I have used full!screen and Hide Bottom Bar and both seem to work in a similar manner.
The issue I have is when I use LMT (pie) the recent apps functionality and the notifications tray doesn't work.
I want to hide the bar but be able to bring up the notifications tray. It's easy to do on a phone, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my tablet.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Indeed this would be very handy. Hope someone comes up with the info.

Looking for a theme (or setting) that allows you to pull down your status bar while it is hidden. I currently have my status bar hidden, but I must open up an app in order to pull it down.
I couldn't find a thread for this idea. I apologize if I am doubling up on threads if one exists. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
Launcher Pro (and I believe a few other homescreen apps) allow you to assign a button to show the status bar (or notification panel). I have it set so that the home button shows my notifications.
Best of luck!
ADW can set this on swipe up/swipe down so that you would swipe down just as if the Status Bar was there even though it isn't.
Thanks for the responses. I've tried both and now have to decide which one I like more. haha
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?
Hi there. Lovin the N5 so far. Definitely the fastest phone I have ever used (and I've used tons). Trying to move to more gesture based things and looking for a way to hide the status / nav bars so I can just use Pie and swipe down for status bar / notifications. I can use GMD Gesture Controls to hide both, but it reverts back to normal after I lock the screen. Plus the status bar doesn't swipe down easily if at all like that. Anyone else have any ideas or just have to wait till more devs get their N5s to build up the KitKat support for mods?
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
Hello guys, as many of you already know that there are many ways to hide status bar. I tried hiding it with ADB and it was pretty good until the keyboard shows in front of the typing box on WhatsApp or other apps. Sometimes you are not even able to see what you type. Editing your writings becomes a problem. So I switched back. I don't know any other alternatives to hide the status bar without having this issue. Is there any alternative that hides the status bar without creating other problems?
