Hi everybody!
I have been having such a kind of problem for quite a while with different ROMs and I was just wondering if there is any solution to overcome it. The problem appears when I launch some any full-screen application and after that open or close keyboard. The status bar with the start button appears on top of this application and it just disturbs me and dosn't allow me to use the controls on the top of the screen. Thanks a lot for reading and replying to this thread.
Moved as not ROM Development..
Sorry for putting the thread into the inappropriate section..
Hi guys,
Probably simple one but buggered if I can see it....
Have just upgraded to ICS via Kies (think I got one of the early german handsets that Expansys were selling before UK launch).
I can't seem to find how to change the main apps that are permanently showing at the bottom of the screen. I'm sure before I could just drag and drop them from main screen to menu bar.
Thanks
Sorry Mods... just realised posted in wrong section please delete
tap menu button, then edit..then drag
Thats what its used to be on Gingerbread but when I do it now all I get is the 6 homescreens showing as little screenshots which can be dragged in the Remove trash can below.
Hey forum.
Had XZ för about 2 weeks now and I'm happy with it... but;
Is there any way to remove the navigation buttons when you play games?
I mean, when you look at videos, they are hidden.
This is so disturbing when you play a game where the controls are pretty much at that location, and you accidently
press "Home" and leaving the game, or "Back" button to go back

Well, as far as I know, all the games got menu that allows the player to exit the game.
You could mention one that doesn't have it?

This app "full!screen" temporary hides the notification bar and replaces the navigation buttons, but does require root.
Did not really bother with the app "buttonsavior" because "full!screen" covers all functions I need.
All you will have left is the BACK button and HOME button, you can set size and transparency \ color.
(These should be set kinda small and transparant and placed in the left and right corner so you do not see them to much.)
Then you can as assign long press and swipe up to each button, so you basically have all functions covered.
- Restore systembar (So you can get your original navigation buttons back anytime you want.)
- Open apps menu (Opens the option menu of the current app.)
- Show notifications (Shows the on-going events of the notification bar.)
- Show recent apps
The only downsides I found are:
- When you restore systembar the battery percentage no longer shows on the official notification bar.
(This is fixed after rebooting the phone, perhaps anyone knows another way of getting it back?)
- I did not find out how to close apps from the recent apps function like you can with the build in task manager.
(This is not a big problem as you can regain the official bars anytime you want.)
I really love using the browser and games using this.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Thank you, I will for sure check this out :good:
I have an unlocked rooted VZ Dev Ed with Xposed and Gravity Box and Ultimate Nav Bar module. But I still can't figure out how to add a magnifying glass to my stock soft keys. Ultimate Nav Bar only seems to give me yet another Nav Bar that pops up when I press the trigger but doesn't replace my existing soft keys. Maybe I'm not setting up Ultimate Nav Bar correctly?
I like having persistent softkeys or at least ones that are easily accessible with a swipe up. (Although swiping up from the bottom seems to trigger Google Now so I set Ultimate Nav bar to be triggered by a press on the right instead of a swipe.)
I prefer the stock softkeys to Ultimate Nav Bar anyway. I did add the three dots menu to my stock softkeys but I would also like to add the magnifying glass for search. Is this possible? If not, how do I completely replace the stock softkeys with Ultimate Navbar?
Judging by the lack of response - I guess its not possible (Unless I want to flash a CM rom.)
I just want to say "Me Too". This is the biggest thing I miss from the AOKP ROM. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an Xposed module that does this. (No, Gravitybox's extra button does not provide the context sensitive search I'm looking for).
EDIT @Heisenberg sorry, only after posting this I noticed the warning. Please delete my post. I will write in the right section.
Thanks
Hy,
At the bottom of the (magazine) lock screen there is a bar with some quick access buttons. I wonder if there is a way to link some buttons to specific apps, rather than the ones phone came with.
In my specific case, I would like to replace the app that opens when I press the Calculator button. To add a app that I installed (and added it as system app).
Please see attachment for details.
