Answer 1

I know my answer comes a bit late, but after assembling info from various places, I came up with this, which works ONLY ON ROOTED DEVICES:

    private void    KillStatusBar()
{
    Process proc = null;

    String ProcID = "79"; //HONEYCOMB AND OLDER

    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){
        ProcID = "42"; //ICS AND NEWER
    }

    try {
        proc = Runtime
                .getRuntime()
                .exec(new String[] { "su", "-c",
                        "service call activity "+ProcID+" s16 com.android.systemui" });
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.w(TAG,"Failed to kill task bar (1).");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        proc.waitFor();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        Log.w(TAG,"Failed to kill task bar (2).");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

This should eliminate the bottom bar on any rooted device and turn it into "kiosk" mode.
