You can also just use a rom that support changing of the nav bar size. I currently use AOKP and in the settings I'm able to adjust how tall/wide my nav bar is.

Yup...As much as I'd like to use CM 10.1 I won't just because that option isn't there.
I mean isn't anyone bothered by how big and a space waster the default navbar size is (goes foe stock, ofc) ?

No not if you're 6'2 and have big fingers. I guess its better for people with smaller fingers if you want a smaller Nav bar

Could be... And didn't think of that!
I set it to 30 of the value offered (dpi?), or PA's tablet mode in 192 dpi which is of course too small. But I really can't accept the wasted room in my case, but good point you are making.
You can simply hide the whole bar using a one line build.prop edit, and use LMT (similar as The Pie) to emulate the hidden buttons (and much more). I did.
See?

FNV also has it. I knocked mine all the way down to 0, and it's gone. I'm also using GMD gesture control instead for navigation purposes, getting the most out of my nexus 4's screen

I used to do this on the Galaxy Nexus but I used LMT launcher instead. How easy is it to use GMD? I only use it for launching my universal search app

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.

Hello, can somebody port this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236937&page=3 to our devices as well ? when i flash it the dock icons are all out of order ;\
It is working great for me, you have to flash the xhdpi version. The only "issue" is the page indicator in homescreen, the dock icons overlap the page indicator but thats ok. You can also enable pie and expanded desktop and it will look beautiful.

" It is working great for me the dock icons overlap the page indicator but thats ok. "
Its working great when the dock icons overlap the page indicator ???
I don't know what your phones look like but for me its looking absolutely ugly !!
I also really hope that one of our genius devs here can take a look into it and ADJUST it so that it is working fine ( without the need of pie ).
The launcher is nice. I found another issue. If you set it on list view and have folder created, then you can't open it.
I think i found out why its happening... unlike other XHDPI phones the nexus has onscreen buttons right? so the launcher gives space from the bottom for the nav bar compressing the contents of the launcher together causing the overlaps. I guessed this since i tried this on Paranoid Android and when i put the nav bar size to 0%, and used Pie Navigation, the overlapping was gone. But bring back the nav bar though.... the icons overlap again.
Im still using it along with pie right now and havnt found any other issues with the launcher except for some lags.
Here's a screen shot... :good:
I will post a flashable zip on the launcher later
This is how it looks on my galaxy nexus

Using exposed and app settings does anybody know what process or application I modify the DPI of in order to affect the size of the notification pull down?
SystemUI. However, it leaves a little bar at the top that apps don't draw on. It's like Samsung hard coded the number of pixels to use. If someone has a fix for that, I'd love it.

I got around it by changing dpi via build.prop. I needed the status bar and notification space. Without root and dpi changes there isn't near enough room for all my note is doing.

I'll have to try that. I've been avoiding it as some of the Samsung apps didn't handle it well on the note 2.

They still don't. You have to use xposed to set those back to 480.

The Note 2 is a 720 screen and the Note 3 is a 1080 so the DPI settings will be very different. I personally have been using 340 and like it. I would use 340 as a base line and go up or down from there to fine tune the size to your liking.
Thanks. That is perfect. Looks a lot better with that dpi, comparable to how I had my n2 in terms of real estate.

Is there a setting that can edited to make the status bar to go to the bottom? I'm missing that from my note 2 with the phablet view.

As of now there is no way to get tablet ui on kitkat. Google apparently removed the code. In previous versions the tablet ui was still there just not being used.

What about cyanmod 10.2 based on 4.3?
Even the new 4.2 for nexus 10 doesnt have tablet ui anymore
Apex launcher, and no doubt Nova, allow you to combine the Nav/notification bar for a slightly tabified ui. They also allow other config options like being able to disable the dock and/or the notification bar for a full screen display.
You could look into Xposed modules for changing DPI, but I have no idea how those work with kitkat.

Sorry, I forgot that setting in Apex only disables the dock and puts a persistent search bar at the top. Not very tablified.
Since I accidentially updated to a newer CM10.2 I miss my TabletUI and even more since I saw the new ipad mini retina this weekend. I would do it on my own, but I don't know how.
Please somebody who did it in the past post an TabletUI update for the stable CM10.2 or give me some hints how to make this patch on my own.

Just would have include all the the code google removed.
But the best would be to bid farewell to this relict of the past.
(Tablet UI is now dead for more than 2 years so let it rest in peace.)

Ok, I understand. But I don't want to give up! Why should I buy a tablet with super high resolution and then waste the space with useless notification bars? I made a tabletUI Update for the stable CM10.2 for DEB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48538860&postcount=104
We will see what the next Android Update brings...
You know that Android 4.4. introduced the immersive mode.
Developer just need to use it in their apps.
Are there any devs or someone smarter than me, that could theme the top notification bar and bottom navigation bar to be semi transparent/fully transparent like how it is on the homescreen w kitkat, so when im in an app it could still be transparent instead of big black bars?
I'm a newb when it comes to editing ui files etc, thanks for the help.

I think when you update to 4.4.2 Google gave all the devices the transparency on both the nav bar and notification bar. Its even on the lockscreen too. If you open up some app they take advantage of it. Some apps don't such as fb. I think its up to the developers to update their apps. So I'm not convinced you need to modify your frameworks or anything like that its all enabled bone stock =]

I tried this before on aokp jellybean, its ugly because the transparency isnt within the apps (just like iOS) but the homescreen you can see your wallpaper while inside an app lol i guess it all depends on the app if it wants you to use full emersion :/

Only nexus 5 has transparent bar, nexus 4 update to 4.4.2 cannot install latest android home launcher.
You mean like this?

Just use a custom rom with it built in. Custom roms have had transparencies way back in the day. Where do you think Google got the idea?
Xposed does this well. You have to enable transparency AND have a launcher and touchscreen that supports it. If your launcher doesn't support it then it won't work. Gotta have both.
