I wrote a little app to resize the button bar on the A43/A70/A101. I've only really tested it on the A43, though I did check that it changes the virtualkeys file for the A101 and the changes looked right.
I recommend that before trying it, you back up your /system/board_properties/virtualkeys.* file.
If someone wants to donate an icon to the project (BSD license) that would be welcome.
For A101 is working flawlessly, many thanks, BTW is it possible to get auto-hide bar? Cheers

I have no idea how to do auto-hide. One can edit packages.xml to disable the bar for particular apps, but then one has no way to get out of the apps, unless they were nice enough to provide an exit button.
My suggestion is that if you play a lot of games that the buttons intrude on, you just make the buttons very small.
I added the ability to change the number, order and contents of the keys in the button bar. Unfortunately, only back/menu/home/search have button bar icons in the framework, so if you select other buttons, they will show up blank. But they should work, despite their blankness. To have fewer keys, just set some to None.
If you want to kill the button bar entirely, just set its width to zero (or else set all its entries to None).
Because of these features, the app is renamed ArchosButtons. But it's still here.
To return to the factory settings, choose "Defaults" and then "Set and reboot".

Nice work. I've removed it completely by deleting my init manually, but if I have to do it again, I'll probably use this.
I'd like to get some more test reports from A70 and A101 users. Anybody? Here's a piece of encouragement: the first two people with each of these tablets to send me a report get a free copy of the paid version of Force2SD (just email me for your copy after posting).

Filling in these icons would require changing the framework. I don't really want to do that.
A nice mod for those of us who like ebooks would be to remap the hardware volume keys to up/down, and then to add volume buttons--might be nice to extend this app to support that.
Alas, on my A43, the buttons get a little smaller than I like when I add two more. On a tablet, I can see how it might be quite useful to add buttons.
Well done!
Does this app resizes icons when they are moved to the status bar ? (I hate the archos side button bar)
thanks

This app resizes the back/menu/home/search buttons, but it does not change the icon size. So if you make bar too thin, the icons will be cut off.
Thanks for posting this - nice work! Have just tried it on my A101, doesn't seem to resize or reorder the buttonbar icons.

Does anyone know if
mount -o rw,remount /system
works on urukdroid?
Actually, from my reading, it probably should be:
mount -o rw,remount /
Could you actually try that for me? Just start up an adb shell (or a terminal emulator), and do:
su
mount -o rw,remount /
Then immediately run my ButtonsForArchos.apk (current name: I decided ArchosButtons might have trademark issues).

How about the samsung widgets? Does it needs resizing after pushing the launcher?
Is there any possibility to have a 4x5 drawer?
where is tw4 manager ?
i fin it thanks 4 this port
Calendar widget doesn't work. Nice job
Definitely making me lean towards going back to TouchWiz. How's the compatibility when you change DPI?
dock apps
good job.
I tryed to put it on my galaxy s II, but I don't undestand how to add icon apps in the dock space. If I try to move icon over the dock there is a trash icon. At the moment in the dock there is only the application icon.
Go to app drawer then press edit
Thanks man good job
works very well.
by cons but I have no preference options launcher is in notification?

Hmm, it has potential, but far too many annoyances to make it usable. The biggest being that there is no way that I can see to be able to rearrange the icons in the dock, who the hell wants the app drawer launcher on the right? And, like Touchwiz, the dock and home-screen scroller dots take up way too much screen estate.
Meh, excited to start with, ultimately let down. Back to Launcher Pro Plus, which is what always happens when I try an alternative launcher. I should learn not to fiddle really

I only have the app launcher in the dock, how can i add phone, contacts...?
It's kind of good. But it really seems like it's lacking. There needs to be more dock backgrounds, more options, more themes. Still, it is better than stock. It's just that it doesn't do much.
Hmm I've had a couple of force closes when using SMS. It says it is due to twlauncher. This is the first launcher related force close I've encounted.
i think the biggest letdown, imo, is that you have to reload widgets to get them all working again. means something is wrong in the coding where modified unfortunately.
Doesn't seem fully baked. I switched to 5 rows and went to populate the home screens and the first app I dropped in appeared to fall in between the screens. It did not show on any screen but I could see it as I used the slider to go between screens. Nothing I could do would let me get hold of it and delete it. Love the concept and its something I have been asking about so I hope some of the smart people run with this and get the issues worked out. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.
Um if I didn't do a back up before flashing this zip, how can I get back to stock TWlauncher?
Is there anywhere I can get it? Because this launcher is buggy. My messaging is totally borked.
Hi all,
I was wondering with all the fantastic softkey modifications so far, would it be possible to incorporate the app drawer launcher button in the softkey bar? This would simplify the interface at the bottom of the stock launcher screen and create more desktop real estate. For people like myself who like a minimal-istic look with full view of the wallpaper it would be great too!
I have attached an image to better explain what I mean.
Button function would be as follows:
Back key: Back & long press to kill current app.
Home Key: Home.
App key: Open/Close app drawer.
Multi-task key: Multi task.
Menu key: Context sensitive menu & long press for Search.
Many thanks folks!
very awesome idea, i like it!
I like that one too; is it even possible to access the app drawer directly out of an app ?
Wow that is exactly what i want out of my soft keys!...
Interesting idea.

+1 for this idea. If I knew how to write fresh code and went down the developer path I may of taken this on...why oh why did I have to take the theming path
Great idea all the same, lets hope a talented dev can get this done.
very awesome idea +1 ^^
Ah fantastic, thanks for the great response folks, I'm glad people like the idea too. I only wish I had the coding knowledge to work on it myself... I'm slowly trying to learn as much as I can, but this is well out of my league currently lol!
Hopefully one of our many talented devs will like the idea as well and be able to put something together
that is one amazing concept, I suggest we all make requests for this at the thread of the ROM we're each currently using, a lot of our awesome devs take requests!
You could do what I do is use a third party launcher such as ADW and turn off the dock. Set the home button binding to open and close the app drawer.
Just throwing out a suggestion.

Thanks for the help Nitroz and by the way im running black exodus on Bixixe 8 and i love it, the look the feel the everything...
Basically You would need to create a shortcut to to the app drawer in a specific launcher. Or a shortcut to a specific app like 3d app drawer.
This would be awesome. I love the minimalistic look....
I already modded my stock launcher to not have the white line above the icons.... and then deleted my icons just for the sole purpose of keeping it minimal and maxing wallpaper space.
I would love the ability to add a launcher button to the soft keys, but what would the button do while the launcher is already up... or an app is open? Would it dissapear.... that would be cool.

Having had the original idea, I really would like to code this myself therefore giving something back to the community, but as I said I really wouldn't know where to start.
My assumption based on what I've read is that this would require modifications to the system ui apk?
Anyone who could help me with this it would be much appreciated.
How did you remove the line above the launcher icons as this would need to be part of the mod, perhaps if I start with simple changes I could move on from there?
I was thinking 'ClearLauncher' as a mod name too???

Since we have a dedicated recent apps button, I think it'd be cool if we could long press the home button for the app drawer. It would make it even more minimalistic

Yea.... all the modding for the new soft key icon should be within SystemUI.apk. there is tutorial on rootzwiki showing how to add buttons like search to the soft keys. It was all done within systemui. It should be the same process, except i have no idea what the code would be for the app drawer. I can send a link to the tutorial when i get on my computer.
Also, to remove the white line..... that was part of the launcher. Launcher2.apk. it was just an image edit. Changed the .png from white to transparent. I dont know the exact filename off the top of my head, but ill post that too when i get on my computer.
I've ventured into modding the softkeys keys with help from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21258064#post21258064
You must know how to decompile/recompile the SystemUI.apk in order to get started. Once you open the appropriate .xml, you need to edit the "keycode" values of the buttons which can obtained from here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
The only problem is is that keycode actions are limited. This means that only certain buttons can appear in the navigation bar. If you look at the Android dev site, the only useful ones I've found through my testing that actually worked were:
KEYCODE_POWER - This powers off the device.
KEYCODE_CALL - Launches the "Phone" app.
KEYCODE_EXPLORER - Launches the "Browser" app.
KEYCODE_MUSIC - Launches the "Music" app.
KEYCODE_CONTACTS - Launches the "Contacts" app.
KEYCODE_CALCULATOR - Launches the "Calculator" app.
KEYCODE_CALENDAR - Launches the "Calendar" app.
I was hoping KEYCODE_CAMERA and KEYCODE_NOTIFICATION would allow me to go into the Camera app and bring down the notification bar respectively but they didn't work with my testing. KEYCODE_CAMERA only takes a picture when you are in the Camera app already which isn't useful.
So as you can see, a softkey for the App Drawer isn't possible through these means as there lacks a "keycode" for it. I assume if it's even possible for the ability to launch any app, such as the app drawer, it would require some deep hacking which I'm not familiar with by any means. A real dev would have to take on this task. However, if you want buttons in the nav bar that can launch those above, it's easy. I've personally added a button to power off the device as seen below:

Hey guys,
Is there any way to remove those ugly notification bar toggle buttons? They're just a bit too big and therefore consume way too much space!
I've always used something like extended controls and have had all the toggles on the homescreen itself, which makes the toggle buttons redundant and unnecessary clutter. I've never had the need to toggle anything on and off while within an app... besides, going back to home and coming back to the app can be done in a jiffy anyways.
I'd be grateful if somebody could direct me to an existing mod, or if one of the great Devs here could brew something like that. I would more than be willing to help them out and buy them a beer (or few) in appreciation of their hard work and time, and to show my gratitude
Thanks.

Thanks for this. The no search bar makes the stock launcher perfect for me, that alone is worth rooting.
Hi Tulsa, thanks so much for this. Is there any plans to be able to increase bottom margin. I have the nav bar hidden and the screen bar is so close to the edge, would love to have increased padding. Thanks in advance

Yes my friend it's been a long time. I gave up on the 2XL and went back to Samsung until about a week or so ago. The Note 9 camera with action shots is terrible along with the curved screen had me come back to the Pixel line. Glad I did, I have zero regrets.

Hi There, using fluid navigation. It works great, no issues with the search bar or anything, its just a cosmetic thing. It looks off being so close to the edge of the screen and was just wondering if there was a way to modify the padding from the bottom of the screen in the stock launcher.
TIA

Hi There, using fluid navigation. It works great, no issues with the search bar or anything, its just a cosmetic thing. It looks off being so close to the edge of the screen and was just wondering if there was a way to modify the padding from the bottom of the screen in the stock launcher.
TIA

I here you but most people think more screen is better otherwise why remove the navbar in the first place.
I used the remove weather-text home screen option and it cleared text in the top column but now the space is unusable. My weather widget is only able to go to the 2nd column from the top of the home page.

So far I have been unable to clear that area up for use. I'll continue looking though.
Ok, I have a question. When I unzip this or your other mod installer into my platform tools folder it's asking me if I want to replace my adb file or not can u tell me if I should? I ask because when I did click replace I was unable to flash stock at a later date. I had to totally delete my tools and files and do a fresh setup.
Any option to remove only homescreen text but not for the drawer?

There is no reason to unzip this where your platform tools are. Unzip it someplace else.

Derp. Missed it. Thanks!
For anyone trying to use this on Windows I had to use PowerShell vs CMDR / *.terminal.
At the risk of getting flamed, how do I grant give "ADB root permissions?" I know how to launch adb commands via powershell on Windows 10, I'm rooted etc etc, but not sure how to do this step.
Sorry for my ignorance on this

No, I was wrong. You have to go into adb shell, then type su. Been a while since I've done this. Sorry for the ot.
Sent from my crosshatch using XDA Labs
I noticed that some of the applications for custom gesture navigation don't work on MIUI 10 on the MIX 3. Here's what I did to get it to work.
Requirements:
* ADB and Fastboot installed
* A custom gestures application - I use Edge Gestures
Notes:
* Make sure to have an alternative navigation app installed and open before doing this
* This sticks even after a cold boot
Thanks to @Rashad83 for his thread on how to hide the navigation bar.
Instructions:
1. Setup ADB
2. Navigate to ADB folder
3. Open a CMD at that folder
4. Plug in the MIX 3 and ensure it is correctly detected and authorised by typing in CMD without quotations "adb devices"
5. Type without quotations in CMD "adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-130"
6. Enable your custom navigations using the app you had previously installed
7. To return to normal type without quotations: "adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0"

Instead it has the ability to hide the navigation bar built in and i like the gestures even more. Regarding hiding the navigation bar you will need to pay for the feature I think, it's totally worth the price.

The nav bar is visually not on screen with this adb command. It doesn't break immersive mode like some of the alternative methods.

My method works with any gesture navigation app. If you used the adb command I listed then you wouldn't need to pay to hide the navigation bar in the Fluid Navigation app.

Pal before you reply look into the user you are addressing, i am the user you are thanking.

Secondly, you are not paying for hiding the navigation bar only but for extra customizations which in my personal opinion is worth it. The reason I mention the gesture app because it takes care of many things for you instead of inputting the height values manually which are different between devices.
Anyway, no hard feelings. I wish you all the best.

To which I then said that the method which I had posted modified from your adb command would let you hide it without a cost.
No malice intended, just a communication error I think

As if i need to use it when i am one of many to suggest it. Anyway the reason I bring this up because here on XDA a lot of us are experienced users and we need to differentiate between the ones that are and the ones that are not when addressing them.
if you are using this command and hiding the status bar -130 is too much some buttons in apps can get cutoff at the bottom of the screen
0,0,0,-122 seems to be about right. increase or decrease as you see fit
I can't keep "clear all apps" from closing out edge gestures. Any advice? Thanks
