Hello
I need to remove the access to status bar permanently in android Oreo but its visible and can see it(Samsung j7core - android 8)(Apktool 2.3.3).
I follow from this post and this one :
My steps is:
1- adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk
2- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
3- apktool if framework-res.apk
4- apktool if SystemUI.apk
5- apktool d SystemUI.apk
6- Open SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml and add android:clickable="false" to the top most xml element
7- Open xhdpi folder and replace the corrupt pip_dismiss_scrim.9.png file with the file on the top of my post link
8- run apktool b SystemUI
9- Go to SystemUI\original and copy AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF to SystemUI\build\apk\
10- run apktool b SystemUI again
11- Go to SystemUI\dist\ and override the device's original SystemUI.apk with the one at SystemUI\dist\SystemUI.apk with adb push SystemUI\dist\SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk
12- change the permissions of SystemUI.apk
13- reboot device
14- see result >>> failed > the status bar and nav bar are lost ! cant see both of them
I do this steps on android 6 and worked perfectly .
Which step is wrong or must be do ?
please help ...
Many thanks.
