hide the nav bar on lockscreen only?

I remember one of the first ROMs i flashed on my nexus was Code Name Android, and it had the option to hide the navigation bar on the lock screen only.
is this something that can easily be implemented into JB? i noticed it was taken off of ROMs because it interfered with incoming calls when the screen was on (wasn't able to answer call) just curious if it was ever fixed or if this is a simple mod that i could do myself with some layout tweaks or something.
anyone have a clue?

I use Widgetlocker - lock screen replacement app, and it has an option to hide the navigation bar. I highly recommend it, very customizable with tons of sliders/themes to choose from and is very light on using system resources and draining battery.

you sure about that? i know it has the option to hide the navigation bar buttons, but the black bar is still there.
i want the wallpaper to go from the notification bar all the way down to the bottom of the screen.

Oh okay. If that's the case then you'll need to go a different route. Widgetlocker just blacks it out.

Here is a screen cap of what it looks like.

Its not quite as bad on the device as it blends into the bottom of the phone but still not using the complete screen.

[APP] Remove bottom bar

Now that the nexus is rooted, HideBar can also be used to use the full screen:

Sorry to be a bother, but could you post a screen shot?

Yes, second for screen shot please

really nice work. I tryed the demo. It will hide the button-bar and the status-bar. But hey 3€ for this improvement is to high. Espacialy because in a few weeks there will be custom roms with this feature, too. Cyanogen and paranoid can do this too with longpress power button and expand Desktop i think.... and for free

It just removes the bar at the bottom of the screen. No point in making a screenshot
The demo is free. It fully works, all features as in the paid version, it just displays a small link to the market for a very short time. You can always buy the version at the market, great way to say thanks!

Does it just remove the bar but keep the buttons? I don't understand.

I think its neat but I wouldn't want to ruin the pure experience. I'll wait for Cyanogenmod to get a feature like this, they always follow Google style spot on.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for--just about. I knew I rooted for a reason. Didn't need BusyBox either.
I only wish there were more options to show the nav buttons. The current options are kinda easy to trigger for games.

Not bad. It would be useful to have a toggle on the power off screen menu. Loved that on a ROM I had on my Galaxy Nexus.

Thanks!! This is awesome. I cannot find anything free besides this.
Not everyone wants to flash a custom rom so this is great.

I'm personally not so worried about the drop down settings not actually being toggles. I don't mind the extra click for now.

This thing is cool. Would be nice if it would auto hide after a few seconds.

Cool... What I've been looking for! More real estate!!

damn awesome.
the ghost back button is a little tricky to find, but i'm getting used to it
a gesture to show hide the status bar would make it perfect

I would suggest Fullscreentoggle.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
for removing the navbar
and either GMD gesture controls or button savior (i use both) for navigation. Heres to taking back our entire screen

What I wonder is this. With 3rd party launchers, it's cake to hide the status bar. I swipe down to show it, I swipe down again to hide it. When it's hidden, it still shows for apps that've set the preference to leave it visible, whether or not you've hidden it in the launcher. Why hasn't this been implemented for the NavBar? Is it that much harder to do?

I used this method I'm on day 2 going on day 3 now using button savior and after the first 24 hours worth of use I've gotten used to using button savior and I love getting that extra real estate back. I was gonna post this method using the fullscreentoggle.apk while using button savior but I see u beat me to it.

I have been trying to use both of these apps but I cannot get them to function. Well button savoir works by showing the bottoms on the right when I want but I cannot get full screen to work..
I like the hide bar demo app but hate the ads. I just may have to buy. Just seems like there are so many apps that do so much for less than half the cost. I know it isn't a ton of cash but the app purchases add up.
The full screen app should make the bar disappear anyhow I believe..

Anyone else getting 'glitching/flicking' wallpaper on the home screens using the demo version ? ..maybe a reboot will fix, will try later.
Using a live wallpaper though is fine.
I'm still using it though, awesome app. If it's confirmed the full version is without this problem then i'm buying.

Luv having the full screen real estate! Im using the Fullscreentoggle.apk and Button Savior combination.

Here is an option;

flash the aokp rom. it lets you completely customize the nav bar. you can add buttons change buttons and edit things like height.
check it out here

What about the status bar on top. Is there a option or mod to hide it all the time til you swipe down or something. I know the hidebar app hides both the top bar and the bottom bar at all time. But you cannot swipe down or show only the status bar without showing the navbar. Anybody knows

Lots of options open up when you get the bought app. I built my gestures to make triangles and it works really well. They explain everything and make it pretty straightforward.

I use ADW Launcher EX and it allows you to do that in settings. I believe other 4.0+ launchers have it built in.

[Q]Sofkeys hidden in games, LS and HS

Hello!
I actually use a Xperia Z with softkeys hidden and the LMT Pie mod.
The problem is that I like the navbar in apps like chrome, phone, messages etc.
But I would like to see them dissapear in games, on the homescreen and lockscreen.
Would it be possible?
Thanks.

In fact, I want an automatic mod.
More simple, I would like the navbar to appear when the notification bar is showed.
In games, in the gallery, and on the homescreen, there are disabled (by stock apps or by features or others, like with nova)
Is that possible to detect if the notification bar is showed, and if it is, show the navbar and disable the pie?

Full!screen+ does that
As im new, cant post a link

U have ltm the does the navigation bar thing for u when u press in a certain spot in the screen and full screen toggle hides it. So what do u want. The softkeys are hidden permanent but ltm launcher pops his own half circle navigation buttons on the screen. Basically the same thing just the screen stealing software buttons are gone. Is that not for Ur satisfaction? It works perfectly.

In fact I would like the same as full!screen+, but with a lmt pie that pops up instead of these two quarters of round at the bottom.
EDIT: full!screen+ doesnt work, Nova shows a black bar (without softkeys) and many craches of "UISystem" (not systemUI)

Well u can make ltm launcher also open up the navigation bar left and right doesn't has to be bottom also u can expand the navigation bar and make many short cuts with it.

Moto G Nav Bar Transparency

The Nav Bar isn't all that transparent. Is there any way of increasing the transparency?
PS: I know about Gravity Box but it doesn't work great. The Nav Bar turns black every time I exit an app.

yes, Gravity Box doesn't work great. Nav Bar always turn black. and Gravity Box doesn't allow to switch back and recent key. The only benefit is can make Nav Bar a little bit thin.

Did you try Tinted Statusbar? - also an Xposed Module.

No, because that's for the status bar isn't it?

It also got a Option for the NavBar. Didn't try it myself 'cause I haven't got my Moto G yet, but you should give it a try since it's something like PA.

Hi, I to have had the same issues with gravity box transparent nav bar.
I have found however the the motoXposed app from play store works perfect, even when nav bar is 100 percent transparent.
It will also remove the carrier label. Hope this helps and remember to turn of nav bar transparency in gravity box or it won't work.

motoXposed works only on rooted devices - its a module of Xposed, not just an application.

Are you using a custom photo? I was playing around and noticed that if you use your own photo as a wallpaper and have it zoomed all the way out, KitKat will not position the photo under the nav bar to maximize the displayed width of the photo.
If you zoom into the photo just a little bit when positioning it, you'll get transparent nav bars again.

EDIT: Nvm, sorry. Apparently, I can't read.
