Not sure but I bet you could change that obnoxious banner in your sig. At the very least, put a warning in the title of your threads to have sun glasses handy before opening.

The Modaco ROM kitchen supports making the side menu button always available. But I guess with PA you'd have to ask the dev.

Is there any way to get the notification bar on the bottom?

ii was recently running CM7, and ii loved the fact that ii could set the notification bar to show up on the bottom of the screen, instead of the top, like the tablets do. ii switched to the newset Mik rom, with sense 3.0 aspects built in (because ii can't live without Sense UI), but ii still want my bar at the bottom. Any suggestions?

Unfortunantley no in cm7 it is a tweak meant for tablets and also does work on the phone and since it is originally made for tablets noone has really developed one you could always request it in the forums but something like that might not be done because its not common someone wants that on 3.6" device

I think the op was asking if there's a way to do it on Sense.
I've tried putting the notification bar at the bottom but I always accidentally hitting menu or back button..

A new IDEA......

Hi guys...
I dont know how many of you are annoyed with the way u ''multi task'' or bring ''recent apps'' in S3.. im certainly...
I feel ''pressing and Holding the home button'' for a while makes me think its a lllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnggggg time... so being lazy & impatient i came up with an idea....
:good: why cant Samsung or Someone could use the gesture "SWIPE UP FROM THE ""BOTTOM EDGE"" OF THE DISPLAY" to bring up the recent apps screen? Just like the way we bring down the notification bar from TOP EDGE of the display
Logically I want the device to look for the initial value of Y=0 on the screen to enable this gesture
We all know there is enough gap between the HOME BUTTON and the BOTTOM EDGE of the display?
Kindly say what do you think about this ? A request to Senior Members of the forum to make this idea reach the Samsung Engineers please.. Thank you
Can't be implemented until there is some hardware change.

When the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update hits soon, that gesture will activate Google Now.
hm.why dont implement it with gestures+siyah kernel (link)
but instead of swiping above the hardware button,swipe on the bottom of the screen to up.

I set that gesture on nova launcher prime. If I Swype up from the app drawer icon it opens recent apps so I don't have to press the home button to see recent apps!
Hope it helps!

He's looking for gestures on the small area between screen and the hardware home key. That's not possible because the screen doesn't have touch sensitivity there.

No... I want the device to look for the initial value of Y=0 to enable this feature.....
I think is verry possible considering swiping from very top downwards on any app in the sgs3 brings down notifications.

Well that may interfere with functionality of a few apps. This could be implemented though.

You will not need Samsung engineers for this. If it attracts any kernel developer here then that's all you need. Try gokhan or Franco.

If you use Nova launcher prime you can set up gestures. I just tested it I set a two finger swipe up to show recent apps and it works like a charm
Edit not sure it works when any app has the focus but it does work when on the homescreen

On screen buttons

Since this is going to be my first phone with on screen buttons which I consider a stupid idea I am wondering what can we go with this back bar embeded at the bottom of the screen, Can we make it smaller?, will it be removed in games? Can we add extra buttons or ever widgets to it? Maybe ever make it pages so when you swipe over it it will reveal a rss feed or something. Any ideas on what can be done to make it helpful rather than a hinderance

Once custom roms start rolling out you will be able to change the DPI of the bar.
AOKP i expect will support this feature as they do in current JB Roms
Why don't you like them? I think they're great.

But that's the beauty of Android. We can choose whether they're always shown or not.

How to move all soft button into the left coner

He was kind enough to leave the tablet UI in for us. Set it under rom control in settings.

I was using a custom ROM to move the navigation buttons but last week a few ROMs added swipe Ribbons. Follow this link for a Nexus 10 screen shot with a right hand Ribbon including navigation controls (this is not my screen shot). Ribbons default to auto hide.
With the right custom ROM and swipe Ribbons I always have a full screen with an auto hide navigation bar and notifications. You can just swipe down with one finger to have the notifications display at any time. There are multiple kinds of Ribbons and they are fully configurable (content, position, colors, autohide delay ... etc).
Check in the Developers threads to see which ROMs are supporting swipe Ribbons. I use Buttered +Aroma, follow the link in my signature. I have seen some bugs but for the most part they work well and have already become part of my daily-driver configuration.
My own set up uses a right hand Ribbon for navigation contols and Sidebar for left hand app shortcuts. I had already purchased Sidebar before Ribbons were available.

[Q] [QUESTION] Is there a way to move or re-arrange the statusbar elements???

As the title says, I'm looking for a way to move the statusbar elements, i wanna move the signal and WiFi icons to the left side (like on iOS), is there an xposed module or a tweak to achieve this???
Thanks in advance!!!
Hey can I just say it's kinda weird that this question is asked almost exactly the same way and verbiage on this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604483
Is there some weird trolling thing going on around the themes and apps section? Also I answered the question in that thread.

I think you have to decompile the system ui and edit it then push it back to system. There is a mod though for galaxy s4 that coverts the icons to ios style.
