[Q] Move statusbar to bottom on stock rom with xml editing? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to have the statusbar at the bottom of the screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is this possible by editing some xml stuff in the systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk? I am using the stock rom and dont want to flash a custom rom.
While researching for this topic I found answers that this is just the tablet mode. But I dont want the tablet mode, I just want the phone mode with the statusbar at the bottom.
Any hints how I can achieve that would be great

You can use a mod called Realoaded ICS for CM9, also what rom are you using?

I don't know how but i'm just adding my take on this, Even if you got the status bar on the bottom by xml editing, You'd need to edit more things also because the status bar would pull down still and wouldn't pull up automatically .

this would be awesome especially for those who have large screens and difficult to deal with the top of the screen , no such things like this? any app even? for nougat?

I would love to have my statusbar on bottom with
notification blind expanding UPWARD instead of down.) statusbar can sit just above the navbar or beside soft keys.
I tried XUtilities mod after reading about this option but I'm on an LG Optimus F7 stock 4.1.2 JB Custom Kernel (Freedom lite) and it doesn't work.
I've tried modding "LGSystemUi" before, but lost Statusbar and Navbar after putting modded apk back, so DEFINITELY need very concise step by step. OOOOOR if someone is feeling very charitable,
I would happily upload/link my LGSystemUi and or Framework-res apk's for one with skills FAR above MY paygrade to do the edits.
Whoever answers my call for help, thank you eternally, in advance!

P.S.
Here are my SystemUI and Framework-res If someone can do this. (NOT holding my breath but HEY, you never KNOW, right?)
