Lollipop brought a nice way of giving notification on the lockscreen but on G3, half of the area has been made useless for providing the area to unlock the phone.
Is there any Xposed module which can hide or atleast reduce it so that it can be used for notification?
I know there are lockscreen apps which can be used but I want to use knock code which is not provided by any of them. If any app provide such thing, please let me know.

I love the notification toggles... but hate the fact that Samsung forgot to put in any method to customize these!!
So instead, I'd like to use one of many apps in the Market to give me notification toggles (Wigetsoid or Notification Toggle in the Play Store comes to mind). That way I can customize them exactly as I like...
BUT... the original touchwiz will still be there.
Is there a simple method to remove that bar, such as perhaps removing an APK, or editing a non-compiled config file somewhere?
I'm currently rooted using Blazer's ROM (1.6), and I'd rather not suggest for him to remove it from the ROM as I'm sure there are a lot of people perfectly happy with the way it is.
If anyone has an easy method to remove it, please speak up

Rocking T2 on the S3 (V)
Hi, I've been building my own N5 ROM for a while now but don't have the time to release/maintain/support it plus there are plenty of other options out there that are very similar. BUT, I recently got me an NFC Ring and so wanted to build NFC unlocking into the framework and this is something that currently can only be achieved using an Xposed module so I thought I'd share the code.
First of all, a huge thanks to MohammadAG and qwerty12 for their work on the Xposed module here as this is what a lot of my changes are based on.
The first thing I did was modify Nfc and Settings apps so you can choose when to enable Nfc Polling...
Polling off
Screen off
Screen on and locked
Screen on and unlocked
Screen on and locked only - this is a new mode i've put in that turns Nfc on with the screen and then off again once unlocked. As I only use Nfc on my phone for unlocking, this is really useful as its nice on the battery and doesn't prompt with the empty tag viewer every time i unlock!
Then, using the Xposed module as a basis for the code I added Nfc unlocking into the framework and Nfc app as well as a new item under Security Settings where you can add/remove tags that are allowed to unlock.
In terms of security:
the Nfc tag acts as an override to whatever other lock screen you're using, pattern, pin etc.
The tag contents are only handled if the screen is unlocked. If polling is set to 'screen on and locked' then the tag will be picked up as soon as the device is unlocked but there's no way for an unauthorised tag to have its contents handled while the screen is off or on and locked.
The unlock is triggered from the Nfc app as an intent, it's probably possible to trigger this intent from elsewhere but the tags uid is checked from within the keyguard while handling it so the uid needs to be known and passed as part of the intent for this to work.
It's all working nicely for me so far but given I'm not massively familiar with the guts of the android lock screen security and creating new UI's, there's probably room for improvement.
So, ROM devs feel free to add this to your ROMs, giving credit where credit is due and let me know of any fixes or improvements either here or as pull requests on my github. The modified repos are here:
https://github.com/AospPlus/android_packages_apps_Settings/commits/aosp-plus_4.4
https://github.com/AospPlus/android_frameworks_base/commits/aosp-plus_4.4
https://github.com/AospPlus/android_packages_apps_Nfc/commits/aosp-plus_4.4
So I fully apologize because I know this is not the right place to ask this question, however, this is exactly what i'm looking for.
'm running an n5 with elementalx 1.00 and rooted stock 4.4.4. I would like to add this functionality to my phone, because i too (****ing eventually) have a NFCRing.
I'm not a dev, so i understand that this request is tricky for you to help me with. but anything you can suggest, to avoid dealing with the xposed framework or the relatively useless functionality of the NFC ring unlock app, would be greatly appreciated.

Hey man, give me a few days and ill compile a pure aosp rom with just these changes and hopefully you should just be able to push I think 4 system files and have the functionality.

Analog Clock with live wallpaper, all you have to do is install this module activate it and reboot your phone.
To choose the analog clock as your live wallpaper follow these steps:
1)go to settings
2)choose"Device"tab
3)select "Wallpaper"
4)select "Home screen"
5)finally select live wallpapers and choose the analog clock
Hope you like it guys!!
**More themes coming soon**

Sure
Why is this an XPosed module?
No source? Seems like this is a new username and you've posted a few new apps recently and none are open source nor on the Play Store.
That could be perfectly normal but it's just odd something like a live wallpaper of a clock would need to be an XPosed module.
I've downloaded a live wallpaper of a clock before that didn't require XPosed which is why I'm curious.
It does not need xposed but im a new developer here and i am doing the things i am capable of and if you dont need it you dont have to use it
Then why not open source it and put it on F Droid?
That would be a perfect avenue to get some exposure. I don't know if the XPosed repo is the most ideal way I'd choose if I was wanting to get my apps out there.
F Droid might be better simply because your apps don't necessarily need root permissions and aren't doing fancy XPosed things. F Droid gets quite a bit of attention as an alternate app store with a no cost barrier of entry.
Well thanks for the note ill give it a try
@wissam.az1: The "app" seems not to have parts which could be loaded by Xposed. So why you uploaded it to Xposed repo?
Will it go in a future update that the background will be the previous or stock wallpaper.....
That it will 'look' like a floating widget in the background (instead of a solid color background) that does nothing but tell time...

@moshiach101 sure bro i may release the update today if i finish work early

Agreed. I disabled the module in the repository.
Hi,
My phone is running android version 9.0, I'm looking for some way to remove / disable the name of my carrier name up in the notification bar. My provider is red pocket and their name is so large that I lose a lot of valuable space in my notification bar. I still haven't rooted my phone as of yet, but I'm sure not against doing so. I thought there might be some way to get that accomplished without having to root my phone.

As far as I know you'd need to use root apps from Google Play that can get the job done. There are some that don't require root that may get the job done. I've personally used an iOS based notification bar on devices that can use root
Hi,
I got a used OnePlus 7T Pro, because it was a better choice for me in many ways than new phones. I just absolutely love the screen.
But I was trying to find out, how to make actually everything fully use it. Afaik there used to be a way on A10, that is no longer working.
So I searched the whole week how to hide the status bar, and in the end decided to even root and try various Magisk modules, or EdXposed/GravityBox stuff, pretty much anything I could find because many people reported "status bar height = 0" to do the job. But it really doesn't.
It allows to hide the *contents* of the status bar, BUT the space there is still covered by an ugly bar that apps (browser, whatsapp, anything) aren't drawing over. And that looks even worse than having clock+battery present honestly :'(
So I am desperately trying to search for ANY way to accomplish a fullscreen experience. Does anyone know of one?
I actually like the stock OxygenOS personally. But at this point, I'm willing to hop on any good quality custom rom that would allow it.
(I am even considering somehow downgrading to A10, but would absolutely prefer not to).
I can't believe people here aren't all over this / that everyone with 7/7T pro didn't already do everything in their power to accomplish a full system-wide fullscreen experience. So, desperately pleading anyone, is there some Rom/Mod/Module allowing this?
Thanks
Oh, one additional thing: I noticed, that when changing the option under
Settings -> Developer -> Display Cutout
The status bar (and the reserved space around it) actually does change and move up/down for various options. The "Waterfall Cutout" makes the bar significantly narrower, and apps are properly respecting it (= being drawn a bit higher) too. Which gives me some hope.
There is an installable Magisk module called "None Display Cutout" from here:
[Remove display cutout][ROOT] Full screen 21:9 for apps in landscape, incl Netflix.
Requirements: Magisk root. Download and install the "None Display Cutout" in the Magisk managers module repo. It will add an option in developer settings display cutout options, "No Display Cutout". Choose it, and apps, including netflix, will...

And "No Nonsense Notch Overlay" from here

These just don't try to accomplish complete status bar disappearance, but they touch on the "Display Cutout" settings in some way. So they *could... maybe* be modified to make the status bar completely disappear? Since they alter the overall display bounds even on Android 11 successfully.
Honestly, those 2 are the most promising directions I stumbled upon, but I personally don't know how to modify them to do what I want (= shrink the whole status bar area to 0 pretty much)

I too am desperately looking everywhere having hidden the status bar for years and can't find any way to hide it anymore did you find anything that works? i'm rooted with magisk
I am sorry to say that I gave up. If you have energy to be dealing with this still and manage to find a good solution, pls ping me, but otherwise I'm now in peace with not being able to get rid of it Wish I could help but I tried for some time and just didn't find anything fully working.
Fullscreen immersive app can do this and I think Apex launcher can hide this too
I was aiming for getting rid of the status bar everywhere, in photos, twitter, maps, browser etc, not just homescreen (Apex).
And any "immersive apps" that sort-of work only manage to hide the time+notifs+battery from the status bar, but actually retaining the status bar itself :'(( Aka, any app starts drawing only under the area where the status bar always is. So I don't see the battery+time there, but I see an empty space - at that point it's just better to have the time there as normal, it just looks bad when simply empty :-|
Afaik the "immersive app" only work "properly" on the older android versions that support immersive mode, which newer androids don't (((

androplus wrote a magisk module that hides the status bar in MIUI. I'm not sure if it will work on other devices or not but it works on my Mix Fold 2. definitely worth trying. search the mix fold 2 forum for the link
I own OnePlus 7 Pro and I spent 2 months trying to find the solution. Status bar... I hate it too. So... it will be hit or miss for every app, but (for example Google photos is crashing with it) ... If your phone is rooted and you have installed Magisk:
Download and install LSPosed Framework modul (Zygisk version should be better)
In LSPosed Framework->Repository->Search->App Settings Reborn and enable it.
In App Settings Reborn choose any app you wanna tweak to eliminate Status Bar and then click on the wheel at bottom right corner. Now, you will have to go app after app to tweak it. Choose one and enable tweaking at left top corner. These three options are your new friends: auto hide fullscreen, no title and fullscreen.
Just don't be me... don't forget to stop app you are tweaking or it will not work immediately and don't forget to save the settings you chose by clicking on that floppy disk. And as I wrote earlier, some apps will behave weird and some will crash. Have fun.
