Arnova 10 G2 Custom ROM by Finless Version 1.5

I found this :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8273186/android-show-hide-status-bar-power-bar

So there seems to be a solution to make a button that can hide/show the status bar.

After searching a bit, the following shell command hides the status bar :

su -c service call activity 79 s16 com.android.systemui

The following one starts it again :

su -c am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService

Or if it doesn't work, this one should :

su -c am startservice -n com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarService

Tried to do this in 'Terminal Emulator' in root access (after 'su') but I get "Permission denied" message..

Removing status bar

Removed status bar here with Titanium backup by freezing it, after installing button savior of course. I can always defrost it in TB if I want it back. I've installed iphone notifications lite from the playstore, but still missing status when downloading and when I have to charge the battery. It would be nice if you could make this status bar hide and only pop up on notifications.

Thanks

Instructions are clear and install is straightforward. No issues accessing Google Play too!

Thanks,

I already figured that out before your reply.

its a shame about no notifications (is there no way to fix this? it would be nice to have the standard android notification bar but have the soft buttons as a very small pull out tab on the side like you get with button savior)

Got it setup pretty good now barr the lack of notifications.

running launcherpro with button savior and have a nice clean looking tab.

battery useage is a nice little launcherpro widget

You can remove the status bar all together by simply renaming /system/app/systemui.apk. However when it is gone you will not get any more status messages at all!!! So if you do not care about those you can do this.

Hi Finless,

I installed your rom last night and have to say its much much better then stock.

Just one question...

Id like to remove the whole top bar and instead run Button Savior from the market. (Having this will let me play games and watch videos using the entire screen)

Id be very greatfull if you could tell me what files id need to remove to remove the bar?

I would have a play myself but without any way of doing a nandroid it would take for ever if kept needing to flash the device when ever i make a mistake

Thanks again
Craig

P.S... keep up the good work!

Somehow I set the stock browser as the default. I would really like to undo that setting so I can choose between it and Opera Mini, depending on what I'm trying to do. Is there a place in settings to clear the defaults? I have been searching all morning.

Go into settings/applications/manage and press the all button and look for browser. Nowclear the defaults

So you do not need Petrus' latest App Injector with my ROM. But Petrus put in much more into his latest version for those that want to modify package.zip and make your own APP setup!

1) He added better searching for package.zip and not just on extern SDCard.
2) He allows you to tell App Injector where package.zip is.
3) Added great error checking to chack for errors you might make in apps.csv and also missing files in package.zip that are asked for in apps.csv.

So he took App Injector to the next level to allow you guys to use it far beyond what my ROM needed it for.

ENJOY!

Bob

app injector

petras whats the difference in the updated version verses the one in the rom ,also is the update one posted still in beta testing or an official release free of bugs QUOTE=petrus;10900]Thanks for the nice comments guys.it was fun making the AppInjector, and it is great to get happy users reviews.

By the way, I did post a new version of my app on the dedicated thread. You can use it instead of the one included in the rom package.[/QUOTE]
