I'm using CM 7.0.3 from sdcard.
The title says it all I guess:
Initially I just wanted the notification bar gone. So I deactivated it. But that left me without the soft buttons. I then set "volume down" to trigger the soft buttons, but that doesn't work reliably.
So this is my question: How can I permanently show the softbuttons but not the notification bar.
Alternative: How can I make the notification bar transparent? Should be simple enough, but all I can find are full blown themes or mods for other versions (froyo) or devices...

I noticed this issue after froyo and numerous fresh restarts.
The bottom dock bar of the x(philblur/motoblur) is not working properly. Usually when you switch screens the home button, phone button, and contacts button, slide down and another bar replaces it(the one with the dots representing which number screen you are on). Now what it does is that that the innitial bar never goes away and the screen bar just goes over the first bar and you can see the 1st bar in the backround. This especially looks odd when you go to delete an icon or widget because the trash can just sits on top of the little triangle icon which brings up your apps. Anyone else have this issue and know what the cause or fix is?
Ok I hate calling it the taskbar because it probably has a certain name in Android, but what is this icon with two down arrows stacked on top of each other? When I tap on it nothing happens, I can't figure it out.
I think you're referring to fullscreen. Seems sometimes those double arrows appear when they don't do anything. Try restarting, and they should disappear.
Also, open up a pdf file or something you know where the program goes full screen, then try clicking the arrow. It should toggle the status bar and make it hide.
It's definitely quirky whether it works or not, but when in apps, it is supposed to hide the task bar. I've had limited success.
yes, that is what its for, to hide the status bar when fullscreen is apply. also make sure to assign a button to make the bar reappear. for me, i have map the home button to bring back the bar.

I've mapped the home button to bring back the bar too, works well.

Yes. There are a few ways you can do that. The app at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ will allow you to hide the status bar by selecting it from the notifications, and you can show it again by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
The SGT7 Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788518) also gives an option for toggling the status bar if you hold the power button down. I stopped using HideBar after I installed this rom, because I get re-activating the status bar by accident when I had to press the bottom of the screen in a game, and the option for showing the bar when pressing the top and bottom wasn't very responsive.
The Roo case does a pretty good job of covering the Nav bar.
Thinking of trimming 1/8" off just so the Nav bar is usable.
There are no icons in my status bar except some at the top right which I can't press. It's blank. Anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I'm running Paranoid Android 4.6BETA6 on OnePlus One. Also the home button doesn't work (has feedback but does bring it to the home screen)
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I took a screenshot of the status bar (running Onyx theme to see if that fixed it, it didn't).
EDIT 2: Well, it has notifications through the pick up setting, but still not in the status bar. Also the lock screen won't trigger unless I restart my phone.
EDIT 3: Ahh, a factory reset fixed it, sorry for the question (and the very obvious answer), I just didn't want to lose my data.
Hi guys, so with emui 5.0 you can hide the navigation bar but I noticed that it interferes with the bot part of the screen for instance when I press the space bar if I go too low it won't get pressed so I'd like to permanently disable them without root.
I noticed that there's a new guide that came out just a couple of days ago that involves adb but it would appear that it doesn't work on my nate 8. I set it to 1 and then reboot but nothing happens. Navigation bar is bad as usual.
Is there anything else that I can try without root?
