Deleting systemui. Questions. - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, a little while ago I deleted the systemui.apk. and started using apps such as pie pro and tiny apps for basic usage of the phone. I don't know why, but I hate the status bar and constantly on screen navbar, deleting systemui.apk gets rid of both in lollipop, while still preserving the use of the keyboard. This could be done on 4.4 using xposed framework, but as we all probably know. It's not functioning for lollipop yet, or at least three hasn't been a replacement.
My question is, is there a better way to achieve no status bar, no navbar, and fully functioning keyboard. Without getting rid of systemui and everything else it does?
So far everything I've noticed missing, that can't be fixed by tasker, pie pro, moto display, or tiny apps: no screen shots, no recent app draw, notifications don't make sound, and reddit is fun won't open for whatever reason.

Smart Launcher 2 gives the ability to hide the status bar. Does that suffice?

I was looking for a more system wide removal. Would I be able to use apktool, or would I need to use apktool to get rid of it?

I just started using Smart Launcher 2, I've become a huge fan of it. Using it on both my N5 and Moto X. Been using Nova for ages, so the change is nice, and I love how simple it is.

I know on KitKat you can edit the build.prop to get rid of the navbar but I'm not sure if you can still on Lollipop. I'm not a fan of Lollipop so both my Android phones are staying on KitKat. On KitKat, you can either edit or add the line " qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to get rid of the navbar ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 would add it for phones with hardware buttons) but again I'm not sure if that works on Lollipop. Also, this is just for the navbar and has no effect on the status bar. If you are going to try it, make sure to do a nandroid and also make a backup of your unedited build.prop. Proceed with caution, I'm not responsible if anything bad happens.

Any rooted users mess around much with DPI (Xposed) settings yet?

So far I've changed a handful of apps and all seems well.
I got a little ambitious though and was going to try and shrink the status bar a bit.
If I remember correctly (been using PA for a while), in the past all that required was changing the DPI for Android System and System UI.
However, doing this leaves me with a gap under the status bar and changing the DPI of Android System seems to affect all the apps...and royally screw up the Samsung keyboard. It works, but the graphics are massively stretched so you have to guess where the keys should be.
Changed these particular settings aren't a huge deal, was just curious if anyone else has had more success, or if I'm just doing something stupid

I'm wondering about the same thing. I have not touched anything with the status bar but would really like to shrink the ridiculously large font. I have changed DPI on a number of apps and no issues so far.
I've never messed with this but I'd love to get rid of the huge font everywhere. Haha

I changed mine to extra small
I also use apex launcher and changed all the icon sizes to 85% and increased all the rows/columns +1
this made it seem as if it is a better dpi but without hardcore modding of the individual dpi's

I'm just doing individual apps for now as well. 400 DPI seems to be the sweet spot for my eyes.
I changed my whole system to 320 dpi for play store compatability. Whatever dpi ya set make sure to set the tw apps to 480 so they arent screwed up. These include calculator, phone, contacts, camera, email, photo editor, tw home & tw easy home. Ive noticed the keyboard is finally multi dpi and its working just fine for me on 320 dpi. Oh by the way i used rom toolbox to switch my overall dpi & set my per app settings BEFORE changing dpi to prevent any fc's lemme know if ya need any help

Biggest thing is to make sure ya set the specific apps first haha. I set the whole thing once first and it was a big mess! With setting the apps I specified, the only weird thing i saw was if you go to task manager the top bar is off centered. You can still see everything but theres black space to the right. Other then that everything is just about perfect

Does running the dpi at 350 or 400 cause any issues with the play store? I don't have Xposed installed but I was thinking of using rom toolbox to set it at 350 or 400.

It may cause some apps not to show up in the app store because its an unrecognized dpi. Theres a module for xposed that restores app store compatability though I believe

Yeah the clock/weather screen that appears when the s-view cover in closed within the plastic window. Unfortunately I thought it might be tied to system UI which sucks.

Is your phone and contacts working properly? I did the Rom Toolbox as well and set it to 360. I used Xposed to set the DPI to 480 for Contacts and Phone. The initial dialer looks correct. However, after the call connects, the dialer is in the middle of the screen instead of being down the bottom like how it is before the call. Did you run into this issue?

Looks like mine is working now after switching launchers. So the culprit is in the settings of the old launcher and has nothing to do with build.prop DPI. This is good news :good:

While we're on the topic of modifying the look and feel of the phone, can anyone tell me where in settings I need to go to turn off the Weather/Calendar widget on the lock screen? I can't seem to find it anywhere in either settings or calendar app.

I downloaded the beta. When I started the app this morning I saw that there is an update from the beta to 2.3.1. Anybody updated to this version? If so, any issues? Without being able to do a custom recovery I don't want to take too many chances on an infinite bootloop.

[APKs] The KitKat we didn't get

Nothing special here, just a couple of apks to get us closer to the correct KitKat look.
There is an updated MotLauncher2.apk that has the transparent status bar enabled. In addition, it was modified to remove the dock divider, and use the KitKat apps icon. Also, a 5th icon row was added, but over(under)laps the QSB making it unusable. I only made the change to fix the uneven spacing of the stock 4 row launcher.
There is also an updated SystemUI.apk that replaces the awful signal icons VZW stuffs down our throats with the stock icons from KitKat. All of the other status bar changes were accomplished with Xposed and GravityBox. It should be noted, stock only uses a 4 bar signal, so technically I cheated and used the 4bar for both level 4 and 5.
I am not responsible if you can't follow instructions and brick or otherwise render your phone inoperable!
You must be rooted and on KitKat.
How to install:
Download files
Reboot into Safestrap
Make a backup (just in case)
Select Mount and check System
Open a command prompt (terminal) and navigate to location of downloaded files
Code:
adb shell
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.odex
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex
adb push MotLauncher2.apk /system/priv-app
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Reboot
This was something I did for myself. I will not be making any other modifications or make any custom versions of these so please don't ask. I will attempt to assist anyone having trouble getting it on their system, but it's pretty straight forward and I'm not in the habit of hand-holding.
Enjoy!

Can I ask what mods you did to SystemUI to get the AOSP look? I want to do my own mod, but changing the same bools.xml values as I've been doing for the Moto X hasn't worked out completely, and still left me with the ugly huge space next to the signal bars. Also, did you find what makes the icons continue to turn blue and show activity arrows like on JB? Thanks!
Replaced all the drawables with the stock ones from kitkat. The vzw versions are wider, which is why you get the ugly gap.
As far as them turning blue, that is gone from kitkat, but if you use the JB icons, you can emulate the functionality. To make it "really" work like JB, you'd have to rewrite the network controller classes. They were heavily modified for the vzw icons to work.

Launchers like ADW and others allow you to specify the number of columns and rows to display. I use ADW, but maybe Nova or Apex do this.

You can get the status bar transparent with an xposed module or Nova has this ability built in. I don't remember if you need prime with Nova or not tho.

[Q] Is there a way to get a transparent navbar in every app?

I was just wondering if there was a way to get a transparent navbar in every app. I know that without xposed it would be way harder to do but if someone can create a zip to do that, it would be awesome and definitely help with the burn-in issuses these phones are prone too.
I would love to see this too...

Custom ROM could probably add this
Any developers/people with the know-how any input on this?
There is a link here guiding how it's done on Kitkat, I wonder if anyone can work out the same for Lollipop?

LG devices have already had this feature for a while.
I'm sure we'll see something similar in custom roms soon. But if the one hand use is so troublesome, why not just go to pie controls? Easy to do with root.

Don't need an app - just modify your build prop and add the following line :

Man, you made it sound as easy as click of a button. I don't understand any of these languages. I only do them if there are instructions, otherwise, forget about it.
Anyway, a free app called UDN lite does the job for me. Then, installed Pie Control and everything is working great.
Conclusion, still want to modify nav bar like in the pic attached above
Thanks for your suggestion BTW!
Modifying build prop is easy to do and a lot cleaner than getting an app to do it. Lmt launcher is a good app for pie controls with a good amount of customization. The app is here on xda
Personally, I DO use build.prop to hide Nav bar, however - its not for the un-initiated. An app may be better. Factory reset can be a pain with build.prop hidden navbar
We have that feature on a nexus 9 ROM called lolipopalooza. Comes in really handy. Dev is craigcgomez. Really smooth ROM too.
This would be a great mod to have anyone heard of any progress?
@bassil2022 check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2996168 I made a request with the dev and I think he may try and put this in his work. He does some awesome work with this modpack he created. It works flawlessly!
I have my navbar hidden by editing build.prop and use Pie https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol&hl=en

When hitting the spacebar on the keyboard I used to accidentally activate it (I have it only enabled on the bottom edge). But I lowered the activation area dpi and it works well for me now. It's definitely not on par with GravityBox's Pie Control, but until the xposed framework is updated for Lollipop, it works for me.

@bassil2022 check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2996168 I made a request with the dev and I think he may try and put this in his work. He does some awesome work with this modpack he created. It works flawlessly!
