Hi devs,
I want to remove recent apps from the status bar.
The SystemUI.apk is from Hintay's HTX Mod 0.59.1|Android 2.3.3

I browsed all the forum and tried all these methods but didn't work on 2.3.3.
The methods I tried as below:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15417961&postcount=107

I upload the SystemUI.apk and hope devs would be kind to teach me or help me to remove recent apps from the status bar.

Great thanks to you all !
Much appreciated !

There are two ways, one easy and one hard. In the hard one you kind of remove all the functionality of the recent apps section. In the easy one you just adjust the height to 0, so It's not visible. I only know the easy one :p do you know how to decompile apps? If not take a look in my guide ;-)

Then you can probably just do as the guides says or something. I haven't seen through them yet ;-) else go to res/ layout/ status bar expanded and find the line which includes recent apps or something similar. Change layout_height to 0.0dp ;-)

Edit: took a look at the guides. They are a bit more work, but you should use one of them instead, as they remove the whole thing so it will probably improve performance a bit more ;)

Thank you Habarug!
The purpose i want to remove the recent apps is just as you said it will improve performance when pulling down the notification bar.
So only adjusting the height to 0 may not improve the performance and reduce the laggy. Just my guess.:)

I've tried these guides but don't work..

But when you tried the guides, did you decompile the systemui or did you just open it with 7zip or smthing? You cannot change any xmls or smalis or stuff like that unless you decompile it :)

It seems that just editing the status_bar.xml as I explained above might help a bit on the performance ;) I have no idea about the smali edits, I cannot change smalis without guide ;)

maybe you could try to create and upload a flashable zip of your version of the ROM ... I'm sure many people who pay attention to your work

At least me
