Hi Guys,
I hope if any one know a way to hide menu bar! I did find online hide bar apk file but it doesn't work with Ice
Thanks
you could try honeybar. It may or may not work, only one way to find out.
I cant link you to it because its not allowed on this forum. Im sure you know of places to look for it though.

*** Important note for ICS users: Honeybar is unsupported on ICS and will not hide the UI bar. I have examined the source for ActivityManagerService and it currently appears impossible to stop com.android.systemui

Thanks for the information! I hope soon we will have hide menu bar for Ice
ADW Ex has this option I think. I haven't used it in awhile though. I'm not sure if the free version does or not.

Sorry. I have it on my phone and was mistaking the status bar for the dock...
Hello,
I also try to hide the status bar of Ice Scream Sandwich, I tried HideBar, Honey
Hide Widget, GoLauncher etc ... they do not work with Ice Scream Sandwich.
Did you find a solution?
Thank you.
PS: Sorry for my English, I'm French.
It's built in. Add a launcher action to the desktop called "hide status bar". Then click the new icon to toggle the status bar on or off. Then delete the icon when satisfied.

Could you please tell this in more detail? In my Android 4 ICS there is no "launcher action".
When you say menu bar ... do you mean the bottom home, recent and back buttons at the bottom (status bar)?
if so try GMD Gesture control (paid) and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28694868 is a free version for just hiding the status bar GMD Hidebar and it should support ICS
Why are you still on ICS though, may i ask ?

i have noticed that the Am/Pm bar on the top of the screen starts to burn in, it would be great if somebody could make an app that would move the Am/Pm bar around so everybody's burn in's dont get any worse
I believe changing fonts every now and then could take care of it. I know it's not whast you asked for, I guess it would just act as a bandaid for now.
LauncherPro lets you hide the statusbar on the homescreen.

Zeam let's you do this as well and it's what I recently started doing. Another option might be to use a 24 hour clock. Not sure how much that would really help though.
If they have a way to black out the battery how come theres no way to get rid of the clock or black it out I dont use it anyway
egc-r2+voodoo jl4+jl4 modem
devs for the verizon fascinate found a way to remove the am/pm from the notification bar. probably the main reason they removed it on the nexusS lol we could look into how they removed it.

Murse thanks for the suggestion! I went and downloaded Zeam from the market and it's an excellent launcher which also allows you to hide status bar! And it's free, no ads! Thanks again buddy!
edit: Ok Zeam only removes the status bar from the home screen. Open the browser or any app and the status bar reappears so not useful for hiding status bar. Also live wallpapers freeze intermittently while running Zeam. Is a good launcher despite those shortcomings.
Removing status bar entirely will probably require a different rom, not an apk.

Do you have a link to something pointing to where they changed it. I am working on a mod that will allow you to change the color (like in cyanogen mod) and even hide time and/or am/pm.

Yes. I am working on a mod (for Nero3) that takes the "settings" features from cyanogenmod, so you can show/hide the time, show/hide am/pm and change the color.
I have the code in place in the services.jar, and let me tell you, that is no easy task... and I think it is "sort of" working. when I flash the modded services jar, I have no time, but i also dont have the signal strength, and battery. which is also part of the CM stuff.
I started creating a "custom" spareparts app, that is based on the CM one (it only has the time / status bar stuff). but currently i have been unable to get it to display the time or any of the other status icons.
I am not sure yet what the problem is. It could be because it is not signed as a system app, or it could be that I am missing something in the services.jar.
I would like to hide the status bar on my Neo.
I know that some apps do that like adw.launcher, but what I'd like is to change android source code in order to hide the status bar.
I think it's almost impossible. Devs for Launcher7 have done many efforts to try that, but didn't succeed. Try killing the statusbar sevice apk in the apps menu or with TiBu.
Edit: I can remember I once had the statusbar force closing, and didn't have a statusbar anywhere, but some other service might also stop running.
Use go launcher, it has that option!

Half of the launchers (AFAIK: ADW, Launcher7, LauncherPro, Go, ssLauncher...) have that option, but I think OP want's it outside of the launcher too.
Yes Go Launcher has this option.
You can add gestures and with a single slide to a chosen direction hide the status bar.

Ok ive tried it all Go launcher ex, launcher,pro ect but they only seem to be able get rid of the status bar in the homescreen and not the lock screen.
So my question is are there any apps for ics that would get rid of the status bar on the lockscreen ?
No, probably not. You can try installing an alternative lock screen that gives you the option of doing this, however.

Love the way you can get rid of status bar and also add widgets almost like having another home screen of its own
I've been searching for a launcher or a Rom that has this ability?
Basically, to be able to move the top navigation bar to the bottom of the screen. And instead of swiping down, swiping up to bring up all the options.
Anyone have any insight?

you might wanna say "status bar" not navigation bar. And to do this, you would have to install a custom ROM, as no launcher can do this. I believe Paranoid Android and PACman rom does this by making the phone into the tablet ui mode and having the status bar on the bottom.

The launcher doesn't do this sir. that woudl be the SystemUI that controls the Status bar and the Notification Dropdown. That would have to be modifed to do so.

Woops sorry, I guess I meant Status bar, Are there any other VZW Roms that are known to have this option?
How come a launcher cant do this if they can modify other things?

The launcher IS the interface that controls the homescreen/app drawer (hence the name "app" launcher). By installing a 3rd party launcher you override the default TW ones. The status bar is located in another application that cannot be replaced.

I would really like the stock Android status bar icons. My main gripe is that 4g/3g takes up a whole other icon instead of being combined into the cell signal. Any chance of modifying these without root?
This is always my complaint on Verizon phones. They insist on messing with the icons. I have not figured out anything yet, besides using a material status bar app from the play store, but the problem with it is the status bar will not go transparent on the home screen with Nova launcher. Once we can get Andromeda or Substratum support, it opens up a whole new world.

So close! This lets me enable/disable various status bar icons but not change them. Thanks though.
Found it! An app just called Status. Transparency on the homescreens only works if you have a non-live wallpaper tho.

Cool, thanks. I was really hoping to avoid just overlaying the system status bar, but that might be the only way unfortunately.
