More specifically, I would like to make heads-up notifications look like the ones inside the notification center, since I think they take up too much space. I can't put pictures into posts yet, so I apologize if you don't really understand what i'm trying to do.
Thanks for any help!

Basically my idea is this (feel free to take it and profit off of it in the android market):
Basically what I want is to have a dancing Kirby icon in my notification bar. Like use up 3 spaces on my notification bar and have him walk back and forth and do a little dance and such. He would disappear when a real notification comes in and reappear when the notification was addressed. And then be able to change him to any character I can make icons for...like mega man!
So...is writing Android apps hard? I am a TOTAL noob at this...I'm not expecting any comforting answers
Also, if you pull the not. bar down, you can touch the running app to load the app. where you can change the character, download more characters, or just turn it off!
How much do I need to pay a developer to make this for me!? hell, he could just charge for it on the market and I'd pay for each character!
---------------
Well I've never developed anything in my life other than a webpage in HTML....so I guess I'm going to have to learn how to manipulate someone else's code to do what I want it to. That being said, my friend and I will attempt to somewhat half-ass learn how to make android apps (but not really) to accomplish my dream app!
What I need from you guys is a link, or some kind of direction to head in. I feel the easiest way to make a notification bar with a dancing Kirby on it is to take the preexisting code from some random "SMS Faker" app and rewrite it to show a picture of Kirby instead of a postcard, or a picture of an envelope. And I'll try to figure out how to make the app send updated pictures to the not. bar (like a new txt will change the icon to a picture of an envelope with the number 2 over it...then 3...then 4 as new txts come in)
But in this case the 2,3,4 would be different sprite images of Kirby in various stages of dance! I will need to figure out how to make the app send these updated pictures in constant rapid succession so as to make it look like kirby is dancing at full speed, instead of at ... idk...1 fps.
So...anybody got some SMS Faker code laying around I can mod?
---------------
How do I change that envelope to be ANY picture I CHOOSE?! And what such a line of code would look like?
Refer to included picture for this one.
Hey guys. I've used a couple of ROMs and still cannot find one with 4 specific things that I look for in a modified version of 4.2.2/4.3 Android.
1. Brightness Slider on Notification Drawer Pulldown
2. Screen off music track change with Volume Buttons
3. Toggle Widget on Notification Drawer.
4. Dark/Black theme toggle switch in Settings.
If anyone can provide some assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
IBTL!
These types of threads are frowned upon dude; asking for ROM with.....
You can find what you're looking for by, well looking for it.
Use search it's your friend.
Try a few things out. Then try a few more..
Good luck.

Look, I get it, and I'm not trying to be rude, but if I could magically search for all these features in a ROM, I would. I've used over ten ROMs and no luck. It wastes my time. Why is it a bad thing to rely on the experiences of others? That's what we do every time we do a Google search. We explore threads with people asking questions. Not to mention, this question could also help someone else looking for these things.

As above person posted, this thread will eventually get closed due to the fact that every person had their own wants and needs. So its a matter of trying and if you cant find any then idk really. But 1,2, and 3 can be found in dubbsy's rom and you can used xpose mods to do such thing and I havent had any problems with it. And your fourth request can be done yourself. Just got to know how to theme and change pngs and such.
Please have a look at my new app Now Cards for Zooper. I've used tsasker integration to make some of the widgets more unique - there's auto updating news widgets (more feeds will be made on request) and one which shows you your latest text message.
They're alongside calendar, weather, clock, etc. widgets. Take a look and make sure you read the description before you download. If you've got any problems, just post and let me know.
EDIT: The free version now contains a facebook widget too! (post 10 for pictures). This will stay as 4x1, but this, alongside a 4x2 and 4x3 will be coming to the paid version in the next few days
Paid version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.est1994.zwskin.nowcards
Free version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.est1994.zwskin.nowcards
Very cool idea, few questions.
Is this a "Google Now" replacement?
Its almost identical to "Goolge now" , whats the advantages of using Zooper and Tasker?
Could you add other buttons and functionality to the cards aswell?
- like say the incoming text card, can you add a reply button? that would pop up a reply text box etc?
- Or a card that has the ability to show current sound volumes? or the ability to change them from card?
- If you could add other app info like facebook (probably insane to get configured) it would be an awesome "Launcher" type of app etc.
Are you allowed to post links to paid apps on xda? Cant remember the rules (Current)
other than those, looking great! good luck.
Thanks for the support! Its kind of intended as a Now replacement, I love having Google now built into the Google launcher, but can't deal without any customizations, son its really intended for people with similar ideas.
Using Tasker gives a lot more options in terms of what can be displayed! Many things from the internet and almost any stat from your device can be displayed oince you combine the two - tasked is a lot more powerful than Zooper.
Unfortunately some if what what you're asking is still a little out of range. Things which involve interaction such as volume sliders or a functional reply box are not do-able from my app, however, you could create your own tasked scene and launch it as an OnTap action on the widget. I'd love to bundle this with the app my pself but I've found that Tasked scenes do not translate well across changes in screen size. I could definitely add one for current volumes though if you wanted? And anything else you might like? I will look into Facebook tomorrow, but its late here so I need some sleep!
And I'm not sure about posting paid links, I meant to double check the rules before posting but totally forgot! I didn't hear anything last time I did it though so fingers crossed
EDIT: I couldn't resist having a quick look - Facebook notifications can (and will) be made as a widget, but actual feeds cannot
These look great! But I am unclear as to when these show onscreen...are they always on widgets or just popup when info arrives? Thanks
They are all always on. Everything always has information to display! Are you asking more specifically about the Tasker widgets? If so, tasker collects information every 2 hours by default, with each collection gaining 5-7 stories (depending on provider). Only one story is 'given' to Zooper at a time, with the displayed story changing every 30 minutes.
I hope that answers your question?
I know this may not be exactly what you had in mind, but here's a Facebook widget I knocked up. There's also a 4x2, but that's just a shorter version of the large one. What do you think?

Looks great. Upon pressing it. Takes you right to Facebook?
To me flip book is annoying. But . I'm looking for a "sense" type of home page. You ever seen HTC sense home pages? If you could make the boxes a transparent black etc. Lol I love the Google now aspect, but their new material colors are... Not what I like. Lol but that's a great start. Smaller font perhaps.
Thanks for the feedback I thought about smaller fonts, but I wanted it wall to be readable at a glance and to follow Google as much as possible, but yes, clicking on the FB widget could take you straight to Facebook, but I've left all the shortcuts blank so you can pick where you want it to take you, possibly the notifications page directly?
If you send some HTC sense pics, maybe I'll think about making some wpof their widgets at some point too?
I decided to do a free version of this too - its got all the 4x1 widgets, but with none of the tasker integration or 4x2 widgets, so you can still get a good effect. Follow the link to grab it! Lasker

Here's the new facebook widget, submitted to the free version already and coming to the paid version soon!
Greetings people,
As TW Lollipop has landed, most of the devs have been trying to brew ROMs for the people, and unfortunately there is no control as what MODS should be included, i have found it terribly difficult to choose a ROM as it didnt feel normal to use mods that made no sense (or at least have a minority audience).
Particularly,what annoys me a lot, is dealing with the mods that change the visual space available, now there is no need to blame devs here at all, but rather Sammy should be here to blame for just trying to make a normal UI into a complex useless UI in to their own, and they have effed it up with the new Notifications Drawer.
While i noticed a lot of devs have found options/parameters to change the view of the notification drawer, a lot of ROMs include a very annoying feature called Quicklaunch, however im pretty sure a lot of people like it. While Quicklaunch in my personal opinion sucks, it looks way better compared to S-Finder and Quick Launch buttons. I personally lack any kind programming/scripting skills, but luckily, thanks to a nice dev called @alfaroolg with a similar taste, he brewed it for me straight away.
This is what i planned on seeing:
Remove S-Finder and Quick Connect
Remove 3minit Quicklaunch
Remove the Brightness Bar
Currently, im on @g00h s Note 4 Port, which makes me believe that the Brightness Bar is not removable anymore as i could not find the setting on either the Display settings or Notification Panel editor, HOWEVER, the brightness bar disappears if under 5% battery so you cant push the brightness up, and to my surprise, found out sammy screwed up adopting to the Lollipop rules.
This is how it looks without S-Finder/QuickConnect and Quicklaunch: First Pic
This is what happens with the same configuration, under 5% battery after the Brightness Bar disappears: Second Pic
And to my surprise, if there are any Notifications going on, things return well: Third Pic
Is this a general issue Sammy mustve skipped? quite an eye catcher. Also, the area where the brightness bar disappears, usually Notifications get the place, and the first Notification is not Swipeable, i end up clicking the notification rather then removing it, and it can result in very unpleasant moments.
Hello all!
I'm coming from a s5 mini and the one thing I was really sad to let go was the notification led. It's a great feature and I really miss it.
Always on display can do somewhat the same thing, but not that good. I often leave my phone on a table and walk around and I want to be able to just glance at my phone and see if I have any notifications. Yes, always on display shows notification, but it has a clock and 2 lines of text above them, making it harder to distinguish if you actually have notifications from some meters away.
I was thinking if I could change the color of notifications. The clock could stay white, but have a green notification for a miss call for example, that way the notification will pop out and catch your eye.
Also it would be perfect if I could assign different colors for different apps, that way it would act like the beloved notification led..
thats not possible for now but if it interests you heres and an apk that will make aod display notifications only , just install choose analog reboot and its done https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlNdpKNMp2XWkYY01k9kg3-Ax78rjg

thank you, thank you, thank you :good:
I just found this thread. That sounds exactly what I want - I dont want the AOD on all the time - just to give me notifications.
The link above is now dead - Any chance it could be made available again?
EDIT: Probably should add - would this work on an a5 2017 running Oreo?
after quite a lot of searching i found the original thread about it , just scroll down a little until you see downloads and select just notifications , but there are more greatt aod things there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/root-customise-display-updated-t3688153
edit: doesnt work on oreo
Ok thanks. I have oreo. Doesn't seem to work.
