Hi,
I've made a small change in to the framework-res.apk (and SystemUI.apk for JellyBean) in order to have the navigation bar the same size as the status bar.
This was only tested with stock JRO03C and IMM76I. Proceed with the usual nandroid backup prior to apply.
Files with .jb.zip are ment to be used with JRO03C. Those without are for IMM76I.
Put me in a boot loop on bamf rom. Yes I wiped cache and dalvic. Had to nandriod
I dont think that this will work on other ROM's other than stock(for which it was made) due to the different framework-res. If anyone tries it be sure to make a backup
Would love to get this on bamf..
There should be a way to make it work on all roms

Try using cm9s framework that might make it a universal flash for all roms

Just wondering, what exactly did you change in framework to get it to that size?
AOKP already has this feature built in the ROM for over a month now.
The reason why it's not working for you guys is because the OP states,
This was only tested with stock IMM76I. Proceed with the usual nandroid backup prior to apply.

Meaning it'll ONLY work for stock IMM76I. If you're on other ROMs, those ROMs have a modified SystemUI.APK. So it's causing problems.

It won't because like I said before, every ROM does something different to SystemUI.APK so it won't work. AOKP has this feature built in

I'm not stupid but there is a way to make it flash able for a roms, bc I wouldn't mind trying to add a link to my port if this was possible but then again I can also make just for miui

I never said you are stupid. But every ROM in the world having this small "mod" with the SAME EXACT SystemUI.APK is impossible. That's like saying that every ROM must have the same framework-jar.apk.
Various ROMs in the dev forum already have this feature. And it's even better, you get to CHOOSE what size you want it to be (46,40,36,30).
It's easy to do this mod yourself. That way you can do it on whatever rom you are running. It can be done in 2 or 3 minutes once you know what to type. GUIDE HERE.
Link to working apktool for ICS HERE. Take framework-res.apk from your rom and place it in the same directory as apktool. Type 'apktool if framework-res.apk'. Then type 'apktool d framework-res.apk', make the changes in the guide, type 'apktool b framework-res'. You will get your new apk inside that directory.

^^ either that or download a ROM with this feature. AOKP is one of them. You can control the size of the nav bar in ROM Control (you can change it back if you like as well). Very easy to do.
Don't most custom roms have this option in settings? I'm on liquidsmooth and have seen this on most of the roms I've used in the past few months. There are tons of options but I use 36px (I've used lower but accuracy comes into play).
Liquidsmooth also lets you set custom icons on the fly, nav transparency, background colors, icon colors, etc. Pretty slick.

Same with AOKP.. tbh most LS features are from AOKP's "ROM Control"
I think people are missing the point. Despite the fact that this phone is a modder's dream, there are good reasons why someone would want to keep their phone on the stock ROM (stability, not having to "re-do" your phone once a day/week, if it ain't broke why fix it) but still might want to do little tweaks here and there if possible.
Example: I wanted to see the battery % on the notification bar, but could not justify the 2-3 hours of work reinstalling 100+ apps and tweaking endless system settings on my daily driver phone just to get it, regarelss of what else was in whichever ROM I'd download to get it.
So, even though I don't plan to use this particular mod, I'm glad there are people working on tweaking stock roms and will encourage them as much as possible.
Here's a modified framework for a small nav bar for those on CM9. I have a Verizon CDMA Nexus so it should work fine on Toro. Not sure how it will fair on others...so be cautious.
I also included one that minimizes the nav bar to 0.0 dp for a full screen experience. This should keep the ICS action bar overflow menu displayed for compatible apps. Works best with LMT launcher or GestureControl.
Flash in CWM. As always, make a back up! Enjoy!
Also included a CM9 stock framework if you want to revert back.
Zephik maybe you should tell everyone one more time that aokp has it, just in case

I think you're exaggerating a bit there. I installed AOKP b31 some time ago and apart from trying out b35 yesterday, I'm still on b31 all that time before on a single flash without having to 'redo'. Also, if you're rooted you can just use Titanium Backup for all those apps. Currently running 350+ apps and using TiBu only takes 30 minutes unattended.
I agree that some people prefer stock, but those people are the ones that will never have any intention of flashing anything on their phone.

It's not a feature in ICS, if you don't want a custom ROM you're out of luck.
That said, I'm not sure I see the value of it. What do you use it for?

I also no longer see the value considering the specs of this phone.
I tried to Custom ROMs - AOKP and SLIM ICS. And both ROMs have customizable Navigation buttons. You can set Kill App function on any Nav button (short press or long press).
I use that feature very much.
If I won't be playing a game, I just kill it.
I believe this same battery a little and doesn't require much effort.
try using conservative governor, it gave me much more battery time on my nexus since it spends more time at lower clock than the standard ondemand and interactive governor

Thank You ... but this and other "alternatives" are no answers ... I think every user know, why he wants to have such long-pressing-back-button-feature (and now, please don't say we have not understand the OS memory intention etc.) ...
I am also looking for ... have you seen a little app/ script which implements this feature on a rooted ICS mobile phone?

i also want that feature, as there are more and more games, that keep running in the background and come up with "sales-notification", "reminder to play" or whatever...to avoid this, i always need to go into apps-settings and kill them after playing, otherwise i get these annoying notifications... :-\
CM9 have that feature too. I do see the point of having it if you use some apps that will wakelock your phone (i.e. Facebook), and the only way to fix it is to kill the app (hold back is quicker then going into recent apps and swipe it away).
Either you use a custom rom, or you don't get it. End of story.

why do so many people think, that swiping apps out of the recent apps list does stop them from running? they are just taken out of the list, but if they are still running, they still do after swiping them away, no matter if shown in the list or not!
try it with one. check if it's running, take it out of recents list and check again...

That's a very useful and helpful answer.
Anything you can get in a custom ROM, you can have in a stock ROM. It just takes someone to implement it. If no one has implemented it yet, assuming there is enough interest, someone will...
I have kanged it before into stock, built from src.

The changes are in PhoneWindowManager.smali/.java. I've been trying to add it to my stock IMM76K ROM, but xda search being down isn't helping. If anything, I'll compile AOSP with and with out the change to find exactly what changes need to be made in the .smali file.

You can only have this option on AOKP / GUMMY and non-official rom porting by aokp.
The best rom i use is gummy, AOKP got some problem with connection...
And gummy has good tweaks that doesn't have aokp, and aokp has very great stuff that gummy doesnt have...
But gummy is very stable on the connection.

That's not exactly what I'm asking. I know it does do that though. I have tried CM9, APEX, AOKP(current), Paranoid Android, Codename Android, and JellyBean.
I just want to know how I can do this(like remove the Softkeys entirely or create a toggle) when I find a Rom that looks interesting that doesn't support the feature.
I dont own the Nexus but on my Galaxy Tab I have Galaxy Task 14 rom and it comes with an called "Hide Bar". It hides the Honeycomb soft keys. You should give this app a try and I think you have to be rooted.

you named more or less all custom ROMs you will need to ask the dev to implement it, i think. don't that there is an app solution or sth like that.
Am I mistaken, or is this a feature that is readily available in certain ROMs? You're talking about getting rid of the Back/Home/Recents, allowing full 720p glory, right? I'm trying to remember.. I want to say it would definitely be a feature on Paranoid Android, where you can hold the power button to enable/disable the soft keys (it was one of the icons at the top). Hopefully this helps.. Paranoid Android is the way to go if you absolutely need some certain kind of crazy/abnormal setup. (I really want to use it more than I do.. until this phone no longer is my primary contact number.)

There are many ICS Roms that I wanna try(not switching to JB yet. tried it and I'll let devs toy with it more) that doesn't support it to "maintain" the experience of stock.
And I have seen that honeycomb app. It only works for Honeycomb.
On the LMT thread there is a full screen toggle app that let's you hide the soft keys with one cluck. Its called fullscreen. apk.

OK I found it but it doesn't seem to work for AOKP(I Know, it already has a toggle, just testing before I switch over).
Does it only work when there is no toggle built in???
EDIT1: NVM I figured out that u must reboot for the toggle to have any effect.
It works though.

Yeah it needs a reboot to work. But its the only option that works on jelly bean for now. If you are still on aokp then why don't you like the built in feature?

I'm getting irritated of all features in AOKP.
I don't know why but the features are really irritating me.
I've decided to go stock and move with the fastest and most battery efficient Rom.
The Redemption Rom.
And lemme tell u it's fast.
And actually I do use the built in softkey mod feature. Just fed up with the lags and many features(dunno why, I was getting mad though every time I used my phone).

Hi, hope this is the right section.
I love jelly bean but i need aokp notification toggles (i could settle on CM9 toggles too, but i prefer aokp).
Already know "Notification Toggles" app and don't like it. I want something to flash.
I'd like to know if it's possible to create a tutorial to modify a rom (maybe a clean one like one of the many aosp vanilla) and add this feature.
It's true, i could ask developers, but not anyone likes true 2g-3g toggles and i think i want to start being a bit more independent..
Is it a matter of copy and paste or is something complicated?
Thank you

maybe i should try another sub forum? as request for a flashable zip mod for a aosp rom at least. though i'd like to learn..
It would be a fun project and possible. I wish I had my build environment setup I'd work on it. Just merge in the toggles code.
But why not just flash existing ROM with this?

hi roger thanks for the good news. I'd like to be able to do it myself because i want to learn something and especially because not every dev has the toggle fetish as i do (especially the *true* 2g/3g toggle) so i find a lot of interesting roms without toggles and those that have it sometimes are just too customized. I was really in love with jelly bean as came out the day after I/O, i'd like to stick to the vanilla experience with that fundamental mod i need so much. Being a medical student i spend a lot of my time in poor signal areas in the hospital and the 2g allows me to receive notifications in almost every area without draining the battery too much(which the 3g or the continuos shift between 2g and 3g does).
Is it possible to make just one flashable zip to use it on every rom?
Yes its possible but I never learned how to make a patch, only know how to build the ROM from scratch. A patch would be needed into a flash zip.
I wanted to do this cause I like aokp style toggles but nobody else does, so it would be cool to add their toggles.
So I just installed what I believe to be the GPe 4.3 for the S4 because the lag from TW was ridiculous. I'm pretty new to everything still the only other stock android i've run was on an old HP touchpad using CWM 9 I think.
Some things I miss and I'm not sure how to get back or if i can a couple more toggles on the status bar pulldown? or how to edit what's there.
also is there any way to make the status bar transparent on homescreen/lockscreen wallpapers just look so much better with clear.
I'm also looking for the battery percentage toggle.
is there a setting so when i long press home it opens up the multitasking window? all im getting is google now
and on the lockscreen when i go to unlcok it is there a way to add more options other than unlock.
I apologize if these questions have been asking a million times and there are answers everywhere I wasnt sure where to look.
If someone could answer these or post a link to a thread that does it'd be much appreciated
galaxys4root com/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-roms/google-play-edition-rom-for-galaxy-s4
This is where I download the ROM from and installed it using TWRP . I get a FC every time I try to use google wallet is there a fix for that?
This seems like I'm asking a lot so if anyone helps thank you I'm still new to all this. I feel like I know some basics so I'm not completely hopeless here.
Is there a root method for 4.3 yet? I have t mobiles m919 model
GPe isn't same as "CM" which is AOSP.... maybe if you went to CM10.2 nightlies... you'd be more use to most of those features you were seeing in CM9... CM10.2 nightlies do have most of those options you are also looking for...
and cm 10.2 is still 4.3 and will run on gs4?
and the thing is i've been on this rom for about 2 hours now and setting eveything up the way I like it because I thought it would be the one i was sticking with. Is there any way to put cm on it without losing app/accounts and the way everything is? or would I be starting over
probably be best to start fresh again and yes CM10.2 is android 4.3 and it works beautifully on the S4 for all variants.. http://get.cm/?device=jfltetmo is the one for the tmobile s4..
Well thats frustrating. I'll probably end up doing it later tonight anyways though. now when i update like a new version ofthe nightly build will make me start over too or will it keep everything the way it was?
and what's a good way to backup text messages while switching roms?
going from nightly to nightly you can just update no need for wiping.. as far as backing up texts and stuff i have no idea.. as i don't ever do any of that..
Alright thanks. I'll check out the nightlys later. but for now is there a way to bring up the multi tasking windows? like on TW you would just long press home. I've been trying to find a setting for it but cant
