Thanks are there any down sides to using this setting ,I have an essential phone and using full screen including notch is so much better on that than black bars either side

Do any hide the nav bar apps work to make it truly full immersive when using other apps ?

The only issue is not all apps can use full screen. The ones that can't will just show a black bar where the status bar should be.

Does anyone else have problems with the 'slide finger on status bar to change brightness' not working in cm7?

You're not alone. I like that CM7 has that feature, but sometimes it's very buggy I guess. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does.
I have never been able to get this to work, and I have even increased the LCD density to ridiculous levels just to have a larger bar to swipe on.

OK, at least I know it's not just me. I even tried tuning off status bar dead area thinking it might be that.
Any alternatives for changing brightness on the fly?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
yeah, the status bar brightness doesn't really work vary well for me ether. I had to add a brightness toggle power widget to the notification bar. brightness mode at auto / dim / 25% /50% / 75% / 100%
There's a really great app developed specifically for CM7 on the Nook called RecentPlus over in the themes and apps forum. It replaces your long press home with a recent apps dialog that contains recent apps, plus brightness and volume sliders.
Recent plus fits the job rather nicely, thanks for the suggestion.
Wish is defaulted to brightness slider instead of volume, or remembered your last choice... But now I'm nit picking.

Hit the settings button once you're in the app and those options are available

Hi folks - My Dad - all 75 years of techno geek in him - just got a Xoom.
He loves Android (on his EVO & trying to learn the Xoom) but his eyes can't seem to see the status bar down @ the bottom clearly.
It looks dim. Is there way to adjust the brightness for the status bar (particularly the lower right one)?
Thanks.
I don't think there is. It just uses the standard screen brightness setting so its the full screen or nothing I think.

Thanks for the input.
From the lack of responses, I tend to think this isn't a huge issue for people. LOL!
We did adjust the brightness for the screen & it didn't seem to make much of an incremental difference.
Try one of the themes that brighten it up.
Touchwiz is brighter, I'm sure the red theme is brighter as well.

Hmmm...will look for it. Thanks for the idea.
If you're going to use a theme, you will have to convince him to let you root his XOOM.
If you want to go that route and don't feel like installing a completely new theme, I can make a brighter version of the stock control buttons for you. The clock font brightness is not editable at this time since hnytool hasn't been updated for 3.2, however.
As far as colors go, green is easiest and brightest seen by the human eye. Try the green theme.

Hi guys,
ive been messing around with JB for a while (xxls2) and noticed that you can access the notification bar while playing a game or watching a movie (anything full screen).
By: just swiping the above area (task bar) down while on full screen app. Which enables u to see notifications and turn on or off any toggle or even change screen brightness.
I havent seen anyone talk about this so i wanted to share.
Cheers

damn.....i should have noticed that ...why dint i notice that...
i wanted that feature so badly because i use opera full screen all the time and it was a pain going to home screen to check th the notifications everytime..
guess i was too stupid.to notice....
just for that you get all my 8 thanks for the day..
There is an App for that too!
if your not on jellybean and if you want this same feature , then just install an app called 'Smart Status Bar'
This will do the job!
This app is available for free !
Here is the link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free
Yaa...I also tried it.
Its grt

Yeah I noticed this too. Then went to AOSP and realised it wasn't there.
Must be a Sammy feature.

I am using Paranoid's settings to use Phablet Layout, so that the status bar is displayed even in full-screen apps (but on bottom, not on top).

I noticed this when i played the air patriots game when swiping the planes from top edge of the screen then i thought some bug when the bar keep appearing, so i leave them alone and then i noticed on other apps also working since about a week ago while i played the game a month ago. Ironic huh

Like my subject say's. I can only use pie control only if it is set to right gravity. Also I don't think it's a ROM issue cause I also can't use nav bar on twrp. So not sure what to do

I'm not sure what ROM you're using, but normally PIE controls work at the bottom of the screen only when the nav bar is hidden in extended desktop mode.
Paranoid android 3.97 and I know I have full screen enabled but the pie won't show up with the normal swipe up from the bottom, nor can I use the stock navigation bar when not in full screen,

Update 10:08pm : the bottom of the screen where the nav bar/ pie control normally is located Is just tripping, and the bottom of the keyboard it randomly inputs. ,

Had the same thing happening on my mothers N4. Been searching and it seems to be a hardware issue. Something got screwed up over time in the digitizer on a lot of N4's lately, and switching ROMs, wiping and so on doesn't work.
Sorry, bro.
My nav bar is burning into my screen, just like all the Razr Ms I saw in the Verizon store.
So, is there a way to make the nav bar transparent without removing it? I want to stay on the stock rom (but I am unlocked/rooted).
Thanks!

I know it's possible on CM based ROMs and AOKP has an autohide feature for the nav bar. However, I'm not sure on the stock ROM. You might want to check out Xposed Framework. It can be used to theme a stock ROM, without having to mess with .apk's or anything. I know that are a lot of customization modules out there for Xposed.
Somewhere in your System Settings, depending on what ROM you are using, you should find a setting called Navigation Bar. Click setting and there should be towards the bottom of the screen an option for Navigation Bar Transparency, Turn percentage down to zero. Also if you choose to use PIE Controls your Navigation Bar defaults to hidden and then when you toggle back to Navigation Bar or close PIE, your Navigation Bar appears.

Yeah, mine is very noticeable when playing a video or something where the buttons are not on the screen.
Man, the ones in the Verizon stores when I got mine in February had the circle widgets burned in really bad.
These burns don't even make sense. Old CRTs would burn because they're shooting electrons at the glass and if they sat long enough shooting and the same place they would literally burn into the glass. LEDs are just lights, I really want to know why it does this.

The best I can find so far is the app softkeyz on the market it is a paid app and its not transparent but you can select no icons they still function... I'm still looking for something better...

You are correct. It does not burn into anything and logically, according to the technology, it doesn't make sense that it would.

If I recall, this burn in is not really burn-in per say, but that the back-lights behind the pixels are burning and decaying at different rates. Since the buttons are always white, and the area around them always dimmed, the 'burn-in' is a lot more noticeable.

The organic compoumds degrades over time with use. Not burn in in the old CRT sense, but a similar end effect.

It is very slight in my device. I can see where the screen has a slightly a cooler tint where the nav bar and notification bar is at. It is easiest to see when you are looking at a completely white screen.
Its barely noticeable on a day to day basis.
