REQ- JB Remove Nav Bar - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I found that the extra screen size that can be saved by removing the nav bar and using an app such as LMT to navigate, really got me used to having more screen real-estate.
I was wondering if any of you guys have had any luck in figuring this out with jellybean?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Yes, same here. I m so used to lmt and the extra screen size, can't wait for a mod in jb

i know right lol... waiting for the xda hook-up!

Waiting for this too!
After using LMT for so long, reaching down for the virtual buttons just don't feel right.

I don't use this mod but there's a line to add to your build.prop that removes it.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
This tells android that your phone has hardware keys and disables the soft keys.

[MOD] ARHD 4.0.x | Modded Battery % | Update: 17/05/12

If you use ARHD 4.0.x it's because you look to get as close to stock as you can.
Many of this users misses the possibility of at least have their notification battery a little modded.
So, i'm glad to bring you (for now) 2 possibilities:
1) Stock Battery With %

}
2) Circle Blue Battery with %
Files ready to be flashed via CWM
I'll look to incorporate new ones as long as i find interesting ones or if someone request it by providing at least screenshot.
Thanks to:
Jotha who has inspired me to start theming (at least a little).
Milamber33 who firstly requested the MOD
Hope you all like it and hit the THANKS button
PS: For those who want to get back to stock, please flash THIS.
This is awesome! Thanks a lot for putting these mods together.

Or just re-apply the softkey mod exactly the same way you did it the first time. Whichever method worked for you then should work again now.
strange problem
I installed your mod with the circle battery, very nice! But then I lost my data connection, and only when I installed newly the ar rom it came back... now I'm at a loss, reinstall it or not?

Admire the effort taking for this but when I use it on 4.0.1 AR it tends to screw up and I lose my notification bar and softkeys. Good thing I have a backup of System.apk. Usually a deodexed SystemUI shouldn't have this issue. Am I missing something?

I believe this is heavily based on CM9 therefore flashing Eugene's kernel is the only way to make that script work unless eugene figured out how to do it without through his kernel X_x. You can test it for us and be guinea pig

An example is the sony stock launcher for example. You have to press menu button to get that little wallpaper widget thing to come up. well you can hold down also. But I have no empty spot on my home screen lol so I got used to menu button. SO I keep going down to the regular button lol.

I know. This is not a regular menu that pop up like say a go launcher. I use Ez Launcher and the Soft menu button is visible on the right.
I might try out a new launcher. I do enjoy Sony's though. My phone has been kinda slow recently opening things like messaging up and no idea why. I think it is just the Sony stuff that is slow

How to easily force navigation bar

Real simple
Change your DPI to 213, or what ever you want. I'm at 280. I get the nav bar, status bar stays at top. I prefer a home soft key.that bottom is different.
Add these 2 lines to the bottom of your build prop
Save and exit
Reboot

[GUIDE] Use Volume Key For Flashlight with Screen Off

How to activate the flashlight on the lock screen.
1. You will need to install either Nova or Apex launcher. You don't need to keep this as your launcher in the future, but just to activate this trick.
2. Once running, press & hold an empty spot on your home screen. You will get this window, and choose 'shortcuts'
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Then select activities.
4. Once this loads (can take a bit if you have many things installed), select settings.
5. Now scroll down to Torch light and select either of the two.
6. It will now add the shortcut to your home screen. Tap on this icon.
7. Check the torch light option and then the time-out amount.
You can now switch back to the launcher of your choice and have the working flashlight. Just hold the power up for a short time and it will come on or tap to volume down to turn off.
Enjoy!

*edit*
Did not work for me. I'm on wicked v3 and ktoonzes kernel. No other mods other than nav bar.
I'm on Wicked ROM v3 with Faux Kernel and also using Nottach Xposed.

awesome find.. i know ill be using this!
Is this working for anyone? If so can you please check to see if this exists:
/sys/devices/virtual/torch/torch/torch_ctl
then tell me what ROM/Kernel combination you are running, then attach said file to your reply? Thanks!
Thanks![/QUOTE]
Nope.Does not work on stock Rom, rooted.
I don't know about the above method, but I am using "Tiny Flashlight" and that provides an option to toggle the light on the lock screen by shaking the phone. Works well enough for me.

Not sure why you guys are having problems with it, but Nottach also got it running & will include it in his next update (allowing you to map it to your home button instead of you prefer). So if you are running Xposed with his mod should be easier to setup/work.

Nottach Xposed v10 now available and includes trick for torch. Can set to home button too if you prefer over volume up.
Using the Nova Launcher and followed the steps...
Tried with each of the types and still no joy.
Every time I manually press the volume up and power there is no flashlight, just the 4 way power menu...
When ever I press and hold the icon itself, it gives the settings for the touch light menu to enable the touch light and with the time amount.
I have seen this short cut work with the AnyShortCut app...... maybe there was a step that was overlooked?
If someone figures this out, wonderful!
