[Q] google search bar removal or customizing? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Is there a way to remove the ugly Google search bar while keeping the mic icon for "OK Google". Or even if the bar could be hidden till needed. I disabled it on cm4.4.2 but it also shuts down "launcher".

I have not found a way to do this either. It seems even the optional launcher in CM11 removes ok google. Nova wont play nicely with it either. If anyone has a way to do this without a 3rd party app I would love to hear it.

[Q] Persisten search bar - No 'ok google' reaction

I enabled the persistent search bar on Themer, but it does not respond to 'ok google' like the stock launcher.
Is this a known limitation?
A workaround is to add a widget for Voice Search, but it'd be nice if it wasn't needed.

Unfortunately this is a restriction set by Google (which is why they have the only launcher that supports it). Once they lift the restriction it will be included in Themer

[Help] how do you guys always show status bar?

in some apps the status bar autohide , like music player and settings , same for my tab 4 7.0 .
Unfortunately this is a "feature" of kitkat and above called immersion mode. Good app designers will give users a choice on if they want it enabled and bad ones will not. You can still swipe down from the top of the screen to show the notification bar (status bar) briefly but it will cover part of the app in the process since it is not really part of the screen anymore.

How to "hide" the top left icons without silencing the app?

I have an IPcam App called SYSD that keeps 2 annoying icons on the top left of my LG G2 phone, I dont like them at all.
But I need the app to be always on, because it is very important as it should always work, it rings when a motion is detected.
Is there a way to hide these icons without causing an interference in the running app?
Any help? Problem with no solution?
Nothing ?
At all?
You can use something like AOSP Status Bar, but you'll need to root your phone I believe. Any mod that allows you to disable persistent notifications is what you're looking for. There are various options and they're usually specific to your phone model, but that's what you're looking for.

Notification bar

Hi, when using a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova, there is no notification bar. Does anyone know how I can get notifications? I tried Swipe Status Bar but it doesn't work. Thanks

There is no constant notification bar like on a phone (always at the top) but you can change the settings to have "swipe down" to display notifications.
Apex settings-->behavior settings-->under gestures select "swipe down"-->show notifications
Problem is, that only works on the home page, not while in other apps. And getting to the home page while in other apps is a pain, since they didn't make a home button...unless I've somehow just missed that.
All In One Gestures (app) is your answer - install from Play Store.
Allows you to configure swipes and taps to allow, e.g, Home action.

Power Shade App - Truly Amazing

Hi everyone,
I came across this new app showcased by YouTuber, Mrwhosetheboss in his recent video called Power Shade and oh boy has it revamped my whole notification shade!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3zyFC0pc9I&t=3s
I figured you guys would love it too and decided to share.
Link to App: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/treydev-inc/
I don't know why it's not on the Play Store, I emailed the developer complimenting and asking why it's not on the Play Store, will post back here when I get a response.
I came across this Google Sans font in the app itself and it looks amazing on my notification shade, would anyone know how to get the Google Sans font for my whole device?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Power Shade is truly AMAZING app for Android (No Root Needed)

Powershade is Amazing! Funny how you got Android Sans also. We think alike. I emailed the dev also as it was in the Play Store and has only just recently been removed..no response though. The issue is however that a lot of the quick setting toggles you will notice dont work or take you straight to settings, eg Hotspot and the accessory permission will revert from time to time. Apart from that it gives the mate 20 pro a beautiful refresh from that horrid emui
Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from
That’s usually an indication to me that the accessibility service has been disabled. It frequently disables for some reason, I sorta fixed that by turning offf all the battery optimisation etc for the app. Both ways through battery settings and special app permissions OTE=TeeKay35;78482099]Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from[/QUOTE]
I just found it on the play store again
Once I give the app Accessibility permissions, I get an "1" as in an "unread notification" permanently stuck in my status bar. If I revoke the permission the notification goes away, but the app doesn't work any longer.
Does anyone know how to make that "1" go away ?
I tried this app but ended up uninstalling it. It's an interesting idea but I noticed that it negatively impacted the performance of my phone. Scrolling within several apps (including Google Play) was less smooth when this app was running as an accessibility service and returned to normal after this app was no longer running.
I also didn't like that it created an overlay not just over the notification shade but also over the system tray. I think the default Huawei system tray with dark theme enabled looks way better than the one this app creates.
I use the 4 button navigation tray option (the 4th button pulls down notifications as an alternative to swiping from the top of the screen) + the built in option to hide the display notch.
Using these options the notification pull down was smooth from the top of the screen but when using the navigation button instead there was a flash of white on either side of the notch every time notifications were pulled down.
Problem with this app was i started getting poor battery life out of my phone since the installation of this app. Avoid it
I have no battery problems with this app.
my phone it´s normal since i installed this app.
When making an app a device administrator there is often a performance hit or other problems like battery drain. I definitely noticed a performance hit while running this app but the results might be better for some people than I had. As a rule of thumb you want to give as few apps as possible device administrator priveledges.
Installed it, give all permission, untick from 'Launch' in Battery settings, all works flawlessly. No battery drop because of using it, no performance drop & power shade all the time when i slide down (no more emui stock notification). This is by far the most theme changing using the restricted Emui 9. Good!
Any trouble with it causing problems with screenshot features, mine freezes on knuckle gesture and goes to screen recording from the drop quick panel.

Where is the option for auto brightness?
Hello guys, thanks for sharing power shade with us!
I've got a problem with the toggles, I press on the data one to switch it on but it doesn't switch it on and I have to press and hold to activate it manually.
Anyone experiencing that?
Nice app - I used to use Material Notification Shade back in the day when I was on a Nougat ROM on my S7 Edge, it wasn't compatible with Android O though, but now I can resume using it on Android P
The dev says he's going to try to get it back on the Play Store soon so that the pro features can be unlocked.
It would be great if he can fix the screenshot issues when selecting from the drop down quick panel. It just keeps going to record screen instead, but actually freezes up. I've sent numerous emails highlighting the error.

Just double tap the screen using your knuckle to take screenshot.

I know but that doesn't always work especially when there are screens that if you tap once they open a link like the Google feed cards.
