can somebody tell me how to hide status bar while play gaming, galaxy tab 2 7
You can't, since the bar now replaces physical buttons for back, home and menu functions.
You can search for HideBar in the Play Store. There is a demo version, which works quite well, but it requires root.
EDIT : The free demo is not on the Play Store, but is available here : http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/

I was just curious if there is anyway to hide the black home/back bar at the bottom of the screen? Is there any kind of option to hide it until you tap at the bottom and make it appear? Thanks.

Not with the stock ROM. Some custom roms have this type of feature available though (usually it's a toggle in the Power menu).

You can easily hide it on a stock rom with a build.prop edit. Just add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to your build.prop and reboot. Then you have no more navigation bar. You'll need to use something like LMT launcher (here at xda) or Button Savior (in play store) to have the home, recent, back, etc functions (easiest to set up BEFORE rebooting after editing build.prop ).

You can do this, but it's not exactly what the op was looking for. He wants to be able to hide and show the bar at will.
You can use GMD Hidebar or GMD GestureControl to hide the navbar.

I tried this and it hid the top bar as well. I just want the bottom buttons gone, since I use Button Savior.

Hey, you can use HideBar http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ to hide the navigation bar.
Iam searching for a possibility to deactivate or make the Onscreenbuttons transparent, to use the Full Resolution of the Display.Maybe there is a app that Activate/deactivate that on the Top bar.
Thanks
Maybe should have posted this in q&a

Read the description of recent updates...says it works for nexus4 too

There is an app, personally I used AOKP toggles on the Nexus 7 (im sure it will come to 4 soon) or in systemUI theres an XML you can edit (no clue which...) and set navigation bar height to something lower like 40 odd. 96 was stock on GNEX and 48 was stock on Nexus 7. Idk what's going to be stock on this device so make sure its not unsuitable

This is what i want to do, but for the entire system, maybe by long pressing the power button
Read this:
n Android 4.0, the APIs updated with new flags of SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, that requests the navigation bar hide completely. Be aware that this works only for the navigation bar used by some handsets (it does not hide the system bar on tablets). The navigation bar returns to view as soon as the system receives user input.
You can also use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE flag, to enables “low profile" mode for the system bar or navigation bar. Navigation buttons dim and other elements in the system bar also hide. Enabling this is useful for creating more immersive games without distraction for the system navigation buttons, and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE flag to request the system bar or navigation bar be visible.
There's a AOKP ROM for the Nexus 4 which has
Nav Bar Transparency
Nav Bar Button Reorder: Back-Home-Search-Menu
Nav Bar Color Picker
Nav Bar Button Glow Duration: Off, Fast, Slow
Nav Bar: Long press to Search button
Nav Bar Hide on Lockscreen
So if you use that ROM with an app like HideBar it should meet all of your needs.
Something which has been really annoying me is how the virtual navigation bar does not disappear when using apps. It disappears when watching videos etc but on all the apps I have used so far, Vice city, temple run, BTD, Dead trigger etc it stays there taking up a fair bit of the screen.
Does anyone know if this is because the of the app developers or is it something android or sony might change soon. Or is there anyway we can already get rid of it?
How are you going to go back to home if the bar is gone?

Drag from side/bottom to bring back navigation bar? two fingers required so you don't accidentally do it.

Two fingers required for this stupid thread.
AW: XZ Navigation Bar when using apps
nvm.
it is feasible to do it, we have it on the one set of tablets, but I've never been able to get the framework code working on other devices.
Full screen, and the nav bar goes completely. swipe up from off the bottom of the screen and the nav bar reappears.
this predated what the PA Roms do btw by quite a few months.
It works a treat
however what the OP is asking for sounds more to me like one of my pet hates with this rom, the icons disappear in selected apps but not all,
the nav bar is still there but replaced by dots, when you tap the area of the navbar the icons reappear.
some of the apps I use I know do full screen and specifically call that feature, but are ignored so the standard icons remain on screen at all times.

You can use full!creen on Play Store or fullscreentoggle to hide navigation bar & status bar (requesting root). Good luck!
It's possible to hide the Nav bar in CM ROM's. Hold the power button and press "hide nav bar" or something like that, and it's the same procedure when you want it back.

Youtube does it, DICE Player manages to do it, yet QuickPic doesnt/cant.
I am under the impression that my LT30p equipped with JB which is very similar to the Z's fw could not do it at all, I could be mistaken though.

It is an app: GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys. You can find it in the google play store.
Requires root though..
Hey guys, I've found a awsome way to use the s8 without navbar at all! You will have swipe gesture from the bottom of the screen in the same order like there's a navbar with recent, home and back button.
all you need is to install a app called swipe navigation from the play store and give it accessibilty permission install the navbar Disabler (I I'll give the link) and the swipe navigation unlocker on the play store(costs money but definatly worth it).
config the app as you like then just restart your phone.
heres a video for demonstration.

Yep, works on rooted and unrooted devices
Im using it. Is it me or response time is slower than pressing nav buttons?
If i want to get the navbar back i just delete the app or what?
You can use LMT Launcher as well. I've been using it for years and it always works great. Swipe up from the bottom and you have your buttons. You can customize it however you want to. Here's a screenshot of how I have mine set up.

Yes, you uninstall the app and it goes back to normal
Swipe left or right?
Can you get rid of the annoying vibration?
I have been using this for months. I love it
@Goku1992 Yes, you can simply switch it off in the app settings.
