[SOLVED] Expanded Desktop(Fullscreen) for Stock/TW ROMS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is there a way to hide the status bar/expanded desktop on a stock/tw ROM while still being able to see "Recent Apps"(long press home) and also "Expand Notifications"(through PIE chevron target).
On AOSP/AOKP, you can enable Expanded Desktop via Power Menu(long press Power button) and still be able to select Recent Apps and Expand Notifications no problem.
On stock/tw ROMs, I setup "hide status bar" through GMD Gesture Control but it seems to be just killing the System UI process because also incoming calls ring the ringtone, but don't pop up on the screen. VERY ANNOYING lol any suggestions?

*cricket cricket*

TW is a love/hate thing for me...
Hiding status does exactly what you describe. The UI is disabled, and the functions simply stop working all together. ( Hey SAMMY !!...that was a cheap trick)...LOL
The only way I know to get the function you want, is by using the AO builds. Stock TW builds or our variants do not have this function baked in, to my knowledge....g

Are you willing to use a different launcher? Nova allows you to hide the status bar

App for toggles in notification bar?

Is there an app to put toggles in the pull down bar so I can customize what buttons are there? Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Don't think so.
But most custom ROMs these days have it automatically built in.
And if they don't, there are usually flashable zips for it in the Themes/Apps section.
Widgetsoid does this. It's slightly buggy (ie: a popup with the widget comes up when you toggle something) and you have to have the widget on a homescreen. The widget can be invisible if you so choose but it still takes up space (I think, never tried it). If you have multiple launchers just put it on the one you're not using if you don't want it.
But yeah, it's a great toggle app & it's free. I used the notification toggles before I switched to cyanogenmod, now I don't need them but I still use the widgets.
By the way, you'll need to get the version named "widgetsoid 2.x*
Hope this is what you're looking for :]

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.

[REQUEST ] [MOD] Quick access button on navbar

Would it be possible to mod the navbar and add a quick access button for applications?
I mean the button will show a top dropdown menu with some applications, like this we can access them quickly instead of returning in home and launch the drawer?

[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.

Change/reorder/add quick setting tiles

Is there a way to change, reorder and/or add (such as reboot, screen off etc) quick tiles to the stock rooted T-Mobile touch wiz rom? I tried xposed with wanam but there is no setting. I know that gravitybox on aosp roms can do that but is there any option on touchwiz?

Yes you can do that, the way to do it is you click either one of the two little icons
on the top right side of the screen, one of them allows you to reorder toggles, and
the other one allows you to actually enable/disable any of the toggles.
There is no need to use gravity, wanam or anything else.
Good luck!
Thanks. That worked. I don't know why I thought that you needed a program/root for such a basic thing...
