Softkeys with Android 5.0 + Status bar in lockscreen

[nekrox]

Hi

is there a chance to hide the softkeys with android 5.0 like in android 4.4?

otherwise the display is very small...

and another problem is that i dont get the whatsapp icon if i receive a message in the status bar if im in the lockscreen

That will be up to the app developer to add this "immersive mode", are you referring to a particular app or game?

[nekrox]

candy crush saga for example 
but yes in some games the softkeys disappear

but the problem with the statusbar is still unsolved

its a bit annoying if you always have to unlock the screen to check if someone sent you a message
