Expanded desktop Gravitybox Not working - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Does someone have an issue with expanded desktop on gravitybox?
I can activate it but I cannot get the status bar / drop-down menu to come back when I swipe down.
I'm running 4.3 rooted and unlocked.
Thanks!

But you use stock 4.3? Gravity box is designed for cm ROM based and all function could not works properly

Yes, stock 4.3.
I know that, however everything else is working perfectly.
I would like to hide the status bar and only have a battery bar as well as the drop-down menu but I don't know how to achieve this.

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

Mmuzzy Rom Extended Desktop Question

Hey,
I have a question about this feature in the Mmuzzy 4.2.1 French Vanilla Rom for the Galaxy Nexus. I know this in the wrong section, but I don't have permission to post since I'm new. But with the extended desktop enabled I am also running the LMT app for the pie menu. However I would like to know if there is any way to enable the notification bar while extended desktop is on? Even if I use gestures to bring up the notification bar it is still blocked from opening, that goes for the quick menu as well. It doesn't have to be visible on screen at all times, but it would be nice to at least open my notification bar by swiping.
Notification bar
Hello.
I use another ROM (cm10.1) with the extended desktop enabled an LMT too.
In order to make available the status/notification bar I use an app called Smart Statusbar that allows to you show/hide the statusbar swiping on the top of the screen.
Hello again
I just see that. On the last nightlie build of cm10, you can enable the extended desktop with/without statusbar.
hmm, maybe I'll switch to cyanogen mod, I just loaded the mmuzzy mod yesterday. I originally was on bugless beast, but since there hasnt been an update in a while I figured I would switch. I usually like to stick to stable vanilla roms, but I could give it a shot
This makes me happy

Notification bar on fullscreen mode

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

[Q] No status bar with PA rom

I have no notification/status bar in Paranoid Android ROM. I can't even get to the notification menu using the gesture that I set up in Nova Launcher.
Please do not say 'turn off fullscreen mode', I'm not that stupid. I used to have a notification bar in my fullscreen mode but yesterday it disappeared, apparently for no reason, i did nothing particular. I notice that nothing in Hybrid Settings menu seems to work. No changes of dpi, colors, nothing.
I had 3.60 version of Paranoid Android when the problem appeared, now I updated to 3.99 hoping this would have helped. Nothing changed. And I really don't want to change ROM or to do a clean install of PA. :crying:

Lg g3 hide status bar and navigation bar

Hi,
I would like to know if there a way to hide the status bar and navigation bar everywhere and swipe up or down or make them appear.
I know you can do this in the browser app and for the navigation bar in certain app.
Didn't find anything in tweekbox app.
Hey mate!
Give this link a go.

Might be what your looking for. Basically what you want is Immersive mode that's available on Stock roms like CM11 and AOKP. Unfortunetly we don't have an unlocked bootloader for this phone yet, so we don't have access to this yet. Please note the above link only works for the nav buttons. You could also check out removing the nav buttons (via tweakbox) and replacing with LMT, pie controls! works like a charm for me
have a good one!
Use nova launcher with LMT pie controls
It's easy to hide the Navbar. Settings/ display/ home touch buttons. Then select hide home touch buttons. Tick all the apps you want them to be hidden on.
Use Nova Launcher... (+1)
You can assign gestures to show/hide status bar and the dock (I use double finger swipe up to show/hide status bar, and down for the dock icons. In the settings you can select Nova to hide nav bar which will complete the trick for you. Like this...
Thanks !!! It worked using nova and pie. But again , the status bar is not hidden in all the apps.
Use xposed. Gravity box module can do it I believe.
G3
I use gmd gesture control and auto hide soft keys to dispense of the nav bar. Gesture control also has an option to hide the status bar although I don't use it personally.
