[Q] Notification Bar Broken (looking for workaround)

Well, I have a weird problem I have never seen before. My notification bar area has lost touchability. I know, this sounds weird. In other terms, I have lost the touch function of the top ~1 cm of the screen.
I have tried wiping everything possible, changing roms, kernels, recoverys; nothing helps. I have officially given up on making the top bar work. Oh and I might note that I am out of warranty and Sprint will not help.
So now, here comes my question: Is there any app that lets me perform a gesture while inside any app to open my notification bar? Something similar to wave launcher but for opening the notification bar.

If you are on CM7, you can use the Tablet Tweaks under Cyanogenmod Settings to move the status bar to the bottom -- then you can swipe it from there.

So part of your screen failed...get it fixed... better than a workaround

Why are you out of warranty? They know you're rooted? You should have a 1-year manufacturer warranty from HTC.
Also, if you use 3rd party launchers such as ADW and LauncherPro, you can change your swype down gesture. For example, you can make a swype down on the homescreen open the notification drawer.

If you've taken it to Sprint & they've refused to fix it, try a different store. Unroot first, of course.
You could always flip the phone to landscape and pull it down from there. I hate auto-rotate, but that's just me.
Also, in slightly older versions of MIUI, the "recent apps" window was part of the notification area. I really liked being able to long-press the home button, then swipe left/right to get to notifications/toggles. It was especially handy in an app where the notification bar is automatically hidden. I believe the last build to include this was 1.4.8, everything since has a separate window for recent apps. If you like MIUI, you could try 1.4.8 or before.

Hack/Mod for disabling Quick Pulldown notification toggles on Oxygen?

I know there is no setting on Oxygen to disable the Quick Pulldown, and its driving me absolutely insane. I am constantly pulling it down because I use my phone one handed a lot, and use my thumb to pull down the notification shade which is on the right side of the screen!
There is a setting in GravityBox that allows you to disable it, but it only works on stock android and CM variants. It does not work on Oxygen. Has anyone found a mod, Xposed module, text file to edit, ANYTHING, that will allow the disabling of this major annoyance?

So happy to see this question, then saw there was no reply
This does my head in also!

Hi,
I have the same issue also my little son uses Quick Pulldown in lock mode to access the guest account and delete the photos and other items.:silly:

It annoyed me too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...t/xposed-oneplus-2-oxygenos-specific-t3242085

Someone posted an xposed mod to disable it. Check out development section

How to make navigation bar transparent in all apps all the time [ No ROOT ]

There has to be an easy way to make the navigation bar be transparent in all apps. I have used immersive mode in all apps before but I find it annoying having to swipe up all the time plus some of the apps dont behave well having this mod enable.
I have seen many threads going back to 2015 but no concrete answer on how to get a transparent nav bar. Now basically all I want is to archive something like the screenshot I inserted in this post. As you can see in this marshmallow version of android, when opening the app drawer the nav bar is transparent and the icons have a dark shadow in case the background of the app is white.
Is there an easy way to archive this look in Samsung S8? I am aware of xposed app. but is requires root. Is there a way to do this unrooted?
Apparently I cannot submit images since this is my first post. Just copy and paste on browser to see the images I am referring to

You can achieve that with Nova Launcher. Full version of the app is paid but I believe Dock settings are available even in the regular version.

I've researched this same topic pretty heavily and just like you haven't found a concrete answer. I'm pretty sure root is going to be needed though from what I have read. System ui needs to be modded from what I understand. ADB has come along ways without root permissions so who knows, it may be possible without root. I've tried various ADB commands with no luck so far.

I did the reverse (sort of). Installed Softkey Edge application and then enabled immersive via adb command and loved it since because I want to maximize screen real estate and the navbar gets in the way

SystemUI / Good Lock etc.

Hi all,
A newbie question to the Android experts. I have read in many forums that a rooted device is needed in order to change and/or customize status bar icons. However, Samsung Good Lock app was able to do this on an un-rooted device. Good Lock app provided AOSP status bar icons and I loved it. The stock Samsung network and WiFI icons are super hard to see and quite frankly ugly. The wifi icon is half the size because of the ridiculous up/down arrows underneath the icon.
I have been looking for a replacement app like Good Lock but no luck. I tried Status and Material Status apps but they are buggy and don't work all the time. More over, they render another status bar on top of an existing one.
How was Good Lock app able to do this on a non-rooted device? I presume it was able to replace the SystemUI?What does it take to build an app like Good Lock? Anyone knows how it was accomplished or if it's possible?
Thanks for your time.

Is there a way to hide the status bar by adb command?

Just like the title says I would like to hide the status bar by adb command. If anyone knows the command for it please post. The one for the 7pro doesn't work.

Figured I'd update this
I found somewhat of a solution. There's an app in the playstore called fullscreen mode tool with keyboard support. It's the only app that enables the immersive status bar where the keyboard won't cut into the input box. The only catch is when bringing up the keyboard the input box does a slight jump. To me this is better than burn in from status bar icons. My 8 pro has had the image retention issue with the status bar and I don't want it to lead to burn in which is why I'm going through all this trouble. Hopefully OnePlus can push an update with burn in protection built into oos cause as far as I know there is none.

Hey there, did you get this to work on a Oneplus 8? I just got one and have been trying a few different methods but my status bar persists.

If you want to prevent burn in by removing the status bar icons then just turn off all the toggles under status bar menu within settings. It's called icon manager.

Wouldn't immersive mode remove the status bar?

Where is it ?
I tried system ui tuner it didn't work surprise surprise. Then I ended up just ( thank God that option is made available stock ) going into settings and turning off each status bar icon , so now there's nothing there.

Immersive is broken on 11 for OP8 series devices. I've done some digging and they do something weird in the systemui and it persists the statusbar.

Nova launcher canhid it on home screenonly.
