How to Disable 3-dot menu? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

How to disable 3-dot menu in GE based roms
Don't like them, cause GS4 has hardware menu button and they take extra space!
Thanks in advance!

I second this request would like to know of a mod or a work around we could do ours selves
I have GPE Rom by DANVDH Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
one thing i noticed after flashing this rom is that it changed my model number from SGH-M919 to GT-I950G
and wondering if that might be the cause because perhaps the apps have this 3dot menu for that phone model
but if I change the build.prop to this:
Original T-Mobile Galaxy S4 build.prop
ro.product.model=SGH-M919
ro.product.name=jfltetmo
ro.product.device=jfltetmo
would it solve my problem or cause other problems?

The three dots (expanded menu) is there for tablets. What are your dpi settings? Also, some apps have it hard coded to the three dots. It's just how it is. Mg dpi is 320 and root explorer does not have those three dots, but on tablet it does.

On the Nexus 5 like devices with software menus keys thats required there are no other way to access the menus, but on the devices with hardware menu keys like GS4 and others there no need for it plus they take extra spaces on the already small screens. By the way on the stock GS4 roms there no 3-dot menus!
I think thats need to be disabled on the rom level...

What ROM are you running? Its definately a ROM thing. I thought you meant the three dots as shown in the picture with the zoomed in circle.

I'm using (4.4.2 Danvdh - Google Edition) ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361

HELP
Any one???

You can delete the apps on the other screens and it will delete the screen. Or add screens by dragging Apps to them.

Do all of your apps have the 3 button menu option showing? Or just certain ones?

[REQ] NavBar Mod

Hi devs.
This might be an extra thread so if it is, I apologize and it can be locked. I've searched for one but couldn't find.
I've been getting used to using the stock browser rather than what Google called chrome.
On it is a lab feature for quick control like illustrated below.
Is there any similar or possible mod for NavBar to appear this way through out Android system on Nexus 4?

Although this doesn't make the phone fill screen, I bet you can get a ROM that takes navigation bar out.
Also follow the installation instruction provided on the link!

AOKP has a feature called "Expanded Desktop" which can be toggled through the power menu that allows the NavBar to be hidden.
Check that out.
There's also Button Savior which can be hidden until you want them back. I like them.

Its actually on my CM10.1 as well. I just wished there was a sort of gesture to the CM version. Instead of pushing the power button for expanded screen.
Hopefully someday.
Swagged out of my N⁴ using XDA Premium
On paranoidandroid, in beta 8 and beyond there's a setting that lets you reduce the navigation bar to 0%, which gets rid of the navigation bar but still keeps the status bar.
I've been using my nexus like this with LMT, and it works perfectly, with the extra 80 something pixels from navigation bar. it looks really nice.
There is an app. it is called hidebar
www.ppareit.github.com/HideBar
it stays in the notifs and when you tap it it removes the buttons until you touch either the top or bottom of the screen which brings them back.
have fun

LTE OTA update new features scavenger hunt

Maybe a more thorough change log is available somewhere, but I haven't seen it. So I'm just gonna start a thread for folks to post any goodies they find.
So here's what I've noticed:
Updated boot screen
Notification panel options (including ability to customize settings toggles!)
Smart stay/rotation icon per persists on bar (now changes to white when software is triggered)
S-pen hover over folders on TW home screens gives fan out animation preview
Any more?
Served up by the TMo Note 2
We can now use the volume buttons as a shutter or zoom control for the camera.
There's new options in the camera for hdr mode
Also noticed the swipe screen EFFECT is gone when taking a screen shot

You can now open and close the multi window tray by long pressing the back button, this causes the little blue tab to be hidden so you don't have to see it all the time.

Running great for me. What bugs? Why do you keep closing the app to launch touch wiz? By profile you mean
System settings or what? I see all of my apps just fine.
I am running Paranoid Android rom and when I try to open the app, it says my device is not supported. Does it only support TW based rom for our note 2?

[Q] Stock ICS recent apps on stock rom?

I don't use small apps and I like large thumbnails for switching between apps.

Possible or it depends on the framework? I know you can get the aosp lockscreen by deleting uxpnxtlockscreen.apk, is something like that possible for the recent apps?

I already did that, that just disables the small apps bar. The thumbnails are still on the right hand side, exactly the same and I consider them to be small.
I'd like AOSP version, I think Sony ICS version was also the same.

It's still a little buggy for me. Camera still has a purple tint, Subway Surfers isn't working(only game I play, LOL) and battery drains too fast for me; phone lost like 25% over night while deep sleep. All that on OpenSemc RC2, once those are fixed(fingers crossed for Rayman) I'm never going back to stock.

[Q] Is there a way to"force" the notification bar to remain displayed?

This is one thing I miss about my old note-the ability to see the time, etc while inside any app. I've looked through the settings but did not see anything. Is it possible to have the notification bar always available?

Is there no way to force the status bar to show no matter the app that is running? I miss the time being displayed and being able to quickly/easily see what message just came through.

Install "app settings"in Xposed and you can set your preference for every app.You need root for this.

Must be a touchwiz thing. I installed Nova Launcher when I first got the tablet so not sure but my notification bar is always displayed.

I use nova. Maybe it is a setting from Within nova but when in an app like plants vs zombies 2, I hear a notification but cannot see anything. I also don't see the clock.

This is from within the PlayOn app. No notification bar. It is hard to even get it to pull down

If I remember correctly you should be able to do this in Nova without root. Go to the settings and dig a little.
