Is there a tutorial on how to get virtual power/home buttons on the status bar?
I know it can be done since I saw it in Mr.Luong ROM (which got banned here due to its inclusion of paid apps) and am wondering if I can mod the status bar myself. Thanks in advance!
the 23 toggles mod has the lock button...

Thanks for the reply but I don't mean in the notification drawer. The buttons I'm talking about are right on the status bar next to the clock or on the left where permanent notification icons are shown (like Viber) and they can be pressed without pulling down the noti drawer.
"Button Savior (Rooted)" is your sollutions
I too use button savior. . But the op needs something else

Thanks both of you but yeah, as pakure said, I need something else. I want to learn how to do it myself so that I don't have to rely on chefs to add/remove those features

Hi to all,
is there a way to manually start popup note or the only way is to enable popup note in Spen menu so it starts when i extract Spen?

forgive me for asking this question if it has already been asked.
does anyone know how to disable the back button at the bottom of the screen when using the s pen?
In the s memo. . You have a small icon at the bottom right to toggle between s pen only and both finger and s pen input

I do not know
There's a solution.
Just use app called gmd spen control. It disables all finger touches of you need it to.
You can even set it automatically to disable finger input when you pull out your spen.
(this app doesn't work on 4.4.2 yet)

I'm running PAC-Man ROM and am thankful for the settings that allow me to use gestures (when the S Pen's button is held) but it's a huge pain to have to hold the button for these gestures. The button on the pen is too low on the pen for my liking when I'm trying to use it as a pointing device/extension of my hand.
A couple of ideas I have had:
-the input settings that I described earlier
-the Sidebar application. I would love it if I could access shortcuts through Sidebar that emulate the back and menu keys but unfortunately the only button that can be emulated is the home key!
-CM S Pen Add-on used in conjunction with Note Buddy. I like the idea here, but I'd like to know if there's a way to automatically activate the AOSP on-screen buttons when I detach the S-Pen, but Note Buddy doesn't seem to support any extensions.
Are there any other solutions you guys have come up with that allow me to use my Note in a practical way with ONLY the S-Pen? That means I don't want to have to take any fingers off of the pen or have to lift my other hand to press the menu and back buttons.
I use GMD SPen control & cant say enugh good things about it! It can do everything you are looking for (I think) I have it open lecture notes when I detach the pen, & simulate the home button when I attach it! But you can set up any user gestures you want!
Just bought the pro version...
Very nice application...
And it's running well on carbon 1.8..
Thank you....g

I'm not really willing to shell out $6 just yet... I'll have to do some more research!
I also found another method: use the ribbons feature built into PAC-Man ROM (not sure if it's an AOKP feature) in order to swipe out a tray from the right side of the screen that has the nav buttons in it. Still wish I could get the real navbar to display by default though!
Edit: Just remembered there's also PA Pie.
To add a navbar to ANY rom that doesnt have one..
open your buildprop (in /system)
scroll down to the bottom, and after the last line, add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save the changes, reboot the phone, and BOOM, you have a navbar..works on AOSP and TW roms..

Getting a navbar to display is not the issue. What's difficult is trying to get the navbar to display only when the pen is detached! :/

I have a tasker task to launch with the help of secure settings to hide the navigation bar when spen is attached and to show it when I de-attach the spen. Just take advantage of the expandable desktop function (and select it to only hide the nav bar when pen is inserted).
Works like a charm.

Are you referring to the "Expand desktop" option under Custom ROM Actions? That option has a red circle next to it for me, meaning that it is not supported by my ROM. :'(
Which rom are you on? Is it featured in your rom?
If so, you need to turn on expanded desktop and reboot. You might also need to make secure settings a device administrator.
For me, on SlimBean, it's a red circle at first too, but it turns green when following my steps above.
Try it out and report your progress.

The reboot worked! Can't believe I hadn't thought of that. xP
As the title would suggest, I've found some Xposed based Nav Bar changes but mainly to the style of the buttons, I'm looking for something which has DPI changes (tweak box doesn't work for me with this function)....also something that adds a fourth button.
thanks

Nothing that I've come across gives me the option to place a FOURTH soft key.

I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as you but you can change and add 5 soft keys (navigation buttons?) under Settings, Display and Home touch buttons.. Then Button combination. Here you can drag buttons and rearrange your nav bar. .. Sorry if this is not what you're looking for

Hi,
I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 to the LG3.
This will be the first time I have a phone without physical buttons and I feel that too much space is taken up by the navigation bar.
Is there any way I can reduce the height of the navigation bar / buttons either within CM or using something else?
Thanks
