Full Nav Bar Customization - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title would suggest, I've found some Xposed based Nav Bar changes but mainly to the style of the buttons, I'm looking for something which has DPI changes (tweak box doesn't work for me with this function)....also something that adds a fourth button.
thanks

Nothing that I've come across gives me the option to place a FOURTH soft key.

I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as you but you can change and add 5 soft keys (navigation buttons?) under Settings, Display and Home touch buttons.. Then Button combination. Here you can drag buttons and rearrange your nav bar. .. Sorry if this is not what you're looking for
:good:

Request: Flashable transparent softkeys

Anyone have a link to a tutorial or something where I can learn how to make my softkeys transparent? Maybe some with a 50% opacity? Thanks in advance for any help! And yes, I searched...

Have you seen the new Ubuntu Phone demo? It would be great if we had gestures like that on 4.2.1, too. No more softkeys, just pure gesture control

Sure did. It looks nice, but we'll see how polished it becomes. Android has come a long way.
That's what I think, but it seems that under to get them it will be a hard Work

Bump...
I am surprised, this hasn't been done.... I am too looking into this.
I use FullScreen Toggle to disable the Nav Bar (there is also an option for that in the AOKP-roms) and GMD Gesture Control from the Market to create gestures for the missing buttons.
For the back-button I have a gesture that starts at bottom left and just goes up, for home I have one in the middle and so on. So you "swype" from below the display into the display on the positions where the buttons would normally be.
The settings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2oiqk145z7olo/2013-01-04 18.43.54.png
An app which is doing the following would be good:
hiding the softkeys
with a gesture showing the softkeys for 10 Seconds or so and hide them again
all the other gesture apps just enable me to set a gesture for back home menu etc, but a gesture for hiding and showing the softkeys would be great
edit:
LMT is able to run a script via gesture:

so it would be cool to have a script doing what i need, but i don't know how to create one

+1 would be cool!
GMD Gesture can do gesture to hide and unhide the softkey. But is does not have any setting to automatic hide it after a few second.

[Q] How to Enable Nav bar with customization?

So has anyone been able to enable the Nav bar?
I tired searching and it seems like it would just be a buildprop edit. Since I dont trust the recovery currently(heard too many bricks). I wanted to know if anyone had done this yet.
Now once enabled, is there a way to edit the buttons, such as color size of height, or add other buttons/rearrange.
Once thats done, is there a way to disable the capacitive buttons.
My device is Jovi's stock rooted odexed rom. I have twrp and running xposed with some modules.
Thanks
EDIT:
So i just tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build prop but SystemUI keeps crashing with no stats bar.
I tried a soft nav bar root app from the playstore and got the same thing
Gravity Box yields same results
Anyone have any suggestions?
so anyone get this to work?

I haven't.
Are you talking about soft keys at the bottom of the screen for home/back/search/etc? If so I would love to see a solution. It sucks not having a search button. Ideally I'd have the bar on the bottom and turn the physical home key into a camera button.
Not the solution you want but. ultimate dynamic navbar... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198

Here's how I have my phone set up.
I set the navbar height to zero and enabled pie controls. By default, the navbar keys are pre-installed in pie, and you can reorder them however you want.
Then you can set up to 10 targets on it, with the option to long press (you set the duration ~ I have five targets plus long press on 3 of them).
Getting rid of navbar gives you more screen real estate. More screen is good. Plus it gets rid of that pesky line.
I also set my dock to auto hide after two seconds. I know that it's on the bottom. I swipe up and it appears. I don't need to see it on every homescreen. Hey! More real estate!
Thank you but I really dont like swiping around whole screen to see keys.
I did that with some xposed module, I think it was gravitybox. I've changed the order of the buttons.

Okay, it was just a suggestion.

On CyanogenMod, how can I reduce the height of the navigation bar / icons?

Hi,
I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 to the LG3.
This will be the first time I have a phone without physical buttons and I feel that too much space is taken up by the navigation bar.
Is there any way I can reduce the height of the navigation bar / buttons either within CM or using something else?
Thanks

System UI hidden settings missing Nav Bar options

I noticed with the new January update that when I unlock my hidden system ui settings that it does not have an option to rearrange the nav bar buttons? Does anyone know why or another way to rearrange these buttons?
You were on a custom ROM/using a mod pack before. There is a mod pack in the themes section! Also weta rom will be updated tomorrow as said by the dev!

Did you hit the "pencil" button? That allows me to rearrange icons.

That option is not available normally. It requires SystemUI.apk to be modified to add the option back.
