hi,
anyone knows/can suggest what could replace our trusted "honeybar" for ICS? honeybar - of course - will not work since it's for honeycomb
I tried HideBar app, but it's a hit or miss App, sometimes it works most times you'll find it hard to bring the Status Bar up,compared to honeybar wherein it's so responsive.
any other suggestions aside from the paid GestureControl Full/Lite and Hide Bar?

Have you tried a Launcher that supports hiding of the notification bar? Go Ex and HD, Adw, and etc. They can hide the status/noti bar with gestures or a click.
gesture control
Gesture control is awesome for ics will hide bar and bring it back with a three finger swipe. Plus you can use gestures to replace the soft keys you hide.

So I've been looking around but have found nothing. I'm using LMT launcher on CM10.1 and I just want to hide the Nav bar but still be able use notifications and quick settings, I've tried enabling expanded desktop but that hide the notifications, I also tried using Gestures to open the Nav bar and the notification button in PIE, but if the desktop is expanded it won't work. And Help??
People... sometimes I miss all the 4.7 screen for games or reading. Then I thought about an easy way to turn the notification and status bar on and off at my will, not needing to reboot the phone or mess with the build.prop everytime.
My phone is the xt925 and I use ICS 4.0.4 Retail Brazil rooted.
All you need are two programs (they are paid and totally worth the money) + ROOT (rooting is very important for them to work). Of course you can try other programs. I´m not advertising. I´m just giving an idea.
Download 'GMD hide bar' to have control over the notification and status bar at your will. And also download 'Virtual Button Bar' to replace the notification bars.
When I want to read my ebooks or play some games I use these 2 programs and they always work pretty well.
Also, Virtual Button Bar has a really nice function that is: The button controls stay hidden on the position you want of the screen and then, if you just pass your finger in front of the light sensor (don´t even need to touch the screen), they appear.
Its really convenient and awesome!
Hope you enjoy!

I tried GMD Hide Bar on my Maxx HD running JB (4.1.1) but every time it hid the Navigation Bar on the bottom it also hid the Status Bar on the top. I've found several apps that'll hide them both but no app that'd hide the bottom bar and NOT the top bar. I assume that the reason these apps are set up like this is that in tablets running JB the two sets of functions are BOTH in the bottom bar, not in two separate bars. Have you been able to get GMD Hide Bar to hide the Navigation Bar and not the Status Bar?
Title is pretty self explanatory. I love Immersive/Expanded mode. I use LMT Launcher and LockerPro Lockscreen banner notifications, so don't need to see the status bar often. However, I do find it a little annoying to have to swipe to show the status bar, then swipe again to expand the notification drawer. I have tried a few status bar expander apps, but they just don't work unless I already swipe to show the status bar. I've looked around at various apps and Xposed modules, but haven't found that solution yet. Any ideas?
When I use any app to hide the status bar on my rooted 7 Pro it will work until I lock the screen then it will stop working until I disable and re-enable.
Nova launcher hide status bar on homescreen always works.
And then when the statusbar is hidden, the keyboard when it slides out, will either push the top of the app out of bounds, or the app will not condense and the keyboard will hide the bottom of the chat including where the text is going.
Is this a common problem with hiding the statusbar, or is this an internal issue I am facing.
-Thanks
Hi!
so i want to hide the android status bar.
I already did this by putting every app in immersive mode via ADB.
BUT there is a little downside that drives me crazy.
I navigate to e.g. the homescreen by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
With immersive mode on it needs 2 swipes. First swipe shows the status bar, second swipe brings me to the homescreen.
I use Nova launcher and there i can hide the status bar so that the bar will not be shown on the first swipe, but that works only outside any app.
Any idea how Nova Launcher does this?
I'm on Android 11 on a S20 FE 5G if thats of importance.
Thanks!
