Hi guys
Last night I was trying to make transparent notification statusbar and app drawer in my Starburst rom by editing framework and png's but I didn't manage to work it out how to do it. I had only bootloops I searched around the internet and couldn't find anything how to make it step by step. If anyone would help me to transform my rom into something like leedroid 2.3d I would appreciate .
Thanks for help
Just use the online kitchen to edit the statusbar, as for the app drawer. You can do it through some launchers' settings. ADWLauncherEx allows you edit it.
hey guys, i know this is an outdated question but please bear with me here. is there a mod that hides the status bar? i mean like having the homescreen at a fullscreen capacity. For notifications like that i already have iphone notifications (but id really still be able to pull down the notif centre and made my nav bar dissapear and using button saviour instead. so voila fullscreen beauty is the gnex

i use nova launcher. i have it set to always hide the status bar by default, but when i swipe down itll show/hide it.
if the rom you are using has the expanded desktop feature, you can enable it to disable both status bar and nav bar thus making your gnex full screen

im using bigxie's stock 4.2 right now, i tried using cm 10.1, but after a factory reset i flashed it and my phone just went crazy so i went back to stock roms again :/
GoLauncher gives you that option for only when using launcher...to hide status bar: preferences/appearance settings/uncheck show status bar OR GET THIS APP
GMD Hide Bar (must be rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbWQuaGlkZWJhciJd I tried this app...works good on ICS
Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back
Hey all, before I upgraded to KK, I was able to pulldown the notification bar from the lockscreen, even with my passcode enabled. Now, I can't get the notification bar to come down unless I am using swipe to unlock.
I don't remember if I had a specific app that made that happen. I am using Apex Launcher, which is what I always use.
If anyone knows how to get it working, I would appreciate the help.
Edit: Just remembered that it was the notification mod from Xposed.
It seems like on certain apps, the device hides the status bar like it's in immersive mode and it's annoying when I want to glance up to check the time. Is there a way to stop it from doing this if I'm not rooted?
Download holo themer once you changed the theme the status bar will stay there forever ☺??
