Today, I tried to use Nougat's notification importance in SuperMan ROM 7.0, without remembering it (the ROM) controls system UI properties in "SuperMan Settings Free".
Without acknowledging that, I tried many times to change some apps notification importance although it said "App determines importance for each notification" and obviously it wouldn't work.
Rebooting the phone, the systemUI process stops continously without letting me use the phone.
So, I'm guessing the problem was activating Google's system UI tuner in Android 7.0. I don't want to restore my phone.
My question to developers is: Is there any file.prop that activates (and so, disactivates) the option of having Google's system UI tuner?
I think it might be a boolean somewhere that just needs to be set to false and my phone might be fine without backup/restore.
If there's not this possibility, how can I backup like TitaniumBackup does from root?

I was trying to develop a custom ROM to operate Acer Iconia A500 in Kiosk mode. i.e., Hide system notification bar, Turn off system updates, allow only our app to run and secured access to settings panel. While for
1. hiding system notification bar - I can disable SystemUI.apk
2. To turn of system updates - Asus and other devices have SystemUpdater.apk or Updater.apk. But looks like Acer does not have it.
3. Allow only our app to run - Is there any modification I need to do of applications.apk?
4. Secured access to settings panel - This can be done through a pwd/login through the app as well.
But my question is, Is there any ROM out there which will help me achieve all the above? Since, I am just starting on this guidance from XDA members would help me tremendously.
Thanks,
Theja
Any inputs!

ideas for you:
-use a ROM that has updates disabled.
-use gesture control from the play store to hide the system bar, and make it a complicated gesture, so that people won't accidentally show it
-either make it so your app does not need the back and menu buttons, or make simple gestures for them (EG, swipe with one finger from the right bezel)
hope this helps

There are no roms that are currently built.You would have to get with one of the Rom Dev's, and have them put together a custom job.
Updates, can be removed by removing FDUpdater and/or FWserviceupdater. I generally remove both from my roms (usually can't remember which does what)
Notification bar can be nuked by changing the xml and commenting the command lines. Then recompiling. The issue would be, when opening the settings app. You'd have no nav more than likely.
Having only one app that can run, would require some extreme expertise. And some extreme stripping of the rom. It can be done though, at least with about 95% of the apps. A couple of apps, might have to be left, as they are linked to either system or framework. Maybe.
As with settings access, and password control over it, not sure if this can be done easily. Would have to check password control apps to use as an overlay.
Like I advise, get with a Rom Dev would be your best option.
Hi there.
Due to app recommendations here and elsewhere I installed a few lock-screen applications. But (due to TouchWiz?) none of them work. I downloaded (for example):
DashClock Widget
Korean Vocab Widget
PieControl
And a few more that I already uninstalled / forgot. I checked the "Lock Screen" and "Display" settings (as well as the settings of the above apps), but there were no new options in the former two settings. Nor did any changes within the apps' settings help.
How can I make sure that those apps / widgets will work in the future? Or should I give up all hope?
I am willing to root my system, but not more. I am mostly happy with TouchWiz, but that Samsung dictates all customization is a bit annoying.
So far, cheers
By default you are unable to access the system UI tuner in emui. With this app (ALL CREDIT TO LEEDROID) you are able to add various shortcuts to your quick settings tiles. One of these is UI tuner, which will bring you to the settings unlike holding the settings cog.
Note that this method is sometimes rather buggy when getting to the menu, and it works best if your settings application is cleared from recent apps.
Just download the app, hit edit in your quick settings, drag the UI tuner to your quick settings and you're set to go.
Don't give up if it won't work on the first press! Clear your recent apps and give it another shot.

I discovered this a while back on the Mate 9, but unfortunately most of the functions don't work so there's really no point to it.
I tested this, but if I'm right, not many of those new settings in System UI tuner work in Honor 8. I did not get Power notification controls to do anything new (no new settings appeared in app notification settings). Similarly turning on Do not disturb mode shortcut seemed to once flash the options in the volume popup, but after that... nothing. The only thing I managed to get to work was to remove icons from status bar.
Or did I do something wrong?

No, you did it correctly. Some of the settings may not work properly due to the EMUI skin. The issues you listed are probably why honor had it hidden in the first place. But there are still some useful settings in there.
There is simpler method to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm8PEYKrjrw
However SystemUI is very limited, nothing useful to do
Hello everyone,
This time I have gone a bit too far and uninstalled more system packages including nearly all of Samsung stuff. The phone works perfectly but only one thing is missing. Lockscreen clock. Unfortunately, I do not know which package shows that widget.
Can anyone give me a hand?
Try installing Always On Display as a system app, I recommend this particular version as it is the most recent one available for the S8: 3.2.80.4.
Again, I'd install it as a system app as you may experience unexpected behaviour otherwise.
Trying to access the System UI Tuner through Nova Launcher/Widget/Activities/System UI Demo but the app keeps crashing when I try to access. Anyone else having this issue, find a fix, or find another way to access the System UI Tuner?
Same problem. Would like to know how others are accessing it.
I thought that was just a stock Android thing, no?
Same here with my S10e. I think Samsung is trying to prevent us from removing the icons from the status bar.
If you go to settings and click on the search icon and search for "Status bar information", you can select/deselect items from the list like Time, Date or Battery Power.
However, it does NOTHING even if you deselect all and items like clock still persists in the status bar.
Use this:
NiceLock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/themes/app-nicelock-lock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908649
You can hide everything + do much more
Same here, I just want to show seconds on my clock using System UI Tuner but I still cannot access it using S10.
