What App Is This?

Wish I had a photo, but I remember seeing some Today screens that inidicated the number of voicemails, e-mails and SMS messages on the very top of the screen where signal strength, the clock, volume, etc indicators are. Can someone tell me what app(s) do this?

Well, there's Phone Alarm. But that is on your Today screen, not up on the top bar. But you can put it up next to it, like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I feel as if I've seen it in the area above where you've placed PhoneAlarm. Does Wisbar do what I'm looking for?

It's not this one is it?

^^^ It is! ^^^
What is it?

dunno but the website tat pic came from was:
http://www.vijay555.com

The screenshot shows a couple of plugins I wrote, and some other tricks.
Ok, basically, I used my app called VJToggleToday to minimise the StartBar and Bottom bar down to maximise screen space.
Then, I used a custom PhoneAlarm skin I wrote. Using VJToggleToday, that can now "replace" the standard OS Start Bar.
It's all explained here, and the skins etc are available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&highlight=vjtoggletoday
VJToggleToday is being re-written for WM5 - go to the end of that thread for the current alpha release.
I haven't converted the PA skin to the WM5 version yet. I'm in the process of doing it now.

Thanks! I look into this; however, the links to your alpha release of VJToggleToday don't seem to work.

Try this one:

Thanks! Hopefully your full release will offer the option to keep the lower menu bar.

makisupa: use the configuration screen (or edit the registry directly), and just set the softkeys to 26 pixels as default. Then the softkeys will stay, but you can hide the start bar (top bar) as you wish.
In the current alpha release, both bars can be sized to whatever size <=26 pixels you want.
Access the config by launching it with the command line -config

Where is this located in the Registry?

HKLM > Software > Vijay555 > VJTodayToggle
But as I said, you don't need to use the registry, you can use -config

control panel in notification drawer.

hey guys, ive had my nexus for a while, but i switched over from an iphone and on the iphone there was a plug in called sb settings which allowed you to swipe your finger across the status bar and a small control panel would drop down giving you options to dim your screen, turn wifi and other toggles on and off, and gave you your system info all without having to leave the current app you were on. i was wondering if there is such a thing for android, where you have a control panel in the notification drawer.?

A free app called 'Bar Control' will let you put shortcuts in the notification bar.
I use this with 'Switches', a paid toggling app, and a free app 'Wifi Status' (that warns you if you have wifi on but no connection to a network).

Quick Settings free on the market will also do this. Nice little program I use it every day.

+1, works great (although it could do with a UI uplift).

the led torch app for the N1 defenitely requires root

[Q] Status bar disappeared

Hello,
Yesterday, i cant exactly remember what i was doing, but my status bar is gone.
I checked settings -> rom control -> notification bar and nothing to do there.
It just gone.
How do i enable it back?
By the way, im runing PACman HD2 with Marc Kernel.
Thanks!

You need to tell us what disabled it, try to remember what you did.

Not to sound patronising here, but you have tried simply rebooting, right? I had a similar issue once when I was web browsing and suddenly the browser FCed and I couldn't get the status bar back. After a quick reboot, everything was back to normal.

Hold power to bring up the menu, tap "expanded desktop"

do you mean the Status Bar along the top, or the Notification Drawer which is the messages in the drop down screen?
check both of these.
using ADW launcher i can assign a swipe action (swipe up for me) to hide the status bar, maybe you have something similar?

I think change dpi in option may helps you fixing this issue
sorry for my english

Anyway to pick and choose what notifs display in lockscreen?

Just like cm?

Yes, Go to Sound & Notification under settiings, Select App Notifications and turn off the ones you dont want to display.

That will turn them off every where. I mean have control separately from lockscreen and homescreen?

Notifications that show up on Lock Screen and Notifications in general can be set individually.

For example, I would like Gmail not to show up on the lock screen but I would like it to show on the home screen. This cannot be done with the stock rom. Is there any way to do it that way? The lock screen gets too crowded if I get notifications that I don't want to see but would still like to see them on the home screen so I know that I got some other notification.

I'm not able to find such a setting. The only control I see is to hide the content of particular notifications on the lock screen.

Prior to Marshmallow, you used to be able to longpress on the notification on the lockscreen and choose to hide it. At the moment, you can only choose to hide all notifications on the lockscreen rather than choosing individually (as far as I can see).
Means that some persistent notifications will always show up on the lockscreen. I'd prefer to have the option to hide some notifications on the lockscreen but still have them persistent.

You can set that option up individually for each app under the Settings. I selected options to not show notifications for certain apps on Lock Screen, but the app badge itself does show when I have a new notification in my launcher. (I use Buzz Launcher)

I don't see the option chichu_9. Could you be more specific about it's location?

There is a whole bunch of stuff that needs addressing for notifications, you need to be able to turn on and off at a app level what is displayed on the lockscreen. I would like email, SMS, IM apps etc to hide their content but still give me a indication that I have a notification. However breaking news, weather, play store etc and apps as such I should be free to set as show content.
It is silly that it is all or nothing.

The option exists to hide the content of a specific notification on the lockscreen, just not to hide the notification altogether (from what I can tell). You can hide notification content on the lockscreen by going to "Settings">"Sound & Notification">"App notifications" then select an app, and check "Hide sensitive content"

For those who are interested in changing these settings:

Notification Icon is now Uniformed?

Hello All,
I don't know what happened and I did not intentionally change any settings (maybe on accident?) but today when I checked my phone I discovered that all my notifications from the top of my screen are now uniformed instead of displaying notification from mails, different apps etc. I'm wondering how I can get back to the default setting where each app has its own notification icon. Please see the attached picture for reference of what I'm talking about, thank you so much!

Hello All,
Thank you for the prompt help, for some reasons my display setting menu does not have the "only show quantity in status bar" option. My display has the following options
Font Size
Sleep
Brightness Level
Auto rotate screen
Battery percentage
Notification Ligh
Display pedometer
Screen effect
Cast screen
I downloaded the update but was unable to update it because I had install TWRP. After the installation failed because of TWRP I never did get around to install the update using the TWRP way. Wondering if that would play a role here. Please help, thank you guys so much, I greatly appreciate the assistance!!

on which model and Version are you? It should be under the battery percentage

I'm on Android 6.0.1 Build 0B29.
I figured it out. For anyone who has the same problem as I, the setting can be found by pulling the status bar menu all the way down and press on "edit"

Thanks nuridurdu27. I've been trying to figure this out for the last couple of hours. I must have turned this on unintentionally at some point and it was driving me crazy!
