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.

[Q] [REQ] - Clear Nav. Bar

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

[Q] Apex Launcher Pro On Galaxy S4

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...

Transparent Buttons on 3rd Party Launchers?

I tried searching for this but couldn't find it so sorry if it's a repeat. The status bar and navigation buttons are transparent when at the stock home screen. Is there any way at the moment to keep this going when using 3rd party launchers such as Apex? I understand it's the phone reading it as having an app open, therefor disabling of transparency, but I'd love to have that feature on the home screen of other launchers.

I noticed that the status bar only seemed to be transparent when an LG bg is used. Use a picture, and it is shaded. Also seems related somehow to the color of the buttons, but have not figured it out yet.
I am an Apex fan, but I think I will wait a bit before trying it.

Depends on where you get backgrounds

I believe it depends on where you get the images, if you get them from an app. I was using an app called Backgrounds HD and every time I applied one, it wouldn't scale it properly and the status bar and nav buttons would be black. If I uninstalled the app and used one called Picspeed, they worked just fine with transparency on the stock launcher.
