even with the use of sbp for full screen on internet explorer it would be nice to be able to hide the scroll bar and use the navigation buttons of the blue angel . I know when you click on the navigation buttons it moves to the next link but sometimes when clicking you jump half way down the page or have to click a hundred times just scroll down. So it would be best if when pressing the navigation buttons it produced a smooth scroll.
Any ideas???
*bump* sorry!!!!!!

Hi everybody,
Every time i want to switch between applications on my HD, i go to the home screen, then i press the upper right icon and i select my app.
But i was wondering if there is a way to press a button for a longer period of time and to have on the screen a choice of the running apps.
Anybody knows if there exists?
Thanks in advanced!

wktask is also good
AEButton + has this feature embedded into a selection for hard button remap. I have my end call button open a little running apps window at the swift double tap.
IMO, Wktask is the best of them all. It works exactly like on your PC. All running program appears on the taskbar. To switch, simply touch it. No need to press another button to see what's running. No need to go to home screen. To close, press and hold on that button.
I think you can't get any simpler than that
wktask is ok... but I think it looks untidy in portrai - some of the text conflicts with the status icons.
Quickmenu has a built in task manager - that's the one I use.

Not really. If you know how to adjust the other aspect of the device such as whether or not you want battery rather than date to appear, etc. I always hide my battery and use the battery meter by wktask, therefore the difference between the battery and time width does not cause inconsistent appearance at all. Mine is very tidy on every page. Whether in landscape of portrait mode, my icon positions always starts from immediately after the window start button, and end just before the H icon. The only thing is I have to hide the message bubble and let the icon come just close to the H icon. I further configure wktask such that if there is no task, then the message bubble would become visible - a small price to pay.

Fair enough, mate... everyone is different and I use the message bubble often as well as bluetooth recieve and send and I find if I have wireless and bluetooth enabled then I can lose an icon or two. Maybe the next version will have an autofit function. Who knows.
actually I use wktask and i do agree it looks a little messy.
The messy things are:
1. when you click the start button, the white glow shows up behind the wktask bar and because wktask bar is not transparent, you see a bit black box over it.
2. You can see the txt sticking out the side from under the wktask bar of some programs with long names.
3. Sometimes it hides icons.
4. I think the battery bar looks ugly. (i disabled it in mine)
These haven't stopped me using it. The Launcher is quick to load a quick list of programs you can load. I hate the tf3d task manager drop down as it is soooo laggy.
Auto resize would fix half the uglyness but i'm not holding my breath for that.

The general (1) settings permit moving the task bar size to the right & left. Personally, I hide the start menu, (setting to 0 left) because I never use it. Then, you can adjust the right size to cover text.
The best think about wktask IMHO is the icons in the task bar....switch between apps and close by clicking "x" or other options available in settings.

1. The glow is only on the window start button, not on the task icon. that is if you adjust the left edge of the wktask to touch the window start button.
2 Choose PC style in the design tab to avoid this problem.
3. I adjust the right edge of task icon to touch the H icon. Yes, it covers the notification icons but I also specify in the first tab that it should hide task list when there is no task, so that I can still see eye them by closing all task. I configured such that click and hold of x button closes all tasks so it is very easy to check if there is any notification behind the task list.
Hope this helps
Hi all,
I'd really like to know whether setting quick toolbar + full screen browsing into the stock browser does hide the software button of ICS. I mean: does it really have a fullscreen browsing that way, can I use the whole screen?
A screenshot would be really appreciated!
You know what: I own a Galaxy Note and I cannot make up my mind whether to change it or not for a Galaxy Nexus. I have an ipad2 too and maybe a note is too much. But I like big screen and maybe a nexus with its 4.65 screen it's the perfect size. However, browsing on a 4.65 screen with ICS software buttons, it's like browsing on my old Galaxy S2 in terms of visible screen. Thus browsing in real full screen would be great!
Thanks in advance
The softbuttons are still visible in fullscreen mode.
There's the labs feature quick controls which hides the address bar, also a labs feature to hide the notification bar, however nothing removes the soft buttons, they just turn into dots and dim.

Thanks for your answer!
Then the best I can achieve is to remove address bar and notification bar.
Such a pity!

Who knows, maybe one day devs will be able to hide them, like it happens for videos.
That would be great! I mean: when you have the quicktoolbar, they could insert there a back button and we could have the whole screen estate to browse!
That's what I'm hoping happens, if eventually someone manages to get them to hide from a swipe down then reappear with a swipe up or press of the power button or something, It would be awesome
Not, until we can access the bookmark via Quick Control as well.
Currently, when you enable Quick Control, you need to long-press the back button to access the bookmark.
There is no other way ...

Actually, if you go to the new tab shortcut, the bookmarks tab is in the top right next to the new tab and options button.
What if, when you didn't pay attention to the Navigation Bar at the bottom it SMOOTHLY flew down the bottom of the screen. And when you wanted to use it, you just swiped up and it responded right away!?
Wouldn't that be awesome? I don't know if it's possible to do or if Google would have to implement it. If you can do it let me know when you make it!
That's what I have set up on my MoPho, using Apex launcher. I've hidden both the dock and notification bar. When I need them, I swipe up for my app drawer and swipe down for my notifications. I press home softbutton to toggle my status bar, and also set double-tap anywhere on screen for my GoSMS to launch.
I like the clean look

Swiping up with one finger might not be a good idea. Say for example you're in the settings menu and you swipe down, either the phone will open up the notification bar or scroll down.. or both. Swiping up and swiping down with 2 fingers would be great!
Mybad, just realized that I was still in the Nexus section and not the Photon lol, time for bed :7
In some ROMS out there you already have the ability to hide the nav bar - and use these controls from the advanced power menu instead. Same option, different solution.
Does anyone know if it would possible to make a Nav bar mod which allows you to move the cursor left and right by swiping along the nav bar.
Kind of like a virtual track ball. Maybe even a new key you can add in that responds to swipes rather than press.
BUMP
I guess this a feature not many people would find useful.

Most custom roms have option to move cursor with volume buttons.
WHATCHOO TALKING BOUT WILLIS?
What i want to do is hide the nav. bar while using the onscreen keyboard - but i can't! Autohide doesn't work when the onscreen keyboard is on. This creates two problems, one when I go to tap on the spacebar I accidentally tend to tap the home button on the navigation bar instead, and two the keyboard with the addition of the navigation bar takes up so much room on this new low ceiling screen that I often cannot even see what I'm typing. I went to the Best Buy store today and spoke with their Samsung expert. She said there have been a lot of complaints about this and it effects the phones too and it started with a new update.
