[Q] Completely remove the status bar? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm planing on removing the soft buttons and notifications bar (status bar). I have moved the soft buttons to the notifications bar. Now all I need to do is remove the status bar. Has anyone had any luck removing it entirely. I'm running urukdroid and have ubuntu if that helps.
Thanks

i dont understand, why do you want that?

I'll just use button savior. I was just poking around in a few files and I may have found how to remove the vertical soft buttons.
Edit: It'll work when I find out how to zip back up the edited apk file.

Just rezip with 0 compression and rename to apk. If you edited XMLs or Patch 9's, you need to recompile and make sure it makes a new resources.arsc.

you require widgetsoid for this..
widgetsoid's notification direct multitouch toggle power widget does not work on the atrix. I tried it and also tried "notification toggle" too. Same thing, instead of toggling directly from the pull down, it opens up another box on the home screen that u have to select. Ive been trying to find an answer as to why it wont work and I keep getting that "your system might not support, "multiclick notification". I dont know. Anyone wiser have any insight?

Power Control Plus will add a customizable power control widget to your notification bar no mods needed.
Moved .
When your using notification widget when you drag your menu down are you able to have for example 4 toggles in one single row and each control them directly by clicking on each one? Whenever I do this and try clicking on a toggle it just opens up another box in the home screen and then I can toggle from there. It does not directly toggle from my one line of 4 toggles . This is the same issue with widgetsoid too. I have tried this stock and rooted and with all combinations of Ginger blur and gladattix. Still the same issue .

Hello, I was wondering if is there any way to make the Menu key (The one placed at the right of the home key) to work as the musltitask key on the nexus phone, I had installed a mod that enables the menu panel on the screen as in the nexus, so my phisycal key is useless and I want to map it as the multitask key , I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, if you don't please let me know

First of all, what mod did you install? I want one too. Lol.
As for your menu key, if get any root file manager and go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and examine the .kl files there. As for me, mine is located at cyttsp_key.kl. You should see something like
Code:
# KEY_MENU, KEY_BACK, KEY_HOME
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
Simply replace MENU with APP_SWITCH and you should be all set. I'm not sure if spacing is important but keep a backup of the original file first before modifying it just in case.

- Fast Bluetooth turning On/Off
- Volume slider is moved to bottom (will make you easier to slide it with your finger)

Remove Nav Bar Permanently

At Your Own Risk!!! I Am Not Responsible For Anything You Do To Your Device
So if you are like me you're tired of looking at the gaudy version of a nav bar and soft keys that amazon has come up with. So I started looking around for a way to modify the soft keys to look more like stock android. I may at some point dive into the framework and rewrite portions to do this, but in my search I came across an old method for removing the nav bar altogether. It is a very simple build.prop edit and at the same time adds some screen real-estate. I've confirmed this does work on this device, check out the screenshots below.
How to(rooted device):
1- You will first need a soft key/nav buttons app(once this is done the stock keys will be gone, and kinda hard to navigate without some). I like using Button Savior, it allows you to place the soft keys anywhere around the perimeter of the screen, and has multiple themes you can use. Also if you have the paid version you can change the number and position of buttons
2- Using a file manager navigate to /system/build.prop file
3- Open build.prop with a text editor, scroll to the end and on a new line enter:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
4- Save and reboot.
Now there are ways to do this with launchers but it will not be permanently removed and will still show up in apps.
To get stock keys back just delete the line you entered in the build.prop and reboot

Hello
Just wanted to say thanks for the above info. It all works great and the extra room on the screen is appreciated. By the way, I am using CM 10 rom on my RAZR M, and it works great there as well. Doesn't work perfectly on the stock RAZR M, although both soft keys and header info (3G/4G-signal strength, etc).are removed as well, but there is a System.UI closing warning. However, it does work on the stock if the added directions are removed from build.prop in text editor, but NO reboot. Otherwise the stock keys return.
Works on 7" KFHD, too. Just set up, very cool. Big thanks

Works fine on my recently re-rooted 7.2.2 - went ahead & sprung for the pro so I could remap the phone key to something useful ("calling home", going to the original home so I can read books. I sometimes forget that's what I originally bought it for).
Thanks.
Sadly, i must say that i detected an issue. Some apps that are coming with an own menu-button lost this button, e.g. Aldiko (app to read books) or google chrome. In chrome, the menu can be accessed with the menu-button that comes with button saviour, but the menu of Aldiko can't be accessed at all.

This will work for me until cm 10 comes out. Confirmed working on Kindle Fire HD 7". This also fixes the issue of the keyboard in landscape mode.
Wow, this is the greatest thing I have done to my kindle yet, make sure to install button savior first or else you are gonna be having a hard time fixing it. Couldnt access my root to change the build prop back to install button savior, luckily i was able to download the apk file on my computer and transfer it over and install it. Set it to appear when i swipe from the right corner...and goes away after 5 seconds..different themes... and alot of options when it comes to using custom triggers. Found a pro version on google, works flawless.
Thanks for the tip, but can I suggest the better looking ltm launcher.

Nice tip, I used button saviour previously on my HTC Desire and found it to be a great piece of kit, but I've noticed that while using it on my Kindle, particularly in portrait mode, when the button saviour bar is closed there is a flicker lower down the screen which is very annoying. Its as though it repositions itself at the bottom of the screen before closing. I'm using the pro version as well, so it's not got anything to do with that.
For now I've gone back to the default nav bar - it is annoying that there is no autohide for that really as otherwise it does the job. There must be a way to autohide it as some apps do that.
I also had the no menu button problem. I had to go back to stock nav bar till that is figured out..oh well

Yeah i know but with out stock nav bar the menu button doesn't do anything. For instance if i set it up with a menu button on button savior but no nav bar when an app should have a menu button it wouldn't be there any more. The button savior menu button also does nothing when u click it. If the stock nav bar is their however then the button savior menu button works again and it appears in the app again

I had noticed this, but not the part about the menu working with the bar there. perhaps we could mod the framework-res.apk to set the height to 0 or something then we would not need to do the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1..

This is a shame. I figured this would be one of the first mods due to the popularity and convenience of on-screen buttons. The bezel on the Note 4 is so small at the bottom that it wouldn't even look like a waste of space to have a navigation bar. The capacitive buttons are so easily pressed due to the small bezel. I don't mind this, but I wish the option for on-screen was included by samsung. I also hate the "back" button on the right side because I'm left-handed and can't reach it with my dominant hand. That should be reversible as well. Is that possible?
I also recommend lmt. The back button is instant.

Did exactly that as soon as I got it. Although I actually prefer back key on right, just find note too wide to reach across, being left handed. Turned off the key light, not to cause confusion, and I guess it took a day to train muscle memory.

Ah, thanks! What would I change to simply disable the Recent and Back keys completely? I have on screen keys now. I still want to keep the home button because I don't accidentally press it.
Actually, I just put a # in front of the line for app_switcher, which worked. What do I change or remove to disable the capacitive Back hardware key? Thanks!
EDIT: figured it out!
To disable the Recent and Back hardware keys (capacitive buttons), edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and put a # in front of these 2 lines:
key 158 BACK
key 254 APP_SWITCH
Save and reboot!

The only thing about let and pie control in general is that it auto dissappear. When multiple back key is required, it is a pain.
Which is why I have resorted to using side key panel when I don't want to use capacitive. I edited settings database to add transparency to side panel menu as well as having a hint bar dissappear. I moved it to the comfortable zone for my thumb, and trigger it without fail. It says on till I press outside of the side menu.
It is working great for me. Although I would rather have standard nav bar for purely visual reasons as well as more modding options.

I too am a lover of a static nav bar on my Galaxy Devices.
I now have a SM-N910P now and am frustrated as heck at not being able to get it functional here, on a rooted stock NK2. I used to run SlimKat 4.4.2 on my SPH-L710 and loved the navbar that they baked into the ROM. SlimLoli is maturing for the Note 4, but it doesn't yet have any S-Pen support baked in. This fact, when coupled with how well Samsung and Sprint have done with TouchWiz on the Note 4 have caused me to hold off on putting a custom ROM on the device.
So, what to do.?. Editing buildprop does indeed cause the looping system UI FC. UDN is an excellent solution barring one issue, and that it is doesn't have a means to dedicate a portion of the display to the nav bar. It just overlays on top of the launcher's/app's UIs. I'd be willing to pay for a solution that fixes this.
Pie controls have never really clicked with me. Not yet being willing to move away from NK2, I find that I am wondering if there is a way to force a portion of the bottom of the screen to be entirely dedicated to a specific app, all of the time. As depicted in this screeny, UDN overlays and it is frustrating as hell.
Anyone have any ideas yet?

install Nova Launcher 5.2
Clearly not what he's looking for. Currently there's no option to disable it altogether globally. Only option to hide it on a per app basis, which not all apps support.

It should be what he's looking for. He may not be aware of launchers. Who uses the stock launcher?

Because this has nothing to do with disabling the navbar which is what he asked for.

I was looking for a way to completely disable it but I don't think it's possible without root. I enabled expended mode via ADB but my ultimate goal was to not make it appear when I scroll up from the bottom so I can use apps such as all in one gesture
There are some ways, but i guess they all need root. there is an xposed module : xposed edge pro, that can remove the navbar. or you can change the build.prop hw.mainkeys=1
i did that but the thing is when you completely remove the navbar every app that is not set to 18:9 scaling will not load. just give a black screen. that is not a problem as you can just switch all apps to 18:9 scaling in settings. except some few system dialogs that will not show anymore like the longpress menu when e.g. clicking on a link in chrome or on a message to copy it.
iv been on that issue for a long time now. it is definitely related with completely removing the navbar as the system then does not scale some screens accordingly anymore.
i tried the build.prop, whereas there are more settings related with the screen and ratio (ro.lge.app_scaling=1) (ro.lge.aspect.ratio=18:9) and (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) i dont know what the first two settings really do but i tried different settings
then there is the possibility via the xposed edge app, which does not change the build.prop. so it hast to change it in some other way, i dont know.
and i found a thread to change scaling via the service menu *#546368#*930# -svc menu -force long display mode -on from this thread.
ive tried all different settings combined in different ways and was not able to remove the navbar without that problem.
if anybody has more knowledge i would be glad to have some help
cheers DK

Agreed. I had an issue with the nav bar NOT appearing when I wanted. It kept disappearing in my corporate email and I had to force it up from the bottom to appear. I was puzzled, why is this happening only with this app? I finally figured out how to go into the nav bar settings and disable that for that app. For some reason that app (called Nine) was enabled to hide the nav bar.
I have the opposite problem. Except for when I'm watching videos, I do want to see the nav bar. This screen is tall enough that I don't need a totally "immersive" experience just reading email or looking at news articles.
And I use Nova launcher, of course. Who uses stock launcher?
There's this guide for a galaxy S8 but I haven't gotten it to work on my V30. I don't know if APKs are device specific or should work for all android devices. I have also been looking for a way to disable my nav bar.

Nobody. Except launchers still have nothing to do with what OP was looking for. I switch between Nova and action launcher and would recommend them to anyone not using as well, just baffled that he asked how to disable navbar entirely and the answer was install Nova...followed by the assertion that he needs to be told this even though its not what he asked and there was nothing to suggest he's not already using a 3rd party launcher

Tried the apk. Does not work on v30

Yeah didn't work for me either. I was hoping APKs were universal to Android.
It seems like there are ways to disable the nav bar without rooting the phone but not yet for the V30. I saw some forums on the OnPlus 5T mentioning some apps that would do it but they didn't exist in my play store for some reason

If you could post the links, we could try to find them.

You can allow specific apps to hide the navbar, or there is a universal as well. It can be found in setting/display/Home Touch Buttons

Yeah, I turned that off as soon as I could find it.

I found how to hide the nav bar for specific apps months ago (and indeed have all of the available apps flicked to off), but I cannot find the universal switch anywhere. Where exactly is it?
Under Settings/Display/Home Touch Buttons, I only see three options: Button combination, Color, and Hide Home Touch Buttons.
The Hide Home Touch Buttons screen is the one I found months ago, but I don't see a universal switch there.
Thanks.

For me, when I go to Home Touch Buttons in settings and click "Hide Home Touch Buttons" it gives me a list for every app where I can toggle to hide the home buttons. There's also a toggle option at the top of this page that says "Lock/hide icon" -- that's the universal button.
Though this doesn't hide the home buttons on the home screen for me. Does it hide them on the home screen for anyone else? I can't figure out how to do that and my Nova launcher prime doesn't have the option.

Thought that was just the icon that shows up on the left-hand side of the nav bar when in an app where the nav bar can be hidden.
That's not a universal on/off switch for the nav bar system-wide, is it?

Ohhh I think you're right. I guess I don't know where the universal button is either.
