[Q] Can the notification bar go away?

I rooted my NC for the sole purpose of having kindle for android on my NC.
(and perhaps angry birds i guess )
Kindle works as good as everyone said it would, with just one problem.
The slider at the bottom is occluded by the notification bar, therefore unaccessible.
when i click the menu button, kindle detects the notification bar at the bottom and offsets its in-app menu to show up above the notification bar, but it doesn't seem to be true when I tap the middle of the page to bring up the slider.
Can we make the notification bar to NOT show up?
(and make it show up only when we double click the home "n" button? or something?)
or will it be possible for the kindle to offset the slider slightly higher so that it doesn't overlap the notification bar?
thanks bunch~~

Hiding the notification bar

Every so often is my phone is busy, I manage to crash the notification bar so that it disappears from the screen. Even when I open other apps on my. This got me thinking. Is there a way I can hide the notification bar so that it's even hidden in apps and not just the home screen or other apps that don't have the option to hide it?

[Q] Hide status bar but still see incoming notifications

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to hide the status bar in my homescreens but have it reappear just when I receive a notification (so I can see the preview on the status bar).
Also, is there a way to hide my status bar in my homescreens but have it reappear by tapping the area where it would normally be?
I have looked for a way to do this but I have only found methods of completely hiding the status bar without being able to see it when necessary...
Thanks.

Has anyone found a way to do this?

I don't know if this is what you mean, but I use ADW (the paid one) and I have my status bar hidden and the home button pulls the notifications down when I want to see/check. If I get a notification, it doesn't stay down, but it is simple to hit the home button, check notifications and then slide it back up.

I was actually looking for something that would either:
1) show me the notification alert at the top of the screen even when I have hidden the status bar OR
2) allow me to see the status bar whenever I want (possibly a button press/gesture/etc.)
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Adw launcher or go-laucnher can do that.
hide the notification bar, use gesture to hide/unhide it

Yea ADW- Launcher does this. You can hide the notification bar permanently but then set a gesture to swipe down/up and you get it to pop up like it was always there. Do the same swipe and it goes away.

OK, thats good to know.
Thanks for the help.

Do you have a dark bubble on the search bar widget?

What's its function?

I have, yes, but mine has appeared over the "Google" text. It appears to be a "press" animation that is "stuck" or something. I just press on the location and it opens the Google app, then when back to the home screen it is gone. Not sure how to reproduce it.

Am able to reproduce it, by touching the Google search bar on the Google Now page, the far left page, the bubble stays where I pressed.
Nobody else has this?
Really?

I don't have the bubble on the home screen or by touching the Google search bar on the Google Now page. I tried touching the search bar several times and never saw the bubble.

I have it -- only on the 6, no other device [yet]. I can watch it pulse and change slightly and it moves from the center of the bar to the middle of the right half sometimes. Tapping the widget then cancelling input will make it go away for a while. Maybe it's Google's way to remind us to use the search bar since it's something I do not frequently do.

I can reproduce it by touching the Search Bar and swiping down, then the dot will stay where ever you touched it until you press on the widget to perform a search. I've done this when trying to swipe down the notification window but not quite hitting the status bar to pull down the notification window.

I've noticed this on my N6 as well on the same bar. If I tap in the bar and tap away, the bubble will go away. I thought it was a bug in the animation. I can reproduce it by touching the bar and dragging my finger out of the bar.

Hide/change color to the navigation bar?

Hi,
Is it possible to make the navigation bar be hidden while in the home screen outside of apps? Cause in apps you can hide it and go full screen.
Also is it possible to hide the top bar with the clock and icons kinda like the nav bar when it's hidden making that you have to swipe down ( up for nav bar ) to reveal it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in settings-> Display->Navigation bar
turn on the show and hide button setting
now double tap the dot on the far left of the nav bar (will turn into outline rather solid circle)
caveat nav bar will show up when virtual keyboard is activated*
