Browser problem

I was messing w/ my browser settings & I have absolutely no clue what I did...but now I can't get my notification bar to show anymore! It shows briefly when I'm loading a page, but it disappears as soon as the URL bar disappears. I scroll up & I can see the URL bar, but not the notification bar. How can I get this back? I reverted to default settings & that didn't help.

open browser > menu button > settings > scroll to the bottom > restore defaults

Right, like I mentioned in my post I've already reverted back to default settings & for some reason this didn't fix it.

Full screen mode?

Checking this hides the status bar while in the browser, uncheck it to show the status bar.

Wow this is nuts. I don't seem to have that setting at all. Where in your settings menu do you see this? And yes I'm running the default browser.

Browser version 2.3.3

Here's what I see. Note you can see the notification bar here, but it disappears in the main browser window.

If you go to settings>Manage applications>all and click on browser what version does it say you have?

Version 2.2.1

So how do I get the latest browser version?

[KITCHEN][10-22-11] MOD My Phone

Calling this a kitchen, but call it what you will.. Modifier, Downloader, Installer
MOD My phone comes packaged with ThunderStick Notifier which has been distributed with ThunderStick ROMs as a easy way for users to modify there devices.
Well MOD My Phone is capable of much more than just modifying devices with ThunderStick ROMS
It will modify any device.
Kind of like a kitchen it uses a predefined set of settings and a little user input to make changes to your device.
Even better MOD My Phone now has the ability to allow developers to list there own modifications for download directly from the MOD My Phone app.
Currently this app only works with Windows PC's but with further development one day could grow past that limitation.
Download from here and let me know what you think.

Great idea! Thnx thunderstick! I don't have Windows atm, but look forward to testing this in the future!

I get an error when I try to open the program, says cannot retrieve ADB version number... Anything extra I need to do before I start the app?

I think a lil bit of instruction is needed here to utilize this "Great Idea" TStick..I d/l the file to my PC but what do we do once that is done. I open the app but find a lot of subfolders which Idk what to do with. Thanks and Yes, This sounds like a great idea for sure

You need to have adb installed properly for this to work directly with your phone. If you just want to download or summit mods then just ignore the adb messages.

also if your not getting images with your results, go to settings and click the use google.com instead of native and bam you have imaged answer cards

Can confirm it works on Evil Alex, but not sure if I get the audio notifications yet.
I was also under the assumption, a pop-up card would appear when near a point of interest.

I think that it takes a few days for it to gather data. Then, when it has enough, and sees a pattern it will start to present you with the cards.
I haven't had it long enough to take, so I don't show cards yet either. But from what I've read that's the deal.

for talkback you need to click the little settings icon in bottom right corner of google now...a whole bunch of settings come up, go to places and set as you like. also check use google.com instead of native to get images with the results cards,.
the google now will recognize after a few days that you leave to go to a certain place each day, then ask if you wanna set it as your place of work, it then starts to give you updates as to when you should leave to arrive on time and such.

That is because of the drawable settings , I noticed this also and I'm trying to fix it , I'm close to solution.
EDIT:
Here you go , this one deletes voicesearch.apk also and installs the Google_Now.apk (Velvet) modded so it only shows a Search icon and mic icon in left corner and not the 2 google icons.
Flash with cwm , it should work on G100W / A500 and A501
This is how it looks now.

I wonder if it's different cuz you're in a different country.

think that may be a reason:

Did you know?

Did you know you can turn off magazine app from opening when pressing the home button. There is an option for it ....... when magazine app is open press the menu button, then settings, then select open using the home key, un-check the box.

Well that was simple. Thanks, that stupid thing drove me nuts.

While on the subject, anyone know of any way to add new news sites to my magazine? Ie specific sites and not just a category?

Thanks I hate it too.

That thanks was purely for the sense of humour. He he

Did you know that you can create shortcut icons in the Multi Window panel that will automatically open paired windows of your choice?
If you didn't here's how.
Open the Multi Window panel on the left side of the screen, then open two apps that you use together. Now with both apps on your screen open the Multi Window panel again and look for the up arrow at the bottom of this panel and touch it. A little menu will open, select create. A box will then appear that let's you give it a custom name if you like.
More tips will follow and if you have a tip please feel free to add one.

How can I add Apps to the selection? There are a few apps on the tab but I would like to add apps I use the most. Seems I have tried everything but the right thing.

You have to root it and install Wanam Xposed. That has a setting that lets you pick what apps you want to make available for multi-window.

Multiwindow Plus and Pen Window Manager will also do it, you have to be rooted for both though.

Xposed is easier, free and does lots of other awesome things

Removal of "Change Keyboard" button from Nav Bar

Has anyone seen an app or mod that removes the change keyboard button from the nav bar when typing?... or moves it to the left side?
No luck with searching but the terms are generic enough that I had so many results, maybe I missed something.

I only have three buttons, and not the extra Keyboard on. Don't remember doing anything to remove it.

Three things:
1. It only shows up when your keyboard is out, in case that's not obvious.
2. Do you have a keyboard installed aside from the stock keyboard?
3. What ROM? I'm on stock.

I never paid attention to that, thanks!

Gravitybox has this option. It's called "Remove IME Switcher" or something like that uncer Navbar options.
I got rid of mine too, since my back button is on the right and I always accidentally hit the keyboard switch button instead.
You'll need xposed framework though.

Go to Settings --> Language and input --> The under "Keyboard and input methods" click on "Current Keyboard" if you look on the right hand side you will see you have more than one language or input method selected just uncheck them until you have just one option. This should solve your problem.

You cannot turn off the stock keyboard, though I suppose I could freeze it via Titanium or something as a last resort.

You can also disable the keyboard and doesn't require root and solves your issue.

You don't need to turn off or disable the stock keyboard. Please review this screencast of what I'm referring to.

You only have the Google keyboard. If you install another, that won't work... But yeah, I guess just disabling/freezing is the solution.
