1. Use 'adb pull' to grab a copy of your current LGSystemUI.apk and LGSystemUI.odex files for backup!!!
2. Push the new LGSystemUI.apk to the sdcard
Code:
adb push LGSystemUI.apk /sdcard/LGSystemUI.apk
3. Open a root adb shell.
4. Remount system to read/write with the following:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system
5. Delete the existing files
Code:
rm /system/app/LGSystemUI.apk
Code:
rm /system/app/LGSystemUI.odex
6. Copy the new file to /system/app
Code:
cp /sdcard/LGSystemUI.apk /system/app/LGSystemUI.apk
7. Set correct permissions
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/LGSystemUI.apk
8. Reboot
Code:
reboot
Done!
Worked perfect using root explorer. Thanks so much. Hated those things.

Good work. Now that you've removed them from the t-mobile g2, can I have them on my Verizon g2?
Actually, all I want is the brightness slider, no use for the volume one. Is this something you could do as a request if I provide the Verizon systemUI.apk and do the testing? I would just about kill to have the brightness slider on mine, but it is not part of the Verizon rom.

Sounds like its so much easier to copy these files and change permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--) using root explorer than to use adb commands.

PM me a link to the Verizon one and I can take a quick look before I head off to sleep (work in the morning). I found quite a few references to "vzw" things in my APK so it wouldnt surprise me that is is simply disabled.

I don't think so, but I don't really know. All the carriers modified the UI a bit so I dont really know if they are interchangeable. If you really want to try, just make sure you have a backup of the stock apk and odex file!

The Verizon version doesn't have the sound bar and brightness bar issue in stock version. Verizon has a slightly modified version of the software. Now I don't know if there is a way to add the brightness slider on the Verizon version.
This sound and brightness slider issue affects the international versions of the G2 which are on ATT, Sprint and Tmobile. Hopefully someone with an ATT version can try this fix out and see if this works.

Re: AT&T see my other thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453457
I poked around the Verizon xml's and smali code and found pretty much a carbon copy of what is in AT&T's. It actually surprises me based on a cursory look that Verizon's volume slider isn't enabled, because as best I can tell it should be. On the plus side, all the code for tracking changes to it and updating it and what-have-you are in the code. So it appears to be fully implemented behind the scenes...just not displaying, apparently.
As far as the brightness slider goes, same story, I *think* it is just a matter of flipping a couple const's in the OperatorFeature.smali
Unfortunately, my VZW framework files are a little borked for some reason so I can't get a full decompile/compile and also have no phone to test against, alas.
will this work on international version?

Thanks for this!! To everyone that has no experience using ADB/shell this is very good practice. It's good to know your way around ADB even if it's just basic commands. I'm no expert, but I've done some homework and the info is out there if you want to learn.
Edit: Just remembered I was using a modified LGsystemUI that makes the status bar all-black instead of the gray gradient. Is there any way to merge these two modifications so it's not an either/or scenario?
Made bone head mistake..can someone post LGsystemUI.odex??

I know, stock ROM isn't bad at all. Smooth. Im satisfied with the options in quick toggles especially quick remit (so handy) knock on is great. I would want a de bloated ROM for sure though and especially a different kernel

Do you find the screen on/off button at the top of your EVO adequate for locking/unlocking your phone and don't want to be bothered with the additional steps for unlocking the screen after pressing the on/off button? If you answered yes, this mod is for you.
Disclaimer: Attention all "Billy Buzzkills", yes, I know there are third party apps that can do this. I don't want to install them to do so. I wanted to accomplish this at the framework level. Yes, I know you can toggle this on/off via the CM ROM widget. I don't currently use that ROM, and further more, this mod is "persistent", i.e. it survives a reboot, and can be turned on/off manually via a mechanism I've built-in to the mod, which is explained below, all w/o installing any third party app or widget.
This mod is accomplished via edits to the 'services.jar' framework file, so if you are already running various mods that you've manually applied to your services.jar file, this will undo them, and you will have to re-do them after applying this mod in the same manner previously.
When you flash the mod zip provided below, it will remove your HtcLockScreen.apk, if currently present, replace your current services.jar file, and, most importantly, place a "dummy" file named 'nolock.txt' in your '/system/customize' folder.
Upon bootup, when/if the '/system/customize/nolock.txt' file is present, your Vanilla Lockscreen will be disabled, meaning as soon you press the power button on your EVO, you will be taken directly to your homescreen.
This mod is based on the most current 'services.jar' file as distributed via the Sprint OTA update 3.30.651.2, and also has the 'translucency' mod built-in for the notifications window (thanks to xeudoxus & fxn).
Disable All Lockscreens for HTC Sense ROMs <--- Flash via recovery
As with replacing any framework file on your phone, your dalvik cache will get rebuilt on the initial boot, causing an extended reboot time. Don't panic, your phone will come up, eventually. While waiting, grab a coffee, get re-acquainted with your wife, say hello to your neighbor, solve world hunger, etc, etc.
Want your Vanilla Lockscreen back, or want to toggle this feature on/off in a persistent manner? Via ADB, simply shell in to your phone and rename the 'nolock.txt' file:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize
mv nolock.txt nolock.txt.bak
reboot
When your phone comes back up, your Vanilla Lockscreen will return. You can accomplish the same steps above via 'root explorer' by simply navigating to the referenced folder and renaming the file.
Want to disable again?
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize
mv nolock.txt.bak nolock.txt
reboot
If you deleted the file, rather than renaming it, just re-create the dummy file using:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize/
touch nolock.txt
reboot
And when the phone comes back up, the lockscreen will be disabled once again.
Not comfortable with the manual approach? I've included 2 flashable zip files below that, after applying this mod, you can simply boot into recovery and flash to enable/disable the Vanilla Lockscreen as desired.
Flash to turn off lockscreen <--- Flash via recovery
Flash to turn on lockscreen <--- Flash via recovery
Note: Unfortunately, this does NOT work in conjunction with the keypattern unlock. When / if you are using the keypattern, it forces the lockscreen first, followed by the keypattern entry, so if you want keypattern ONLY, w/o the lockscreen, this will not accomplish this goal, though I will look into it. I just wanted to get this out there as version 1.0.
After flashing this, can you then just use the pattern lock screen and bypass the htc slide down and vanilla lock screens or will the pattern lock be disabled too?

The way the keypattern works, it forces the Vanilla screen back on. This wasn't my primary goal when doing the mod, so, no currently, it won't work that way, but as mentioned, it's something I'll look into to see if there is a way...
Just an update. Had a chance to look closer at the keypattern files, and I have a few ideas that "may" enable keypattern ONLY. Stay tuned...
what about roms with white taskbar?, the clock is white...can you make a version of services.jar with black font for the clock in the taskbar?...pattern would be sweet too

My main goal is the put this base mod out there. People can certainly take it, as mentioned, and modify to tweak for their other configurations as desired, given that those types of things are small edits in comparison.
Having said that, I see this as a common request, and as such, below is a link to the same mod with the clock font modded to black from white, for those running a white taskbar.
Disable All Lockscreens for HTC Sense ROMs - Black Clock <--- Flash via Recovery
Thanks so much..now we dont need a stupid app running a process all the time. Sweet mod
good stuff u giving us... and u never stop.
thank you.
two quick question/requests... that i think was asked before... but im not sure if u had a chance to check it out.
i know that u made the rotary vanilla lock screen work on 2.1 roms before... maybe a mode for the new 2.2 would be nice.
and the biggest one... losing the htc slide-to-answer and getting the vanilla lockscreen would be freaking sweet also.
sorry for throwing requests at u man... but it seems like u have the best understanding of how to do things with the smali code.
Works great! I love not having to unlock two or three things to switch the pandoria song wile im driving

It would be mentioned if that were the case, but since it's not, it wasn't. My phone sleeps just fine. This mod uses standard android libraries for simply disabling the keyguard.
Here's a screen capture a few hours after a reboot, where I answered a few emails, then turned the screen off while using this mod. 12 mins of wake time after 1 hour, 16 mins of uptime w/o being plugged in:

I am VERY interested in keypattern only unlock, so ill be checking here often in the hopes that you figure it out. Just want to let you know that some of use are definitely interested in it.
I am definitly interested in this option as well to only have key pattern only unlock as well
Great work!!!
Once (if you plan to) you make to where I don't have to slide and all I do is enter my password, ill flash. But this is exactly what my buddy has wanted.

Unfortunately, this is one in the same as pulling off the pattern unlock only, which is kicking my butt right now. These are on my "to look at" list, but, in all honesty, a little lower than some higher priority stuff (notifications power widget / rotary lock / phone slide to answer, etc).
Good work with this.

can you share what changes need to be made to services.jar? im trying to do Windows 7 look and need to remove both lockscreens to use widgetlocket instead.
but as you know i've modified things quite a bit and can't flash over everything else. i'll make the necessary .smali edits if you tell me what file to edit

This mod is a little (actually a lot) more intensive that commenting out a few lines of code, etc, and it's not practical, IMHO, to try and post up (nor do I have the time), instructions on something like this.
It'd be easier, quite frankly, if you want, to just PM be your jar file and I'll take the time to work through / integrate for you (note, Max makes an effort and thus why I'm willing to do so for him).
well i currently have removed HtcLockScreen.apk and have WidgetPro set to disable the lockscreen. this works well in combination with WidgetLocker...
is it going to be much better with this modification? i dont want to trouble you with extra work. i'd rather have you developing new things
This update zip will replace the SystemUI.apk with one that has the wifi toggle switch enabled in the notification panel. Flash with recovery. A thanks to Cheater912 for requesting this mod.
Note: The toggle switches have been slightly rearranged per my preferences. If you would prefer do have a different order, post reply below.
Please note that there are different versions for stock and for beans rom. Beans are marked accordingly. However,the launcher you are using does not matter.

ICS Blue Mod EDIT: Ghosting should be fixed now
I will not be accepting custom requests for the ICS Blue series due to the number of files involved. I apologize for the inconvenience. I wasn't expecting such a huge amount of traffic and requests coming in. Thanks for being a great and active community. I will work to develop a solution with which to allow customized versions of it in the near future. I might create an ICS blue version for the second most popular toggle configuration based on dl count. Most likely one with MobileData in the first section.
The current configuration is as follows:
-Toggle Order: BT/Wifi/GPS/Orientation/Sound/PowerSave/Airplane/DrivingMode/MobileData/Sync
-All Toggles are themed blue
-Battery Icon is themed blue
EDIT: GREEN BEANS IS FIXED!! (no really, it is this time. tested + confirmed)
Both stock and beans versions are available. See attached
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To-Do List (bean support where noted) REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED (SEE EXPLANATION BELOW)
-kill gps crosshairs (multiple requests) See here for progress
-stock with wifi instead of screen rotation (stam2000) [In Progress]
-wifi/sound/mobiledata/screenrotate/airplane/powersave (cvballa3g0) [In Progress]
-remove "battery is full" notification (revolt1) See here for progress
-color date ICS blue (Schaweet)
-AntiToggle w/ ICS Blue battery (aatrek)
-Wifi/BT/GPS/Airplane/Orientation/Sound/DrivingMode/MobileData/Sync (Zoandroid)
-No Animation (MAD Industries)
if you are on this list and you are using the bean rom and the entry is not marked for bean, please send me a PM so I can correct it
CLOSED: Because I need to develop a system to more quickly and dynamically generate these files. This will allow a greater level of support as well as personalization. The tradeoff is time. I will have to devote a certain amount of time to this project instead of the requests once I am through with the current list. Rest assured if you are on the list right now, you have priority. Thank you for all the positive feedback this thread has gained. It's had much more impact than I could have imagined.

Sure. You will want to decompile /system/app/SystemUI.apk using apktool. (dont forget to apktool if framework-res.apk so you dont get decompile errors, also make a backup of SystemUI.apk) Then go to /SystemUI/res/values/arrays.xml and you will find a quicksettings array. That will list both the order and type of toggles. You just add/remove/move the lines around.
EDIT: Also, you cant just recompile and push to phone. You must recompile and pull the resources.arsc out of the new apk and then slip that into the original apk file that you pulled.
If you need more specific help, join me on freenode. #verizons3

That is a significantly more amount of work. This is just a quick hack. That doesn't mean it wont be done though. I'll look into it. That's usually the sort of thing to include with a rom.

Yes, I updated the OP with an option for stock. Also, can you confirm this is now working? (just making sure)
Dumb noob question
What does "flash with recovery" mean?
If I already have a rooted phone, can I just rename the existing SystemUI.apk and copy this one into its directory with Root Explorer?

Since the carriers were split up and the most posts in the original thread came from the AT&T themers, I think we should make that the main thread.
[All Carriers]Touch Wiz Themeing Questions
Please post in the thread linked above so we can keep all the info in one thread.
Since themeing Samsung's TouchWiz UI is not quite as simple as AOSP, and sometimes even device specific, I thought it would be nice to have thread for the themers here to help each other, post tips and things like that so we can all learn and get some killer themes going on this thing.
Also, (if this gets becomes a sticky) we can keep the themeing question threads to a minimum.
For those of you that don't know me, I've been themeing Android for about a year and a half now. I started on the Epic 4G then moved over to the Nexus S 4G. I'm always willing to help others at time permits.
Happy Themeing!
Since the US carriers were combined into one forum, please note the carrier for you device when posting.

I think there will be many great themes. Hopefully a few will be from me.
Themed the E4GT....and I'll be theming the shizzzz out of the SGS3.
I havent themed in a while so I had to dust off the good ole apktools last night. Ya I'm need a refresher course lol
Dont have my phone yet but I started to poke around just to get a feel for things.
Well, with all the US variants merged to together this could get sticky in here. Hopefully we don't have any issues with soft bricks, data mishaps or anything like that like we did in the Galaxy S days from using themes for different carriers.
i have a version of systemui i modified for att
I have custom battery icons (not 1% as i used 7zip instead of a full rebuild)
i was able to change the battery icons,
loudness/slilent icon, airplane icon, wifi icons, alarm icon etc.
but for some reason the signal icon changes are not being applied.. i tried clearing cache, and dalvek cache.. still no go..
CAnnot figure out where it is getting the old icons from.. looked in framework-res as well but as far as i can tell they are not in there..
I have changed these sucessfully before in ics on my sgs ii..
anyone have any ideas?

Since Gingerbread those have been called out from the systemui. If you are running an odexed rom, there's your problem. Many of the png's are loaded in the odex file and cannot be changed just by editing the apk.

nope with the 7zip method (read up on it) you dont need that.. you just swap .png right in the .apk(s)
it is the stock rom\
and i succesfully did the same thing in the sgs ii systeui (and those icons are in there since i can see them).. however, maybe you are correct in that there are another copy in the .odex.. but it would be strange..

It's more than likely that it's loading files from the odex. Can try deleting that but you might lose status bar lol

faithfully waiting for the first 1% battery mod for stock one.. (if it combines the .odex into the .apk) for stock then i can put my own icons in on top and then i can delete the .odex

Wow, I had never looked at the files yet on this phone. I've been trying to work on some AOSP themes with my Nexus S. I got the framework-res and twframework-res to decompile, but can't get the systemui to decompile. If you can give me some help on getting the systemui to decompile, I'll look for it.
Edit: Nevermind, got it.
Edit 2: I have not tried this, but taking an "educated guess" I would look at this in the values/drawables.xml:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#ff000000</item>
If you want to change that to an image can change that to:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">@drawable/pulldown_bg</item>
then make an image named pulldown_bg and put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder.
Or (This is what make's me think this is right)
Look at the drawable/status_bar_expanded.xml and find:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/notification_header_bg"
and change that to:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/pulldown_bg"
making the image as above.
If it's not this then the other possibility I found was "notification_tracking_bg" which the color is called for in the drawables.xml and is linked in the status_bar_tracking.xml
Let me know if either works.

wow, because I just got a ton of errors, and I just had to download the 64bit version of java sdk, I forgot to do that when I got the new laptop last week. But this is what I just seen
Information
when flashing viperone, the htc messaging app did not support group messaging or visual voice mail
there have been people (even I) who have replaced the stock messaging app with ours and ended up with MMS size issues. these sizes where 100K, 200K and 300K
this is the stock htc messaging app
after following the instructions, you will have group messaging, visual voicemail, and the normal MMS sizes of 200K, 500K and 1200K
Instructions
download the .zip
reboot into recovery
flash via recovery
reboot
plug phone into pc and use the following adb command (NOTE: this will reset most settings within HTC Sense. etc.. turns ringer to silent, turns gps location off, and a reset the messaging settings)
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity
if you are not near a pc, download and install terminal emulator and type the following
Code:
su
am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity
if your screen is on, this will flash up the white HTC screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to chnage your MMS size limits to whatever, check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51991250&postcount=16
Downloads
download: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407587101 (this will add VVM, but will not work if you have enabled extreme powersaver mode. the message icon will not launch when in extreme power saver mode)
md5: 45dac35377a8fc9ef46556435b5accd4
download: http://d-h.st/Ej7 (thanks to andybones, this works with extreme powersaver mode, but you LOSE VVM tab and you will be reset to low mms size limits. just run the above intructions again, starting at step 5)
download: http://d-h.st/RdC (thanks to andybones for the link, Hawknest for the mod, same as download above, it just adds message notifications)
Bugs
depending on the download you choose, download #1 which has vvm included
this breaks messaging on extreme powersave mode
after extreme power saver comes on then goes off; google play store does not have data. - to fix this issue, go to settings > apps > clear data for google play

they will receive it, but depending on their carrier it may get compressed or it may come in they full size
Oh ok as long as they receive it still thatss fine. What's verizon send limit then? I flashed your zip and works great so far with VVM. Just need to do the adb thing to get the higher limits.
I see 1200kb is the highest you guYs state on here. Is that the highest verizon will send and other customers will receive? Thanks

the stock size limits were 200K 500K and 1200K
I'm assuming you can change them yourself. if you want to experiment, it is located here:
Code:
adb pull /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
open default.xml with notepad++ and locate somewhere around line 1955
Code:
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size1">200K</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size2">500K</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size3">1200K</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size_Choose">1200K</item>
change those values. I think the vaules 600K, 1000K and 3500K will work
save the file then push it back to the phone
Code:
adb push default.xml /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
or edit that file with root explorer with the above
then run the command to refresh htc sense
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity
EDIT: that did work heres a screenie
Hey I am hoping that you might be able to do me a huge favor. I would really like to use venoms dark theme with the app, but if I flash the theme with this app installed the app disappears as the theme install a different resources.arsc. So was hoping that you might be able to decompile both and theme it manually or possibly give me some pointers on why my machine won't decompile properly. I am attempting to use spktool 1.5.2 by ibotpeaches.

I don't know too much about theming, but if youre decompiling an HTC app, you need to make sure you install the frameworks.
I think it's something like- if d com.HTC.resources.apk
I read the venom theme thread, they will have a Verizon beta tester, as someone already posted about it

Awesome thank you thats what I was missing. I was trying to use framework-res-htc.apk and the second resource. Have it working now. Will also see if I can mod it to work with extreme power mode.
I'm having problems not receiving notifications. I have to go into the messaging app to see if I got any new messages. Any ideas?
The one!
*UPDATE*
Easier method using ADB commands from luisshnyder and I.
Go on ADB commands, and type: "adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168"
0,0,0,-X is the value that determines how much you push the navigation bar down off the screen. In luisshnyder's experience with a s8, and s9 he found that -210 is a good value for X. However, I had issues in some apps and used Snapchat (with my camera covered for a black background) to pinpoint a position where the navigation bar disappeared. This was a value of -168 for X. This means that I can now send snaps fine as before with a higher value the UI scales off the screen making it impossible to send snaps with text. This was tested on an s8+ however. Of course, if you want to return the navigation bar back to its original position just use 0 as a value for X.
Again thank you to luisshnyder for the help in finding this method.
Hello,
I have posted this as a reply over on the thread "Getting rid of Galaxy S8 Navigation Bar - Full screen navigation" by " juliang22" but wanted to try and get this solution out there as I know how hard it was for me to try and find a working solution without a root.
*Note*
I have only tested this on a Galaxy S8+ unlocked.
This method assumes you already have the apps installed for your new gesture keys that are explained in the original post of this thread and have cloned it successfully.
There is a small fee to this method but I can't for the life of me find another way.
This method may be out there already somewhere but I couldn't find it or at least find instructions for someone like me.
*Method*
Ok so first you will need to install the following apps on your device:
Substratum
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum&hl=en
Andromeda
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.andromeda&hl=en
[Substratum] Samsung System Mods
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=substratum.draco.systemmods&hl=en
Immersive - Low-Level Immersive Mode
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draco.immersive&hl=en
You will get a red box when opening andromeda but this is fine, I will explain this in a bit.
Next open the immersive app and enable immersive full from within it. (Note you will have to go onto a computer to run the adb command from within cmd.exe. Just type it as it tells you to)
Once you have done this, open Andromeda. A red box should appear. Go back onto your computer and install the appropriate program for your machine from step one of this thread "https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682"
Extract the downloaded file and open the readme.txt file. Plug your device into your computer. Then click on the "start_andromeda" file, run it then hit any key.
Return to your device and substratum should open fine. The andromeda desktop client should connect fine and you should get a green box when checking the status. Substratum will then reopen and you should see the samsung system mods as a black box option upon launch.
Click on the system mods option. Scroll down to the orange system ui and toggle the check box on the right. Then click the down arrow below it and search for "Oreo (S8) Narrow Nav" Click this. Then click the grey circle at the bottom right and select "build and enable".
Once you have done this go back within the app. Click "manager" at the bottom and then select the check box next to the narrow nav overlay you just "built". Click the grey circle again and choose "enable selected".
I have been faffing around with methods for hours now so I don't know if it is required to restart your phone but I did and it seems to be working fine. Hey now I seem to have the hard press function back over the original method in this thread.
Sorry if my instructions aren't clear but this is my first time at this. If you need a hand I'll be more than happy to try and help but to be honest I was so excited to get this to work after hours of experimenting.

I did this and it seems to work, my only issue being that technically when I swipe up, the navigation bar is still there (but completely invisible). I use LMT launcher, so instead of swiping up and to the option I want, I swipe up and LMT floats above the space where the navigation bar would be. That was just enough to have me shelf the idea until something slightly better is out there. That being said, if you're using other navigation means, this might be the right option for you!

Looks like you've only enabled immersive mode. Have you definitely built and enabled the overlay through substratum. Try resetting your phone or retrying as this does work according to others? Also might want to try disabling the dot that samsung lets you use to hide the nav bar. Might conflict with the immersive mode app.

I'd honestly just try it over. Make sure you enable full immersive mode from the app I linked and not from any other app. Turn off the dot feature.
Work around that works
I've tried every single method here, and nothing did the trick for me, so i found a work around for myself, and decided to share, cause i've been frustated trying and trying after updating to oreo.
Assuming you know your work around on ADB commands, and do the basics like turn on immersive status:
1. turn on immersive status bar;
2. go on ADB commands, and type: Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-210
( 0,0,0,-x is the value that determines how much you wanna push the nav bar off the screen, on my galaxy s8 and s9 -210 is the sweet spot, but you can trial and error till you find your devices sweet spot) ( to revert to origianl just type Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
3. install all in one gestures, work well, and very customizable and easy to use: (search on playstore)

This is a really interesting way of doing it, thanks for sharing. Does this act like the old method for doing it on nouget where the nav bar is effectively disabled and not there? Will have to give this a go. What does the keyboard look like? Could you post a picture? Also by immersive status bar do you mean the nav bar?

I would. But can't post pictures since I just signed in today to the platform and need 10 posts to post links and pictures. I think. Can't post links either. I tried to post link to my Google drive :crying:
Is there other way that I can share the pictures with you?

I never had that issue. I used the little paper clip to attach it as a file?

Immersive status bar is the bar at the top. But that's optional. I just don't like to see clock and those informations up there so I turn it off. So my screen is fully immersive. Everything works well. I really want to share pictures so you guys see how awesome it looks. Maybe I'll share them with you and you repost them here please?
