How can we hide the status bar from the screen so that when we use the internet exprorer mainly,to have all the screen for browsing?
Yes, there's a few options, I use GMD Gesture Control. But I believe others in the forums are using Hide Bar and maybe Honey bar?

GMD Gesture control is far better than the other options (honey bar and hide bar). In fact, I think the dev initially wrote the program for this tablet.
Yep, GMD is the best, tried several apps and this is the most stable and customisable

GMD GestureControl fix for ICS
You have to install BusyBox from market (look for some BusyBox installer) if StatusBar hiding is not working after upgrade to ICS. I'm working on solution that would not require BusyBox.

Installed BusyBox and GMD is able to hide the StatusBar now, but for some reason it wipes my wallpaper in the process. Any ideas?

This is known issue on ICS. Static image wallpaper is running on same process as status bar. So when I kill status bar process image wallpaper is killed too. I cannot fix this with current status bar hiding approach.
Workaround for this is to use Live wallpaper (you can try Simple Image wallpaper from market).
status bar
I have downloaded busybox also. Installed lite version of urs. But status bar dont hide!
Using ics on my galaxy tab 7.7. Need help. Othergestures works very well nice jobb. I cant buy it if i cant hide status bar.

Open GMD settings, scroll down and try selecting "Use BusyBox" checkbox (last option). I still have to update my P6800 to ICS and try it myself. Then I will look for solution that would not require BusyBox install.
Note that my main focus is gestures and status bar hiding is just one experimental action that still has issues. Please check custom gestures or LaunchPad for more actions.
Yea working fine.. Using custom ^^

Updated to version 2.2.5. Should work without requiring BusyBox install.
Thanks! I gotta say, this is a must-have app for me. I would like to see Android Central feature this app so you can get the support you deserve.

I'm sure I have seen it mentioned on either Android Central or Android Police a while ago. Though I agree it should get some more attention. Especially with the effort StupidIdea goes to to support it.
Update 2.2.5a:
Code snippet for testing new feature sneaked into market that would put overlay on screen and make device unresponsive if vibrate on gesture is turned on. Fixed.

hi,
anyone knows/can suggest what could replace our trusted "honeybar" for ICS? honeybar - of course - will not work since it's for honeycomb
I tried HideBar app, but it's a hit or miss App, sometimes it works most times you'll find it hard to bring the Status Bar up,compared to honeybar wherein it's so responsive.
any other suggestions aside from the paid GestureControl Full/Lite and Hide Bar?
-source
Gmd gesture control requires a workaround for ICS for now, but it works. You've got to install busybox and set gmd gesture control to use busybox. Its all in a thread floating around in the p6800 forum

the latest version of gesture control which was update today no longer need busybox..
I want to use PIE control instead. Is there some kind of build.prop mod or something that hides the nav bar?
Might be worth going for a custom ROM that has PIE. All you then have to do is switch to Expanded Desktop and there you have it!?
You'll find many ROMs that do PIE. There is also a launcher that does that, it's called LMT Launcher. You will find it here on XDA.

I don't want to flash a whole new ROM. I just want the PIE control and nav bar removal. PIE control has a Play Store app so I don't need to flash that but I know there has to be some kind of simple mod to remove the nav bar.
Ah, ok, didn't realize there was an app for it.

It seems to force tablet UI, but the nav bar still remains. I know there was a way to make the nav bar appear for the Note 2 so there has to be a way to hide the nav bar for the Nexus 7.
download LMT launcher, it's been around longer than PIE has and doesn't require any specific rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
you can go into google playstore and search for PieControl Pro. There is a free version and a pro version for $1.99

So can this hide the nav bar?
Flash ParanoidAndroid ROM it has built in PIE navigation in Quick Settings so when you tap on it your navigation bar hides and PIE control activates and if you are worried about Tablet UI you can turn it off any time you want. =)

are you on the stock rom? not sure if LMT can hide the navigation menu. you may as well just flash any other rom since almost every other rom lets you hide the navigation menu anyways. LMT is also way more customizable than PIE.
At the end of build prop add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Save and exit, I don't believe it works on stock rom though but I could be wrong.
I use this on roms that don't have it built in navbar hide built in, and I use lmt launcher, because I prefer it to pie.

Is there a launcher that can hide the navigation bar on the home screen?

No. Why do you only want to hide it while on the home screen?
Edit: If you just want to hide it period, you can use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243352&d=1344188251

You need a custom rom like PA in order to do that.
Or use lmt so which is pie, so you can now hide the navigation bar buttons in expanded mode.

You can also use gmd gesture control if you want to stay on stock but quickly hide/unhide navbar using gesture, even on custom roms its faster than having to hold power button and clicking expanded desktop

This is a great way to permanantly hide navbar but keep notification bar on stock but there is 2 problems i encountered with this method, 1st prob was the 3 dots would dissapear from chrome etc and on 4.2.2 i encoutered a flicker problem quite often but it sounds like the OP wanted to just hide the bar on home screen which im not sure why lol but if thats what he wants his best bet would be gmd gesture control or custom rom with expanded desktop mode

Agreed gmd gesture looks pretty cool.

All other app hide navigation bar and notification bar. I'm developing new root app that will allow to hide just navigation bar and replace it with auto hide status bar replacement :fingers-crossed:. No system files modification and no reboot required, but root is still needed.
Try it here and let me know what you think.

I tried the Wanam xposed module and it gave me weird results.
The normal behavior of holding home to view recent apps, broke and changed to search instead, making me unable to open recent apps.
The multiwindow option in Wanam added all apps to the multiwindow list, but they weren't actually there. For example, when trying to place baconreader app in my multi window list, it was actually Samsung Apps. Really strange.
***********************
HOWEVER
the multi window xposed module works beautiful
Also, 4 way power options didn't work.
Really buggy if you ask me.

I know certain ROMs come with extended desktop/pie controls but is there a flashable mod anywhere with that feature? If so, can something like that be ported to the Nexus 10 for use on the Project Flaming Monkey ROM? I wish PFM and ParanoidAndroid merged: that ROM would be perfect.
Try this. I've been using it on my N10 for a couple of weeks & it works fine. I haven't tried a custom ROM yet so not sure how it compares to the pie controls in those. The developer says he'll be adding more functionality soon. He also made it available free to xda members here. It's a couple bucks in the Play Store.

I'm using Purity ROM with Trinity Kernel. (see my signature for links). Flash the free LMT zip which has adds PIE plus more desktop extensions. I also bought Smart Statusbar+ for an auto hide statusbar.

Smart Statusbar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free&hl=en
An alternative is Full!screen which I used to use on rooted stock along with LMT.

Have fun.
I've used LMT in the past, when I've tried other ROMs. I always find myself back using AOKP ribbons. For whatever reason I dig it. LMT has a ton of functionality though. Also, if you use nova launcher, it can hide the status bar. I like to hide my status bar and the nav bar and use the bottom ribbon for nav controls.
I use Full!Screen and like it very much.
I just wish it wouldn't constantly pop up screen notifications saying that it was granted super user privileges, even when it's not in use.

I think you turn that off in SuperSU or what ever you are using. That was not an issue when I used full!screen.
