I think the honeycomb task bar (if that is what you mean) is always shown. Hopefully in some future update they'll allow the transparency to be set, or even dismiss it completely (unless the screen is pressed or suchlike)

It's cool how the stock movie player kinda hides the task bar with just seeing faint dots were the navigation buttons were.
Maybe app developers just need to update their software to support this Honeycomb feature?
Good point - I havn't tried the stock movie player, but know what you mean as I've seen it on the YouTube app.
It does that even with games, and without having physical buttons, something has to be static to allow you to go back or home.
There's so much room for error there, causing you to have to do hard reboot if the program froze.
Just like in a PC OS, there's always the taskbar or start bar, there has to be a static menu bar somewhere.

i have asked this on the G1 forum but thought i would ask here.
is it possible to write an application that would hide the notification bar completely and in any application. i know some applications have full screen mode, however some lack this and it would be useful if you would like to view the application in full screen.
The only I know is to get a launcher such as ADW.Launcher, LauncherPro, etc. (almost any launcher has this option). However I am not sure if it will stay fullscreen for all applications, haven't tried.

Unfortunately it doesn't stay full screen. The moment you press menu or open an app that doesn't have a full screen mode the bar reappears.
I have an Aria which has a smaller screen like the g1 so I'm always trying to maximize screen real estate. An app or mod to hide the notification bar even in apps would be really nice. Xscope browser has a completely full screen mode (no notification bar, no address bar, no borders) , which is nice for internet viewing.

yeah its true it doesnt stay hidden in certain apps. i have managed to crash the notification bar trying to open the dropdown which made it dissapear but i have to reset my phone to get it back. an ability to stop it and start it again would be beneficial for me as i dont always want it there when in certain apps.
Has anyone managed to find an app or way to move the back/home/recent buttons + status etc. from bottom to top of the screen? My daughter loves playing with games but she keeps hitting the darn bar with her arm etc. (she's about 2 years+months and luckily smart enough to start the game again when pressing back/home etc. but it's annoying) and I've searched around but couldn't find anything regarding this. Only to ' hide' the bar (by killing it's process), but not move it to top.
Any idea's? Or did I miss something?
I may be wrong on this, but I think Asus put an option in the settings to let the status bar lock itself, so you have to hold down on the center a few seconds for the buttons to appear. You might want to try that.
I use GMD Gesture Control (Pro for custom gestures) -- one of its options I do not use is hiding the taskbar (by gesture). The only backdraw is that wallpaper will be reset to the default one when you toggle the taskbar back on. If that's an issue for you, you'll need an app that changes the wallpaper back to what it was from a folder or something (I know there are several in the Play Store that provide options like that, and they have been named in the forum elsewhere, I believe).
Unfortunately I can't find that option. Tried pressing long on bar, clock, home, screen and every corner I could find... nothing. Also didn't find this in any settings.
Edit.
Marty,tried that app too. Thanks, but games go all iffy if there is no bar (some, not all). Plus there are some bugs that just aren't handy. And again. Don't want to hide the bar, but simply move to top where there about zero chance of hitting it accidentally. (No clue why it had to be at the bottom to begin with anyway)

It's probably an xml file in res/layout in the SystemUI.apk file.
I have not been able to recompile SystemUI.apk so I cannot try to move it.
As soon as someone has figured out how to recompile SystemUI.apk, I will try to move it to the top.
Watching an html5 video in full screen on chrome beta seems to trigger it. it also appears out of the blue sometimes.
Screenshots attached. Its that faint circle on upper left hand corner.
I also get this, but i get it whenever I'm reading an article in pocket, and sometimes the whole status bar dims and some of the icons disappear until I pull it down. Are you on sense jellybean?

i've been wondering the same thing.
Yes. stock rooted jelly bean, so im sure its not a mod.
been trying to figure this out as well,
curious are you guys using google now by any chance?
im on cm10.1 and i get that same thing every so often im beginning to think its google now or something since i always use it for weather. but i could be wrong.
I may have solved the mystery. I pushed the SystemUI.apk file to my computer to analyze it and that icon is called ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_small.jpg .
This is supposed to be shown on devices with soft navigation buttons like the Galaxy Nexus when in "Lights out" mode to replace the back, home and task switcher buttons with faint circles so you can ,say, watch a movie in full screen and not be distracted by the buttons.
I have no idea why it's being shown in the notification area.. maybe Google added it as an additional visual cue in JB, and HTC didn't bother to remove it?
Anyway, I'm pretty confident that's what it is.
I'm wondering if updating the Droid Maxx and Ultra have given you some of the same features found on Moto Xs running KitKat, such as Moto Skip NFC unlock support, access to updated Motorola apps from the play store, etc.

Small UI changes. Updated to Droid Zap. Wallpaper no longer shifts when you scroll. Most noticeable or odd the gate. Many more small changes behind the scenes that are not very prominent.

The NFC unlock with skip was already part of the November update, IIRC.
The differences that I have noticed:
- when you press the home key while using the stock launcher, it always brings you back to the default home screen, even if the last used home screen was another one. It's almost like you pressed home twice. It's a little annoying.
- if you have two apps that can do something, with nothing set as the default (say, two browsers on the system), the first time a browser link is pressed a list of items is shown, allowing yo to choose one and choose a button that says "Just once" or "Always". That's not new, but what is new is that if you select something and say "Just once", that item will be highlighted the next time you have the same choice.
- there is a full-screen mode for apps that support it. The first time you see it it tells you that you can return to normal with a swipe down from the top.
- if you turn on "tap to focus" in the camera app, there is a new focus/white balance control that you can drag to a focus point and then tap anywhere to take the photo and use that as the focus point (and, as I said, to control exposure/white balance.)
- apparently it supports BT LE devices like the Fitbit, and supports tap to pay for Google Wallet (though I use neither of these so cannot confirm for sure.)
- the status bar remains black and the battery status and time are still blue, with the network icons remaining blue for Google connection and gray for no Google authentication, and they also still show network activity (this is unlike the Moto X.) There is a new location status icon that looks like a white Google Maps place point icon. For some reason the network icons look different to me, but they may be the same.
- there is now an unlabeled icon to clear all notifications in the notification shade, and the settings page icon looks a little different. Also, the settings gear icon looks a little different.
- there is a setting to allow you to set the default messaging app.(settings->more [under "wireless & networks"]->default SMS app)
- there is now a settings->printing setting (I don't think that was there in Jellybean) and I have printed from GMail, Hangouts and Chrome.
There really isn't a whole lot that's different or that looks all that different. (I probably missed some things...)
I only ran JB for a day so I don't really know if this is new, but I've noticed many apps now have the annoying 3-dots menu show up all by itself, occupying as much space as if we had a soft-key nav bar.
Very annoying, wish there was a way to get rid of that.

Thanks! I never even thought to look there. I'm sooo much happier with it now.
I have an issue where when texting someone and they reply the keyboard disappears. I backup all my stuff and did a factory reset from the recovery menu and it was fine until 2 days ago. I loved JB before this update. The only thing that was better in this update was performance and that's it. There are still a ton of little issues with KitKat vs. JB

So i have been modding my phone for a month now and have found several bugs that make thinks kind of difficult. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7275R) and installed the Cyanogen 12.1 mod and latest kernel from Kotzir. The problem is when i get a notification in the drop down menu, it overlaps with the menu and the other notifications. I understand that the transparent theme may cause this "trick" of hiding the notification behind a menu may cause it to appear behind it, but it should scroll with the menu anyways. And besides that, in the notification area the notifications overlap as well. The standard music app even has 2 notifications overlap itself. So i think there is something wrong with the grid of the notifications? Some counter that's stuck or something? Other than that, the phone is really stable and battery life has extended by 150% so i am happy, but i don't like to have to manually open every app to see what is going on, even more so if you can only open it by the notification like USB settings and such.
(i would like to post pictures but since i am new here i have to make 10 post before i can. i will as soon as i can, sorry for that)
Thanks in advance
Nevermind
This from can be closed, i moved over to android 6.0 CM13. It doesn't have the problem.
However a bit more information for other people who want to stay at the CM12.1:
1: The problem seemed to happen whenever more then one app had a notification. Just one app after a fresh reboot didn't cause anything.
2: If you pressed where the icons should be, you would still select it. This means it was just rendered wrong. This would mean the grid is fine, but there is a bugg in drawing the notifications properly.
3: Sometimes the menu would freeze and the animation would hang but the menu would still be pushed upwards when swiped up. The menu would freeze causing you to only see a stripe with a half gear and the other icons but just at the top.
4: The clock becomes visible after turning the screen 90 degrees either way.
5: Restarting the GUI via the settings menu should solve the problem. The icons still work just image swiping down with your eyes closed. swipe all the way down and press the gear icon to open settings.
Thanks to the admin who placed it to the correct category anyways.
have a nice day everyone ^^
