Okay so I rooted my phone and have been having some fun with the pm disable <package name> command. I am wondering whether there is anyway to hide applications from the drawer but not completely disable them.
I have access to these apps on the home screen and don't need them taking up space on the drawer. Obviously this isn't that important, but I can appreciate good design and maybe this is possible (without a home replacement app!)?
Any help is appreciated
On some Roms you can hide these icons by opening the app drawer, long pressing on the icon you want to hide, dragging it onto the desktop (but dont remove your finger) and then when the app drawer closes, drag the icon to the trash.
Not all ROMs allow this but some do.

What you're referring to is the advanced launcher here is the link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540880
I think what the poster wanted was a stand alone way to do this without having to rely on one particular ROM or having to use any particular launcher/home replacement.

Advanced launcher is just an advanced version of the current home though. You would be able to use it and not even know that it's not the default launcher, it works exactly the same, looks exactly the same and behaves the same bar a few added features like folders in the drawer, hiding applications and setting the number of homescreens.
This thread is pretty old, but I can't find an answer to this question anywhere else. Is there any way to hide apps in the drawer? I have a rooted evo with sense. There must be a way someone has found by now!
Only way I know of is an alternate launcher. I use Launcher Pro and that allows hiding icons.

I want to do this too
it can be done from root explorer renaming app.apk to app.bak
but some will not work
Well there is this app and it seems to work as described with a ton of bonus features... Just make sure to restart you phone after hiding the apps to make it work.

Er. No it doesn't - it just hides files
Actually it does remove files and i just used it. After long pressing the "audio manager" logo it comes to menu with one icon being "hide apps". Click and select what to hide.

Moving to Q&A
Those of us who have had our TrueSmart have learned that while this thing is crazy cool, there are a few quirks that need to be worked out.
For example, the YouTube app's Full Screen. The TrueSmart has a square, not rectangle wide screen, so the Full Screen wouldn't be quite full.
With the Xposed Framework Installed, you can install a Mod called "App Settings" and find the YouTube app, then you can make DPI (resolution) changes and click "Force Orientation > Portrait Mode". Now when using YouTube, expanding to full screen will allow for a more 'dedicated viewing experience'.
There are some apps (found in the Play Store) that you can't access without accepting the ToS (Terms of Service), and the "accept" and "decline" buttons are below the screen. In this case, you'd need to change the DPI, and possibly more settings. I even also had the same SuperSU issues that quite a lot of us had: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656146 There are quite a few ways to fix the spillage.
Also, simply because I feel like saying something, why don't we have subsections for General, Q&A, Accessories, Development and such? meh :/

Thanks. If you want to make you post a [Guide] I'll add it to the Everything sticky.
Except for the rotation issue, qemu.sf.lcd_density=115 added to the build.prop also resolves the "fit" issue on almost every app as well and is the reason why I'm adding it back to the patch for all x201s.

I'll consider turning it into a guide. Friendly tip: It may have been a mistake but please try not to quote the entire long post, it takes up extra unneeded room, a @deedscreen mention in reply or partial quote works just fine. It can make things a bit hectic. (Ex: you have a long development thread and someone quotes the long post to say "this is cool".) Nevertheless, the guide is a good idea - now if we can only figure out how to get the status bar to always show when using -say- Nova launcher. My attempts haven't gone the greatest so far. :cyclops:
Hi Loki
Don't you just love when guys learns developers how to quote OP...
BTW - request is already sent to moderators for sections inside of Omate section.

It was before my first cup of coffee so blame it on the lack of caffeine.
The solution I've been using is Swipe Statusbar. It's not ideal but does free up the space a consistent status bar would use. A permanent status bar fix is going to most likely require the framework and related files be gone through and redone as they use a show intent versus a hide intent from what I've been told.
I do use my ppi edit and Force Orientation on my daily device. Hopefully I can make the need for the orientation lock unnecessary and have it active at all times for all apps. That would cover the majority of users and apps used and can't remember the last time I wanted an app to rotate on the x201.
I know what you mean, with that app I've tried and it covers some areas of apps and drives me insane, I can't quite win...
Hey guys,
I haven't done Android dev in a long time, but I'd be very interested in starting again just to figure out how to make all (or at least a few of the major) apps work in dual screen stretched mode like Chrome does. I'll have the phone by tomorrow, but does anyone know where to even begin looking into something like this?
If we can figure out how to make it happen, I'll gladly start modifying apps and share them so that they can be stretched across the dual screen. I'm sure it's just a flag in the App Manifest or something very straight forward like that.
Any devs with any pointers?
Here's the contents of my app Manifest of chrome on my Note 10+.
https://pastebin.com/14nWYsD1
Can anyone please paste the manifest from their G8x?
If you have Solid Explorer, on the left slide out tab, tap on Applications, then in System Apps find Chrome. Inside there's a button on top that says "Browse". Just tap that and the manifest file should be in the root folder (first thing you see).
Could someone please paste their Chrome manifest file from there?
Thanks!
For example, in the Samsung one there's a few tags like this to enable Samsung (and Note) specific features within Chrome:
Code:
<meta-data
name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.enable" value="true">
</meta-data>
<meta-data
name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.penwindow enable" value="true">
</meta-data>
If we can find something like this for the LG sdk, we can enable split screen mode in any app we want.
I will extract my own Chrome app manifest tomorrow, but I won't be able to modify an existing apps until Monday or so. .
For completeness sake, and for anyone else who wants to follow along, here's the manifest from the LG G8X Chrome app:
https://pastebin.com/cz3zLrXq
Todo: find something LG Specific in the new manifest, copy it over to manifest files of other apps and see if it works. Unfortunately this is going to take me a while since I don't have my PC this weekend. More to come this coming week!
Update: looks like both versions are the same. Which means the info is not in the manifest file. I'm not sure where else it would be...
Will keep looking this weekend...
So it looks like I'm using this thread as a progress marker.
I found an app called "second launcher". Trying to see if this is a lead or a dead end.
For those interested, here's the manifest file:
https://pastebin.com/YgyLUgJn
This might be of particular interest...
Code:
<provider android:name="com.lge.secondlauncher.allapps.AllAppsDBProvider"
android:readPermission="com.lge.secondlauncher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"
android:writePermission="com.lge.secondlauncher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"
android:exported="true"
android:authorities="com.lge.secondlauncher.AllAppsDBProvider">
</provider>
Thanks for this, man. I'm shocked only chrome and whale use wide view.
You probably already know this, but:
The second launcher is the home for the left screen. I'm using Nova Launcher right now and it only affects the right screen. The left is still using Second Launcher
Hey, yeah I gathered as much. I'm trying to see if there's a list or something in this app that is basically an allow list.
What I found interesting is that on apps that are allowed to stretch, when they do stretch across both screens, it affects everything not just that app. The keyboard, notification shade, task bar, etc etc. This capability exists, and there's just one place where there's an allow list somewhere. I just have to find it...
Including when taking screenshots.
All I did between these two screen caps, is press the wide view button. I took the screenshots from the hardware buttons so it's a system wide recognition of the new "wide" state...
I just learned a couple things:
1. Wide view is definitely just a resizing of the screen/elements. If you have wide view on and you're asked for a fingerprint, the whole thing breaks. The fingerprint symbol is in between the two screens and you have to tap it to enable the scanner on the main screen. I.e. you need 2 fingers to use it. (Screenshot below).
2. I found LG development site with a guide on how to enable widescreen view in apps. It seems a bit incomplete, but I'm looking into it.
3. Wide screen works in 2 different modes: 1) the entire Android interface stretches across both screens, the break in the middle is not handled and it's a bit wonky. 2) The app knows there's 2 screens and behaves accordingly. Only certain activities are opened on the second screen and there's information exchange (i.e. gallery app/camera app).
This second more seems a bit more involved/complicated. The first mode just tells Android that the two screens are just one big screen, feel free to stretch across. This is the one I will focus on for now. Maybe if I get time, I can make apps behave across both screens.
What this means: you probably won't see an app which shows independent "panes" like Gmail across both screens, or an e-reader with pages across both screen, unless they are specifically coded by the original developers. A lucky break could be if the app is coded as such, and could somehow be convinced that the doi is changing or it is now in landscape mode. Then it could switch to it's different configuration.
Anyway, let's see what I can uncover. Maybe on Monday I will dust of my old laptop, and try to get the LG dual screen demo app working. Once it does, I can try to extract and modify currently installed apps.

2. Where did you find the guidance? All I know is the old dualscreen api sdk with no wide mode
Have you tried force all apps resizeable & secondary display option in developer menu?
I also think there is some kind of lists for dual screen wide mode supported apps. Just like the lists of some apps to access certain features (auxillary PentaCamera, multi window etc)
Have you tried to launch QSlide on wide view mode? There's a developer kit to launch some apps using qslide

Lg has a link to their LG Dual Screen SDK on thier site. Looks like a great start
EDIT: It also looks like the system uses Googles Foldable screen API 29 even though my phone is only running Android 9. I assume this means that the device needs to have the "resizeableActivity=true" in order for the Wide View button to appear. I am looking through Whale and Chrome now to see if that is indeed the case and if an older version of either without this snjipped of code supports wide screen
Looks like it's probably "com.naver.WhaleMediaStandaloneDualFullScreenActivity" where things get interesting... Looking through chrome now
Within the manifest of Chrome:
Code:
<activity theme="@7F14024B" name="org.chromium.chrome.browser.media.PictureInPictureActivity" exported="false"
excludeFromRecents="true"
configChanges="0x00000D80" noHistory="true"
resizeableActivity="true"
supportsPictureInPicture="true">
</activity>
Final edit: AAAANNNDD here's the manifest for whale:
Code:
<activity android:theme="@7F140101" android:name="com.naver.whale.dualscreen.DualScreenTabActivity" android:exported="false" android:taskAffinity="com.naver.whale.dualscreen" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:configChanges="0x00001FB3" android:windowSoftInputMode="0x00000010" android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
[COLOR="red"]android:resizeableActivity="true"[/COLOR]
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.naver.whale.dualtab">
</action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE">
</category>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
So I'm pretty sure this is the puzzle piece we need. If we can root the device, we can force this activity any app an force full screen.
Though, Gmail has this and it does not do any sort of multi screen view for me... Hmm...
Yes! Thank you!
This is what I saw earlier as well, that it says it used the Google foldable APIs but did they back port it? I assumed (like most Android manufacturers I e. Samsung) that they just developed their own thing, so I was surprised to see them mention Android foldables.
Do you think all it needs is the resizable activity true in the manifest? If that's the case, I'm going to try it on some of my apps and see what happens!
Will report back later tonight!
I don't know for sure if it's the only thing, but Google's Dev notes on foldables mention this specifically, good luck!
I may mess with something here or there myself, this dual screen thing has a ton of potential
Yeah so I don't think that's it. I checked GMail and also checked Google Maps. Both of those have this in their main activity but neither of them support it. It may be PART of the puzzle, but it's definitely not the missing piece. Will keep looking further.
So I found something that bothers me a bit....

Thank you for your interest in LG Dual Screen.
Unfortunately, 3rd party apps can't use the APIs. Because those APIs can use only LG System App.

God, I really hope that's not true. So far it seems to be. Since Chrome/Whale browser, etc. are system apps.... Google Maps is not, so it can't... same with GMail…. honestly if this is true, I might return this phone. This is huge for me....
Ignore that, I think this is only valid for those specific APIs that the person in the forum referred to... please ignore my comments, carry on...
I was able to have the device spit out information about the two displays that are available. The second display definitely comes up as an HDMI display. I think I have a lead on how to get full screen apps to show up. More to come.

Some Korean apps (not system apps) can use dual screen perfectly. So it's not true. I believe it's like how LG older Multi-Window feature works, there are some lists of packages names for supported apps. There's also a way to build the code inside an app

Just tried it, unfortunately it shuts down wide screen moose and opens Gmail on the main screen only
Also, have those apps a shot. You can do some dual screen settings, but nothing like one large screen. Maybe I didn't go through enough settings, but I couldn't get the second screen to play nice

Tried both. Neither of them saw the second screen until it was pushed over to the second screen, then I had to re-enable settings and permissions. They basically just behave like two independent devices... it's very odd.

Yup, I've enabled the setting, enabled the flag in ADB, nothing happens. Gmail or Maps just instantly close down wide view and open up on one screen.

DOT KILLER MODULE for pocof1 (may work on other devices)
By @Jaiii
What it does?
It makes device behave as a notchless phone,
So you won't get to see the dot (on both right and left) sometimes dot appears even when we have some space left, so this module will fix it.
Extra Icons will obviously be hidden under notch (extra notif icons will be visible in screenshots)
There are several similar modules already.
But this works with all roms I tested till now, also works perfectly with and without dual status bar and no issues with landscape.
Tested on both Android 10 and 11
Please report any issue in this thread, it'll be sent to the dev team. (As xda policies dont allow to give telegram link).
How to use?
You can flash zip in twrp or you can use magisk module.
Note: After flashing, to enable dotkill go to developers options (or display settings in some roms) and find display cutout and set it as hide.
:good:
Here is the download link
Much needed thanks!!

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...

forum.xda-developers.com
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.
