I was wondering, if I was on any of CM10, paranoid, aokp 4.2 roms, and wanted to nandroid back to a 4.1.1 rom. Do I need to still used the Restore-SDcard-after-downgrade zip? and if so, In what order? I search over the forums looking for similar questions hoping not to clutter the forum with repeat questions so sorry in advance if I missed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbucz24:
Simple answer, no...

A nandroid backup is a actual backup of what ever system you are currently running.

So if you dont like the rom your on you can restore your backup and your back to where you were before...

With that being said, I think your actually talking about a different backup. Titanium or an app similar where it restores your installed applications without having to individually do it.

And the answer to that is yes and no...if your going from two different roms you should not restore data as there may be conflicts.

But you may always restore applications from any version of android to another.

Or...are you talking about the partition difference from 4.2 to 4.1.* roms?

Hope this helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robbnice:
I was talking more about the partition difference from the 4.2 to 4.1 roms. I didn't know if a nandroid has the same affect as flashing back to a 4.1.1 . and was wondering should I flash the zip they provided to fix the partition issue? or don't worry and just nandroid back to what i have when i'm want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
When i restore back to 4.1 i use the zip after i restore. Brings back all the sd locations back to where they were. If i dont use the zip i would have to manually change each folder to where it should be on 4.1. Thats why i use the zip to avoid that hassle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robbnice:
Thank you so much for answering Avatar my question, so whenever i want to switch back to my touchwiz rom, I will just used the zip. thanks again!

Re: [GUIDE] Hide Status Bar and still being able to expand it on CM10.1

Really nice, I will use this when 10.1 comes to my device :P

By the way, you made an error in your first sentence. It should say status bar instead of navbar.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
thanks for the correction.

i checked and it works also on cm10.

i will update the title of the first post

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] halliba:
very good tutorial. easy to understand and easy to do :)

worked fine. My Statusbar disappeared... But I can't swipe it Down :D

Any idea?^^

edit: i'm using Cm 10.1-20120121-NIGHTLY-i9300 and Next launcher 3D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
Uhm, maybe you should set an higher status_bar_height? Try with 10dip.

Or you can even leave it to 25dip and test it to see if the problem is the small swipable area
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] halliba:
works fine now. thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
You're welcome ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lukakas:
Why not add as an optional feature for cm10.1? It would be interesting to do it in full screen app slide down once for low to show the status bar and once again to open the notifications bar like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek-hq-lD1lw
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shponglized:
Does this make it to where you can only swipe from a small area? because I use a setting in CM 10.1 to swipe down on the quicksetting already when you pull down from the right corner. I love that.

Does Apktool even work on Windows 8, I'm wanting to do this, but not quite prepared.

Another thought, Is there any way to do this only on the home screen? That's the only place it really really bothers me.

Also, You Signature is priceless.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AnakTeKa:
I don't know anything about smali, is there any way to edit this from source ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
i would totally love that feature too, unfortunatly i'm absolutely not capable of doing it.

Edit: i think that it is not system wide. But just a launcher feature

yes it is 100% like if you have the status bar, if fact with this trick you will just make it absolutely trasparent (and a bit smaller). so you can swipe everywhere, swipe to the right to access quick toggles and double swipe to access quick toggles.

I can't tell you about windows 8 because i'm using linux, but it should be ok. I did not hear people complaining about apktool not working on W8.

About the homescreen, this trick works systemwide, so you should maybe try an alternative launcher (like apex) which allows to hide the status bar with a gesture

ahah i found my signature here

by the way: You know you are rooted when your up till 1.00am, looking on xda rather than watching porn

i don't know anything about smali too :p, yes it is possible to do it from source but it would be more difficult. Morover to compile a cyanogenmod rom from source it took me 55 minutes (i have 12GB or ram and an intel i7 950)

Thank you for this!Is there anyway you could tell me how do you just make the status bar transparent, with it still showing? Any ideas?All guides I've tried do not work on CM, systemUI just crashes with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shponglized:
I second this, I'd much rather have it transparent than gone.

I got the app notifier Pro though, Which is really polished and nice, I'm gonna do this procedure later on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
at the moment i'm not able to make an only transparent status bar (yea that's weird) but i'm working on it and i'll post a tutorial as soon as possible
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hv6478:
Much like the new Sense status bar behaves would be amazing. It's just a regular status bar that's completely transparent behind it, but when you swipe down the drawer comes in from the very top as if it was normal, then completely hides away in the top edge but still has all the icons and time and everything there. It actually looks and works really nice! But it isn't AOSP :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deniz1905:
different way

i know another way to disable statusbar and expand it while it is hiding. firstly you should have a kind of rom that can apply expanded desktop feature then install an app which is called smart statusbar found in play store. that's all. thank you for your sharing btw :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
no you can't, if you want a transparent status bar i suggest to install aokp or pa.

no, it is specific for every rom

i did it!!!

i'm a completely newbie but i succesfully followed your guide and my status bar has finally gone. I'm using latest sentinel room.

if i upload my flashable zip, will it work also for the users who have the same rom?

Anyway i cannot scroll my sidebar down but i use apex, so i enabled a gesture to activate it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
you're welcome :D.

yes it should work for other users too (with the same version of the rom).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
Hey mate,

Status_bar_height 0.0 its perfect for my device but I cannot swipe it down. Every other height makes my status bar be half hidden and sometimes I can swipe it down and sometimes I cannot. What should I do ?

My device is Lg L7 p700.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
if you set status_bar_height to 0.0dpi it will be disabled, so you need to keep it enabled and as smallest as possible. if you can swipe it down only sometimes it means that you have to increase the height a bit. try with 10.0 dip and see if you can correctly swipe it down. if you can't with 10dip, then try with 20dip.

what you mean with "makes my status bar be half hidden" ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
I mean that my status bar is like this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37569984&postcount=32

Just tested with 10.0 dip and it's like the guy in post 32 and I can swipe it down.

EDIT: Same with 5.0 dip but I cannot swipe it down.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
are you on an aosp rom?

if you are like the guy in post 32 the problem is into your status_bar.xml, you probably have to edit some more lines. link me that file and i'll tell you which ones.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
Im on CM10.1 Nightly.

Here's the file you asked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
the correct lines are 6, 22, 26.

mmm so you can see all the icons "cut" in the status bar? they should be hidden
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
Yes. As I said cut with 10.0 dip but I can swipe it down and again cut with 5.0 dip but I cannot swipe it down.

Forgot to mention that , this line

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/status_bar_contents" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

in my device wasnt exactly like that. I was missing "@id/status_bar_contents" , so I left it like that and I changed only "android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent". Maybe that's the problem ?

Im trying the whole afternoon to succeed! :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
don't worry about that, it is the sixth line, in cm10.1 they recently changed that method name (i guess).

try to modify also lines 7,11,12,19 and see what happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
You mean status_bar. Modify how?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
yes, status_bar.xml

set every "android:layout_width" and "android:layout_height" to 0.0dip in lines: 6,7,11,12,19, 22, 26
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ubuntuh:
can someone create a xposed module for this modification??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
Ok, I edited all the lines with 0.0dip and I left the status_bar_height 10.0dip. I have the same results..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
link me your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
Here you are mate.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
from what i've seen everything looks ok, except for the name of the systemui.apk (it should be SystemUI.apk).

try to flash this zip and report back if it works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vExOus:
Yeah! It works! Thanks man! :D

( Just my finger has to be at the top top to swipe down, I raise a bit the status_bar_height right ? )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
:p it wasn't working because of the wrong name of the file! i didn't modify your files, just packed them into a flashable zip.

yes increase the status bar height until you can comfortably swipe it down :good:

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] thank you so much for this mod guide.. Its working pretty well in Galaxy S2

However I would like to know if the following mod is possible: The status bar will not have any reserved space at the top, but when you swipe it once you need to see the status bar first (and it will disappear after few seconds) and then a further swipe will bring down the notification bar. (just like how smart status bar app will work on full screen app)

Having no status bar at all is a good experience, but then sometimes we need to see the icons in the status bar like the internet connectivity of wifi/2g/3g.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enryea123:
i think it is not possible. you can get something similar with a launcher with gestures (but only in the launcher), or maybe with smart status bar.

Well thanks for the headsup! I actually had tried the smart status bar with CM Expanded Desktop feature like how few had mentioned in this thread.. but it wouldn't make the status bar/notification bar appear at all. So i had almost given up on this, but gave a try with a new app called Swipe Status Bar (XDA thread) and this did the job.

It was real fun modifying the status bar with your guide. First time I went to a coding level if i must say. Thank you once again!

Thanks for this MOD, at first I heard this on XDA Developers news, I said to myself that who needs this MOD if you can hide your status bar while using 3rd party launchers like Apex and Nova? But it is totally different, with this you can use this while using apps to make your screen larger! Plus receive and appear notifications on desktop and app drawer like Viber and Facebook messenger chat-heads, since hiding status bar on Nova and Apex, this will also hide those said notifications as well on your desktop!

I'm a bit troubled when recompiling the framework-res.apk, the original apk size is 12mb, after recompiling the MOD the apk is now at 8mb size? Anyway it doesn't matter, the MOD is working flawlessly! :thumbup:

Re: Hide Status Bar

Still fiddling with this... I think I may make it up to flashing 50 zips too. :o

I have no idea how you figured this whole process out, but thanks. When I get this working correctly I will be so happy. At first the top half of the status bar still showed, and I figured out I wasn't putting the SystemUI.apk back in the right place (found that out reading through the first five pages of the thread). I have the status bar disappeared but I can't swipe it yet- I am at 13dip right now but need a break. Now just to get the swipe back, probably go back to 25dip... more info on my progress later.

OOH it works! A few reboots later and connected my USB cable to laptop- then pulled down invisible status bar! This is on Samsung Captivate running Hellybean ROM, Jellybean 4.2.2. Still at status bar height of 13dips. Hope it is still in effect after disconnecting mass storage! Did all the modding from Windows... Thanks again enryea123,

:good::good:

Edit: Well, it ended up as just a black bar for status bar shortly thereafter. :( Meanwhile, I am trying out an upgrade to 4.3 so I will come back to this.
