I'm using cm7.2 and can't seem to find the answer to this problem:
Some apps have a "fullscreen mode", which can be turned on by clicking on the double chevron that appears on the status bar. It works well, BUT how do you get out of fullscreen mode (i.e. make the status bar reappear)
Thanks for your attention. Dizzyjc

In settings there is a setting for which hardware key to use to come out of full screen mode. Since I don't run CM7 anymore, I can't tell you which setting it is.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.

Is it possible to have constantly visible bar with Battery + network status?
Exist any rgistry hack ?
Thanks.
Tried some tweaks but most of them just vanished my status bar even when i press or swipe my finger on to it to show them! Must try harder i suppose!

Unfortunately, another feature sorely lacking in WP7. I just lock and unlock my HD2 to see the status or go to the phone call history screen.
Is anyone else having an issue with CM7 where the right combination of gestures or touches while cause the menu bar to disappear? I have no idea how to reproduce it, or how to recover from it (short of a reboot) but it's happened at least 4 times i as many weeks.
Just curious if something is corrupt with my install or if it's a common issue.
If the bar is just invisible (the buttons still work, but there are no graphics), just rotate the screen and they should come back.
If you've touched the double-chevron button and the status bar went away, an app has requested fullscreen mode and the chevrons grant the request. Hit "home" to get somewhere that isn't fullscreen. You can pick an "un-hide" button and do other similar things in Settings/Tablet Tweaks, look for "Disable Fullscreen" and "Choose unhide button".
If neither of the above holds, your statusbar has crashed. There's an app that's supposed to bring it back, but that never worked properly for me. I have to reboot.
This hasn't happened to me in recent nightlies, but I'm not positive that the problem is really gone yet.

I've had the menu bar disappear while certain apps were open, preventing me from accessing the app menu and had to use the 'n' button to get out. To get around this I am using Button Savior.

That's my situation. The status bar / buttons disappear, so I hit the physical home button (the N as in Nook button), but the bar is still gone. This was happening on 7.0.3... i just installed 7.1 RC1 and haven't had it happen yet... we'll see.

Go to Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Tablet Tweaks, and check to see that you have the "Disable fullscreen" option checked. That prevents apps from overriding the status bar visibility. Additionally, you can setup an "unhide" button in case you accidentally hit the chevron or otherwise lose the Tablet Tweaks status bar.

Because you say "menu bar" and later on say you press the N button and they are still missing I believe you are talking about the ADW menu buttons (the launcher and apps buttons). If that is what you are referrinng to then you should go into ADW settings and uncheck the hidden taskbar option. By default it is checked.
can reproduce it on my EVO
I found out how to make the menu disappear, but cannot make it reappear.
I have an EVO 4G (original supersonic) and I am able to make the bottom home menu disappear using a downward swipe. I've done this accidentally quite a few times. (I'm referring to the Phone/Square/World Icons that launch the primary apps)
However, I do not know how to make it come back. I have been able to swipe randomly and get it to reappear, but I do not know what combination actually causes this.
The only way I know how to bring it back for sure, is a reboot. I wish I knew what that swipe combination was to restore the menu

By "Menu Bar", do you mean the the Dock where you can access the App Drawer?
If this is it, then you just have to swipe it up. But to just to warn you, it is "VERY HARD" to get the right swipe for it to show again. Trust me, I tried. Best solution would be to disable the "HIDE" Capability of the Dockbar by going into Settings>ADWLauncher>UI Settings Go down to Hidden Dockbar and disable Dockbar.

thanks thewaywardgeek013, that worked perfectly. It's almost impossible to find the right settings.
Has anyone gotten the multi-user working correctly? I'm able to add additional users, but I can't switch between them -- the "faces" don't show up on the lockscreen.
I checked around the lockscreen settings, but I couldn't see anything obvious to enable this function. Any ideas?

No kidding? That's interesting.
Don't suppose there's a setting to turn them on in portrait mode, is there?
I just installed the new PA but I'm not able to use pie at all. I've set it in immersive mode and I've tried swiping the all sides but the pie isn't showing up. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

Move your finger up gently from bottom of screen when in immersive mode. Hold it there to see 3 pie buttons.

I've tried that, the status bar just pops out from the top and the back,home and recent buttons from the bottom. What else could be the issue?

Disable immersive mode, then go to settings>backup & reset>reset preferences (under personalization). Enable immersive mode again and you should see the popup asking if you want to enable pie. See if it works.

I've seen some apps that change the basic virtual keys to others. I remenber an app changing the virtual back,home and recent app buttons , to only one camera button, and after exiting the app it's back to normal
How is that possible ?
i want to remove the recent apps button.

I don't think that is possible without root... The only thing one could do is completely hide the navigation bar with immersive mode, and then perhaps draw a custom bar on the bottom of the screen which looks just like it. But I'm interested, can you remember which app exactly had that behaviour?

i've seen many apps doing that, but i remenber only mini-lock ( can't give link because it is on blackmart )
immersive mode is only for >=kitkat , i might have problems with that...
i might have to take a look at android's lockscreen source code

mmhh yeah now that you say that, i think it might be possible on the lockscreen if your apps is registered as a device admin, though I didn't quite find it during my quick search...

Found this one here:
You can not hide it unless you have rooted the device. But of course there is a workaround which might not fit with your requirement but several well known apps in the market at the moment using this strategy to achieve this disable menu bar feature for their apps.
Grant admin privilege.
Set password & lock the device using device admin profile api
Then load what ever the UIs on top of the native lock screen. (Of course this will show background lock screen whenever a transition happens between activities. But if logic is organized well, then it will be smooth & less noticed by the user)
When need to enable back, reset password to "" using resetPassword("", 0) of device policy manager object.

You can set the password and lock the screen using the DevicePolicyManager. Don't know how you would "load your UIs on top of native lock screen" though...

mmhhh and why is immersive not working for you? You have to keep in mind that the user needs the navigation bar to exit your app anytime...
