[Q] Shortcut to running apps?

Had a quick question, Im running icslitebeta and was wondering if i could somehow make a on screen shortcut to running apps? Like when you hold down the home button for a few seconds? I looked on google and the closest thing i found about it was to download an app that goes to a recent app selection. Only problem with that app is its there screen. I like the way the running apps or recent apps list look on ics beta. what im wanting to do is put it in the dockbar, So im using honeycomb three icon buttons and put the last one with a custom shortcut and change the icon to match,Any ideas?

Am still needing help with it.

I know if your running stock gingerbread all you have to do is hold the home button but you aren't. I'm not sure if there is any way that I know of. I'll do some googling for you and let you know.

Status Bar Removal beta + FullScreen beta [JellyBean]

Seeing as how some were concerned with burn-in/didn't want the status bar I'm releasing a first step towards it.
The status bar has been removed, however apps don't seem to reclaim it. I'll be working on this tonight/tomorrow and post any updates on it.
This is for Bigxie's v1 version of JB.
Update:
Adding a fullscreen version that permanently remains fullscreen after 2-3 force closes (There's only a few but they stop after a minute or two and I've yet to have any issues with anything else though I haven't extensively tested it).
XDA is having issues with photos for me, screenshot is here: http://postimage.org/image/yx6en8kif/
FullScreen Mode: http://multiupload.biz/0y10uw1bgdgh/FullScreen Mode_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
And for those with issues:
Standard JellyBean:

one questions: are only the icons removed or the hole status bar includig the black background?
the status bar doesn't burn in. the rest of the screen just loses brightness, whereas the status bar is black and doen't emit light. the oleds in this section and in the softbutton-section don't lose brightness because they aren't used that much. that's crappy, cause it is pretty good visible after just a couple of months of usage.

The whole status bar is gone, you can't even slide it down or anything. Also could you elaborate on the losing brightness part please?
Also if anyone else has ideas I'm willing to try them. Causing the SystemUI to crash it enters the correct full screen for a min or two, but that isn't permanent nor ideal.

especially the blue subpixels lose brightness the older they get. entering fullscreen mode, let's say watching a movie, shows, that the status bar and onscreen buttons area are more blue than the rest of the screen. this is because these areas weren't used that much.
samoled is very crappy when it comes to longevity. especially for power users it's really bullsh... i had it on every samsung samoled so far. only omnia 7 with windows phone doesn't show these "burned icons" because it's mostly running in full screen, except you touch the status bar, then the icons pop in.

Lol sorry to say but after reading this thread ... I'm just as confused as the box boy in your phones background... =\ not going to try this one...

I've seen a couple of requests like that one. Notifierpro apparently lets you (I've never tried it) and my curiosity as to how to actually remove the status bar lead me to this. (I'm not so worried about the burn in, and will leave my status bar there, I just know a couple of people seemed to want it gone to remove burn in)

Why not hide it with Nova/Apex launcher?

Because it will come back whenever you go into any other app. I don't care for this mod, but can see its use for some.

I might be able to make an app do it, to swap out the SystemUI.apk when toggled. idk if you can do that with the phone running though.

hi matt
just installed your Full Screen mod
and my Gnex is never starting (stays on bootloop)
I have the Jelly Belly V2 ROM
any idea ?

Probably isn't compatible with Jelly Belly V2.
I've only tested it on bigxie's v1

strange as it it is system.apk or system UI if I'm right , so must be the same on JB ROMs

[Q] Status bar behavior, AOKP 4.2.1

Hi,
when i pull down the status bar in AOKP MR1 (4.2.1) i see the quick settings panel if there are no notifications active, and not, as in stock 4.2, the notification drawer(or panel, don't know how to call it).
I'd like to have the stock behavior, so that i can pull down the status bar and ALWAYS see the notification drawer. Is it possible with a simple method? I tried looking in the settings but didn't find any option for this.
Thank you.

You will have to post this on the developers thread. You will not find an answer here most likely. I hope they can help you there!

go in rom control or status bar toggles and make sure you have some toggles enabled then they should show up, hope this helps

Thank you, but the point is I just want the status bar to show me either the notification panel OR the toggles panel when i pull it down (i'd rather to have always the notification panel). It's a bit confusing that you don't know what's going to be shown when you pull it down..

Eh, even though I'm quite flashaholic and spend a lot of time reading on xda, i seldomly post, and unfortunately i still have to reach the 10 posts limit to be able to post in dev threads.
On the other hand, I'm the living proof that xda search button actually works

You should try nova launcher. You can set it to open the taskbar when you swipe down on the home screen.

So you are not rooted and you wanna stay that way?
What exactly are you trying to change?

i'll probably root eventually, i just wanted to change out the airplane mode toggle for the driving mode toggle and maybe remove a couple of others.

Ooooo I wasn't sure exactly what you were asking.
Only thing I know of is the 23 toggle mod, which is an easy enough flash if you are rooted. Wouldn't know another way, though.

There's a couple of apps in the play store which can add toggles but I'm not sure if root is required for those apps.

Ah
Theres a mod called 20 toggle mod. That'll let you customize it and edit the order and everything. It also adds a bunch of other toggles

power toggles

Hi guys how do you remove the power toggles from the top menu ie wifi bluetooth etc can I disable the app or edit or freeze it so I can use a play store app in its place many thanks.

I don't think so...

It seems that there is no way to do that. Maybe if you install a custom ROM, it would have more customization features...?
I don't have the option on my phone either.
So... I don;t believe you can. Sorry.

Hi thanks for the reply I'm on literom which is rooted, I am sure there is an so that hide the power toggles. I've found on that hides the lot including the very top info bar but not just the power toggles.
The standard green ones are just too big & green.
thanks for the input.

I have got the top bar to change colour which is now blue :fingers-crossed: but the power toggles are green :crying: which looks odd can we not change the color even if I can not remove the on off switches, I'm on literom 0.7 if it helps
