I'm using an International S3 in the US. I updated it to the Official JB via Kies this morning.
Everything is ok except the Gallery.
The Gallery doesn't go to full screen like in ICS, it now has the notification bar on top.
Even when I'm viewing individual photo in full screen, a black dead space is still on the top (like a place holder for the notification bar).
It means that I can not use the whole screen to view the photo. I tried zooming in but the black space is always there.
Do you guys experience the same problem?
I'm thinking of finding a new gallery apps, because it's pretty annoying (missing the whole purpose of owning a big screen)
P/s: the screenshot of that black space are in the attached file.

yea I have it too.. would be nice if someone could fix it. Tried to use quickpic but its just not quite that good.
I think it's not a bug. Samsung has changed that in JB. I don't know why.
Hi folks... I'm hoping someone can give me a quick answer to my silly question.
On my Transformer Prime (stock, latest OS), a launcher update wiped out some of my display settings, and in getting it set back up again, one thing is stumping me.
I used to have it so that on the slide-out side bar (show/hide via down-swipe) had only the icons I added, and the placeholder spots were empty/transparent.
Now those placeholder spots show a "+" icon... and I can't remember how to clear those, nor can I remember what that side bar is actually called, so I'm having no luck searching for my answer. The downside of turning 40.
Help is appreciated.
before anyone asks, no this problem is not due to the theme choice. We've tried several themes with varying results on different devices (same theme on two phones give different results).
recently got cyanogenmod on the oneplus x. got a new theme and it's been fine, except over time some of the app icons are starting to change. now, there's nearly a full changeover!
See attached screenshot. You can see the icons go from being full size (normal) down to some smaller version within a white-ish circle. it's almost as if they've been put into a folder on their own. I've circled some green icons to show how they are normally, and some red ones to show the mutant beasts they are turning into.
I checked apps looking for any difference between the normal and smaller-size icons. They're both installed on internal storage. When I reinstall an app it still stays small (actually, if I reinstall an app with a normal sized icon it will turn it into a small one).
Anyways, if anyone has any idea why this is happening I'd appreciate it. These icons changing is getting kindof annoying.
thanks!
Hello,
Got this device yesterday and im truly amazed by it, its a great upgrade from the samsung s7 edge (which was a really good phone).
however the icons on the top are too small, i have to really focus and look close to see the time and the notification icons, in the sun its worse, is there a way to make the icons bigger?
second thing is that i have placed whatsapp in the line under the main screen, and i want to add it again on the next page, how can i do that? i tried everything, you just cant add the same app twice, why?

Hi,
I got a used OnePlus 7T Pro, because it was a better choice for me in many ways than new phones. I just absolutely love the screen.
But I was trying to find out, how to make actually everything fully use it. Afaik there used to be a way on A10, that is no longer working.
So I searched the whole week how to hide the status bar, and in the end decided to even root and try various Magisk modules, or EdXposed/GravityBox stuff, pretty much anything I could find because many people reported "status bar height = 0" to do the job. But it really doesn't.
It allows to hide the *contents* of the status bar, BUT the space there is still covered by an ugly bar that apps (browser, whatsapp, anything) aren't drawing over. And that looks even worse than having clock+battery present honestly :'(
So I am desperately trying to search for ANY way to accomplish a fullscreen experience. Does anyone know of one?
I actually like the stock OxygenOS personally. But at this point, I'm willing to hop on any good quality custom rom that would allow it.
(I am even considering somehow downgrading to A10, but would absolutely prefer not to).
I can't believe people here aren't all over this / that everyone with 7/7T pro didn't already do everything in their power to accomplish a full system-wide fullscreen experience. So, desperately pleading anyone, is there some Rom/Mod/Module allowing this?
Thanks
Oh, one additional thing: I noticed, that when changing the option under
Settings -> Developer -> Display Cutout
The status bar (and the reserved space around it) actually does change and move up/down for various options. The "Waterfall Cutout" makes the bar significantly narrower, and apps are properly respecting it (= being drawn a bit higher) too. Which gives me some hope.
There is an installable Magisk module called "None Display Cutout" from here:
[Remove display cutout][ROOT] Full screen 21:9 for apps in landscape, incl Netflix.
Requirements: Magisk root. Download and install the "None Display Cutout" in the Magisk managers module repo. It will add an option in developer settings display cutout options, "No Display Cutout". Choose it, and apps, including netflix, will...

And "No Nonsense Notch Overlay" from here

These just don't try to accomplish complete status bar disappearance, but they touch on the "Display Cutout" settings in some way. So they *could... maybe* be modified to make the status bar completely disappear? Since they alter the overall display bounds even on Android 11 successfully.
Honestly, those 2 are the most promising directions I stumbled upon, but I personally don't know how to modify them to do what I want (= shrink the whole status bar area to 0 pretty much)

I too am desperately looking everywhere having hidden the status bar for years and can't find any way to hide it anymore did you find anything that works? i'm rooted with magisk
I am sorry to say that I gave up. If you have energy to be dealing with this still and manage to find a good solution, pls ping me, but otherwise I'm now in peace with not being able to get rid of it Wish I could help but I tried for some time and just didn't find anything fully working.
Fullscreen immersive app can do this and I think Apex launcher can hide this too
I was aiming for getting rid of the status bar everywhere, in photos, twitter, maps, browser etc, not just homescreen (Apex).
And any "immersive apps" that sort-of work only manage to hide the time+notifs+battery from the status bar, but actually retaining the status bar itself :'(( Aka, any app starts drawing only under the area where the status bar always is. So I don't see the battery+time there, but I see an empty space - at that point it's just better to have the time there as normal, it just looks bad when simply empty :-|
Afaik the "immersive app" only work "properly" on the older android versions that support immersive mode, which newer androids don't (((

androplus wrote a magisk module that hides the status bar in MIUI. I'm not sure if it will work on other devices or not but it works on my Mix Fold 2. definitely worth trying. search the mix fold 2 forum for the link
I own OnePlus 7 Pro and I spent 2 months trying to find the solution. Status bar... I hate it too. So... it will be hit or miss for every app, but (for example Google photos is crashing with it) ... If your phone is rooted and you have installed Magisk:
Download and install LSPosed Framework modul (Zygisk version should be better)
In LSPosed Framework->Repository->Search->App Settings Reborn and enable it.
In App Settings Reborn choose any app you wanna tweak to eliminate Status Bar and then click on the wheel at bottom right corner. Now, you will have to go app after app to tweak it. Choose one and enable tweaking at left top corner. These three options are your new friends: auto hide fullscreen, no title and fullscreen.
Just don't be me... don't forget to stop app you are tweaking or it will not work immediately and don't forget to save the settings you chose by clicking on that floppy disk. And as I wrote earlier, some apps will behave weird and some will crash. Have fun.
