+1
Love this idea
Try the link below for the apk........... i havent tried it on ics yet
was just going to post up as an attachment but its not frickin working on the ics browser
http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/
it is not working for me
me either - sorry guys
From what I understand, Google pretty much locked it out completely, so it's impossible at the moment to hide the status bar. It's really annoying. :/
From the author of Honeybar: "*** Important note for ICS users: Honeybar is unsupported on ICS and will not hide the UI bar. I have examined the source for ActivityManagerService and it currently appears impossible to stop com.android.systemui"

Damn that sucks. I hope Google changes their mind or someone finds a way around this problem. I find it extremely irritating to use video and reading apps with the system bar at the bottom.
I guess I will stick with Android 3.2 for now.
There's a tweak for the Galaxy Nexus that remove the bottom bar entirely, and the person who posted it says to use ButtonSavior (on the market) to replace the soft keys. The newest AOKP rom also includes a feature to remove the navigation bar which I assume is pretty much the same as the bar on tablets.
The mod is over on RootzWiki, not sure if I can post links to it, or if it will work for the TF or could be adapted for it.
See, it's things like this that make me wonder. Why in the world would google, or anyone, lock things down so much that nobody can change anything? Disabling the status bar in honeycomb didn't do any harm. I never heard a single complaint of a bricked tablet or software problem because of disabling the status bar.
Yes!!!
Team EOS has the option the hide the system bar in an easy to use manner.
Where?

Where? Searched for "status" "system" "bar" "hide" in varying combinations as well as individually. Could you point me in the right direction. TIA.
From looking around the framework-res etc what i have seen that ICS is based on a theme called holo. Now if we could modify the framework-res and strip the black and make it transparent it should be able to be done. Decompiling it has been no problem however I am too new at themeing to provide any definite answers to recompile framework-res as i have tried but it just will not register as a proper apk. There is one issue with that however, the holo theme is involved with almost everything to do with the system. Example backgrounds for the menu system and the onscreen keyboard and a pile of other stuff plus the assorted icons would still be present back button home apps button clock and wifi.
All the edits were because my cursor diappeared.

It's part of the ROM. They don't appear to have a separate app to hide the system bar, so we have to use the full rom for now. It works the same way pre-ICS Revolver did.
Couldn't find anything on Team EOS tread about it.

With EOS for TF101 you press the power button to get the menu option to hide the status bar. The menu is shown in baseballfanz's post.

This works perfect on my A500 running ICS 4.0.3 rooted using live wallpaper - no issues whatsoever, thanks for the tip! Also really liked the gestures part of the whole thing as I can make apps launch from anywhere and probably won't even use the status bar much at from now on.
Reviewing old screenshots, I saw that I could put on ICS labels and gauges of COOL TOOL apk in the bottom bar, now I try on JB but I can´t put them in the lower area. I guess it's because JB uses that area well to lock the screen or for other purposes. Am I right?
ICS attached picture where you can see how the label of COOL TOOL is in the middle of the bottom.
I believe JB does not allow drawing over the system UI bar.

Well, really it`s a bummer because since there beneath the black background it looked great and did not bother the rest of the screen..... but we can`t have everything.

he is on the international version.
I am loving this feature and I did not realize it was a part of the latest update. I got my S8 yesterday so I didn't have much time to play around before an update showed up which I installed straight away. It's great if you are playing games without the fullscreen setting on as it makes games seem bigger by itself.
I have the same build. ATT carrier US device. No hide navbar feature for me...
it's good but what would be better is if it remembered your choice for different apps. There are some apps like instagram which I'm always needing the back button. Other like BBC News which i'm reading longer stories so don't 'need it
And they shouldn't have killed the colour picker option for the nav bar. That's horrible

Could you elaborate on how to do this with tasker? Also, how did get pie control?
Was there anything else on this update?
I had gotten the feature, then I tried to use Custom Navigation Bar app, and even after uninstalling the app the feature doesn't come back. I wanna cry =(
After update to latest update Bixby vision can only see text , no image or webpage .
I am on 950FD stock
Please any help
In some apps it works buggy, for example in snapchat when you take a picture the bottom part of the screen shows cam recording. But it is a cool feature
Hello!
So long story short I have blocked updates on my S8+ because I like my Navbar Black. But recently I removed the "block" and it registrered the update, but didn't download it. But now I have this annoying red "1" batch on the settings shortcut (the one located over the notifications-bar toggles). Anyway to remove this?

Hey try clearing data for software update and settings app . Mostly clearing for software update app will be enough.
Seriously, take the update, it is security relevant and has the hiding navbar. Use the navbar app app (yes), to keep it any color you like. Free and lightweight.
I seriously urge you to take the update because of the patches in there.

I have been considering taking the update.. Mostly because I've heard there should be another update on the they where you can control battery hocking app more.
That said I can already hide my navbar with Custom Navigation Bar (app), BUT I hate not having the navbar there at all times.. It's so annoying..
Also are you 100% sure Navbar apps can overwrite the system color?
Also I've heard people say the navbar is no longer transparent on the homescreen? And that is just ridiculous..

Ohh nice! Thank you, do you use Navbar apps? Hide it? Or just use some of the other colors?
Can you tell me which other colors you can use now?
Nav bar is transparent on home screen, I can confirm.
Screenshot attached.
Just tried "Navbar apps" by Damian Piwowarski in app store but it only works partially. It will turn the bar black when I am inside the navbar apps app and it is black when i open the app store, contacts screen, chrome, gallery, citymapper and some others, but on the home screen in Nova (the worst one since it looks ridiculous with my black background), and in bluemail and CM browser it is still white. Perhaps it is a different app @corwin_amber was talking about?
I think, we are both talking about the same app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I am using Nova Prime launcher, however and even Substratum for Samsung (no Root, would never do that) to theme everything to my likes and needs.
To me, personally, having a secure device is important, maybe different priorities (which is completely fine to me).

Waow.. so that means I will have to use the stock launcher to use the transparent navbar on my home screen? Worst update they've made..

What do you mean by a secure device?
Hi all.
Today I received the new android p update. But unfortunately differences are little to none.
Have you received the update yet?
Whats your experience with android p on lg g7?
Have you noticed much improvements?
I noticed notifications are little bit different, you have option to minimize those permanent notifications without being able to see them in notification bar. And you get options for fast reply messages form viber... probably some other apps. But it wasn't there before. And Gestures are here. I still use app called Gesture control for this coz I like it more like that. And ofc there is different recent apps look. Looks better. Other than that, everything is same.
I use google sms app and have had the notification and fast reply already.
Unfortunately I am disappointed that lg did not put any time to improve the ui.
What about camera? I do not see any improvements.
I noticed also magnified view when I try to select some text. And in camera there is now cine shot which lets you make some photos with some part moving like animation.
There is probably more of changes that I dont notice. I use nova luncher with custom themes so I knot nothing about UI how it looks like now and can't remember how it looked before.

If you turn them on in settings you will be able to use swipe right to open recent apps and switch between last used apps.
