Its true that there is an option in Honeybar, but TBQH, I like the hide/unhide option to be dead center not to the right or left (so i dont have to hunt for it...)
Last time I checked, the autohide didnt work well for me...
Also, I think the only reason why the Superwipe isnt working, is this rom/kernel combo doesn't support EXT4... which is a boon if you ask me, a HUGE boon... (not a dev, just a thought...)
NFO: I have always used Superwipe with a 100% success rate on any other rom, even this one for the first few release's (still being lazy, haven't updated to the latest or even the last 3 release's...), ill give it a whirl when I get around to it and report my findings... but again, did it when coming to this rom and the 2 updates afterwards with no issues... so dunno whatsup...
