remove notification bar

hello
is there any way to hide the notifications bar on galaxy S i9000?
thanks

there are several apps in the market that can do that
but you will be in trouble without it
a lot of apps depends on the notification bar
if you don't have the bar, you will have no quick way to access those alerts

thanks
can you name me one app that do that?
i want to remove this while im driving with GPS to avoid the notofication bar will be stock like i had on my nexus one. this is really troble with amoled screens.

I use GDE as my Home replacement, It has an option for Fullscreen, which removes the notification bar

I do not know why you wanna hide it, but if you have launcher pro, there is an option to hide the notification bar.

Hi there...
This black notification bar somehow is ugly for this homescreen and this phone...isn't there any simple way to make it transparent or hide it without using third party application like launcher pro???

I don't think so.

Unfortunately you have to use a third party app to do this. That said, I'd love to see a mod to hide the clock, it bugs me to have one up there AND a clock widget.....
Back to topic: ADW has a hide option aswell....

I use ADWLaucher, I can hide/show the bar swiping the screen.

I use launcher pro to hide it with a swipe gesture on a dock icon to make it apear

[q] [req] show/hide notification bar

Can anyone point me to, or if willing, develop an app or widget thats only function when pressed is to hide/unhide the entire notification bar?
I'm on miui, and its launcher. However, hiding the notification bar is not currently an option in the launcher.
I do not want to use ADW or LP on top of MIUI.
I'm thinking something simple like the app HELLOSTATUSBAR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been searching for days trying to figure this out.

Did you have any luck?
Just wondering if you ever found a solution. I am in search of a solution for my preference. I would like to have the notification bar off the screen so I can have a full screen.. if I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.
If anything is currently available or if anyone could enlighten me on how to do this myself I would be very appreciative.

Try adw launcher with which you can associate programs and actions (including hide/show notification bar) with gestures (swipe up/down). An elegant solution if I do say so myself, which I do, often.

Bottom bar "open notifications" button mod?

Is there a mod that would give me a button on the bottom bar, to open notifications when tapped? The way I usually use this tablet, the top left is the exactly least convenient place to swipe when I'm holding it from the bottom.
I'm on the 3g model but if such a mod exists already, I presume it can be adapted.

Nova or Apex launchers will let you do that very easily.
In the settings you can choose what you want to happen when you tap the home key when you are on the home screen. One of the choices is pull down notifications.

OK, but that's still not a button in the nav bar. I'm looking for a button in the nav bar that pops open the notifications tray, without leaving whatever app I'm in.

i think he's saying to get that button you would need top use a custom launcher such as apex or holo.:good:

With Nova Launcher (I don't have any experience with Apex):
- tap and hold on homescreen
- select "Nova Actions"
- select "Expand Notifications"
When the shortcut is created, drag it to your nav bar.

... and in what ROM are you allowed to drag launcher shortcuts to your nav bar???
To be clear, by nav bar, I mean the black bar along the bottom with the back, home and multitask icons. I am looking to see if there is a mod that can change that to: Back, Home, Multitask, Open Tray.

In some of the cm 10 roms . in the settings /system settings / navigation bar.. You can add two buttons . And change what those do... I am not sure if you can set it to pull notifications or not but i think you might be able to.. I know the euroskank and paranoid android roms have this..
This takes a framework re work.. You will not get this feature in a launcher running on the stock android frame work.. Someone could code this. But doing so would break compatibility with other things .
There would be NO Stock solution for this The ones people are describing above will not work. You can add it to the dock if you have it enables..
Now most launchers Nova prime (what i use) has screen gestures. You could set that to swipe down bring notifications down swipe up close .
Good Luck

Good to know. I guess we'll have to see if devs can expand their ROMs to include 3G, even in absence of full source...

Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the dock.

Any progress or answers?
I'd like some sort of solution to this.
Even something as simple as opening the notifications with a tap instead of a swipe would make a world of difference.

Maybe you should try a ROM with Tablet UI?

Lockscreen apps

Hi all,
I have strange problem at Lockscreen, when i press the back button at Lockscreen a grey squre appear and the only option is to slide to unlock the screen.
Please see Attached file
I've look at the Lockscreen settings but there is no option that is talking about apps (already disable it).
Hope that someone is having the same problem.
Thanks,
Roy.

I'm not sure what you mean. But if you want to add a widget scroll the top half until you see a plus sign, tap it and choose a widget.
If it's short cuts, that's done through the menu somewhere like in your pics

It is not really a problem. I don't really understand you too but if you want apps on the lockscreen you have just to go in settings and when you are in the lockscreen there are in. When you swipe widgets pages the apps disappear and you have to swipe to the top for seeing it.

thr s always two way to access lock-screen setting;
setting > display > lock-screen
security > lock-screen (or screen lock)
on lock-screen option u press on it (instead of disable/enable toggle) then u will go to complete setting of lock-screen
:good:

Maybe I didn't explain myself I want to disable the widgets so I will not get the grey squre.

[Q] Removing navigation bar

Hi,
Is there any apk or launcher or mod that can remove navigation bar at the bottom?
I want to setup a second user for my little kid, setting up the Nexus 7 for her.
But, I want to remove all kind of user interface except ability to start some games from the home screen.
So far, I have this setup:
*APEX Launcher
- notification bar removed
- dock removed
- desktop locked
- pinch-in gesture to go to the app drawer
But, I don't know how to remove the navigation bar.
There is an app which I used before "immersive full screen mode", but it seems it doesn't work on Lollipop 5.1.
Thanks.
