Move Statusbar Icons? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of a way to move the Statusbar Icons? I'm mostly wanting to move the signal cluster all the way to the left as I feel like it cleans the area up a bit. I have xposed and the only thing I can find has been discontinued by the developer.

Uhh, idk about a way with Xposed but I know some roms allow you to make similar changed. I use Dirty Unicorns and have a center clock, I'm sure Pure Nexus and a few others allow you to similar actions as well. I don't see a way to change the signal indicator location in Dirty Unicorns though.

It's Google now

it's only there when you're on your lockscreen.
It's there to activate Google Now
Can you imagine that this guy posted the latest CM nightly in the og dev subforum? Thread got moved to general pretty quickly since he isn't a CM Team member and the stickied rules state you can't post material you didn't make or for which you don't provide source. lol, "what is this circle thing"
Sorry that the above isn't helpful. I just don't think I'm going to forget the user name "theghazi" for a while.
Anyway, can you comment on what the other posters have said? Is it on your lock screen or in typical usage? You are probably referring to the Google Now shortcut. If you swipe up from a nav button, you can activate Google Now. I don't known what it could be on a lock screen. Could be the unlock threshold. I do to use a lock screen myself so I'm not sure what one even looks like.

Persistent notification to right side by battery?

Is it possible to make some app notifications show on the right side near battery, Wi-Fi, ect? Like an IM app that is always in the notification tray.
Thanks!

It's possible. But unfortunately I don't think there are any roms on there that is able to do that. Personally, I think it would look kinda weird if it was on the right side.

Can someone try this app for custom soft keys?

This app lets you customize the soft keys more than stock LG does. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz
It should let you add a Recents button etc. Lemme know if it works. Thanks

Try UDN Pro. It gives you ability to customize the keys to a bunch of preselected icons, lets you set your own background to the soft keys, transparency, height, etc.
It also gives you the ability to hide the keys, and make them visible with just a swipe up from the bottom of the screen. It looks great.

Thanks for testing it. Did you happen to try UDN pro as the other posted mentioned?

Hmm...it works, however the bottom of screen gets covered up when you hide the stock navbar because the screen is not pushed up. This is obviously because I don't want the navbar to ever hide. If I could somehow offset the bottom of the screen somehow...

Can you make it transparent so they don't block anything on screen? I might actually like that better than a black bar offsetting the apps. Just a thought!

Oh I see what you mean. I'm trying it now on my nexus 4 just to test it. I guess that's why it defaults to a touch or swipe to make it appear, and it hides itself after X seconds or when you interact with the screen. I sure wish it could offset the screen. I wonder if you can keep the LG bar turned on, but remove all the buttons? Is that possible to keep the navbar offset?

I doubt you can remove all the buttons from the stock nav bar. I'll just stick with the stock navbar for now until we get some themes and such for it.
You need to root.
I am using GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, it is pretty awesome. I bought it because it gives you a lot more features. It replaces the soft keys with the more normal Nexus keys (Back, Home, Recent). I have only been playing with it for about half a day and I am very happy with the features. Playing games, watching slingbox, reading kindle, watching mlb.tv all full 1080 hd is pretty much the tits.

Google experience launcher (gel)

Grabbed this plus the new search all from Android police. Launcher looks good, but I seem to lose knock on. Am i missing something or is it baked in the launcher?

For me, it still works, but not all the way. To turn the screen off, you have to knock on the status bar. Once the screen is off though, I can knock anywhere to turn it back on.

That is how knock on has always worked...you knock anywhere(normally towards the center) to turn on the screen and for me at least(ATT D800) you tap on the status bar to lock.
If you installed GEL wilk the LG transparent navbar and status bars go away? If not I might give it a try

With the stock launcher (at least for me) I could knock anywhere on a blank part of the desktop to lock it. I can confirm that knocking on the statusbar does lock it. Not quite as convenient, but not a big deal. Thanks to all who helped me figure this out.

Been running apex launcher since the day i got it... you can get knock on to work on your homescreen with apex if you download "Screen off" from the play store and from homescreen you can hit your menu key>>Apex settings>>Behavior settings>>Desktop double tap>>Launch app>>There will be two of them one is just "Screen Off" and the other is "Screen Off and Lock Configuration" just check the "Screen Off" hit ok and your good to go and the icon packs only make it better, sporting that 2.265 gHZ quad-core processor with adreno 330 its smooth sailing on apex and i experience no lag at all over all great experience with lots of customization to check out in the settings sadly no transparent nav or notification bars though... not a problem for me though

Request centre clock

Is it possible to get centre clock for android N it's the only thing I miss Lol
That's the only thing I'd like to change also. I saw a thread here and it looks like it's pretty simple change. That thread provides flashable zips. But with the stock recovery I don't think I can use them. More research required.
