Galaxy s3 tweak ! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys I used a galaxy s3 and noticed that if the finger is dragged from the top of screen even when the notification bar is not visible it shows up and pulling it down opens it any app. Is it possible that such a tweak can be made for nexus ?

and pulling it down opens it any app. And pulling it down opens it in any application that I may be using which is blocking it from view.
So to understand what you're saying, you're using an app that's taking up the full screen. The notification bar is disabled while you're in the app but if you place your finger where the notification bar should be and drag down, the notification bar then opens?

yes it would be possible. i know MIUI has this feature, so it shouldn't be too hard to port it over to and AOSP ROM.

Status Bar Removal beta + FullScreen beta [JellyBean]

Seeing as how some were concerned with burn-in/didn't want the status bar I'm releasing a first step towards it.
The status bar has been removed, however apps don't seem to reclaim it. I'll be working on this tonight/tomorrow and post any updates on it.
This is for Bigxie's v1 version of JB.
Update:
Adding a fullscreen version that permanently remains fullscreen after 2-3 force closes (There's only a few but they stop after a minute or two and I've yet to have any issues with anything else though I haven't extensively tested it).
XDA is having issues with photos for me, screenshot is here: http://postimage.org/image/yx6en8kif/
FullScreen Mode: http://multiupload.biz/0y10uw1bgdgh/FullScreen Mode_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
And for those with issues:
Standard JellyBean:

one questions: are only the icons removed or the hole status bar includig the black background?
the status bar doesn't burn in. the rest of the screen just loses brightness, whereas the status bar is black and doen't emit light. the oleds in this section and in the softbutton-section don't lose brightness because they aren't used that much. that's crappy, cause it is pretty good visible after just a couple of months of usage.

The whole status bar is gone, you can't even slide it down or anything. Also could you elaborate on the losing brightness part please?
Also if anyone else has ideas I'm willing to try them. Causing the SystemUI to crash it enters the correct full screen for a min or two, but that isn't permanent nor ideal.
especially the blue subpixels lose brightness the older they get. entering fullscreen mode, let's say watching a movie, shows, that the status bar and onscreen buttons area are more blue than the rest of the screen. this is because these areas weren't used that much.
samoled is very crappy when it comes to longevity. especially for power users it's really bullsh... i had it on every samsung samoled so far. only omnia 7 with windows phone doesn't show these "burned icons" because it's mostly running in full screen, except you touch the status bar, then the icons pop in.
Lol sorry to say but after reading this thread ... I'm just as confused as the box boy in your phones background... =\ not going to try this one...

I've seen a couple of requests like that one. Notifierpro apparently lets you (I've never tried it) and my curiosity as to how to actually remove the status bar lead me to this. (I'm not so worried about the burn in, and will leave my status bar there, I just know a couple of people seemed to want it gone to remove burn in)
Why not hide it with Nova/Apex launcher?

Because it will come back whenever you go into any other app. I don't care for this mod, but can see its use for some.

I might be able to make an app do it, to swap out the SystemUI.apk when toggled. idk if you can do that with the phone running though.
hi matt
just installed your Full Screen mod
and my Gnex is never starting (stays on bootloop)
I have the Jelly Belly V2 ROM
any idea ?

Probably isn't compatible with Jelly Belly V2.
I've only tested it on bigxie's v1
strange as it it is system.apk or system UI if I'm right , so must be the same on JB ROMs

Can a mod be made to make the notification bar auto hide?

Why I'm asking this is because of screen burn in. I know the damage is already done, but I'd like to slow down the process if I can. I know of different ways to slow it down but it will always eventually happen. Maybe for an upcoming version of android, Google or whoever could come up with a theme that didn't always have static images when you're using the phone, thus helping with screen life. Another alternative could be that there's a black bar in the notification area and you have to pull it down to see the different stats that are there currently. Top edge slide down is where the time, signal, connection type, battery, GPS and any other stuff. Bottom edge slide up could be the self hiding app drawer. That's just some brainstorming ideas. I have a feeling that the top and bottom are hard baked into the os. There's different kinds of launchers that look different, why couldn't an auto hiding launcher be there instead of a conventional one?
they have the ability to hide launcher? second option from bottom in my pic

What rom is that
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
I saw that apex launcher can hide the top bar, but I didn't see a way to get at the information if you swiped down on the bar.
I think I found what I was looking for. Go launcher ex has settings that I set that the home screen is completely black. If you slide down gesture, the notification bar appears. If I slide up gesture, the dock appears. If you go the same direction twice, it hides the dock or notif bar. Kinda neat if someone picked up the phone, they wouldn't initially figure out how to operate the phone.
Something I just thought of; while I'm typing this in xda app, the not if bar is showing. I wonder if there's a way to surpress it while using and app. The burn in from the bar and keyboard isn't when the home screen is on, it's when I'm in an app typing or browsing. Hmm...
You could use paranoid android, if in tablet mode you can hold the power button and there will be a thing that hides the statusbar, effectively going into full screen mode

Chrome randomly goes full screen

Hello everyone, I'm using Chrome as my main browser and there's something bugging me about its full screen behavior. Every once in a blue moon it goes totally full screen, hiding the Android bar at the top of the screen and I prefer this better. It makes use of the huge screen of the Note II. But then for most of the time it only hides is own address bar when scrolling down on a page and that's it. The Android status bar stays there and it's not total full screen. I've looked into the settings thoroughly but couldn't come up with a solution.
If you know what's going on please enlighten me. Thank you very much.

Chrome has gesture base feature for hiding action bar or address bar.
It is in built action and even no option for that in setting.
If you scroll down, action bar will be hide. If you scroll up, action bar will be visible.

If action bar is the bar with battery info and time and etc. It doesn't react to scrolling. Today I accidentally hid that bar and for a good couple of hours it didn't appear again no matter if I scrolled or tilted the phone. Now it came back. My Note II is as stock as it can be and I have no other issues with it. I'm confused now. Thank you for taking your time.
So you are talking about status bar. No chrome haven't provision for full screen without status bar.
But Samsung inbuilt stock browser having provision for full screen in settings. Check it out. May be you have observed in that browse.

I'm using Chrome. So what I'm experiencing must be some sort of a bug. Very very seldom this happens and I get a total full screen. I wish I could choose to have it that way all the time.
Thank you very much.
Adding pics. Maybe some of you also experience this?
I also have the Note ll and the same thing happens to me sometimes. I, unlike you, find this annoying and even though I don't know what causes it, restarting the app resets the bug. In case anyone wanted to know how to fix it.
If you have xposed installer ,using app settings app,you can use full screen to any app.

Multiview Help on 4.3

I could really use some help on this.. Tried 2 different 4.3 ROM's and it seems to be something within 4.3 I'm thinking. Anyway, When using Multiview and having both app's open at the same time, the notification bar hides. Is there anyway to prevent it from hiding? 4.1.2 doesn't have that problem and it's driving me insane trying to figure this out. If anybody has any ideas on what to try or knows the answer, please let me know.
Thanks all!

On mine, the status bar on top disappears when I have two apps running in multi-view.
However, if you move your finger downward at the top of the screen, the status line will appear.
Then you can open the status window completely with the usual downward swiping method.
I don't see any settings that lets you keep the status bar visible at all times while in multi-view.

Thanks. I'm looking for a way to keep it open while both apps are open. Is there maybe a build.prop entry I could try maybe?

So it looks like it goes straight into full screen mode when both apps are active. Is there a way to prevent full screen mode?

Notification icons not showing?

Notification icons just flash for 2 seconds in top left corner then disappear. I've turned off all battery optimization but problem persists. I'm referring to top left corner of the screen where notification icons are visible in other phones.
I think it ist the Same Problem that the Mi 9 and Note 7 Had too.

Thanks. They've disabled notification for all apps by default. Under notification settings there's 'app settings' and one has to enable notification for each app individually including message app. Notification Led working now but icons still don't stay on top left corner for long. On further reading most Mi phones with notch & running Miui 10 have/had this issue.

Heard that this issue should be fixed in MIUI 11 so they persist in the top left like stock Android.

Use Nots in Notch app for persistent notification icons. Have been using since note 7.
