[Q] How to hide notification bar?

Anyone know how to hide the notification bar? When I'm using apps I don't want to see the notification/status bar, as I want to utilize the full screen.
So no way to accomplish this?

I am a "noob", but my experience with the TF is that the notification bar is not part of the viewing screen. I could be way off base here.
Using the Gallery app the notification bar remains, but the icons are dimmed (small dots), touching the area and they appear. . Using Moboplayer the notification bar icons remain bright.
Give it a try and you'll see what I mean
i like to too. i hate that frikken white they used for the nav buttons. stock would have been better. the white is so damn annoying when reading or watching movies (i use mobo so it doesn't hide).
i have tried modaco's rom but since it's the ww version some apps don't show up.

Change status bar toggles and make it appear directly

Hello, I haven't find a way to change the status bar toggles (can't remove annoying google plus profile acces?) and to make it appear at first when touching status bar and not having to touch the top bar right icon after , screen is big enough to have toggles displayed always (I would want to make them more lilttle also).
Thanks
Have found If I pull down status bar with two finger it goes direct to toggles, it's better than nothing. To modify toggles could be something with root and not another Rom?
note, that functionality had to wait for roms

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

Flash a custom ROM like Renovate.

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.

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.

Transparent navigation bar + auto switch navbar icon colors?

Don't want to open multiple threads so I pack my two question into one.
Is there an app/ROM that has the option to turn the navbar transparent in all apps?
Using an app for custom navbar buttons I also wonder if there is an app/ROM that makes button color switch when the navbar background changes (additional buttons always stay white)

For now i dont think so, at least on non rooted devices. There are ways to make it smaller, change color or delete it and get a third party nav bar.
Im hoping and waiting for a transparent one as well. For now im rocking half nav bar
