I installed SkyRaider 3.5, everything is great. But I'd like to not have the toggle widgets on the notification pull-down.
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried making /system/skyraider/widget.user/custom.txt blank, but that didn't work.
It is in the SERVICES JAR. PM the developer. He can point you in the right direction.

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787&highlight=Sexy+Rosie
Then go down to where it says "Power Widget Toggles *NEW*"
It tells you there.
That doesn't tell us how to remove it altogether.
nevermind when I rebooted they came back weird
Just removing the text will not remove the notification widgets. The text file allows you to modify what is in the power bar. Learning it blank gives you a default.

Yea, i noticed this. Hopefully ihtfp69 will chime in here.
The answer will be found in the service.jar file. You may be able to remove the file that represents the Power Bar. I am not sure if you need to remove all the files or if you could just remove the one representing the power bar. The other option would be to pull the services.jar out of the prior version of SR and swap them out...
Have you PM'd ihtfp69 to see if he can produce a NO POWER MOD zip? The other person that may be able to help out is Bezerker.

I have, got repsonse today. He says it will be in 4.0.
He suggests putting a single | character in the custom.txt file, it might disable it.
Hello, today I was trying to change the soft keys on the galaxy nexus using an explorer, i ended up putting the .png images on the SystemUi/res/drawable-xhdpi folder and the phone rebooted and came up with no status bar and no soft keys. Had a nandroid backup but deleted all user data without thinking about restoring because i thought the backup would stay... like on my rooted incredible. Any help on how to get soft keys and status bar back? thanks
anyone know any fixes? i need one fast please!

please help on reflashing now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20818957
i did what this guy said to and wiped data , formatted system and wiped the dalvik cache and when booted the phone stays on google with the unlocked icon
I think you may have wiped the system after you reflashed the rom. Your phone won't go past Google because there's nothing there. Power off and go back to recovery from fastboot.
Is all you did was put the png's in SystemUI? There's XML and smali code that needs to be edited/added for this to work as well.

Not true. All he has to do is replace the icons and it should work. OP try replacing the icons on your computer. I like 7zip. I just right click on the apk, choose open archive, and navigate to the folder of interest. Drag the images you want in, confirm the prompt, and its good to push back to the phone.
Using an explorer is what your problem is. The easiest way to get the status bar and keys back is to keep a copy of your unmodified SystemUI apk and push it with adb or simply copy it back to the /system/app directory with root explorer. After a reboot you'll be back to normal

Did it give you full screen size, or was there just a black bar at the bottom missing the icons? I am wondering if you may have stumbled on a work around for removing the bar at the bottom and getting full screen.

Its not a work around. If you're missing the top and bottom bars its nearly impossible to navigate the phone

I was talking about using the app "Button Savior". If this removes the full bottom bar then we could install Button Savior first then remove the .pngs and have the best of both worlds, as this was the same problem many of us faced who owned an Archos Gen8 tablet that was the first (that I know of) to use on screen buttons. Using Button Savior we were able to remove the on screen buttons and still have full navigation capabilities.
if you want to change PNG's files, you will need a deodex SystemUI.apk.
a normal odex SystemUI.apk will not accept it.
if you don't get any status bar or button, it means that android has failed to load the SystemUI.apk.
find the original SystemUI,apk and SystemUI.odex and re-install them should help.
Ok, I understand there are many threads as to softkey management. I, for one would love to hide these soft keys and I think I might have stumbled upon a way that it might work, but because I am not a Dev I myself don't totally understand, how Android works, so hopefully one of the Dev here could help understand what is going on here. So I have been doing a lot of searches to find a way to hide these keys, along the way I stumbled across a few threads where users were loosing their softkeys after using some of the softkey mods, I remember reading some where a user lost his softkeys do to flashing the Deodexed version of the mod while running on a Odexed Rom. I thought I would give this a try I downloaded Deodexed version of the softkey mod from this post:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394639&highlight=soft+key) and installed it on my ARHD 2.1.3 Odexed Rom. Behold upon reboot I had full screen! Great! Just a few problems though, I lost not only my softkeys, but also my notification bar at the top. I also could not set any wallpaper but only a live wallpaper. I was able to navigate without any issues as I downloaded and installed Button Savior from the market before installing the modification. Any suggestions from Dev's as to why, how, or if this could work would be great.
Not a dev but I made mine disappear when I was manually editing pngs in SystemUI.apk to mod my softkeys. I must have did something wrong.
I believe adr and his Bamf team are including this in their upcoming rom
I think they are mapping it to power and vol up or down
That would be great! I like the full screen it just looks amazing! I don't mind using Button Savior.
So you suggest removing the softkeys by breaking them and the notification bar..

No not by breaking them, I was hoping that a Dev would be able to see how or why they get removed and in doing so find a solution to hiding the keys altogether.
Eventually. Took Honeycomb a while. Supposedly the tricks in Honeycomb were patched.
They just need time. They already have abilities to rearrange and select which keys are visible plus themes and all that.

Actually seems like a pretty nice idea. Does the OS continue to draw behind the buttons, or does the screen effectively stop where they begin?
I would rather a gesture on the softkey bar (flick up/down) to show/hide it. That way you still retain the functionality of the keys, but at the same time you can utilise the full screen when you want to. Remapping these to the hard buttons sounds horrible (unless I misunderstood that?).
If it was transparent and you wanted to click something at the bottom of an app, android wouldn't know whether you wanted to click the app or the buttons.

we already have a transparent status bar successfully mod over in the themes section. and no you dont lose any function. the bar is still there, its just see-thru. so it functions identically to current usage.
anyway hiding the softkeys is something i would love. and google could have been creative, perhaps 3 finger swipe to make them appear, etc. that way 2 finger pinch to zoom wouldnt confuse it with a 3 finger swipe, twist, etc.

This would be great. I use ADW Ex on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE, and that has a swipe for its lower dock bar works great. When you don't want just swipe down, when needed swipe up.

Def want to try these! Just to verify.. These are the widget that stays at the top of all screens right? Or is it the old Search widget that is set on one screen?
Do I just use Root Explorer to back up my current Search.apk, replace & reboot?
Thanks!

These are actually the widget, as that is what a lot of people were requesting. I guess in theory, you could put one at the top of each screen, lol. I'll definitely be doing the regular one too, though within the next few days. I always install through adb, but yes, your method works too- it's just like any other system app.

Waiting for a similar one too.
Progress update, I've been at the hospital for the birth of my second child, so i haven't had a whole lot of time. I have managed to clean up the search results (what was Google thinking with that ugly gray?), but the persistent search bar is kind of hard to find the correct files to change. Might have to poke around in framework later. I'll post the search result changes later tonight.

Technically speaking you don't have to be deodexed to run a themed app as long as it doesn't call on the services of other apps. If it does, you run a high risk of getting a lot of FC's so most developers just say de-odexed only. This may run on odexed roms, but don't count on it. Make a backup of your original first if you want to try it.

Thanks for this explanation, I didn't realize that.
After some investigation, it seems that the persistent google top bar is actually located in my novalauncher.apk. There were quite a few issues with installation as a system/app (had to reflash the rom to get it to behave properly) and I'm not sure i want that headache, so i think i'll just do the widgets as they are completely self contained. If you'd like to do the persistent bar, I'll attach a NovaLancher.apk that has been themed ICS blue, but be warned- for some reason, it doesn't behave like a regular system app, so be careful.

It's a system app, so you don't "install" at all. Sounds like the easiest way for you is to use a root level explorer and copy the .apk file into the /system/app folder. It should then appear in your app drawer.
i did that and now i have lost the original and yours..
i can see the app in the system apps but i cant see it either on the app drawer or inside the apps.
What are you suggesting to do?
Thanks.
Here you guys go.
Didn't want to risk flashing the international version so I made my own for sprint.
This is just the APK - so to install follow these instructions:
Use root explorer
Download into sdcard
Paste into system/priv-app/systemUI
Change permissions to include everything (3x3 grid)
Reboot phone
Try it at your own risk ... I would recommend a backup incase anything goes wrong.
Worked flawlessly! The only thing more annoying than Samsung bloatware is Samsung bloatware cluttering the system interface. Can't wait for AOSP ROM's.
Thanks!
Works great here! It does mess with the first notification though. Another method that's supposed to get rid of SFinder and Quick Connect without affecting notifications is in this post. I tried to do it earlier but had issues with the finished apk.
