IMPORTANT:
The launcher icon does nothing useful! Don't open it if you read this! This app works through the use of a custom Quick Tile. Add the tile by opening the notification shade all the way, tapping the pencil or "EDIT," and dragging "Hide Notch" to the active area. Check the "Promo" video for a visual guide, or follow this link: https://youtu.be/HhH5wK1NokY

ALSO IMPORTANT:
Android prevents screen overlays from showing on the lockscreen, so this app will not and cannot work when the device is locked!

ZENFONE 5 USERS:
After installing, if the tile doesn't show up in your quick settings menu, reboot. This is a ZenUI bug!

Maybe you have a phone with a notch, maybe you don't. If you do, you might also be annoyed by having this black blob in the middle of a light-colored status bar most of the time.

If this description fits you, you probably want this app. Nacho Notch colors the status bar black while the device is in the portrait orientation, making it better fit with the notch (thereby "hiding" it).

Even if you don't have a notch, but still want a black status bar, you can use the app too. It dynamically finds the height of your statusbar, so you won't be dealing with too little or too much height, or finnicky manual sizing.

    Works sporadically. Every so often I have to open the app and turn the option to hide the notch off and on again. But it is good to have some way to hide the notch ever since the original setting was removed.

    Pretty cool app. It would be cooler if you had an option to use in landscape mode. I have a pixel 3a (no notch) but use it to get a black status bar.

    Really like this app on the Pixel 3 XL. I can only gove it 4 stars though, because when it's active, it prevents the back and home buttons on the bottom of the screen from changing color based on the background. That means on some apps, you have white buttons on a white background, which are nearly impossible to see. Fix that, and it's an easy 5 stars!

    The app works fine most of the time, but there are some weird issues. The buttons on the bottom of the screen turn the same color as the bottom navigation bar, making them very difficult to see, which is annoying but not a deal breaker. The bigger issues are with the top bar, the entire reason for this app's existence. The function will randomly stop working maybe once or twice a day, either going back to the stock notch appearance or completely blacking out everything, including notifications.

    Very nice but I'd like to see a little more development. A couple suggestions. This seems to lock navigation buttons to white which is fine with dark backgrounds or if you turn on the blackout nav bar option. Would like to see nav buttons go black on white backgrounds as they do when the app is not in use. Also, an option the hide the status bar icon would be nice. This can be done in system notification settings so it's not as important but would still be nice.

    Love this app, but lately on Android 10 on my Pixel 3 XL the app has stopped blocking out my notch sometimes. I toggle it off and on again, but the only solution that works is restarting my phone entirely. It'll work for maybe another day or so before it quits working again. EDIT: So this update still hasn't fixed the issue. Woke up this morning with my notch no longer hidden. Restarting the phone fixed the issue, but I can't say for how long. I restarted the day you responded to my review.

    Works well on Pixel 3 XL for the top notification area. I understand everything has to be painted white, including the bottom buttons, for this to work. Can the top and bottom use something like 80% transparency? As an additional option. That way we could still see the bottom nav without making the background black. And 80% is probably bright enough to view the top area. Just a thought. Nice work on the app.

    Works very well, and is smart about disappearing in landscape. Only issue is that it doesn't work with light navigation bars. On apps with a light navigation bar the nav buttons don't turn dark as they should, making them hard to see. The app does allow you to force a dark nav bar at all times, but I would prefer not to have to resort to that. If this gets fixed, it's an easy 5 stars

    I love the functionality of this app compared to the developer option to hide the notch on the Google Pixel 3 XL. Keeping the notification icons where they are is exactly how this feature should work. My only quibble is the fact it doesn't work on the lock screen. I can live with that, but is that being worked on as an added feature?

    9/13 update - Upgraded to Android 10 and this app is now useless. Developer options now have the features baked in, so, uninstalled. Old 3 star review: Usually it's great. But oftentimes I have to toggle it off and then back on. Not sure if this is an android issue or the app. Would be nice if it were more of a set it and forget it thing. But it's not. Oh, and I read the "terms".
