Is there a way to hide or disable the menu bar at the bottom? I would like to replace it with something more minimalistic like zMooth. (on kindle fire stock ROM)
Anyone find anything, I found by installing "No Lock" and moving it to /system/app I can activate it and restart the kindle which causes it to start without locking or showing the menu bar. However the problems with this are:
1. I can't have any security on the device, adding a third party lock screen lke magic locker or go locker bring back the menu bar.
and
2. The bar comes back occasionally for random unknown reasons.
I would also like to know if it is possible to bring the menu bar back in certain applications once it is disabled so I have more control in the web browser. (fullscreen/bookmarks)
Bump, anyone?
I've been trying to figure out how to do this too since I first got it. Even when I use Go Launcher, the menu bar is still there. Very annoying.
You can do it in ADW.

I am aware of this, (it can also be done in go launcher) however I would like it to be replaced with zmooth not just minimized, also adw and go launchers docks get partially cutoff by the minimized menu bar.
Nevermind.
Thanks for pointing this out, the bottom bar was driving me nuts.
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?
Does anyone know if there is a theme that will make the Navigation bar clear? I don't mean to make it disappear, just make it see-through and still have the buttons functioning. I would like to make the most out of this amazing screen and have a full-screen, full-color display. (I already got rid of my notification bar
Why not use a ROM with expanded desktop and use something else to control the phone? Like GMD gesture control or LMT launcher

Hello. Am using the Galaxy S4 with Apex Launcher Pro on it. Love both of them pretty much. But there was this 1 thing that annoys me. Whenever I set swipe down feature to toggle my status bar / show my notifications, all the widgets on my screen will move downwards when the status bar is being toggled. It's kinda annoying seeing my widgets move out of positions. I am using 4.1.2 stock JB and the show notification bar option doesn't work. When I swipe down, it only toggles my status bar instead of bringing the whole notification bar down. Are there any apps that would enable or show my notification bar without moving the widgets? Thanks in advance.
? Don't you get the notifications bar when you swipe down from the top of the screen - I mean without down swipe enabled in Apex. Used Apex for ages and never known this not to function

I hide the notification bar. Does it work only when the notification bar is not hide? I've tried this on another phone it works and the notification is also hidden. I just swipe down with gestures and the bar expands. It happens in Nova Launcher too...
Hello,
I am currently using AOKP and I love the swipe to the right ribbon control for the dock to appear but the problem is that i'd prefer it at the bottom but you cant do this while the nav bar is there (which i leave and make transparent).
I tried to accomplish this with NOVA prime by making the swipe up gesture toggle the dock. The only problem is that I have to swipe it again for the dock to go back away. I would prefer to set a timeout for it to go back hidden.
I was wondering if anyone knew of another app/feature were i could swipe up, or another similar gesture, and have a dock appear. Then after a few seconds have it go hidden again (timeout) without losing the NAV bar?
thanks in advance. I'll be happy to clarify if this is confusing.
So I tried the GMD app and it does all I want it to do except 'timeout'. As the touchpads stay until you open an app or click on the home screen.
