Root your phone and flash CM7

This is asn app that works really well and does not need you to have a rooted phone...about as close as you can get without rooting. Used it for a while with my Nexus s until the nightlies starting running. Not quite as good as CM7 but a really good alternative!
'Power Control Plus' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.siriusapplications.eclairwidgets
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I prefer to use Quick Settings, search for it on appbrain (I can't post links as newish account, but long time android user)
I like it because it can be configured to look like a dialogue box on top of the app that is currently open (menu -> preferences -> appearance -> Dialog). Also you can hide the notification bar icon so it doesn't clutter the bar up (menu -> preferences -> Status bar shortcut -> Add & hide icon).
I prefer it over Power Control Plus because its free, and you can access it anywhere, and not just from the home screen. for custom Power widgets i also prefer Widgestsoid 2.X (again search on appbrain for same reasons)
but that requires more set up to make a "power" widget.
Hope you like more choices!

Various launchers have the full screen option which hides the status bar. I don't think it is possible to delete it permanently.

You can't delete status bar permanently because it's part of a launcher, but some launchers have the option to hide it.

Go to settings--->manage apps---->all.
go to the app ginger dx and force close it...
this might work in gdx.
other ways are via enabling the option in launcher.
Press thanks if I helped..

You can use Long press menu button to hide status bat. Go to Settings/ Cyanogenmod Settings/ Input/ Long-press menu settings/ Choose behaviour and choose Toggle statusbar from list. Status bar will disappear by long clicking menu button but it may come back after while when entering and exiting menus in Settings.app for example.

I don't think so it is possible to hide permanently. But why do you want to hide it ?
My life is impossible without that statusbar

MiHome for ICS

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623026
first apk for the launcher, and 2nd apk for miui control panel
How to activate Appdrawer:
Install attached APK (MIUI settings)
you will get an application called MIUI Control Pannel open that app,
There are five option, only last option will work Which is "App drawer option"
check auto start and enable App drawer in that.
you can set pull down location also in that,
Now you can pull down the app drawer from top, just tap & hold and pull down from the location you set, from few millimetre down where we pull down the status bar.
(this you have to set after each boot)

No recent activity after custom launcher install

The recents button always displays "no recent activity" after I installed apex. There doesnt seem to be a way to access recently used cached apps.Id like to see what apps are running in the background.
Any way to fix this?
edit: I was searching too specifically, I see the thread about this issue now. Looks like my only option is to use a custom task switcher.
ecent apps shortcuts just opens the the stock menu.

I use Fullscreen+ to disable stock nav and notification bar
It provide nav button, recents app and mini notification bar

Quick Access To Battery Status?

i am running Stock up including clock face but with NULL_18 as base for extra benefits.
how can i quickly see the battery status like what i see when i plug it in?
currently i have to go to Settings > Battery which is not quick and easy.
i had used the Watch Style app where you can get faces with battery but it seemed to use more battery and i like Stock look.
thanks for any suggestions.

When I double-tap, the status bar shows up. The problem is now when I load a full-screen app, the status bar is always there at the top. How do I go back to hiding the status bar at all times?

I use GMD gesture control to create a gesture to toggle the status bar on and off

Thanks, I'll check out GMD. In the meantime, is there a setting somewhere to revert back to the no-statusbar UI?

Are you looking for a setting to switch back to the original tw launcher or for use in the nova launcher? To set touch whizz as the default launcher just go to nova settings and it's the first option, select touch whizz, switch the screen of and use the twisting arm wake gesture to select home. If you're looking at changing the nova settings it might be an idea to reflash null and not check full ui in the aroma options. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. It's a bit late here and I'm a bit frazzled

I'm in the TouchWiz launcher / shell, which is nice. No issue there. My problem is I two-finger tapped or double-tapped the screen to try gestures, and the status bar appeared at the top, showing the battery %, time, Bluetooth icon, etc. I now have no way to make this status bar disappear at the top. For example, I see it when I'm in Settings, or in the root browser, or any custom app.
It seems the two-finger tap toggled it on, but there is no way to toggle it off. Where is the setting to turn it off?

That's not the two finger toggle. The two finger toggle on stock or null without full system ui is a shortcut to brightness/volume and battery screen. Sounds like you've selected full system ui in the aroma settings. I can't see any options to switch off the status bar in apps. You can turn it off on the nova launcher with nova settings but that doesn't apply to apps. You can try flashing the Rom again and uncheck the full status ui and see if the status bar is still present in third party apps or you can download another third party app to control things like the status bar in apps. There's a list of third party apps you could use in the help sticky null_/free falling theme..... It's under notifications icons/soft buttons
