I searched and came up with nothing. Is there a MOD available to reduce the size or hide the soft key bar all together (restoring with some gesture maybe)?
The idea being you would have more screen real estate at all times. The reality is we don't truly have a 4.65" screen, its more like 4.4" (unless watching video). This becomes especially annoying when using the browser...those soft keys take up a good .25" of screen real estate!
I would even be happy to cut the soft key bar pixel-width in half and use the 3 small dots like in the camera app.

I may have gotten this one wrong, but AFAIK the "buttons" we have below the screen are just a part of the screen's extended touch-sensitive layer. This should also be true for Diamond2's/Touch Pro2's zoom bar. Which brings me to the main question.
Is it possible to simulate the zoom bar of HTC's new PDA generation on the HD's hard buttons area? Can we create such a module/program/whatever that would let us use the zoom bar by swiping a finger on the area below the screen?
Call -> End call
Zoom in
End call -> Call
Zoom out
that sounds quite interesting. maybe theres already something possible with some modification in apps like sensor scroll e.g
Well, this could theoretically replace one of the axes of the missing D-pad (probably the x-axis).
Yes, It's possible.

I'm already start the development and finish about 60% already.
I will upload the zoom bar on hd movie later.
Does some one happens to know visible pixel height? notification bar takes cca 40px and soft keys around 80 i think, but i would appreciate if some one knows exact pixels.

ok, so if anyone will be interested in this, android pixel calculations are not so simple, found some infos

But for simple things like wallpapers, i measured that visible height is 1133px (for 316dpi), that way notification bar and soft keys won't cut the image, correct me if i missed something.
Hi guys. I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Nexus with no screen defects (except for black splotches that only show up on black screen in a pitch dark room, so that doesn't matter). My brightness usually remains around 15%. It's been only 2.5 months, and I've noticed something. If the screen is displaying WHITE (with the top bar and the navigation keys hidden), the top-right of the screen has a slightly blue tint (at the place where the clock, WiFi, and the signals are displayed, and these elements are usually blue as you might know). I know I'm acting like a little OCD, but that's what my observation is. I don't want my beautiful screen to depreciate this way
My question is, how do I avoid this burn-in?
In addition to that, I also want to hide the on-screen navigation keys (but that's not a priority right now, would be good if you could help with that as well). In short, I want to avoid all sorts of burn-in to this AMOLED screen due to elements that are constantly displayed on the screen (like the navigation keys area, the status bar (and the clock, battery etc.).
Sorry if this is a repeated post or if this isn't the correct section. I've searched the forums but didn't find a solution.
Thanks in advance...
There really isn't much you can do about the burn in, specially on SAMOLED displays, it's part of their life cycle. One thing that does come to mind to slow down the burn in is to use something like PA's PIE, which turns the nav and status bar areas into usable real estate.
I have a N7(running marshmallow) setup to do screen mirroring to a TV for displaying documents in a conference room. But the N7's ratio causes wasted TV real estate because of black bars on the sides, nav bar on the bottom and status bar at the top.
In my current solution I've resized the display to 1920x1080 and changed the density so everything looks right. I've also removed the nav bar and am using pie controls. This causes a couple problems though, any action that requires a swipe down/up from the edge of the screen doesn't work(unless you are very precise with where you start your swipe), and some of my users are struggling with pie controls(they'll eventually get used to it, I think). But...
The perfect solution would be if I could have it cast only the 1920x1080 portion of the screen which would eliminate the black bars and most of the nav bar from showing on the tv. Is there anyway to modify the screen area that is being cast?
If not is there at least a fix for the swipe up/down when the display is smaller than the physical screen?
My screen is burned in there and it's driving me crazy I don't want it to get worse (like when I'm watching YouTube or gaming), so Id like something transparent and for the soft keys , see through not brought white (so just a dim outline ideally). Also, is there anyway to fix the burn in? Thanks!
chat to google and they will replace it
I use simple control app , you can download it in playstore. There is many options like auto hide
