Helllpppp, my 1 year old kid was playing with my phone without me knowing, and caused the status bar and navigation bar to auto hide at all times.
Been looking everywhere online but all results require either installing an app or a special theme, and I don't want either.
How did he do it?? lol and how do I restore it?

People... sometimes I miss all the 4.7 screen for games or reading. Then I thought about an easy way to turn the notification and status bar on and off at my will, not needing to reboot the phone or mess with the build.prop everytime.
My phone is the xt925 and I use ICS 4.0.4 Retail Brazil rooted.
All you need are two programs (they are paid and totally worth the money) + ROOT (rooting is very important for them to work). Of course you can try other programs. I´m not advertising. I´m just giving an idea.
Download 'GMD hide bar' to have control over the notification and status bar at your will. And also download 'Virtual Button Bar' to replace the notification bars.
When I want to read my ebooks or play some games I use these 2 programs and they always work pretty well.
Also, Virtual Button Bar has a really nice function that is: The button controls stay hidden on the position you want of the screen and then, if you just pass your finger in front of the light sensor (don´t even need to touch the screen), they appear.
Its really convenient and awesome!
Hope you enjoy!

I tried GMD Hide Bar on my Maxx HD running JB (4.1.1) but every time it hid the Navigation Bar on the bottom it also hid the Status Bar on the top. I've found several apps that'll hide them both but no app that'd hide the bottom bar and NOT the top bar. I assume that the reason these apps are set up like this is that in tablets running JB the two sets of functions are BOTH in the bottom bar, not in two separate bars. Have you been able to get GMD Hide Bar to hide the Navigation Bar and not the Status Bar?
I love the new transparent status and navigation bars, and I like the new signal bar and battery colors, but now I can't see if my connection is up (pinging Google) or not.
The traffic arrows have been moved to the notification drawer widgets, so you can't tell if data is passing just by looking at the status bar. It's no biggie, but while trying to troubleshoot why Spotify wasn't showing album art or avatars (FYI, it's a bug), I realized I couldn't tell if my data was working.
I'm sure this can be fixed eventually with some tweaks, but this made me realize how much I rely on this on my day to day

Thumbed up. I was searching for this, it's a must use when you switch from home to work, and you need a fast way to enable data on phone.

Hi everyone
I just received my new OP 6 and it's an amazing phone but there is any way to customize the status bar and navbar ? I mean I had the OP 3T and with Substratum and Ozone there was many possibilities to change them. But I haven't find the same module for the OP 6.
Any suggestions ?
No WiFi icon seen on top status bar how it can restore on top of status bar like auto rotate cast location hotpot etc
Hello guys, as many of you already know that there are many ways to hide status bar. I tried hiding it with ADB and it was pretty good until the keyboard shows in front of the typing box on WhatsApp or other apps. Sometimes you are not even able to see what you type. Editing your writings becomes a problem. So I switched back. I don't know any other alternatives to hide the status bar without having this issue. Is there any alternative that hides the status bar without creating other problems?
I miss having a rooted phone for this simple reason.
Anyone found a way or app to display the date in the status bar in this format m/d/yy ?
