Never understood the whining about on-screen buttons taking screen space. - Nexus 4 General

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.

was kinda disappointed how much they take space the nav bar buttons on stock...but again at the same time i just got used to it..simple really..and with XDA well you know how awesome these guys are

@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

I think it's ok, but the black space around the keys are a waste... there's a lot of pixel lines to take away from the nav bar...

I like it, it makes the phone much easier to use. My same sized One X with it's lower down capacitive buttons would become uncomfortable after a while of repetitive thumb moving.

Its a forum for discussion, his topic is related to Nexus 4 and is general. It doesnt matter if he wants to talk about a nexus 4's processor/ram/camera or the shape of the fingerprint he found on the screen, i think he's entitled.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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.

[LauncherPro Docks] Blue, Green, Red, come check em out!

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.

Am I the only one who likes the stock UI?

Seriously, I'm in love with it. I had originally planned to go to a tablet ui but it just doesn't feel right. At least on a 7in it doesn't.
- there's already enough room on home screens
- rather pull down notifications than tap from bottom
- don't like combined bar.
Anyone else feel this way or am I just wierd?

I like stock UI on this very much.. which is why i'm holding off on installing trusty ol' Nova launcher. i just dont have the need yet. (no landscape home screen doesnt bother me too much at this point)
tried the 160 dpi switch, but didn't care for the empty space at the bottom of the screen . seemed a little wasteful.. so switched back to stock 231dpi
I like it, especially now that the team eos ROM has support for toggles in the pull down notification bar. I also like that the home, back, and recent apps buttons are centered.

I love the stock UI and tablet UI would look stupid in such a small tablet. Also why not try something new instead of living in past. The portrait home screen do not bother me and I try to keep using it in portrait mode as much as I can because the tablet is so manageable in one hand in portrait mode. The notification drop down and everything is good with the UI however I don't like the look of app drawer just like other android tablets. They should come up with something nice. I don't use app drawer on my device and I keep apps that I use everyday in folders on one of my home screen.

The stock UI is great, and mostly bloat free. I don't feel the need to customize at all.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have no complaints with it, and see no reason to look for an alternate launcher. This is my first Android tablet though, so haven't really seen what other launchers/roms have to offer.
So far I like it. I'm running CM9 on my phone and I like the AOSP look a lot.
I've only had mine for a day but so far I can't see any reason to change from stock.

Auto hide hardware buttons for extra screen estate?

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....

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.

ViperROM does that by tapping the top of the notification window.
Anyways, I don't see how this is any better than the other stock ROMs at the moment as they all have the same features. Don't care for the color either... The dark blue really strains the eyes.

Derp One will be moved to original development soon enough. Everyone just started so the similarities to stock are still there. Bad seed does a lot behind the scenes so don't underestimate the original work done on that rom.

to be honest regarding Prime, I'm not really sure what it adds. I purchased that many years ago so I just am used to having it. I do use a gesture to swipe up on the app drawer icon in order to launch Google Now.
Here's an update, I changed my Desktop Grid to be 8 rows by 5 columns so I could do a 3x3 grid in the middle...

As far as I can tell, the only benefit with prime (for my needs) are the app drawer additions, such as hiding apps, tabs, tab groups, etc...and maybe icon size. I haven't upgraded to Prime yet, but seriously considering it just for those features.
I constantly use nova prime. Mostly with the swipe gestures to open apps or for dialing shortcuts.

Prime is well worth it in my opinion, especially for the gestures alone. I see myself using the feature all the time, for example I have the "Double Tap" set to the status bar; so when I double tap my screen the status bar dissapears/or reappears. Helps a lot with screen space (that status bar can be annoying).
The icon size is great if you're looking for something less in size, I tend to think the stock icon size is a bit over whelming.
