Yeah I'm running Slimbean (based off CM). Hopefully 1.3 fixes it.
[Android Apps and Games] oddspec:
Just an FYI 1.3 works with slimbean on the gs4 the first version it works thx
[Android Apps and Games] Shmi117:
Yeah I know they added it, but it doesnt allow for the direct pulldown of the notification shade/quick settings. I tried 1.3, and it does not fix my problem.

Works Great!

Very useful. Works great with Nexus 4 with ParanoidAndroid 3.6+ (24JUN). I hoped it'd work with Fullscreen (Pie) but it seems PA does some weird things to notification area, but it's cool!
[Android Apps and Games] HansiHusten:
Yes, it vibrates.

Not working fine in nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] K&Q:
After last update, expanded desktop mode doesnt hide notification bar. But pie control is enabled. Is it supposed to be like this?

On galaxy w with cm10.1.
[Android Apps and Games] kobik77:
Great app.

Works well on GNex and have smaller RAM footprint (Like 1/4 less!) than Smart StatusBar+.

Can you add an option to show statusbar whenever there is a new notification?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] aelsharawi:
Sorry I didn't get that the program works with full screen app only.

But how to make it work with any app?
[Android Apps and Games] oddspec:
To work with any app u need to have the status bar hidden like how some ROMs support " expand desktop" which hides ur status bar 24/7 its what I use so everything is always full screen plus on past devices the status bar always had a small burn in after the first year
[Android Apps and Games] reveliano:
nice
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
I hope the latest version 1.3.1 (will be online in few hours) fixed this issue, please let me know
[Android Apps and Games] doomhendi:
cool nice work, dude! I can confirm: it works like charm with the latest slim Rom, as long as you deactivate 'hide statusbar' and activate the expanded desktop :)

I had a bug that the app kept on showing the triggerfield, like in the 'test option' but after I had turned the screen on and off, it was gone oO

edit: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. if you mess with the trigger options, it will work again.

edit2: as soon as you use an app which supports landscape mode, the statusbar app seems to forget it's trigger area. again, if you reset the settings, it's working again.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Excellent :)

From 1.3 version I added my "top secret" option for permanent visibility trigger area (press 5 times menu button in menu)...

I thought it had been fixed, on my device it is fine. There are two options how to solve it. Permanent notification or require ROOT, I do not know about other solution...
[Android Apps and Games] doomhendi:
hehe top secret, I see xD

note: I am currently using nova launcher with deactived rotation due to rotation errors in games

[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey,

Im just wondering if you're planning on implementing a feature where the statusbar is shown when there are notifications?

For example:Statusbar is hidden. When I get a gmail, Whatsapp or any notification then the statusbar will be visible until the notifcation is cleared (email read, whatsapp message read etc).
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Yes, but I have not much time for implementing new feature...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Ok, no problem. I have a bug where the blue bar stays on the screen all the time. It goes away when I disable the service.
[Android Apps and Games] doomhendi:
same problem.. am I wrong or did you link me the same version as the one [MENTION=5157841]Playstore[/MENTION]? oO (1.3.2)
[Android Apps and Games] dschense:
I can't use this on latest paranoid android rom ...:( I just get the vibration when swyping down but don't get the notification status bar.

Kaaaaatsching...
[Android Apps and Games] doomhendi:
that's exactly what slim Rom does, if you activate hiding of the statusbar ;) the only problem there is, that if the bar is hidden it will appear if there are notifications but you can't pull it down or make it show itself if you just want to check or enter the quick settings
[Android Apps and Games] :
I know. I tried Slim ROM but my device gets bad battery life on 4.2.2 ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] doomhendi:
ah axo ok ^^
[Android Apps and Games] OneChaos:
Lately it has not been working as it used to. Sometimes I just get the vibration but the status bar does not pull down. I have to go into the app menu and re-toggle the settings.

[Android Apps and Games] Harsha Raj:
Thanks a lot for this app! Expanded desktop + this app = my dream feature come true. Its quite fascinating to see the screen without status bar the all time.

Edit: I guess not able to swipe in lock screen when expanded desktop is active still applies? (just like how it was a limitation in this thread) Hope it can be fixed someway through your app.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
This is done by system, I can not do anything with this...
[Android Apps and Games] Harsha Raj:
All right. I got two more queries:

1. You have defined "area position" in your recent update with a slider to it. But the slider does not have any effect at all. No change in the blue mark on top of the screen.. So whats it actually supposed to do?

2. With the expanded active, when you swipe for the status bar to be seen on a app (which is not actually a full screen app), the status bar will take its place and app will align to the screen, then after the timeout the status bar disappears and the app will again take up whole of the screen. So was just wondering if this is fixed in such a way that the status bar will appear in non full screen app by not taking its place holder back, like how it appears in full screen app. Its more like a graphic glitch, no biggie.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
1. If you shorten area, position slider will have effect on the area position.

2. It is managed by system, I can not do anything with this. Showing status bar is problem, this feature is not supported by Android SDK.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
I updated app to version 1.3.3. Updated translation and bug fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] doomhendi:
Nnnnice bro! You did it - even in landscape mode it works like charm :good:

I first had the trigger-marker-bug again, but then I remembered your secret trick ;)

[Android Apps and Games] lukakas:
New update FC apps in fullscreen, logcat attached. View attachment logcat.txt

Also, one tap on area position show statusbar, I think it would better with swipe or it's a problem of less swipe sensibility.

Thanks for fix in non-fullscreen app.

Edit: Not FC but switch to SwipeStatusBar aplication when it's open.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
I do not get it. So when you swipe down in a fullscreen application it causes showing notifications and turn on application SwipeStatusBar?
[Android Apps and Games] lukakas:
Sorry for my bad english.

I swipe down in fullscren app then switch automatically to SwipeStatusBar application when SwipeStatusBar application is running on background (not service app)
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Which firmware do you have?

[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Thanks for it. If you are in the SwipeStatusBar and press home button, the app goes to background. At the first gesture I'm checking if the app is running and close it. But it seems like close not work on your phone. If you press back button in the app, system close it and it will be fine. I will try to find a solution...
[Android Apps and Games] lukakas:
Lol your latest update you made app auto close when I swipe down statusbar? xD

Anyway, no switch app anymore. Thanks so much, it helped.

Maybe in future you can make an option to adjust swipe sensitivity because I "tap" on the status bar area position and this show status bar.

1.3.5 works great on the htc one running sense 5 but the builds after that don't pull the status bar fully down. I tried with the correct option selected. It will pull down the status bar only and then you have to swipe down a second time to get the full pulldown. I'm fine with 1.3.5 anyway. Does all I need it to do.

This app is awesome. I'm running newest pacman android 4.3 with cm10.2 on my 2013 nexus 7 (flo) and it works well! Its a great app and just what I wanted.

Few suggestions tho, could u make it so that it just opens the status bar over top the app instead of shifting everything down. It would also b nice if we had option to not pause underlying app. Kinda like "smart statusbar" but actually work.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
I can do it (through option), because it is not compatible with all devices...
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
I added alternative mode. It increased compatibility (but does not works on all devices) and in some cases does not stop current application.

Hey what happened I thought u said that u were going to make a toggle so that the whole UI doesn't shift down. Do u still plan on doing the that?
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
You can try alternative mode. I can not control status bar itself, everything what I'm doing is something what force system to show status bar line. There is not any official method like showStatusBar()...
[Android Apps and Games] Drew_Breezy:
Oh ok. Is it possible to use a "fake" status bar similar to what a lot of the nav bar apps do, i think thats how smartstatusbar worked for 4.1

But anyway still a cool tweak. thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] trashbytes:
What about the auto pop feature you wanted to include? That would be neat.

I have moved this feature at lower priority. At the moment, there are not many people using this application and even fewer would use this feature... But if you know how to do marketing for free application, I will be very grateful if you would share it.

Hi

I'am using a Xperia S with PAC.

I would like to use pie notifications and a statusbar at the same time and i thought this app would be great to realize that. I installed this app and ticked "Enable SwipeStatusBar". It worked one time for me, but now the status bar doesnt dissappear. In fullscreen apps everything works like a charm, but everywhere else is a Statusbar, no matter if I'am in fullscreen mode or not. Even if I uninstall the app, there is still a status bar in fullscreen mode.

I hope you can help me with that problem.

witti

Edit: For some reason the fullscreen mode with visible statusbar was enabled in the power menu settings. Now it's working great :)
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Glad to hear that the issue is resolved, if you have any problems, just write.

Hi, I think this app is wondertful but it has too many wakelocks!!!! Here you can find an image of the number... About 2000!

[Android Apps and Games] cloud_strife84:
Oh ok. But it will check when display is turned on only or when is suspended too?

Can you make one-finger swipe from the right side of status bar to show quick settings also works under normal screen (no full screen app running)?

Thanks in advanced.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Fixed! When is display off, checking is disabled. Anyway, you can still see large number of wake up in WDL application (count of launch AlarmManager when screen is on).

Yes, you can show status bar by gesture only when foreground application is in fullscreen mode. Lately, I have not much free time, Maybe in future ;)

Hello [MENTION=539461]Thomas.[/MENTION]

[Android Apps and Games] gerhardo:
Thanks!

No I do not plan to put up an app on Google Play, but I would like put the project on GitHub.

There may be public releases too.

What license for the code GPL or Apache?

I added the project to git and converted to Android Studio.

I hope the source will be helpful, have not investigated yet.
[Android Apps and Games] gerhardo:
The app already supports something I was looking for: Permanent status bar.

Not intended for public use, but usable.

Edit: Not usable, Back is lost globally (not just button but also those injected with swipes etc).

Tap Menu 5 times to show developer settings, then Tick show Permanent, Recent Apps and swipe away SwipeStatusBar and the bar is permanent.

Should be possible to tweak the UI here and add an option: Only in Home screen.

An app shortcut to toggle would be nice too.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas.:
Licence is GPL. Permanent visibility is only for me when I need tweak settings. It just show blue bar at top.
[Android Apps and Games] gerhardo:
Added to GitHub

https://github.com/gerhardol/SwipeStatusBar

No changes committed, just migrated to Android Studio, adding GPL headers.
[Android Apps and Games] kuronosan:
This is excellent gerhardo!

Any plans on updating it for KitKat compatibility? :D
[Android Apps and Games] gerhardo:
This is discussed elsewhere too, a summary in this thread.

SwipeStatusBar (the version in Play included) works fine. Most KitKat ROMs do not need it though, due to the Immersive mode in KitKat.

Umeox Smartwatches has a need for a statusbar pulldown, as the StatusBar is hidden in all apps except for the stock launcher. The way this is done is some custom change to the AOSP, I have not seen it in the code drop that exists (may be Mediatek generic). Other apps fail but the "Alternative Mode" can pull the statusbar in 4.2 ROMs.

For KitKat, SwipeStatusBar works in itself, not Alternative Mode. Increase the vibration to feel when the app tries to pull down the status bar. However, the Umeox modification is quicker to revert the pulldown in KitKat, so pulldown normally fails.

I have been doing some work with the code and tried to tweak it. (This also involves build changes, like building with Android Studio etc). However, this app is not able to trick the Umeox changes.

I have added App Shortcuts that can pull the status bar in Alternative Mode though, if anyone is interested. (The handling is not working for normal mode yet.)

If someone is interested, I could make a build available.

The original problem with the statusbar can be addressed with XPosed module GravityBox in KitKat (GravityBox did not work in 4.2), so there is another workaround.

The Swipe code has helped me to understand the original problem. Thanks to [MENTION=539461]Thomas.[/MENTION] for supplying it.

I need a longer cord around 10' and every cord I've found will not charge at more that 400mA when hooked up to a 2.1A charger. I'll plug a 3' cord and get 1900mA charge out of it. Does anyone know of any cord that will work and provide a decent charge at the 10' length?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillion:
The voltage drop for really small AWG conductors is consistent with your findings.

Usb 2.0 cables can use 28-AWG for data and power transmission [MENTION=1989751]400[/MENTION]mA at 5 volts at a distance of 10 feet with a 5.3% drop in voltage.

That is to say the voltage drop is too large over the distance you want with the standard 28AWG USB cable for the charging current you want.

You need a speciality cable.

I know they make 20AWG (power) and 24 AWG (data) USB extenstion cables at 10 feet.

For these cables the voltage drop is typically no more than 3.97%

So 5 volts would give roughly 4.8 volts at 1.9A at 10 feet using thr 20AWG power conductors.

If the charger or phone can sense the voltage drop it will auto regulate and pull only the amperage that will keep the charger voltage near 5 volts... and not burn things.

Thus a 28 AWG cable will cause the devices to use a much lower amperage... for the reasons discribed.
