NOT HIDE but change height and opacity - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Our phones are almost perfect, the rooted Pure edition ALMOST has no need for a custom ROM. There are only two things I haven't been able to do. Center the clock and change the height and color of the Nav Bar. Does anyone know of an app that will allow this? I don't want to hide it just change the height and transparency. I looked for something in the build.prop but it isn't there. This is the first phone I've had with softkeys

If you're on KK still you can use Xposed + GravityBox. That's what I do. My navbar is at 65% height and I also have a quick settings toggle that hides it completely and turns on PIE controls so I can game in full screen.

Best/Safest way to hide navbar?

This is my first android with soft buttons, and coming from the DNA's 5" screen I would like to hide the navbar to get more screen space during games. I have root, and I tried GMD auto hide but when I hid the bar the phone just kept crashing. I just downloaded ultimate dynamic navbar and it says the safe way is to get XPOSED and install a module. Where do I find XPOSED? I had a MotoXposed but it didn't have the hid navbar option (and I couldn't get any of the other options to stick anyways) So is anyone out there using an app to hide the navbar on their Moto x? Thanks!

Nova launcher will do what I believe your asking.

MotoXposed (as well as the option you are talking about in UDN) require the Xposed Framework to be installed. You download Xposed Installer, install the Framework with that app, and then activate the desired modules within that app.
Go nova settings/look and feel/ un check show nav bar.
The option in nova is notification bar! I tried the usual methods. But get system ui errors. Build prop edit will get rid of it, but that's for good.

Yeah, I don't want to get rid of it, just hide it when I don't need it

To do this with Nova Launcher purchase version will be needed. Go to Nova Settings/ Gestures and Buttons/ then pick a gester like swipe down/ Toggle Notification bar. You would have to toggle the Notification bar before opening the app.
I hope this helps.
You can always just hide it using that build.prop edit then use pie launcher (lmt launcher) to be your nav bar

This app will help you hide the navbar, and replace it with Pie gestures when you swipe from the sides of the screen. there's lots of customization that comes with it as well. Have fun!

This app can hide the navbar indeed, but it hide the notification bar and disabled the recent apps interface as well..... Cannot separate these two things......

Notification bar toggles mod?

Just wanted to know if there is any mod for the notification bar to put quick toggles the way that Sammy phones have it. I hate having to click something to get to the toggles.

There's a good app called Power Toggles. Works pretty well.

What do you mean by "click something to get to the toggles?" Just swipe the notification shade down with two fingers to show the toggles. Tap a toggle to go into its settings or tap and hold to toggle the function.

There's no way to add new toggles to the noti. shade right? I'd kill for a flashlight switch there.

There is. It's called "Power Toggles" You can add many toggles (including flashlight) right below the date in the notification drawer. You don't even have to be rooted for this.

Go to playstore download an app called power toggles. Open the app and configure what toggles you want on notification bar. It will be the same as in samsung

Have you Checked out Xposed Framework and Gravitybox?
It allows you to turn your quicksettings into toggles. The main reason why I used gravitybox was the torch & wifi AP toggle plus it was just update so you can rearrange the order.
This option might be better if you want to keep android looking stock. Also Xposed framework brings in all kinds of options you'd expect with custom roms.
I'm hoping we get these kind of toggles on the Moto X. This is my Gnex. I don't know why moto didn't add the option to add more toggles like the SIV and G2.

Sorry to bring back a fairly old post but I have been looking for an Xposed module to do Notification toggles. I thought Gravity Box did it but I cant find it. Am I overlooking it or did it lose that feature along the way?

Under status bar tweaks, quick settings management. Turn the option on and reboot. Come back to this if you want to customize.

I've customized them already. I want them as notification toggles not tiles on their own curtain. There is no setting I can find to turn off the rules and make them toggles on the notification curtain.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
If you long press they act as toggles (that behavior can be changed as well). I know what you mean though. Maybe you can look at "Power Toggles" in the play store.

I really like Notification Toggles in Play. If rooted you can install as a system app and get true 1-touch state switching.

This. With gravity box..you just long press the tile and it toggles....no need to go into settings like when you just press the tiles quick.
Most...that I've tried anyway...apps that give you toggles on the notification screen, like Samsung, give you an icon in the status bar on the top left. And you can't get rid of it. Personally I can't stand that. Lol

[HOW-TO] Play games in full screen on the fly with expanded desktop + pie controls

If you're anything like me, you love the nav bar but HATE it when you're gaming. Well I just stumbled across a solution that made me the happiest person in the world. In this guide I will show you how to add a toggle to your quicksettings that will hide the navbar and give you pie controls on demand for full screen gaming or whenever you just want to ditch the navbar easily.
This method requires root, Xposed framework + GravityBox.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SCREW UP YOUR PHONE*
If you haven't already, download + install Xposed Framework.
Refer to this thread for framework + install instructions- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Download + install GravityBox and enable it in the Xposed Installer.
Get it here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049
Open GravityBox and go to Display tweaks. Enable Expanded desktop mode and set it to hide navigation bar (you can set it to hide the status bar as well if you like but this is not necessary to go full screen for gaming)
Go to Statusbar tweaks and hit Pie controls. Enable pie controls with the "when expanded desktop is on" setting. Now click Trigger positions and check the bottom and right border options. It would be wise to also shrink the trigger size down, so you don't accidentally hit it. I have mine set at 2px and you basically need to swipe in from the edge to bring up the pie.
Also in Statusbar tweaks, go to QuickSettings management and then Statusbar Quicksettings tiles. Select/deselect whatever tiles you want or don't want, just make sure that Expanded Desktop is selected.
if you enable the advanced reboot menu (power tweaks), you can toggle expanded desktop from there as well
Reboot your phone
Once this is all done, you can pull down your quicksettings shade and just hit the Expanded desktop toggle and your navbar will magically disappear and get replaced with pie controls. When done gaming, hit the toggle again and your navbar will reappear.
Bump for all the gamers!
I came from a Galaxy S4 so the perk there was enjoying the 5" screen without any on-screen buttons. Using your method I managed to hide the navbar completely and use pie.
Only differences I made is that PIE controls are active at all times and I changed the navbar height to 0 to completely hide it

Yeah I tried going the always PIE route and it got annoying after awhile. I like the navbar when just using the phone for normal stuff like browsing, but hate it when I'm playing a game. I had it shrunk to 30% when in landscape and that worked great for me up until I figured this out. This essentially gives us our own immersive mode that works on everything. Did this on my Moto X too.
Awesome! Was getting a bit fed up with the bar lurking at the side of the screen there.

Screen Recording Without a Navbar

So I turned off my Galaxy Note 8's navbar, doing so I lost the ability to screen record games from the navbar. Is there anyway I can get this feature back without the Navbar? Thanks in advance. (More specifically I'm talking about Game Tools)
I'm using game launcher on mine and my nav bar stays hidden. But the record function is there whenever I have a game open just have to swipe up from the bottom..

I'm using the Tigerhoods overlay which disables the navbar, I can't swipe up or anything. I know what your talking about but I sadly can't do that since I don't have the navbar anymore.

You can't remove the overlay to get it back? Only thing I'm using on mine is substratum to theme what I need to.

How to make Navigation Bar stay on permanently?

hi everyone. is there a way to keep the Navigation Bar on S10 from hiding itself in apps like Snapchat and just make the bar be visible permanently? Ideally would like to reduce the screen size to end at the Nav Bar top border and not having a Nav Bar as overlay, if that makes sense. thanks!

i have Nova installed. i was unable to find an option for that. i did find a somewhat of a work around and that was by installing Good Lock app from galaxy apps and then adding on a One Hand Operation+ extension to it. i can swipe from the edge side and have nav buttons pop up that i can sticky. its not the best solution, but it works. kinda disappointed that for a $900 phone you can't customize it.. AND they removed led notification lights.. wtf
