[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
This package places the status bar on the bottom, add soft buttons to the status bar and remaps home button to toggle the status bar on and off for applications that don't normally display the status bar.

I would like to thank rookie1 for the buttons on the status bar and Samuelhalff for help moving the status bar to the bottom and the notification button.

Version 4-10-11

Changed home button back to the defaults

Created a separate app for toggling the status bar called Status Bar Toggle. This app will allow you to toggle the status bar by just tapping the app once or by clicking on the notification.

Removed the status bar service feature from Nookie-Froyo Utils. It is in the new app.

Added QuickDesk app.

If you configure QuickDesk app to open with double click, then you can put the new app there to toggle status bar.

Version 4-7-11

Long press home button toggles the status bar

Renamed NookColorUtils to Nookie-Froyo Utils

Long press menu displays search

Added a service to Nookie-Froyo:

This service does not force the status bar to be displayed. To force the status bar to be displayed, long press the Home Button; long press again to turn the feature off. If you are in an application when you do this, the status bar will not be displayed until you exit the application and relaunch it. This service was added to overcome this limitation. When the service is running, a long press of the Home Button will cause the status bar to update by placing an icon on the status bar and sending an Ongoing notification to the notification window. The result is that the status bar will appear without requiring you to exit the application. This icon and notification will also serve as an indicator that the status bar is being forced to be displayed. Long press the Home Button again and the status bar will disappear in applications that do normally have the status bar."

Version 3-31-11

Cleaned up the icons

Change the height of the status bar to 32px

Fixed an issue to make the status bar display properly at 200 Density

NookColorUtils.apk 3-27-11 Version 0.2.0

I added a tab to force or not to force the Status Bar for Runtime

If you already have it installed, uninstall first.

adb install nookcolorutils.apk

I will add this to the next zip release

Version 3-27-11:

I've add the capability to force the status bar or not. Just add the following line to /system/build.prop not force the status bar

sys.force_status_bar=false

or to force the status bar to always show,

sys.force_status_bar=true

I will come up with a graphic app to do this in the near future. Until then, you will have to edit /system/build.prop manually.

Version 3-26-11:

Cleaned up the the top bar on the notification window by removing the grap handle

Long pressing home now behaves the same as long pressing the physical button

The buttons on the status bar now gives feedback (Orange glow)

The icons look kind of ugly. Does anyone want to take a crack at making some icon? Wretchedlocket? They need to be 42x28. Two icons per button. One normal and one for pressed (feedback).

Version 3-24-11:

Force status bar to be always present

Got rid of the weird flick up to bring the expanded status bar down

Brought the the buttons closer together.

Changed the order of the icons on the left (Thanks wretchedlocket, you saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what file determined the order of the icons.)

Version 3-23-11:

FC issue for the browser and the dolphin has been fixed! Network location is working again.

Got rid of the ugly buttons

Version 3-22-11:

Moved buttons to the right.

Expand status bar button now toggles.

In the works:

Push up brings the bar down. Needs to be fixed.

Make the status bar black.

Version 3-20-11:

Status Bar moved to the bottom.

Notification Bar expands up and collapses down.

Notification button added to the status bar.

In the works:

Push up brings the bar down. Needs to be fixed.

Make the status bar black.

Version 3-18-11:

Escape, Menu, and Home buttons on the left side of the status bar.

Messages and Icon are center vertically on the status bar.

Notification drop down full screen for all LCD densities.

Flashable version is for the eMMC. I don't have an SDCARD version yet. Look in the zip if you want to manually copy the files. Copy both /system/app and /system/framework.

Version 3-19-11:

Put in working Browser.apk. You will need to tap the address bar quickly then open another page, this wil give you time to set the homepage.
