Could someone make a mod to hide statusbar? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

As the title, i just want to hide the statusbar. I've tried "gmd hide bar" and "full!screen" but it can't show incoming call screen. So, could someone make a mod to hide statusbar? Thanks

Use App Settings through XPOSED FRAMEWORK. It has this feature. Search on the xda thread to get that.

Sony has introduced the transparent status bar, if that helps.
I'm sure, if not already, it'll filter down to the Sony XPERIA 2012 range soon.
Make Your Xperia Z, T, TX, V Status Bar and On-Screen Buttons Transparent
You can see your wallpaper, with the status bar transparently overplayed.
Just an option if it works for you.

Notification bar on fullscreen mode

Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back

[Q]can i make my status bar transparent?

hello everyone
i have a question
can i make my xperia s status bar transparent ? or it's impossible
It depends on what status bar are you using.
For some status bar (e.g. Tab 'n' Grid) it is easy to make status bar transparent.
But for some w/o status bar settings it is difficult to change to transparent.
Yes, yes you can. Try modding it yourself. It's very easy.

As raghavsharmaxda correctly said, status bar and notification bar are the same, but Notification drawer is different
If you are on stock, then the status bar is already transparent by default in TouchWiz launcher in recent 4.2.2 but only for the lockscreen and launcher.
Although if you are on a custom launcher like KitKat then the launcher might have an option to toggle transparent status bar on/off.
If you use modules to manually select the color of the statusbar to 100% transparent there's a good chance that it'll appear white or some other color on it's own depending on the app you are using.
You see apps don't have the color of the status bar defined, they assume your system will do it on it's own.
Advice : if you are using modules to make it transparent, then expect it to be transparent all the time. If you don't want that then simply use the default Touchwiz launcher or a launcher that supports and/or has an option for toggling transparent status bar.

Yes like I said in my last post, using xposed modules will make your status bar transparent for all apps too.
And sorry I don't use any kitkat launchers or intend to. You'll have to try around and experiment with different ones.
I can recommend you Next Launcher, it has option to toggle transparent status bar but it's not even close a kitkat launcher.
AFAIK transparent status bar option on all launchers will only work fine on Kitkat. On JB it will always appear solid (transparent or not) , no transparent gradient.

How to change navigation bar and status bar color

Hey guys.
Today I'm gonna show you how to change your status and navigation bar color.
You have two options
i) manually change the color.
ii) let the navi bar and status bar change color according to each app.
For doing this please follow following steps. If you have any issues comment your problems.
1) you should have a rooted phone. Doesn't matter if semi root or full root.
2) have xposed installer installed.
3) go on xposed installer> downloads and search for tinted status bar.
4) install the module and activate it. 5) reboot
6) open the module and scroll down till you search animate color settings. In this your status bar will change the color according to the app you open ex. Google chrome or hangout. (Picture 1)
7) go to default settings in the app and click link status bar and nav bar...(picture 2) ! Now open hangouts and see!
8) If you want to change the colour of Facebook. Then go back to the app home screen and go to per app tints. It will first scan your device to see the apps. Then find Facebook. Open the Facebook tile and you will see many options. Choose the first one which says all activities ooveride(picture 3)
In this you can change the navigation bar and status bar color manually. (Picture 4)
DONE!!!
____________________________________
NOW IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE COLOR ON HOMESCREEN!
1) go to the app.
2) go to default settings
3) scroll down till you find some tiles. The first two are navigation bar and status bar on the home screen.
4) you can change the colour manually

[Q] Does it possible to change smallapps bar position?

Hi all! The thing is im using hide navbar function from serajr XX module, and when i hide navbar all apps adopts very nice to new display dimensions, except for small apps bar, it keeps black rectangular bar under smallapps bar its a background from softkeys.. Look at the pictures
1 picture is with navbR enabled
2 picture is with navbar hidden u can see the black bar left after softkeys hidding ..
3 picture is with smallapps bar hidden and u can see that black bar is dissapeared..
So question is does it possible to change possition (drop down to the bottom of the screen) of a smallapps bar? I know here is an app called "app settings" witch can change size of an app size on the screen but it doesnt work on LP..
Don't know much technically, but as far as hacks go, you could mess around with apktool and udn module, (I posted an example here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/hide-softkeys-t3298241 or try messing with screen resolution, (dpi). Probably Venkat Kamesh would know how to do what you're asking, (the right way), but might be pretty advanced. I don't know how far you want to go ...
