Notification Settings (Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc...) Can these be customized? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is there any way to modify these?
I don't have 4g in my area, so I'd like to change 4G to Brightness Control.
It would be really nice if we could change these to settings we want.
Would this require root AND could it be done?

wait for root for that..BUT here's a awesome thing.. pull down the notification bar just a bit and the status bar area (where your 3g bars, clock, battery icon etc) become an invisible brightness control bar.
so ie. put your thumb in the middle of the notification bar area, slide the notification bar down just enough that it appears and then slide your thumb left or right along the status bar area.

Notification bar disappears on Jelly bean as notification center is dropped down??

Hey guys, I know I might be a little picky, but here is my question.
In Jelly bean, the notification bar disappears when you drop down the notification center which only displays the date/settings option and ofcourse the notifications you might have. Notification bar works just fine on the lock screen and mainscreen, however, my theme does not permit me to make it visible on the mainscreen. This was not a problem on ICS, as the notification bar showed up just fine even with the notification center dropped down.
Is there a solution to this? I would really like to see my notification bar with my drop down center at the same time.
not to be nit picky, but notification center is the iOS copy of the notification panel from android.
Anyways, yes, it does make your notificaiton bar disappear, which is annoying since you dont see your signal, battery level, etc. I havent see anyway around this yet.

Where did iOS randomly come from? lol.
But yes, now we are unable to see signal, battery % etc from the notification drop down.

How are you able to get the notification panel to work on the lockscreen?

Right now my phone is not locked, that's why. But that is not the point, regardless of that I can still see my notification bar (signal/battery etc), I just want that notification bar to be shown when you have your notification center dropped down (this was normal on ICS, but they removed it in JB)

No one knows if there is a fix D:!?

Why does it need to be fixed? You can't live without battery or signal bars for few seconds?
well its a simple reason why they did this. with the notifications pulled down, you don't need to be looking at the top bar because all the notifications are in front of you anyway. and the date and time is also visible in the new notification shade as a bigger font.

What is the point of using Android then, if you cannot customize it to your own personal preference? I just want it to be more convenient. Especially since the only time I can see my notification bar is on the lock screen.....

Well it's not like its going to cause a huge problem if they left the bar as it was in ICS and every other android OS..... I don't particularly care about the date and time, I just want the wifi/3g signals to be clearly visible with other graphic notifications which don't show up in the notification panel drop down.
If u look closely the notification tray actually drops down and on top of the status bar and is partially transparent on the bottom half of the header.. so I think the answer is yes, in time maybe someone will do a fully transparent status bar header(hopefully getting rid of the second clock for my ocdness). Or something...

Yeah I just hope some one has a fix for this soon. I didn't see any reason for them to remove it in the first place.
I did not notice this until you pointed it out... How long do you stay with your notification bar down?

If you read the previous comments, you would see that I have a custom theme, requiring me to drop my notification bar down just to look at it... Or go to lock screen, which is extremely irritating whenever I want to see that useful info on my bar.
Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, and I understand that. If I knew how to fix this myself, I would but alas I am a noob who is still trying to learn the way of Android

There might be a setting, Expanded Desktop! Turn it off!!!
If you use two fingers to pull the status bar, you can see the remaining battery and the signal at least

Is there a way to remove the notification bar shortcuts?

My biggest gripe with Touchwiz is the massive amount of space the shortcuts in the notification bar take up. I have always been on Sense and when i get a notification, i could use my thumb to pull the bar down a half inch or so and see the notification, but on touchwiz, that giant stupid green bar of shortcuts takes up over a 3rd of the screen and just as annoying, the CLEAR button scrolls with the notifications. Aside from a custom ROM, is there a way to ditch the shortcuts/screen brightness slider from the notification pull down?
I wish we had the option to remove things from the actual status bar like AM/PM and the 4G icon when I'm on wifi. It bothers me that they don't just give us simple toggles to add/remove what we want.

Status bar issue

How do I get the status bar to not expand automatically on first touch? I'm using Gravity Box and want to change a few things in the status bar, like slide left/right on the status bar to dim/brighten the screen, but on first touch the status bar expands so it isn't possible. Anyway to disable this feature?
I have the exact same issue. I would like to know the answer to this also.

The notification bar with the Notch

So we can "hide" the notch which is fine but it will still use each side if the notch to show icons which I hate because it only shows like 2 icons on each side. Is there a way to disaply a full notification bar under the notch?
On the right side I see the battery icon and time and on the left I see the LTE with signal status so i basically leaves me with only 1 notification icon...
tap over status bar to xpand and see other notification icon

I know that but I prefer to see the icons without having to open the menu every time.

bcoz of notch thats not possible,i think
I just randomly found out that if you tap either side of the notch, it will display a second bar with the icons for 3 seconds

Change status bar icons on Android 11?

Wondering if there's any way to do this, I've tried super status bar but it looks really bad on home without transparency imo. I just hate the default LG 4g and Signal bars lol wondering if there's any way to change it with root access
