I can't seem to remove the blue line and settings button above it, which are at the top of my screen when using adw ex on ics (slim build dated 20 Feb). I've followed the directions from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494521
but they don't work for me. Also tried asserting a feature to do it but to no avail. But what does happen is when I use the button or gesture to hide the status bar while it stays, when I press the menu button the menu options appear with 2/3 of it disappeared off the screen. I prefer adw as it has more useable screen realestate rather than just the square area for widget placement you get using trebuchet. Are others finding the same thing? Any fixes?
And while I'm asking, if I can't remove the status bar, is there any way I can place some other things in there? Like add the open apps button in there? I can't seem to find a way.
I guess I'm trying to make the top of my screen similar to the first image you see when you look at adw launcher ex on the Android market.
I'm lonely...

Same issue here. I have tried using the hide status bar shortcut but it does nothing. The blue line is driving me crazy to the point of not even using adw.
add me to the list.. having this issue on a couple of my devices.. I think the blue line/bar is called a "action bar" not a status bar? but i dont have the option to hide the action bar as some threads describe.. such a waste of precious desktop space.. if i find a fix ill post back..

Try in rom control- battery. I only had blue line and not those buttons. Anyway I changed the colour to black to match my home screen. The line just represented the battery on mine
If your on a ICS from then you need to change DPi to 120 or else ADW thinks its on a phone. Don't use ADW anymore since Nova and Apex since both are HW a celled and last time I checked ADW is not.

Yesterday morning I noticed something strange with the home screen on my desire. The problem doesn't occur on any other of my screens. I hope somebody might be able to help.
The problem - at the very bottom of the screen there is a black rectangle between the white phone icon on the left and the white web icon on the right. See Pic labelled 3. I appreciate its difficult to see but the other photos are better.
The problem appears to be linked to the notification bar. I'm using launcher pro and I'm hiding the notification bar. I have it so when I swipe the app icon the notification bar becomes visible. However, since this morning when I reveal the notification bar with a swipe of the app icon the black rectangle at the bottom moves up and becomes more obvious? See pics labelled 1 and 2. Its almost like an overflow of the notification bar from the top to the bottom of the screen.
The black rectangle only appears on one screen. I updated extended controls app yesterday. However, I didn't uninstall before updating and my phone went a bit funny. So I uninstalled it and installed it and everything was fine.
Last night I went to use a post it widget. But the widgets had vanished? Even though I have the app installed. So I uninstalled and installed. But again the widgets have disappeared again?
The the extended control app is unusable today . I have emailed the makers of extended controls but haven't heard anything from them yet.
I have turned the phone on and off a couple of times but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for an app to launch apps/shortcuts from the notification bar.
I have the recent tasks thing on my pull down, and I'm looking for something like that but where I can pick my apps/shortcuts. (IE, pull down the notification bar and one ONE line have 4+ icons of my favorite apps. Slide the bar left & right for more apps).
I don't want a program that I can launch from the notification bar that in turn pops up a folder of icons (Folder Organizer, App Launcher both can do this). That's one click too many.
No home button or hold search either - if I wanted that, I'd go back to Power Strip
Thanks for any help. Having no luck in the market again. I'm starting to think it's simply not do-able or I'd have found it by now.

ToggleBar is the closest I've seen.
Thanks, that's one I have not seen. I like how it's a combination launcher/toggle/contact. Needs some work. Would like to know why we have to do the extra step (pull down bar, launch this app, launch app you actually want to use).
Also suffers from ugly icon on tray (I guess I can modify the apk). Also wonder why you have to have an icon (an invisible square is no help either) - other apps don't need to have something in the bar to be available on the drop down.
Will try this one out.
Currently using Calendar in Status bar Trial which I have set to launch Organized Drawer - but at least the icon is functional (showing the day & date).
Also - noticed an app called ncut, but crashes on my phone, possible gingerbread problem.
Since a couple of OTAs ago the customization of the nav bar has changed. I pretty much just want it to be black in all apps. There was an app "Nav Bar Apps" that did this but now it doesn't work like it used to. An example is in Nova Launcher the nav bar is always white, also in Swiftkey it's white. Any ideas?
I am looking for same thing. Black Nav bar and option to selective enable pin for all and individual apps

Flash a custom ROM like Renovate.

If you want the black nav bar back just use this theme from XDA. No need to void your warranty. Also there is Substratum for Samsung devices.

If you are familiar with ADB commands, this works perfectly for me without the root.

I've been messing with substratum and somehow my nav bar ended up like the pixel. When I try to change it to something else, when I press home button it still shows pixel icon. I tried to remove all layers and uninstall subtratum app but the pixel nav bar remained. Is there a way to get back to stock nav bar without having to reset phone. I also installed custom nav bar app and now the spacing between buttons is smaller I think.

You'll have to uninstall the substratum theme. Settings> apps > your theme. I'm using swift dark and there are around 20 layers to uninstall.
Alright so I got the stock nav buttons back... Is there a way to get the right dimensions? I used the custom navbar app and made it more compact than it was.

Do you still have the app? Did you make a backup of the original? If you didn't make a backup you should be able to use the app to remedy your situation.
yeah not sure how to get it back to the right layout. Everything is scrunched to the center.
edit: figured it out, had to purchase app to get custom layout
now get systemui error every time I rotate to landscape. Just gonna reset my phone I guess.
Google introduced a status bar icon editor back in developer previews of 8.0, yet seemed to have vanished from public release.
This is the menu where you used to hold the gear icon on the status bar, it would spin and unlock the editor.
For this, you can use any "activity launcher" however I will explain using Nova.
Long press on the home screen.
Select widgets.
Then you'll see "Activies" - press this.
Scroll down to "System UI" - touch it. You'll then see "Demo mode"(3rd option down) - touch this and a little wrench will appear on your home screen.
Press it. You'll see the status bar editor open up. Select status bar, and turn off the icons you want removed.
After this, reboot. And they will be gone.
I have Bluetooth, Alarm Clock, and signal bars all removed. Makes the status bar just clean and neat.
Give it a try!
ENJOY!
This is a great hidden find, unfortunately I wasn't able to remove the battery icon.... I don't need that with percentage showing.
Didn't work on my Global version. I can unselect then but after rebooting they are all still there.

I'm using the global version, and it works great on mine and another buddies of mine.
What version software do you have?
Only WiFi seems to disappear for me. Other icons just reappear on my global variant of the Mate 20 X. But thank you for the guide regardless.
Also wish the performance mode icon could be hidden, but that's not even an option.
Sigh, if we could just get near stock Android + sprinkles of EMUI customisations, I'd be so happy.. I love the hardware, camera, overall feel of the Mate 20 X but keep finding myself playing with my 6T and Pixel 2 XL because the software is a tough pill to swallow on the Huawei phone.

Seems like some toggles work, while some others don't :/
Would love to hide the VoLTE icon on the status bar. Or some way to rearrange the ordering if possible.
Edit: Just realized I can simply turn off VoLTE in the mobile networks settings (since I don't use it) to remove the icon.
can u explain 1 2 3
how i can remove eye comfort and volte?
how i can remove eye comfort and volte?
Wow, I was really excited about this, but my phone automatically overrides it at boot. I think I can see it for a split second before it reverts, but it might just be populating the icons.
Anybody know more about this?
I am using lawn chair V2 launcher and although you can't hide icons you can set it to hide the whole status bar, very clean and to see the bar you just pull down from the top of the screen
Because I've always used dark mode, I didn't see that there was an extra black circle in the upper left panel of my screen. If this is do to a setting or option from an app I don't know. I've tried to retrace my steps from nova launcher to good lock and one ui but I can't find why it's there. If anyone has knowledge I'd surely appreciate it.
I am having the same issue. Note 10+ I'm not using a different launcher either. Not sure what to do!
