Hi,
I'm using a Samsung Homesync. I'm rooted. In this device, the TouchWiz is implemented such that there's no classical tablet UI, but rather a different one. Other Launchers like Nova also work perfectly fine, however, the notification/status bar is implemented differently. You can see the notifications on the top right corner where there's just a number which counts them.
If I launch Nova, since there's no status bar and no special corner as implemented in the stock launcher, there's no notification window.
How can I make this device display the classical tablet or phone status bar, with running application icons, time, notifications, etc. that I can pull up or down to see details?
I tried replacing framework.* files from a Galaxy Tab3 ROM but system never boots if I do so. I also tried just replacing the SystemUI. With modified framework, system doesn't boot. With SystemUI change, it just crashes.
PS. Both roms Android 4.2.2, but different processors. There's no other TW ROM that matches this hardware. Only the Nexus 10 is matching but it's not Touchwiz. I have root but I can't change kernel since it's bootloader locked.

Try a third party statusbar called Super Status Bar. Install like a normal app.
It is not just statusbar strip. It is actual pull down statusbar.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firezenk.ssb
This supports notifications, toggles etc. (must be installed in internal memory, not on SD Card)
Root access is not required, no custom kernel business.
Shows Date, time, weather, notifications (but does not have swipe to remove), allows shortcut to recent apps.....
Install it to see magical features.
I used it in a ported ROM for my device where I had to freeze stock statusbar because for Force Close.
Press Thanks if helped.
Thanks. However this doesn't take the reserve it's own and take space from Nova but rather part of the launcher goes under it and becomes not visible.

Hi all.
Is it possible in SII to change status bar icons order. I want to have time on the left side etc.
Should I install some additional stuff ?
Thanks for help.
Some roms allow you to centre the clock or remove it via an additional menu in the settings.
Things like ROM control on aokp, TSM parts possibly J-Kay's mod.
Ive never seen the clock being moved to the other side though, not in all my android years.
I also wanted to move signal icon into the left one.
Now all the icons are on the right side and it doesn't look good.
I need to install cyanogenmod ?
got bored with old type status bar
A custom status bar that goes where you go, done WP7 style!
StatusBar+ is the FIRST custom status/ notification bar for Android, no root or custom ROM required!
It works in any orientation and appears consistently for ANY and ALL applications. In full screen applications it automatically hides and in some applications like ZPlayer it becomes transparent for seamless integration.
In order for StatusBar+ to handle third-party notifications it MUST be enabled in System Settings > Accessibility and NOT in the app itself1
StatusBar+ is more than just a custom status bar. It comes bundled with its own MIUI-style battery bar, the ability to change any and all indicators to any color your heart desires, features for users with AMOLED screens to avoid pixel burn-in, popup notifications, and much more.:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

I need to get rid of the system bar on Android 4.1 tablets since the tablets will be in a commercial/retail environment and be used for business. My app will be the only app used on the tablet and it needs as much screen real estate as possible for what we're trying to do. I have searched already and I see that there are ways to do it on a rooted tablet, however since this will be in a business and deployed to several hundred or thousand businesses, I cannot have all the tablets rooted for legal and security issues. (Would I really have issues legally though if I were to root them?)
I know that you can dim the status bar and make the buttons dots but that really isn't optimal.
If there is no way to get rid of it, is it possible to change the status bar icons and functionality? I ask this because our app has a status bar on top and we could possibly move it to the bottom and change the icons and functionality of the status bar to match the app's status bar so no screen real estate is lost.
I have read that 4.2 adds some fullscreen functionality for apps. Is this true? Can the status bar be hidden in 4.2 as opposed to 4.1?
You could get rid of statusbar
Add this attribute to activity declaration in manifest
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

That just gets rid of the title bar for the app and the notification bar at the top. That does not get rid of the navigation bar at the bottom. I would like the navigation(system) bar to be gone.

I know but for un rooted dev this is the only thing that can be done
To completely remove statusbar del the Systemui.apk from system/app
To remove navigation bar at the bottom give me details of your dev and attach Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk they can be found in system/app and system/framework
But this can't be done without root
Press Thanx Button dude

Re: Getting rid of Status Bar on 4.1
Here's what I would do:
- Setup another Launcher (like Apex) to where 1) only one page, one icon (your app), and lock the homescreen from any changes, 2) make sure that when you press Menu, it performs a different action than giving you an option to access Settings, and 3) disabling the Status Bar in 'General'.
- Change the attribute in the Manifest file like sak-venom1997 suggested.
I'm pretty sure that doing this would give the user no option to change anything. Pretty sure.
After quite some smali digging I was finally able to put together an Xposed module that enables the status bar in custom launchers (and other apps as well, if desired).
This is the very first alpha version, and it is only tested with X201-KK BASE. The module will most likely work with other 4.4 ROMS for x201 smart watches as well.
Changelog
Version 0.1: First release. Enables the status bar in most launchers. Does not play well with GravityBox.
Version 0.2: Enables the status bar in all apps. Use other Xposed modules to enable full screen mode when desired. Does work well alongside GravityBox, Xposed Additions, etc.

Click on the Download tab above, download and manually install the APK (for now).
The module should then show up in Xposed Installer. Just activate it and reboot.

Installed OK. Deactivated GravityBox when trying out.
By default, I only get the status bar flashing when first opening an application. If I am quick, I can pull down notifications.
In Nova, I can Toggle Notification Bar (shortcut) to see the status bar, but not other apps. Tried App Settings too.
At least something, it is a pain that Omate/Umeox chose to remove the status bar the way they did instead of using Android built in functionality.
The current version only enables the status bar in apps with "launcher" in their package name.
It's an ugly hack, I know, but I just wanted status bar in Nova, Launcher 8, etc. for now. It's an alpha version, you know.
I can release another APK to enable the status bar in every application, but it will not look good with a status bar in the lock screen, for example.
I would prefer a settings screen to activate/deactivate the status bar on a per app basis.
Edit:
New version released. It enables the status bar in every app. I think it works with 4.2 ROMs as well, but haven't tested.

Hi nilezon, unfortunately it seems not working on 4.2 versions. As another said some posts above, I just can see the status bar for a while when I open an app in Nova Launcher, but it disappear afterwards nor I can see the notification bar in the apps themselves :crying:. Installed v.0.2 of the module.
It would be great if you could do something for 4.2 as well. Thanks.

My fault, it worked on 4.2.2. I had to performance a full reboot upon module activation. Previously the watch had fast reboot activated and it did not work after fast reboot. Just if someone else want to try the module on 4.2.

Can you tell me what device you are using?
The notification bar is horrible, i like the stock android one where i can turn off wifi/bluetooth etc - i downloaded an app that tries to emulate these things but its not the real deal.
I already use a custom launcher -how can i replace the notification bar ?

I think root with xposed framework will do. But I dont touch that, because I always semibricked phones with it.
Personally, I only miss the brightness in there. Mine is clean showing only the clock and my push notifications. The stock multitasking feature is full of the Features you want in the notification bar and also customizable. I like the idea as the multitask switching itself on the most roms is very "empty". Just your windows and thats it. In EUI its like a "quickbar"
