Hi there, noob question, just checking - is there any way to hide navigation keys and make the status bar transparent without the root? /I think not/. I'll do a root for this purpose if I have to, but could anyone please navigate me as what to do next? Don't want to go custom rom, so I guess once rooted I go for some app that hides the navigation keys and makes the status bar transparent? Sorry if this is really basic, don't have any experience with this.
Root needed

Ya you need to root your phone to hide the nav bar.
After you're rooted, use this app to configure which application you want to go fullscreen
Use this application to hide the nav bar on google play : Full!screen
When 4.4 is available for Sony Xperia Z Ultra, you can make the navigation bar and/or status bar transparent. Numerous launchers offer now the ability to hide the status bar. No root required.
You can do as I do. Use the Xposed module Tinted Statusbar. This is how my statusbar and navbar looks like.
Or you can use one of several other modules that also does the job just fine.

Is there a way that I can completely get rid of the status bar and soft keys or at least hide them. It just gets in the way, it messes up my wallpaper and I don't need them because I used app savior
If I can't hide it what is the dimensions of the status bar so I can make a wallpaper according
Does anybody have a template to make a wallpaper fit or at least the pixel ratio
Your launcher should have an option to hide the status bar, most third party launchers offer the option...
look in the tablet section of CM settings. also extra setting in other launchers

I would like to hide the status bar on my Neo.
I know that some apps do that like adw.launcher, but what I'd like is to change android source code in order to hide the status bar.
I think it's almost impossible. Devs for Launcher7 have done many efforts to try that, but didn't succeed. Try killing the statusbar sevice apk in the apps menu or with TiBu.
Edit: I can remember I once had the statusbar force closing, and didn't have a statusbar anywhere, but some other service might also stop running.
Use go launcher, it has that option!

Half of the launchers (AFAIK: ADW, Launcher7, LauncherPro, Go, ssLauncher...) have that option, but I think OP want's it outside of the launcher too.
Yes Go Launcher has this option.
You can add gestures and with a single slide to a chosen direction hide the status bar.

he wants to HIDE it not DISABLE it.
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.
I have installed a ROM by Niaboc79 called the eXistenZ 1.3.5 ultra for the xperia s. Than i downloaded opensemc app and forced a navigation bar to show up which worked perfectly. Then i flash a zip file which makes the status bar and the navigation bar transparent which i need the most but after flashing that everything worked well but i have a small problem, everytime i go to task switcher i get no small apps bar all i get is the open apps in the recent apps column but no small apps bar. I got XPERIA S LT26i locked bootloader. Help me please!!!! this happens to other roms too.
Or can you atleast tell me how to make only the nav bar and status bar transparent on any systemui.apk?

I'm sorry to say that there is no fix for this in my opinion but the reason why it didn't work for me is because I wanted a systemui.apk which gave me transparent status bar and nav bar. To fix this I just kept the original systemui included in ROM and got gravity box which allowed me to change transparency levels of the status and nav bar and again sorry if I couldn't help

Its Okay..
I don't have transparent status bar and nav bar because i used kitkat (its already tranparent)... i used some xposed module too..
Thnks bro..
Try Xposed
instead of flashing a whole zip. try xposed framework to transparent ur statusbar. or u could make it even better then transparent with tinted status bar.
and the best part.. if something doesnt work u could just revert back to stock with a couple taps
I'm using nova launcher and love having the nav bar transparent. Is there any tweak or method to male it stay transparent in apps?? Some are but many have it as black.
I don't want have to hide it and then swipe to get it back so I'm hoping there is a way.

I haven't used it myself, but maybe look into this xposed module and see if it'll have that option for you
