I am using Sky's ICS for the Skyrocket SG2. Ive flashed the latest update for the ROM and have a second, what seems to be, a status bar underneath the regular status bar, with just a battery icon. I can't seem to find whatever program is running that app to turn it off. Anyone know what or how to shut off that status bar?
Its battery status bar. TO remove it dload the battery bar.apk and you can remove it using the app.

I installed the battery bar.apk and went into the app. All it had was to hide the white battery bar at the top. I went through all the settings in the app and can't seem to find an option to remove the battery status bar =\.
it s the first option on the app where it says show battery bar just uncheck the box.

Yah that The "show battery bar" check box just hides the white bar at the very top of my phone. I'd post a picture but the forum won't let me =\. But yah its a battery bar UNDER the regular status bar.
So you got rid of it rite and the solution worked if it did hit that thnx button it helps to know someone appreciate the info.

Uh no it didn't fix the problem. I think there is a slight miscommunication somewhere here. I am having issues with the battery under my original status bar. It doesn't seem to be related with the battery bar mod. The battery bar mod seems to control the white bar up top which I already knew how to alter. It's this one that is right under my regular status bar. I'd post a pic but it requires that I not suck and have more than 8 post lol.
What is the problem with that battery icon?

I want it to go away. It's kinda redundant. I have the circle battery already I don't need a second battery icon underneath is =\
if your using sky ics rom with ics launcher then go hit menu then launcher settings then launcher status bar settings and uncheck show status bar (launcher)
Should take care of it.
OMG thank you! that fixed it! +1 thanks really appreciate it

Are you talking about having the battery percentage with the icon on the status bar? Stock Android (and in this case mostly stock) doesn't have that option. You can use what I use, power toggles, to have it pinned on the left side of the status bar. Not the greatest set up but for now it's all we got. Another reason why I really hope we see an unlocked boot loader so we can get some roms that will have this feature. :good:
Or you can two finger swipe down on the notification bar and it will show your percentage

Yes, that's what I was talking about... I added power toggles and put up top. Thanks
Am I blind or did Google remove the option to display the percentage in the status bar? I know there are many apps that do this but my OCD says it needs to be on the right side with the battery

I don't remember ever seeing that option stock in any of the previous Android versions. It's usually found in custom ROMs.
Is there any way to have a 100% empty status bar,no signal bars of any kind?I am looking for a way do it.I can't seem to kind a way with using immersive mode,which I don't want.I looked for a xposed module and didn't find any.Thanks in advance.

Just to be clear, why would you rather have a status bar with no status icons instead of simply no status bar at all?

Personal preference. I want a change.I like immersive mode with pie.It's just not what I want to be honest.I would like it empty and to use a widget to relay the info that would show up.(I.e WiFi signal carrier signal clock )

Sorry, I get the "clean look" idea. I just don't understand what the difference is to you to have a clean status bar vs no status bar... I don't see why you would want the former not the latter. Or would completely hiding the status bar be an option too?

I would "hide it".I've never really been a widget person,so I'd like to try something new and use a widget to give me all the info normally displayed in the status bar,but I don't want to use something that takes away the keys I added and colored. Any thoughts?

Widget is only good if you're in the launcher. What about in apps? Some custom laucnhers can hide status bar when you're in launcher (homescreen etc) but then not when in apps. How would that suit?

I'm one of the small niche groups that actually really G.N.L.I like the functionality of swiping to my left for my cards.I think I had a ROM on my gnex that I was able to hide icons than make status bar transparent.I'll check out a few custom ROMs and see what I can come up with.If not I'll make my own build to suit my needs.won't be the 1st time...thanks for the feed back I was just looking for the cheap way out.

Use the xposed module gravity box. And use the display setting called immersive status bar. It'll hide the status bar while keeping your navigation bar. You can keep your colored nav keys, not see the status bar, and you won't have to use pie. If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what you want?

if you are on stock you just have to pull down twice to get the status bar
i think gravitybox can do what you need though

That's a widget thing only. Remove it in back-screen-setting.

i want to say , its Status bar ( download icon, wifi, clock, gsm,...) not is widget notification.
I fully second this. Also after like an hour of inactivity, clocks on the EPD stop updating properly. For example its 01:21, but the clocks on my Y3+ (updated from Y3) still show 01:03. Only the clock on the status bar are correct, but first of all, I don't want the status bar on my EPD, and secondly they are too small to consider them convenient at that point anyway.
Would really, really love to hear about solutions to both of those issues :-| The status bar has no reason to exist on the back of the phone. I just wish Y3+ was just a Y2 in regards to the EPD.
workaround for me is to enable the lockscreen with the second screen app but just leave it empty - so I just get a blank white screen with the locked icon and nothing else - most importantly: no statusbar.
most of the apps I use on the e-ink side have fullscreen support, so it doesnt annoy me during actual use.
but yeah, bit of a weird thing to not give us any settings for.
Ye, for me, the "actual use" for a phone with always on screen is seeing a nic clock (and other info) on its back. Thats the most important, seeing clock/weather/notifications/potentially other widget thingies (I inda liked the step countner on the chinese version). But the status bar is something that's not usable "at a glance", its too small for that so it has no place there.
But lately, I'm most annoyed by the clocks not updating properly when the phone is in sleep mode for a few hours, I can't trust the clock anymore, f*ck I hate that about it so much.

It's a late response, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with the time sync problem. I miss the YotatHub clock and battery widgets :-(
I finally discovered how to fix it:
Go to Settings -> Battery -> Click upper right 3 dots -> Choose 'Battery optimization' -> Choose clock app -> Click 'Don't optimize' -> Click 'Done' and you're done! Now your clock will always update
