Disable Notification Bar

I have hardware problems with my HTC touch screen sensor. When I touch sometimes in the middle or bottom of the screen, it 'thinks' that I am touching the top of the screen and opens the notification bar down. Since there is probably no way that I can fix the touch screen:
My question is. Is there anyway to disable the notification bar?

Is there anyway that I can re-calibrate the screen?

This is the exact problem I am having...I just don't know where Locale & Text is in settings. Probably a 2.1 thing:

You can hide the notification bar if you use LauncherPro

take off your screen protector

Improving single hand operation - No root

Hello guys,
Does anyone know of application which improve single hand operation of the device's large screen?
I have install Lazy Swipe and looking for more. I'm thinking of install Dolphin browser as well because it has activation from the corner which can help with the single hand operation.
Planning to get more gesture control operation on the device too.
One of the thing which is bothering me is the notification bar. I'm surprised Sony didn't include any brightness control on the notification drop down bar nor there is a control for volume.
I don't like using the hardware key as they can get ruined + the casing aint great.

Not really sure how to help you but you can try using Nova launcher coupled with gestures to launch all the application you need.
I have a small hand but I think one hand use is not that tough though.

Is there any way to replace the menu button with a statusbar drop down button? Something like the LG one.
I can lock the screen using shortcuts with the home button, but pulling down the status bar is really hard for my small hands.

You can use launchers which support gesture to do it. But note, it's not global, only occurs when using the launcher.

Windows 10 mobile Virtual navigation bar

Hi, i have a lumia 535, this phone doesn´t have fisical navigation bar (back, windows, search) it does have a virtual/sofware one, it also auto hides sometimes in some apps, my problem is in some apps/games when it autohides it leaves a black space where it should be the nav bar and in some game/app it doesn´t let you see what is behind it, and you have to play with some elements of the game under this "black space" and in other it also moves the touch areas of some elements of the game/app (li.e.: you have to touch 2 cm down and 2 cm right to click certain button) its like the app is trying to be full screen but this balck space or the navbar doesnt let you see beneath it, any reg tweak or solution to this matter?
Thanks

No
Just wait for the windows 10 mobile final version.

I found that disabling autohide in the Settings, then swiping up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the nav bar and swiping up again to hide it takes care of the screen problem. I wouldn't touch WM10 with someone else's phone for now. The supposed 'final' release will be too buggy.

Any way to reduce the size of the navigation bar?

I keep returning to home screen whenever I type too quick while pressing the space bar
This gets very annoying. I've searched for a nav bar to replace the stock one but then my dock apps get hidden behind my nav bars and the keyboard also messes up too.
Is there anything to reduce the size of the nav bar?

Why not remove the bar entirely? Just use the button. One tap for back, hold for home and swipe for multitasking.

Not as far as I know. There are other options that can help. You can hide it altogether, which is how I have it. Loving it since day one. Or you could get it to hide in a floating dock. Or bring it up only on swipe up, I think.

I had a similar problem with a different phone. I ended up simply moving the keyboard up using the keyboards settings. Unfortunately I don't remember which keyboard app it was. I use SwiftKey now, and it lets me float the keyboard.

Too confusing. They should let you customise the gestures

Honestly I've removed the nav bar I just use the single button, finger print reader.
Tap for back
Hold for home
Swipe for recents.
Don't think I could go back to a nav bar now.

Gesture navigation

Good evening all.
I have, on a Xiaomi smartphone, deactivated the navigation bar in the lower part of the screen, and I activated the "Full screen mode", which allows you to navigate via gestures.
For example:
- A swipe from the border of the screen (left or right) to the center of the screen, to GO BACK.
- A swipe from the lower part of the screen to above, to go to the HOME SCREEN.
- A swipe from the lower part of the screen to the center, to open the TASK MANAGER.
- A swipe, with three fingers, from the upper part of the screen to the center, to take a snapshot of the screen.
And now, here comes my question: does Rog Phone 2 (china roms and/or global roms) has those gestures? And if not, is there a way to get them? I find them pretty useful.
Thanks in advice!

It has them but usually using another app also provides more custom gestures. Fluid gesture navigation and things like that.

Thanks for the answer.
Since I don't think it will be off-topic, can you mention some third-part applications which gives smooth/fluid gesture navigation, and it's not a burden for battery and/or ram for the Rog Phone 2?
Thanks in advice

Fluid gesture navigations is what I would recommend

How can I hide the nav bar so I can just use a different app? Are the adb drivers available for this phone yet?
Edit. I now see that adb is universal. Also I would recommend Vivid N.G. for a minimal style.
