I had this in another forum but didn't receive a response.
Is there a jelly bean rom where I can hide the top bar the space above the blue line? with everything I need in the bottom status bar, the top bar takes up unneeded space.
If you are referring to the kindle, swtch to tablet mode.

Yes I tried that. I've tried three different ROMs, but they all have the space above the blue bar.
WTF are you talking about?
Perhaps it is the launcher. I use Apex and have no blue bar and no space. I turn off the separator for the dock and have no wasted space. I close the dock and hide the status bar all the time for full screen.

THANK YOU! I was using ADW ex. uninstalled it. the bar is gone. thanks!
ADW is a GB/FroYo launcher, hence incomplete compatibility with ICS and JB.

I remember one of the first ROMs i flashed on my nexus was Code Name Android, and it had the option to hide the navigation bar on the lock screen only.
is this something that can easily be implemented into JB? i noticed it was taken off of ROMs because it interfered with incoming calls when the screen was on (wasn't able to answer call) just curious if it was ever fixed or if this is a simple mod that i could do myself with some layout tweaks or something.
anyone have a clue?
I use Widgetlocker - lock screen replacement app, and it has an option to hide the navigation bar. I highly recommend it, very customizable with tons of sliders/themes to choose from and is very light on using system resources and draining battery.

you sure about that? i know it has the option to hide the navigation bar buttons, but the black bar is still there.
i want the wallpaper to go from the notification bar all the way down to the bottom of the screen.

Oh okay. If that's the case then you'll need to go a different route. Widgetlocker just blacks it out.

Hopefully it shouldn't be too much different?
FNV also has it. I knocked mine all the way down to 0, and it's gone. I'm also using GMD gesture control instead for navigation purposes, getting the most out of my nexus 4's screen

I used to do this on the Galaxy Nexus but I used LMT launcher instead. How easy is it to use GMD? I only use it for launching my universal search app

flash the aokp rom. it lets you completely customize the nav bar. you can add buttons change buttons and edit things like height.

What about the status bar on top. Is there a option or mod to hide it all the time til you swipe down or something. I know the hidebar app hides both the top bar and the bottom bar at all time. But you cannot swipe down or show only the status bar without showing the navbar. Anybody knows

Lots of options open up when you get the bought app. I built my gestures to make triangles and it works really well. They explain everything and make it pretty straightforward.

I use ADW Launcher EX and it allows you to do that in settings. I believe other 4.0+ launchers have it built in.

Hello,
well I'm using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
Now, I'm using the tablet mode, because I like it.
But I don't like the bar at the bottom. I think it's pretty cool to have only one tablet bar at the top on the GNex.
Some ideas?
Thx, Keynot
I don't know why it wouldn't be possible. I think at the top would be more awkward to use one handed.

Well, yep. Tablet mode + bar at the top
Maybe it's awkward, but I'd just like to try it out.
Does anyone know how to add the app drawer icon to the home screen?
I have attached a link to a home screen image showing the app drawer in the top right corner.

Easiest way is to use a custom launcher such as apex or nova and put it in tablet mode.
For launchers, tablet mode is what they used to call it when the drawer icon was in the top right corner and there was no dock.
It's not used by default even on actual tablets now, at least on the stock launcher.
ya use nova launcher prime

Thank you for the info. Do you know why they have gone away from the tablet mode on the more recent tablets?

Three dots keep coming and going in my nav bar (refer screenie)
Aesthetically it's not pleasing, plus the first time it appeared I thought it was there to stay - so I removed dock and used nav bar for all shortcuts, and you know it - the bloody thing disappeared!?
So I was effectively locked out of the launcher... Now the frickin thing is back again!!??
How to remove/disable it??

Those three dots are the menu. It pops up in certain apps that have no other menu option. It can be disabled in most custom roms, but not the launcher.

Yup, go to settings and find your navbar settings. You should have full control over the menu button (the 3 dots)

@ all... I am aware that they are for Apex menu, that's why I disabled dock so I could use dots and nav bar for menu navigation... CM11 as far as I can tell doesn't allow nav bar tweaking. Ever since CM went legit their roms have been a lot less feature packed, my old ideos on CM7 had more options than their latest and greatest. Also, the fact it comes and goes is the problem. 4.4.4 bug w/ Apex maybe...

On my tablet certain apps use the menu (three dots) … XDA, Amazon, Movie Fone, GoodReads, etc. I have not used CM on my Gpad, but on my Asus Tablet CM11 does have Nav Bar customizations. On my Gpad I use Slimkat and it allows you to turn off the menu.

:5laps-head: found buttons...
If I enable menu autohide, it'll be gone for a whole then come back!?
I've disabled it so we'll see what functionality I lose and whether it comes back again... Remember I don't mind seeing it in app, but when Launcher is only app open - I'd like it to am-scray
Update: with auto hide it still reappears!? If I disable it apps lose functionality... Reboot, or toggle hide/show in navbar settings gets rid of it for a while... But it's as annoying as heck!

Have you contacted Apex? I've been using them for a few years and have had to contact them a few time. They're pretty good about responding.
I'm running stock ROM and Jelly Bean so I don't have this issue...sorry, that's all I got for you.

Try Mahdi Rom or Slimkat Rom and see if it happens. I use both with no issues.
