Hide navigation bar/soft keys - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have read on the Internet that you need to go into values/Bools.xml and change true to false. Well phone phone is lacking the folder values in framework–res.apk
I'm on 4.0.4
Does anyone know another way to hide them on completely stock rom? Everything is stock even the recovery.
Thank you so much in advance!

Are you rooted? If you are try to search for Full screen mod or something. I'm not sure it's possible if your device is locked.

I'm wanting to do the tablet mod without using cwm. I can root fine and change values on my own. I just don't have the values folder in my framework–res.apk for some reason :?

Also downloaded app from this thread to see if it also changed Bools.xml or had a values folder and it does not so now I am lost on how to hide soft keys on my own.

Hide Nav Bar
Hello everybody!
So I have been looking around the internet for about half an hour now for a solution to this. I have a Nexus 4 and I just installed LMT and really like the fullscreen thing. After running into countless unhelpful threads about hiding the softkeys, I came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
It worked!!! It worked perfectly! (at least it worked perfectly on my Nexus 4). It hides the nav bar without hiding the notification bar!!!

You can now hide soft keys (and keep notification bar) without modifications and reboots. Just try my new app:
GMD Hide Soft Keys
It also adds Quick NavBar - soft keys that can be opened with simple swipe from bottom and then autohide when not needed :good:.

Quick controls for the Launcher

I'm using AOKP and would to disable the navigation buttons at the bottom. Thing is, the only way to navigate without them, is using the shortcuts in the power menu :-/
I remember seeing a mod that gave us quick controls(the same kind seen in the browser) but for use as a navigation radial in the homescreen. I can't find the mod anywhere though, so was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hiding the nav bar with power menu / gestures.

Does anyone know if it's possible to hide or show the navigation bar on demand? I'm running bugless beast nightly.
I found another thread, flashed the zip, got soft bricked. Anyone know of an app or another way to do it?

AOKP if you're willing to change ROM's.
yes, aokp, slim ics, foxhound(theoretically all the roms sharing aokp settings) will do the job. they allow u to control or hide nav bar in power button menu.

Awesome. Thanks guys... I'll change up and give it a shot.

[Q] Is there a way to disable the softkeys all together?

I am on the paranoidandroid rom and was wondering if i could disable the softkeys completely and rely on the on screen nav bar

First off just a correction ...
softkeys are "Software Keys" so the "On Screen" keys are soft keys .....
As far as disabling the Hardware keys, there used to be an app that let you disable buttons, but not sure if it works on the sgs2 ....
I'll look around for one, thanks

I was wondering the same thing earlier... if your using nova launcher hold down on the home screen and select shortcuts then activities then select Galaxy sII settings. Then just dissable key backlight.
Hope that helps
Edit - after re-reading what you wrote I realized you meant how to completely dissable them. I'm not really sure how you would do that. Well, good luck

Navbar question

Hello to all,
Is it possible top hide navbar when is not needed? Just like when that thing hides itself in videos or YouTube app. I am on JB androidme rom.
Thanks.
I use LMT and disable the navbar
It is great
You can only hide it completely and use an alternate gesture launcher etc. It won't actively appear and hide unfortunately and no hack has added that exact functionality.
+1 for LMT and Full Screen Toggle...awesome to have the full screen in all my apps now.
What is LMT?

PA has an expanded desktop option, that makes it full screen at will.

Hopefully it shouldn't be too much different?
FNV also has it. I knocked mine all the way down to 0, and it's gone. I'm also using GMD gesture control instead for navigation purposes, getting the most out of my nexus 4's screen

I used to do this on the Galaxy Nexus but I used LMT launcher instead. How easy is it to use GMD? I only use it for launching my universal search app

flash the aokp rom. it lets you completely customize the nav bar. you can add buttons change buttons and edit things like height.
check it out here
What about the status bar on top. Is there a option or mod to hide it all the time til you swipe down or something. I know the hidebar app hides both the top bar and the bottom bar at all time. But you cannot swipe down or show only the status bar without showing the navbar. Anybody knows

Lots of options open up when you get the bought app. I built my gestures to make triangles and it works really well. They explain everything and make it pretty straightforward.

I use ADW Launcher EX and it allows you to do that in settings. I believe other 4.0+ launchers have it built in.
