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

How to hide the combined Status Bar on ICS (root required!)​
I think many ppl are searching for a solution to hide the status bar on ICS, since the Hacks from Honeycomb doesnt work on ICS.
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.

sir i also tried it once but had same fate as your's
i think we can only have it only in custom roms like pac rom or aokp or cm

I tried even on stock based custom ROMs but no results...this can be done only on cm or pacman ROMs as u said.

I think I had to decompile SystemUI.apk and add/edit something like
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#FFRRBBGG</item>
then adding/editing the line in build.prop didn't cause FC and gave me nav bars.
I did this a long time ago I can't be sure that's all I did, but it was something along those lines. I'm sure there's a method available on xda to enable navbar on samsung 4.2.2 by now

We hv to write d above gvn lines at last in build.prop. ..?

Yes and the systemUI needs to be decompiled, edited and recompiled into an apk to stop the force closes on stock ROM with nav bar

I also tried many things on stock to enable navbar but no use.
I also watched a few videos on youtube and for them it was working on stock but i made the same changes in build.prop but every time the same error, dont know why.
So now i'm on CM11 and using navbar, I dont know what the problem is but i'm sure some devs will soon be able to solve this.

I came across this while browsing through XDA, Ultimate Dynamic NavBar
Since there is no available mod for stock ROMs for our device, it would be easier to rely on this App/Xposed module to enable Nav Bar in your phone. It also offers several customization options along with themeing the icons visible in your navbar.

I've used this one but the stock navbar is better coz it works well with the UI.
But i've seen a few videos, you can also check them out on youtube, the guy made changes in the stock rom in build.prop by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, restarted and voila he got the navbar. I just wanna know how?

That works most of the time, specially in AOSP ROMs, but unfortunately simply doing that in most new Samsung 4.2.2+ firmware causes SystemUI to crash.
From what I know, this happens because our SystemUI was not designed to support a NavBar so when the android system allots the lower space to the Navbar (after editing build.prop) the SystemUI tries to redraw over/with it and fails, causing a FC. Therefore, something like the line I mentioned in one of my earlier posts is required in the drawables of SystemUI.apk before Navbar can be used on stock.
"<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#FFRRBBGG</item>"
Fortunately for us, we now have Xposed, which enables us to edit system apks without actually modifying them. So in my opinion it's easier to simply make/use a mod for enabling this feature in SystemUI.apk rather than making a ROM-specific mod for enabling it.

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.

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.

Remove brithness slider

hi,
I've searched quite a bit on the forum and can't find anything that seems to do it. I know some custom rom have it in their System UI tuner but I prefer running stock.
Basically, I use Lux app for my brightness since I like having different profiles triggered by tasker. hence the brightness slider is redundant for me and takes up space when I never use it.
If anybody has an idea of a substratum theme or something like that that I can use on a rooted stock rom with magisk.
Thanks

Yeah i've seen your aroma but it seems that EdgeSense plus doesn't play well with your aroma.
I think I've read that it's because EdgeSense using magisk plugin replaces the systemui.apk at EACH boot to make sure the setting stick.
So I guess any mods won't be kept unless edgeSense changes their method?
EDIT: I think it's for the same reason 3minit wasn't working and is related to the answer you gave me on the other post. Is there a way to have your aroma as a module also or do you suggest me to change the way I manage my phone and doing it without modules?
