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.
EVO 4G user... I was able to make some modifications to make my status bar transparent... looks nice... however its transparent all over the place... meaning when i open the web browser it gets lost in the white background... when i pull down notifications the it covers the whole screen except the status bar.. when i click the all apps button it covers the whole screen except the status bar... when i open my contacts again gets lost in the white background... however when i open call history or settings it turns it black and visible which i like... any way to make the browser and contacts display a black status bar... any way for the status_bar_background.png fill the screen including status bar?... any way to darken it when i click all apps button?

My data manager free or 3G watchdog on the Market
Thanks mate, will try and report B-)

I tried watchdog and my data manager but didn't find what I want, if you notice the arrows under the data icon in the status bar, it glows or change color whenever you recieve or send data and remains dark when you're not, that is the kind of widget am looking for ifyou understand me
Many thanks mates

I use Traffic Counter Pro it has some nice widgets. It also keeps track of my voice calls and SMS which is handy for watching my contract limits.
Hi All
not sure if any one has seen this just reposting , using LMT or Pie along with this mod makes your screen look really large with the full HD resolution

hit thanks if it helped..

Well, if you gonna do it, that would be cool) but it would be even coller if transparency will be for only 25%
I was trying to do it but i've got errors when i was trying to decompile systemui
There is my SystemUI (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3EVQbXIsV_PRC1iV3c3VE5MYkE/edit?usp=sharing)
And framework-res.apk (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3EVQbXIsV_PcEZINUZsWmdtaGc/edit?usp=sharing)
ok guys that method is a bit more complicated using KA07 tweak I disabled the nav bars and installed LMT and used the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.hidebar this one to hide my status bar now I have full screen as home and for apps
here is a screenshot
if you just pull in the blankscreen top the status bar appears back
there is an app where it let us to slide from the top when in full screen to reveal the status bar
is there a way to make nav bar to hide only in full screen apps like games , and when i slide from the bottom it get revealed while in other normal apps the nav bar stays on like when on home
