Is it possible to make stock internet browser auto hide the address bar like on note 2 and the option to hide status bar would be nice too?
Yes ..... When you're on your browser, you must go to settings and then be Lab menu you will have to check the box!
Thanks for your advice but I was aware of that feature. What I actually wanted to ask is why doesn't it automatically hide, the address bar, when scrolling like on note 2 or S3? On those devices, in the lab menu there is the option to even hide the status bar but our note 8 is in lack of that too. is there a tweak for all that?

So, when you make the browser full screen...is there a way to get the status bar to show when you want? In sense roms, you just have to hit the menu button...you don't have to exit the browser...
Seems like a petty thing, but I could live without the smart dialer...the Sense browser...but damn it, this one feature is (for some strange reason) a must...
Oh, and is there a way to disable the search bar and use the address bar that the search bar pops up on top of? (sorry if that last sentence was structured like ****...I've been at work for what seems like forever today...)
I want to use the option to hide my notification bar at the top which will hide my mobile/bluetooth/wifi status.
I was hoping to find a way to add them back to the home screen in the form of a customizable widget.
I tried using UCCW widgets but they don't offer anything other than dates/time/weather etc.
thanks in advance

Check out Dashclock and the dashnet extension on Playstore. The Dashnet extension doesn't show Bluetooth status but there may be anouther extension that does.
As the title says, I want to use Tasker to hide my status bar, and temporarily reveal it when my finger is over the proximity sensor. The sensor part of it works fine but I can't find a method of toggling the status bar that Tasker can use.
I've tried:
-The native status bar option in Tasker which doesn't seem to work on this device
-SystemUI actions: I can use the SecureSettings Tasker plugin to run activities. Which means I can toggle the navigation bar fine but the status bar does not seem to be an option
-Hiding the status bar in Apex launcher only: I can add a shortcut to it on my homescreen but Tasker doesn't seem to be able to call Apex actions. I'd prefer not to use this method as it would only work on the launcher
Essentially what I'm looking for is an app that toggles the status bar and has an activity that I can access through Tasker, that lets me toggle it.

Thanks in advance for any help!
I know this is probably not what you want, but with Nova Launcher you can hide the status bar and assign a simple gesture to toggle it.
I've now got it working with the Apex actions using a different plugin but as I said it only works on the homescreen. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply... You're right in that it's not what I'm aiming for, I can do the same on Apex but it's less fluid than using the sensor. I also want a system-wide kind of thing that will work everywhere rather than just the homescreen.
If you have the "expanded desktop" option in your rom, you can use an app called "Locale", with a plugin called "Secure Settings", to trigger the expanded desktop by turning the phone facedown. That may not be quite what you're after, so another thing you can try is an app called GMD GestureControl. I'm pretty sure that has a fullscreen option in it.

I've tried GMD, but it's too laggy. Secure Settings works on Tasker as well as Locale but the expanded desktop feature isn't there.
I think it's silly that LG has given us this big beautiful screen and diminishes it's full glory by not easily allowing you to hide the top status bar. I am pleasntly supprised about the fact that they let you hide the home navigation bar on the bottom. Love that.
So getting to work, how do we hide the top status bar in the same way as the bottom bar with a swipe to activate on demand?
So far on my quest I have done the following:
Placed the phone in developer mode and allowed USB debuging. Described here in the a PurpleDrake how to guide that I used: http://www.droidviews.com/root-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-t-mobile-lg-g3-d851/
PurpleDrake: Rooted, Installed TWRP, Disable LG Security. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/root-twrp-root-twrp-tmo-lg-g3-t2821005
Installed Xposed Framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
Installed G3 TweaksBox and activated the module in the Xposed Framework https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox&hl=en
I have searched and searched google, xda and all the phone settings looking for an easy way to hide the status bar. What am I missing? Can someone please help? I hope this will benefit a lot of people. Thanks :good:
If you download gravity box module for xposed you can put the phone in expanded desktop mode which will hide the status bar

Is that just for the homescreen view or all the time? I'm looking to hide it while in applications. The same way the home nav bar at the bottom hides. Thanks
I use ADB launcher to get the job done.

ADB Launcher allows you to hide the notification bar and create a bottom drawer where you can use folder editor to put in category Icons that when pressed open up a slideable selection bar to select programs stored under that icon. Everything is neat and tidy on mine. No wasted screen space.

Thanks. More that I play with the phone, the more I realize that I actually just want the web browser to go full screen. Just need the status bar to hide when browsing. Don't really want to install an aftermarket launcher.
For other people's benefit, in case anyone else finds this thread that wants to use their phone's full screen. I found a solution that seems to fit the bill. I'm using an app called full!screen that says it's for tablets but seems to work almost perfectly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen&hl=en
It has a pie menu included so you don't even need the pie app.
hey guys
As you know there is an auto hide option for the taskbar in windows that would hide it when its inactive
I was wondering if there is any similar option\app to hide the status bar in our phones, without root, so the status bar would hide when not needed and when we need it, we can swipe it down.
I have googled it and I think its called immersive mode
any ideas?

As far as I know that feature can only be used with xposed or custom roms. So no, there is no option to use it without root.
Nova Launcher provides ability to hide notification bar but not sure if root is needed.

I found an app (GMD) that doesn't need root, but actually its focus is on navigation bar rather than the status bar, so I didnt like it.
anything else?

My bad. I only thought about solutions which keep the sense launcher.
