Is this possible?
A few roms gives you the ability to change the color but is there a way to make the background completely transparent? Would look pretty dope.
Sent from the future.
Would be good but a problem may be, that if there is a button on the bottom of a certian page, lets say eg. the next page button. The nav buttons would overlap
And you wouldnt be able to press it. Thats my theory anyway, but what do i know lol

The nav bar background would still be there just invisible to the eye.
See-through, not completely gone. At least how I had it figured out in my head lol.

Then i dont see why it cant be done thinking about it, aokp has a transparent status bar mod i think, so nav bar should be possible.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I don't THINK it's possible without a lot of clever scripting. From what I can tell, the status bar/nav bar UI "displaces" the drawable screen area. So if the nav bar are present, it nothing is drawn behind them. If they're not present, stuff is drawn, where they go, but uh... they aren't present.
So it might be doable with some trickery, but as far as I know nobody's done it yet.
It's possible and been done many times. There's a thread about it in the themes section.

I hate the navigation bar taking up screen space. I've seen a mod where the navigation bar can be hidden, but, it would be cool if it could AUTOHIDE the same way the Windows Start Bar can autohide. Then, you could use the proximity sensor to show the bar again by waving your hand over your phone.
Is this doable?
Someone should at least p a. t e n t it before Apple does.
This idea is quite innovative but too bad the proximity sensor is not at the bottom..

Thats an awesome idea..
good idea!!!!
maybe a swiping guesture over the screen is a more practical way of hiding it and poppin it back up
heres hoping someone may be able to implement it. .
and i agree. a gesture should enable/hide it.

That's even better! Wave your hand over the proximity sensor to hide/unhide the navigation bar.
Let's hope we can get a one or more devs on here interested in making this a reality!

It's not so bad to wave your hand over the ear piece. If this idea takes off, maybe mfg'ers will add a second proximity sensor on the bottom in future devices.
Check out an app called Proxy. Very similar to what you're talking about. Personally I found it a little gimicky, but combined with a hidden status bar it could be pretty cool!

This is a brilliant idea, but I agree, the best way would be to have it appear with a gesture - not proximity really.

ADWEX Launcher has a similar feature for the dockbar to hide and unhide by gesture. Maybe this CAN be done...

tap tap app allows you to unlock to phone by waving over the phone.
I don't see why this shouldn't work but it would be sooooo much better if the sensor at the bottom.

What would be awesome is to get this to work the way it does in the you tube app where the bar disappears on its own and then touching near where the buttons would be gets the screen to revert. I wish I knew a little about programming but that would be awesome. I love the resolution of this screen but can't help but feel cheated sometimes because we are losing 5-10% of it with the bar at the bottom.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I would actually prefer if they made the bottom transparent (with a small gradient) so that the buttons are there, but not really using space as much...
Or maybe a swipe up from the bottom to bring it back, there are plenty of apps that use gestures like that to run an app or run a task.
I want something like this cause I'm paranoid that the black will cause a burn in effect over time.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Now that AOKP has the 'hide/show navbar' command surely someone knows how to retrofit it into LMT or add it to the gestures in nova launcher?
Pretty self explanatory but would it be possible to have the status bar at the bottom of the screen either under the nav bar or on top
Isn't a bad idea maybe someone can make a mod with this...
If you run in tablet mode its on the bottom. It takes a little getting used to though.

I tried that out and really tried to like it but its just not quite right I hope someone does make a mod for this too happen
If you run Cyanogenmod Nightly, you can use the 'Advanced Statusbar Mod'.
So you can move your Statusbar to the bottom of your screen.

I haven't tried it myself yet but this looks like it may do what you're looking for if you're on CM9.

Suppose this belongs here rather then anywhere else, its a question after all and I'm not releasing any thing so its not really relevant for dev section. I have decompiled systemui.apk and I'm looking to change the nav bar height. What XML and line am I looking for? Im looking at...
res\layout\navigation_bar.xml
and possibly ...
'android:layout_height="40.0dip"
But not sure on the exact lines, possibly all of them?
Any clues would be much appreciated. First time dabbling in editing files, so all help welcome before its FUBAR
TIA

I could be wrong on this but I think it's not just the nav bar height that would need changing. If you change the nav bar at all the os window would then be of a different size so this resolution would need to be changed as well.
Perhaps look at what was done in the mod for removing the nav bar completely see if you get any clues.

Its Because of AOKP that I want to do this! I've been spoilt! I would like the option to change the Nav bar height on ROMs that don't have the option. In this case, Gummy 1.0 so it looks like DIY is the best way
Does anyone know if this is possible to do. I think it would give our nexus a better full screen effect.
Anything is possible but it supposedly killed performance on old versions
But I would also like to see this in the future
And also there are multiple threads explaining this bump

Yes it is possible... But you're going to have to do some decompiling and compiling and change the status bar back ground .PNG file and recompile the .apk....

well, you can't get transparent navigation bar in JB by changing the background only, but you have to do your changes in smali too
A black to transparent fade in both status and navbar would be sweet as hell.
Please make this happen <3
Just like in Atrix HD
Bump! lookin' forward to this mod
What does the atrix launch with? ICS or jb?
Bump! i'd love it!

ICS for sure. When JB was released, it was only available for the Galaxy nexus, nexus S and motorola XOOM, and the Atrix was out before that
What's with all the talk about status bars? The guy asked about the navigation bar (where the soft keys are)
Haven't seen anything about it. But I agree that it would be pretty sweet and I would be down.
I've read on another thread that someone managed to make the navbar transparent. Only problem was the glow from touch stayed after using the buttons...
Haven't read that thread in a while, think it died.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have been thinking about this too since the day I got my Gnex..
I use a black background usually, but I think it'd be very very cool to get the navbar to be transparent. Even if the button glow had to be removed (when I run AOKP, I turn the button glow off anyway - I think it looks retarded how it gets cut off on the top and bottom on shorter nav bars).
Would definitely be interested in seeing something done here.
Couldnt we just get a cm build from them and copy the framework required?
I'd love a transparent volume indicator. I know its available but I want to have it on the stock Google ROM.

Awesome would be 80 or 100% transparebt Statusbar i think kind of easier. But i don't know either.. but i may be wrong

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.
