I have Twilight and CF.lumen running at the same time. Screen is dark enough but the navigation buttons are still very bright. CF.lumen makes them a bit less white but no dimming. Any ideas how to dim or hide these buttons?
GravityBox has a very convenient expanded desktop feature, but I don't know if you've got xposed or if you're willing to install it.

Not without root. It's an Android security measure from Google.
Thanks guys. I have installed xposed and I am now able to hide the navbar.

I had seen a friends Samsung Vibrant and he showed me how you can actually raise and lower the brightness settings of the phone by holding your finger on the status bar for a second and then swiping either left or right on it to adjust the brightness levels.
Just a cool feature if anybody is interested in investigating it.
Thanks,

I've seen this in action and it's pretty cool. Wonder if it's hiding in an .apk somewhere....
As far as I know, its in the framework Part and @kmobs tried it but needs help with the linear layout ...
Any application?
Is there any application with this feature? To change screen brightness INTO the status bar.
Any one can create such application?

You could
There are ROMs with brightness controls in the notifications.. Open Notification bar, tap the icon.. Has various options from Auto/30/100 all the way up to like 5 or so options. I tend to leave mine on Auto except when I'm using the phone as a car GPS in which case I need it brighter, and I let Tasker do that for me.
Hello,
Do someone know how to remove the menu bar at the bottom of the screen? I mean the bar with the 'home' , 'back', and 'windows' icons. It takes a lot of space and makes the screen look a lot smaller than 5".
Help?

Are you being serious?
So how do you plan to navigate around your phone, they are nav keys for your phone, they are there because there are no hardware ones, without them you phone is pretty much useless to use.
You can buy apps of playstore which hide the keys I have used GMD auto hide soft keys there is a free one to try the paid version has quite a few more settings, there are ROM's that have smaller keys
root, install xposed module and then set navigation bar to 0
Then you can use gravity box with pie controls
Lol, of course not that way. I meant that i wanted to hide the bar in some kind of way. Do you think they will make it less visible in their future updates. Especially when Iæm watching a movie its quite annoying. If they are not going to fix it, they shouldn't say that the screen is 5". It takes a lot of the user experience away. In addition the Z1's screen is way smaller than the G2, if the bar cannot be invisible of some sort.
Do you think this will be fixed in the future updates?
You can remove nav bar like Greg just said and install app from app store...
MARKET LINK
This app will hide navigation bar when you don't need it or just want to make it smaller...

You can also use LMT as a replacement for the nav bar

Like someone just said using xposed installer with gravity box you can reduce the size of the navbar, but you will need root.
There is also an app called fullscreen in the play store that allows you to get rid of it and have icons in the corners of your screen instead.

Just installed 4.3 and root, but cant get rid of the sony nav bar using my usual method (fullscreen toggle app).
is this a 4.3 related issue? full screen toggle requested root permissions when i launched it, but when i select disable nav bar and reboot, the sony nav bar is still present? Anyone any ideas?
I much prefer button saviour for nav buttons, so i maximise screen real estate and swipe to access nav buttons
half the notification panel is unusable. unless im missing something there appears to be no way to remove the brightness slider. i know it was a setting on my note3. also cant find a way to remove the stupid s-finder and quick connect buttons. please tell me im missing a setting somewhere for these. they are a giant waste of space.

That's correct. There is no way to remove it unless you do some modding. Stupid move they took out that option. What were the DA's thinking!?
It's not a solution, but when using Lux Brightness to control auto-brightness, it has a module show up in the notifications pull-down. It did remove the stock slider, though I haven't gained any space.
However I do prefer Lux when it comes to brightness control (set to Dynamic) and their module at least is more informative than the stock one.
I'm also not sure if the phone can go into the overbright mode any longer but I've never had outdoor visibility issues.
I was actually able to get rid of it without modding by installing Lux Auto Brightness & using it to manage my brightness. Once I set it up the Samsung one in the notification panel disappeared. Also, with Lux, you can have it set to not show in the notification panel, which is what I've done.
If you root and install xposed framework, you can disable the S planner portion, but no luck with brightness yet.
Which module or option under xposed framework did you use to get rid of the s finder and quick connect?
Thanks

Download wanam xposed from play store. Then it's in notifications.
Here is the option. Among many.
For some reason i dont see that option for my wanam xposed
....
Sorry figured it out. I installed wanam from xposed itself. Need to go to the playstore and upgrade the program from there.
He's right. Installing LUX does remove the stock brightness bar but the thing is, the LUX bar isn't all that pretty either...

In the Lux settings you can disable their bar once it's there.
Do we have any way to make the nav bar smaller yet ? It's so big and takes up so much screen retail!
If you're not rooted and don't plan to do it, you can download GMD Immersive from the Play Store for free. With that app, you can hide the navbar and/or the notification bar. Upgrading to the Pro version (through an in-app purchase) lets you set Immersive mode for each app individually. There's still some bugs to be worked out for Lollipop, but it's almost perfect on KitKat.
I think GMD some apps for root, too, that might be useful for you. Just search "GMD" in the play store.
Appreciate the response. I downloaded it but it requires root. So I can not use it unfortunately
GMD Immersive? I'm completely unrooted and I'm using it as we speak...
I'm hoping the designers will shrink it in upcoming versions of android. Considering the notification bar up top is shorter than it used to be, it really looks off balance with super-tall nav bar.
I used to always shrink it to match the notification bar height with xposed.
(Tried searching but couldn't find anything relevant)
I like the navigation gestures implementation by OP, specially with 9.0.5 update where the gestures are much more responsive and reliable. But I miss the force screen rotation button that appears when using the actual Pie style navigation buttons. What are your thoughts on the pros and cons of navigation gestures vs buttons with respect to force rotation feature of Pie. Are you guys using some third party app to fill in this missing feature?
I would have retained to using the Pie style buttons, but the unreliability of the color and transparency of the buttons (with respect to major color of the app) just pisses me off. More than 50% of the time, just the navigation buttons would be of a contrasting color. Sometimes they would be transparent for some apps, while solid for others. Moreover, I hate the humongous height of that bar. It could easily loose another 10+ pixels of screen real estate.
