i know on the Gtab there was a mod to add on screen nav buttons. i was wondering if anyone has gotten rid of the nav bar and used this mod (its an app) to have all the time full screen? the way it would work is there would just be a little icon that you push to show the home, back, menu, etc buttons instead of the full black bar...?

If you set the LCD Density to less than 240 the UI crashes and gets rid of the status bar and soft keys. A little button appears in the top right to open the app list though, which is odd. Also the camera UI is MUCH better at that density.
Probably not what you were after as you lose the status bar too
Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back
Is there a way (or a touchwiz rom) to change the notification bar style. The Menu buttons are too big, and the brightness bar takes up a lot of space, both combined give me like 1/4 of space for my notification.
At least a way to make the menu buttons smaller or removing the brightness slider from my N-menu.

Time for a custom ROM. Easier than doing the mods yourself. S3Rx or Dandroid can do it.

thanks. ill give it a try.
How I can get a transparent or semitransparent navbar? Would prefer semitransparent.
Only way I can imagine that working is making it yourself.

would the be so that you could look at the bottom of your background through the navbar?
I ask because that would be the result. an app window wouldn't appear under it, unless in immersive mode... which in full immersive mode - the navbar is transparent...
your typical app is constrained to the screen space between the statusbar and navbar.. they are in non-immersive mode... to better understand what I mean, look at the diagram here;
https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
also, when u do see apps where the statusbar or navbar look more integrated with the app, that's probably hinting to colourize them to match the app...
anyhoo, I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in, because I don't think a transparent navbar is going to do what u want it to (?).
I recommend nav bar apps, at least with it the nav bar can dynamically change colors based on the foreground app. This is the app to go-to if you're worried about screen burn.
Ca somebody point me in the right direction...probably substratum plugin, i just want the navbar to always behave like its on the home screen transparent with the buttons only.
Download Custom Navigation Bar. No root required. Just a simple adb command and then you can make the buttons transparent.

I think he want a totally inverted version of that. LoL
Transparent bar with Button.
Am using custom navbar app as well. And i believe there's no option for that, yet.
I think its because, if the bar is transparent all the time, we wont be able to see the button when we open an app or web page with bright/white background.
