I have the latest Paranoid Android on my note7000. I enabled softkeys on the navbar because it gives me the recent apps button which I find far easier than long pressing the physical home button. However now I have two home buttons (a soft and a hard) as well as two back buttons. I was wondering if it was possible to reprogram one of the duplicates. The feature I was thinking would be great for one of these buttons are the toggles (GPS/WiFi/BT, etc). PA already gives me all the toggles I need from the notification bar, but what I don't like about it is that I need to tap twice. The first tap on the status bar brings up notifications and then the 2nd tap brings up the toggles. It would be nice to have this as a single tap. If one of the soft buttons could be programed to bring up wigitzoid or other toggling widget that would do it. Or if there is another equally fast way to bring up these toggles, please let me know. (I prefer not to have to go back to my homescreen to get to the toggles.). Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I was a big fan of Search and Menu buttons on Android 2.3, which were abandoned on later versions.
Is there any way to modify button bar layout and get Search button back and ideally make Menu button permanently visible (like on enclosed picture)?
Or perhaps, is there any way to use AOKP configurable button bar on Xperia T?
Thank you in advance for help.
Since i switched to cm for kfhd7" (many thx @ hashcode!) i miss the hideable navigation bar like i've had on stock rom.
Does anybody knows a way to get this navigation bar working with cm10.1?
The search didn't get a result for me.
thx in advance
Do the following:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap System
3. Check the Expanded Desktop tickbox.
4. Press the Home button.
5. Now, when you hold the power button on the Kindle, in the menu where you shut down or reboot the Kindle there will be an option called Expanded Desktop, activate it.
6. Bye bye navbar!!
7. To reactivate the navbar, hold the power button down and deselect the Expanded Desktop option.
Now you can finally use all the available screen space goodness for apps. If you want to do away with the navbar completely, I'd recommend doing a search for LMT Launcher.
Thank you for the answer.
I think i should describe it a little bit more precise.
The expanded desktop option is no option for me because it's to circuitous to get the navigation bar back.
The best way for me was the way like it implemented in stock rom where i can display the navigation bar only with one slide.
Is there a solution to get this behavior back?
Yes, goto this thread and follow the instructions, if you get stuck let me know and I'll try to guide you.

Ok that's a beginning.
I don't really like the pies but it's better than the static navigation bar.
A pity that there it's seem to be no way to get the old behavior back.
Thank you!
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).
Is there any way to add extra buttons to the nav bar in stock (.283) like you can in AOKP, Carbon, etc.? I don't even need all of them, just the last app button. There are some apps that do this by adding a floating button (LAS), but I want it on my nav bar. UDN doesn't work right, and doesn't let me customize the buttons for some reason. The only other way I've found is to decompile the SystemUI, but I'd rather not do something that risky if there's an alternative. I was on Carbon for a long time and I really loved this feature, but I need the battery life that stock gives. I've found Xposed modules for everything else I'm used to, this is the only thing missing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

use gravity box and add custom key to get it!
:good:
I've tried that, and it's not suitable for several reasons. First off, GB causes layout problems in the recents panel, making the small apps inaccessible. No matter what I toggle, it doesn't go away unless I disable GB. Also, the button appears to the extreme side; I was hoping to get it as a main nav button, like in the custom ROMs.
Looks like I might have to decompile after all. Oh, well. Thanks for your reply, though!
I used this xposed module on sock 4.3 for modify navbar buttons:
Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons
I don't know is it working on 4.4 or not. I am using Carbon at the moment.

This is a known bug in the latest GravityBox version. Download the ”no_translucent_recent” version from this post.

You might not even need a separate button — with GravityBox you can assign actions to the long press of the “Recent Apps” button, and to the long press and double tap of “Back” and “Home” buttons. There is also the “Navigation Bar Ring” feature (you can add more actions than just Google Now).
@kanyazsombor
That module doesn't have a last app button. Thanks anyway!
@sigprof
Long press takes too long, and double tap on anything other than the recent key for a recent app feels... Wrong. Picky, I know, but still. I hadn't thought of using the nav bar ring targets, will try that as soon as I can, and the bug fix you mentioned. Thanks for your help!
