Getting rid of the settings menus at the top of the screen?

Hey guys,

Retro arch is the only emulator I can get working on my phone. For some reason jailbreaking with Pengu made my phone unable to run Provenance when it was working fine in iOS 8.1 before. I wanna play GBA/GBC games and they work okay in RetroArch, but the settings buttons at the top of the screen are really annoying.

Is there a way to get rid of them?

It hasn’t been updated to support iOS 8.1 nor the newer iphones
