Tap notification bar to scroll to top in any app

Ever since my switch over to Android a few years back from my iPhone 3G, I've always been waiting for such a feature in Android that will give me the ability to tap the notification bar and instantly scroll back to the top in any app that requires scrolling. I've never once asked for this feature once until now. I've Googled it and it seems to be a rare topic. Do Android users know if this such feature? Because it seems like an easy concept and assuming wouldn't be difficult to incorporate a mod into Android... or would it?

Used to like that feature on the iphone a year back. But don't you think that it is also possible to just flung one time and the whole page goes up? In iOS the flings are not continuous. To me at least. I would love to have this though.

I agree, that's one feature that android is sorely lacking.

Yes, that is what I have to do now. But when I'm reading a long article, flinging up on the page 20 times gets old.

I think Apple would sue Google if that feature was intriduced to Android

I think the new Samsung Galaxy S 3 has an gesture with scrolls in any list to the top. You just tap the top of the phone twice.

It's weird that just few people care of this feature, which is very cool, I miss it so much

nope. i'd never use this if it were rolled into android. it seems very un-natural to tap the notification bar to go to the top. let iOS have this one....we don't want it anyway.

Well, some of us do. Seems like it would be something fairly easy to do with some dev knowledge.

So you would rather swipe over and over to reach the top of a loooonnng list rather than tapping the status bar once? Oooooooook.

you better try to experience this feature, then decide it's natural or un-natural.
in general, 1 side: users have to swipe many many times to come to the top of the page; another side: just a tap then done(just like the home key on PC) - smooth and easy. Think and compare

I'm loathing the new persistent lockscreen notifications on Lollipop! How to disable?

As the title says, I use mainly three apps which have continuous notifications on status bar (WatchOn, AquaMail and Call Recorder), at least that was the case on KitKat. But since Lollipop is released anything which creates a notification on status bar just echoes the same on lockscreen too, and there is no bloody way to disable them. It is extremely annoying as I just hate anything on the the lockscreen but the big arse clock and date.
So the query is rather straightforward, is there any way to disable these damn things? I am rooted obviously.
Thanks in advance.

Disabling only persistent notifications is my issue
I can absolutely relate, I have updated my n9005 to lollipop, but went right back to kitkat, after finding out that I cannot disable just the persistent notifications from the lockscreen. What is the point in having them on the lockscreen? They take away the space from new, and actually useful notifications from gmail, facebook, viber, etc. AND they also took away the quick launch option, as far as I have found... way to go sammy. Implement new features, but screw them up right away for no good reason... It's a shame really...

Well I don't know much but once again Samsung has nothing to do with this I think. This is how Google must have thought it would please us, well.
I could be wrong though.

I'm sorry, but as far as I know(only tried CM12, so could be a CM tweak) stock android has some toggles exactly to fix this issue: under notifications and sounds, you can not only toggle if a certain app is allowed to push you notifications, but also that you want all notifications from that app, or all but persistent, and it may be a third one: show only on the notification shade, but I'm not sure on this last one.
To sum it up, it's Samsung this time.

Okay, thanks for informing that. Need to know whether that's CM exclusive feature or standard Lollipop one. If it's standard LP feature then Samsung has messed up all right.

Usually you click it once and it's gone for good.

Some apps still don't display correctly such as Microsoft Remote Desktop when you tap for entire screen.
Pretty annoying really

Add me to the list of people who find this really irritating! I get it on all my (Nova Launcher) home screens, and in a selection of apps (haven't figured out yet why some apps show it and others don't).
Subscribing to the thread in the hope that somebody will figure out a way to make it go away!

This is quite simple actually:
Go to Settings, then display, then full screen and then toggle all apps to full screen and, voila!

But I don't want the apps full screen, and I have actually toggled them all to OFF in that setting.
Hence I'm annoyed at constantly getting a useless message on my screen.

I am not worried about those... Again some apps do not display correctly in full screen so therefore I don't want to place them in full screen but instead I'm pestered to do it, what was wrong with the bubble notification that came up before?

tap here to fill entire screen
same problem with google phone dialer as it doesnt support full screen...plz help..!how to get rid of tap here to fill entire screen.

For me it just disappears after a minute. For example kodi get stretched if using fullscreen and if I disable fullscreen it disappears.

hope that somebody found the solution

It only appears at new installed apps that are opend for the first time.. after clicking it it never reappears

Yes, this is definitley annoying to be constantly there, and for video apps that aren't optimized for full screen. Like MLB At Bat games are shifted to the left side of the screen with one black bar on the right and it just looks weird. I'd rather have black bars on both sides or at least be able to stretch it out to full screen.

I think the problem is that some apps will not show correctly in full screen mode so anytime I use the app in normal mode there will be a line show " Tap here to fill the entire screen "

Add me also here !!! so annoyed ! !

Add me too

So I am having this issue in Chrome which essentially gives you no back button when browsing. How stupid. So I just figured out that if I scroll to the bottom of a sight, sort of like the opposite of dragging a screen down to refresh, you drag it up from the bottom and you get a black semi circle thing show up. Click on it somehow while it appears and then you get the menu back, but it says double click the dot on the left to make it locked in.
And... it seems to have fixed it across all of my apps, not just Chrome! That's all I have for now.. hope it helps

How to completely disable NavBar on Oreo w/o root?

There is app that can completely disable NavBar, but it does not work on Oreo. Somebody can update this app?
p.s. Sure I know that I can hide it, but it is not that same as completely disable it.

Are you rooted?

Interested in this as well.
0pt.navbar.apk was perfect but doesn't seem to work with Oreo. Really hope somebody updates it else I doubt I will upgrade to Oreo.

No root for s8 snapdragon on Oreo yet. I would also like to get this working. Right now I have imersive mode on but the nav bar pops up when I swipe up and its really annoying. And yes I know I spelled that wrong.

The app we mean works without root (through accessability).
We might have to use the adb method to use a constant immersive mode if that 0pt.navbar.apk doesn't get updated to Oreo. Would like to stay away from that, though, because it causes some problems.
(btw, OP is most likely using an Exynos, as he seems to be from Russia).

Right, I have an Exynos version. All commands for adb that I have saw is for temporary hiding, like a stock feature (dot on the left side of navbar)

Does the navbar reappear when using this method and swiping up? What's the difference compared to the 0pt app from Tigerhood we're using?
Guess we'll have to wait for a dev to get on this. Hope somebody will.

Yes, navbar reappear when you swiping up (with stock feature or after applying an ADB command). 0pt completely disable navbar. It will not reappear when you swiping up.

There is an Xposed Module that you could try, something like Hide Navigation Bar

Update the title. With root there is a way to do this, but without root - not and I`m trying to find the solution.

Add this line to your build.prop in a root explorer.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

i tried that with Oreo beta 4. But after i added this line, i got a bootloop, thats why im still on nougat.

I also haven't found a working solution to the problem, and therefore returned back to Nougat. As of recently, Navbar seems to me like something totally obsolete. Fully disabled navbar + Home Bar Gestures app = pure magic. I really love this navigation experience similar to iPhone X. Don't see a point in Oreo yet. Almost no new features but a lot of mods and tweaks from Nougat do not work. Staying on Nougat and advising you to do the same. Peace!

System mods which is a substratum mod using Andromeda is in the works to get this feature but I agree Oreo isn't worth it.

I just want Oreo because it's smoother.. But yeah, the navigation is more important at the moment. Can't understand why not more people use swipe navigation.
Bump

Anyone found a way to disable nav bar , i just installed oreo and i am still searching for a way to do it

Hi guys i asked this dev for a mod to disable nav bar he needs that files i need someone to upload that my internet can't upload more than a picture , and i couldn't find res and tw-res because i am noob in this stuff i only found framwork.apk and the folder but no luck with other stuff, if someone has good internet and wants to disable nav bar can post here the files or send it to me or send it to him directly

I don't think it's the same as iPhone X gesture. But as seen in the video, it's kinda trash. Why use gesture to show the recent apps only? Still have to press home to go to homescreen. Still have to press back to go back. Still have the damn big black navigation bar. It just removes the recent button for nothing at all.

I looked into leaks and it seems to me that this is an alternative type of navigation, which you can enable in Settings. We will have to wait and see how it will be implemented. Hoping that it won't be default and the only type of navigation...

Hopefully soon we can get our mitts on it...

This isn't gesture. OnePlus Beta has had full gesture like iPhone X for many months now that works like iPhone. Basically, most of it is the 3 essential movements. Swipe up from bottom on the left side, go back. Swipe up the middle from bottom, Home. Swipe right side from bottom, menu.
I really like that feature before I switched to VZW and had to get a new phone the Pixel 2 XL.
Another good feature with OnePlus implementation, all of your apps use the full screen in this mode. No bars/space at the bottom, you actually have a fully usable display now and the apps fit it properly.
Some of the mods in a few custom Roms that allow navbar height adjustment, do that for some apps, but the bar is still there. Even a few of the swipe nav features don't make the apps fit the full screen.
That is how a true swipe function should work, your screen is fully usable to the bottom. Apps like Waze fit better adding that little bit to the screen real estate. And I got used to the swiping very quickly, had a hard time going back to the regular bottons on the screen.
Not everything Apple does/implement is garbage. This is one that makes sense, gives you more screen real estate, and is easy to adapt your behavior to. I'm tired of the big fat top/bottom space of the Pixel. OnePlus 5T and the new 6 are really a good example of how a phone should be made, slim near zero bezels, more screen space, and simple gesture features.

We can now sign up to beta lads one question though.. I've opted in... Will i get the beta thru ota on dp1? Or do i need to roll back to 8.1 ?

You will need to roll back.

So did they realize they killed two recent app button features they just added one or two android versions ago....being double tap to switch apps quickly or long press to enter multiwindow?

If I upgrade to the beta will I be able to roll back to stock on a Verizon Pxl2?

Hmm that's odd according to Google you had to roll back good to know though

Quick question: I'm stock, rooted, with TWRP installed on DP1. I just got refreshed and got the DP2 ready to download. If I take the update, it would just unroot my phone and remove the custom recovery right? Or would I have to do unroot/etc manually before updating in order to prevent issues?

Those features were not killed, just moved. To switch back to the most recent app just slide the pill quickly to the right from any screen - that's even easier than double tap. For multiwindow / split screen you swipe up briefly to get to the recent apps then each app has an icon in the center top that you can click to go into split screen or get app info.
