Hey
If you're familier with LG G4, it has an option to add a buttom to the navigation bar that brings down notifications.
Is there any way to create such feature in Nexus 5X?
I used it a LOT !
Thanks!
use nova launcher
use nova launcher. it has the ability to swipe down from home screen to open notification drawer.
Nova Launcher (the feature is only available for paid users tho)

In the video seen here http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/08/android-open-kang-project-navigation-bar/ guy adds launcher shortcut for app drawer. I do no have the option for launcher setting. I can do apps, phone setting, and from control but the option he had for launcher setting is simply not there for me. I've wiped and re installed, updated nova to newest as well as beta and yes I tried the nova aokp came with. Nothing gives me this option. Any ideas?
[Also, anyone know how he did that light scrolling thing immediately above the nav bar?
The 'light scrolling thing' was a 'MIUI-style battery bar' found here:
Settings > ROM Control - statusbar > Battery
Enable it in the 'battery bar location', change the style to 'center-mirrored' and enable the 'charging animation' to get the animation he was getting in the video (or so I believe).
I can't answer the navigation bar launcher option issue because I'm still on AOKP M4.
the ability to add the app drawer to the nav bar isn't available as yet...
i spoke with the nova dev n he said he had spoken to aokp devs already and the next beta of nova should have a shortcut that can be added to the nav bar... the basis fdor this i believe is because opening the app drawer is launcher dependant..
Hiya.
I wanted to ask whether there is an option in the Settings or an update of Nexus 7 that makes the notifications bar on top and the three buttons on the bottom of the screen transparent? Or the ability to "autohide" the buttons underneath similar to the G2 and the Xperia phones?
What good launcher can you guys recommend for the Nexus 7 so as when in landscape i can make full "use" of the 7-inch screen? (especially when watching movies of playing games?
Please advice. Thank you.
Auto hide of the Navigation bar and status bar is not a new thing in android, any decent player like BSPlayer has an auto hide option for this bars , also as far as gaming there is immersion mode in Kitkat that apps and games can use if the developers enables so .. and transparent nav bar and status bar are part of the Now launcher, and i think Nova and Apex should support it also.

I did not know the autohide feature for Android has been around for a while. I was only aware of the current 4.4.2 OS of my Xperia Z1 (and i believe the LG G2 as well) that enables autohide of the nav bars on the bottom and notifications on top but not that of the Nexus 7. All the videos i have seen on Youtube all shows the black bars still there.
As regards the launchers you mentioned will it be a matter of swiping it from above and at the bottom to access the buttons is that correct?
Some apps have built in immersive mode and then they can hide navigation bar with/without status bar. Or you can turn on immersive mode manually whenever you want with this app (no root required):

Hi,
I would like to know if there a way to hide the status bar and navigation bar everywhere and swipe up or down or make them appear.
I know you can do this in the browser app and for the navigation bar in certain app.
Didn't find anything in tweekbox app.
Hey mate!
Give this link a go.

Might be what your looking for. Basically what you want is Immersive mode that's available on Stock roms like CM11 and AOKP. Unfortunetly we don't have an unlocked bootloader for this phone yet, so we don't have access to this yet. Please note the above link only works for the nav buttons. You could also check out removing the nav buttons (via tweakbox) and replacing with LMT, pie controls! works like a charm for me
have a good one!
Use nova launcher with LMT pie controls
It's easy to hide the Navbar. Settings/ display/ home touch buttons. Then select hide home touch buttons. Tick all the apps you want them to be hidden on.
Use Nova Launcher... (+1)
You can assign gestures to show/hide status bar and the dock (I use double finger swipe up to show/hide status bar, and down for the dock icons. In the settings you can select Nova to hide nav bar which will complete the trick for you. Like this...
Thanks !!! It worked using nova and pie. But again , the status bar is not hidden in all the apps.
Use xposed. Gravity box module can do it I believe.
G3
I use gmd gesture control and auto hide soft keys to dispense of the nav bar. Gesture control also has an option to hide the status bar although I don't use it personally.

Just got my phone today and started loading my apps noticed that some icons are not taking the stock shape. Is there anyway to force this? It kind of bugs me lol I know I can use another launcher and icon pack but I enjoy the new pixel launcher.
Long-press an open area on the home screen and go into home settings. There's an option to change the shape of the icons.
Is there anyway to show notification numbers on apps icons instead of dots with the stock launcher because I dislike nova launcher
You could try Lawnchair or Evie Launcher from the Play Store instead.
I'm using CPL https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.whatau.cpl which is very similar to stock but with more configuration options.
