I believe that the status bar should be hidden and that screen real estate can be used for apps like Twitter and Instagram, while scrolling, for optimum utilization, only thing is Oxygen OS (latest build) puts a black bar after measures are taken to hide status bar. I tried using ADB commands and apps such as Fullscrn and GMD, however the status bar is then replaced with a black bar, and the app is unable to claim that space. I want the status bar to be hidden (accessible only with swipe down) and the apps to take that space besides the notch. How would I go about doing that:fingers-crossed:?

Hi guys,
Is there any way to make our status bar longer / wider ? It really irritates me that some notifications do not show up on the status bar (like GMail, Facebook, Tapatalk etc.), because there are other apps occuping the place in status bar permanently (like CPU Usage Monitor, Battery Indicator Pro, Tasker or Avast! Mobile Security). So sometimes if I don't catch the notification sound I can't tell there is new email, facebook event or tapatalk post just by looking at the screen. I need to click on the status bar to see all the notifications. I turned off permanent notifications for some programs like Tasker or Avast, but this way they are not prevented to be killed by internal task manager. Taking into consideration the fact that status bar occupies only small part of the screen I would say it is a huge waste of space. Is there any way to hack it and make it longer / wider to display more icons / notifications ? My HTC Sensation shows more icons in the status bar and it has this nice arrow sign to indicate there are additional notifications. Here we don't have such indicator.
I'm not absolutely sure about the stock ROM -- although I think I do know and that the answer should be in the negative -- but on CM10, for example, there is an option to display the number of open notifications in the task bar. I haven't tested it so far -- if I remember to, I will give it a shot and report back in.
Bottom line: probably on a custom ROM.
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 need to block full screen mode for any App started in Android. That mean App can be opened, but status bar must be visible. I tried to search a lot of info, but still no luck. I found App that always showing status bar - but issue is, status bar have transparent color and full screen app is not attached screen, with that status bar.
I have root phone and can modify any settings, but can't update firmware. Also i tried to make overlay over screen, but still no luck, all app just ignore my overlay
Thanks
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....
Hi!
so i want to hide the android status bar.
I already did this by putting every app in immersive mode via ADB.
BUT there is a little downside that drives me crazy.
I navigate to e.g. the homescreen by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
With immersive mode on it needs 2 swipes. First swipe shows the status bar, second swipe brings me to the homescreen.
I use Nova launcher and there i can hide the status bar so that the bar will not be shown on the first swipe, but that works only outside any app.
Any idea how Nova Launcher does this?
I'm on Android 11 on a S20 FE 5G if thats of importance.
Thanks!
