wile playing with my Gnex phone the following idea poped into my head;
would it not be handy to have the time displayed in the ICS navigation bar, replacing the homekey grafics but not the function...
then you can keep track of time while playing games of running any other fullscreen application where the notificationbar is hidden.
what do you guys think?
I like it

Funny, I just had the same thought and saw this thread.
I would love to see the clock be displayed in the nav bar and persistently. I think it would look sick.
Is this even possible? I wonder ...

It might be. I forgot which rom had this but you were able to put music controls (previous, forward, play/pause) in the navi bar so it might be possible

then the question remains, is there any developer that can make this or is already working on it?

Go request it for AOKP.
good ideas but i need power menu soft key can use soft key from power menu
>.> Ummm bump? I like this idea too. perhaps not limit it to time but serve as a ticker?
I.e, normally it shows time, but it will show notification icons somewhere and a swipe will reveal the notification centre?
EDIT: On the top of my mind... we probably could get a couple of apps/mods to get something similar:
* There are full screen mods
* GMD gesturecontrol works on Gnex last time I tried.I suppose you can assign swipes and gestures to mimic the navbar buttons
* Only thing I don't really get is how we'd get a clock or notification area to show permanently at the bottom. Perhaps there are some apps that do this, Notifierpro plus does notification.. not time though.
* Paranoid android tablet UI, hide/remove the nav bar buttons, and try to move the notification area to the centre. Something like that...
There is a ROM that has all the features you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729942
However the base is CM9. I hope it will be upgraded to JB soon. I use it since a month and I prefer it over any other ROM.

I have been pursuing a solution for the navbar taking up precious screen space, maybe finding a way to hot toggle it somehow, now I found a solution!!
In the latest Xenon HD rom, there is a command(activity) within the system UI that hides/shows the navbar instantly. Using LMT, I mapped the "double swipe up" gesture to that activity with the system ui, and voilla!! Now wherever I am I can just swipe with 2 fingers up and it will either show/hide the navbar, this is very convenient especially if you dont like to go to the power menu every time you want to hide or show the navbar.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
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.

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.

another option might be the Hide Bottom Bar app from the play store.
I really like the idea of some of the features from paranoid android. halo, pie, and extended desktop are the 3 features I wanted to use most on a daily bases. The problem for myself was that on the ports gps didn't work neither did wifi AP or samsungs smart dock which i use daily, not only that but Samsungs rom and kernel are more programmed for the phone itself as apposed to an aosp rom(which means better performance or so i'm told). So what i have done is used a few apps to replicate the features I want from paranoid android on my Touchwiz rom(cleanrom 4.7).
1. halo: To get this feature I used an app called floating notifications. It's not as feature rich as halo but it can display the text of my notifications like sms and gmail and I can click on them to open the app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263987&nocache=1&z=4138043767306953
2. Pie: I used lmt launcher, I assume most people are familiure with it by now. If not check out the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
3. extended desktop: This one is a little tricky, i used hide bar by good mood droid (GMD). This doesn't just hide the bar it shutdowns that process making it unusable. Plus resents must be tied into that process because I can't use that either. To help not being able to access the toggles and other info in my notification shade I used an app called glovebox, which is a side bar app. I put some widgets in it for weather and toggles for easy access. Losing the ability to use resents isn't that bad I can deal with it but I use next and previous app in lmt launcher to help
get around.

So what does everyone think?
*I would like to thank all of the developers of these various apps. The flexibility of android is what makes it great.
I dunno about #2 but the first couple would be best solved with a new rom. Flash clean rom 4.9

Right I know that, It won't display the app but my notifications that normally show up in my notification shade show up in the app floating notifications.
Although the rom is still in beta and new features will be added soon, here are some things that would make it perfect(I hope the Devs see this):
1. Screen record and screenshot options in quick settings or power menu.
2. Download speed in status bar.
3. Cyanogen Mod 10 style GPS quick settings tile that doesn't ask for location consent every time (saw this in gravitybox)
4. Camera tile in quick settings.
5. Clear all button in recent apps.
This feature list is not too farfetched and I hope that the Devs read this thread and bring these features to the ROM.
+1 to clear all recent apps button, really miss this one
Nexus 7 LTE
SlimKat KOT49H
Bricked Kernel
I would love for the slim team to bring back widget view pager..haven't seen this feature included on any KitKat roms...Also would love a quick tile for quiet hours and an option to show the cpu temp in status bar

Official statement: Two of the most requested features are the "clear all" in recents apps and the DPI changer in settings. This is our comment about these requests:
- We won't implement the clear all button because killing all apps is generally unnecessary and might even be bad for the overall performance. You can read more about it here: http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/238-why-do-i-have-less-memory-free-on-my-device
- We are working on the DPI changer and will include that in the rom in the foreseeable future.

Quiet Hours
1. Quiet hours: option to bypass android starred contacts aka favorite contacts. Now only disable, all numbers and contacts.
.2 On/off setting to QH (bypass time setup, like "allways on").
3. icon notification bar when QH is on (show / do not show the settings)
notification led settings: Disabled when charge.

I don't think you read the post. Clearing apps like some sort of ocd iphone user doesn't help anything and it hinders proper operation of the OS. SO why should they add it?

Blurred lockscreen would be awesome!
Just tried SlimKat RC1, and it runs really smooth. 1 question though:
Will all features from SlimBean eventually get ported over? Like Battery Bar, Dual Pane Settings, Advanced reboot etc?
Thanks
Clear All button
Yes, I've also grown accustomed to the Clear All button, and miss it in SlimKat.
However, I acknowledge this is yet another remnant of an ancient time when Android had rather crappy memory management, so closing apps manually was a must.
Ever since 4.0, memory management has improved a lot, making the habit of closing apps manually unnecessary.
Closing apps manually also wastes more battery.
EDIT: To see Android doing its thing, pay attention when you play memory-hungry games (I play RR3). Sometimes during the race, when you hit Home and open another app, you can jump back into the game right where you were. Sometimes the game is restarted from the blue EA screen.
