Here's how I have my phone set up.
I set the navbar height to zero and enabled pie controls. By default, the navbar keys are pre-installed in pie, and you can reorder them however you want.
Then you can set up to 10 targets on it, with the option to long press (you set the duration ~ I have five targets plus long press on 3 of them).
Getting rid of navbar gives you more screen real estate. More screen is good. Plus it gets rid of that pesky line.
I also set my dock to auto hide after two seconds. I know that it's on the bottom. I swipe up and it appears. I don't need to see it on every homescreen. Hey! More real estate!
Thank you but I really dont like swiping around whole screen to see keys.
I did that with some xposed module, I think it was gravitybox. I've changed the order of the buttons.

Anyone have a link to a tutorial or something where I can learn how to make my softkeys transparent? Maybe some with a 50% opacity? Thanks in advance for any help! And yes, I searched...

Have you seen the new Ubuntu Phone demo? It would be great if we had gestures like that on 4.2.1, too. No more softkeys, just pure gesture control

Sure did. It looks nice, but we'll see how polished it becomes. Android has come a long way.
That's what I think, but it seems that under to get them it will be a hard Work

Bump...
I am surprised, this hasn't been done.... I am too looking into this.
I use FullScreen Toggle to disable the Nav Bar (there is also an option for that in the AOKP-roms) and GMD Gesture Control from the Market to create gestures for the missing buttons.
For the back-button I have a gesture that starts at bottom left and just goes up, for home I have one in the middle and so on. So you "swype" from below the display into the display on the positions where the buttons would normally be.
The settings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2oiqk145z7olo/2013-01-04 18.43.54.png
An app which is doing the following would be good:
hiding the softkeys
with a gesture showing the softkeys for 10 Seconds or so and hide them again
all the other gesture apps just enable me to set a gesture for back home menu etc, but a gesture for hiding and showing the softkeys would be great
edit:
LMT is able to run a script via gesture:

so it would be cool to have a script doing what i need, but i don't know how to create one

GMD Gesture can do gesture to hide and unhide the softkey. But is does not have any setting to automatic hide it after a few second.
I'm running PAC-Man ROM and am thankful for the settings that allow me to use gestures (when the S Pen's button is held) but it's a huge pain to have to hold the button for these gestures. The button on the pen is too low on the pen for my liking when I'm trying to use it as a pointing device/extension of my hand.
A couple of ideas I have had:
-the input settings that I described earlier
-the Sidebar application. I would love it if I could access shortcuts through Sidebar that emulate the back and menu keys but unfortunately the only button that can be emulated is the home key!
-CM S Pen Add-on used in conjunction with Note Buddy. I like the idea here, but I'd like to know if there's a way to automatically activate the AOSP on-screen buttons when I detach the S-Pen, but Note Buddy doesn't seem to support any extensions.
Are there any other solutions you guys have come up with that allow me to use my Note in a practical way with ONLY the S-Pen? That means I don't want to have to take any fingers off of the pen or have to lift my other hand to press the menu and back buttons.
I use GMD SPen control & cant say enugh good things about it! It can do everything you are looking for (I think) I have it open lecture notes when I detach the pen, & simulate the home button when I attach it! But you can set up any user gestures you want!
Just bought the pro version...
Very nice application...
And it's running well on carbon 1.8..
Thank you....g

I'm not really willing to shell out $6 just yet... I'll have to do some more research!
I also found another method: use the ribbons feature built into PAC-Man ROM (not sure if it's an AOKP feature) in order to swipe out a tray from the right side of the screen that has the nav buttons in it. Still wish I could get the real navbar to display by default though!
Edit: Just remembered there's also PA Pie.
To add a navbar to ANY rom that doesnt have one..
open your buildprop (in /system)
scroll down to the bottom, and after the last line, add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save the changes, reboot the phone, and BOOM, you have a navbar..works on AOSP and TW roms..

Getting a navbar to display is not the issue. What's difficult is trying to get the navbar to display only when the pen is detached! :/

I have a tasker task to launch with the help of secure settings to hide the navigation bar when spen is attached and to show it when I de-attach the spen. Just take advantage of the expandable desktop function (and select it to only hide the nav bar when pen is inserted).
Works like a charm.

Are you referring to the "Expand desktop" option under Custom ROM Actions? That option has a red circle next to it for me, meaning that it is not supported by my ROM. :'(
Which rom are you on? Is it featured in your rom?
If so, you need to turn on expanded desktop and reboot. You might also need to make secure settings a device administrator.
For me, on SlimBean, it's a red circle at first too, but it turns green when following my steps above.
Try it out and report your progress.

The reboot worked! Can't believe I hadn't thought of that. xP
My home, back and recent buttons on the phone are broken. I hpermanent ave root but that's not the reason.
So, is there an app or Rom which can put those buttons permanent on bottom of screen, and then make the rest of the screen the display. So it should lower the height of the viewport, and put those buttons in the remaining space below.
I've tried "button savior" app, but I don't want those buttons as an overlay.
The screen on the phone is big enough to use some of it as a permanent button area I think.

most aosp roms and some sense roms have the option to show the "nav bar" at the bottom, some even have the option to change the colour of the buttons

Try the ParanoidAndroid ROM.
You can enable those buttons in there and you can even customize them exactly the way you want them to be! (the size, color, etc...) :victory:

perfect! Can you also help me by telling me exactly where one can enable those buttons in that rom? And maybe give me link to latest version of that rom?
Pie Launcher which is for root users also provides some features..try it

Sorry for not replying for so long.
Those buttons are enabled by default, so that shouldn't be a problem. The latest version of this ROM can be found here. However, why didn't you just have a look yourself? It can be found pretty easily in the Original Development section
As the title would suggest, I've found some Xposed based Nav Bar changes but mainly to the style of the buttons, I'm looking for something which has DPI changes (tweak box doesn't work for me with this function)....also something that adds a fourth button.
thanks

I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as you but you can change and add 5 soft keys (navigation buttons?) under Settings, Display and Home touch buttons.. Then Button combination. Here you can drag buttons and rearrange your nav bar. .. Sorry if this is not what you're looking for

I use Gravitybox on my Nexus so I'd like to do the same on the OP3.
It looks like the OP3 has physical nav buttons, which is to say, I can't add to that with anything.
Is there an IME switcher that shows up anywhere when typing for easily switching between keyboards? What about adding arrows for cursor navigation. I use Swiftkey for my keyboard, so unless I enable the keyboard row, there's no way to move the cursor with it. On the Nexus, I used the function in Gravity box to add cursor keys to the nav bar, but OP3 having physical buttons seems like it would put a stop to that too.
If I keep it stock and used systemless root/xposed/etc via Magisk, would it pass safetynet checks as it does on the Nexus when I turn them off?
Are there any other caveats I'd need to look out for?
(And in the interest of fairness, what would likely be the best improvements I notice too?)
You can enable navigation bar on the oneplus 3, even if there is physicals buttons.
The IME switcher will show up in the navbar if you enable it, or in the notification if you don't.
I don't know about root and safetynet

Enable by way of default options or if I'm using Gravitybox specifically?

There is an option on the settings of the stock rom:good:
Welp, the physical size is bigger than I was hoping, but I can't find a better option on all the other specs.
This is most likely the only viable phone then and will be what I end up getting.
We shall see.
If needed you can use LMT to display the "pie" and customize actions.

That looks like it may do what I want.
I'm not quite familiar with it, can you make it so if I call it up, it persists until I dismiss it?
Thinking along the lines of bringing up a menu with "[<] [Dismiss] [>]" to let me do multiple arrow presses.
If that's doable, then that would fully take care of what I'm looking for.
