[Q] need help with status bar - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys help me plz noob here...
My nexus 7 screen is broken from one corner . And I want to use it without the need to rotate every time. Fixing the rotation such that the broken part is on top left side of screen seems to be the best option but then I am unable to use the top status bar which is used for notifications. So is there a way that the top left notification status bar be shifted to other position or is it possible to get a different status bar which is single(like smartphones)??My device is rooted and curently running on CM 10.2.1 tilipia.
Guys please do tell me if there is another way to deal with the problem of partly broken screen like a custom ROM

Status bar

On the Status Bar at the top right of my A7 screen, there 5 items. One is the clock; next to that battery strength; airplane mode and then one I don't know what it is. Can someone help me and tell me what it is?
It looks like a small picture of the tablet with two little lines on left and right of it (something, maybe, to indicate movement or shaking).
Does anyone know what that is and where I could see the setting for that icon?
unknown icon
News to me. I dont have it on mine. Go into settings, applications l, running services and disaple things one at a time untill it goes away!
That icon means that vibration is on usually indicating sound is disabled (if you slid the wrong bar on the lock screen).
Yet another question that could have been answered by the manual...

Partial Cracked Screen Fix (without replacing)

The bottom of my N7 screen cracked but the device is still very usable. The bottom half inch will not respond to touch, but everything above that point works just fine! I'm hoping for a way to expand my navigation bar size, or bump it up to leave my screen blank under it.. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I have some $ in PayPal as a thanks. Any help as in a ROM that allows a Nav Bar Resize.. A way to move it to the top of my tablet screen... Some way I can put a google search bar under it or anything to waste that space. Thanks for ideas, hoping to save my N7 and keep it usable without having to rotate it everytime I need that portion of my screen!

I could have sworn I've seen navbar mods somewhere. You could always consider using PIE controls, however, if you want to remap them to the left/right screen edges.
Thanks for the quick reply. Pie Controls is a very useful work around for now. The app would be amazing if it let me choose exactly where on the screen I could pull up the navigation bar, but even without that option it is a great help!
I've seen some Mods but all of them seem to shrink the Bar, not enlarge it.
The reason I want to extend the stock navigation bar isn't just to be able to touch the buttons but it also pushes all opened apps, my home screen, etc up past that point that is cracked... So while playing a game or in my options menus I would still be able touch the bottom of my screen, just above the navigation bar (which I can't do now.) Basically, the top of the Bar is the bottom of my touch screen and it isn't high enough for me to use the entire screen =(

LMT Launcher is a pie control interface. It allows you to open from anywhere on the left or right and you can setup gestures as well with it to do the navbar functions. Look it up here on xda.

[Q][Request]Kitkat Mod to make soft keys bar and status bar transparent

I just updated my N7 to the new KitKat, the status bar and soft keys only become transparent in Google experience launcher home screen (need to install GEL mannually), but within the app it is still two black bars. As nexus 7's screen real state constantly blocked by these two bars (terrible in landscape mode especially), I was wondering if there is a mod (e.g. mod the systemUI) to make both bars transparent.
This is certainly achievable as I have seen Samsung tabs all have transparent status bar out of box, and in 4.3 there was CyanogenMod that made it transparent, but there is nothing like these for KitKat
I prefer this solution other than hidding the softkey bars (such as GMD) because i don't want to change GEL, and I know in the future , new apps will be able to leverage the new immerse fullscreen so this problem is completely solved, i don't want to affect that function, but in the same time, i want old apps still able to use more screen real states.
please let me know if there is a solution to make this possible.
Thanks everyone!
Any one has figured this out?

Thanks, but Google experience launcher only provide transparent status bar and softkeys on homescreen, not inside app
to make it work inside an app, need to deeply mod the system UI file, in 4.2 CM10.2 has done it before successfully!

You could use a launcher like nova. It allows you to add gestures to do certain actions. One of them is pulling down the status bar. You could for example make it so that pulling down anywhere on the screen when you're at the homepage, would pull down the status bar.

Location icon missing on status bar

Hi there...
Before to ask I must said that I have done a huge research and check every post mentioning status bar issues, I even look through the Home screens post and similar post where members where showing their home screens to check if I could see the location icon in any status bar.
I have a S7 edge with HydraRom 1.4, Xposed is installed and the Flat Style Bar Indicator mod is there too working wonderfully but, I can't get to manage to see the Location icon on the status bar when I activate it and I have try all.
I only use Location active when I go out in night time to do Astro Photography, together with some apps helps me to do the polar alignment of my tracking mounts. I want to see the icon on the status bar to be sure it is active without the need to unlock the phone and drag the status bar down to check, I am starting to be afraid it is not possible like the sync icon which is not showing neither but, that one is not bothering much.
Any help will be appreciated!!
