Android service that hides and restores the systembar of android tablets. This enables playing, watching and reading at full screen!
Installation:* On KitKat, while this application works, it is better to use the application 'Immersive Mode' by the same author.* On HC and ICS, root is NOT required!* On JB (devices bought in 2013), ROOT IS REQUIRED.* More functionality is available on rooted devices (back/home/recent/menu)
Usage:* First click on icon with two arrows to show notification, then on notification to hide the system bar.* Tapping the bottom of the screen will reshow the system bar
Features:* Hiding/restoring systembar at any time, enables fullscreen mode.* Different options to reshow the systembar.* Option to reshow systembar on screen off.* Option to never reshow systembar (kiosk mode).* Option to hide the systembar from the notification area.* Option to not show the icon in the notification area, while still being able to hide the systembar from the notification area. (Only on JB and up)* Invisible button to control navigation on device (back button).* Popup Navigation Bar to control navigation while bottom bar is hidden.* Availability to show the recent apps (only on JB for now)* Option to hide systembar at boot time.* Tasker/Locale scripting integration: this program registers itself as a locale plug-in.
Current bugs:* Problems with phones like Nexus 4 when receiving calls or when alarm rings while systembar is hidden.* If you do an OTA update, most devices will lose root, HideBar will stop working till you root the device again.* Recent applications currently only works with Jelly Bean.
Devices:* Devices that contain the systembar or navigation bar (bar at bottom of screen).* Supports Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.* Newer Nexus devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10)* Most tablets and Google TV devices. Also some phones (must contain bar at bottom).
