[Q] Launcher with home button? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

This isn't exactly what you are looking for but it would help you eliminate the need to use the "n" button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659919

Update
Sorry for the late reply but in the end I went with Ultimate Nav Bar... It isnt a launcher but does just what I need it to. Thanks for the suggestions.

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.

Does anyone know if it would work on Bindroid.
One other thing, i dont think its a good idea that you can swipe it up and down, because i like to remove my bar when the kid is playing with it.

Yup same here, power button was best option for me since my son only touches the screen. Can't seem to get that mod to work more than once per boot. HideBar just freezes.
This one looks very promising, will check it out tonight

Lockscreen for N7 that works like the Ubuntu Phone?

Does something like this exist? I think it looks really cool and would be neat to try out.

"it's not a lock screen, it's a welcome screen"
And not with the edge swiping gestures, but you could try widget locker. It's the only thing I can think of from back when I still used lock screens.

Even with widget locker I'd still need the widget with that functionality, that's what I'm looking for, but thank you for your reply.
What functionality are you looking for? Common inbox? Fast shortcuts to most used apps? It's hard to tell what you're looking for exactly. Alternatively, I'm sure once the GNex images are out there someone will port in some form whatever is worth porting.

[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?.
Thanks op . this was bugging me for ages !!!!

awesome..thanks for this...which one would you recommend though? LMT or PIE?
I used LMT but it seems like it lags a tad. Hitting the back button on my nav bar responds a lot faster than touching the back button on LMT...or is it just me?

I use PIE included in Rootbox box and no problem, no lag or anything esle. It's a a quitte difficult at the beginning to get the right movement but a bit of training and it's good for me.
I use LMT on my Galaxy tab without lag too...

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.

Just taking a guess but did you accidentally change permissions of the build.prop file or mistype the command?

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.

(Q) Notification bar shortcuts

Hi all,
Is there any way to customise the notification bar shortcuts or hide them completely? I might be being dumb but can't find any options whatsoever...
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
Anyone?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
There's always a way. But it depends on what precisely you want to do.
If you want to change their appearance, that's quite simple. If you want to change what shortcuts or toggles are there, that involves smali and is a bit more complicated.

Manually Edit the Status Bar

Hi everyone,
I've been doing some searching, on here and Google, on changing the location of itemes on the status bar e.g. the signal status icon, but I haven't yielded any results. Is there an app that lets you do this manually or will it be a case of finding a mod with the locations of the icons I want?
Thanks in advance!

It's not doable with an app, the framework needs to be recompiled for that (and it's not an easy task since there are many layout dependencies), ergo you need a mod.
