[Xposed][4.2] Regaining screen space

We all know the infamous PhabletUI, don't we?
There is no simple way of getting back the TabletUI, but there are some possible workarounds
See the attached screenshot for the result...
What you need:
1) root
2) Xposed framework installed
3) Button Savior https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
4) text editor and file manager
Order of operations:
1) Install Button Savior and configure it to your liking, make sure it works
2) Install Xposed module from attachment and activate it, don't reboot just yet (sorry about the icon )
3) Edit /system/build.prop and add the following line
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
4) reboot
Enjoy!

So,
Here is the way,
Note-Do it at your own risk!! I'll not be responsible for anything!!
It is not actually rooting your device...:silly:
I'll just tell you the method...
Rest you have to figure it out how to do it because I'm not an owner of Honor 8!!! , Currently my device is Lenovo A6000 Plus
Requirements:
1. PC
2. ADB Files
3. Custom Recovery ( I recommend - TWRP above 3.0 because I've done it same way on my device)
4. Unlocked Bootloader / Fastboot (You should have it)
5. One working Data Cable
6. Minimum Knowledge of editing Build Prop
7. The flashable zip in the attachment below...
8. You with your Phone!!!....
Now Let's Start... (But 1st Try to understand carefully)
1. Download the Flashable zip & put it in your PC
2. Boot your phone into Fastboot/Bootloader ( In whatever process you want - i) Manually or ii) adb reboot bootloader)
3. Now try this cmd - fastboot boot (name of the recovery).img [But before this step you must put your recovery into the adb folder]
After this wait for few seconds... you must be booted into your recovery...
4. Go to Advance > File Manager > Navigate to system > Select build.prop > copy it to where ever storage you want (I prefer internal)
5. Hope you have mtp enable in the recovery mod, if not then reboot the phone into the normal mode then send the extracted file to your pc ( You can also use es file manager/explorer but I will tell the pc method because it is more perfect)
6. Open the build.prop with notepad ++ and try this method which is given by The Hard Gamer in his "[ROM][32bit][port]OCTOS 6.0.1 for lenovo a6000/+" post
EVERYTHINGS WORKING FINE
TO DISABLE NAVBAR EDIT YOUR BUILD.PROP......
-First obviously you need be a Root user
-Backup your build.prop to your PC or anywhere (but backup it!)
-Edit build.prop with a Root Explorer using this line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
you have to add this at the END of the .prop, save and reboot.
[FOR Marshmallow/Android 6.0]
If you're on Marshmallow (Android 6.0) the process is exactly the same, add the line at the end of the build.prop EXCEPT that you must leave 2 spaces after you added the line.
7. Put replace the build.prop file with the new edited build.prop in the flashable zip.... and put it into your root directory of internal/external storage.
8. Now repeat step 2-3.
9. Mount System, if it is already mounted then unmount it then remount it.
10. Go to install > navigate to the flashable zip > Then flash it.
11. Reboot system & Enjoy (If you Can) :angel:
Another Note :-I was here to participate in Honor 8 wining contest so, I can not exactly tell you the right process because you know (I don't own one of the amazing device)... So, If this method works then please hit like :good: & reply me with your experience... Atleast I can deserve this much..
& One important thing...
Sorry For My BAd English!!

Thanks. I was also looking for solution of this issue and your solution helped me a lot

I was looking for a method which does not involve custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, should've probably mentioned that. If I go the TWRP way then may as well root it, but then I'd lose OTA.
Don't feel comfortable doing that just yet.

I can understand what you want to say!!
But listen,
You can do the whole process without boot the phone in normal mode...
Just unlock the bootloader before the process and relock it after it...
It's that simple..
And It will automatically do a factory reset after unlocking..
My Previous phone was MMX CAnvas A1
I have done many experiments on it like these...
But At the end I still got the OTA updates... Even my SuperSu (By systemless flashable zip) is installed
And you must take some risk in your life to get better results!!
Hope you understand!!!
And press thank button if it helped!!

[Guide] How to modify Stock ROM

Hello!
Today I show you How to modify your stock ROM.
In this guide I won't use PC or other software because I want to make this guide easy for all.
Important notes:
For this guide I'll use Samsung Galaxy J3 2016, but similar principles works on other devices.
What you need:
TWRP Recovery for your device.
Root Explorer
Rooted Android Device
And APKs(See later what I think)
Step 1:Activating OEM unlock
Don't skip this step because it's the most important.
Go to Settings and tap About Phone.
Tap 7 times on Build Number and activate Developer Settings.
Enter in Developer Settings and search for OEM UNLOCK, ignore warning and activate them.
If you don't have OEM unclock don't worry you can skip this step.
Step 2: Flashing TWRP Recovery via Odin(Samsung Phones only)
If you don't own Samsung device(or device which can be rooted via KingoRoot) you can skip this step because this step is important for rooting phone.
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID
Download TWRP recovery for your device and flashable .zip file of SuperSu v2.XX(determine which version is best for your phone).
Run Odin, when Odin starts go to Options tab and de-check Factory Reset Time and Auto Reboot,
then return to main section. And click on AP button and locate your twrp recovery .tar file and than press open. Now turn of your phone and enter in Download Mode hold Power Button + Volume Down Button + Home Button and connect to PC and click on start. When green message PASS apear in Odin you successfully flash recovery.
To restart phone hold power and volume buttons for some seconds or simply remove and return battery
Step 3: Rooting phone
Enter in Recovery Mode(for Samsung device hold power+volume up+home). Swipe slider to allow modification on system partition. Tap on install and find zip file from SuperSU flashable zip and swipe slider to install zip. Wait to installation complete and reboot phone (your phone can reboot some times to complete.
Installing Root Explorer and exploring system/app and system/app-priv
Install Root Explorer and grant Root access.
Now we explore system partition, but before we start in TWRP Recovery make a backup of System partition.
Enter in system/app directory and search for bloatware and other unuseful apps, but be careful what you delete!
Now download apks from apk mirror(clean apks) and place in system/app and when you finished with placing apk files reset phone to Factory Settings.
Tips:
If you have older Android version( <5.0 Lollipop)
download and install XPosed Framework and MonsterUI from Google Play to have Lollipop Notification Bar.
If you have Samsung device with Android Lollipop 5.1.1 or newer go to system/priv-app(or app-priv) and find SecSetupWizard folder delete them and Factory Reset your phone and Voila Setup Wizard is now AOSP.
For Samsung TouchWiz Lollipop ROMs or newer you can download Material Status bar to get AOSP like experience.
If you running Samsung TW Lollipop ROM and want to have AOSP Phone and Contacts app go to system/app-priv(or priv-app) search for SecContacts_L folder and delete them, insert Google Dialer apk(downloaded from apk mirror looks for MINAPI(I USE MINAPI21) and Google Contacts apk and Factory Reset Phone. Now you free from Samsung Phone and Contacts app.
Customizing Stock ROM is so funny and you can make a new ROM(not new but different ).
If I help you Hit thanks button :victory:
And if you have suggestion write in post(s).
