In-laws are here so it's hard to do videos but ANYWAYS...
I absolutely have to have toggles in my notification bar. I think that's where they should be. My last phone was a Note 2 with CM10.1.
This program gets the job done. After I root the device, I'll get rid of the power saver notification.
EDIT:
Added removal of power saver notice video (root required)...

so i downloaded the gesture controll app on my iconia so i could hide the status bar on ICS with the ics locked bootloader and it works flawlessly... well almost flawlessly... when i do the three finger slide upwords on the screen the status bar dasapers. great huh. but it gets rid of my wallpaper... its the lite version of the app. any fix for this? i tryed to reapply it but it stays black. any help would be great
The app info says that's a known bug on all ICS devices, and will be fixed as soon as the dev actually finds a fix.
An easy workaround is to simply never show/hide the system bar while you're on the home screen. If you, say, hide the bar to watch YouTube videos, and then put the bar back before you leave the app, your wallpaper will (almost all of the time) not reset.
I have these both on my Skyrocket and I'm wondering if they are available for this yet? Standard battery icon with the percent over it, and toggles to turn wifi, Bluetooth stuff like that on and off in the pulldown nav.
Also I know I've seen it somewhere. But a mod to force the menu button to always be in the bottom navigation bar?
I can post a picture if you want to see what I mean.

Power Toggles can pin a toggle bar to the notifications pull down, will also show a percentage icon.

That is great, but it doesn't actually automatically toggle like GPS on or off just takes me to the screen to check or unchecked it myself. And though it does show the percentage, I don't think its 1% and definitely not as clean as if it replaces the stock battery icon on the right side.
Also anything for the menu key?

Have you tried 1tap QuickBar for the navigation bar toggles?
Oh man I'd kill for a menu key that's always on. The 3 dots from up and down kinda menu key!
I can't believe a developer hasn't created this yet.
I love the desktop lock feature of adw launcher. But my 4 year old will still accidentally pull down the notification panel and change settings.
So there has to be a way to add an in-memory app that prevents the panel from being pulled down.
I still want to be able to see the status bar, but just not be able to pull down the panel.
I know it's possible because I have widgetlocker and it prevents it from the lock screen.
Please put your development skills to the test!
I am stock; not rooted; and have both ICS Droid 4g, and GB Incredible 2.
Try GMD Gesture Control. With a gesture or on an app-active basis you can hide the notification bar, which in this case prevents the drawer from being opened. You still get an auditory notification, and if you're near another gadget, there are ways to get notified via browser, a backup phone, tablet, and in not too long, TVs & watches, too.
So glad to *not* hear "you" sent your boss a "drunken" nonsense text! It was the coloring apps combined with the incomparable, phone-endangering frustration (not mine) that got me to spend the $5.
adw launcher can already hide the status bar, thus locking the notification panel. But I want an app that let's me see the status bar but locks the panel (just like widgetlocker lockscreen does).
Any dev out there that can make this for me?
I know with my N5 I had constant problems with the "butt dial flashlight" and on of the reasons I got a N6 is that I wanted to eliminate that problem and indeed it was successful. Now with the 6P this morning I noticed my pocket was getting hot and I took the phone out and the flashlight was on.. How do I disable the flashlight as I never use it anyway and if you ever saw a battery sucker it is the flashlight?
Assuming you're talking about the quick launch icon in the notification shade, turn on System UI Tuner (hold down the settings gear in the shade for a few seconds and it will start to spin under your finger (hard to see). Then go into settings and at the very bottom it will say System UI tuner. You can then customize what icons are shown in the shade.
Ok what is "notification shade" .. does phone need to be rooted as I held down the settings gear for at least 9 seconds on the screen that shows things such as bluetooth, airplane mode, auto rotate, Location.. etc and I never got the setting wheel on the upper right near the percentage of battery and nothing happened, but my 6P is not rooted?
Your phone does not need to be rooted, but you do need to keep your finger very still as you're pressing on the gear icon. It took me a couple of tries.
if you have OK GOOGLE enabled...
"OK Google, turn off flashlight".
I'm serious.
You don't need to be rooted. Maybe have developer settings turned on in the first place?
"To enable System UI Tuner in Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview 3, pull down your notification shade and long-press on the Settings gear icon for up to 5 seconds. Once you let go, you should see a pop-up with the message “Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings.†And as that message suggests, you can head into settings, scroll to the bottom, and find an option for System UI Tuner."
Once enabled you will see a small wrench next to the gear icon in the notification shade.
Notification shade is the pulldown menu where you notifications appear, and where the quicklaunch icons are.
As @Zlatty said, you might need to turn on Developer Options first (but the Droid Life guide doesn't mention it). To enable this, go to Settings > About and tap on Build Number 7-8 times until it says "You're a developer!".
Will this stop it from going on or does it just shut it off once it it on?
OK I was able to access that screen and flashlight icon was pale with a diagonal line through it but all that tells me is that it is off as I did nothing to disable PERMANENTLY the flashlight that I know of ??
Yes that worked but you have to know it is on.. I want it never to go on.
@painfree Click and hold on the flashlight quick launch icon in the System UI tuner Quick Settings and drag it down to the trash to delete the icon from your Quick Settings/Quick Launch.
fury683, thank you that worked it is removed.
I tried to find answer but its either impossible or either I cant search properly so here is my problem.
After I enable battery saving in G6(Oreo. not rooted) I get battery icon present in top left corner of the bar and also on lock screen there is message informing me battery saving is on. So is there a way to have battery saving on but without all those things that remind me about it all the time ? Only way I have found so far is to swipe message on lock screen to the right and I have two options, one of them has clock icon and after pressing on it it gives me option to put this notification to "sleep" for max two hours and after clicking it all battery saving notifications are gone but they come back after this 2 hours apparently. I dont even know if this option puts notifications to sleep or battery saving is disabled for those 2 hours. So is there a way to have battery saving on but without any reminders/notifications ?
Thanks for any help
The only solution I found is to make the notification as non-intrusive as possible. If you tap and hold on the notification, you can go to "All Categories" and set the "Status" category to low priority. You can even prevent the notification from showing on the lockscreen. If you did everything right, there shouldn't be an icon on the status bar.
Keep in mind that this also affects all other SystemUi notifications that fall under the "Status" category, and there's no way around this.
On the current version of Android (10) if you swipe your screen from the top down you will see the Battery Saver is On notification. If you press and hold this notifcation you will see: Silent notifications / System UI / Status: These notifications can’t be modified.
