Hi there! I've got a question - is there possibility (a mod, an app or something else - but not launcher) to hide navigation bar (this bottom one) ? I want to hide it just for a while when I'm using Polaris Office to write some notes and so on. I heard about a mod that ads a button to power menu - is it possible here?
Oh that reminds me of something. Hrmmm... Oh yeah! Expanded Desktop in Cyanogenmod!

There are a couple root apps, called GMT hide bar, and GMT gestures, that you can use on stock or any ROM, if you are rooted. I found that i needed to reboot before it would come back though. So, i just stick to ROMs that support expanded view. Most custom ROMs have the ability.
Edit: most newer ROMs anyhow.

The application at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ can hide and restore the honeycomb statusbar. Currently this only works on the transformer and requires root.
For questions about the program and for help getting this to work on more devices, you best contact the developer.

Works fine on Revolver 3.2 Thanks!
Works great on ARHD 1.2.1. This exactly what I needed. There are a few app and games, such as any Divide Arts (Earth & Legend) game, that force the status bar over to the side. It really bugs me when that happens. This has eliminated that. Nice work .
Works great on Revolver 3.2, just what I needed, thanks
Many thanks! Works great on Prime 1.9 here
this app would be awesome if it had an auto hide feature with a 5 to 10 second delay, and set to load on boot.
edit... a drag down option to hide to would be awesome too.
I agree !
Work on Prime 1.9
I would like to see the option to turn it on and off.
look up honeybar. it does the same thing. I use it and its faultless in m opinion. its free but i dont think its on the market

for non native media players like mxplayer where it would keep the status bar active while watching a Movie,the stock player would hide it though.....this app manually hides it for you

I use it to fullscreen games, so that I don't accidentally hit the back button while playing. You get the status bar back with a swipe.

Works good, but it makes my homscreen lag :-(
I've noticed that any app I have used that modifies the status bar function lags the homescreen. Pity. Hidebar does not have this problem since it activated by a notification prompt.

Very good app, Thanks
I've been playing around with Mark Wei's splendid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688531StandOut library and thought I'd share one app I've been finding useful.
It's very basic and very beta.
FloatNote v1.0.4b
Edit:
Thought I better provide some info
This app is very simple. It floats on top of other windows and lets you scribble notes or little sketches.
I wrote it for me and my phone so I know it runs okay on a Galaxy Note under cm9.
It's written for the galaxy note stylus so pressure increases pen stroke width and the side button gives you the eraser.
Select ink colour by swiping your stylus along the rainbow thing on the titlebar (the title text shows the selected colour). Click the sidebutton when touching the rainbow to return to black.
It autosaves your note and autoloads it when the app opens again.
Resize the window with the triangle in the bottom right corner.
I'm using the android native API so it may work okay(ish) on other devices. If it does, let me know.
Enjoy...
Nikad
Latest Update:
Version 1.0.9b
Changelog:
Major rewrite - had to do away with Mark's standout library and reimplement some of its functionality.
Hide and restore from the notification bar
Share note with other apps, email, etc
Saves position, size and pen colour.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements in performance/reliability
Important:
This app requires API Level 14 or higher to detect the stylus so you need ICS.
There are known issues running under Touchwiz so stick with a CM9/CM10 variant.
Know to run okay on the Galaxy Note International, I717 and the HTC Flyer.
If anyone runs it on other devices I'd love to know!

No quick launch yet, sorry
If you've ran the app already, you can launch it from your recent apps. But...
Improvements in mind include being able to hide the window and then show it when you click on the notification (I had this on an earlier alpha and just need to add it back in).
Multi-page note: support for more than one page.
Share note (with whatever).
I'm not going to go too heavy on functionality though. The idea was to be simple and uncluttered.
Thanks for you interest...

New version on its way. Just going through last testing and tweaking so maybe tonight/tomorrow morning.
Ended up doing a major rewrite just to provide a small amount of additional functionality. But it's all good! It even ended up smaller.
We now have an app that will hide and restore from the notification bar, can share the image with other apps and loads of reliability improvements.
I haven't had a chance yet to run it on other devices or on stock roms so all I can say is it works on the Galaxy Note under CM9.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
If you're on a call, just pull down the status bar and click on the notification. It's a bit of an illusion that it's "hidden". Really the app is shut down and relaunched when you click the restore notification.
By the way, I see you running a stock rom. Does TouchWiz not cause problems with FloatNote?
Thanks again for your interest!
Ok. That makes sense. I can restore it from the notification bar if it is hidden.. only thing the app must be up and running before that..
I do not use Touichwiz when there are great lauchers namely Nova these days.. It has been some time since I went back to TW
I use float to be called in one of the gesture of NOVA which is great. You would do a scrolling option on the screen if possible. That will help me add longer notes rather than extending the window,,
Thanks. :good:
Working great on RocketRom v10!

Will try again via desktop soon.

That's a solution but unfortunately that's not cutsomisable as we can found in ICS or JB custom roms.
As for me, I'm very interested with one navbar with search and power buttons, plus the possibility to change the bar height.

thx mister
there is no need to do so many changes in build.prop and what not. simply Install gravitybox in xposed framework(and ofcourse reboot your phone after enabling it). goto navigation bar tweaks, enable master settings. all other settings are pretty straightforward.
For aligning it, goto ''gravitybox ->navigation bar tweaks->custom settings'' and enable softkeys. play with these settings for a while till you end up with what you want, Bcoz i did .
And yes, before you ask, disabling hardware buttons is still not supported in gravitybox, so you'll have to do it the hard way. personally, i feel more is good.
I was just curious if there was any way to move the bottom toolbar (both samsung pop up apps bar and the system toolbars/home keys) to the top of the screen? This would make writing crap on the screen SO much easier and less annoying! I'm on an official JB ROM but am, willing to flash a custom ROM provided s-note/multi-tasking/all other samsung software that made me choose a note over a transformer prime are available to install on top of the ROM.
My sincere apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere.
Cheers,
Nick

I second this. Right now what im doing is to use gmd gesture control to hide the status bar whenever I need to do some heavy writing.

You could try a custom launcher, Nova or Apex or whatever.

Hey guys!
I would like to share with you a new update of Settings Extended app before it is pushed to Google Play. The app allows to put setting toggles to the notification bar, it is very customizable and supports multiple rows of settings, if needed.
It would be nice to have your feedback on it. The app is optimized for phones and 7" tablets. Bigger tablets will be supported soon too.
Thanks!

Well, when you click it, it opens an activity displaying a torch (which isn't necessary at all). When you disable the torch then with your notification (to turn it off), it closes and then opens the Torch activity again.
It would be nice if:
1) Clicking the torch (in the torch activity) toggles the flashlight
OR
2) No Torch activity
Btw, do you have a working torch on all HTC devices? I am a developer too, and I can't get it to work on some of them.
If you want a code snippet or anything as an example I can send it to you.
I copied my flashlight code straight out of the AOKP ROM Source.

In all my apps I use self-written code for the flashlight. It looks very similar to the one in AOKP/packages_apps_Torch. On HTC phones there is built in flashlight which I start. I only use my flashlight in case standard flashlight app cannot be started. By the way, your flashlight doesn't work on Galaxy Nexus. It flashes once and then switches off immediately.

I cannot change GPS directly because it is a secure setting. Android protects it. That's why a shortcut to system settings is available only.
