I am a newb when it comes to Android, so please forgive me if these issues seem obvious or my terminology is out of touch.
On Android 4.2 with my TrueSmart, I had installed Swipe Status Bar and it was a great way to see all the pending system notifications and give quick access to some phone functions (wifi, airplane, bluetooth, GPS, etc). I can't figure out how to activate something similar now in KitKat. I installed the same app, but I hear KitKat has it's own swipey status bar of some sort? Either way, I can't activate either of them. Sometimes I can get Swipe Status Bar to trigger if I frantically swipe up and down across the screen, but obviously something is wrong (perhaps even a ID-10T error I'll admit). What do most people here use to read Android notifications?
Also, on 4.2 the bottom hardware button would turn on the screen and go to the default launcher's home screen. In KitKat now, it doesn't power on the screen, but it will go to the launcher's home screen if the screen is already on. Is there a way to configure what that button does, like power on the screen too?
Thanks in advance!

It is work in progress, but I have a mod of an Xposed Module that fixes both problems.
There is a special hack for the status bar that makes the GravityBox expanded desktop working.
For waking up, you can map Home to Power with the same module.

What xpoesd module is that?
Note: GravityBox is only sufficient, my mod is not needed.
Thanks Gerhard! From what I can tell then, I'll need to install SuperSU, then Xposed, then GravityBox to get to that point (starting from the stock KK install for the TS). I'll try this tonight.
Hey guys. Is there a way to completely disable heads-up notification that pops up on android lolllipop?
I know some apps can disable it (whatsapp plus could =[ ... )
Some custom ROMS, such as Resurrection Remix implemented a swich to completely disable the popups and show notifications just like android 4.4.4 and below.
Is there a way to disable them? Could be with root.
PLEASE!
I hate it! it shows on games, and even on CAMERA!
(i know about "priority mode", but it is not the same,.... i want to still get notified, without loosing part of the screen)
Hey Yuri, I'm with you. I'm also looking for a way to disable heads-up. Whatsapp's are the most annoying.
actually.
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!
Give it a try:
Download from Playstore

Hey everyone,
are there any ways to turn off the pop-ups notification that comes with lollipop by default? I've installed the third party app called HeadsUp since I've set up Acdisplay for my lockscreen. It works fine in 5.0.2 but since my upgrade to 5.1.1 it get messed up because of the default pop up text notification that came with the upgrade to lollipop. Well, I don't want to uninstall HeadsUp because of customization options so I would like to disable lollipops default pop ups. It's a complete mess if both runs simultaneously. A possible approach would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your efforts!
I'm on Android 5.1.1 with custom Rom Xtrestolite, custom recovery TRWP and root.

SOLVED! I disable HeadsUp notification via Wanam Xposed Kit and get what I've asked for. Perfect!
Hi, there
there is many devices and apps that require them to be running all the time to make them work for example smartbands, they have a notification saying connected, maybe one is fine, but i have 2 apps that require this and have to notification there all the time that I find annoying, is there any way to maybe have them running still but just hide the notifications?
If you're running Nougat, you can slide the notification to either side and open the settings for that app. There, press the encircled A and select the priority of the notification accordingly.
bump, can someone have a look
I want to disable the notification shade entirely as its very irritating mid game. sometimes even pulls down the whole notification area since I use claw many buttons near the top of screen.
google only give solutions to disable notifications not the bar itself.
im currently unrooted and on stock rom don't mind unlocking and flashing if necessary.
I use full screen mode with gestures not buttons like shown in screenshot, enabled for getting using screenshot shortcut only (by long press back button)
