Hi all,
Is there a way to remove/hide the unfilled icon slot in the apps edge panel? For example, Apps edge has 5 slots for me to fill. I only want to fill 4 but I dont want the empty one to display the + sign.
Many thanks in advance.

ChaCha's screen is landscape, so the title bar hold a big block of the screen.
And many apps are designed for lager screens, so there are two bars on the top,
Android TitleBar and app Title...some apps have a navigation bar on the bottom,
so there are so little space to display the main content.
I'm trying to find some apps can always hide/show the android title bar to make ChaCha's screen seems a little larger...
Any ideas?

at this time there is unfortunately no solution.
but you can ask the developers of the apps if they insert the full screen function!
use taskman
It is easy, just use taskman to kill the title bar~
upgraded from the S4 on Verizon, have a few questions
1. how do I draw on screenshots/pictures now? I couldn't find an option to in gallery edit or google photo edit.
2. how do I see a text notification (an envelope) on the status bar of the lock screen instead of Verizon Wireless and the first part of the text message?
3. how do I disable the 3 buttons from lighting up?
4. which is better, Music or Google Play Music?
5. can I change the Messages theme back to blue and yellow bubbles or better yet custom bubble colors? I do not like the orange and white cremesicle theme
are these things even possible yet? I don't know if these are Verizon or Lollipop messing me up. the Verizon S6 board is dead tho
Is there anyway to fullscreen the edge so it hides the panel on the side for example when i watch youtube it fills the whole screen or when I chromecast it hides that Galaxy Note edge on the top with the black bar?
[sorry i mean S8plus not S9plus. I haven't invented time travel (yet)]
I've never had a soft one and quite like the "always there" hard buttons on my Note 4.
I'm looking for a new phone though and have finally narrowed it down to:
S8plus
Huawei Mate 9
I worked out that with the stupid aspect ratio the 6.2" screen of the s8+ is actually narrower than the M9. BUT this is clever in order to have the nav bar out the way not being a nuisance.
I was seconds from placing an order on Wonda only to have a think about the Nav bar. It actually eats up (I'm guessing a centimetre?) space at the bottom of the screen and it seems to me that this will be the case for all apps, except for games or vids I suppose. Very annoying I guess! From my searching I understand that without a root it's not easily hideable. (Wonda will be putting an international ROM on the Chinese version and I think someone said here this won't affect it being rootable but I am not sure so I'd rather not risk it).
What a real pain in the backside as it effectively reduces the screensize!
It's for this reason only that I'm considering the Samsung S8plus instead. Yes the aspect ratio is ridiculous but if my 1cm estimate is correct, going by *my* calculations of actual screen real estate I get the following:
Mate 9:
Screen width 7.34cm
Screen height 13.06cm
Actual usable height when removing the 1cm of the navigation bar = 12.06cm
Total usable screen aree with nav bar present = 7.34x12.06 = 88.52cm2
Samsung S8plus
Screen width 6.89cm
Screen height 14.16cm
Actual usable area when removing 1cm of navigation bar = 13.16cm
Total usable screen aree with nav bar present = 6.89x13.16 = 90.67cm2
It seems that even with the stupid aspect ratio the S8+ might produce a bigger useable screen.
Can anyone confirm how much screen size is used up by the nav bar?
Can anyone advise how much of an impact this has?
If anyone knows of any tricks to reduce this impact it'd be appreciated
Thanks
The nav bar is about 1/4" high. Coming from the Note 3 (and Note 1 before that), I also had some concern about going to an on-screen nav bar, but in reality, it hasn't been an issue for me. When using most apps, the loss of height isn't typically an issue. We most often use the phone in portrait mode, so it's the width that affects the scale/size of what's being viewed, the nav bar just hides area that you haven't yet scrolled to. At times when you really need the entire screen (pictures, videos, and presumably games) the nav buttons are either superimposed on the image, or go away completely.
For full-screen games/apps the navigation bar hides, and is accessible again by swiping up from the bottom. Took a while for me to figure that out (for games that have no Exit button) xD
You can install apps like Fulscrn to hide the navigation bar completely.
I get about 7.5 mm which is a little more than 1/4 an inch (about .295 inches). Here is a screen shot with and without navibar when using browser. I have the Chinese version which allows you to hide navibar.

I used GMD Immersive for a while. Tried to persevere but it was just too much trouble and eventually gave up.
Hi to all
A large rectangular icon has appeared in the notification bar on my S8+: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7BgiG9oh3RVouIAB2
I do not know from where it comes from. I would like to get rid of it.
Thanks a lot.
Icon coming from Smart Keyboard Pro

After checking, I discovered that the icon was linked to Smart Keyboard Pro. I have deactivated it. Thanks
@tunis:
Thank you; i was searching the internet for 2 days about that solid rectangular icon in my status bar.
Now I disabled it, and it's gone.
Yes, that triangle icon looks scary ?
