[Q] Status Bar Forced Auto-Hide on Home Screen - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

This is likely appropriate for the SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7 thread, but with my being new herein, I can't post in the dev forums yet...
Device Vitals: Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710), running SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7, and Nova Launcher Prime 2.1.1
Issue: Status Bar is force auto-hiding on launcher home pages even with notifications therein. Does pull-down and otherwise function as expected.
Comments:
Verified that Expanded Desktop is not selected in power menu
Verified that Status Bar is not set to auto-hide in: System Settings | Interface | Status Bar
Status Bar does show on all other screens - Lock, Settings, in apps, etc. - it just auto-hides on the home screen when I believe it shouldn't
Problem seems to have shown-up after installing the Firefox full-screen plugin or when I was fracking around to get Photosphere functional
I have tried various iterations of trying to get things synced back up, if it is a settings sync issue (including booting safe and making settings changes therein (not honored then, either), uninstalling firefox, etc.)
I have back-ups and am willing and able to do a fresh reflash of the ROM/add-ons, etc. However, I'd like to avoid same, as the inevitable tweaking needed to get various apps functioning as I desire is pretty time consuming - ~4-6hrs I am guessing.
I am wondering if there is a script I can run, or some other means of forcibly resetting the OS to not auto-hide the Status Bar, and start honoring the settings asserted in the System Settings UI. It feels like a simple toggle got out of sync somewhere, or something else equally benign, but I am not a dev, and only a hack scripter (x86), so I don't know what I don't know.
I'd hate to have to reflash and reconfig when a simple manual edit/script can possibly resolve.
Can anyone offer any assistance, please? TIA.

It was a bad Launcher profile. I reflashed the ROM, and restored all apps, to no avail. I restored an earlier backup of the Launcher and the issue was resolved.
Who effin knew... Ugh.

[Q/A] Some BeanStalk Questions

Hello everyone!
Although this is my first post, some of you may (highly unlikely) remember me as "WaterMan" , I created a couple of ROMs way back in the HTC Magic days
However, I am here to ask some questions about Beanstalk running on my SGS3. It is Build 4.3.07 running JB 4.3
So far this ROM runs great and I love it. However there are a couple of quirks I wanted to work out
1) Is it possible that when I pull down the notification panel, it will show me my notifications immediately rather than the "Profile" panel? I find it extremely annoying that when I pull down the panel, it opens up those toggles and I have to switch to notification view every time, a real time-killer
*Edit* Answered: Apparently pulling the notification panel down from the LEFT side opens notifications, while pulling it down from the RIGHT side opens the toggles. Still cannot figure out how to edit which toggles are shown, if possible
2) Is it possible / how can I add or remove toggles from the pull-down panel?
3) I am having issues with signal dropping randomly, is there any way to fix this?
and finally 4) How can I remove some native applications? I used titanium backup but it does not seem to work
Thank you all! Other members, please feel free to ask questions and answer them relating to BeanStalk's latest build!

Bugs in Paranoid Android and AOSP for P6

I still can't post in developer threads so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.
There are some issues with the AOSP rom and with Paranoid Android by surdu_petru.
AOSP - It has that KitKat "feature" where apps can't write data to the SD card. This means that you cant download from your browser, do backups and use custom camera apps etc. The issue might be in the etc folder inside the permissions.xml file. Also when using the switches in the status bar (notifications/switches) you can see a bit of jerkiness.
Paranoid Android - There is auto rotation on the lock screen which tends to slash the cover art when playing music and it's slow, honestly it would be better to have a switch in settings or lock it in portrait permanently. Also there is the issue when the status bar icons "drop" when another menu opens and go back up when you close it (i.e. long press + widgets). The same issues persist in OmniRom.
Is there any way to fix these? Editing permissions doesn't work and I don't know how to fix the "drop" issue in Omni.

[Q] Did a factory reset and now most of the default apps are gone?

And some of the UI just doesn't function, as well. The home and recent apps buttons in the navigation bar don't work, the settings button in the notification panel doesn't work anymore, and all of the default apps are gone.
Any ideas how this happened, or how to fix it? I'd say I'm moderate to advanced in terms of experience troubleshooting Android, and I'm comfortable with difficult procedures including things requiring root.
Edit: Oops, wrong subforum. I can't figure out how to delete this.

Issues on CM12.1 - Blackened expanded status bar / empty 'recent apps' cards

Hey guys,
I'm right now facing some issues on my D-HD phone, which runs CM 12.1 custom ROM from this forum. Also I'm on the 12.1-20151201-unofficial-aceopt (!) build.
Issues:
a) The background of the untouched Lock screen is blacked out, as soon as I swipe to unlock the intended wallpaper is showing for a sec, then the home screen.
b) The status bar, if swiped down, blacks out the whole screen, popup messages aren't stuck to the bar and are hiding behind it.
I can't do a screenshot of it, due to the behavior of the screenshot option, that is killing the expanded status bar.
c) On the screen for recent apps (by button), ALL app preview screens are empty, only the head bars with the app names are appearing.
My phone was bug free, until I started to test an self-programmed app through Android Studio on it (per ADB, app wasn't complex nor corrupted).
I'm using the standard Trebuchet launcher (though I tested others, to see if it causes the problems), and the "Euphoria Dark Theme for CM12" ,which was also installed before the problems appeared.
I also did several reboots.
I did the full forum and google search, but wasn't able to find issues or solutions that are like this.
Do you have an idea, what am I able to do?
Thank you!
Which i have understand with your issues is that,
1)your are not getting transparent status bar, right?
2) after pulling down your notification panel you get black background in that, right ?
3) your lock screen's background is black , right ?
4) and after all these 3 issues you were also facing no animation in you window/scroll etc, right ?
For those all problem just go to settings>about phone and tap about 7 to 8 time on build number then go back you will see developer option there now tap on that find the option some thing like "force high-end graphics" switch on that and reboot your phone your problems will be solved.

How to auto-hide navbar in Stock rom (S-off)

I have been using the Viper roms since right after I got this phone. It is/was an ATT branded phone, but is now S-off and I am running a 4.30.617.12. I am no longer running VIper as I cannot get a 6.x viper rom to have decent battery life. I need a couple mods, though, and am unsure how to do them. The primary one is the auto hide of the stock navbar. There are instructions all over the web about editing a editing a setting:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
but this is not nearly as good as teh options for the stock navbar in the viper roms. Is there an APK or something that could help? Also with the settings mod, it does nothing about the 'car mode' nav bar which is HUGE!!!!! and takes up over 15% of the screen. I can get used to hiding and unhiding the normal mode nav bar, but really want to be able to auto hide the car mode one. This was all handled nicely in the viper rom 'auto hide stock navbar' option.
The other is the file naming convention of the camera files. "Image0001.jpg' makes no sense to me at all. I prefer a date prepend in YYYYMMDD format if possible.
Any help finding solutions to one or both of these would be greatly appreciated.
As far as i know to the best you'll get for hiding the nav bar is to have a button on it to hide it manually.
Settings/personalise/navigation bar options/ check the box for "hide navigation bar".
To change the naming of the photos will require a 3rd party app. You cannot change the naming scheme otherwise, nor reset the image count without a factory reset.
Hardly a solution but I hope this helped.
