I was just thinking about my very old palm pre I had a while back . It sparked an idea of having the same kind of gesture bar at the bottom instead of softkeys, I think this would be really cool though I have no android developing exprience . You guys think we could get this idea around to the devs ? Let's do it!

This already exists. Either LMT or button savior are the best ones.

After seeing some of the new Blackberry 10 screenshots, I noticed that it has soft buttons like Android 4.
Is it possible to add a phone icon to the left of the back button to launch the app?
Like so:

Would be dope.

good day.
Thanks, but I'm not interested in leaving CM9.
Is there another way?
Bump for more info
AOKP, unless CM adds it as part of their rom.

I'm looking for the best solution for navigation buttons, so that I can remove my navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen and regain that screen space. What is everyone using to replace the navigation buttons? I know there is LMT, with the pie interface, but I was wondering if there was a better option.
I was thinking, is there a way to use the same gesture to swipe from the bottom that is used for google now, is it possible to put custom actions buttons alongside google now in that area? I hadn't seen it on any roms yet, but wasn't for sure. It seems like that would be a perfect place to put home, back, and recent actions.
Lol if you didn't like the on screen buttons why did u get a galaxy nexus

Because its a great device. I have no problem with them, but if there's a better solution, it would be nice to use it.
Anyone have any useful contributions?
Lmt and button savior are the only options. I prefer lmt. We could write a new app to do what you want, but it would be a major project.
After trying both, I think I prefer LMT as well. Maybe in the future we will see a mod to the Google Now shortcut, similar to how custom lock screen targets are done now.

Probably for the ability to do things just like this.
What kind of question is that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I would love that too
Awesome would be 80 or 100% transparebt Statusbar i think kind of easier. But i don't know either.. but i may be wrong

Hi guys!
I have a question. And i'm sure someone can tell me if it's possible or available.
I know we can get mods to have a fullscreen possibility. But is it possible to hide/show the softbuttons by using gestures? For example: swipe up to show. Swipe down to hide?
Hope someone can give me an answer.
Thanks!

I think the cm team is working on a similar function, long press power and select full screen to show/hide soft buttons and notification bar.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
It would actually be awesome to swype in to show the soft buttons and swype out to hide them
Yeah thats what i thought too! If i had the knowledge to build it. I did!

I got really tired of waiting for Samsung to release the JB update for my Bell Canada S3 and installed Task's AOKP ROM. I love the ROM and prefer the stock Google experience but miss some of the cool features Samsung added, mainly the ability to show the status bar in a fullscreen apps such as a game. Here is a video for those that don't know about this feature.
I have always been annoyed that i had to press the home button and exit out of my game/video to answer a text, change songs or whatever else might pop up on the notification bar and found myself using this allot when i got the S3, switch to AOKP i needed this back. Its just so simple and i'm surprised its not a native feature in Android.
But thankfully there is an app for that called Smart Statusbar which works well on my S3 and its free. I have tried this in MX Player and all my ga,mes like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Dead Trigger etc and it works on all.
TIP: Swipe from the bezel down and not from the top of the touch screen.
Thanks for the info. I am downloading the app now and going to try it out.
this was one of the features i missed the most coming from iOS to android.
Thank you very much!
Nice find!

Awesome! Can't believe more people don't know about this.

just to point out it works on Android 4.2
Hopefully not a huge necropost, but this feature actually wasn't removed.
You have to swipe TWICE in stock TW. I used this app for a while before discovering it here:

I'd have fewer apps installed, but to each his own.
