Is there a way to see the full watchface without notifications in either ambient mode or on the regular clock home screen without deleting all of the running notifications? This notification bar renders every analog clock completely unusable.
Thanks!

From what I read, not until Google releases the new api. There is nothing the developers can do.

Do any exist and what does it take?
Basically I'm envisioning the standard Android lock screen, except for the right slider. I don't use it for vibrate, so it goes unused.
So, I would like to replace the right side slider with a smart button that allows you to open notifications based upon what you have received.
If you have an unread text, it shows a text message icon and sliding it opens to your texting app. Same thing for Gmail. Obviously its possible to have more than one type of notification, so there would need to be some sort of hierarchy (say Texts > Gmail > Email > WordFeud > Facebook > etc) so that it only opens the most important to you. Users could choose like 3-5 apps that would work with it.
If you have no notifications, then it should default to a single app you use regularly, but does not necessarily have/need notifications (Camera, Google Reader, etc).
Changing the background color of the icon would also be a good way to help differentiate between the default slider, and one that would open a new notification. For example, on the current stock lock screen, the vibrate slider has a gray background. You could keep the gray background for the default app, but when you have a text or email, the icon would change to that app and the background could change to a specified color (say orange for a text, green for an email, etc).
In addition, I wouldn't mind having the weather on the lockscreen as well. Too often do I find myself having to unlock my phone just to check the temperature outside. Obviously the down side to this is having to poll for weather data, but it is something I'd be more than willing to live with. Especially if one could chose how often it updated (30 mins, 1 hour, 3 hours, etc).
I realize most of this can be done with Widgetlocker (or maybe Cyanogen), but honestly I don't like using it and it does not feel polished enough for me. So would something like this have to be baked into a ROM, coded from scratch or whatever? Are there any devs who do this kind of work? is this level of detail even realistically possible given the nature of Android? is this even the right forum?
Just saw the last part, but I think it's still your best bet.
Just curious why don't you like widget locker, it does everything you asked for?

Hello there,
I got the Note 3 N9000Q version and I'm still trying to figure out a few things.
On my previous device (HTC EVO 3D), I downloaded an app called Smart Statusbar so I could swipe down to reveal the notification bar when in full screen mode and chat heads would appear with the notification bar.
Touchwiz has the swipe down to reveal notification bar by default which is nice but it doesn't reveal the chat heads with it. I tried Smart Statusbar app but that also doesn't help. I tried Swipe statusbar with it. This time chat heads does appear but it has a mind of its own, sometimes it appears sometimes it doesn't.
My question is what does this all mean. Is there a Samsung limitation that interferes with Chat heads?
What can I do to make it work?
Sorry for the long post :/
Hey all, I'm looking for a weather app or module that will give me either a constant notification (like the google weather card but just needs to be constant) or sits somewhere in the quick settings (like the one integrated in CM12 is exactly what I would like). A lot of the apps I have tried do give the constant notification BUT they also keep an icon in the status bar which I am trying to avoid. A small handful, such as BrightWeather, offer the option to hide it and is the current one I am using so far. So does anyone have any suggestions on this?
I think amber has option for blank notification icon
Yeah it does, the only problem with Amber is that despite setting refresh interval to 3 hrs, I wakes my device a lot more often than that. I think it had woken to do something >15 times/hour. Tried to go through all the settings and not really sure what it was doing, but the battery drain was too significant
For years I have hidden the notification drawer on the top of the screen, most of the info there is duplicated in my widgets, and I just don't like the clutter. However with the V20, hiding the notification drawer also turns off my second screen...which then gets rid of one of the marquee features of this phone.
I've tried on multiple launchers (Nova and Next), and the same result. I've tried permanently hiding it, and using gestures to toggle on and off.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Any rooted users know if this is a problem after root? This one little problem annoys me to no end.
Thanks a lot.
I'm on a non-rooted Verizon V20.
There is a setting that might help that allows it to be active when the display is in fullscreen mode. It's meant for videos so it might not have full functionality.
I'm rooted and I get the same thing. I use Nova and the "toggle notification bar" shuts the second screen off along with the notification bar. I don't know why they're tied together like that, it's annoying...
The second screen's "show time while content is shown" option will leave it on with the notification bar toggled off, but it doesn't do anything, it just shows time and notifications up there. You can't scroll it to get to anything.
The yotacovers and the like are nice, but with the lack of a status LED (that I can find anyway) I would like to have all notifications updating on the e-ink display when the phone is locked? Is there any way to do this - just display the default android 5 lock screen on back?
I am using a YD201 with official LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.124d build.
Just go to the YotaHub and put the biggest Notification widget you can find, it's the only way.
Thanks, I had a look at them, but none will show me yahoo mail app, facebook/messenger, text and phone notifications simultaneuously. Perhaps I will feedback to YotaDevices it would be cool if the normal android lockscreen could be displayed on the e-ink screen this must be both desirable and fairly easy to do, given the quite clever way the e-ink screen is handled on this device.
IS a way to read in the dark on e-papper second display? It dosen't havea led background...
Yes there is a way, turn on a light, like you might do if reading a book. The reason these displays use less power is that they are not backlit and they do not require power to maintain the image.
