REQ- Mod to hide nav bar while typing. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is it possible to hide or deactivate the nav bar automatically while the keyboard is up? That would be useful!

Not automatically no

Why not?

I don't know, I don't build ROMs. I suppose it is technically possible, but it isn't implemented. You can hide it manually and that's about it.

This would be nice. I really feel like Google didn't maximize the advantage of the virtual buttons.

Same here my friend.

It might not be a solution, but it helps. Some keyboards have an option to make a "bumper" on the bottom. It helped me out a lot from accidentally hitting the navbar.

I run my bottom nav buttons at the thinnest possible setting on aokp, so its the same height as the top status bar. Maybe that would help. I definitely like it better, more screen displayed, semitrical top and bottom.

Use expanded desktop if you need it so badly.

I have seen this in AOKP, but I only want to hide the navigation bar when typing on the keyboard. If they can implement the manual hide, why can't the automatic be implemented, when the keyboard pops up?
They can implement arrow keys on the navigation bar when keyboard pops up, so it means there must be a way to know when it happens. Why not just hide it then?

[Q] Where did these icons in the notification bar come from? (photos)

I mean those wifi, bt, sound icons etc.
Looks like they are embedded in the notification bar. Is it a wedget? or a built-in feature of some third-party rom?
Thanks.

Well they aren't stock I can tell you that.
Most custom ROMs have a power widget like that.

You can install Notification Toggle where you are able to choose between different icon graphics.
Stock notification icons from CM10 I believe. You can change/disable them in settings.

No.. those are the built in Power Widgets from CM. There should be an option in the system settings to disable them if you dont like them. As well as customize them and change their order etc.

[Solved...]CM10.1- Slide across Notification Bar for Brightness

EDIT: Yeah, so mods, feel free to delete this thread.
Hey all, I would like to find a way to be able to adjust screen brightness just by grabbing and holding the notification bar. Apparently this is the way TouchWiz does things (it used to be on my old phone, an LG p500 with I think CM 10.0, but it might have been in CM7.x).

I've seen several mods that require flashing in CWM, but I believe these are ROM/device dependant.
I've also seen a few apps that give similar functionality, but they just don't fit. Especially when we can have a Brightness toggle in the Quick Settings Panel.
Is there a way to mod this onto our phones? I've tried peeking into the flashable zip files from other places, but trying to parse everything that's going on there is well above my head. Even if someone can just point me in the right direction, that'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S.- Auto-brightness is disabled.

Isn't there a Mod in G3 Tweakbox under Theme recent apps window that will do this?
Just lets you change to the aosp clear all button, and remove split window button from what I can tell....
Download the beta from the xda thread, it has this option

Open your Recents. If you pinch zoom in and out, you can change the menu between 3 different settings. The ugly LG default, the single column, and a double column.

Using gestures? swipe up on the pill to open multi-tasking and then tap the icon of the App at the top and select Split Screen.
Here's a screenshot

i really liked the old oreo split screen shortcut.....so i made an app that brings it back. (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.ericytsang.multiwindow.app.android)
if you want to use the pill for navigation (instead of the old 3-button navigation), there's an option in my app that lets you display the accessibility button to trigger split screen mode...

I use an app called navigation gestures which replaces the pill with a way more powerful version. It replaces the nav bar entirely.
It can assign any action to any gesture (right & hold for instance) and one of the things it can trigger is split screen.

Question Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the huge space that is taken up by the clock when fully extending the notification panel?

I want to get rid of the huge space when fully extending the notification panel, so when I pull it all the way down, the brightness bar is around the center of the screen, does anyone know a way to do this, with or without root.

Try using Galaxy Goodlock family of apps,
Quickstar. See if it can hide it for you...
Try notifications settings, try searching for "clock" in settings.
Quickstar hides the clock on my homescreen page, they may have added more options for Android 11/12.
On my N10+'s Android 9/10...
I will try that. Thank you.

That looks horrible. Is that Android 12?
13 will likely be worse.
On 9/10 it uses the space much better...
This was modified using Quickstar for the custom colors.
If you want to quickly access brightness control you can use One Handed Operation plus, Quicktools to do so.
Sadly there was no option for this, it seems to be essentially color type changes you can make
