[Q] Hide Notification Bar - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that with a stock (default) wallpaper the notification bar is transparent. But when I put any other wallpaper it is opaque and visible. See the difference in the examples in the attatchments.
My question to everybody is this.
What is your favorite app to hide the notification bar?
is it a Launcher app? a status bar app?
which one do you use?

Nova has the ability to hide the notification bar. Then you can swipe down from the top and it will reappear as needed.

Nova yes, but it works only on the launcher, not apps or lock screen. Do u have any apps/xposed frames for hidden notification bar for all situations? thanks in advance.

I hide mine with the xposed app settings module and than call it with smart statusbar +

I started using the Nova Launcher. While I do show it hiding the notification bar, it doesnt let me pull it out when I need to.
I mean like unhiding it to see what notifications are there by scrolling down from the top.
I dont want to see it 24/7 I only want it to show when i want it.. make sense?

Yeah... I don't understand why there isn't a LMT launcher for the notification bar, to have it work in the same way as their soft buttons, ya know? This would be sweet...

I use GMD Gesture Control.
I like to sometimes go full screen too, and with this you can still go back, go Home, Settings, Multitask, etc... All by using gestures (like an iPad).
I really recommend it much!
Cheers!

remove notification bar

hello
is there any way to hide the notifications bar on galaxy S i9000?
thanks
there are several apps in the market that can do that
but you will be in trouble without it
a lot of apps depends on the notification bar
if you don't have the bar, you will have no quick way to access those alerts
thanks
can you name me one app that do that?
i want to remove this while im driving with GPS to avoid the notofication bar will be stock like i had on my nexus one. this is really troble with amoled screens.
I use GDE as my Home replacement, It has an option for Fullscreen, which removes the notification bar

I do not know why you wanna hide it, but if you have launcher pro, there is an option to hide the notification bar.

Hi there...
This black notification bar somehow is ugly for this homescreen and this phone...isn't there any simple way to make it transparent or hide it without using third party application like launcher pro???
I don't think so.
Unfortunately you have to use a third party app to do this. That said, I'd love to see a mod to hide the clock, it bugs me to have one up there AND a clock widget.....
Back to topic: ADW has a hide option aswell....
I use ADWLaucher, I can hide/show the bar swiping the screen.
I use launcher pro to hide it with a swipe gesture on a dock icon to make it apear

Hide navigation bar?

Is there a launcher that can hide the navigation bar on the home screen?
S' mobitela
No. Why do you only want to hide it while on the home screen?
Edit: If you just want to hide it period, you can use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243352&d=1344188251

You need a custom rom like PA in order to do that.
Or use lmt so which is pie, so you can now hide the navigation bar buttons in expanded mode.

You can also use gmd gesture control if you want to stay on stock but quickly hide/unhide navbar using gesture, even on custom roms its faster than having to hold power button and clicking expanded desktop

This is a great way to permanantly hide navbar but keep notification bar on stock but there is 2 problems i encountered with this method, 1st prob was the 3 dots would dissapear from chrome etc and on 4.2.2 i encoutered a flicker problem quite often but it sounds like the OP wanted to just hide the bar on home screen which im not sure why lol but if thats what he wants his best bet would be gmd gesture control or custom rom with expanded desktop mode

Agreed gmd gesture looks pretty cool.

All other app hide navigation bar and notification bar. I'm developing new root app that will allow to hide just navigation bar and replace it with auto hide status bar replacement :fingers-crossed:. No system files modification and no reboot required, but root is still needed.
Try it here and let me know what you think.

[Q] Inivisible Status Bar

Is there a way to hide the status bar while keeping the functionality?
Just swipe down from top and boom notification out of no where
if you use a launcher i.e apex, nova etc you can hide the status bar and set a gesture ( i use swipe down) to show notifications

^ This
Using Apex myself and must say it's a dream!
The only thing I don't like is that widgets don't stay scaled the same after a reboot. But everything else can be configured.

Bug in Nova launcher with notification bar

Hi,
I am using Nova launcher with my Note 4.
I have not enabled the setting 'Transparent Notification Bar " but sometimes my notification Bar becomes transparent and to restore it
to non transparent, I have to restart Nova launcher.
Anybody else with the same bug ?
Daniel
I am also using Nova launcher for a long time, which app will trigger this problem ?

Understand that if the wallpaper in white color, it is the same as the color with the status bar icon, I will prevent to choose some wallpaper like this.
Sorry that I don't have s-cover, don't know why your problem =)

I am rooted but I don't remember if you can enable it with a non rooted device.. You can find this setting in «Look and feel»
from the Nova Settings.

[Q] navbar and status bar gradient

Has anyone else notices the gradient over the N4 navbar and status bar running lollipop that is not present on the N5 (and the N6 as far as i know)?
Bug or feature?
Any way of making it clear?
(n4, unlocked, unrooted, stock)
am I the only one who is bothered by this?
I never noticed it, but you're right. Must be because the Google Now launcher isn't the stock launcher on the Nexus 4

It's not the launcher that's the issue, it'll be SystemUI.apk or something similar that has the gradient in it...
there's a fix, but don't know where!!!
