[Q] Hide notification bar when there are no notifications

Hi,
I'm searching for a possibility to unhide a hidden notification bar only then when a notification is there.
I dont want to unhide it via home-button or gesture, it shall appear when there is a notifiction.
someone have an idea, how to solve this?

I think this would be a wonderful tweak! Here's hoping a willing developer sees this.

I was about to say I'm all for this, but then I realized showing signal strength is kinda important no? And battery life, but a widget on the home screen can solve that.

That would be pretty sweet

Look for a launcher in the market one of them does this...I forget which though, sorry

^ADW launcher does this I believe. I may be wrong though.

use adw. you can hide it then use a gesture to unhide it.

This is an awesome idea!

Well using gestures, use the up swipe to hide/unhide the status bar and downswipe to open up the notifications, so you can open notifications by down swipe and when you close it the status bar automatically hides... and this is possible in ADW. That's the best option I can think of, I myself use that

IPhone 4s style?

while i am no tasker genius or for that matter user even. i feel that this might be able to be accomplished with tasker and a launcher that has the option to hide the status bar. since tasker waits for something to happen such as receiving a notification you could then have tasker execute showing the status bar and then hiding it once there are no more notifications. in adw you can set up an icon to show and hide the status bar and also as mentioned before use a gesture. idk if tasker can use a gesture or icon. but if it can then an icon that is placed somewhere within the launcher for its executing could be used. if you didnt want it visible it could be hid in the hidden dock bar to hide and also to use, if for some reason you needed to access the status bar. idk im just speculating. if someone was more familiar with tasker could chime in and maybe give more insight on if this is plausible or not would be interesting.

You could keep it hidden and use tasker to show toast (pop up) notifications , I think its possible

[Q] How do you remove the menu bar at the bottom of the screen?

Hello,
Do someone know how to remove the menu bar at the bottom of the screen? I mean the bar with the 'home' , 'back', and 'windows' icons. It takes a lot of space and makes the screen look a lot smaller than 5".
Help?

Are you being serious?
So how do you plan to navigate around your phone, they are nav keys for your phone, they are there because there are no hardware ones, without them you phone is pretty much useless to use.
You can buy apps of playstore which hide the keys I have used GMD auto hide soft keys there is a free one to try the paid version has quite a few more settings, there are ROM's that have smaller keys

root, install xposed module and then set navigation bar to 0
Then you can use gravity box with pie controls

Lol, of course not that way. I meant that i wanted to hide the bar in some kind of way. Do you think they will make it less visible in their future updates. Especially when Iæm watching a movie its quite annoying. If they are not going to fix it, they shouldn't say that the screen is 5". It takes a lot of the user experience away. In addition the Z1's screen is way smaller than the G2, if the bar cannot be invisible of some sort.
Do you think this will be fixed in the future updates?

You can remove nav bar like Greg just said and install app from app store...

This app will hide navigation bar when you don't need it or just want to make it smaller...

You can also use LMT as a replacement for the nav bar

Like someone just said using xposed installer with gravity box you can reduce the size of the navbar, but you will need root.
There is also an app called fullscreen in the play store that allows you to get rid of it and have icons in the corners of your screen instead.

Just installed 4.3 and root, but cant get rid of the sony nav bar using my usual method (fullscreen toggle app).
is this a 4.3 related issue? full screen toggle requested root permissions when i launched it, but when i select disable nav bar and reboot, the sony nav bar is still present? Anyone any ideas?
I much prefer button saviour for nav buttons, so i maximise screen real estate and swipe to access nav buttons

Lock icon in Status bar?

Used to have a little lock button in the corner of the status bar back when I had my S3. Miss that with the X. I've looked around and can't find a mod, does anyone know of an xposed module or anything that maybe I'm overlooking? I know GravityBox has a quicksettings lock tile, but I really liked the button right there.

I thought GB had a double tap status bar off setting. I also used hold home button to turn off via GB.

Hey thanks for the long-press tip. Didnt' realize that was an option. Thanks.

[Q] Smart pull down notification xposed

Hi guys!
I'm on stock 5.1 and I miss only on feature from cm based rom: smart pull down notification (if there aren't any notification, pulling down is opening the toggles ; if there are notifications, pulling down is opening the notifications).
This option used to be available on gravity box for kitkat, but not in lollipop.. Is there a way or an additional module to obtain this feature?
Thanks a lot!!

Check out the app LMT PIE. Amongst many other very useful things, it has what the dev calls "invisible swipe areas." I use one in the center to to fully open the notification drawer. You can set one on the top right to open the quick controls. It's not exactly what you describe, but you can always get the view you want just by pulling down from the preselected area.

There is an option under QuickSettings management in GravityBox to pull down the toggles using the right or left edge of the notification bar. It doesn't work exactly like smart pulldown but it's a decent work-around.

thanks guys
but i really like to have smart pull down.. i think i'll have to try back cm12.1!

How to make Navigation Bar stay on permanently?

hi everyone. is there a way to keep the Navigation Bar on S10 from hiding itself in apps like Snapchat and just make the bar be visible permanently? Ideally would like to reduce the screen size to end at the Nav Bar top border and not having a Nav Bar as overlay, if that makes sense. thanks!

Nova can do that I'm sure

i have Nova installed. i was unable to find an option for that. i did find a somewhat of a work around and that was by installing Good Lock app from galaxy apps and then adding on a One Hand Operation+ extension to it. i can swipe from the edge side and have nav buttons pop up that i can sticky. its not the best solution, but it works. kinda disappointed that for a $900 phone you can't customize it.. AND they removed led notification lights.. wtf
