I find the sidebar very annoying. Can I turn it off somewhere? It sticks out on my screen like a thumb!

press the back button for 5 seconds
press thanks if this helped

Thanks

Thanks
Very easy when you know it very hard when you don't lol, thanks again

are you guys aware that the Sidebar is for multi window use? E.g. View two applications at the same time?

Yep, only for few apps. Mostly designed by Samsung and included in ROM. Should be also Facebook and Twitter. Not a big choice.

The multi task bar is maybe good for tablets but not for use with smaller screens.

With screenshot
There are 2 ways.. 1. using back button for few seconds and from the notification center.

For starters. Smaller buttons. Maybe black them out with blue outline. (Holo)
Perhaps' Say it' button on top. Maybe highlight background white or silver if anything is in the box, black if not. Just to show people what to press after they type. (letters or words)
Maybe the MyApps and Rate in the menu option. (pressing menu) The ability to turnoff shake to clear. You can add a banner somewhere that ask for people to support you by checkibg out your apps. How about 'About' section. What your using to make this happen (tts,google, who you are, email contact etc. etc..)

So you have to disable back key lights and notification lights as well? Is there anyway to make the nav bar lights pulse when you receive a notification?

You do not have to disable the capacitive buttons at all to use the nav bar both can be used together at the same time if you want I'm just sharing my setup and yes the lcd density change also can be skipped

Back to default home screen???

I figure its somewhere in settings but cant figure it out.
On any home screen, every time my screen rotates it also reverts back to my default home screen. Annoying! How do I stop it changing the home screen? Thanks!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app
Hi, i think this is what u r talking about.
To change the default home screen:
Pinch your fingers together on the home screen. You should get this screen:
{
"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"
}
Then u just tick the little box of the screen u want to set as default, as shown in this screen:
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Firstly you need to be on a normal home screen (not a page buddy screen).
Then u just hold the internet icon for a few seconds, and drag it somewhere else.
Then just go to the app draw and hold on the chrome icon and drop it in the dock.
That's for the stock launcher.

I don't get that on my n2, so it might be a bug on your device. Try flashing a stock rom and see if it helps.

[REQ] NavBar Mod

Hi devs.
This might be an extra thread so if it is, I apologize and it can be locked. I've searched for one but couldn't find.
I've been getting used to using the stock browser rather than what Google called chrome.
On it is a lab feature for quick control like illustrated below.
Is there any similar or possible mod for NavBar to appear this way through out Android system on Nexus 4?

Although this doesn't make the phone fill screen, I bet you can get a ROM that takes navigation bar out.
Also follow the installation instruction provided on the link!

AOKP has a feature called "Expanded Desktop" which can be toggled through the power menu that allows the NavBar to be hidden.
Check that out.
There's also Button Savior which can be hidden until you want them back. I like them.

Its actually on my CM10.1 as well. I just wished there was a sort of gesture to the CM version. Instead of pushing the power button for expanded screen.
Hopefully someday.
Swagged out of my N⁴ using XDA Premium
On paranoidandroid, in beta 8 and beyond there's a setting that lets you reduce the navigation bar to 0%, which gets rid of the navigation bar but still keeps the status bar.
I've been using my nexus like this with LMT, and it works perfectly, with the extra 80 something pixels from navigation bar. it looks really nice.
There is an app. it is called hidebar
www.ppareit.github.com/HideBar
it stays in the notifs and when you tap it it removes the buttons until you touch either the top or bottom of the screen which brings them back.
have fun
