Could you share the solution please. Thanks.

With the current Onyx software, the battery life even on my M96 sometimes takes a dive with no apparent reason. At times like these when a change brings about battery savings, although its a placebo effect, for the user, its a revelation. Even I have been guilty of such ill-informed beliefs from time to time.

Could you share that app please. Thanks.

Does it actually work? Does it also restore the status bar correctly as well?
Yes the 'full!screen' app works flawlessly. It even provides two touch areas at bottom left & right (in portrait mode), the actions of which you can customize. Working good, still, would be nice to use another approach - yours & Onyx's.
