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.

Which rom/device have you confirmed it working on?
Doesn't work on Nexus7 (2012) ROM:CM10.2.1
Edit: working now!!! But please add "navbar height in landscape" because on tablets navbar is still in stock dpi in landscape mode
Works on Omnirom 4.4.2 Huawei Ascend P6, atlough the statusbar size is a little buggy. Combined with App Settings it can be put into good use for resizing the statusbar.
Click "Apply" anything did not happen.
Excellent!!!
This might be of interest for at least a few.
This mod enables the navbar / softkeys on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 running near stock TW rom (STS MK4). I have been searching for a mod that does this, as i've tried the manual editing of the CSC to disable the hw keys but never worked for me.
And I can shrink the navbar to 24 pts!

What are you trying to change

Not much success on my S4, either. The status bar never changed, and I got intermittent effects in some apps' title or action bar. Yes, I rebooted after each attempt. I'm looking forward to trying updated versions.
Things working/not working
Working: statusbar height, action bar height
Action bar title size is kinda working, it shows up when I open an app, but when it fully loads, text size is back to normal
Not working (and tested obviously): statusbar icon size (could it be an incompatibility with gravity box icons?), toast message distance from bottom
Also, loading previous settings causes fc, and ad cover the "Visit XDA thread" button.

Load previous settings only works if you had some, i'll look into it. And new update i just released has fixed issue with ad covering the buttons. Thanks for letting me now
Hi
Still testing
Cannot you made possible to view changes just after a systemui reboot (like xuimod)?

This module replaces the values of dimens.xml inside framework-res.apk. It requires a reboot in order to reload these settings. I'll look into XuiMod and see how they're doing it, i suspect they have some sort of background service like GravityBox

Nope, already did, and didn't helped.
Maybe you are not aware, but G2 notification bar has big height comparing to other phones, so maybe it is already moded somehow especially that LG G2 heavily themed comparing to usual phones.
P.S
I'm using the stock ROM with 4.2.2 android.

Is it possible to get nav bar cursor arrows on a stock rom without xposed framework?
If that you mean navbar arrow like mm and lolli have, you need to decompile your systemui, or just want to enable it?

You can use another systemui that have arrow navbar icon for compare, just replace some png to your systemui, find it on drawable folder, no need to decompile because no xml and smali editing, just replace png. but sometimes the back arrow are look bigger than other. You can use Xplore file manager to open apk as zip.
Other than Xposed or SystemUI mods, don't think you can enable it. You can use the Google keyboard and while longpressing on the space bar, there's a feature that will allow you to slide the cursor around. Not sure exactly what you're looking to have the keys for...
I've got an Essential Phone (7.1.1, Magisk + Xposed) and I'm trying to to change the status bar height. Here's a stock image of what it looks like at default dpi. I was able to use use the window manager (adb shell wm) to offset the status bar upward, but that's not a complete solution.
Anyone know of a way to change the status bar height? If it wasn't obvious, I'm rooted.
Hi! Any news for changing status bar height?
