Hi guys,
ive been messing around with JB for a while (xxls2) and noticed that you can access the notification bar while playing a game or watching a movie (anything full screen).
By: just swiping the above area (task bar) down while on full screen app. Which enables u to see notifications and turn on or off any toggle or even change screen brightness.
I havent seen anyone talk about this so i wanted to share.
Cheers

damn.....i should have noticed that ...why dint i notice that...
i wanted that feature so badly because i use opera full screen all the time and it was a pain going to home screen to check th the notifications everytime..
guess i was too stupid.to notice....
just for that you get all my 8 thanks for the day..
There is an App for that too!
if your not on jellybean and if you want this same feature , then just install an app called 'Smart Status Bar'
This will do the job!
This app is available for free !
Here is the link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free
Yaa...I also tried it.
Its grt

Yeah I noticed this too. Then went to AOSP and realised it wasn't there.
Must be a Sammy feature.
how could I have missed that?!? :silly:

Ah, ok. Already thought I have missed something
I am using Paranoid's settings to use Phablet Layout, so that the status bar is displayed even in full-screen apps (but on bottom, not on top).

I noticed this when i played the air patriots game when swiping the planes from top edge of the screen then i thought some bug when the bar keep appearing, so i leave them alone and then i noticed on other apps also working since about a week ago while i played the game a month ago. Ironic huh

Noticed on the Xperia x10 site that japan have realsed a new lock screen and theme.
Link below
http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/10/03...her-brings-live-wallpaper-to-your-xperia-x10/
Using it now on my x10. Im really enjoying it so far. Think I will keep it for a while.
Hmm not sure about it cant u change the live wallpaper? And end up with double lockscreens. Might have a go at editing the apk images dont like the icons

I've tested it.
Here'sd the app : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V44GIZEX
I like the black theme... but the lockscreen is laggy sometimes and the animation background freeze sometimes.
EDIT : Need to reboot once after the installation. Now there is no lag. I've also noticed a related post there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797660
Yes.
and this has been posted already yesterday, in the XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps.
tested it and I like it more than the default theme. But it is kind of difficult to unlock using just one hand. Its definitely something you can get used to but I kind of miss the dockng bar of adw launcher.

It's not that difficult, actually...
You'lll just have to drag te blob upwards. Don't have to touch the lock icon.
But the thing that I don't like about it is that I can't change wallpapers. I like the screen lock part, but I wanna use my own wallpaper =/
its the start maybe in the next version it will have the possibility to change wallpapers and other settings
I like the lock screen but I don't see myself using the launcher much... it cuts many widgets off... and I love my widgets
i like this lay out
cool stuff
But the lock screen lags, so i'm turning it off for now.
so, the lock screen can by used separately?
The best part about this launcher is if you are in the Application Drawer, click the little wrench in the right corner, and you can uninstall programs right there. Awesome.
I wonder if default lockscreen app can be overwritten directly in the file system...
perhaps this way would prevent old lockscreen "flashing"
ambient time
who uses it? if so is it draining your battery way too fast?
I've seen on mine that even when charging it the battery is being drained
thanks for the comments
Regards battery draining, no.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
this is awesome but idk why when charging my phone and using this them the battery seems to be drained faster instead of charging
anyone has the same problem?
For me, so far ok. Not much difference and I have turn off the ambient time screen lock.
But notice that it will slow down a bit when you finish a call as it will load the ambient time home screen for a while without the icons then go back to lock screen.

Is there a mod I can flash to remove the clock on the status bar. Most people have widgets and I just don't even seem the point of it being on the status bar anymore.
And I know its called something else than a status bar. Having a brain fart haha
Thanks in advance

I can understand that, but on amoled displays it's nice to at least have the option to disable it. I'm already experiencing (slight) burn in. Download screen test from the market, make the screen either all white or all blue and you'll probably see it on yours too. Technically it's burn out not burn in (the blue sub pixels burn out first) but it looks the same.
Certainly not a big deal but I'm a video engineer so it bugs me more

I am all about options. Something I like, may not be liked by others, and vice versa. I wish the majority of the phone stuff had options for that exact reason.

I wish I could put the time back somehow on Bonsai. I use it all the time. Now I have to lock my phone to see the time. Yes I know I could use a widget or another program but the stock is better...no overhead..and just there.
I too also use the clock on the status bar annoying that it is now gone in bansai:-( I am going to try to get it back

I use the Launcher Pro that lets me hide the notification bar whenever is not needed. It actually saves the screen from burn "out".
I wish the notification bar only is shown when something is new or a warning otherwise it's just a wasted real estate on the screen.

Hey there,
I'm used to pull down the notification bar from any possible app (even games) on the sgs3.
I noticed it isn't possible on the nexus... Is there any mod or something for that? :/
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
its sdk functionality. if an app requests the statusbar should be hidden the framework has to do that in order to not get in the way of gestures and swipes on which the app relies. if touchwizz ignores that it would be a pretty evil abuse, something that should get them in legal trouble. i dont think it would be hard to realize but i know of no mod or rom who's got that.
Oh I see thank you very much for the explanation.
I got pretty used to it as it was really convenient checking my notification bar without minimizing my current app. (Change music, brightness , GPS etc....)
Oh well will have to get used to it then.
Thanks for the reply again

Miui allows this. I expect we'll get a miui rom eventually.
For the time being you could use this app:

Hey guys,
I really like the pie controls for the larger screen and I would like to keep using them. The problem is that I'm still quite slow using them and now I'm wondering how quickly you permanent users got used to them.

It's really fun now with the Pie Controls.... It took me not even a day to get used to it... I'm on it all the time.. Need to turn it off when I'm handing over my N4 to someone else.. and when I'm using the Pie Controls everybody around is like :cyclops::cyclops::good::good:
You'll get used to it very soon... and then stay on it forever..... :good:

pratice makes perfect, still learning myself. I'd suggest try using pie for the tasks/things u do most and turn em off for what you do the least on your Nexus.
Do you guys now how to add the cool clock when the pie shown up? In the pie pro control setting there's an option to add click but it's different (very lame clock) please help me..

I've tried pie on plenty of roms and can't seem to get used to it. Its so damn pretty though.....but It's easier from a functionality standpoint (for me) to decrease the size of my nav bar and make it semi translucent(i do the same with my status bar). I do this because It annoys me to no end when I can't trigger pie and I need to do something, like, right at that moment
I've attached a pic of my home screen so you can see what it looks like. It's pretty close to pie....you can achieve that pie full screen without using pie, just play with your interface settings(nav bar, status bar, I forgot to add that I use a hidden status bar) and get a decent launcher if your Rom doesn't support these tweaks. I use nova prime, I don't think I could live without it lol. If you have any questions on my setup just let me know.

I really don't like pie tbh. It just seems like a novelty to me, and using the navbar will always be quicker imo. That being said, I do like the fact that you can gain more screen real estate with pie by disabling the navbar and using pie for control, and it looks awesome when it is engaged. I guess its all down to personal preference. If pie works for you than use it. :good:
At first I didn't like pie, thought it was too slow and stuff. I test the waters for a week by enabling it by putting nav bar to 0%. Now I'm so used to it im faster with pie than normal navi bar. Its funny cause when I use an iphone or another android i try to enable the pie but its not there. There is one thing that does annoy me. While my screen is locked, pie does not come out
After using them for a day they already feel much more familiar so I think I will stick to them

im not sure i can help, but im not really understanding the issue.
are you saying, it drops the shortcut in a different location than you place it with your finger?
The white dot is my finger the light blue is where its going to be placed... Its fine when its a single icon but when trying to place a a 2x2 or larger its very hard to get it placed anywhere on the home screen

sorry, but im not sure i can even make an educated guess on that one.
it would seem to have something to do with the launcher if i had to guess, possibly your grid settings.
it either thinks there isnt enough room or there actually isnt, because of how the grid is set, and the apps you already have there.
if you cant work it out by moving some apps around to make room, or adjusting the grid settings (may not be possible on all launchers),
im not sure what else you could try.
That was my thoughts on it as well ...its the stock moto launcher... Its not doing it on nova or Apex(not wanting to lose the circle widget tho) ... I modified the apk to a 4x5 grid and minimized the dock from 82dip to 58dip which helped some allowed me to at least drop a 2x2... Thank you kindly for your input
