Ca somebody point me in the right direction...probably substratum plugin, i just want the navbar to always behave like its on the home screen transparent with the buttons only.
Download Custom Navigation Bar. No root required. Just a simple adb command and then you can make the buttons transparent.

I think he want a totally inverted version of that. LoL
Transparent bar with Button.
Am using custom navbar app as well. And i believe there's no option for that, yet.
I think its because, if the bar is transparent all the time, we wont be able to see the button when we open an app or web page with bright/white background.

So I'd like to submit a feature request for a mod of sorts, not really sure how to describe it...
Kinda like in windows you can make the task bar auto hide when not in focus, is it possible to make the navigation buttons auto-hide, fade to opaque, or have a bold outline with opaque background... to make better use of the screen when in things like browser/reading...

This feature is already implemented in AOKP, GummyNex and Axi0m (hold down power button, toggle nav bar on/off).

This is very close to what I want, but I wanna get something a bit more
is it possible to make the black background of the nav soft key transpartent or opaque so that I can read what is behind the buttons?
Or make it auto hide unless I touch near the bottom... is something like this doable?
for what its worth, Im using gummynex now and its very nice but the nav bar transparency makes the drawing of the icon go away, not make the nav bar background clear/transparent
Are there any app that allows us to swipe the bottom to show/hide the navbar like Smart Statusbar?

I use Nova Launcher and it gives you an option to show/hide the status bar and dock. You can then assign a gesture to show/hide them if you like.
I think he's talking about the actual navigation bar, not about statusbar or dock. I'd be very interested too, but I doubt it unless it is cooked into a ROM.
flash paranoidandroid and be fully happy

Oh sorry, my bad. I though the OP was talking about the status bar since the app he referred to has screenshots of the status bar being hidden.
But ya not sure if there is an app to hide the nav bar (back, home button...) unless on a custom ROM.
What can it do?
Thanks guys for the replies.

I think he means swipe up on the screen to open the launcher menu.
Here's what I'm doing at the moment:
1) ROM: ParanoidAndroid 2.14 (about to flash 2.16 which is reported to have transparent navbar)
2) Alt. Nav: LMT 1.5
3) Launcher: Apex
Using PA 2.14, I went to settings to hide the navbar completely (it never comes back up unless I turn it back on). I then use LMT 1.5 to navigate (typically through "pie" buttons at the edge of the screen, but gestures are also supported). I also hid my status bar via Apex Launcher and toggle it on and off.
Note: Apex Launcher only hides my status bar at the home screen. When I am on any other page aside from home, the status bar comes back automatically. You can completely disable navbar and status bar in PA using the "expanded desktop" feature.
Took me a few days to come up with this set up, but it works great :good:
edit: as far as swiping up to access navbar, try apex's gesture settings

Thanks. Tried LMT and it work great. Will stick to this for now.
Can someone post a screenshot of the transparent nav bar on PA? Thanks! :good:
Navbar removal is now an option in CNA ROM as well.

i use nova launcher. i have it set to always hide the status bar by default, but when i swipe down itll show/hide it.
if the rom you are using has the expanded desktop feature, you can enable it to disable both status bar and nav bar thus making your gnex full screen

im using bigxie's stock 4.2 right now, i tried using cm 10.1, but after a factory reset i flashed it and my phone just went crazy so i went back to stock roms again :/
GoLauncher gives you that option for only when using launcher...to hide status bar: preferences/appearance settings/uncheck show status bar OR GET THIS APP
GMD Hide Bar (must be rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbWQuaGlkZWJhciJd I tried this app...works good on ICS
Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back
How I can get a transparent or semitransparent navbar? Would prefer semitransparent.
Only way I can imagine that working is making it yourself.

would the be so that you could look at the bottom of your background through the navbar?
I ask because that would be the result. an app window wouldn't appear under it, unless in immersive mode... which in full immersive mode - the navbar is transparent...
your typical app is constrained to the screen space between the statusbar and navbar.. they are in non-immersive mode... to better understand what I mean, look at the diagram here;
https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
also, when u do see apps where the statusbar or navbar look more integrated with the app, that's probably hinting to colourize them to match the app...
anyhoo, I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in, because I don't think a transparent navbar is going to do what u want it to (?).
I recommend nav bar apps, at least with it the nav bar can dynamically change colors based on the foreground app. This is the app to go-to if you're worried about screen burn.
