On stock touchwiz and most TW based roms, you can use the Home/Power buttons at the same time. Hit the home button a split second before power and hold them both for a few seconds. I understand Heisenberg is AOKP based, but its worth a shot. I've also seen some AOSP based roms where you can add it to the power menu. Hope this helps.

I've never used Heisenberg, but I remember in some CM builds I used on my GS2 there was something in settings to add screenshot to the power menu. Maybe try combing though settings to see if you can find that? Other than that, I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
its easy

Another soft key custom image for the Galaxy Nexus. I felt that this went along with my minimalist look.
FIXED: I centered the image better. It is still off by 1 pixel, but that is as good as it gets.

Yeah, I noticed that after I uploaded the image. I'll fix it in a bit. Thanks.
EDIT: FIXED
Possible to remove the image for the home button and just make it the "NEXUS"? I think that would look fantastic.

You guys can do it yourself by simply renaming the image to ic_sysbar_home.png and replace the original one in the xhdpi folder
Is the image only supposed to pop up when I press any of the softkeys?

Hi there
How do I disable the soft on screen keys?
They get in the way and take up space when gaming or sometimes watching films I want to be able to swipe down when I dont need them or for them to disappear automatically.
Im on stock, unrooted.
Thanks
Flash a rom like cm that includes support for extended desktop. That's exactly what you're looking for
Yeah Just use Cm.
Just hold the power button and press disable keys.
Works perfect! Gaming is 2x better with it gone now!

Hide Bottom Bar
Alternatively, use this.
Grr, sorry, mainly a lurker, and XDA won't let me post a link. Search for 'Hide Bottom Bar' in the play store.
Requires root, works well for me for gaming and ebooks.
Are the cm roms stable?
Yeah, they're pretty stable, even the nightlies.

Cool thanks think I'll wait for the stable though skip the nightlies

Add this line to your build.prop.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
It makes the phone think it has capacitive buttons and disables the nav bar.
then just use LMT Launcher to navigate though the phone.

I use the app full screen toggle then I use button savior to take place of the soft keys the top pic is with my soft keys still hidden look at the lower right to see an grey arrow by my l key. The second pic the soft keys are now out. Notice I still have my my status bar which u don't get with using full screen mode on roms like cm.

Just figured out what a nice difference this is making. It can help a lot if you text a lot.
I use it after texting and gtalking and Internet browsing. Idea is cut off the last 30 seconds of screen on time when you set the phone down it stick in pocket, by tapping the widget.
This way you can set screen timeout to 2m if you want for reading (I never need more than that for interacting with a book to change pages) but get the benefit of having a super short timeout like 15 seconds.

Oh and pressing the power button wears it out and is not ergonomic like tapping.
Why would you need this if you can just press the power button to turn off the screen? You're pressing something either way. Makes no sense. Now if you have a broken power button, then that's a different story.

Personally I use screen off, I've tried the OP and others but didn't like em as much as this one. It uses the search captive search button to turn off the screen

Yes forgot to mention this was the main reason. I was paranoid about killing the power button. Pressing the power button wears it out and is not ergonomic like tapping.
I recently installed the unlocked firmware (XAA, G955U1UEU1AQG2) on my Verizon S8+ and every time I come out of using split-screen (multi-window), the navbar on the home screen will change from transparent with white buttons to white with gray buttons. It doesn't matter what mode the navbar is in. The only way to clear it is to restart the phone. Is anyone else that's running the most most recent version of the unlocked firmware seeing this?

I figured out what was happening. I needed to exit out of split-screen, not swipe down on the bottom window.

Yeah, I love it, it runs smoothly. It doesn't have WiFi calling or Verizon voicemail built in. I know there are mods for WiFi calling, but I don't wanna go through the headache of setting it up. I just use Hangouts (with my Google Voice number) if I ever need to make a WiFi call and Google Voice for my voicemail.

First select select which window you want to close (by physically touching). You'll see the blue line between the windows move in the direction of the window you touch. Then press the little white hash in the middle and then a menu will pop up. Then press X.

Got it thanks!
After latest update the lock screen notifications are so dim that they cannot be read ,I am using dark mode. Also is there anyway to lengthen the time they are on screen because they are to fast. Regards
Can you give us a screenshot? I haven't noticed any problem. Thanks.
Thanks. How can I get a screen shot of the lock screen. Regards
Definitely noticed this after side loading the December update.

Volume Down button + Power button. Just make sure and Magick Erase any personal information before sharing.
That's the universal (at least on Android) method to take screenshots most anywhere.

No I'm taking about the notification pill that comes on the lock screen for about 2 seconds. You cannot take a screen shot because it will wake up phone with the power button
Are you talking about the AOD? Mine is dim too since the December update.

I guess I don't know what you're referring to, but I wish I did. How about a photo of it using an old phone if you have one available? Do you use the fingerprint reader? If you don't, I'm not going to disable mine to try to reproduce the same issue, but anything I do that shows me the lock screen (tapping on the screen, pressing the power button), doesn't show anything dim for me for two seconds.

Ah! I see. I have AOD on but I'm using AODNotify's optional feature where I have it set not to show AOD except when I have a notification, and even then to minimize what to show.
Oh well.
