Hello everyone. Most of us are familiar with the intense light bleeding at the bottom of the device that shows up in light backgrounds and low brightness. It can get really distracting in some videos or games when the brightness is low. So, since replacing it has little chance to fix this, i took a lool at my Nexus 4 and noticed how the navigation bar stays on the right in landscape mode. This would hide the bleeding on the G if properly rotated. There must be a way to force the position of the nav bar to a specific side on the screen. Any ideas how this could be accomplished? The GDA app unfortunately is incapable of hiding the normal nav bar for me.

I'm currently using cm9 nightly build and everything works pretty well.
I know that in AOKP we can change the on-screen navibar's colour, size etc and I think it is a great feature. However I just figure out an alternative way to further delay the screen burn-in, sorry I'm a noob i don't know jack about coding...
Is it possible that, in each time, when you turn on your screen, your navibar's keys colour will change randomly. For example, when you turn on your screen, the keys are yellow, you turn off your screen and turn on it again, this time the keys are red etc.
With AOPK, you can disable the Nav Bar and change transparency. Enabling 180* rotation the Nav Bar follows. You can enable Nav Bar options in the Power Menu as well, but that's not exactly convenience.
There is also this gesture app LMT, but I don't use it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
I just hide the top and bottom bar each day with aokp, browse the web with total full screen, and my burn in is gone. Just need to exercise those pixels is all.
The power button menu has a show/hide nav button shortcut, so easy to do.
How long would it take for burn in? Back on my Samsung Vibrant, never had that issue, and it was Super Amoled.
I don't do any fancy things like you guys do. I just rotate my phone from portrait to landscape to where the nav bar is next to the front cam. I do this every time i'm on landscape. That way all the pixels get used/exercised. I don't suffer from any burn in had my phone since Feb.

that's a great idea, we can also use our phone upside down with the option rotate 180 degree on. lolol I can't stop laughing when I see myself using my phone upside down lol

Glad I could help Since the front of the phone is pretty much all black doesn't even make a difference to how it looks (cam on the left or right or even down )
Hi guys. I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Nexus with no screen defects (except for black splotches that only show up on black screen in a pitch dark room, so that doesn't matter). My brightness usually remains around 15%. It's been only 2.5 months, and I've noticed something. If the screen is displaying WHITE (with the top bar and the navigation keys hidden), the top-right of the screen has a slightly blue tint (at the place where the clock, WiFi, and the signals are displayed, and these elements are usually blue as you might know). I know I'm acting like a little OCD, but that's what my observation is. I don't want my beautiful screen to depreciate this way
My question is, how do I avoid this burn-in?
In addition to that, I also want to hide the on-screen navigation keys (but that's not a priority right now, would be good if you could help with that as well). In short, I want to avoid all sorts of burn-in to this AMOLED screen due to elements that are constantly displayed on the screen (like the navigation keys area, the status bar (and the clock, battery etc.).
Sorry if this is a repeated post or if this isn't the correct section. I've searched the forums but didn't find a solution.
Thanks in advance...
There really isn't much you can do about the burn in, specially on SAMOLED displays, it's part of their life cycle. One thing that does come to mind to slow down the burn in is to use something like PA's PIE, which turns the nav and status bar areas into usable real estate.
I have an NOKIA ICON that i run the Night Stand Clock on in the evening. I set the lighting to dim but the NAV buttons stay lit up all night (a bit annoying, but I have gotten use to it, hoping some help will make it go away). I was hoping someone could tell if there is a way to get them to dim after this app has been started or to permanently dim the NAV button lighting. Thanks for the help...

You can try icon opacity value.
Import with interoptool.
Seems like lots of pixel devices are suffering from screen burn in of the home buttons. Anyone else notice how annoyingly bright they are? Seems like it causes permanent damage after a while. What's everyone's thought on the issue? Does Google need to fix this or I am just in the minority in seeing this issue come up on multiple pixel devices?
It changes it's colors in Pie so no problems so far with 4 months old phone. Using bright wallpaper to get grey bars most of the time and dark themes to get color shifts from white to grey more often here.
I use "fluid n.g." for navigation, it gets rid of the possit of nav bar.
I also use the quick tiles apps to add immersive mode toggle to my quick tiles, I use it to put the status bar in immersive mode to hide it. So now status bar burn in.
No item is stationary on my phone. Burn in is the last of my problem, I've learned my lessom
Is it possible to bring down the brightness toggle so it can be reached with one hand without root? I use auto brightness but sometimes have to adjust it manually as it's not very accurate all the time.
As a work around I switch on one handed mode and move it this way which is a bit awkward.
Super staus bar is working for me until (hopefully) Gravitybox comes out for A12.

Almost certain not what you want, and definite overkill, but you could use Bottom Status Bar and only enable the brightness slider (and not the literal bottom status bar). The downside is that, unlike the native brightness slider, changing the brightness through Bottom Status Bar turns Auto brightness off. You could enable the brightness slider in it, and a Auto-Brightness toggle switch, but then you'd have to get used to manually turning auto-brightness back on. There are probably more complex things you could do with automation apps (Tasker, etc) but that would likely require root where Bottom Status Bar doesn't for these purposes. The good side is at least the brightness slider would be very available from the bottom of the screen. I hope a stock ADB and/or root solution comes eventually for the stock ROM. There's not too often a time I want to change it manually, but having to slide down twice to get to it is crazy.
Edit: @westhaking beat me. Super Status Bar is by the same author as Bottom Status Bar, but I don't remember what one has that the other doesn't, so perhaps go by his recommendation first unless you like the idea of BSB better, or SSB doesn't quite do it for you.
Just a guess that SSB probably has the same weakness I found in BSB, that using its brightness slider abilities disables automatic brightness.
BSB works quite well, thank you. Did not know about its existence. You are right, it switches off automatic brightness but it can be switched back again in BSB near brightness toggle. Can be good as a temporary solution.
Another workaround is an accessibility shortcut which is an eye sore but can be also used for switching volume and screen off.

Nice! I didn't expect it can be achieved without root and GravityBox and was looking for the solution for a long time. Thank you so much for bringing this app to my attention. Adjusting brightness by dragging along status bar is awesome!

Awesome, glad you found a temporary workaround. Here's hoping there'll be a better permanent solution for us all, eventually. I wish I was a real Dev. I can only repackage stuff...sometimes. I just don't have the patience to learn enough to be a Dev.

I just swipe down from the top twice and the brightness slider is there.

It's still stays at the top of the screen

I guess you can't reach the top of the screen in one handed mode.
Perplexed how nobody at Google development realised what an utterly stupid place the brightness bar is.
