[Q] [Req] hidden Status Bar

Hey all you talented developers,...
as our SAMOLED Displays suffer from degradation of the organic LED when constantly emmiting bright white or blue,
some of us found here the need of a hideable status bar.
I searched all the internet and all of this forum but couldn´t find such an app.
Is there any app or widget possible which can hide or un-hide the status bar?
Or is there any adb code that hide it and onther adb code that un-hides it??
Any help would be highly welcome.
Somehow ist should be possible.... at least we are on android
greetz the bapsack
Edit:
P.S.
1. as far as I know no launcher hides the statusbar permanently
2. even though some (!) apps might support fullscreen the status bar is still there in most apps

Both LauncherPro and Zeam have hideable status bars. See market.

the status bar is only hidden in the launcher
if you open any app e.g. internet or navigation the status bar is back in its place

Try dolphin browser, it has full screen I think

I wonder if adding the notitlebar attribute in the framework manifest would work
No clue though, will try when have time or someone else could

Degradation? I don't think so.
Anu source?
I think the display only suffers from a minor burn-in problem, where the burn in disappears after somewhile.

well take this pic of a blank white screen aas a proof
you can still see the status bar as a shadow

ADW.Launcher has a hidable status bar. You just flick your finger UP, the status bar hides. Flick it UP again, it returns.
PS : I can fit in 5 rows of icons easily.

the aim is to hide the freakin status bar permanently
e.g.: even when navigating, web-browsing or running any other app
This adw.Launcher can NOT do!
Just start any app and zack, back is the statusbar no matter what launcher u use ADW.Launcher, Lauchner.Pro or Zeam

I have status bar burn in, viewable on the screen test blue background.
5 months, low brightness, status bar hidden most of the time using launcher pro.
Pretty sad really

That's not even a Galaxy S hah, and no burn in here with launcher pro 99% of it's life. I'm not sure how this is viewed, but if someone without a status bar is getting the same thing, it's seems a bit irrelevant in general to blame the status bar?

@bapsack
I accidently thanked you for that post hah wanted to quote it, anyways the reason for that is because it's not possible to replace that yet obviously, nothing integrates all the dynamic info it displays. It's required sorry bud!

tell me how to do and I will check

My bet is:
-make your notification bar 0-20% black
-set 50%/50%/20% R/G/B color for notification bar font and make icons with blurred edges in the same color
NO way you will get a burn.

Thnak you MACHETE.

It's in settings, cyanogenmod, interface, status bar tweaks. There is a checkbox for time.

Status Bar Redefined

Hey there people.. I am a big fan of android and custom roms particularly the cyanogenmod and how they let you totally customize your phone. I am here posting this thread for a different reason.
Can the status bar be redefined?? Instead of the age old static status bar on top of the screen, if it can be modded into a dot or some kinda mini icon which expands on clicking it and glows when you have a notification just like the LED that would be great. And if you can give some visual effects like each of the notifications sliding from the side of the screen it would be cool..
Imagine you have just the dot and it is present on all the apps or games, instead of big black bar floating on your screen and eating away your screen, you click on the dot, the notifications open, and close back on clicking on the icon, you can continue what you were doing without leaving the app.
Developers please have a look at this and do it.. It would be a great success..

It's a nice idea, but I think most of us want that instant info when unlocking the phone. I want to see time, wireless signal and battery at a glance. Not unlocking, then pressing a dot or icon first! It would be neat if what you are suggesting could be implemented on full-screen apps though! i.e not having to leave Gallery when you hear a notification but don't have a statusbar...

How about giving that option in settings, like an option of seeing signal, battery status alone with the icon/dot or show the full status bar or just the dot..
If there were options of clicking the dot and opening up only how much you want as in just the network bar and battery status and you click the dot again it open up some more with some visual effects and just again if you want a detailed expanded notifications.
Just saying..!

Please drop in some ideas
And it would be awesome if everyone who takes a look at this thread drop in some suggestion or their view or their idea..
Thanks..

Would be cool

You could have all those readings on the lockscreen for the instant info and still have the status dot when you unlock.

I want something similar to the tablet UI, that's what's awesome

I second/third/fourth/thousand this idea. I can visualize what OP is imagining and I agree, sounds like a project that would take off.
Here's my .02;
Dot colors should be customizable
We should have the liberty of choosing where it shows up On our screen edges (X,Y access)
Maybe the possibility of using our own images. As in I can whip up different icons and make them pop up instead of the dot. Cool idea for personal logo use, strictly to show off of course.
Sent from my el Futuro

Glad!
I am glad many have liked the idea.. another idea is you can choose the background of the notification bar that opens as in transparency, black, white etc..
Whenever you get a notification ripples flow from the dot indicating the notification and each color indicating a different notification..
Ohmy..!! my imagination seems to have no bounds..

Any developers?
Any developer who is interested???

How about something like using the google labs settings in the ICS browser. Whenver you put your finger on the side of the screen, your options pop up but in addition to options you time, signal, date, send message etc...

This would be really nice. I've grown so accustomed to the Browser's Quick Controls, and its one reason I rarely use Chrome.

And for now you could use Apex launcher, and set option for swype down to toggle notifications, and swype up to hide/show notification bar...

To sum up
options : full status bar
mini status bar
just the dot/custom icon
animations : ripple
glow
color of the notification bar : transparent
black
white
gestures : enable/disable
Any more additions??

[MOD] Hide 4g icon when WiFi is connected, no carrier on lockscreen & more

Hi guys, I've made a few more mods to declutter the stausbar a bit and remove the carrier labels from the Lock Screen and the notification panel. I've also fixed a few bugs in the recent apps mod that I'll be posting to that thread soon.
Bugfixes to recent apps:
You no longer need to reboot your phone after changing the position of the recent apps key.
The recent apps key now rotates properly in the camera app.
Here's what's on offer in this post:
Black Status Bar
Replaces pink navbar theme with solid black
Removes carrier label from lockscreen and notification shade
GPS and headset icons are totally removed (no gap in status bar from transparent icons)
Mobile data icon (4g, 3g, etc) is removed when WiFi is connected
Also, the linked thumbnails show a couple things that are in separate posts:
NFC statusbar icon is disabled
Clock in status bar no longer displays AM/PM text in 12-hour mode
Follow the links below to hide the NFC icon and/or change the statusbar clock:
Hide NFC Icon: Verizon (AT&T to come soon, PM me if you can help me re-odex it)
Remove AM/PM from statusbar: Verizon, AT&T
All the other mods are bundled together, however, I'm packaging up a few different versions so you can choose how the soft keys behave.
To install, pick the zip you want and install using TWRP.
DeclutterStockMenuKeys.zip will not change the behavior of the navigation bar, although it will still replace the pink theme with a solid black one. You still have the stock key layout: Back, Home, Menu, Notification Toggle, with long-press on home for recent apps.
DeclutterMenuToRecents.zip will replace the menu key with recent apps, with long-press on home for menu. This gets you Back, Home, Recent Apps, Notification Toggle, with long-press on home for Menu.
DeclutterNotificationToRecents.zip will replace the notification toggle key with recent apps, and will not change the long-press behavior of the home button. This gives you the following four buttons: Back, Home, Menu, Recents. Long-press home will still bring up Recent Apps.
If you want the Action Bar overflow menu with the three dots, you'll need to flash VerticalEllipsis.zip in addition to whatever you choose above.
With thanks to burningmembers for the small navbar (love that mod!) and 777jon for the black status bar and navbar themes. Also big thanks to scrosler for CleanROM, which kicks ass, and the whole xda community for the excellent resources.

Lock screen got changed to the stock android one and its hard to see. Any way you can include the regular lock screen without the carrier label?

So DeclutterStockMenuKeys.zip has:
Black Status Bar
Replaces pink navbar theme with solid black
Removes carrier label from lockscreen and notification shade
GPS and headset icons are totally removed (no gap in status bar from transparent icons)
Mobile data icon (4g, 3g, etc) is removed when WiFi is connected
Sorry if I am just being dense.

Went ahead and flashed it - answer is no.
Kept everything the same and now I have a much less cluttered status bar. The development already is amazing.

I don't have transparent nav bar so not sure, BUT I do have Medium height nav bar and it stayed after the flash so I have to assume this mod doesn't do anything to touch the height of it?
Just a guess though.

If u tick ths transparent setting in front touch buttons does the nav bar go transparent? I understand if you don't want to be my tester

Oh you meant stock launcher - yes it's still transparent. See below - ignore rounded corners that's due to Roundr.

Yeah, everything you listed is common to all the Declutter zips. The only difference between them is how they modify the soft keys in the navigation bar.

In the lock screen settings, there's an entry called "Shortcuts" that only appears when your unlock method is set to swipe. You can then tap on an icon to change the app.

Works as advertised, I was having issues with another MOD doing similar things, thank you very much for sharing. It is functioning a little bit more like my GNex.
Are you/would you be interested in looking at adding Transparent Status Bar and Navigation to third party Launchers? You can find Jishnu Sur's thread here, at the bottom he has the code to allow this for other launchers.
Thanks for an awesome set of MODs!

by removing the gps and headphone icons, does this mean when I'm on GPS, it won't show in the status bar anymore so there is no way to know if gps is on unless you look at the settings?

OMG! I think I luv you....thank you so much for this! Can you also make the Bluetooth icon go away when not being used?

[Q] Status Bar App.....

Is there a good app that will let me change the status bar icons and clock location that does not require root. I have tried a few on Google Play but none seem to do what I want them to.
Thanks.

Maybe try configuring something with Zooper or UCCW widget? You can use a launcher (I use Nova pro) to hide the actual status bar then use a widget in place of it, this way you can design it the way you want.

Not without root, sorry. streebs87's work around might do something for you, but you're not going to be able to configure the actual status bar at all without some sort of root tool.

"Color Status Bar" app will mod the quick buttons, clock location & style without root.
