I am running the Kang release of ICS on my GTab. I am a big fan of ADW Launcher but on ICS, there is a blue bar that runs the length of the screen at the top. I have not been able to find a way to get rid of it (if there is a way). Anyone?
disabling it as default isnt' working here, but when you do set a swipe action in awd launcher to "hide/unhide statusbar" it works fine.
hope that helps.
If you want to permanently disable it and make sure you don't accidentally enable it by swiping, the easiest way would be this:
Long press on homescreen
Choose "Launcher Actions" -> "Show/Hide statusbar"
Click the icon you just made to hide the status bar
Delete the icon to make sure you won't accidentally make it come back
Enjoy
PS: Some people seem to believe that you can't get to "my apps" or "ADW options" if you disable the status bar on top. That is not the case, you click on the "options" (3 dots) icon on the bottom bar to get options, and you can get both app list and options with launcher actions.
I had a similar issue. I couldn't get the status bar to hide when using the option form the settings menu. Instead I set up a button to show and hide it. Its working great, status bar is just a click away.
I appreciate the replies. Feel stupid for not trying the hide status bar.
ADW just plain rocks!
Shame theres not a way to keep the buttons (app draw and all) but remove the blue bar.
Still, at least it matches the clock and wifi at the bottom of the screen :E
Thanks for the heads up on this one! That Blue line was driving me nuts!
Impossible to remove the blue bar.
It does not work for me.

An alternative???

This package places the status bar on the bottom, add soft buttons to the status bar and remaps home button to toggle the status bar on and off for applications that don't normally display the status bar.
I would like to thank rookie1 for the buttons on the status bar and Samuelhalff for help moving the status bar to the bottom and the notification button.
Version 4-10-11
Changed home button back to the defaults
Created a separate app for toggling the status bar called Status Bar Toggle. This app will allow you to toggle the status bar by just tapping the app once or by clicking on the notification.
Removed the status bar service feature from Nookie-Froyo Utils. It is in the new app.
Added QuickDesk app.
If you configure QuickDesk app to open with double click, then you can put the new app there to toggle status bar.
Version 4-7-11
Long press home button toggles the status bar
Renamed NookColorUtils to Nookie-Froyo Utils
Long press menu displays search
Added a service to Nookie-Froyo:
This service does not force the status bar to be displayed. To force the status bar to be displayed, long press the Home Button; long press again to turn the feature off. If you are in an application when you do this, the status bar will not be displayed until you exit the application and relaunch it. This service was added to overcome this limitation. When the service is running, a long press of the Home Button will cause the status bar to update by placing an icon on the status bar and sending an Ongoing notification to the notification window. The result is that the status bar will appear without requiring you to exit the application. This icon and notification will also serve as an indicator that the status bar is being forced to be displayed. Long press the Home Button again and the status bar will disappear in applications that do normally have the status bar."
Version 3-31-11
Cleaned up the icons
Change the height of the status bar to 32px
Fixed an issue to make the status bar display properly at 200 Density
NookColorUtils.apk 3-27-11 Version 0.2.0
I added a tab to force or not to force the Status Bar for Runtime
If you already have it installed, uninstall first.
adb install nookcolorutils.apk
I will add this to the next zip release
Version 3-27-11:
I've add the capability to force the status bar or not. Just add the following line to /system/build.prop not force the status bar
Code:
sys.force_status_bar=false
or to force the status bar to always show,
Code:
sys.force_status_bar=true
I will come up with a graphic app to do this in the near future. Until then, you will have to edit /system/build.prop manually.
Version 3-26-11:
Cleaned up the the top bar on the notification window by removing the grap handle
Long pressing home now behaves the same as long pressing the physical button
The buttons on the status bar now gives feedback (Orange glow)
The icons look kind of ugly. Does anyone want to take a crack at making some icon? Wretchedlocket? They need to be 42x28. Two icons per button. One normal and one for pressed (feedback).
Version 3-24-11:
Force status bar to be always present
Got rid of the weird flick up to bring the expanded status bar down
Brought the the buttons closer together.
Changed the order of the icons on the left (Thanks wretchedlocket, you saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what file determined the order of the icons.)
Version 3-23-11:
FC issue for the browser and the dolphin has been fixed! Network location is working again.
Got rid of the ugly buttons
Version 3-22-11:
Moved buttons to the right.
Expand status bar button now toggles.
In the works:
Push up brings the bar down. Needs to be fixed.
Make the status bar black.
Version 3-20-11:
Status Bar moved to the bottom.
Notification Bar expands up and collapses down.
Notification button added to the status bar.
In the works:
Push up brings the bar down. Needs to be fixed.
Make the status bar black.
Version 3-18-11:
Escape, Menu, and Home buttons on the left side of the status bar.
Messages and Icon are center vertically on the status bar.
Notification drop down full screen for all LCD densities.
Flashable version is for the eMMC. I don't have an SDCARD version yet. Look in the zip if you want to manually copy the files. Copy both /system/app and /system/framework.
Version 3-19-11:
Put in working Browser.apk. You will need to tap the address bar quickly then open another page, this wil give you time to set the homepage.

thanks- easy install- works great- Im assuming the FC with the stock browser is a known issue?
Looks fantastic! However my stock browser fc and dolphin crashes when opening google homepage.
I developed a fc on browser as well not related to location as it fc before fully opening

Great job! Works great, the size is perfect! Thank you.
Great work, but since installing to eemc last night i've had two cases where the touch-screen tap was not recognized (one in Angry Birds, one in TapaTalk), and the only way to cure it was a hard reboot using the power button. I could slide the screens but no taps were recognized on any screen (including the home screen) once it happened.
Never had this with the stock framework - I've turned OC down in case that was the reason.
In retrospect, I wish I had backed-up the existing framework files so that I could easily reinstall the stock framework should I ever decide to....

I've had no problem with Angry Birds, but I don't use TapaTalk. Which kernel are you using?
If it installed correctly - I'm using Daligrin's 2/25 for Froyo - I backed off from the 3/8 version when I was having wifi connect problems. I don't know how to confirm because I always get the same kernel version in settings, regardless of what I try to install:
2.6.29-omap1

Try clearing dalvik-cache and cache from CWR.
Thanks Brian - I've wiped 'em both.
Let's just keep an eye on it. I didn't mean to make a major issue here, after all it might not be related. I'll just call it one of life's little mysteries for now, and I'll holler again if it is a persistent problem.
Thanks again for the great work.
Great work on latest version. Any idea why both stock browser and dolphin both fc when you go to google homepage? Any work around? I can go to the browser address bar to search using google from there.

Good, I was just about to tell you about this thread in the other thread.
Brian, this is excellent! Really.
Awesome going to port to cm7?
Very nice work! Would you consider a version with the buttons on the right side of the status bar? I think its more intuitive for a right handed person to reach for buttons that are on the right side of the screen instead of crossing over the screen with their hand and blocking it.
brianf21, let me know when you get the browser fc fixed. People request this mod in my theme all the time and ask me about the browser FC
I think by the time we get done with all this stuff, we'll have made the Nook the way B&N should have
Great work so far. Good to see more development on this mod

Thanks for this! I have tired the other hacks but never got them to work. No problems at all with this one.
Well, one problem. How do I set another launcher instead f the default one? I tried clearing defaults in "Settings> Applications> Manage applications> All> Launcher" but "Clear defaults" is grayed out.
For now I am just putting my Zeam shortcut on the launcher home screen but I would like to set Zeam as default.
Thanks for this!
I just update ADW and in doing so it changed my setup including not a big deal, however after looking through all of the menu settings I cannot figure out how to hide the main dock bar. I did have my setting backed up but when I restore then the system revert back to the new ADW defaults. Anyone figure this out?
I just figured this out a few minutes ago.
adw settings -> general behavior -> gestures -> swipe down actions -> open/close dockbar
go back to main screen, swipe down on your screen to close the dock bar
go back to settings and change your gesture back to whatever you were using.

Nice find, I just found a way myself by long pressing on the screen and choosing launcher actions than open/close dock bar.
Now to find out how to place an icon outside of the blue square in other words place an icon anywhere on the screen as before.

Found a problem with both methods, if you rotate your tab the bar comes back up and you have to swipe it again.
If you don't want the dock disable it in the settings

That setting is missing with the recent update also the secondary dock is now gone in this update.
Did the update remove full screen use? Unless I am not understanding the settings in the update. I have been messing with it for an hour. Last update was amazing, this one, seems to have lost some functions.

Apparently the recent update consoldate the old "Dock Bar" and the "Main Dock". They seem to have removed the setting for show/hide the dock from the settings menu, but like others discovered you can still toggle it via the old "show/hide dock bar" command.

The developer has posted another update the fixes the hiding of the bar not sticking also you can use the whole screen again to place icons. I like ADW again.
Easiest thing I've found is to use the "Open/close Dockbar" shortcut.
Longpress desktop ~ Launcher Actions ~ Open/close Dockbar will put the shortcut on the desktop. Then you can open or close it with one touch instead of swiping and/or setting/resetting your ADW Settings.
Hi,
Currently I'm using iLauncher and I was wondering why transparent statusbar doesn't work. Everybody is saying that it will only work with live wallpaper (on other launchers than GO), but iLauncher doesn't support this option. Then I realised why not simply refresh it?
Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Tablet Tweaks> check Bottom status bar and dead zone
then go back to home
again
Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Tablet Tweaks> UNcheck Bottom status bar and dead zone
go to home and your statusbar IS TRANSPARENT.
Yea but it ends here, cause if you go to settings and go back it will be black again
It's funny
you are so awesome!!
Hi All,
It took me a while to figure out, but you can add an option to hide the grey nav bar on an unrooted HAM2 and make it reappear by swiping up. It is somewhat confusing because the nav bar setting is not available if you have your Emotion UI set to the Standard home screen style. You have to apply the "Simple" home screen style first, which is the one with the giant colored buttons for grandma to use.
After you apply the Simple home screen style, go back into settings, select More Settings and then scroll down to the bottom of the list. You will see a new option called "Navigation Bar" has been added. If you press this option you will see a toggle switch for "Hide Navigation Bar" along with some instructions on how to use it. Once you have toggled the switch to hide the navigation bar, you can revert back to the Standard Emotion UI and the setting will be retained.
After I hid the navigation bar I found some apps I had difficulty installing would start to work OK. For example, if you try to install NBA Jam without hiding the navigation bar, it will get hung on the initial splash screen. After I hid the navigation bar, NBA Jam would check for updates and then proceed to the game without any problem.
Hope this helps anyone having difficulty with the nav bar!

This is the Kitkat feature I missed the most. My main motivation to buy a HAM2 was to read novels in it, instead of carrying a smaller phone and a tablet. For that purpose, the screen is stunning, but that dammed gray navbar was always in the way. Not anymore!
Thank you so much for this tip. You made my day!
Wow, nice find!
Now I have a bit more room on this already huge display. Thanks! :good:

This option should be there regardless of what launcher u are using.. It's a standard feature in the settings.. No? I have a China version on 4.4.2.. No sure if there's a difference though..

WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing this great find. It works GREAT!!!!!
Thanks given. This was the only reason I was rooted. Along with greenify. Now with the ability to hide the navbar and the ability to disable background apps included in the stock ROM, I really don't have any need for root. I still might use links2sd to install more apps if I hit that 6gb limit. This phone is solid!
Making the navigation bar hidden is called "immersive mode". There are apps on the Play Store that supposedly let you toggle immersive mode. Please post your results if you try one.
I'm guessing those apps will let you switch to immersive mode independent of standard or simple mode.
I tried another launcher than stock but I switched back because there where no settings/shortcut icons (wi-fi on off etc.) there. But now I can't get them back. Where are they? I just have notifications now.
Have I messed with some setting somewhere or what?
/Marcus
With the modified EUI, there are no Quicksettings in Notification area. You have to press the softkey left (= square, Menu Button) to launch the "recent apps" screen with shortcuts to most system settings und some (configurable) other shortcuts...
Aha! Thanks. There they where. Not a good place in my opinion. Really bad place to have "shortcuts" on
other question about the notification bar. Is their a way to change the really small fonts against bigger ones ? Sometimes it's hard to view the ultra small icons and letters in the notification bar. It's so small that I believe I need glasses. I'm on EUI 5.9.23S

Frank
