Disable status bar - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to permanently hide the status bar across the whole system? I want to use floating notifications but the double notifications would drive me crazy!

It depends on the rom you're using. Most custom rom can hide the status bar out-of-the-box, just look around in the settings.

I'm on sentinel ROM, either I'm being really stupid or there isn't an option. It comes with expanded desktop but I want to keep to navbar. An option to run all apps in full screen would be perfect if it exists?

I'm not familiar with that one. You can also try different launchers, like Nova or Apex. I've seen this feature in one of them, but it was long ago.

Nova allows you to hide the status bar.

Thanks for the suggestion, but surely that's only on the homescreen? In looking for something more global

When you're in apps it's also hidden, as well as when you're in the home screen. But if you're in say, Settings, it will come back up again. That's personally what I use and I like it.

Thanks for the tips, ended up deciding to use an app called Full Screen! Lost a bit of navbar functionality but it's acceptable for the amount of screen space I now have!

If you lose the navbar anyway, then why don't you use your roms fullscreen option? I think PIE is awesome.

I tried to set up pie controls but couldn't get it to work. Don't know if it was me, the app, the ROM, or what, but I'm happy with the way it"s set up now so I'm not going to look into it too much

Try setting margins to NONE and changing the grid size just note what the grid default settings are if you change them you might lose some shortcuts or widgets they will be there they will be moved to where you can't see them.... On Apex launcher I have mine set to 6x8 portrait and landscape but I just always use landscape. In portrait 6x8 does look a little stretched. try like 5x7 or 4x6 or 5x5 whatever works for you.
Nova Settings>Desktop>Scroll Effect>Card Stack.

Yup that's an alternative but I'm quite bothered by card stack though, still prefer the animation less scroll effect

You said that you wanted the lines gone......that option took the line out. Maybe you should switch launchers.

That or just a bug/feature (what's the difference?) with the lockscreen andb play music
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I get this too, and it's not missing album art, the album art only takes up a small chunk at the top of the screen. His picture just happens to be of a song with missing album art.
I was viewing it in the bright sunlight and didn't see the missing album art place holder. I'd imagine it's a feature then to accentuate the player.

This is a feature on ICS+. Moto disabled it for blur.

It was never like this before on stock or Eclipse. I assume it's something to do with this ROM.

I do not believe there is any way to disable it.
Try using a music player that overrides the lockscreen (such as Winamp)

[Req] extended keyboard

Running stock ROM rooted and was wondering how I could integrate the extended keyboard which I've seen featured in cataclysm ROM (awesome ROM by the way). The keyboard has the option to add a fifth row of keys used for all the numbers along the top.
Any idea how I can stay on the stock 4.4.1 ROM I'm rooted on now and add this feature? Is there something I can take from cataclysm root folder and move into bigxies ROM I'm on? ( thanks bigxie...solid work as always)
Thank you!!!

Change either Google or aosp keyboard to custom input style to English (PC) and enable it. It's under advanced settings in either of the keyboards settings

Thanks for the response but I'm not seeing it. Never seen it before cataclysm KitKat. At least I've seen it in Samsung note 2 TW keyboard but never on aosp keyboard.

You have yo add english (pc) As a language. It's not usable though. Keys become too small for me.

Thanks for the input. Went ahead and flashed new cataclysm update to 4.4.1. There are a few nice features in this ROM but its pretty close to stock. Here is what the keyboard looks like. Love this option. And you don't sacrifice key size.

Any solution for this ?

So I'm using xposed gravity box and I set my nav bar to 60% and this is what I got on stock launcher. It has some weird space and I really want buttons to be transparent. Any fix/ idea ?

I don't think you can achieve what you want unless you use another launcher, Nova is what I personally prefer. I may be wrong but I think that will be the only way.

And can nav bar be transparent on nova ?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Well... Technically yes. But until you get the 4.4 update, or if you move to aosp 4.4 rom, the option is greyed out in the nova menu. It is an option, just not on 4.2. But I think if you use nova and just keep gravity box stuff like you have it, it may look right for you. Lots of options on nova.

I use toggle fullscreen app from google play and it fixed that issue when I use udn.
In G2 xposed, there's a button under themes and colors for transparent status and nav bar. I'm using it, works great on 4.2 (vzw).

Need help with Stock Messaging app

Running on Omega v24 based on Android TW Based 4.3.
Anyway, I need help with something. The "Tiny" font in the stock messaging app is still way too big. I was wondering if there was a manual way in lowering the size of the font in the conversation. I've already tried Lowering the DPI of the app, but that also changes the actual UI, which I do not like.
So basically, I just want to make the font smaller without affecting the UI of the stock messaging app. Any ideas?
