I know that some launchers can hide the status bar, but only for the homescreen
Also, in CM7, I can set long-pressing a button to toggle it, but only for that instance; it will reappear as soon as I switch to another screen
Besides, since most of the info are already on the lockscreen, I don't find the point of having the status bar on lockscreen (wouldn't the lockscreen look better too?)
I hope devs will improve this by having the status bar hidden all the time once toggled, and retoggle to bring it back at any time, and/or autohide
Since Galaxy Nexus doesn't have capacitive buttons, the toggle can be implemented into long-press power menu along with screenshot and others
So devs, please consider this (for the love of those sexy AMOLED and the 3 Nexus)

There has to be a way to hide the status bar. obviously in numerous diff launchers, there is the option to swipe up or down to hide/bring back your noti bar. the noti bar lies within the systemUI.apk (or so i can tell via switching themes). anyone know how to edit the xml that allows for hiding the noti bar? it looks sick when i adb push the systemui.apk and it dissappears. Help!
the statusbar has the home, back, menu keys built in; its probably a bad idea to hide it
I was thinking about this also. It would be nice for apps to go true fullscreen and overlap the status bar. Maybe its an app issue but Remote RDP Lite makes it awkard as when I set the resolution to 1280x800 the bottom part actually gets covered by the status bar.
I suppose I can set it to be like 1280x750 or something...

I'd like the option to hide it whenever.

this would likely require use of a hardware button, since I dont think android CAN support gestures that work over all apps, and I cant think of any other input method you could use
edit: wouldnt be a bad use of the power button since the battery is good enough without it needing to sleep and the lockscreen is sort of pointless because its not in your pocket. Maybe a popup menu on the power button like on phones?
I'd like the ability to move the status bar to the top. This would make it easier to access when I'm holding it with my left hand and resting it on my legs. Right now, if I move my left hand to hit back or home, I then need to grab my xoom with my right hand to keep it steady.
One option would be to use the up down volume keys to move the status bar up or down. Volume could be handled more easily from the notification tray, it isn't as necessary as on a phone to have an alway accessible volume button.
Hi
I just went from Stock 4.0.3 to Team EOS 4.2.1. Everything seems to work, but Im missing the "lock navigation bar" feature.
I know it's a ASUS specific feature. It says ASUS "something" setting
Fore those not familiar with this feature: You get a new button on the navigation bar. swipe it - and it lock the navigation bar, so you dont accidental push any of the buttons while e.g playing games or watching movies. Swipe it again and it unlocks the bar.
It is a big problem for kids not to hit e.g. home or back buttons while playing.
Are there any apps, hidden settings or custom roms that makes this possible
/jk
U can hide the nav bar on this awesome ROM
Long press the power button and press the last option... Better then lock

Thanks mate
Yes that is a better solution, I agree.
I did rummage around the settings. found a lot of settings related to nav/status bar, but never quite what I was after.
Android can be quite difficult because all the feature and setting and that they change from version to version and ROM to ROM.
But its also the freedom we love, i guess
Just updated to 20140130 on my Nexus 4 and played around with the new navigation bar settings. I decided not to change anything and reset the navigation bar.
Now the navigation buttons (back, home, recent) show up on the lockscreen (slider ring) and they work! I can't see what I'm doing, but as soon as I unlock I can see that I went back, to the home screen or pulled up the recent list. This seems like a major issue to me as it essentially renders parts of the lockscreen useless.
Also, the navigation bar isn't transparent anymore on the home screen, but some kind of grey gradient (not even the standard solid black).
Thanks for all the good work up to this point!

Hi, is anyone knows how to hide the nav button on home screen? I don't want to use the navigation gesture as the animation is really weird for me. I'm fine with hiding the nav button, but the button is still there on the home screen.
I have a rooted OP6 with Magisk.
You could use gravitybox xposed, it has option for expanded desktop
What i do is enable gestures in the settings to get rid of the navigation bar, but instead of using the oneplus gestures, i use gesture control from the app store to set up an almost transparent pill. I find i like this better as opposed to just running expanded desktop all the time, because when the keyboard pops up, the nav bar does not come with it.
I just got my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra the other day and there's something pretty frustrating that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. There is a feature that allows you to swipe down on the home screen to pull down the notification panel. This this feature is disabled, or you're on any other screen other than the home-screen, there is only a very very very thin line that represents the notification bar that registers you pressing when wanting to pull the notification bar down. Its even worse when I have my case on. I have to try press and dragging somewhere between 5-7 times before it works.
I guess I'm just wondering if there is a way or setting to expand the area at the top that acknowledges the notification pull-down feature. Currently, so far as I can tell, it measures at about .25cm vertical area that recognizes the drag-down feature. Can we increase to .5 or maybe even .75cm vertical area?
Use Nova Launch, in the settings go to gesture. From there you can do whatever you want.
You can also put another bottonin your Nav bar that pull down the notification on any apps anywhere. In the Good Lock app go to the NavStar. Choose a new configuration or long press on the navbar option of your choice and you can put more button on it. I have 7 and they're all very useful for me.
