How to auto-hide navbar in Stock rom (S-off) - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using the Viper roms since right after I got this phone. It is/was an ATT branded phone, but is now S-off and I am running a 4.30.617.12. I am no longer running VIper as I cannot get a 6.x viper rom to have decent battery life. I need a couple mods, though, and am unsure how to do them. The primary one is the auto hide of the stock navbar. There are instructions all over the web about editing a editing a setting:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
but this is not nearly as good as teh options for the stock navbar in the viper roms. Is there an APK or something that could help? Also with the settings mod, it does nothing about the 'car mode' nav bar which is HUGE!!!!! and takes up over 15% of the screen. I can get used to hiding and unhiding the normal mode nav bar, but really want to be able to auto hide the car mode one. This was all handled nicely in the viper rom 'auto hide stock navbar' option.
The other is the file naming convention of the camera files. "Image0001.jpg' makes no sense to me at all. I prefer a date prepend in YYYYMMDD format if possible.
Any help finding solutions to one or both of these would be greatly appreciated.

As far as i know to the best you'll get for hiding the nav bar is to have a button on it to hide it manually.
Settings/personalise/navigation bar options/ check the box for "hide navigation bar".
To change the naming of the photos will require a 3rd party app. You cannot change the naming scheme otherwise, nor reset the image count without a factory reset.
Hardly a solution but I hope this helped.

[Q] Connectivity bar?

I don't quite know what the thing is called. That's basically my question:
Can the pull-down connectivity bar at the top that allows you to quickly turn on or off wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as switch between vibration and ring tone be installed on a Sense ROM?
I've encountered it on CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and rather liked it. Unfortunately, I prefer some of the HTC Sense functionality, so I switched back to the stock ROM (after learning how to uninstall uninstallable apps, that is ). But the stock does not have this bar. Where it would normaly be, there is only my network provider's name and a delete button for the messages.
How do I get this functionality back?
Regards and thank you,
it's built into the framework of a rom. If you want the feature then I suggest you install a rom with it or just use the power widget thing
Seriously? The only option is a widget? That's sad.
Afraid so, the widget notification bar thing is one of the tweaks and features Cyanogen put in CM. It is quite handy.
Back when I had my Evo there were devs making flashable zips for notification pull down controls for this so I'd assume they're around for the G2 as well. On the Evo it required a Deodexed ROM though so you might as well just flash one that already has em in it at that rate.
Hmmm... I'm just warming up to the Virtuous ROM so I don't think using Cyanogen again will be an option.
Ah, what the heck, whether I pull down the menu or scroll to the right once doesn't matter much, does it .
Thanks for the replies .

Full Screen Mod - Remove Navigation Bar

I have the non-developer edition RAZR M, but I have root. I am looking to remove the navigation bar from the bottom of the screen, to ultimately increase screen size. I have done some searching around other forums and other devices where this has been done, and it seems the files to change might be located in the SystemUI.apk. Can anyone confirm this? Also, without having a custom recovery, will it be able to make these changes by simply replacing the files through either root explorer, or adb, rather than needing to create a flashable zip? Any guidance on this mod would be appreciated, and I would love to share something like this with the wonderful XDA community.

Since the Razr M doesn't have hardware buttons for home, multitask, etc how would you navigate? I've seen some apps that temporarily hide the navigation bar when playing fullscreen movies, etc.

There is a navigation bar launcher called LMT. It's extremely customizable and even allows for changing long press options. Check it out here:

I use GMD Gesture Control:

Not only can you have gestures to go back / home etc, but you can have a gesture to hide & show the navigation bar and have access to the full screen. The only downside I've seen is when the navigation bar is hidden, incoming calls don't display properly, and you need to show the navigation bar before accepting the call. Make sure you have the navigation bar enable itself when turning off the screen so call notifications will work properly.

This is a root app that is super stable and though it says "for tablets" it works fine on our phone.
It allows you to hide the status and nav bars through a super customizable corner pie.
The paid versions adds the ability to enable/disable the bars automatically on a per app basis.

[Q] Status Bar Forced Auto-Hide on Home Screen

This is likely appropriate for the SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7 thread, but with my being new herein, I can't post in the dev forums yet...
Device Vitals: Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710), running SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7, and Nova Launcher Prime 2.1.1
Issue: Status Bar is force auto-hiding on launcher home pages even with notifications therein. Does pull-down and otherwise function as expected.
Comments:
Verified that Expanded Desktop is not selected in power menu
Verified that Status Bar is not set to auto-hide in: System Settings | Interface | Status Bar
Status Bar does show on all other screens - Lock, Settings, in apps, etc. - it just auto-hides on the home screen when I believe it shouldn't
Problem seems to have shown-up after installing the Firefox full-screen plugin or when I was fracking around to get Photosphere functional
I have tried various iterations of trying to get things synced back up, if it is a settings sync issue (including booting safe and making settings changes therein (not honored then, either), uninstalling firefox, etc.)
I have back-ups and am willing and able to do a fresh reflash of the ROM/add-ons, etc. However, I'd like to avoid same, as the inevitable tweaking needed to get various apps functioning as I desire is pretty time consuming - ~4-6hrs I am guessing.
I am wondering if there is a script I can run, or some other means of forcibly resetting the OS to not auto-hide the Status Bar, and start honoring the settings asserted in the System Settings UI. It feels like a simple toggle got out of sync somewhere, or something else equally benign, but I am not a dev, and only a hack scripter (x86), so I don't know what I don't know.
I'd hate to have to reflash and reconfig when a simple manual edit/script can possibly resolve.
Can anyone offer any assistance, please? TIA.

It was a bad Launcher profile. I reflashed the ROM, and restored all apps, to no avail. I restored an earlier backup of the Launcher and the issue was resolved.
Who effin knew... Ugh.

Navigation bar button to pull down settings menu

Hey everyone,
I'm trying some new ROMs and I am missing one important thing from stock: A button to pull down the settings and notifications menu in the navigation bar. My hand isn't big enough to use the whole screen single-handedly. This is possible in the stock ROM, but I haven't found a solution for custom ROMs.
In Nougat you can change your navigation bar, but out of the hundreds of commands there is no one that fits my needs. Any ideas?
Thanks!

How can I change navbar height in Oreo Open Beta

I just updated my 5t to the Oreo open beta. Before that i was on OOS 4.7.6 and was using Substratum with the Navbar Height Plug in. It was working great on OOS 4.7.6. I had my nav bar set at the lowest DPI -18. Just barely visible so I could use All in one gestures as my main way of navigating and having access to the navbar for long press items(exiting screen pinning, double tap back to bring the notification panel down, etc..)
Now im looking for a way to do this on Oreo. The substratum method that was working before is not working on Oreo neither are any of the many navbar apps available.
What method can I use to change the Navbar height? I am looking for anyway I can change the dpi.
My end goal here is to shrink the navbar, nothing else.
To mention I am rooted and havent modified anything else.
I've got the exact same question so I'm bumping it. Went from 4.7.6 to 5.0 (Open Beta 1) and also used Navbar Height to set my Height to 0 to use Swipe Navigation. So far haven't found any other app/setting/build.prop editing sucesfully hiding my navbar.
I hide the navbar with this:

Bumping this because I can't find a solution. Only more questions like mine. All I've found out is this is a problem specific to OnePlus(of course) and that they did something weird with the navbar on the 5t.
what about removing the nav bar. hate navnars
I got it working by installing https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lustools&rdid=net.jroot3d.joneplustools&pli=1 then adding the quick setting called Navigation Button that comes with the app.
I don't want to remove the navbar. I want to shrink it. Apparently OnePlus does something different as far as framework files for the navbar on Oreo. On oos 4.7.6(nougat) it worked just fine with substratum and any other app from the play store that modified the navbar. With the introduction of Oreo they changed something and it's very specific to just the 5t running Oreo. I just want to know what file I'm looking for and how to modify it be it with some framework edit or an app specific for the navbar on the 5t.

Hey bud are you on Oreo? I'm using the same thing but the notification button isn't working and even if I manage to hide my navbar I can't block it, it'll always slide up when I swipe.
