Is there a way in any 4.4 ROMs to enable the Desktop View (ie: hide the navigation buttons below while either showing the notifaction bar at top or hiding that as well).
I love having the full use of my 4.5" screen on my Galaxy Nexus and I find it when I flash the 4.4 ROMs, this is the main thing i miss about coming from 4.3 and being able to use LMT.

Just wondering if there is an auto-hide feature for the nav bar? I'm not talking about permanently hiding it. I'm looking for something along the lines of the behavior seen when using Youtube in full screen. I believe AOKP has the option to hide permanently, but I prefer Liquid smooth...
Any other options?
Thanks!
Liquid has the permanent hide as well.
There is no autohide as of right now.

ICS in tablet mode has this capability. Try Pandandroid.
Actually... that would be a very interested integration with AOKP. I'd imagine something along the lines of Paranoid Androids per-app DPI setting, as in you go into your settings and check which apps should hide nav bar upon start and then bring it back up again upon exit. This sounds like a difficult task though...
I agree specially for jb, some apps dont function properly unless you hide the nav bar!!
I have the non-developer edition RAZR M, but I have root. I am looking to remove the navigation bar from the bottom of the screen, to ultimately increase screen size. I have done some searching around other forums and other devices where this has been done, and it seems the files to change might be located in the SystemUI.apk. Can anyone confirm this? Also, without having a custom recovery, will it be able to make these changes by simply replacing the files through either root explorer, or adb, rather than needing to create a flashable zip? Any guidance on this mod would be appreciated, and I would love to share something like this with the wonderful XDA community.

Since the Razr M doesn't have hardware buttons for home, multitask, etc how would you navigate? I've seen some apps that temporarily hide the navigation bar when playing fullscreen movies, etc.

There is a navigation bar launcher called LMT. It's extremely customizable and even allows for changing long press options. Check it out here:

I use GMD Gesture Control:

Not only can you have gestures to go back / home etc, but you can have a gesture to hide & show the navigation bar and have access to the full screen. The only downside I've seen is when the navigation bar is hidden, incoming calls don't display properly, and you need to show the navigation bar before accepting the call. Make sure you have the navigation bar enable itself when turning off the screen so call notifications will work properly.

This is a root app that is super stable and though it says "for tablets" it works fine on our phone.
It allows you to hide the status and nav bars through a super customizable corner pie.
The paid versions adds the ability to enable/disable the bars automatically on a per app basis.

i have t-mobile stock rooted rom and would like to know if its possible to make it run in expanded mode or without status bar showing,
i found one app that hides it (GMD Hide Bar ★ root), but then a lot of functions stop working. phone calls are hard to pick up and they dont show up on the phone and task switcher stops working
do alternative exist ?
thank you
atrix like dt
Thats a good question I remember when the first atrix came out, the laptop adapter mode was not that bad it was just slow
Is there any app thst gives the sgn2 that same kind of look and feel .
If you use a launcher such as go launcher it can autohide while on home screen but still shows up in apps
pressing and holding the home button on the Note 2 will bring up the Task Manager and Recent Apps, a list of your last used apps appears, including a view of last used apps,
Is there a way to hide the mini view of the used apps?,
In Note 1 with gingerbread, the list of recent apps, only shows the icon of the used apps, but with Jelly Bean, appear a mini view of the used apps,
i want to hide the mini view of the apps, or well, only the icons like GB,
is there a way to do that? I'm on stock TouchWiz with JB 4.1.2

Just swipe away the ones you don't want to show.
Also I think in developer options somewhere these is a setting to kill the app immediately upon exit of you want to try that route.
I'm looking for a way to make the navigation bar transparent so when in an app like Chrome or YouTube you can see what's on the tab itself rather than the black bar with the navigation keys. I tried using apps that hide the navigation bar but I felt that it added an unnecessary stuff. So what I'm looking for is a way to make the bar transparent but still have the navigation buttons (home, multi function and back buttons) still be accessible. Anyone in know how this can be done? Also, not looking for ways that require root.

I'd like to know this as well. I know you can use Nav Bar Apps (Play Store link) to change the color of the Nav bar based on the app you are using. However, I haven't been able to use it to make the nav bar transparent.
For now, I've enabled full immersive mode and use Pie Control (Play Store link). So I almost never see the nav bar on the bottom of the screen. The only time the bottom nav bar shows up is with the Google Keyboard and I haven't figured out a way to disable that yet.

I basically spent the whole day looking for an answer but the closest I came was a video on how to do it on a LG g3. It requires root though. Can't believe that with all the thin bezels this year, a way hasn't been found. It defeats the purpose to having thin bezels when the navigation bar makes it look like the bezels are huge. Smh
I'd like the same!! I've enabled immersive mode, but when it's enabled, it causes weird locking/unlocking screen issues.

Check the thread where you got the adb command. There is an shell command you can execute and it's fixed the freezes for me.

I use this app and it works great. But, you might want to check the date of the post you're replying to next time. Last response before yours was from two years ago.
