Edit: [SOLVED]
One of the biggest annoyances I have found so far in ICS is the inability to hide the taskbar, which takes up a lot of screen space in many apps and games, and leaves the picture asymmetric when watching videos.
Is there any way to hide this? I have tried using Gesture Control Root to acheive this but it doesnt seem to hide the bar.. all the other features of the app work fine though.
I am rooted, in WW .17. Any thoughts from you guys would be appreciated, thanks.
[Edit]
Using Gesture Control Root worked fine after using busybox. Finally I have the perfect tablet!

Active apps widget popup unable to switch to app? it only kills the app i click on, even if i try to change the widget settings... does this work for anyone ells?

Hi there, i am the developer of active apps. It appears that the widget active apps 1x1 is bugged.in the area you just mentioned.
I will provide a fix for that soon. Meanwhile you can enable control panel in widget. On pop up, Click on second button to switch mode.
Please send me email for the bug next time as the original thread has been deleted by mod.
Thanks.
Ahh OK thanx.... i did change to application istead of popup, the popup looks nice tho so i look forward to the fix.
Nice application...

It has just been fixed and uploaded to the market now. Let me know if the same bug still occur.
Btw, There will be two small buttons on pop up if you enable the control panel from the widget.
1st one is to kill all
2nd is switch between mode. Kill or switch.
So when you click on the app, it should act as according to the mode you choose.
Give it a try.
And thanks. .hope the app did help you in someway or another.
Thanx, switching in popup works great now, the control panel switching between kill and switch does not work tho... it's still allways switching no matter what i choose.
I love this app / widget....

Working on my N7.
Thanks dever. pls add some function like "show status bar on screen off, hide status bar on screen unlock..." and add widget to control status bar show/hide. thanks.
would be awesome if it can be hidden for the lockscreen only on jb :laugh:
Tried this but gives me a reboot after like a minute. Even the pro does. Maybe it conflicts with my settings and all. But great apps. Im using the gesture control, too bad cant use the hide bar thingy...
Good job! Works like a charm on Motorola RAZR xt910 ICS 4.0.4.
Please add 'exit' button when I run app and when bar is hidden there are no way to go to homescreen when I using tablet mode on Lapdock.
+1 to widget control and restore bar when screen off.
Thanks

I'm using the paid version of gesture control, and I love it. One think I'd like: replacing the Launchpad with a "recent tasks" window. Right now my launchpad consists of a single button to the task switcher, but I'm lazy and I'd like to have one action less to get there..

This application is pretty similar to HideBar (http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/), an application that has been in development for over a year. It contains an intuitive user interface to hide/show the systembar.
I find the development of customizing tools like GMD very good. But as a developer you should not use the same name. This only leads to confusion for existing users.

This was not intended and happened just because title is kind of generic. Since there is no perfect solution for ICS yet without modding, it is good that alternatives are appearing so everyone can pick solution that works best for them.

You mean wallpaper is not drawn there? But applications are taking all space?
For couple weeks already I'm using great app to hide onscreen soft keys - Auto Hide Soft Keys. I wanted to fully test it - check if it will work in real usage - and I must say it works perfectly. It takes couple days to get used to, but now I'm enjoying full 4.3'' screen, and there is no way I'm going back.
This is paid application for full functionality but you can test it for free, with just small (but irritating) disadvantage - line at the bottom (you can hide it in full version).
I'm not a developer or anything, just this app is great and I wanted to share with you guys.

Ty for the app, i still prefer Lmt pie control but this is a great app
Enviado desde mi XT890 usando Tapatalk 4
I've used LMT for some time and for me it doesn't work as good as this one. Auto hide of keys at bottom works so well on RAZR I because we've got this black thin unused bar at bottom, and it's easy to slide finger from there (and it doesn't matter what hand I'm using).
Btw I think that this black bar at bottom was originally designed to contains capacity buttons - I'd like more to have capacity buttons there, because now this bar sits at bottom and is useless and only makes Our phone bigger.
I was hoping for some time that this bar is at least touch sensitive so we could simulate touch controls there (even without showing them) but no-one came with this yet.

I'm using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. It's almost the same but with a little more settings. I prefer it.
For anyone using ultimate nav bar, a there a manual switch to toggle the bar? I don't like having the bar disappear on me, but I don't like leaving it on all the time either.

Nope (and I 'd like that to). Maybe you could ask the developper, he seems to be reactive.
this app is incredible, now real 4.3 inchs :cyclops:

I was wrong, set the bar to not disappear after x time in the options menu, then call it and touch anywhere else to make it vanish. UDN is just perfect.
Yea I tried that, but I found ten second to be too short. What I did was install auto hide, it has a setting to swipe up and activate, and then just touch any empty space in the bar to close it. Great feature!

I designed a simple app that disables the backlight for the capacitive keys. It also installs an init.d script that disables them at each boot, meaning you can uninstall this app after using it, if you wish.
Perfect for roms that have a navbar but no option to disable the button lights, or anyone who doesn't need the glow to tell you where your buttons are.
I tested this on SkimKat. I'd like to know if it works on JB roms.

Does it have an option to undo the init.d script after it runs? Can it do it on the fly or does it require a reboot?

Sorry about the delay. Does it disable the backlight at all or is it only after a reboot that it fails? Does your rom support init.d?
Also, my app only disables the light, not the actual button.

I decided to give this a go since the option hasn't been merged into AOKP 4.4 yet. It does what it says. Thanks for the simple app.
K, so I hate to go back on this...It is still nice, but it doesn't seem to persist on a reboot. Any thoughts on why that may be?

If it doesn't persist it's because your rom doesn't support init.d. You could try another kernel for now. I'm dabbling at support for roms without init.d, but I hate to make my app run at boot.
