Possible to move the Dock to the top of the screen?

nope nothing in the android system will do that. you will need a custom launcher. i use nova launcher and they do not have a setting to move the dock to the top. not sure on other launchers either.

 

None of the custom roms for my device provide a setting to move the dock to the top. I do have a GRX tuouchwiz system launcher with settings to hide the dock from the home screen and/or hide the status bar. There are a few app for mon root useds that will custom theme wth an overlay to the statusbar.

 

It's nothing to do with Google: anyone could write a launcher which had this feature and nothing in the OS would stop them.

However I don't myself know of a launcher that offers this. Most people find it much easier to reach things at the bottom of the screen, so as the dock is something you interact with often it makes ergonomic sense to place it there. This is the first time I've seen someone request the ability to place it at the top, and I expect that's the real reason why few, if any, launchers offer this.
