Just upgraded to (GSM) 4.2 The only thing I need to do is remove the softkeys as I use a fully gestured system to navigate. Is this possible on stock rom? Or will I have to wait?
PS: I searched and found nothing.

It kind of looks it's not worth the hassle, compared to the ease of use of the navbar. It would be more handy if one could make it half the height. I know it's possible through customs roms,etc, just not for stock. They should implement it, just as in Windows P:
Excellent! Works great on 4.2. Thank you young feller.

Where can I find custom navigation bar mods? What I want is an ALWAYS on nav bar, as if hardware buttons were present at the bottom of my screen. I want 4 nav icon buttons in this order form left to right: Menu, Back, Home, Search
Is this possible? So tired of having to hunt/hope for the tiny 3-vertical dot menu option squeezed over where it is not convenient to get to. I do NOT need the silly open-app switcher button that is on the right now. I did some searching but couldn't find a mod that could be allied to my current custom JB rom, only other ROMs that I'd have to flash the whole thing to get.
Thanks!
-edit-
Found this thread, but none of those links provide a solution for this
Yes its possible, this mod is everywhere.

After you posted this I sepnt 30 more minutes on Google and 2 hours in the Nexus Themes/Apps forums, but STILL have yet to find this. Everyone wants you to modify your SystemUI.apk or just overwrite an image file. For crying out loud..I just want a flashable zip to do in CWM Recovery that has the four options I mentioned above. I cannot believe nobody else has wanted this, it's the biggest (and only) downfall of the Nexus.

I was looking for a mod that would do Vibrant keys (menu-home-back-recent) but couldn't find it. Turned out it's so easy to do yourself! All you need to do is decompile SystemUI.apk, edit layout/navigation_bar.xml, compile it back and adb push to /system/app
Not a rocket science, really

Oh that's all...lol. Come on. Most people do not use ADB or decompile on here. We use the GNex Toolkit by mrskip (which in turn handles ADB tasks auto-magically) or we do what little we can in a root explorer, but other than that it's beyond 90% of ppl on here (despite the name of the forum). Now, I know that there are flashable zips, I just cannot find one with the 4 buttons I like. Everything has the silly 'recent apps' button on the right that I never use. I need that to be a search button like every other phone.

Yes but I don't think aokp JB fully merge in apk those features yet, so I think you have to go back to the fully loaded milestone 6.

It does actually. JB AOKP has it all, great ROM. Glad to have finally found a daily driver.
Sorry if this has already been posted or in wrong section, and I take no credit for it but I found it to be pretty cool. To add soft keys to rooted stock touchwiz rom all you have to do is add this line to the build prop and reboot.

Agree with you. I am using the same method on my HD2 CM9 for 8 months now.
My SGS3 will arrive today and I am glad that this method will apply to rooted stock rom. Was wondering if this method CM rom only or also stock rom.
Thank you for your information.
IMO this method is way better than some softkey apps because it doesn't use ram and is native like.

I have a t-mobile unlocked 32gb white rooted with AOKP jellybean- 4th release
And I cannot find any other mods to the physical buttons, like making the home button a camera button. Not as important, but would love to know if you can tell me.

Paranoid Android does not have any such feature. I know that Trebuchet launcher on the other hand does but the latest version of the ROM does not have this launcher. There is no such application I've come across yet, or any such feature in the rom, that let's me do this. So please, let me know what I have to do to get this done and then you can mock me all you want. Also, a problem I have faced is, I didn't know what to search for. No idea what that space is called.

Use Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher.
Also if you want the Trebuchet launcher, just download it from the the Theme and Apps section. Change the grid size to a 7rowsx6columns. That should help.
I use Apex Pro. Or use a non grid launcher like TSF shell or ssLauncher.

Launcher settings have nothing to do with 'resolution'. That's what I was talking about
Use ANY other launcher and you will fix the spacing issue.

Well if you are on Cyanogen or any other rom based on it, you can enable soft keys or just like @geniusboy93 suggested you can use pie controls. Go to themes and apps section and look for pie controls.
