Is it just me, or can notifications not be expanded on the lock screen? The little arrow is there on the top right, just like in the notification pulldown, but tapping it once doesnt expand it on the lock screen like it does in the tray.

Question for anyone using Extended Controls on the Atrix. I want to be able to place Extended Controls in my notification bar, but to also be able to eliminate having the widget on my Home screen. I find that if I remove the widget, it also no longer shows up when I bring the notification area down and tap on the EC. Anyone know how to do this, or is it necessary to have the widget on the Home screen, in which case, it seems like a waste of time to put it in the Notification Bar.
Thanks.
I'm not sure about EC, but if you use Widgetsoid you can add them to the notification bar and then set the widget that's on the homescreen to invisible, so that it's ONLY in the notification bar...I believe. There's a free widgetsoid, so you could always try that out!

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another work around for not having buttons on the notification bar is if you use
swipePad + mySettings
just swipe on the corners to mySettings and change your settings through there. IMO best way.

Sounds like a novel approach. I'll try that too. Thanks!
Widgetsoid blows because..
if you click on a toggle it is not truly a toggle(in notification area) because it launches another toggle window and you cannot toggle directly from notification area

That's true. I guess it depends on the phone. I'm trying the Swipe Pad + My Settings suggestion and finding that I'm liking those apps a lot. The Swipe Pad seems to add a lot of additional functionality. Thanks.

That's true. If EC does it better while still hiding the home screen widget, then by all means use that! Just offering other ideas in case it doesn't.
May not be what you're looking for/more work than you want to do, but CM7 pre beta2 has notification bar controls built in with a bevy of other new features that make day to day use more convenient. I've been using it as my daily driver since pre beta 1 was posted and love it. Minus the few addressed issues that are being worked on now it's the best rom available IMHO.
When I swipe down to view the notification bar, everything shifts. The whole page shrinks and adds black bars to the side. On the video I watched about Themer, when he swiped down the notification bar smoothly came down ontop of the page. Not sure if I am missing a setting or if that is just how it is.
Screenshot would be nice

In the first image everything is fine.
Second image I swiped down to show notification bar and everything shifts and it adds black bars to the side.
Third image is when I hide the notification bar and somethings are still shifted.
We're working on themes that have the notification bar built in. Right now most of them hide it for a clean look, but you can gesture down to open it temporarily, and gesture up to hide it again

That is what I am doing. But in doing the gesture down to show the notification bar, it shifts the items on the page. I like that it is hidden and the gesture down and up to show/hide it. Just hoping it was a bit smoother and just overlapping on the page instead of shifting everything.

Looking at your screenshots, it looks like you have a modified notification bar. On stock devices, when you gesture down, the notification bar "floats" on top of the theme briefly and does not mess up the alignment. Try restoring your notification bar to stock configuration and you might have better results.

I had a mod for the status bar and I got rid of it and it works fine. Thanks!
Some apps have persistent notifications, such as Wi-Fi Calling. I want the notification to show in the Notification bar, but not in the new Lollipop lock screen. Is there any way to hide specific notifications like that permanently in the lock screen?

Settings>Sound>Lockscreen. That's the only option I know of.

The only way I can think of to make that work is to set it to hide sensitive notifications, and somehow set the persistent apps to be marked as sensitive, and everything else as not sensitive. I haven't found anywhere to do that.
Is there anyway to limit the number of notifications displayed at the top of the screen to around 8? I got icons stacking in behind my clock and it makes seeing the time near impossible at times
Only option on the phone is Settings, Display, Status Bar, Show recent notifications only.

Hello, I'm coming from an iPhone and one thing I really like is that when I click on a notification on the lock screen it opens up to the app without me having to do any additional actions (because of Face Unlock).
I have face unlock enabled on my S21 but when I click on a notification I still have to swipe up... is there a way around that so that it just opens up to the app when I click on the notification on the lock screen?

Oh there are several settings for lock screen and notifications.
Just play around. Maybe there is a combination that works for you.
