I have cm10 with expanded desktop but I'm wondering if anyone has done a mod where a gesture will toggle the visibility of the soft keys. It's exactly what I, along with a ton of other people, are looking for. Hell, I'll pay someone to do it for us!!

What I think would be nice is if we could just get rid of the navbar and replace it with a gesture from the bottom edge to reveal the ring in my screenshot, except the nav controls will be on that ring
AFAIK GMD gesture control supports this. Not quite sure. Just try the lite version first.

Few options are out there already.
GMD - You can set various swipes such as 45* up/left for back, up for home, etc, activated at the bottom.
App that I forget the name of but enables pie control in any app. You can set multiple layers as well as an inner and outer pie ring, but this can get a bit clustered. Realistically you can probably set all of your most used apps into the pie on various layers though and get rid of every shortcut.
Latest PA has a more feature rich but less customized pie. Battery bar, time, notifications, access notification panel, per-app color of pie, and more. However, unlike the app above you cannot add additional items into the pie, at least not yet.

LMT with PIE Control is IMHO the Name of the app. In the last version it includes also the swipe from the bottom like in Para...Rom (don't know the name of the rom right now). But it's not the same. A simple swipe from the bottom and it should show the orig. softkeys. That would be soooooo cool! I would never ever switch back and set the expanded desktop active
I have GMD installed and I was not able to hide only the soft keys.
The only option I found hides the soft keys AND the notification bar on the top of the phone, so valuable info like battery, signal strength etc are also hidden.
Any ideas to hide only the soft keys?

Not totally gesture but u must take a look at paranoid android PIE control. It's still in beta but it has a lot of potential.
I think u would like it.... Here are some examples...

Exactly what I was looking for
But how stable is paranoid android compared to CM10
My main issue is I haven't found a good way of hiding the softkeys. GMD closes the whole SystemUI so lose the top bar and app switcher, and the Fullscreen Toggle that a lot of people use removes the in-app menu button which is not ideal as I don't really want to have a gesture just to access the basic menu.
Is there a good way of doing this that I've missed?

I'm running it from day 1 (got my N4 since half December) and it's perfectly stable. I always wait a little while before updating and follow the tread to be sure there are no great bugs. If everything's ok then I'll update to a newer version. The PIE option is really Beta so there will be some bugs.
I think u just must try it, paranoid android is really a original and renewing ROM. Not just because the pie, but also the hybrid, per app color and dpi option.
It's just as stable, if not more stable then cm10.1 The rom is based on AOSP so should be as stable as the original one.

The only annoying thing is that they took out the notification bar to use PIE.

That's because it's trigged by the expanded desktop.....
Remember it's a beta. Development is going very fast and I'm sure they will find a great solution for that.
Check his latest YouTube update and see the difference with earlier releases.....

Holy ****, that looks awesome.
AW: Hide soft keys like Huawei Ascend Mate
With AOKP you can enable this in the Power Menu.

Paranoid Android ROM has a new mod called "pie". Its exactly what you're looking for. You can use an app called Smart statusbar and it works beautifully with PIE.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I downloaded GMD pro and so far it's pretty cool. That PIE mod looks amazing. Any way someone can rip it and make it work with any ROM? If not, I might have to bite the bullet and just flash the ROM.

another option might be the Hide Bottom Bar app from the play store.
Is the ability to change what icons appear in the notification bar only available to international s3 phones without rooting and such?

i'll probably root eventually, i just wanted to change out the airplane mode toggle for the driving mode toggle and maybe remove a couple of others.
Ooooo I wasn't sure exactly what you were asking.
Only thing I know of is the 23 toggle mod, which is an easy enough flash if you are rooted. Wouldn't know another way, though.
There's a couple of apps in the play store which can add toggles but I'm not sure if root is required for those apps.

I am rooted and want to remove Airplane Mode and Power Saving and put other items there. Stock ROM (dont want to flash new rom).

Ah
Theres a mod called 20 toggle mod. That'll let you customize it and edit the order and everything. It also adds a bunch of other toggles

after doing a google search, I only found these options:

Here's a guide for the S3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840420
The S3's modded version works on the S2 found at the above link, but it's an older version for 4.1.1 and our S2 messaging app for 4.1.2 has a few extra features that are missing in the version on that page. One feature that I noticed missing that I use is the timed delay message.
So could anyone help me in modding the 4.1.2 messaging app to have the enable/disable screen on sms/mms for me?
This is especially needed when using dynamicnotifications.

Try this out.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287907
Gives you a toggle in the messaging settings to disable the auto screen on.

100000% thank you
How come I can not figure out how to get my quick settings to look like icons instead of list view. Anyone else know how to do this. I'll try to post a photo of one I've seen online.
Also, I guess AT&T has disabled the "mobile data" and "hotspot" quick toggle options, from the notification pull down.
I have friends and family with the verizon variant and they have some different quick toggles also not on AT&T UI. Such as "download booster"
Sure wish I had ROOT! It's the little things....
If anyone knows how to change any of this on the AT&T note 4 please help. Especially the quick settings portion of the menu. It's driving me insane. I want that icon view. And no I'm not talking about easy mode.
Hit the menu button inside your settings. Then hit view as and make your pick.
I'm also pretty underwhelmed with this update. While I love the speedup and smoothness of this I'm kinda disappointed that sammy(and att) left out a crap ton of 5+ goodies.
themeing options?
Underwhelmed is right. I thought lollipop was to bring icon / launcher themes. All I can find is "colorspace" profiles, or am I missing something?

List vs tab view. They still stay in list as far as the quick settings. It just separates all the others into other tabs. Still not icon view like photo I posted. Maybe its just the at&t version won't do it.

I really hate the camera api is not being utilized yet. I want manual camera bad!
Hi - I just set up a new S9 (AT&T). I installed my apps and went through some out of the box software updates so its now running 8.0.
Last night I noticed that when on my homescreen my Status Bar is now gone. It comes back if I open an app or go into the Apps drawer, but I cant see it from any page on my homescreen.
I can still swipe down from the top of the screen to get to the settings shortcuts, but I cant see Notifications, Battery, Signal, etc from any homescreen pages.
Its actually making me crazy - was hoping someone might have some thoughts on how to remedy this?
Thanks.
Hi after trying all morning I finally solved this - I found a lot of other posts outside XDA struggling with this issue so just wanted to update in case anyone else is having this problem.
I was using a picture as my wallpaper. For some reason this was making the bar invisible (or somehow the color changes to blend in to the background completely?). I changed to a Samsung stock wallpaper and it was visible again. I then changed back to set my picture as the wallpaper, and now the status bar is still visible...
Whatever - dont know why, but it worked!
