I haven't seen one so far, but you might drop pjc21 a line -- he's been editing the stock theme for a while now and might know what to do with it.
Cant help you but for better search results it has something to do with systemIU.apk I believe.

There has to be a way to hide the status bar. obviously in numerous diff launchers, there is the option to swipe up or down to hide/bring back your noti bar. the noti bar lies within the systemUI.apk (or so i can tell via switching themes). anyone know how to edit the xml that allows for hiding the noti bar? it looks sick when i adb push the systemui.apk and it dissappears. Help!
the statusbar has the home, back, menu keys built in; its probably a bad idea to hide it
I was thinking about this also. It would be nice for apps to go true fullscreen and overlap the status bar. Maybe its an app issue but Remote RDP Lite makes it awkard as when I set the resolution to 1280x800 the bottom part actually gets covered by the status bar.
I suppose I can set it to be like 1280x750 or something...

I'd like the option to hide it whenever.

this would likely require use of a hardware button, since I dont think android CAN support gestures that work over all apps, and I cant think of any other input method you could use
edit: wouldnt be a bad use of the power button since the battery is good enough without it needing to sleep and the lockscreen is sort of pointless because its not in your pocket. Maybe a popup menu on the power button like on phones?
I'd like the ability to move the status bar to the top. This would make it easier to access when I'm holding it with my left hand and resting it on my legs. Right now, if I move my left hand to hit back or home, I then need to grab my xoom with my right hand to keep it steady.
One option would be to use the up down volume keys to move the status bar up or down. Volume could be handled more easily from the notification tray, it isn't as necessary as on a phone to have an alway accessible volume button.
Hi,
There is a little menu bar that pops out of the right hand side when the s-pen is ejected. I want to change the icons on that bar.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to do this. I've googled extensively, and all I can find is information pertaining to the menu bar on the bottom of the screen.
I can't be the only one who wants to do this. Am I missing something?

Is there any way to disable nav bar on lock screen? Also, I'd like to get rid of menu button and have on screen menu buttons. Is there any workaround?
PS: I don't want to spam dev thread. That's why I'm asking here. .

That's pretty much how miui behaves, miui apps don't have a overflow button
so the navbar requires the hardcoded menu button

No, apps do contain overflow button. I tried to change the nav bar using Xposed. No luck.
When I had my LG G2 some time ago, I was able to customize the buttons on my dock. I was able to have a back, home, sadly no multitask button, but there was an option to have a button that would drop the notification bar.
I've been looking for an app, or solution since the Z5 is on the big side. I went through all the phones settings, but couldn't find the option. Anyone know of an app that may offer this functionality? I'm searching, but haven't found anything. I did find an app, but I'd rather a button added to my button dock that's always available.
Thanks
you would need root to do so.
Damn, is there any non root solution? Don't want to void warranty less than a week after buying it lol

you can install another launcher like nova launcher. There you can do everything. E.g. expand notification bar on swipe down or create shortcuts to open the bar...

Awesome, thanks for this. I already use nova launcher so looked through the settings. The best option I found was pressing the home button while already on the home screen and it'll drop the notification bar. Not exactly what I want, but gets the job done. The ideal solution would be to have a fourth, dedicated button beside the multitasking button that dropped the notification bar without having to be on the home screen. Just like the keyboard icon in the bottom right when a keyboard is open.
The G2 did this perfectly with the built in options. Wish about offered this on the stock Rom. Thanks for the tip GZA, at least I can do this from the home screen now.

What about swipe down on the home screen to open the notification bar?

Is that supposed to work? I swipe down on the home screen but it doesn't do anything.

Er, that's how Android has worked since at least Jellybean 4.1 (first Android version I ever had). Start with your finger just above the top of the screen and swipe down.

In Nova settings you find gestures and input. There is swipe down option. You can add expand notification there... But this feature could be in paid version only. Not sure...

Er that's how Android has always worked, and not what my question is. I'm looking for a solution to drop it without doing that as this phone is too tall.
Anyone?
What?

With the new update you get a new button on your nav bar. A small white dot - bottom left. Press it and you get immersive mode i.e. no more nav bar. However, i would rather use that button for something else.
