Auto hide hardware buttons for extra screen estate? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way that the onscreen hardware buttons could be hidden to gain more screen estate.
Much like the notification bar at the top of the screen, there must be a way to develop a "drag up" option for the bottom of the screen to expose the 3 hardware buttons when you need them.
Anyone else like to see such a mod?
Anyone any ideas as to how easy or not this would be to develop?
Thanks in advance....

Sounds like a very good idea. In the meantime there is thread in the theme section with a MOD that will make them a lot smaller.
Its this one [THEME][MODs] Original Theme Project | Xperia T |

Wow, that's a brilliant idea! Give the idea to AOKP developers perhaps? Although it could slow down the phone...

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I think a potential comprise maybe to consolidate the status bar and notification bar at the bottom of the screen, like the tablets.
I think this is done in the paranoid android jb Rom, though the Rom seems to have a few bugs. Be nice if it was possible in ics stock Roms.
Anyone know which dev I should pm to enquire about the above 2 ideas?

Hi. Nice app.. i have one requeat that could make this app eaven more usable.
Either make widget for one touch system bar removel or make a shortcut for desktop to make a one touch system bar removal.
What do you think about that??
Great app as I said before.

The best solution would be, that the statusbar disappears, when you swipe down on the screen , and appears if you swipe up.

[Tweak] How to remove the softkeys/navbar WITHOUT remove the statusbar.

Edit your build.prop and add this line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
It's cool if you like to use LMT or PIE, that permit to use the full screen and keep the statusbar features.
Need a reboot.
Don't use "expand desktop" option.
Off course, activate another Softkeys/navbar solution (LMT,PIE...) BEFORE add the line in the build.prop !
LMT : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
PIE is roughly the same (less functions) as LMT and it's directly inculded in PA, RootBox...
Please report how it work on other ROM/Kernel.
Edit : Now using PA, just go to Settings/Hybrid Property/Interface dans set Nav. Bar to 0.
That do the trick.
Enjoy
Thanks, didn't think it was that easy.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Thank you for this. Great information. Sadly can't access that file yet until I am rooted, but I do look forward to it.
in pa you simply set navbar to 0%. done. no reboot needed. and pie is not part of lmt. lmt is a ready made google control tweaked a bit. pie is an open source control written from scratch. everything that goes beyond simple navigation is pie and was pies from the beginning. lmt took/replicated some of these ideas now, but please someone stop that meme already, i seriously cant see it anymore. everyday lmt gets another idea from us and people then come and say we got it from them is like a kick in the kneecap.

Doesnt make a difference in PA, same effect as setting the nav bar to 0% in PA settings the issue I have is that PIE works in basic mode where there is only the buttons no notifications when I activate it. Would rather have that function as I liked that part of it .
If you look at this thread again Moles, any idea?.

I use Button Savior with this line added to system/build.prop "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1". Works like a charm. Button Savior is available at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=button+savior and provides hidden soft keys navigation available with a simple swipe or by clicking an app icon. Works with any launcher.

Yes. It will come back if you delete that line.
Although it's been said already, make sure you have an alternate nav key option installed before adding that line.

Is this why we have bootloops when flashing a modified framework-res.apk?
My response to the request was going to be simply that as far as I know, nobody has managed to recompile framework-res without causing bootloops, and until that's resolved, we're not going to see much real theming for T/V. Without the option to edit 9.png's and xml's, there's no way to modify - among other things - popups, most buttons, tabs, color values, text styles, etc. I've mentioned this issue in the apktool thread but gotten no response, I guess the next thing I'll do is report it as an issue on their website.
Sent from my LT25i using xda premium
There are quite a few things that can be modified without touching framework-res, like nav bar buttons (which has been done already), background image/color and status bar things like text color, center clock, toggle buttons. Also, we could modify one of the stock Sony themes to get a little closer. It wouldn't be real AOSP but I think we can get pretty close. Let me know if this is acceptable and I'll give it a try.

THAT would be great. Would also be great if you can remove the silver bar on the dock, or maybe guide me to the right direction.
For the past two days I've tried making the status bar and the navigation bar to fully transparent, but no luck. Modifying framework-res.apk causes bootloops and systemui crash. >.>
Im not knowledgeable to the point to avoid this yet
I shouldn't have said "no real theming", because not only is that being too negative and a bit over-dramatic, but it takes away from the work that people have already done and are doing now. So apologies for that!
And sorry for the OT.

Removing the dock bar is easy but it's a little too late here to go into that now. Modifying framework-res is a no-go, at least not in the easy re/decompile way.
I've made a little package with my modifications. I know some people have already done bits of this but it felt better doing it all in one go from scratch. All files are taken from galaxy nexus and nexus 4 factory images (jzo54k and jdq39). This has small nav bar buttons from recoba23 and lidroid power widget by peetr_, modified a bit by me. Made a custom theme to better fit the jelly bean blue color and wallpaper + lockscreen background. Replaced the app background with just plain black. Nexus bootanimation. Added AOSP launcher. You can get the AOSP lockscreen by renaming/deleting UxpNxtLockscreen.apk but it doesn't look right, there was some kind of weird bar at the bottom
Let me know what you think could be better or feel free to customize it. Maybe we should start a new thread or change the title because it's not really a request anymore :laugh:

Never understood the whining about on-screen buttons taking screen space.

Its one of those things that is just so ridiculous. When you buy a phone with on-screen buttons its so obvious that the actual screen won't be as big as a phone with the same screen size but hard buttons. How is this difficult to understand for so many people is beyond me.
The main purpose of on-screen buttons is to allow for a flexible and dynamic navigation not to maximize screen space.
Default size for navbar is the issue, indeed it look ridiculous and rather goofy IMHO. Luckily custom ROMs allow it to be shrunken or removed and replaced with pie.

Yes, though I myself was disappointed, moving from a 4.0 inch (with the buttons not on the screen( to a 4.3 inch device (with the buttons taking screen space), and seeing very little difference.
PIE/custom ROMs are the workaround, but for "most" users, the workable screen area is not what is implied.

@GAMBLER - the reason of crating a separate thread is actually beyond me and not people being different and having different preferences and different needs. So I don't really understand what's your point, as people can decide better what's good and what's not for themselves and with android they have plenty of options to change things the way they want it. Also its only software buttons so you can do whatever you want with them, if everyone was complaining about the hardware buttons taking space then it would be different story

It would be very interesting if they made a transparent nav bar where maybe buttons pop up when you press them or the symbols float over the app.. Or maybe the symbols are floating but with an inverted color scheme like the windows XP inverted mouse o.o

@younix yes your are absolutely right it is forum and it is for discussion. But what I don't like is the generalisation and the tone. If it was written in a different way maybe then it would be perfectly fine as it would invite for discussion.
Also it's best when ideas are supported by some facts and not just bashing something without concrete support.
But then again its my opinion and whether you agree or not its up to you.

Well I can see WHY people are concerned with the buttons taking up real-estate, but I don't agree with it. I'd much rather have the on-screen buttons rather than the alternative: hard buttons.
And I get the concerns that the stock buttons are too large. I kind of agree, however I'm pretty used to it so I'm indifferent about any changes. Right now I'm using PIE anyway.
I think it would look nice if they take away the black background (make it fully transparent) and separate the buttons.
The transparency would give a feel of a bigger screen, and we'd still have the buttons, circle/square or whatever shape, separated from one another, as if they're floating over the wallpaper.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Because it consumes the space of the display yet the phone still looks like it was meant to have capacitive buttons below. (That huge space below that is ruled by a small led light!? Hell lg or google can place that damn led light near the sensors)
I'm going to buy a nexus 4 soon . but I don't think it will take much place. I hope I'm right..

Almost every custom ROM I've seen lets you change the nav bar height. Others will let you change the colour and set transparency.
This is really easy, if you don't like onscreen buttons, don't buy a nexus.
I never understood all the complaining about the onscreen buttons also, for the people that don't like it, I will suggest to get another phone.

I prefer capacitive buttons on a phone or mini tablet. Maybe its just what I am use to. In didn't fancy the nav bar on my n7 and I really didn't care for pie controlls. On my note 10.1 I think they work flawless andthe screen is so large that I don't feel I am missing anything. I don't understand why people hate capacitive buttons if you don't like them you are not forced to use them. But it's ok we all have preference and neither is right or wrong but just an opinion.

[Q] Launcher with home button?

Greetings,
Looking to add a launcher to my stock hd+... are there any that would add the android home row to the bottom that way I can stop using the "n" buttom? Thanks to all suggestions.
I don't think what you are looking for is a launcher. You are basically looking for an installable navigation bar. I don't think one exists for non-rooted devices. But I haven't exactly searched either.

Exactly, pretty much I'm looking for the standard navigation bar with "back" and "home" although I'm not sure thats what they are called. But do you know of one for "rooted" devices?
Well, if you root you can install the CyanogenMod operating system which will give you what you are looking for. Check the Development thread.
