[MOD] Smaller navigation bar [VZW]

** Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. Proceed at your own risk. I am not liable or responsible for anything. **
** Disclaimer 2: I don't own a Verizon G2, so while I know my tweaks work on AT&T and I made the same ones against Verizon framework files for these, I currently have no guarantee they work. **
Description:
I like my screen real-estate. Going from S4 -> G2 I was sad that despite the larger screen, I had *less* real estate because of the on-screen soft keys.
I know a lot of you use GMB Hide Soft Keys and it is a great app, however, I personally prefer to have an always-on, always-available set of navigation keys.
Enter this mod. It shrinks the nav bar down considerably, increasing screen real estate.
Notes:
Screenshots attached
Tested conceptually against similar tweaks made on AT&T LG G2

Thank you for taking the time to make this mod for the Verizon model.
Sent from Verizon logo plastered G2 bastard

Awesome! And works with the black bar, and recent mods!

That's awesome, I'm finally satisfied with the G2's screen. Thank you very much. :good:

Do you think this will work on tmobile version?

This looks great! Thank you.
Is there a way to hide the status bar at the top? Since we have the pulldown menu button I would like to hide the status bar entirely and free up that real estate.

thanks dude, works well! and confirmed it works with the black status bar mod

does not work, I have a bootloop brick with no adb sup[port and cant boot recovery...
OK
1. Turn device off by holding power key down until bootloop stops.
2. Hold power, down volume and where the home key would be.
3. choose yes factory reset, should take you back to recovery....

I know for a fact that this will not work on T-Mobile directly, the same tweak will, but it would have to be T-Mobile's file version.
You should be able to garner ADB access from the LG splash boot screen by holding Vol Down on boot, it won't go into recovery but it will lock up on the LG logo and should be recognized by your comp, at least it worked for me during testing.
Get a T-Mobile owner to send you framework-res.apk from /system/framework and replace yours and you should be good to go.

I'm actually using Nova Launcher, it has a few different Folder display options. You'll lose the ability to double-tap-screen-off on the homescreen, but you can still double-tap-screen-off on the status bar up top at any time to get the same result.

The Screen Off app from PlayStore will give you back the screen off tap ability when using Apex and Nova.

Does flashing this mod take the message quick reply away? When I installed the gmd app the other day I lost the quick reply no matter what I did. Can anyone confirm it still has pop up

It shouldn't affect quick reply in any way. It is a relatively simple and unintrusive tweak, affecting a separate class file than what is involved with quick reply.
I don't know enough about how GMD works, but I know it is still quasi-beta and people can sometimes have weird interactions with untested UIs.
Cheers.

Thanks for that tidbit. I have actually been using Tasker to do it with Nova, but for people that don't have Tasker yet, and it's good to have options.

This worked great. It really makes a big difference.
Thank you

My Verizon G2 is rooted and has the OTA 11B software, so I haven't tried to get TWRP installed yet.
Is there any way to install one of these smaller navigation bars without flashing the zip via TWPR?
I tried the APK (renamed with as .apk), but they would not install.

If you're already using xposed, install Gravity Box and assign the power menu function to one of the buttons you already have. No need to mod the systemUI.apk.

I've tried but there seems to be a problem with the gravity box, everytime I enable the module, I have 2 battery icon in the notification area, one stock and one big white empty bar, when I chose to untick it is gone but when I tick some box and reboot my phone, it'll come back again. and I found the power button thing but when I did it, the ratio of 5 button is incorrect, the home button is not in the middle anymore,
now I disabled the module and everything came back to normal.
any suggestion?

First of all, if you have two battery icons, then you're most likely using two different modules that alter the battery icon (maybe Xblast, or alike). Secondly, you don't need to enable the status bar/battery icon setting in GB, you can just disable it; all it does is change the icon, not add anything, so like I said, if you have two icons, you've got some other module interfering. And I'm pretty sure you don't need to enable the navigation bar features in order to use the Navigation Key actions settings. Check out my attached screenshots.

Thank you so much I'll try to fix it.
I have GEM xperia xposed, Xperia/AOSP Navbar bttons/Xperia xposed, these 3 modules are the ones I enabled. If I disable Xperia/Navbar module and use gravitybox Can I make 5 buttons?
and about the battery icons, I have no idea which module is interfering? I don't really mess up with those in notification bar.
Thank you

With Gravity Box you can have a Menu, Back, Recent, Home, and Custom button navigation bar; that would make five buttons. When I used that specific feature they were never messed up. I don't know how heavily modified your SystemUI or framework is, but all those modules you're using modify the SystemUI, so what I would do is disable those and then enable Gravity Box and see if you get the same two battery icons.
I don't think you'd need to disable any modules, you just need to know which features of which modules change what.
For instance, I'm using Gravity Box, which can change the battery, but I like using the Circle with Text Percentage battery icon, and the one in Gravity Box looks a bit off to me, so I leave that option on stock, and installed Xbattery Themer to change the battery icon, which appears as can be seen in my previous screenshots.
Previously, before modding my own framework, I used to even use Xblast and Gravity Box at the same time (and sometimes still do). They both have similar features, but I don't use the same features of both modules at once.

[APP] Good Lock

Has anyone tried out the Good Lock App?
I red about it on Android Police (I'm not allowed to post links, so just google "Good Lock Android Police"), and it works flawlessly until the next reboot, it will uninstall itself. Because the app seems to be rather new, I didn't find a solution yet.
As far as I know from other reviews it works on the S7/S7 edge without any problems.
So yeah, anyone tried it, encountered the same problem, maybe found a solution?
Some screenshots of the app: (Imgur.com) /a/DaFWj

I tried on my s6 and it works fine like on the s7 but i didnt tried for long time though because i didnt like yet that much.

There is another problem with this app. After recent screen was activated - home button can get unresponsible. You can get to home screen only from pressing it twice or more.

hide nav bar

I was wondering if any one knew how to hide the nav bar when the keyboard was open. Where it really bothers me the most is when I'm texting.

You can use Systemui tuner app, from playstore, there is an option "inmersive mode", you choose navigation bar, and the nav bar will ALWAYS hide, even in home screen, but for this app to work, you need to grant permissions with ADB, the app itself guides you for doing it, look at this:

That doesn't work. It still shows when the keyboard is open

Well, I use AI type keyboard, the nav bar appears below the keyboard, and the back arrow in nav bar changes to a down arrow to hide the keyboard, I find this as a good implementation, the nav bar does not overlay the keyboard, or you just donot want to see it?

Move clock/time to right side?.

Any way to move the clock/time to right side? Insert rant about android 9.
The usual samsung methods don't work. The SystemUI tuner app does not work either. TouchWiz is missing from the Beta+Rooted+adb permissions given version of the app. The custom entry keys (middle/right_clock_position) do nothing both on or off.
Also for the phone dialer, is there any way to change to one click to accept instead of the slide method?
ROG/ZenUI is really lacking in customization.

Don't think there is currently a way to move the clock. It bothered me too when I first got the phone, but now after a little over a week of use it's perfectly fine, I'm use to it. Not sure about the dialer tap to answer instead of slide, as I prefer slide to answer because it's less likely you'll accidentally answer an unwanted call.

Thanks, though now there's no way to show the 120HZ but not the auto-rotate indicator. Depending on if you have free or pro, it'll either show both or neither.
I guess nothing can work properly. It's about to be expected since it was never updated for android 9.
Thanks though.
EDIT: it's even more of a buggy mess, the temporary notifications don't disappear ever (message received, downloading item, etc .

Hrmm? Yes they do.
I've attached screenshots

It does not for me. The icons are stuck there after the notification ends. Are you using EdXposed and Flat status bar indicators v5.1.3?
I also have system tuner UI installed which may interfere with it.
EDIT: It turns out SandHook is more stable than YAHFA in this case.
