Full screen with gestures - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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!

Quick controls for the Launcher

I'm using AOKP and would to disable the navigation buttons at the bottom. Thing is, the only way to navigate without them, is using the shortcuts in the power menu :-/
I remember seeing a mod that gave us quick controls(the same kind seen in the browser) but for use as a navigation radial in the homescreen. I can't find the mod anywhere though, so was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Add phone app to nav bar

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:

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.

Soft Key for AOKP Widget button

I was looking around to see what soft key would work for the new toggle widget feature in AOKP build 38 and couldn't find something I liked so I made this. What do you think?
I just made it a long press.

Could you make app icons in similar fashion?

Navigation button solutions?

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.

What kind of question is that?

Transparent navigation bar

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....

+1 woulb be kinda cool maybe in the future it will be standard for most roms or atleast a option
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.

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
