Status Bar Removal beta + FullScreen beta [JellyBean]

Seeing as how some were concerned with burn-in/didn't want the status bar I'm releasing a first step towards it.
The status bar has been removed, however apps don't seem to reclaim it. I'll be working on this tonight/tomorrow and post any updates on it.
This is for Bigxie's v1 version of JB.
Update:
Adding a fullscreen version that permanently remains fullscreen after 2-3 force closes (There's only a few but they stop after a minute or two and I've yet to have any issues with anything else though I haven't extensively tested it).
XDA is having issues with photos for me, screenshot is here: http://postimage.org/image/yx6en8kif/
FullScreen Mode: http://multiupload.biz/0y10uw1bgdgh/FullScreen Mode_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
And for those with issues:
Standard JellyBean:

one questions: are only the icons removed or the hole status bar includig the black background?
the status bar doesn't burn in. the rest of the screen just loses brightness, whereas the status bar is black and doen't emit light. the oleds in this section and in the softbutton-section don't lose brightness because they aren't used that much. that's crappy, cause it is pretty good visible after just a couple of months of usage.

The whole status bar is gone, you can't even slide it down or anything. Also could you elaborate on the losing brightness part please?
Also if anyone else has ideas I'm willing to try them. Causing the SystemUI to crash it enters the correct full screen for a min or two, but that isn't permanent nor ideal.
especially the blue subpixels lose brightness the older they get. entering fullscreen mode, let's say watching a movie, shows, that the status bar and onscreen buttons area are more blue than the rest of the screen. this is because these areas weren't used that much.
samoled is very crappy when it comes to longevity. especially for power users it's really bullsh... i had it on every samsung samoled so far. only omnia 7 with windows phone doesn't show these "burned icons" because it's mostly running in full screen, except you touch the status bar, then the icons pop in.
Lol sorry to say but after reading this thread ... I'm just as confused as the box boy in your phones background... =\ not going to try this one...

I've seen a couple of requests like that one. Notifierpro apparently lets you (I've never tried it) and my curiosity as to how to actually remove the status bar lead me to this. (I'm not so worried about the burn in, and will leave my status bar there, I just know a couple of people seemed to want it gone to remove burn in)
Why not hide it with Nova/Apex launcher?

Because it will come back whenever you go into any other app. I don't care for this mod, but can see its use for some.

I might be able to make an app do it, to swap out the SystemUI.apk when toggled. idk if you can do that with the phone running though.
hi matt
just installed your Full Screen mod
and my Gnex is never starting (stays on bootloop)
I have the Jelly Belly V2 ROM
any idea ?

Probably isn't compatible with Jelly Belly V2.
I've only tested it on bigxie's v1
strange as it it is system.apk or system UI if I'm right , so must be the same on JB ROMs

Games (Pokemon Go) immersive Mode/Expended Desktop

Hi, i played around with the freedom os rom, but some things I didn't like. So I flashed back to official.
Now when I play Pokemon Go the statusbar is complete black (attached screenshot).
Also when I start the game. There are a notification for like 1sec that "immersive mode is activated, swipe down to deactivate". But I can't do this, because the statusbar is already there.
Anyone also got this problem?
I think I remember that the game was full screen with status bar and navbar as Semi-Transparent.
Appreciate any help
Edit: can someone who doesn't changed something on there OP5T just start PoGo and take a screenshot?
Edit: just found the Option Settings>Apps>Fullscreen Apps
There was a 16:9 compatibly mode activated. I don't know why.
Now it works like it should.

Just hide the nav bar when you can

This. That's all you really need to do. The only time I've ever seen burn in on an OLED phone besides the nav bar is on my grandmother's S8. And that's because all she does is play a solitaire game so the layout is burned in on her screen. For a normal person, as long as you don't use one app all the time and as long as you can hide the nav bar from time to time you don't really need to worry about it.

How about burn in on the status bar? That one is static.

Disable Immersive (fullscreen) mode

Hi, Iam looking for any app, xposed module, flashable mod or what ever works that will disable immersive mode in app. Most apps are grayed out in setting > display > full screen and Iam not able to change their settings. I like infinity screen but this feature is anyoing as HELL. Thank you
Not sure I completely understand what you want, you like full screen but want to disable it?
This can hide top and bottom bars

What good is the huge screen if you can't use it all?

Hi Guys,
Just moved over from a Xiaomi Mi Max 3. I'm certainly not a notch guy on phones, but it's hard to ignore a 7.2 inch screen.
I have disabled the button navigation at the bottom of the screen to maximize screen real estate, but what I notice is that pretty much every app I run wont use the space beside the camera notch. It will either go "full screen" and leave the time, date, battery etc up there, or it will black all that stuff out. In both cases the apps don't actually use any other that space up there. Google Maps for example, it runs "Full Screen" and the time and date stuff is blacked out but the app wont actually use that space. If you're not using the space for the app why not leave the normal stuff up there?
I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the apps, or the UI itself? With video apps like you tube you can zoom out to take advantage of the extra space, but most app like Chrome don't use any of this space.
I'm scratching my head on this one as maybe this is how things are on "notch" phones?
Hey
Do you have some screenshots of both cases ? i'm not sure i understand you properly. I'm planning to buy the phone but i was expecting a way to force full screen apps normally like on samsung without this kind of issues.

Right, but that's the problem. Fire up Google Maps and turn the phone in landscape mode and that notification bar goes completely black. It's not being used "full screen" by google maps, it just becomes dead space not used for google maps or the notification bar.... You tube can be expanded to use this space. So I think maybe there needs to be an "expand" settings that makes all apps use this by default. Even with YouTube you have to do the expand every time...
Ah ok i see, On my phone it's turning transparent dark grey on google map for the notification bar. I agree it would be annoying if it's turning completely black even for screen burning.

Yup, Wasted space... We need to be able to use all the screen
I don't have mate 20 x yet. But with my previous phones I used to use app called gmd full screen immersive mode. To hide the top and navigation bars to use the whole screen.

I think it's because alot of apps don't support this aspect ratio.
You can try on the display setting of the notch. Choose "show notch" on the app that you want to run fullscreen

You can use ADB to force full-time immersive mode...
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
