Just to be clear, why would you rather have a status bar with no status icons instead of simply no status bar at all?

Personal preference. I want a change.I like immersive mode with pie.It's just not what I want to be honest.I would like it empty and to use a widget to relay the info that would show up.(I.e WiFi signal carrier signal clock )

Sorry, I get the "clean look" idea. I just don't understand what the difference is to you to have a clean status bar vs no status bar... I don't see why you would want the former not the latter. Or would completely hiding the status bar be an option too?

I would "hide it".I've never really been a widget person,so I'd like to try something new and use a widget to give me all the info normally displayed in the status bar,but I don't want to use something that takes away the keys I added and colored. Any thoughts?

Widget is only good if you're in the launcher. What about in apps? Some custom laucnhers can hide status bar when you're in launcher (homescreen etc) but then not when in apps. How would that suit?

I'm one of the small niche groups that actually really G.N.L.I like the functionality of swiping to my left for my cards.I think I had a ROM on my gnex that I was able to hide icons than make status bar transparent.I'll check out a few custom ROMs and see what I can come up with.If not I'll make my own build to suit my needs.won't be the 1st time...thanks for the feed back I was just looking for the cheap way out.

Use the xposed module gravity box. And use the display setting called immersive status bar. It'll hide the status bar while keeping your navigation bar. You can keep your colored nav keys, not see the status bar, and you won't have to use pie. If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what you want?

[Q] Remove notification bar time?

Is there any way to remove the notification bar time without completely hiding the bar itself (example: with MetaMorph)? Would like to replace the notification bar time with something such as the date or simply nothing at all.
Having a widget such as Beautiful Widgets display the time along side the stock notification bar time seems like overkill.

You may know this but Launcher Pro has the option of hiding the notification bar.
CM6 has this option.

the Ultimate Droid Rom also has the option to remove the clock from the notification bar instead of hiding the bar... if you don't want to do that.

"Expanded desktop" or "immersive" with soft keys?

Is there any way to use expanded desktop/immersive mode without getting rid of the softkeys?
Essentially I don't want a status bar at all, but I don't want to lose my soft keys or have to swipe up to enable.
Ideas?

With Xposed + Gravity Box, there's an option to just do immersive status bar, so the navigation bar stays, but the status bar "hides".

ART is overrated. At least right now since its in development stages. The pros of Xposed outweigh the pros of ART in my opinion.

I use xposed+gravity box on stock rom which lets you change the color of both status and nav bars. However, I'm not sure about making it app specific.

After a research on google, I found xposed download "Tinted Status Bar" it is in beta stage and it works on exlir rom for me. This what I'm looking for.
Sorry, I wasted a thread. I researched this after I posted a thread about status/nav bar changes.

Nav Bar

Since a couple of OTAs ago the customization of the nav bar has changed. I pretty much just want it to be black in all apps. There was an app "Nav Bar Apps" that did this but now it doesn't work like it used to. An example is in Nova Launcher the nav bar is always white, also in Swiftkey it's white. Any ideas?
I am looking for same thing. Black Nav bar and option to selective enable pin for all and individual apps

If you want the black nav bar back just use this theme from XDA. No need to void your warranty. Also there is Substratum for Samsung devices.

If you are familiar with ADB commands, this works perfectly for me without the root.

Thanks I've been searching for this.

I've been messing with substratum and somehow my nav bar ended up like the pixel. When I try to change it to something else, when I press home button it still shows pixel icon. I tried to remove all layers and uninstall subtratum app but the pixel nav bar remained. Is there a way to get back to stock nav bar without having to reset phone. I also installed custom nav bar app and now the spacing between buttons is smaller I think.

You'll have to uninstall the substratum theme. Settings> apps > your theme. I'm using swift dark and there are around 20 layers to uninstall.
Alright so I got the stock nav buttons back... Is there a way to get the right dimensions? I used the custom navbar app and made it more compact than it was.

Do you still have the app? Did you make a backup of the original? If you didn't make a backup you should be able to use the app to remedy your situation.
yeah not sure how to get it back to the right layout. Everything is scrunched to the center.
edit: figured it out, had to purchase app to get custom layout
now get systemui error every time I rotate to landscape. Just gonna reset my phone I guess.

Can I somehow hide status bar when opening an app?

I want to go full screen when open an app. I already hide the navigation bar at the bottom, I want to hide the status bar at the top as well, without installing third-party apps? Is it possible? (no root).
Thanks!

Try full screen display combine with full screen app.... Some app have settings to completely hide the status bar... Some just make it transparent....
