My pie control is walking out of the kitchen, away from it's warm goodness :silly:

I use both Pie control / navigation bar all the time on AOSP roms.
waiting for a JB stock rom that has the navi bar though because sometimes
like the HyperDrive rom i use the pie control gets in the way with certain
things i do. XD

I have it installed, but had to find the perfect spot to use it on... I didn't like it when it was on either side of the screen (always messed up various actions in different apps). When it was at the top of the screen, it interfered with pulling down the notification bar. I finally put it at the bottom of the screen, with a relatively small hit-box, so that I could still pull it up intentionally but wouldn't kick it up when I didn't want to.

[Q] Swipe gestures instead of navbar

Hello,
is there an app out which perform navbar actions (home/back/multitasking) with swipe gestures?
Like if you swipe from the bottom up it goes back to the Launcher like the home Button?
Would be very nice
Thanks in advance

im pretty sure most launchers from the play store can do this. try apex or nova

I dont think any launcher can do this ^^
But i found a solution : LMT

Pie-Features with LMT Launcher *Root*

Hi, LMT Launcher indeed does what you want.
Here is a link to the XDA Forum Page.
Also, a few of the ROMs in the GNEX Forum come with Pie Features in-built. eg: ParanoidAndroid, ATOM, Xylon, etc.

Ya i know , im using jbsourcery , but the pies take very more time than the normal softkeys or the gestures
And LMT's gesture or ISAS feature doesnt react properly (not as fast as the normal softkeys)..
I want sth. similar to Zephyr for IOS .. Swipe up from the bottom to go back to the Homescreen or pull up the Multitasking..
Nothing like that out yet?

[XPOSED][KK](1.3) LG Pie Support

Introduction
Did you upgraded to KitKat and want to hide Navigation Bar and use third party Pie control like LMT?
Well, maybe you find that LMT doesn't show from the bottom of screen after you did all above steps, right? It happen to me too.
This is why I created this Xposed mod. It will disable Navigation Ring, so your third party navigation will again show at the bottom of screen. Enjoy!

Hi @smyrosnik and @6ril1,
I have 20a and no lg keyboard fc issue. Can you provide me logcat?
My LG keyboard version is 4.4.28, if you have older, try software update.
I don't think weather is broken by my mod. It doesn't work at all, no matter if I activate or disable my mod.

I am guessing the mod is modifying build.prop. In this case whether I try to hide navigation button through the mod or by addding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to that file has the same result. It causes the weather widget to malfunction and sometimes the keyboard fc. The keyboard version is 4.4.22. I have used both Stock 4.4.2 international version for D802 and CloudyStock 1.2. Same problem
I will provide the log as soon as possible.

Not modifying build.prop, but overwrite android config value. Basically output is same. As you guys said, this is common way for most mods to hide navigation, nothing special.
Weird is that weather widget doesn't work on my device. When I add it to home screen or lock screen it ask to download 75MB update. After that update add again doesn't work at all.

Any idea why the mod doesn't seem to do anything? Installed,activated and rebooted, the navigation bar is still there. Would love to get some pie for the stock ROM finally,feels so cramped with the bar

Can you post Xposed log?
Do you have any other mod activated, which have options to tweak navigation bar?
It could be that this other mod revert it back.

Nevermind this was caused by leftover line in build.prop (hwkeys=0), works great now after removing it. Now the only problem is that stock keyboard doesn't show suggestions, otherwise it works well but the boxes where the suggestions should be are empty. That I can live with

This is really weird. I got similar issue when I upgraded LG Keyboard to 4.4.23 version. It break keyboard theme. Actually suggestions were there, but they got same text color like background, so it looks like empty.

Big thanks... I have found it many times... Great work...

My keyboard doesn't FC, it just doesn't show suggestions. Back to Swiftkey for the time being

Hi, I'm using this mod but I still have the navigation ring.
When I activate it only soft keys disappears.
I use only this mod + gravity box.

You gave me light at the end of the tunnel. I was about to convince myself a huge nav bar is fine, until I saw this. Works great with GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys.
Thanks!

Well, your screenshot show gravity box crash. Gravity box is quite powerfull mod, it tweaks a lot of things. Try to check it's settings if there is anything related to Navigation Ring. Like I wrote before, if using multiple mod which tweaks navigation bar, it could happen that my mod disable it and next mod enable again.
You can simply confirm it by disabling gravity box for the moment and restart.

What I see is a lot of missing files and resources needed for keyboard to run. This looks really strange. You are running original LG stock ROM? Anything disabled or removed?
I don't think I can solve missing keyboard files. Do you have latest 4.4.28 keyboard?

[Q] [Paranoid Android] - Pie Control settings

So i recently instaled PA on my Nexus 7 and so far it's been ok, I like the ROM but the main reason I installed it was for the Pie control / Immersive Mode without having to install a module for it bt still being able to use the THEME engine from CM11 (my fav rom)
that being said, I've been trying to find the settings for the pie control so I can make the clock and info show up quicker, is there a menu for it ? was I just not able to find it ?

Sorry, but there's no such thing.
I wish I could stop using PIE and start using KitKat controls again instead.

you mean the NavBar? you just need to turn off Immersive mode

Yes, the NavBar. But the semi-transparent one, not the gradient one. The one you can use while using Immersive mode.

TAP the little square on top of the immersive mode button, it'll switch to another button that can give you options for what you wanna do

Question I am looking for a custom rom or an app/tool to customize and change recents app view

Hi there
Could anyone help me on this matter?
I am looking to customize and change the recents app view, I think it is called the overview window as well, as i do not like the way it looks on android 12, when it shows the app screenshots side by side and you have to scroll through them.
I'd like a lighter, simpler way to use the recents app screen, does anyone know of a custom rom that let's me do this or a tool that can let me customize the app switcher?
Thank you

the new version of poco launcher (4.xx) has an option to change it

Are you on an AOSP Custom ROM? I know there's "QuickSwitch" on GitHub. It lets you change the 'Recents' to that of another installed launcher, however the launcher must support being the Recents-provider.
QuickSwitch is good for when you're on MIUI and like to have the AOSP 'Recents' by selecting Lawnchair as the Recents-provider.
Other than that... MIUI has a vertical Recents option as well. Some versions of MIUI don't have the vertical option, IDK why... I have it on my Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM (MIUI 13).
