[MOD][ROOT][ICS]Hide Status Bar (updated 11.02.)

Note that this is really a "Hack" since it forces Android to stop a services that is flagged as "important".
As usual, you are solely responsible if you brick your device!!! Install this Hack at your own risk!!!

I would like to try this but I don't wanna be the guinea pig.

There's nothing super risky in changing the services.jar.
Make a backup of yours and you can push it back with ADB if you got a bootloop.

Nice, and thanks.
Wish there was a way to incorporate this into my app without needing the external jar file to be replaced (like it is in HC).
I have an app on Market that is a Kiosk browser app, but currently only for Honeycomb. It'd be sweet if it could work for ICS as well

I don't think there is a way to do it without a "special" version of the jar (policy or services)
In HoneyComb you could hide the bar, but with ICS Google remove that option, now the bar is "enforced" due the soft buttons and notification stuff.

new version online. see first post!
thx dabidu

Maybe this could go to the development section.
I add the .diff file with all the required changes on the source code to get the toggle the bar on and off, so anyone building a new rom from souce could implement this "feature"

Its included in the zip file linked in the first post

I try this on eos 68. Its working with a big BUT.
No way to trigger the status bar back in application. Rotate the screen didnt work either.
Most of apps on market do not have exit button. So i can only use restart using log press power button.
I hope you could add the toggle setting on log press power button. That will do the jobs.

Thread Moved.

I understand about how to use. But if you could change the setting apk to include in display setting menu. Why not add it to the long press power button menu where the shutdown, reboot recovery and soo on.
It would become easy to use without need extra swipe application.
Just advice. No need to angry.
Nb: when using mxvideoplayer playing movies. Cannot toggle the status bar. But dice player just fine.

Amazing mod, you dont even need swipe pad. Thanks man.
You can just change back and forth from settings, sometimes after you select the bar again, it wont show, make a rotation and it will show again.

That would be a feature for a custom rom. Just request the dev of your favorite custom rom to included this mod

There is no way to return to home screen from most applications so the only way to exit is to reboot - bunk. Uninstalled.

[Q] Gapps problems.

Hello!
I got a new D855, I flashed lastest PA and stock Google apps, I downloaded few other Google apps ( such as keyboard ) and converted them to system apps.
I tried using the Google keyboard but it always crashes.
The dialer had a problem and got frozen.
I just can't use the phone like that.
Any fix to this problems?

I think you misunderstood me. Uninstall the keyboard and reinstall it. Then DON'T convert it to system app and try. I mean why would you need the keyboard to be a system app?

It works fine when it is user app.
But I like to be close to stock AOSP.
Is it possible ? or should It stays like that.
Btw, I heard something about downgrading the G3 resulotion, is it really possible ?

Well then don't make it a system app. There is, as far as I can tell, no benefits for your camera being a system app.
I think you read about downgrading the resolution on this thread? Imho it makes no sense to do so, cause the screen still has to show all the pixels and the battery you save from the cpu/gpu not processing some of the pixels is minimal. You could try and disable the sharpening software from LG with this flashable script. On my phone the display quality improved significantly!

One last question (I hope xP), I'm running PA and today I flashed the update, the update brought back the few apps came with the rom that I deleted, Is it any way to avoid that?

You're very welcome You could edit the .zip file and delete the apps manually that you don't want to have. But you would need to do it every time before you flash an update and I think that's definitely not worth the effort

Disabling the stock clock/weather screen on the KLD

Hello,
I have a KLD unit and I'm wondering is there any way - besides installing Android from another manufacturer - to get rid of the first screen that's blocked with the clock/weather widget (or should I say - app?)
I would like to delete the widget/app and free up the screen. The weather widget is terrible, doesn't even want to work properly under either 3G or WiFi. I have no use for it.

You should be able to root by using the *#hct#root# password when entering factory settings, install supersu and then update the binary the normal way and reboot = rooted stock firmware no flashing involved.

OK, thanks. So basically, without rooting, there is NO WAY in KLD software to get rid of that screen, right?

If you want to use that launcher then no, you can use other launchers without rooting tho.

Change the launcher. Lots to choose from

Can you suggest any, instead of just saying change the Launcher?

I use car launcher. Others use nova or next.
It's so easy to do that you could try out any with high ratings till you find one you like.

I agree with the other answeres.
Just root the device with the password *#hct#root#
After that the device will show a dialog if any app needs root access.
You will also find a new Superuser menu in settings menu.
For my device I am currently running the Next 3D launcher (it is not for free on Google Store)
But it looks really awesome with lots of effects / transitions / icons and so on that can be downloaded for free.
Starting to play around with your device you might also want to check out apps that help with memory management like APP2SD or Android Toolkit.
For advanced modding have a look at ROMS from Malaysk (new firmware) - then you will be able to do more or less everything with your device.
Have fun
André

Hi! I would like to keep original launcher but without stock clock and weather! What should I do when I install supersu??? Can you explain in more detail (P.S. I have rooted and updated my device MCU 2.64 KLD) Thanks!

Just install Nova launcher - that doesn't even require root.
Fully customisable and much quicker and lighter than the stock launchers.

I second this. Nova Launcher works great. I use the stock clock widget and a weather widget from 1Weather and it suits my needs.

The solution in my case was just to install a Malaysk ROM and be done with it.
Once you do that, you can select which launcher you use. You can use the NEXT launcher instead which is more versatile and then do the things you want with it.

On-screen Allow/grand/install buttons not working

First of all i would like to wish everyone here on XDA merry Christmas and happy holidays and a huuuge thank for your help.
So recently i decided i wanter all my notifications to be displayed in Paranoid Androids Halo mode i achieve that by installing the following 2 apps
Unique Controls
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.halo
XHFW3 - floating windows - ver. 3.19 beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xhfw3-floating-windows-t3371074
everything works fine, however i noticed that the (allow, install or grand on-screen buttons) dont work, whilst the cancel button works fine... e.g when installing an app i cant touch install but i can touch cancel or grans SuperSU access
i am currently running the stock OxygenOS 3.2.8
rooter with xposed installed.
p.s if i kill the Unique Controls (halo) app everything works as supposed to.
does anyone know any workaround this or a fix, i have uninstalled this 2 apps for the time beeing but i would really love to make this happen.

If you're on MM and have xposed, there is a module called NoScreenOverlay. This is exactly what you need. Check it out. Cheers.

You're right sorry, i forgot to mention i'm on MM.
I couldn't find the NoScreenOverlay module, i did however found a NoOverlayWarning Xposed module which helped i can istall apps and allow buttons work. However for some reason the SuperSU popup (deny/grand/check to ask again) dont work.

Cool, Thank you sharing.
Does it need to be activated?
Doesn't seem to allow data and cache clearing or am I mistaken?
Appears to be compatible with Pie as well.
The data blocking is a nice feature.
A backup PD is always good to have as time has proven:laugh:

Makes sense that all apps wouldn't be visible on Android 11 for this particular phone.
Something slightly separate, but I had an Android 11 Pixel 3XL over a year ago, and the file managers still worked normally. On this phone, however, since upgrading to the Android 11 Beta, the file managers (I've already tried three different ones) don't work at all when you go to the non-root required drive section that stores your non-system applications (stuff you got from the Play Store). It just shows that every single folder aside from the download folder is empty now on every file manager... So something is most definitely wrong with their current hard drive storage/access on Android 11 - and that could also possibly be why certain apps aren't showing up in the package disabler.
By the way, we have Android 11 Beta4 dropping on this Tuesday (12AM EST), so the official release will probably be around Christmas time (exactly four weeks after beta 4 releases). So we'll see if either of these updates fix this goofy issue.

Tried installing it on my 10+ running on Pie.
Install ok but it wanted a login created to do -anything-
So I did but it was glitchy. Even after I created an account it didn't want to login.
Grrrrr...
I have a working PD so for now I don't need to muck with this...
Got tired of saying kind, nurturing things to it, and kicked it out:laugh:

On Beta, it works amazingly. But it is missing a few system apps like calculator and such but im guessing thats because of beta. Otherwise amazing.

This app is amazing
Just disabled over 50 useless system apps
My phone is flying now ? ?
Everything is way faster even fingerprints and face unlock
Thanks soo much
