No systems files modifications, no reboot.
I have Nexus 7 and tested it. Now I want to test the technology on more devices. Please, help me. you will find development version and more details here:

I'm sure you can just add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" in the build.prop to do this?

Then you need to reboot device and if you mess up build.prop permissions you will get boot loop. This app will allow to hide/restore navigation bar on the fly and risk free

I have installed the all bit it isn't work. It Makes another bar on the one present net.

Your device is rooted right? Metallijim in Nexus 4 thread confirmed that it works on Xperia Z and added screenshot too. Did you try version 'without.detection' ?

I have stock rom with root.. I have installed the apk and granted superuser permission but it doesn't work

It works for my phone, it would be perfect if the red trigger line turns transparent. Great works.

It's works but what does "touch" trigger mode?

Works perfect on KA07

the application launched, but in the application when i touch the menu button "...", my phone crash and reboot.

Tried the app on my ZL. The auto-hiding works and the replacement reacts, but it is rather small, like the status bar. Allowing to change the dpi of the replacement would be appreciated.

I released new update and now you can adjust bar size.

The PlayStore says it is not compatible with the Xperia ZL.

I only enable tested devices. Enabled ZL now and it should be available in a few hours, when Play Store update its cache.

Still not available, maybe you have to enable the model c6503?

Thanks alot, this is excellent, going to buy pro if I don't exeperience any weird fc's or other issues

The app works great and I like it!! Only some minor issues:
-When you change to full screen the wallpaper sometimes change to the original (known issue).
-When reboot sometimes the notification bar disappear for a minute or less.
-When you hide soft keys or show soft keys the percent battery on the status bar disappear.
Thank you

These are a bit tricky to fix, but I'm researching it. I hope to improve Quick NavBar enough that you won't need turn on/off stock soft keys often. I added Google Now button in latest dev version release.

Could you add the possibility to change the softkey distance and the possibility to change the softkey's png in the future release?...maybe only for pro. Fantastic work

GMD Gesture Control

Hi,
did anyone try if GMD Gesture Control is working on the XZ? Installed it a few minutes ago, but gestures are not working, even the back key from the nav bar gets quiet unresponsible.

I've try it, not working as good as on the tablet. I will not recommend it on the Z ( or any smartphone), on the tablet it is a must have!

Found the solution. You have to set the parser manually to ICS default.
Will try to get used to the tablet gestures. The ones for phones get activated be accident :silly:

You may need to scroll down a little bit

after i installed it,my battery drops from 100% to 90% in 30 minutes without doing anything =.=

Try a reboot. I don't have any drain caused by the app

For my xperia z works very very well

[MOD] Smaller navigation bar [VZW]

** Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. Proceed at your own risk. I am not liable or responsible for anything. **
** Disclaimer 2: I don't own a Verizon G2, so while I know my tweaks work on AT&T and I made the same ones against Verizon framework files for these, I currently have no guarantee they work. **
Description:
I like my screen real-estate. Going from S4 -> G2 I was sad that despite the larger screen, I had *less* real estate because of the on-screen soft keys.
I know a lot of you use GMB Hide Soft Keys and it is a great app, however, I personally prefer to have an always-on, always-available set of navigation keys.
Enter this mod. It shrinks the nav bar down considerably, increasing screen real estate.
Notes:
Screenshots attached
Tested conceptually against similar tweaks made on AT&T LG G2

Thank you for taking the time to make this mod for the Verizon model.
Sent from Verizon logo plastered G2 bastard

Awesome! And works with the black bar, and recent mods!

That's awesome, I'm finally satisfied with the G2's screen. Thank you very much. :good:

Do you think this will work on tmobile version?

This looks great! Thank you.
Is there a way to hide the status bar at the top? Since we have the pulldown menu button I would like to hide the status bar entirely and free up that real estate.

thanks dude, works well! and confirmed it works with the black status bar mod

does not work, I have a bootloop brick with no adb sup[port and cant boot recovery...
OK
1. Turn device off by holding power key down until bootloop stops.
2. Hold power, down volume and where the home key would be.
3. choose yes factory reset, should take you back to recovery....

I know for a fact that this will not work on T-Mobile directly, the same tweak will, but it would have to be T-Mobile's file version.
You should be able to garner ADB access from the LG splash boot screen by holding Vol Down on boot, it won't go into recovery but it will lock up on the LG logo and should be recognized by your comp, at least it worked for me during testing.
Get a T-Mobile owner to send you framework-res.apk from /system/framework and replace yours and you should be good to go.

I'm actually using Nova Launcher, it has a few different Folder display options. You'll lose the ability to double-tap-screen-off on the homescreen, but you can still double-tap-screen-off on the status bar up top at any time to get the same result.

Does flashing this mod take the message quick reply away? When I installed the gmd app the other day I lost the quick reply no matter what I did. Can anyone confirm it still has pop up

It shouldn't affect quick reply in any way. It is a relatively simple and unintrusive tweak, affecting a separate class file than what is involved with quick reply.
I don't know enough about how GMD works, but I know it is still quasi-beta and people can sometimes have weird interactions with untested UIs.
Cheers.

Thanks for that tidbit. I have actually been using Tasker to do it with Nova, but for people that don't have Tasker yet, and it's good to have options.

This worked great. It really makes a big difference.
Thank you

My Verizon G2 is rooted and has the OTA 11B software, so I haven't tried to get TWRP installed yet.
Is there any way to install one of these smaller navigation bars without flashing the zip via TWPR?
I tried the APK (renamed with as .apk), but they would not install.

If you're already using xposed, install Gravity Box and assign the power menu function to one of the buttons you already have. No need to mod the systemUI.apk.

I've tried but there seems to be a problem with the gravity box, everytime I enable the module, I have 2 battery icon in the notification area, one stock and one big white empty bar, when I chose to untick it is gone but when I tick some box and reboot my phone, it'll come back again. and I found the power button thing but when I did it, the ratio of 5 button is incorrect, the home button is not in the middle anymore,
now I disabled the module and everything came back to normal.
any suggestion?

First of all, if you have two battery icons, then you're most likely using two different modules that alter the battery icon (maybe Xblast, or alike). Secondly, you don't need to enable the status bar/battery icon setting in GB, you can just disable it; all it does is change the icon, not add anything, so like I said, if you have two icons, you've got some other module interfering. And I'm pretty sure you don't need to enable the navigation bar features in order to use the Navigation Key actions settings. Check out my attached screenshots.

I have GEM xperia xposed, Xperia/AOSP Navbar bttons/Xperia xposed, these 3 modules are the ones I enabled. If I disable Xperia/Navbar module and use gravitybox Can I make 5 buttons?
and about the battery icons, I have no idea which module is interfering? I don't really mess up with those in notification bar.
Thank you

With Gravity Box you can have a Menu, Back, Recent, Home, and Custom button navigation bar; that would make five buttons. When I used that specific feature they were never messed up. I don't know how heavily modified your SystemUI or framework is, but all those modules you're using modify the SystemUI, so what I would do is disable those and then enable Gravity Box and see if you get the same two battery icons.
I don't think you'd need to disable any modules, you just need to know which features of which modules change what.
For instance, I'm using Gravity Box, which can change the battery, but I like using the Circle with Text Percentage battery icon, and the one in Gravity Box looks a bit off to me, so I leave that option on stock, and installed Xbattery Themer to change the battery icon, which appears as can be seen in my previous screenshots.
Previously, before modding my own framework, I used to even use Xblast and Gravity Box at the same time (and sometimes still do). They both have similar features, but I don't use the same features of both modules at once.

Any way to use 3rd party app for gestures?

Hi!
I just upgraded to android 11. On Android 10 I used Vivid NG for gestures but because overscan has been disabled on Android 11 it's not working.
Has anyone found a way to get around it? I want to keep using gestures but I don't care for goggles side swipe too go back - it interferes too much with the apps I use

If I change to 3 button the navbar is still visible both in immersive and fullscreen. Also chrome keeps closing a few seconds after opening. I guess I'll just have to do with google's gestures for now ?

In my thread I have a mod available via substratum to remove/hide 3 button navigation bar. You just need to have a 3rd party gestures app already setup before enabling the overlay. If you don't care to mod the pixel launcher (the purpose of my mod), then just install the apk in the second post and just build the top overlay. The last post on the thread has a picture showing what it is.

I've always had issues with the regular substratum in Android 10 and have since been using Substratum Lite. That's what I recommend my users to use. Give substratum lite a try.
