreshed in real time
and slows the phone and battery life

The problem is android doesn't actually support dynamic notification icons. So to change the number of a data rate to be real time you essentially have to re submit the notification over and over which would kill your battery.

clipboard sync
I have been searching for one app from very long time now.. My idea for a app is clipboard sync.. Its like the clipboard of my pc and mobile is shared.. either through internet/wifi.. or some notepad kind of thing.. when i copy and paste it on that window it should appear on the same type of window in my phone too.. Online sync.. then we can have option like whether we want to save them or something.. It will help most of the time as we need to copy some address/note from my pc to my mobile to send it as a message may be.. There are some apps on that regard.. evernote is too big with all those crap features which most of people do not use.. I could have done this but sadly i am not a developer .. point me to some app if its already there and i couldnt find it.. And if any developer came across this post please let me know if you are interested to make this app..
Hey! I always hate that when I'm running a timer or stopwatch there's no easy way to tell how much time you have left without returning to the app. Thought a cool feature would be to have a small notification on the status bar, always visible like the clock, that you could quickly glance at to check how its going.
My knowledge of Android development is pretty limited, wondering if anyone knows whether this would be possible?

Hi, I think this is the right forum, if not feel free to let me know which to post to but in the mean time I have a question.
I am looking for a App or Root tweak/mod/module/whatever that allows me to create collapsible/customizable notification categories for the notification panel on my Rooted Android 13, Pixel 7 Pro. Basically I want to have my "background/constant" notifications in a separate or collapsible area so that it doesn't clutter up the rest of the notification panel.
if you guys know something that can do this let me know, please and thank you.
