Full screen for tablets!
Hide the systembar and use your tablet in fullscreen-mode without losing systembars main functions: navigation options and notifications .


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ please note: This app requires root!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This app is a light-weight replacement/companion for the default systembar on tablets.
It can disable the bottom systembar on most tablets running Android 3 or Android 4.
Now you can use the full screen for your own apps without wasting space for the bottom bar.

» Play games,
» Watch videos,
» Surf the web,
» Read your mails...
››› everything fullscreen and without losing the main functions of the systembar:
Go back, Go to Homescreen, switch between recently used apps, access notifications...

The provided replacement buttons can be configured in function, visibility, position and size. Following actions can be assigned to any button:
• Go back: Navigate back within apps.
• Go to homescreen: Shortcut to directly go to homescreen.
• Show recent apps: Quickly switch between recently used apps.
• Show notifications: Display a panel with notifications.
• Restore systembar: An action to quickly restore systembar.
• Open apps menu: Easy access even to menu of older apps.
• Pie-Menu: Opens a configurable pie-menu.







issues and limitations:

- only for devices running Android 4.x or below, does not work on Android 5+

- in case you experience problems after reboot like notifications not working or not able to autostart:
Please upgrade/change your SuperUser-Manager and use it to upgrade/install latest su-binary!

- There are limitations with phone devices. You might lose ability to accept incoming calls or receive SMS in fullscreen mode. Please make sure to test this before using full!screen.

- On devices with split systembar (notifications on top and navigation on bottom) it is not possible to just hide navigationbar. This unfortunately is a system-limitation and no workaround possible.

What are users saying about full!screen

X70%
by X####:

Works well for the most part but a bug prevents the pie menu from opening if the screen orientation is changed while in full screen mode. Also, the pie menu is somewhat difficult to use because there is no visual feedback as it opens and while it's open your finger covers the icons. It's a great app but fixing these couple issues would greatly improve the usability.

Really improves screen real estate on longer tablet. 2 functions I would like added : 1) screenshot added as action. I have a tablet with no button combo for this. So it was handled by system bar. 2) swipe gestures from top middle, sides etc without adding a visible button. This would add lots of functionality without cluttering the view.

This is a wonderful tool, thank you. BTW, if you use the 4.2 split bar (activated with the LauncherSwitchSettingsActivity activity) on the ASUS TF700T, this app will hide both the Notification and System bars. I'm getting the Pro version, not so much that I need it, but I think the developer should be supported.

I love this app, it's great except for one thing. On my LG G2 when ever I have fullscreen turned on, my notification sounds don't work. If I reboot they work for a bit and then stops. Great other thank that, woulda been 5 stars otherwise. Good job all in all.

U70%
by U####:

Have been looking for this a long time. Suggestions for improvement: Would be great to be able to access app drawer directly as well. Also, recent app list is slow to display. Finally, notifications do no work 100%; some don't show up, some remain stuck. Keep up the good work, thanks! Update: no Kitkat-support :-(

I am absolutely amazed at the customizations this app can do. It does more customization than custom roms, except you do not need a custom rom. This app has changed the way I use android on my nexus 7. The full screen makes a HUGE difference to a 7" screen. It is easy and quick to switch between full and normal screens. There are only 2 things on my wish list for this app, a 'kill app' and 'screen off' features would be great but not essential. This app is truly revolutionary. Thanks so much I will now get fullscreen+.

Been having a problem with my home button closing all background apps. Used this to ignore some apps and only close the rest. Would love to see a 'close all apps' option that ignore the blacklist. Also to be able to move buttons around to more than just a few places. Then you for a great app though.

L70%
by L####:

Works as described. Only thing is the status bar is permanently hidden unless you turn off the app. Would have been nice to have an option to temporarily hide stays bar at the top and would show again on swipe, kind of like hidden Object dock functionality. Overall, a quite decent app

F70%
by F####:

Really love this app, nothing could compare with this app. But i just want to hide navigation bar, not my status bar. I would give it 5 stars and buy pro version for that option. And sometimes long click buton doesnt work.

U70%
by U####:

My set up is simple. I use swipe in top right corner to disable; BUT THEN i discovered the ON / OFF WIDGET. Very simple. ♡. There is no conflict with any of the 200 or so apps I presently employ on my device ( they all get used at some point ). The ONLY issue I encountered is when RECEIVING a call. The call screen is not displayed when Full!screen is enabled. The widget, however, disables it in plenty of time to take the call by the second ring ( if you happen to be OCD ). nick

I really like this app but I wish I could still keep the navigation bar at the top. It also messes up my wife's profile if I don't disable it before she switches to her profile. Wallpapers on the home screen show a black bar at the bottom too

A great tool that allows you to properly use the entire screen of your device 99 percent of the time The new pie chart is real handy... Swiping in from the screen edges reveals the menu.... You can also open apps with the menu and such like Great tool

I originally installed this to lock my cat into his games so he won't keep hitting the soft menus and it works amazingly well and super easy to setup. I tried so many different ways to do this before I found this app, including entire ROMs, launchers and other programs that just failed or were ridiculously complicated to set up. I can't even offer suggestions for improvements, its just a perfect app.

U70%
by U####:

Doesn't work at all on my Nexus 4 Lollipop. Wipes out all the icons and buttons leaving you only with the wallpaper. I strongly recommend not choosing the "enable on startup" option with this app until you've confirmed it works as it's supposed to. It could just brick your phone.

N70%
by N####:

Do doesn't seem to work anymore after upgrade Note 3 To Kitkat 4.4.2 ;( It crashes when closing with non stop errors.. solution- reboot without FullScreen enabled. Is this not fixed yet? Update: for those of you who are using Note 3 and are rooted. You can get full screen using Xpose framework and using Immerse Me module.

I love this! (Shouting)... I was about to flash another rom then bam, I saw this app moments before. Now I can enjoy my favorite rom. Tanks a lot! T90

I only want to hide my navigation bar. But i don't want my statusbar disappear. Anyway, this app does not hide the statusbar correctly. Still leaving empty box on the header of the screen.

Use it on my nexus 7 and this adds about an inch to the total screen size! Only issue I've encountered is when moving apps to or from the dock on the main screen it seems to bug and the apps icon becomes suspended in the air...

Cannot get the pie menu to work with my rooted Galaxy S3. The setting opens, but does not offer option of adding apps. Could use a HELP option that troubleshoots. Maybe user error? Good, useful app otherwise.

When I press them a notification comes up saying "super user has been granted". Nexus 7 2013. I know it cannot hide the nav bar on split screens so I use another app for that.

I70%
by I####:

I updated my Nexus 7 to Android 4.4, and the system bar is always visible... needless to say, this app isn't useful any more, and it's a pity!

overall is a good app but cant auto boot even i have tick auto start. Hope they can solve this real soon.

by U####:

Great tool! have on all my devices now. Will author update notification on 4.4? current accessibility a little unstable on KitKat some occurrences. If able to add more softbuttons at more places, this app could be also a great launcher tool

U70%
by U####:

Love it! No adds on my phone, perfect full screen for apps that won't! Doesn't interfere with any other app or give me notices. One problem, the push notify shows up for a power draining app. You can hide the push notice but then you lose functionality. It doesn't drain much (4%) and still gets 5 stars because the problem is not this app!

I should say somany thanks to the developer coz it solved my full screen gaming problem of Xperia Z. now I can play full screen games without doing some Rom modifications. best app for full screen, works great.

Can you add the ability to only hide the softkeys. I already toggle my status bar with nova and when I run this I cannot open up my status bar. This is the one inconvenience for me but I like this app over the other softkey ones.

Tried everything on samsungs now abandonded original note 10.1. The nav bar was so ugly it made want to cry and i kept hitting the muti window while trying to place the spacebar. Thank you man. Really

U70%
by U####:

couldn't solve the purpose on my new phone. hides the system bar as advertised but does not fill up the space created. it isn't truly a full screen anymore. a bug maybe?

T70%
by T####:

This is exactly what I was looking for.... Kind of, see I use another app called swipe status bar to hide my status bar when am in my home screen and it reappears when am in an app but this disables de status bar along with the soft keys, I don't think it should o that or St least give us the option to choose wich to hide. I was about to buy the a when I found this issue. Still thanks a lot for a nice app

Doesn't work on Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.1.1 After enabling it, the whole screen goes blank and just shows the background picture.

I bet it does a good job at what it does, but it just doesn't work on Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen)

T70%

I gave it 4 stars because it worked in kitkat. In lollipop it just show the wallpaper and no access. This seems to be a problem with all fullscreen apps. I really need this app I need to lock down the tablet.

G70%

on my xperia z c6606 it cuts off the bottom of my keyboard making only a sliver of the button is visible. please fix. need space key O.O

F70%
by F####:

Its unfortunate that I loose the multitask buttons on s5. I appreciate this was designed for tablet but surely this can be optimised for phones. This is a app I really wanted but it doesn't work on the bottom of the screen due to not being able to use the full keyboard due to the new added buttons. Its not conviniant to have them at the top as its a stretch. Uninstalled unfortunately

O70%
by O####:

I really love it, it has a nice look to the app the xontrols are nice. Except for the notification part. Evethough I clear the notifications, it wont be cleared from the system. Meaning that if u exit full screen mode, the same notifications that I thought I cleared were actually still hanging around. Can you guys fix that pls, thanks. Also the notificatins tab thing. It will sgow me the time, date, whether im connected to wifi or not and battery percentage. Can you guys also improve it to show signal bars.

Recent app list does not work properly. When you touch an item on the list, the app is selected only if you hit a small area of the item. Other than that, it rocks!
