I want to only have a home button on my navigation bar and I was wondering if there was an app where if you swipe from left to right on the navigation bar it could act as a back button? I think it would be cool because it can replace that button and make it feel like you are actually swiping back.
Great idea, hopefully other people think so and it catches someone's eye that can make it happen. I don't know of anything like that unfortunately.

Check LMT launcher. Let's you assign almost anything as a gesture and what the gesture will do. Can also have no Nav bar and with lmt, have a pie appear with standard Nav bar commands.
I couldn't locate through the market but came across it and use the set up from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
Its a cool setup and the link to LMT are in the op

Here is just the LMT Launcher link
In the app you can set the field of where to check for gestures on screen. You could play with it and have it run along bottom of screen over your one button Nav bar I guess. Here it is:

I'll check it out. Seems very in-depth and I don't see any single left to right swipe gestures....just double. But yea hopefully someone does see it and does something with the idea. I remember there was the swipe the nav bar and screen turns on or off or whatever so shouldn't be too hard to make it go back instead....says the non app maker.
There's a thread in this forum with soft key mods and one of the icon sets is for the iPhone home button. In that icon pack the back and recents are just black icons. You could save those icons over the current ones in System.apk and you would only have a home button but back/recent still functional. I know that's not what you originally asked for but just a suggestion.

I remember that this was asked for in the beginning of time (for the nexus), but no one was up for the challenge. I think it would be easier to do now tho when the nav bar already has the swipe up gesture.
It would be awesome if anyone is capable of making this.
Great idea! :good:
You can use a gesture app to do this. Check out "GMD GestureControl Lite ★ root" http://bit.ly/zeCp0K
With this app you can set it up to use the single left to right swipe and only be activated on that part in the screen of choose. I use this app for all the main control since I have no soft keys.

Yea that is what I'm doing now. Just replaced the icons with the black section of images.
Works for now but still think the left to right swipe gesture would be cool.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if it could be possible to get the Tablet search bar (with the appdrawer button on the top right corner) running on Nova or Apex?
I am currently running PARANOIDANDROID and I love that search bar, but running trebuchet I can't remove the appdrawer button on the bottom without removing the dock (disabling Hybrid Mode)
Is there any way to either get the tablet search bar running on Nova/Apex or remove the appdrawer button on Trebuchet?

Yeah paranoid android does it but icons are pretty small. Try email the Dev to make it an option instead of the phone version of the search bar.

you can show the dock and have tablet ui. enable tablet ui, then go to dock settings and click show dock
Nice job! I don't personally like using the dock when I have tablet ui but the op might like this

I use Nova Prime. I saw that Apex added the option, but I've paid for Nova, and I've always used it, so it isn't worth switching over for this one feature.
Ok first view my screenshot at the bottom of this post.
My current setup:
LauncherPRO, status bar toggled hidden, black background, and custom dock icon images, black (so they appear hidden)
What I want:
Ideally, I want NO dock icons.
I use google gesture search for everything. There is an extra app that makes google gesture pop up when I long-press the search button, so i'd like to remove that icon as well.
Please help with any ideas!
Also I am liking the idea of invisible widgets.
I want to have secret ones, where I scroll left-side to open x app, or pinch and zoom one area of the screen to toggle wifi, etc.

Bump.
Essentially I want no homescreen.
Using the search button long-press shortcut to gesture search is all I need.
I might throw a hidden lock on there as well.
I want it to appear that my device is powered down to the average user.

I use Go launcher and Swipe pad. Nothing else on my homescreen. Toggling statusbar (swipe up or down) and no icons in my on my taskbar. I double tap to get to my app drawer. I use swipe pad for quick access to what I use most. I like it no one can figure out my phone.

HOW TO ENABLE PIE WITH STATUS BAR

2. Scroll to Customization
3. Select Hybrid Properties
4. Select Interface
5. In workspace slide Nav. bar to "0%"
6. Click Apply
7. Exit to home screen
8. Press and drag finger up
WoW! I think I actually might like this!
FYI: AOKP MR3 just released a way to hide the nav bar and a quick swipe up enables the nave bar to reappear. Just like WebOS!
My problem with PIE is when I have it set to either right side or bottom (easiest to access) it cuts off half of my backspace button on my keyboard as it is reserved for swiping in and PIEing from the right or its hard to click my space bar or punctuation marks if I have it set to the bottom.
Is there anyway to avoid this? Like preferably have it set to force swiping from the bezel, rather than allowing a majority of the finger to be on the screen when swiping up. I've messed with all of the launch setting sizes to no avail.
I have the same problem with my keyboard when pie is set to the bottom. I do not know of any fix. In a few days or so there will be a new release of PA with some impressive fixes that they have done. Take a look at they're (PA) Google+ page.

What about on the right as well? I'm actually running Xenon HD on a recommendation (there's soooo many roms idk what to do with myself) so I'm not sure if the updates will run through to xenon right away :/ might have to try paranoid android then haha

Many of you having been asking me to post some flashable zips of the RAZR M launcher I modded for CSROM.
Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and did it (sorry for the delay!).
The launcher is from a different device (Motorola RAZR M) and different Android version (ICS), so there is a little lag.
But that is a small price to pay for the awesome circle widget!
There are currently two versions available: with and without the persistent search bar.
While I was able to remove the search bar, I have not yet been able to recover the real estate.
Six other apps are installed which are required to make the circle widget fully functional.

Just look in the .zip folder and remove the files you see from system/app.
Or you can restore the nandroid you should have made.

Like my title says I'm curious if there's a way or an app to easily change the height of the on screen buttons maybe make him half as short as they are now

I'm interested in this too. Hopefully there is a way. Waists too much screen space
My suggestion is to just root the phone and install GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys... I did that today, and it's amazing being able to use the full 5" screen for all my apps. Navigation buttons are just a touch/swipe away too.

I tried about GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, but I don't like having to swipe up to show the keys. I wouldn't mind making them just a little bit shorter.
However, if that isn't possible, I wouldn't mind GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys if I could use the stock HTC Sense 6 system icons for the navigation bar when using GMD auto hide. Is there a way to extract them and do this?

anyone try gravitybox? that works great. change size and colors
Gravity box is the best
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
If you have see no sense in the overload of Gravity Box features and just want to set height of the Notification bar, I would recommend "Dimensions Editor" for Xposed Framework. You can even change the position of Toasts with it (also the Height of Notification Bar).
Trying still now.
