[Q] Nexus 6 Softkeys - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys is there any way to get a lg g3-like Notification dropdown softkey ?? Really appreciate the answer !

Some Custom ROMs have this feature.

There are a few ways you can approach this.
If you are rooted, I imagine there are Xposed modules that can offer this. I am guessing here, as I don't know of one. GravityBox perhaps.
There are probably some apps that can accomplish this, maybe one of the navbar replacements. These likely require root as well.
There are some custom ROMs that offer more options for adding/customizing the navbar buttons, which was mentioned above.
Not exactly what you are asking, but you can probably put it on the navring as well with one of the above also (Xposed, app, or custom ROM).

Trickdroid (Bugs, Request and etc)

Well, I'm just starting this thread cause I cant post in the One Android Dev forum. How do I even get access to post replies in threads there? How do I report bugs and have requests or questions answered? Kernel options was removed as they dont work on the new base, there is an option to have the back button to double as the menu. But why was the dock transparency option removed as well? Is there a problem with it too? Will there be a fix for it?
You need 10 post in Q&A or general section.
After 10 post you can post everywhere.
However, there is a FAQpost in trickdroid thread.
For kernel, custom kernel will work on new base.
The option for back button there is if you, during aroma installation, have choose remove 3-dot menù.
You can do trasparent the dock with a modded zip.

Yea....the back button is not much of a problem for me. But can you point the direction for the transparent dock. I'm tryina make my own custom lockring. I succeeded on my one X, so i'm gonna try on the one too. 10 posts?! Alright then...
Find it hard picking up calls as I have to key in my pin before i'm able to answer. Is there a way to get pass that? I'm using the aosp lockscreen. Does that affect how I answer calls?

That's what happens when you go aosp lockscreen on a sense Rom. I know some custom roms on my old phones had a fix for it. I'd just go back to sense lockscreen if I were you. In my opinion it looks awesome compared to aosp.

Would it make a diff if I checked the box to disable exchange security? I had configured my work email exchange and it prompted the pin is needed. Its a hassle not being able to see who's calling and having to swipe and enter the pin first. I liked the AOSP cause I like to make my own custom lockring.

[REQ] Android Navigation Buttons - Tweaked and Customized

Hello!
I know there are some Threads about it already.
I've been searching the web (and xda) about hiding those Nexus navigation buttons in apps but with no success of what I want.
I have already posted this in Q&A but with no success.
REQUEST:
I want my navigation buttons to be ACTIVE on some apps, while I want those button to hide on the other apps with !!POSSIBILITY!! to activate them (indefinite, not only for some seconds) and deactivate when needed.
I don't want them to appear "above" everything like some apps and ways to do this offer. I want it stock, the way android 4.4 does this (eg. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...go-truly-full-screen-hide-the-navigation-bar/)
With the latter I meant when on Home Screen - there should be transparent Button Bar (like stock 4.4) Not like apps that only offer full black ​
Do you think it is possible? Or maybe modified ROM could offer tweaked and improved android 4.4 "Full-screen Immersive mode" HERE.

Well considering the rom scene has yet to start up for cm or any other rom for that matter, I wouldn't hold your breath. I am sure it is possible, but I don't know if someone will make it, seeing as there isn't a huge demand for this. Roms like AOKP have features like autohide nav bar and swipe up to reveal but nobody has what you want (that I know of) and I don't think it will happen.

Maybe you are right, but still I hope for a solution that would extend that Immersive mode to all apps.
I already found a similar solution app called Full!Screen. It does almost what I want with one exception - I want it to activate with a Gesture - Like swipe down with 2 fingers? and deactivate with swipe up from the bottom
I don't like any notification bar toggles
Maybe I can get it to work

Phone customization question

I was wondering since Xposed is not yet available for Nougat, how do you guys apply customization like long-press to skip songs, add options to power menu etc?
I know some ROMS have build in options but I would like to know if there are Apps for customizing Stock ROM.

From my knowledge you aren't able to do this kind of things with one app.
Maybe you have to add them manually with root rights

Lollipop & Gravity Box - Two Quick Setting Tiles not being removed

Lollipop 5.10
Wiko Highwar Star (phone)
Hi guys, hope you can please steer me in the right direction. Am late to the Lollipop party (just upgraded my phone finally to LP 5.10 from KK 4.4.4), and I immediately noticed that my phone has a very bad Quick Settings tiles (the ones that display pulling down up top on the Notification Bar). By bad I mean no flashlight tile and a whole bunch of other tiles that serve me no purpose.
So I rooted the phone, installed custom bootloader, installed Xposed, all for the purpose of installing Gravity Box so to hopefully tailor my Quick Settings to my needs. But unfortunately it seems I am only half successful because I still have two tiles displaying (Smart Standby & W Mode - don't even know what they do) that I can't make disappear using Gravity Box because they are not listed under its settings for Quick Settings Tiles so to uncheck them to make them disappear. I had thought that Gravity Box would only display those tiles that I have checked in its options, but that does not seem to be the case as I have those last two system stock tiles still displaying. So help please... is there a way that I haven't figured out yet in Gravity Box to make these last two tiles disappear even though their names are not in its options to uncheck?
If not, is there a way to make all my Quick Settings Tiles disappear and then use some other Xposed module (or app) to add only the ones I want back in?
Oh I guess I should mention that this phone has no stock option, none whatsover, to alter the Quick Settings Tiles which is why I was resorted to installing Xposed.. Even tapping or long pressing the main Settings button didn't bring up any way to alter the quick settings tiles.
Cheers guys for some guidance
@andyxo, could you specify the Lollipop ROM you're using. GravityBox is designed for mostly vanilla/plain AOSP ROMs. Depending on your ROM GB may or may not be able to do all that you want as stated in the module's various threads.
Maybe copy and paste your post in the GravityBox Lollipop thread. Don't forget to mention your ROM.

Hi, thanks for your post... the ROM is the one that came with my phone (Wiko Highway Star). Ya, I figured that Gravity Box has that limitation but am hoping someone could provide an alternate solution (besides Gravity Box) to getting rid of those last two pesky stock Quick Setting tiles. Such as a different module to totally remove all Lollipop Quick Setting tiles (I don't see such an option in Gravity Box, darn!) , then I could just find an app to add in the ones I want. Or some other solution, one that I haven't thought of yet
So haven't had any luck yet in totally removing all Quick Settings from Lollipop 5.10. I found a 5.0 version of SystemUI Tuner but that didn't do it. Tried various Xposed modules for other phones with the hopes of making it work but nope....
So Lollipop has been around for a long time... am really surprised that there is no Xposed module (or at least one that I have found) that can actually remove all Quick Settings what with all the coders and modders populating the world. If even just for a plain jane Lollipop android that I could try. What am I missing here?
Edit: So it seems I solved my first world problem using an app called Custom Quick Settings. For some reason this app had exactly the two pesky stock toggles I needed to remove from my Quick Settings tiles: Slip cover removed W mode and Smartstandby removed Smart Standby (go figure). For some reason (got lucky) Custom Quick Settings had these toggles turn-off-able while Grav Box doesn't. So am using both apps at the same time because Grav Box has more options relating to Quick Settings while just using Custom Quick Settings to remove those two peskies. So far they are playing well together.... posting this just in case may help someone
Nice find @andyxo. ?
I'll keep that app in mind if I ever come across some stubborn tiles that GravityBox can't handle.

Is there a magisk mod or other root app that adds these specific navbar functionalities?

1. Being able to longpress on multitask to switch back and forth, without needing to double tap it.
2. Being able to longpress on back to kill the in-focus app.
I know I had this functionality with some sort of mod a few years ago, but I don't remember how. Would prefer if there's a lightweight magisk module or other mod with a small scope rather than some huge framework and/or a mod that has 300 features (some paid) of which only 2 are the ones I mentioned.
The only one that I know of is GravityBox. It has a section about navbar remapping; sure it also has tons of other features that you might not be interested in but wish there would be a newer option to modify the navbar
