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
How can I expand all notifications on the pull down status bar with rooting. Using Nova launcher prime. I've tried using the one and two finger swipe down but it doesn't seem to work?
use gravity box.
status bar settings - notification drawer style - expand all notifications
is there a way to do it on a none rooted device as well?
almost certainly not
How do I get the status bar to not expand automatically on first touch? I'm using Gravity Box and want to change a few things in the status bar, like slide left/right on the status bar to dim/brighten the screen, but on first touch the status bar expands so it isn't possible. Anyway to disable this feature?
I have the exact same issue. I would like to know the answer to this also.
So we can "hide" the notch which is fine but it will still use each side if the notch to show icons which I hate because it only shows like 2 icons on each side. Is there a way to disaply a full notification bar under the notch?
On the right side I see the battery icon and time and on the left I see the LTE with signal status so i basically leaves me with only 1 notification icon...
tap over status bar to xpand and see other notification icon

I know that but I prefer to see the icons without having to open the menu every time.

bcoz of notch thats not possible,i think
I just randomly found out that if you tap either side of the notch, it will display a second bar with the icons for 3 seconds
My Nav Bar icons keeping disappearing using Custom Navagation Bar app. If I go into the app and toggle it off and back on they reappear but then eventually disspear again. The button will still work but no icon.
First screenshot is my settings and you can see no nav bar icons
2nd screenshot is after toggling the app off and back on, now you see my nav bar icon.
Launcher: Nova Prime
