    The bottom black bar is an Android thing. It disappears for me when I'm in game.

    Not sure that you can because you need it to navigate your phone. Not sure if there is a way to hide/show as necessary though. You would be stuck in GTA if you couldn't use those buttons , because I don't recall games having an exit option. The price of having no physical buttons on an OS that doesn't support swipe navigation unfortunately.

    I think it's a developer thing, Sony HTC etc.. the bar goes and you can pull it back by swiping down from the top

    It depends on what the game was formatted for, and what the dev intended. Also, older games that haven't been updated in a while might also display them due to the fact that older Android devices had physical hardware keys for those buttons. So, if it appears, you can't do anything about it, and it's expected behaviour.

    Edit to add: well, you could send emails complaining about it to the dev, but I wouldn't hold my breath over it

    Yup some apps it disappears to get it back you swipe from the top and it appears with the notification bar also. But I've noticed not all apps support it sadly.

    On BB10 with an older Android, there was generally an option to Hide the bar. But, I don't see such an option.

    That was just a BB10 thing because the apps weren't really formatted for proper navigation on BB10.

    If you want to remove the bottom black bar (and upper status bar) completely (i.e., make it transparent), you'll need to use a third party launcher with these options. Nova Launcher and Action Launcher are among the most popular in the Android world.
