Hide soft keys like Huawei Ascend Mate

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.

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.

Thanks for this mod.

i have somewhat weird issue: the plug & pop pop up at the bottom pops up without a prolem on USB connect but the phone never asks me what do i want to do with it and just puts it the charging mode. the checkbox is checked in the settings to ask me upon connection. anybody experienced this?

I don't have such issue. First what I got in mind is that your cable have broken data wires, so it allow only charging. Can you manually change it to MTP connection in settings and it work?

Yeah, he should check that cable. I'm using few different data cables and no problem here.
This LG Plug & Pop tool show animation when:
USB data cable
Headphones
Dock station
are plugged in. After that bottom animation finished, it call other related application activity. So issue lays in Settings App, why that selections are not shown.

Tyvm, working great. Wish u all the best.?

I am using it with GMD, does the job perfectly. (I his my nav bar and used edge gestures in place of buttons)
Thanks so much dev!! I previously resorted to setting the nav bar height to 1% but that created a lot of problems.
Do you happen to have a fix for double tap on the clock quick window widget? After I disabled the stock player, double tapping on the clock doesn't turn it off but double tapping on the weather one does :/

You can post your quick view issue in own thread, either here or in [Q&A]. I don't want to promise anything, but maybe I could have a look.
So let's discuss it somewhere else.

Installed and working perfectly on VS980 (Verizon). Also works with LMT without issue. Thanks for this!!

Forgive my ignorance, but does this only work if you completely remove nav bar? I just shrunk mine by 20% and get plug n play close. Will this work for me? Or is that a feature that could be added?

[Q] Xposed

This may be a stupid question, but will Xposed work for the 7a? I strongly dislike Color OS and am waiting patiently for ROMS, but in the meantime I'd like to use Xposed to tweak some of the small annoyances of Color OS.

update: I installed Xposed and none of the modules that I am interested in seem to work. I really want the exchange security bypass (for lock screen features) and on-screen keys. I realize there is a work-around for on-screen keys, but I wanted to take the easy way out

Xposed will work. I use it without issues. As to whether modules you want work, that's a whole other story.

It's already in the center on ColorOS which causes notifications to often go into overflow... I HATE centerclock for this reason (and you'll find that issue is why many custom firmwares refuse to merge that feature - it breaks notification icon layout)

To be prevent confusion its on the right in 1.2 and center in the beta although I think both could be fairly described as beta but that's grist for a different thread. lol At any rate totally agree. Center clocks serve no purpose I can discern but reduce the available notification area by more than half and even a pathetic old man like me who no one talks to can run out of space up there pretty quick with one.

Disabling Nav bar stops camera buttons working??

Hey all
I've never been a fan of nav bars, on previous phones I have been able to remove the Nav Bar and then use LMT launcher instead.
Although this causes issues on the G3, when you remove the nav bar you can no longer press any buttons on the camera app? Anyone got any idea how to fix this?
I've tried editing the build prop and using the lg xposed module and it happens on both

If you use LG Pie Support xposed module, it has a hook that sets the navbar @ 0px and hidden, so it's active but not visible/usable.
Only issue w/ this is that some apps will make space at the bottom of the screen as if the navbar is present.

Hey, iam on a nvidia shield tablet, but want navbar on right side in landscape. I tried gravity box + phab7.
It moves my navbar but all buttons are gone. If i enable the cursor keys while in text, i can see the left cursor. This makes me think the buttons are just outside of the visible area maybe?
Any ideas or someone who experienced the same issue?
