aww. haha.. too bad..
Edit: [SOLVED]
One of the biggest annoyances I have found so far in ICS is the inability to hide the taskbar, which takes up a lot of screen space in many apps and games, and leaves the picture asymmetric when watching videos.
Is there any way to hide this? I have tried using Gesture Control Root to acheive this but it doesnt seem to hide the bar.. all the other features of the app work fine though.
I am rooted, in WW .17. Any thoughts from you guys would be appreciated, thanks.
[Edit]
Using Gesture Control Root worked fine after using busybox. Finally I have the perfect tablet!

-sorry, should have been a PM-
How is this solved?

Working on my N7.
Thanks dever. pls add some function like "show status bar on screen off, hide status bar on screen unlock..." and add widget to control status bar show/hide. thanks.
would be awesome if it can be hidden for the lockscreen only on jb :laugh:
Tried this but gives me a reboot after like a minute. Even the pro does. Maybe it conflicts with my settings and all. But great apps. Im using the gesture control, too bad cant use the hide bar thingy...
Good job! Works like a charm on Motorola RAZR xt910 ICS 4.0.4.
Please add 'exit' button when I run app and when bar is hidden there are no way to go to homescreen when I using tablet mode on Lapdock.
+1 to widget control and restore bar when screen off.
Thanks

I'm using the paid version of gesture control, and I love it. One think I'd like: replacing the Launchpad with a "recent tasks" window. Right now my launchpad consists of a single button to the task switcher, but I'm lazy and I'd like to have one action less to get there..

This application is pretty similar to HideBar (http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/), an application that has been in development for over a year. It contains an intuitive user interface to hide/show the systembar.
I find the development of customizing tools like GMD very good. But as a developer you should not use the same name. This only leads to confusion for existing users.

This was not intended and happened just because title is kind of generic. Since there is no perfect solution for ICS yet without modding, it is good that alternatives are appearing so everyone can pick solution that works best for them.
I still have 50% of black navbar at my ICS tablet

You mean wallpaper is not drawn there? But applications are taking all space?
Found this here and it works great.
Type the following commands in adb/fastboot environment (adb shell) on your PC after connecting the phone in file transfer mode and usb debugging is on:
· Hide Status Bar only type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
· Hide Navigation Bar only type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
· Hide Both Bars type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
· Back to normal/default type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*

When not in use, the navigation slides down and gives you the entire screen. Swipe up to bring it back. Say bye bye to any burn in issues.
Hey man. Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

What about when you have Samsung pay how does this affect the swipe up
You'd have to try. I don't use Samsung pay. You can easily revert

It gets annoying cause you go to swipe up for the nav bar and it pulls up your s pay card. Also in messaging and some other apps that use the keyboard you swipe up for the nav bar and it brings up the keyboard and if you try to hide the keyboard and just bring up the nav bar the keyboard keeps coming up. I also noticed this breaks Samsung web browser open windows page and and add a new window. It just shows a blank page pretty much and if you try to open a new window or tap any of the options on this page nothing happens. Is it just my phone that does this or are other people having issues with this also? It's a awesome mod and thanks for sharing, if we could get those bugs fixed I would use it. I do a lot of adb testing stuff so this may have caused the issues I was having.
I would love to have the nav bar there all the time with the black semi transparent nav bar but not sure that can be done without modding the sysui framework. If anyone knows the command or if it's even possible to do through adb without root of course that would be great!

The play store if it's still on there or app.mirror would probably have it also.

i already hide navigation bar, but i need status bar (batery life, connections, clock) but i hate his black fade, i need transparent status bar. Is that posible true adb shell settings commands? or somehow ? Thanks much!
there is way to keep the navi buttons shown all the time with out hide ?
Is there a way to keep the soft keys hidden at all times ? with the pressure sensitive home key and gesture controls i could actually do without them
How do I do this? Lol. I never messed with the adb stuff really.. don't recall much about how to type in commands.. also, what will happen when I get a system update? Thanks in advance
Thanks for this, Op. I'll keep me happy until root if possible. Nice to see mods that don't require root hehe.
Thanks
Nova Launcher update 5.3 is rolling out and now we can not hide the navigation bar anymore like on previous version! Burn-in ghost is back! Really disappointed!!!

No, we can't! I tried! I went back to the previous version 5.2! These navegation bars on screen really makes me nervous! Burn-in is a matter of time! I honestly did not like their response!
Any launcher able to do this anymore?

mine just auto updated when I was reading this thread. lol ..
how can you switch back to 5.2 ? I downloaded from apkmirror but cannot install. need to uninstall first?
I can see that when in nova/home, the dot for show/hide navbar is gone, and navbar will always show.
but in other apps, it will follow hide/show setting and dot is there.
There's 2 ways
Native settings in display, and finding a theme that does transparent bars
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime 5.3 too and my navbar is still transparent on homescreen.
In addition i can hide navbar too with the dots, so i don't know what's your problem at all.
Its working like all the time before.
It's transparent but there isn't any point to hide.
I don't hide that anyway so no problem for me

You have to activate the point in navbar settings first.. i have the point and hide is working fine..
EDIT: okay, you're right, point is only visible in apps and settings, not on homescreen itself.
Good that i don't need it

The dot is working in the apps, but not in the homescreen anymore. Just updated Nova.
Suggest you *ALL* contact the dev, and leave negative reviews on the app store or youll be stuck with it like that forever. It is sheer stupidity. Most people use nova for the customisation, removing the ability to do this is pretty stupid.
2 other ideas
1, does anyone know a transparent dark theme that would take care of this problem
2, any other launcher with this much power that would keep doing this

Can use adb to hide navbar even in nova launcher.

Send me a print of your home screen please!
Guys we are talking about the navbar on home screen, okay? I see that it works in apps and settings! Yes. I know the navbar can be transparent. But the discussion is not about it! Burn-in is alive and I want to avoid the problem!
