This is a must feature that I NEED.
Does anyone know how I can make it easy to toggle it???
If that option is not available, is there a way I make it go away??? There are a few Roms I wanna try that doesn't support this feature.

That's not exactly what I'm asking. I know it does do that though. I have tried CM9, APEX, AOKP(current), Paranoid Android, Codename Android, and JellyBean.
I just want to know how I can do this(like remove the Softkeys entirely or create a toggle) when I find a Rom that looks interesting that doesn't support the feature.
I dont own the Nexus but on my Galaxy Tab I have Galaxy Task 14 rom and it comes with an called "Hide Bar". It hides the Honeycomb soft keys. You should give this app a try and I think you have to be rooted.

you named more or less all custom ROMs you will need to ask the dev to implement it, i think. don't that there is an app solution or sth like that.
Am I mistaken, or is this a feature that is readily available in certain ROMs? You're talking about getting rid of the Back/Home/Recents, allowing full 720p glory, right? I'm trying to remember.. I want to say it would definitely be a feature on Paranoid Android, where you can hold the power button to enable/disable the soft keys (it was one of the icons at the top). Hopefully this helps.. Paranoid Android is the way to go if you absolutely need some certain kind of crazy/abnormal setup. (I really want to use it more than I do.. until this phone no longer is my primary contact number.)

There are many ICS Roms that I wanna try(not switching to JB yet. tried it and I'll let devs toy with it more) that doesn't support it to "maintain" the experience of stock.
And I have seen that honeycomb app. It only works for Honeycomb.
On the LMT thread there is a full screen toggle app that let's you hide the soft keys with one cluck. Its called fullscreen. apk.

OK I found it but it doesn't seem to work for AOKP(I Know, it already has a toggle, just testing before I switch over).
Does it only work when there is no toggle built in???
EDIT1: NVM I figured out that u must reboot for the toggle to have any effect.
It works though.

Yeah it needs a reboot to work. But its the only option that works on jelly bean for now. If you are still on aokp then why don't you like the built in feature?

I'm getting irritated of all features in AOKP.
I don't know why but the features are really irritating me.
I've decided to go stock and move with the fastest and most battery efficient Rom.
The Redemption Rom.
And lemme tell u it's fast.
And actually I do use the built in softkey mod feature. Just fed up with the lags and many features(dunno why, I was getting mad though every time I used my phone).

Nope. It's pure android. Find screenshots of the Nexus 4 and chop out the navbar.
So far so good
This is working quite well for me. Could be my new favorite rom!

The su binary is present and usable in adb. But apparently it doesn't work with the superuser app. I will fix that in beta2.
To fix superuser, see here (too lazy to copy/paste):
http://androidforums.com/spectrum-a...pure-android-caf-cm-enhanced.html#post6166676
beta2 is up.
Changes:
* Enabled Superuser daemon
* Enabled SIP/VoIP
* Included Development, CellBroadcastRecevier
So just FYI... the superuser zip is the current supersu with a modified installer that doesn't do the install-recovery hack.
I'm hoping beta2 is fairly stable and complete now. And the sources should all be synced and buildable for you ROM hax0rz.
So now it's time to start thinking about the plus version. Get your votes in for favorite features and I'll try to oblige. But I won't do anything too intrusive like halo or pie or ribbons. First up is going to be built in superuser, overclock, a density setting, custom power menu, quick toggle pull down. Other requests?

The quick toggle pull downs would be nice for sure - I've been spoiled by cyanogenmod I guess. This (beta1) rom has actually been running quite stable for me though - none of the weird lag and permanently going to sleep that I've had with CM10.2. Admittedly I haven't run it that long yet, but so far its performed quite well. Even the battery life has been good.
Trying the beta2 now.

Yes it should work. The mac address is set to a generic value but that should not affect usability, unless you have two devices in close proximity.
I'll try to fix that soon, of course. Note I believe cm10.2 has the same issue right now so maybe rmcc will beat me to it.

Got the swipey keyboard figured out, did the bootanim (need to resize it, but it works), incorporated supersu, and custom dpi support (but no gui setting yet). Working on install persistence, theme support, and other things right now. I'll try to get something out to play with by tomorrow evening...
Oh, and also ...
mega_man: I'm working on an LU6200 version. Should have it done within a few days, if I can get a couple testers.
Anyone know why SU640 is not in CM10.2 yet? I can try to build it if someone wants to test.
Hi, I`ve the following issue. The android keyboard stops unfortunately. This message appears right from the beginning. So I can`t install the ROM. And there is no file explorer in the ROM so I could install another keyboard. Any ideas to solve the problem ?

If you install paranoid android or PAC ROM which supports hybrid properties, you can enable tablet UI which combines the navbar and status bar in one. Navigation buttons on the left, status on the right.
Google images of paranoid android tablet UI to see what I mean.
Check out full!screen and PieControl...works on stock, just need to be rooted.
Ill give those a look.
Not particularly in the mood to play rom switching just yet on it. Id like stockrom with that. I saw a tutorial on it, but too much hassle of mixing files and breaking stock launcher.
Already rooted, no issues with that.
I really fail to see how having the buttons spaced out, center aligned has become the accepted norm.
I'm indifferent on status bar on top, consolidating is fine, not important.
But jeez, my left thumb is killing me from stretching over.
I really like Pie. I have it set on the left edge, non centred (so it appears directly below my thumb). Even less movement of your left thumb than you were asking for!
I use the one in the ROM, not the standalone app. Anyone tried both? The app seems much more customisable, but does it lag much because it's an app?

I run both full!screen and pie at the same time, and no performance hit at all. (N7 2013 16gb 4.3 stock/rooted)

Many thanks. Ok, WTF am I smoking. I saw the Android Development thread and was all in there, tried an AOSP, etc.
I saw the original android dev thread but some reason associated it in my head as original Nexus 7.
Yea I believe I have Flo, that should be the 16gb wifi only.
No worries. Yeah flo is the wifi only one. I have the same model as you, and am running PAC. Word of warning, the last 'stable' RC is actually unstable. Go with a nightly.

I was reading that Paranoid Android was leaning to go away from the tabletui, so I would guess PAC would be similar.
Any big differences so far with PACs 4.3 vs Kitkat?
Since I just got it I put the rooted stock KitKat in first thing so I don't know what I'm already used to vs going "down" to 4.3
Do you have a link to this? The hybrid properties has quite a few settings, tablet UI mode, dpi settings etc. I'd like to know what they're talking about. I have the navbar hidden anyway.
I haven't tried 4.4 yet, so I can't give an opinion. But from what I've read, most of the UI changes are in the google experience launcher not kitkat.

Its as if they dont anticipate people holding the tablet in landscape with both hands and doing mostly thumbs.
Maybe it's because I'm a gamer from the NES/Nintendo days and treat it like a controller.
Are we really supposed to hold with one hand and stab away with our index?
Enable Pie. I just re-enabled the navbar for a little while to remember what it looked like. Even with the buttons aligned to the left, it felt so far away in comparison to Pie. If you're likening this to a game controller, it's like the buttons are right under your thumb.
I'm disappointed Google's removing tablet UI. It's not just the navbar, but a different layout to a number of apps such as Settings.
Hello,
I would like to know how many things does not work with the modified android if someone can list them it would be great. I am thinking of buying Nokia XL and I would like to be informed because I did one mistake with N9 and I don't want to repeat it.

any app that requires google play services will not work, however if you install gapps, it will work. so 99% of the apps compatible with 4.1.2 will work.
Thank you for the replay but I was wondering about Kitkat 4.4 and not that much from the apps than the phone.If the OS is working properly, I read somewhere that the notifications does not work and the compass etc etc. My idea is if I can use a normal working android phone with Kit kat 4.4 but I need to know if this is gonna work if not I would buy another brand.

KK will work but it will be less performant then JB 4.2.2 or earlier. thats because the gpu (adreno 200) dosent support 4layer composition.
notifications do work. they do appear in the notification shade or in fastlane. i tried it on emulator back in pre release days.

yes its rootable and such(all amazon os versions are on the 2012 hd's), though personally i would just flash a custom rom on it, but yea its rootable and can use the playstore with stock os.

That's what I was hoping. I'm getting a good deal on it, and I love the idea of a custom ROM, but I actually use some of the Kindle-specific features, such as having the device read to me, etc. which I use quite a lot, and I'm afraid I'd miss them too much.
Is the later version of the Fire OS just as laggy as the earlier releases? That's the only real criticism I've seen that would bug me.
Do I need root to use the Playstore, or can I just sideload an apk of the Playstore app?
You have to root for the play store because part of it is a system app. The later versions of fire os got worse in my opinion, they disabled wallpaper from working and my fix is one of the only ways to get it working on the newer versions and its a little buggy itself. I believe cm has some kinda reading ability but idk the extent of it because I have never used it. I can vouch for the cm ROM as I came from cm 10.1 to cm 11 recently and man was there a difference in speed, much much faster. I can't really tell if amazon os was fast or not as I haven't used it in a while, probably about a year.

So, in your view, how is CM 11 now on the 8.9? I'm debating whether to flash it or not at this point.
I can only vouch for what I have used on the 7" model, but considering they are both updated quite a bit they should both be about the same, I have to say it is awesome, my only regret is Google took out the tablet navbar from the code and cm hasn't added it back in as a feature(it's not hashcodes fault in the least). If you haven't ever seen a tablet navbar then just forget I said that as the configuration night he standard navbar is about the same as Amazon's minus the fact its got android looking buttons. I just personally don't like having to use 2 thumbs to hit my soft keys.

Do you mean that the Kindle CM 11 doesn't have a full-screen immerse mode? Is the navbar not configurable?
It has full screen immersion, I love that feature BTW. And the nav bar is configurable was just talking about this(this is from my cm 10.1 days):
Could only find a portrait screenshot, could a sworn I had landscape pics too...

So, there's no way to blend the on-screen buttons into the UI (not sure how to describe it) as I've seen on other devices?
If you are talking about what is seen in my pic the answer is not yet, Google removed the code necessary for that style navbar + status bar and cm hasn't added it back in, I think some people in the kf1 forum were attempting to. It is just a kitkat thing in general, not sure of PAC ROMs have it or not but I still recommend cm 11 despite this. Personally I mainly just liked this layout because it didn't require the use of both thumbs to reach for the buttons.

sorta, it had the nessassary frameworks and such to enable it, but it required some patching on the cm 10.1 and 10.2 builds, i never made a patch for the 8.9" hd, but i think some of the other roms could do it but i don't remeber, think like pac rom and such could but i don't recommend using the older cm 10.2 and 10.1 based builds, the changes that were made sped them up and made them much much much less buggy so i really recommend using a cm 11 based build, i've gotten used to the normal ui, still am hoping for a patch though myself.

I'm with you on that. I'm on PA 4.4 beta1 as of today and probably the one feature I'm waiting/hoping Google will give us back is the tablet nav+notification bar.
