I am using Remix ROM for my Galaxy S3, it's Lollipop 5.1.1. I prefer to use Power Toggles notification bars, so to conserve screen space I'd like to turn off/disable/get rid of the stock notification drawer. I have gone into the settings and removed all the tiles, however when you swipe down on notification area the space where the tiles for at least one row would be, is still there, just blank Any way to do this? Thanks a lot for your help

The screen on this phone is too damn big for me to reach the notification bar one handed!
Are there any Touchwiz-based ROMs which retain all the built in features AND have the setting to put the notification bar at the bottom instead of the top?
CM is not an option as it dispenses with all the TW stuff.
While I'm about it, I may as well ask if a ROM with the above feature and also some sort of fix for the low auto-brightness setting exists as well?
Previously my S3 could display whatever apps that was running in the notification shade (pull down notification / status menu thingy). It was simple to switch between apps this way. After I upgraded to JB, this function was gone. I can't remember what app it was that made that happen or was it something in ICS.
Does anyone know how to get this function back or what app I could get to achieve this function?
Hello!
I have rooted AOSP 5.1.1. Is there any way to have dropdown notification/quick settings center with only ONE swipe? It drive me nuts that even when I don't have any notifications I need to swipe twice to get into quick settings shortcuts.
One swipe without any notifications, two swipes when there is one at least. That would be logic for me.
Cheers
I've been using AOSP roms on various phones for quite some time and have gotten hooked on using my phone in full screen while using PIE to navigate. Especially on a large phone i find this so so so much easier. Here are some tips i found out through trial and error to what i've found is an awesome experience. I'm using a rooted NF50F which makes doing this easier, though it still can be accomplished unrooted
1. To navigate around your phone use the best Pie application out there imo which is supported on these forums as well LMT
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
this app is so great because of how you can customize it. there are other non root alternatives in the play store but this is the best imo if you have root.
2. fully hide the navigation bar so it never pops up - this is the only way you can use LMT on the bottom of your phone which is excellent for one handed browsing. to do this you need to add the following line to the build.prop and the nav bar is gone forever even after reboots
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
add this line to the bottom of your build prop and save. if you ever want the keys back change the number to 0.
3. use the app SystemUI Tuner to hide the status bar. go under the immersive mode tab and select status bar. Note - you can also hide the nav bar with this app, but it is not fully hidden as it still appears with any upward swipe.
4. I turn edge lighting on so i see notifications when my phone is on. i don't want the entire message shown on my screen so edge lighting works great for me and is a great feature of this phone. you can even get edge lighting working with gmail. i also use textra pro for texting.
there are different ways to make your phone truly immersive including Xposed but if you don't want to used Xposed this is the best solution IMO.
other recommended apps:
Light Flow - to customize your led notification light
bx actions - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bxactions-remap-bixby-button-double-t3673372
material notification shade - can auto expand all notifications and get dark notifications
autonotifications - you can add more buttons to gmail like mark as read, spam, etc
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)
