Menu's opening at the top not the bottom. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know it has something to do with the overflow menu, but is a way to make the menus open at the bottom instead of the top? every other android device I've had has opened the menu at the bottom not the top.

It actually depends on the app. If you press the menu key when on the homescreen, the menu appears at the bottom. If you do it on the Play Store, it appears at the top.
If you want all the menus to appear at the bottom, you have to change a value in the build.prop.

That's what I'm looking for! which one!

With a little more digging I finally found it thx to build.prop tip
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

keep in mind if you're on stock, but rooted, you will not be able to install the OTA because you changed the build.prop

just because you changed build.prop doesn't mean you're not running stock.

Well this stopped working on most roms within the last month...
Anybody got any other Ideas on how to get this working?
So far the only Rom that actually has this setup is PACman
which is an awesome Rom, don't get me wrong but it's just a little too much for me
My favorite rom thus far is SlimBean so if anybody can get this to work right please let me know.

Transparent MMS

Here is a transparent MMS working for the Nexus! Delete the original MMS and install this in its place through something like drop box as you would any other apk. This is the original work of Dhacker so the main credit goes to him, I just themed it a little more. Let me know if you would like it themed with a personal touch of your own? Enjoy!

The thread was made merely minutes ago. My thread took 3 days for someone to notice it. The phone is yet to be popular so give it a chance, this thread will be on fire soon
Any screenshots or pictures?
Thank you, I hope so, just helping the community with things I like and have altered to work for this phone.

Mine shows only phone numbers, no names. FC's when I open settings.
Yes, download the apk tool and decompile it then change any setting you want,,,just be careful some changes to .png's or xml's do not go so well so it may take a few tries to get everything to work.

Slimbean available for m7vzw

Im not sure if this is appropriate, but Im doing it anyway
Im not a developer and a thread hasnt been started but slimbean just added m7vzw as a supported device. It was by far my favorite rom on my galaxy s3 and ive got it up and running now and its great.

I wish all developers would at the very least create a thread in the development thread linking to their 3rd party site for their ROM. I'm not a fan of having to go to multiple sources to get a ROM.
i agree. since we might not see a thread I thought id post.
its a great rom. in my opinion anyway.

I agree. Had been using Illusion ROM but this seems snappier and more polished after a couple of hours of usage.
Did like having Voice+. Anyone know how to add it to Slim?

Hopefully they get a forum on their website running soon! I like tracking the development of a ROM!
Thanks for posting. I'd never have known about this ROM otherwise.
One question: Upon installing, everything comes up on the screen smaller than usual. I'm sure there's a fix. Can you shed any light?
Thanks again!

Hah, I like that everything is "smaller than usual".
The LCD density is set to 361 by default in this build. To change it: Settings > Interface > LCD Density. Default for this phone is 480 (which I find to be *way* too big).

If you like everything "smaller than usual," I'm going to go ahead and guess that you're a "lot younger than me." You'll be old too someday, you whippersnapper.

I can't change the LCD density because the ROM thinks I'm not rooted. Installing SU and updating the binaries didn't fix it. Finding root access fails. I was coming from CM 10.2.

Sorry, no ideas as to why that's happening. Could be that SuperSU install from recovery changed something around and it's managing those calls.

Remove shadow from dockbar in sense

I for the life of me can't figure this out, and searching for the last hour has yielded me nothing but sweet screenshots of people without this shadow. I'm rooted with s off, currently running viper one. If someone could point me to a thread that would be awesome.

As for professing love in a manly way, it's a lot of fumbling my words and kicking the dirt and I stare at my feet. Oh, and I possibly offend you unintentionally.

Thank you for this i like the GPE dialer instead of the sense one
I still use ExDialer, but would love to switch to GPE if I could get the same look out of it... black with dial-pad taking up less than half the space and at least 3.5 contacts from Call History showing at the top (plus swipe contact row right to call or left to txt).
Is any of that possible with any mods?
Thanks for this!
It's working for me with one small problem. The keypad doesn't seem to work in-call. Is this a known problem with a workaround?

My keypad works just fine during calls? What's your setup? Maybe try wiping app data via settings>apps>all and choose phone then clear data.
No dice. I had messed with trying to install GPE Dialer before finding this mod, so tomorrow I'll RUU and try it fresh to see how it goes.

Are you rooted? I'm running non-rooted stock Dev Edition ROM. Flashed the zip but new dialer does not show up. Still have Sense dialer and cannot find the GPE Phone icon in app drawer. I can see in the app in all Apps but no way to open the app.

Keep in mind, it was buggy for me for about 5 minutes. Been working fine since.
I'll install one more time and give it a few hours. Is there any chance this is a problem for me because I'm on Verizon? Are dialer/phone mods like this carrier/radio agnostic?

never hide softkeys

Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.
Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.
I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

Oh yeah, and any time you install a new module in Xposed, it won't be active until you reboot.
Absolutely smashing, thanks. I've flashed the zip and now I'm waiting for it to load up, then I'll install the apk and find the module.

Strange... Is the module working in general? Did you check the box in 'modules' screen in Xposed? I tested it on several apps and it was good...
I don't think so... It's ticked and I've rebooted and all that. The Adblocker module I found is working fine. Strange.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Any suggestions please? lol!! It's winding me up big time :/

Are you sure? Reading the description that seems to do the opposite to what I want?
I want the navigation bar to be visible even in full screen mode. The girlfriend's mum can't grasp the concept of swipe to show the navigation and she keeps forgetting when we tell her, so by having it always visible we remove that obstacle

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...
Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!
That didn't work either unfortunately

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.
Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNEq8r_Pm6GfpwU6u7O8w_Uh5UwLUg
I think I tried that as well, but like you say, it gets in the way. It got in the way and I didn't look any more into it. I'll give it a go and look more at it when I get home from work. Cheers.
