People are you usually trying to give the game/app onscreen more importance. ParanoidAndroid and CyanogenMod both hide the navigation bar too now. You are definitely going in the opposite direction. I have never heard of an app that would make it reappear, why you would you want it too?

i know what u mean, for specific apps that doesn't need to go full screen it would be nice to show status bar
someone should make an app that allow you to manually enables/disables status bar in specific apps would be great

ParanoidAndroid may have that option, since they have the option to force full screen.

In synergies codefire SR15 it is impemented.
If you drop town the upper side of the screen twice in fullscreen, you are able to access into the statusbar.
I really love it, because im always able to use fullscreen and have access to the statusbar.

Well, I think that this is simply not possible.
You can hide the notification bar in your app but you cannot do this while other apps are in the foreground. You would need to use a custom ROM for that.
However, what would probably be possible is creating an overlay which is shown on top of the notification bar. Nevertheless apps will not be fullscreen, just your overlay will be displayed instead of the notification bar. (If you want to do this, have a look at the RoundR sources on github.) I do not think that this is what you want.
Modifiying the system UI from an app is not possible!
(And it is good that it is not. What would you say if an app removes your notification bar without your agreement? )

I understand what you are saying.
But how is Smart Statusbar done?!

Im trying to create a similar but more simplistic.

Looks like the dev is really clever. :good:
I have got an idea how he could have done it:
Create an overlay on the screen (look at some souce at github: https://github.com/MohammadAdib/RoundR , https://github.com/sukso96100/SidePanel)
If it is clicked, launch a transparent activity with this attribute in Android manifest: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
After some time or after a click on the screen close it.
(No need for the status bar permission. It seems to be a one created by himselft.)
I think that this should work.

Yes, but you cannot tell the system how other apps should be shown.

[Q] Beans ROM

Anyone know whether Beans' ROM (or stock, for that matter) is capable of disabling/hiding the notification toggles entirely? I'd inquire within his thread, but not permitted to because it's for devs only...
No, I don't see anything like that.

Not sure I totally understand the question, but you can hide the status/notification bar easy enough if you use Nova Launcher??

If you use Exposed, there is a module called NotifyClean that will hide what ever you want.

Thank you, but to clarify, what I was talking about was within the notification pull-down, at the top there is normally a row of toggles with items such as wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off, etc. While I realize that you can customize the order of the items that appear within this bar, as well as which items display, I am interested in knowing whether the entire bar can be removed/hidden.
thanks

That only hides the notifications, not the toggles (I use it myself & it works perfect for what it's intended to do but hiding the toggles ain't it)

Thanks for dashing the false hope! Back to original question: anyone? Might some other xposed module do this?
*bump* in hopes of someone knowing whether achieving this is possible (removing/hiding the toggles bar in the notification pulldown)
Message beans and ask him if it's possible. Beans is a very nice person and one hell of a dev. Just be polite and not demanding and he will probably at least respond

Hide The Right Side! (Signal,Battery,Time)

Hey xda,
need some advice from u. I want to hide all the icons on the right side of my Statusbar. Things like Time, Battery, Signal,Wifi and so on. I used to use Wanam Xposed to do this but since XTouchWiz wanam removed theming options I can't do it that way anymore. I know of another module called something like flat style status bar icons but that's too much! I was wondering if one of u know another simpler way of doing this? a csc tweak/build.prop mod is welcomed. or a module.
Xposed download flat icons design. Amazing app. Completely configure the status bar.

I want something more simple. I just want to hide things not customize them. In order to hide I have to move those things outside of the visible area which sometimes messes up the position of normal notifications.

No, if you want to hide them, you select them then click hide.

Finally a great piece of kit!!! Perfect as you say. Need to adb the permission it but that kind of proves it is doing it Right.
Thanks a lot!

The immersive mode works well but is there a way to only hide the navigation bar?
Some of the other apps that I tried disables other apps that help with navigation like All in one gesture, etc when the navigation bar is hidden.
Here is the link for those who need it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter&hl=en
Edit: Spoke too early. Press and hold gives you the options.
This is a really good app.
Going to purchase it just to show the support.
This is one of the reasons I always rooted phones.. Next is to have GMD gestures but there are alternatives that work ok.
What's the immersive mode like? Can anyone post a screenshot please?

Immersive mode is the one that does not have task bar or navigation bar.
All apps work in total full screen.
Just what the doctor ordered. Good stuff, went premium. Thanks!

If u swipe up from the lower edge of the screen it will re appear for a couple of seconds and then goes away.
I have not used the navigation bar for the last 3 to 4 years.. Felt like a wasted space... Always used Gmd gesture control app. But that app is only for rooted devices.
For now I am using all in one gestures. Works quite well.
The screen shot shows the gestures that I have configured
Why not turn on immersive mode using adb? No apps required.

Got mine this morning around 6AM. Was hesitant to install from all the complaining about the status bar but so far so good.
Does anyone know whether the adb command to show the nav bar for specific apps still works? I want to hide nav bar for all apps besides one.

Not sure about adb and the nav bar but they still work with SystemUI Tuner to get rid of the battery icon.

I just confirmed it works. One of my apps was breaking when the navigation bar was missing so I ran an ADB command to bring the nav bar whenever that activity was launched.
Sorry noob question, any way to make the navbar transparent or change to black? I tried navbar apps but it's pretty buggy
