HTC Browser hides navbar, but white space is shown instead - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, don't know if it's a new feature from the recent update or not, however I never noticed that before.
HTC Browser after a while hides the navbar.
That would be great, but it's useless for me since the page is not resized, i attached two pictures to let you see that.
Is that normal? I'm using InsertCoin ROM with ART and it may be a ROM issue, but I don't know.

Maybe worth using GMD hide softkeys from the market place. I use it and its brilliant!

This doesn't solve the issue, I'd prefer keeping the navbar than hiding it if the extra space is white.

No it hides the navbar and gives you the extra screen space. Very awesome app. I used it on my previous phones.

I just tried the free one and it gives you an alternative bar with different icons. It doesn't hide the stock one (i can do that from build.prop file, but since the only issue is with the browser I don't want to use another whole bar)

That's what I'd like.
Can I ask which Rom do you use? And do you use art?

Immersive Mode (99cents on Google Play) hides nav bar without needing root.

Same issue here, I'm using Renovate 4.4.3 on ART as well! I'm using chrome beta now, it just keeps the navbar without going immersive.

Has anyone found a way to disable the auto hiding nav bar in browser?

Hi,

When moving icons and folder on a screen you cant just put them anywhere you want its locked to a grid so is there a way to be able to put folders and icons anywhere you want on the screen?

If you want your folder/app stick to the point where u left your finger and not in the 4*4 grid - so you want it to stick at the exact position - well you can't. Don't know even why would you like to do that? You could mess with your shortcuts easily
Hope fully this will give everyone a better idea of what I am on about.

It would be nice to have total control but unfortunately we don't. I used to have launchers plus on my desire and it is probably the kind of thing you are looking for. Instead of a 4x4 grid you can change it to many others. For instance a 5x6 which would nearly double the amount of icons you could have on screen. You could also resize widgets which was handy. And if I remember correctly you could even have more quick launch icons at the bottom. Very nice app.

[APP] RAZR M Launcher and Circle Widget

Many of you having been asking me to post some flashable zips of the RAZR M launcher I modded for CSROM.
Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and did it (sorry for the delay!).
The launcher is from a different device (Motorola RAZR M) and different Android version (ICS), so there is a little lag.
But that is a small price to pay for the awesome circle widget!
There are currently two versions available: with and without the persistent search bar.
While I was able to remove the search bar, I have not yet been able to recover the real estate.
Six other apps are installed which are required to make the circle widget fully functional.

Just look in the .zip folder and remove the files you see from system/app.

[Q] Tablet UI

Hi xda
I just want to ask about something, coz I've already search everywhere, and can't get the answer
Ok, here it is. I'm running stock odex DMB2, rooted, and happy with simplistic, xposed, etc. Now I want to try something different, like Tablet UI mod.. I had try xposed app settings. Changing the apps DPI.. Yes it worked, but the TouchWiz didn't get the bottom navbar.. Can you guide me the steps to make my Note 2 look like this (see attachment;most preferably the bottom notification bar..it's interesting..), while my Note 2 still running stock odex DMB2 (because I'm quite satisfied with the stock rom;didn't want to change to custom rom )? Thanks

Adding a line to build.prop (at the end) will enable sofykey navigation bar(virtual key)
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
But, I'm not sure whether it'll be as in the screen shot.

Oh.. I don't have any experience in this. the Nav bar might be like the one in screen shot only if it's dpi is decreased. I think there is Xposed MOD for this but you may have to search for it.
Again I have no clue on how to make it work. We might have to experiment for some time.

I've already tried that to (Xposed Tablet UI). But my status bar is gone and there is a pop up saying: unfortunately system UI has stopped. :silly:
I just read a message from rovo (the one who created xposed framework), he said that it all depends on the ROM itself. In some case, there are ROMs that can handle that xposed tablet UI, but some ROMs can't. Unfortunately, my ROM can handle all kind of xposed mod (greenify, icon themer, sms delivery, multiwindow, etc), but not for this one (xposed tablet ui)

Change height of on screen buttons/area?

Like my title says I'm curious if there's a way or an app to easily change the height of the on screen buttons maybe make him half as short as they are now
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm interested in this too. Hopefully there is a way. Waists too much screen space
My suggestion is to just root the phone and install GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys... I did that today, and it's amazing being able to use the full 5" screen for all my apps. Navigation buttons are just a touch/swipe away too.

I tried about GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, but I don't like having to swipe up to show the keys. I wouldn't mind making them just a little bit shorter.
However, if that isn't possible, I wouldn't mind GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys if I could use the stock HTC Sense 6 system icons for the navigation bar when using GMD auto hide. Is there a way to extract them and do this?

Gravity box is the best

If you have see no sense in the overload of Gravity Box features and just want to set height of the Notification bar, I would recommend "Dimensions Editor" for Xposed Framework. You can even change the position of Toasts with it (also the Height of Notification Bar).
Trying still now.

Question Avoiding burn-in on status bar?

Is there any way to hide the status bar icons? Specially the clock and battery indicator so we can avoid burn ins? Had burn-in issue on my mi 9t pro so Im not gonna take any chances...
I was easily able to hide the icons on my rog phone 2 but it seems that miui is blocking that method(having all these features, it's such a shame it still doesnt have the ability to hide status bar icons!)
Does anyone have any other way to do this?

The clock, yes I think so. But I don't know about Battery, I'm not able to check it right now
Maybe not the answer you want to hear
I use HavocOS - there you can hide all status bar icons. I do it so, but only because I don't want to disturb my home screen with these icons
For the battery status I use a thin line on the top of the screen (it's a feature of Havoc), which changes the length and the color depending on the battery level... you can choose color #1 (fully charged) and color #2 (empty). I picked 2 colors (black for #1 and gray for #2), so that this line only appears when the battery is at about 30 %. Really nice

Don't bother, you re gonna swith to another phone anyway before it gets burn in. Or you can always replace the screen under warranty since burn in is coverer by xiaomi.
