Hi there
How can I add notification shortcuts ( wifi, bluetooth,.....etc )( like that of CM7 ) to status bar on official froyo rom ?
\

Thanks in advance
one easy way to do it is to write an app that has persistant notifications that link to those settings. so you will always have a "button" in your notification tray
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationManager.html
Notifications can take different forms:
A persistent icon that goes in the status bar and is accessible through the launcher, (when the user selects it, a designated Intent can be launched)

Let me know if you need more. I can write some sample code when i get home

Looks good, but it's nice to write this stuff your self. Not too hard, good app to learn from.

What I was talking abt is A persistent icon on status bar.
I thought This could be easy but I was wrong, it's difficult.
If u can simplify the steps, I'll try to do it.
@j4velin
Regarding NT.apk, It's very good app But i wish it has direct access from status bar ( I mean when pressing for ex. WIFI, it opens another screen to activate WIFI )
actually it's not a problem, Just wishing
Thank U very much
I really appreciate your help
You mean like clicking the batter icon or the clock in the status bar and going to those corrosponding settings? There is no method for achieving this. If you try that now you will see that the notification tray starts to slide down.

I mean like the pic.
Maybe someone else knows but im pretty sure that cant be changed or added without modifying or changing the current rom. Or a home screen replacement (never used one so im not sure)..
From something awesome
OK
Thank u so much
wish you best of luck

Is it possible to remove any of the default icons from the status bar? I have so many up there that I barely have any room for notifications. The location icon is pointless. It's there whether you have location turned on or off. I realize this may require rooting, but is it possible?
It will be possible at some point Im sure. Developers were just starting to get rid of them on the Hero (2.1 Android) before I upgraded to the Evo. I was happy to finally get rid of the battery icon since I use a percentage widget in the notification bar anyway. Many were also getting rid of the clock if they had one on their homepage.
Agreed. I have the clock removed on my moment, thanks to the devs at sdx im sure someone will do the same over here as well.
Seriously the Target icon is annoying! And I thought I was a waste of space.

I hate having the GPS and BT icons show up, I already know gps is always on and the blue light tells me if BT is on.
Will it require loading a custom rom that already has these icons removed or will there be a way to manually remove them from any custom rom after it has been loaded onto the phone?
also interested in this, that location icon/cross hair/reticule is insufferable

What blue light????
Also interested in this. Don't need location, vibrate/silent, or clock.
in for this too, preferrably an app in the market
any custom roms provide this?
Ok so I tried to customized my home screen and so I have hidden the status bar cause 1) It's ugly, 2) I have battery status and signal strength on the home screen.
And then I realised that's some information were missing... So here come my idea, I'm gathering informations to make a "cal widget style" home screen notification widget.
That seem a good idea to me to display the usual notification directly in a widget but it doesn't seem easy to make at all.
If you have any advice, piece of code, warning or cute girl don't hesitate...
PS: sorry for the mistakes => french dude inside ^^
In passing
I see this post maybe outdated? Im looking for a widget that will pull down the notification bar. From a tap on the set widget. Is there such an app...ANYBODY.

not 100% what you're looking for, but if you happen to use CM-based ROM, there's quite good solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031607
Hi, I finally got around to dumping wm6.5 and installing android CM7_HoneyComB_V57 on my HD2; Its BRILLIANT should have done it ages ago! The only thing I have found is the power settings on the notification bar don’t have a data toggle. I’ve solved my problem for now by using a 'power bar' widget but id like to know if there is a way to get a data button on the original power settings OR if not is there a way to just remove that power bar totally. It seems daft to have both.

In CM7 you can customise what toggles show up, the order, and more. In the settings application, click on the CM tab the navigate to statusbar tweaks and look for power menu toggles there are a whole bunch of options to customize to your liking.
nice work mate

Hello, all.
Need some assistance with the new 4.3 name how get rid of the app icons from my notification bar and notification tray. Pics included show what I mean. Looked through the settings but can't find any option to get rid off them and pressing the popup doesn't help either. Any help would be great. Thanks.

There is only 1 way: go to One Media Hub and Go Launcher settings, find something about notification icon and uncheck that.
Hi all,
A newbie question to the Android experts. I have read in many forums that a rooted device is needed in order to change and/or customize status bar icons. However, Samsung Good Lock app was able to do this on an un-rooted device. Good Lock app provided AOSP status bar icons and I loved it. The stock Samsung network and WiFI icons are super hard to see and quite frankly ugly. The wifi icon is half the size because of the ridiculous up/down arrows underneath the icon.
I have been looking for a replacement app like Good Lock but no luck. I tried Status and Material Status apps but they are buggy and don't work all the time. More over, they render another status bar on top of an existing one.
How was Good Lock app able to do this on a non-rooted device? I presume it was able to replace the SystemUI?What does it take to build an app like Good Lock? Anyone knows how it was accomplished or if it's possible?
Thanks for your time.
