I remember one of the first ROMs i flashed on my nexus was Code Name Android, and it had the option to hide the navigation bar on the lock screen only.
is this something that can easily be implemented into JB? i noticed it was taken off of ROMs because it interfered with incoming calls when the screen was on (wasn't able to answer call) just curious if it was ever fixed or if this is a simple mod that i could do myself with some layout tweaks or something.
anyone have a clue?
I use Widgetlocker - lock screen replacement app, and it has an option to hide the navigation bar. I highly recommend it, very customizable with tons of sliders/themes to choose from and is very light on using system resources and draining battery.

you sure about that? i know it has the option to hide the navigation bar buttons, but the black bar is still there.
i want the wallpaper to go from the notification bar all the way down to the bottom of the screen.

Oh okay. If that's the case then you'll need to go a different route. Widgetlocker just blacks it out.

FNV also has it. I knocked mine all the way down to 0, and it's gone. I'm also using GMD gesture control instead for navigation purposes, getting the most out of my nexus 4's screen

What about the status bar on top. Is there a option or mod to hide it all the time til you swipe down or something. I know the hidebar app hides both the top bar and the bottom bar at all time. But you cannot swipe down or show only the status bar without showing the navbar. Anybody knows

Lots of options open up when you get the bought app. I built my gestures to make triangles and it works really well. They explain everything and make it pretty straightforward.

I use ADW Launcher EX and it allows you to do that in settings. I believe other 4.0+ launchers have it built in.

Im also interested in this, buttons are a tad too big, any suggestions?
Just saw the Huawei Ascend, they have an option for minimizing the on screen buttons, next to the back button.. Very nice! Is it difficult to make for our Nexus4 ?

Not everyone uses AOKP though. I like stock and have been looking for the same exact thing. This is would be useful if it was universal
very nice feature.
i hope the next nexus have something like this..to hide/unhide the nav bar anytime you want while onscreen.. the aokp using time out..can be frustrating at time..
In AOKP you can also have a quick toggle for that previously mentioned auto-hide Navbar feature - so you can turn the feature on before playing a game or whatever (and still have quick access to the navbar buttons): Screenshot.
You can also add an option to enable/disable the navbar from the Power Menu (just straight up disable it, without the autohide): Screenshot.
Though I do agree, having a button on the navbar to quickly minimize it (like the Huawei ascend) would be pretty awesome.

Downlaod the app mentioned above GMD Gesture. You have to set it up in settings where it hides the nav bar/status bar on screen unlock, and show nav/status bar on screen off. There seems to be an issue if you dont have the nav bar "showing" while the screen is off, when you get a call your screen will not turn on. It took me awhile to get it set up correctly. Now it works, but if I have my screen on doing anything on the phone and the nav bar is hidden if I get a call I still will not see who it is unless I push the button to turn my screen off the back on. One more thing if you dont use a live wallpaper when waking your screen up your background will be all black for a sec or two then your background comes up. Live wallpapers have no problem. Other than those issues it works fine. I have another gesture setup to manually hide/unhide the nav bar also, if I did want to use it. Oh yea, the nav bar and notification hide/unhide together fyi. Hope you're not to confused after reading that lol.

No confusion, and thanks for the reply, but this seems way too broken at the moment. If you have to do this many work-arounds and have this many issues you have to deal with, then the app should be free not $5.56.
I am interested in the single button on the navbar as well. Bump this hoping there is a dev that can mod something here. deodexed/stock.
+1 for single button! Cool
R: Minimize on screen nav-keys
Try full!screen, root, free..
Imho the best

it something to do with the dock divider, you can go to the setting and find it there, if not mistaken it's in the navigation bar setting.
Hello!
I actually use a Xperia Z with softkeys hidden and the LMT Pie mod.
The problem is that I like the navbar in apps like chrome, phone, messages etc.
But I would like to see them dissapear in games, on the homescreen and lockscreen.
Would it be possible?
Thanks.

In fact, I want an automatic mod.
More simple, I would like the navbar to appear when the notification bar is showed.
In games, in the gallery, and on the homescreen, there are disabled (by stock apps or by features or others, like with nova)
Is that possible to detect if the notification bar is showed, and if it is, show the navbar and disable the pie?
Full!screen+ does that
As im new, cant post a link
U have ltm the does the navigation bar thing for u when u press in a certain spot in the screen and full screen toggle hides it. So what do u want. The softkeys are hidden permanent but ltm launcher pops his own half circle navigation buttons on the screen. Basically the same thing just the screen stealing software buttons are gone. Is that not for Ur satisfaction? It works perfectly.

In fact I would like the same as full!screen+, but with a lmt pie that pops up instead of these two quarters of round at the bottom.
EDIT: full!screen+ doesnt work, Nova shows a black bar (without softkeys) and many craches of "UISystem" (not systemUI)
Well u can make ltm launcher also open up the navigation bar left and right doesn't has to be bottom also u can expand the navigation bar and make many short cuts with it.

Hey guys,
I had this idea that seems pretty obvious to me but I'm not sure if its feasible.
Is there a way to build a kitkat ROM where the nav and status bar are always consistently translucent (like in the homescreen?)
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
What is it going to display? For the launcher it is displaying the wallpaper. But nothing to display when you open an app. In case of Paranoid Android it displays a white bar if I make it transparent. And if you enlarge the area available to the app and add the translucent bars, it will block you from accessing some parts of the apps.

Isn't it possible to have paranoid androids per app color feature and to add translucency along with the background color of the status and nav bars though?

Better to run in extended desktop mode w/PIE controls to take full advantage of our 4.65" screen.

I see..so i guess each individual app needs to go ahead and apply their background in the navbar and status bar areas for KitKat devices...which should be really simple, but for some reason they haven't gotten around to it yet..it would make android so much cooler looking..it's basically native per app color that should be instant..
Anyway this is just mu thoughts on the matter and what i would do if i were developing for kitkat devices (which most major apps are already doing, but no UI enhancementa yet)
Thanks for the reply man :thumbup:
