Thanks for this mod! Seriously Google should have implemented this in their OS already. I'm surely they figured that people might want to check their notifications when they are in fullscreen.
5 stars! Great app.

I have tried it on my father's galaxy note(gingerbread) and it was working great very smooth maybe it a problem in ics rom
please some one make sure if it is working in ics rom or not

I'm using unofficial CM9 ICS on my i9001, and it doesn't work.
Used to work fine on stock gingerbread.
Don't know how much you've optimized the app, but sometimes it consumes 12MB of ram. I'm not sure, but this seems a little much for a simple application that's persistent throughout the OS.
If it isn't i'd be happy to hear why, just think perhaps it could be optimized further?

can u tell us how to increase touch movement threshold maybe our rom Dev have decreased that

Cool idea.
Won't use it though, sorry. Read sensitive log files is a deal breaker for me.
Remove that permission and I will gladly pay for the app.

Hi,
I am not sure is there any property that you can set in ROM to increase touch threshold. But You can try this test version to see if it works. I am making new update soon to solve some issues regarding custom rom.

I already added this feature as an option in my next update which will be released today or tomorrow.
Hi,
If you know how to use adb, can you do a quick logcat for me and send the log to kiumiu.ca@gmail.com for debug?
Step:
(1) When Smart statusbar is started, do
adb logcat -s statusbar
(2) Then try open a full screen app and then exit the app after 5 second.
(3) Do step two with couple apps.
(4) Then finish the log collecting.
Thanks

ah, ok, thanks then. Was assuming you tried to cover it with a one-fits-all value judging from that test apk.
sorry for giving you wrong info when you give the last test version I tried it in tutorial and it was not working but today when you asked the logcat for that I did start the app and then run the command in terminal open a landscape game tried to pull statusbar and it did work I was able to see the status bar and also got a vibration then I open a portrait full screen app and it was also working there thanks for that great test version but you need to correct that tutorial bug
edit:- currently it is also working in tutorial but success rate in portrait is 70% and in landscape is 90%but hey great work

I can make it work 100% of the time. I do have my DPI set at 190, cant image that makes a huge different. Its all in the finger placement... Keep up the good work dev!
It's not finger placement. My phone doesn't recognize touches in the first few px and with dpi changed the trigger area becomes so small it's impossible to hit as it's below that threshold. The update increased the area i can actually trigger it to 1!!!! pixel.
So just because it works for you please don't since it works for everyone ;-)
Really looking forward to the update

53This app is developed by the same Dev who makes the popular Android Apps Button Savior, Smart Taskbar, and Everywhere Clipboard.
Smart Statusbar is the first and only statusbar enabler for full screen apps on android devices. No more lose track of time or important info on statusbar when you are reading, playing, or watching movie.
To enable statusbar, just do a simple top down swipe from top of screen. By default, statusbar will shows 5 seconds. You can also adjust the timeout to your preference in settings.
Please note. This app doesn't work on Honeycomb and ICS based Tablets. They are very different from phone version of Android. So no statusbar hidden problem on those tablets. So do not download if you want to use it on ICS or HC tablets.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
FEATURES
☆ Reveal statusbar in full screen apps
☆ Gesture activation
☆ Works on 2.0 and up
☆ Adjustable statusbar enabling duration
☆ Vibration hint

SCREENS1In reply the request from IvanNCase and Prockkaii. I indeed had plan to add this feature but i am still trying. It is not easy. So maybe will never make it at all. But I will try my best to introduce this feature.11i installed the market version start the app did a logcat tried to access the statusbar but still no avail
link to logcat:- http://db.tt/h8jbFpJ8 (not sure if this is only the logcat of statusbar1I went through previous posts regarding feature requests today. Generally, there are 4 items that were actually part of my plan during development. But unfortunately they are impossible to do for now due to limitation in API.
(1) Swipe up to close statusbar - It is not possible because there is no API to monitor statusbar visibility. I am more than happy to add this one if future OS has API to do it.
(2) Ability to force statusbar invisible - Again. It is API limitation. I wanted to do it more than anyone else.
(3) Home screen lag on GNex - It is graphics driver issue in ICS. The problem is gone if upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2
(4) Can't pull down statusbar detail in some Apps - Some apps uses different way to draw oepnGL surface which prevents statusbar from fully extended. I am not sure why too. I spent some time to study this before but due to my limited knowledge in openGL programming, so I don't have a good solution yet.
