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 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 looks great with xposed and gravity box so that my navbar is transparent and can be hidden on command!
thank you!

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..

A bit laggy compared to using one of the root options.

Thank you,.!.!
Only reason I wanted to rood was immersive mode, this is close enough.
I love this phone even more now - coming from a 32gb One plus one.
Damn! You had a oneplus one? I got an invite but I'm gonna have to pass on that

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.
Hi, when using a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova, there is no notification bar. Does anyone know how I can get notifications? I tried Swipe Status Bar but it doesn't work. Thanks

There is no constant notification bar like on a phone (always at the top) but you can change the settings to have "swipe down" to display notifications.
Apex settings-->behavior settings-->under gestures select "swipe down"-->show notifications
Problem is, that only works on the home page, not while in other apps. And getting to the home page while in other apps is a pain, since they didn't make a home button...unless I've somehow just missed that.
All In One Gestures (app) is your answer - install from Play Store.
Allows you to configure swipes and taps to allow, e.g, Home action.
Hello, I have a problem with my BLA-L29 (BLA-L29 8.0.0127 (C432). After startig an app I press the button with the blue text about displaing in full screen mode, then another screen appears wit information about restarting the app anf when I press "ok" nothing happens. The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is still visible and I can't turn it off. Please help.
Hi ya. You need to set your navigation bar to hide. It will give you an arrow on the left you can press to hide the navigation bar, it will be in full screen but it doesn't hide the navigation bar unless you tell it too. It's under setting, smart assistance, system navigation.

Thank You I've thought that in the full screen mode the navigation bar shoul dissapeat "by itself" without pressing any keys
I'd prefer it, if the bar disappeared of its own accord until you needed and you could pull it up. But you need to use the settings I've shown and the use the triangle shape at the edge. You never know it may change in the future. :good:
I want to disable the notification shade entirely as its very irritating mid game. sometimes even pulls down the whole notification area since I use claw many buttons near the top of screen.
google only give solutions to disable notifications not the bar itself.
im currently unrooted and on stock rom don't mind unlocking and flashing if necessary.
I use full screen mode with gestures not buttons like shown in screenshot, enabled for getting using screenshot shortcut only (by long press back button)
