Is there a way to hide or disable the menu bar at the bottom? I would like to replace it with something more minimalistic like zMooth. (on kindle fire stock ROM)
Anyone find anything, I found by installing "No Lock" and moving it to /system/app I can activate it and restart the kindle which causes it to start without locking or showing the menu bar. However the problems with this are:
1. I can't have any security on the device, adding a third party lock screen lke magic locker or go locker bring back the menu bar.
and
2. The bar comes back occasionally for random unknown reasons.
I would also like to know if it is possible to bring the menu bar back in certain applications once it is disabled so I have more control in the web browser. (fullscreen/bookmarks)
Bump, anyone?
I've been trying to figure out how to do this too since I first got it. Even when I use Go Launcher, the menu bar is still there. Very annoying.
You can do it in ADW.

I am aware of this, (it can also be done in go launcher) however I would like it to be replaced with zmooth not just minimized, also adw and go launchers docks get partially cutoff by the minimized menu bar.
Nevermind.
Thanks for pointing this out, the bottom bar was driving me nuts.
Hi, i was wondering how I go about fixing the ADW launcher, bottom middle of the screen with the 3 icons (star for trash, app launcher , and browser). I managed to get Glownooter 1.5.26 installed and the part 2 zip file. All is well, but somehow managed to drop some icons here. Now I have 3 stars across the bottom and they all do the same function.I didn't want to reprogram it just to fix this one issue. I can get to the apps and the browser ok, just not from the launcher now.
Thanks in advance..
Personally, I just turn off those bottom icons things. I don't get the point.
Under ADW Settings >> UI Settings >> Main Dock Style, set it to "None".
Long press on a blank place >> Launcher Actions >> Open/Close App Drawer will create an icon.
Drag things from the app drawer onto your desktop and you are done.
Drag things onto the silly bottom icons (if you still want them) and they will be changed.

Have you tried dragging other apps from the app drawer on top of them? I think you can also long-press those icons to drag whatever's there to the trashcan that pops up if you just want to be rid of them.
Is there a mod that would give me a button on the bottom bar, to open notifications when tapped? The way I usually use this tablet, the top left is the exactly least convenient place to swipe when I'm holding it from the bottom.
I'm on the 3g model but if such a mod exists already, I presume it can be adapted.

Nova or Apex launchers will let you do that very easily.
In the settings you can choose what you want to happen when you tap the home key when you are on the home screen. One of the choices is pull down notifications.

OK, but that's still not a button in the nav bar. I'm looking for a button in the nav bar that pops open the notifications tray, without leaving whatever app I'm in.

i think he's saying to get that button you would need top use a custom launcher such as apex or holo.:good:
With Nova Launcher (I don't have any experience with Apex):
- tap and hold on homescreen
- select "Nova Actions"
- select "Expand Notifications"
When the shortcut is created, drag it to your nav bar.

... and in what ROM are you allowed to drag launcher shortcuts to your nav bar???
To be clear, by nav bar, I mean the black bar along the bottom with the back, home and multitask icons. I am looking to see if there is a mod that can change that to: Back, Home, Multitask, Open Tray.
In some of the cm 10 roms . in the settings /system settings / navigation bar.. You can add two buttons . And change what those do... I am not sure if you can set it to pull notifications or not but i think you might be able to.. I know the euroskank and paranoid android roms have this..
This takes a framework re work.. You will not get this feature in a launcher running on the stock android frame work.. Someone could code this. But doing so would break compatibility with other things .
There would be NO Stock solution for this The ones people are describing above will not work. You can add it to the dock if you have it enables..
Now most launchers Nova prime (what i use) has screen gestures. You could set that to swipe down bring notifications down swipe up close .
Good Luck
Good to know. I guess we'll have to see if devs can expand their ROMs to include 3G, even in absence of full source...

Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the dock.
Any progress or answers?
I'd like some sort of solution to this.
Even something as simple as opening the notifications with a tap instead of a swipe would make a world of difference.
Maybe you should try a ROM with Tablet UI?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a couple of mods that I haven't seen and was wondering if there is one or not. I'm not really wanting to use a separate launcher if I don't have too.
1. Is there a mod to add the play store link to the top right of the app drawer where the settings shortcut is?
2. Is there a way to make the folders I setup on the home screen look like the circles on the stock android home screen?
3. Is there a way to add Torch (flashlight) to the quick settings bar in the notification tray?
I'm loving this phone as it runs circles around my galaxy nexus and these are the only things I am kind of missing.
Thanks in advance.
Dear,
Since i'm experimentating with my homescreen and using different launchers i deleted the button just above my dock to go to all apps. currently i'm using nova launcher and i don't know how i can add the button again.
Quiet irritating as i can't go to all my apps....
U should be able to add a new shortcut to the home screen labeled app drawer and the you can put that back in the original location
Indeed you need to hold the homescreen, the pick widget and there are soms widget of nova launcher included the app drawer! Thx mate!
I was looking in to the settings from nova launcher!
