Hey,
just updated my son's WF Swift to CM13 (pokemon go ...) and got the question how to display the softkey bar at the bottom of the display permanently. Does anyone of you have an idea?
Tnx in advance! :good:
Solved. I installed GMD Auto hide.

I'm developing app that allows to hide soft keys without modifying the system and without reboot. In only hides soft keys and leaves notification bar intact. After hiding soft keys I replace them similar auto hiding bar with Back, Home, Recent Apps and Menu buttons.
It does NOT modify system files. If something unplanned happens, just reboot your device and it will restore your stock navigation bar.
Unique Features:
* Hide soft keys on any rooted device (Phone UI only).
* Auto hiding navigation bar replacement - swipe trigger upwards to show it.
Differences to other status bar hiding apps:
* Does not remove notification bar
* Does not modify system
* No need to reboot
* Stock Notification panel and settings panels are fully working
* Stock recent apps list is fully working
* No problems with receiving phone calls

I'm collecting new ideas for future updates
It works on the GNEX. Lol I've been using it for a week or more.

Thanks, updated supported device list :fingers-crossed:. Do buttons look ok?
Hi there...
I just try your app and have few comments.
- Softkey could we biger, just like original. It is not necessarily to be smaller because - they can be hidden
- Vibrate on key press is missing thing for me
- After few turning on and off my phone reboot (Gnex, stock 4.2.2., I9250XXLJ1, JDW39)
I am not developer but I was always askin why someone don't make hiden navigation bar (buttons) and activate it just like we swipe our notification bar. Just like that and but very smooth. Al that PIE's and invisible areas was too laggy and don't enough responsive to me. You are very close to my idea and if this will work I think your app have potencial.
Good luck
Hello guys, i have my own implementation of this, I made it long time ago, but haven't released to public until today

Grate app bro. Confirm that work on GSM GNexus with stock 4.2.2 rom.
Send from my awesome-superb-f.... ng incredible Galaxy Nexus
0.93:
- Added Google Now button when Home is hovered. Added animation.
- Added option to hide QuickNav bar when empty space on bar is pressed.
- Added option to keep/hide QuickNav bar when pressed anywhere else on scren.
- Added option to delay bar hide after pressing soft button. Pressing new button resets delay.
Donator here: Could it be possible to be able to disable the glow and maybe to add another section where you can be able to change the nav bar icons from a respository of sorts? Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Try newest development version. I added theming funtionality.
hello, developer. Pro buyer here. Your app is very nice indeed and works great. I'm using it on my gnex with rooted stock rom. I just have the following observations:
1. It seems the app makes scrolling of the recent apps stuttery.
2. May I request for an option to use the stock 3-dot menu icon, instead of the 3-bar menu icon? The 3-dot icon blends better with the stock icons, in my opinion.
3. The menu icon randomly appears. (I have disabled it.)
Thanks!
To hide and / or replace the navigation buttons on Xperia M I would like to recommend GMD AutoHide Soft Keys.
I have installed it and it works perfect
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/root-gmd-autohide-soft-keys-t2253770
It is highly customizable
You can set the bar that appears when you slide from the bottom and hide by tapping the side
This lets you use the phone with the slightly larger screen
regards
Nice
Works great
Thanks for the tip. One problem I keep having is hitting the home key instead of the space bar while texting. Very annoying! I will try this app and see if I can solve this problem and report back.
Edit: Okay, after a few hours playing with it (pro version) here are my experiences with it with Xperia M:
1) Changed my wallpaper without asking
2) Removed alarm notification from top notification tray, had to reset (turn off then on) my alarms to get it back
3) Removed battery percentage symbol from top notification tray, had to toggle it off and on in settings to get it back
4) "Spoof Soft Keys" option does nothing. What's it supposed to do? I am assuming it would make a clear space where the regular softkeys would be in effect pushing everything back up but toggling that option does nothing at all.
5) The quickbar does not work (cannot be swiped or tapped into view) when the far right icon "Recent Apps Button" is selected. You have to tap somewhere on the screen in order to back get out of recent apps view (the small apps launcher is probably too blame)
6) The selectable Xperia icons in the app are not the same as our Xpermia M icons
Edit 2
7) App doesn't work automatically on reboot with Xperia M. I had to actually click on its icon to get it to work again after a reboot. No good, uninstalled it
theres an alternative for hide nav bar, using UDN lite
original thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198
use xposed to work properly
works great on stock and cm 11 beta 3
UDN + Xposed is perfect

Yes, after two days of testing UDN is working fine for me too. Just sucks that you have to install a seperate module (Xposed) to make it work

You can use build.prop to hide the soft key navigator, so Xposed is no need. But I don't like this method, this seems to be a pain when undo if this UDN suddenly stop working
Hi folks,
Any suggestions for keeping the nav and status bars on in apps which go full-screen, or simply for disabling full-screen altogether? I tried all the full-screen related apps in the market, with no luck... Rooted with magisk, and reverted to old, 3 button nav bar.
Cheers!
no one?
STUPid hidden buttons... aaaaaaaargh...
Hello. I bought this fone a couple days ago and it's been a good experience, despite some different usage comming from a Z2P. EXCEPT I can't find a way to hide the soft keys for good. Yes, i have enabled the "Hide navigation bar" under display settings BUT they keep showing when the keyboard is enabled. I'm hating this. Even more when the color won't change and stay white no matter the theme I apply (I like dark interfaces). Also, I've enable the gestures and the keys are just useless. It was possible on the Z2P with the fingerprint gestures. No keys at all.
Is there a way to hide the soft keys FOR GOOD on the Zen 5Z???
Thank you!
This is just the way Asus has chosen to implement navigation gestures. Can't do anything other than complain to Asus and maybe they'll fix it in the Pie update.
You can hide them with adb. Check YouTube
Hu Guys,
does anybody know how to hide the Navigation Bar in LineageOS on the Lenovo P2.
The physical button with the built-in navigation fuctions is working great so I don't need the navigation bar.
I've read something about a expanded dekstop but it is not available on my phone.
Thank you
settings-> system-> gestures-> navigation in the system-> navigation using gestures

Nice thank you for the advice.
It is now hidden.
But somehow when I touch the hardware button it is not vibrating anymore
vibrates only when reading the fingerprint

okay thats not so good, since the haptic feedback of the button is missing.
But anyway it's better than having half of the screen blocked by the navogation bar.
