The recents button always displays "no recent activity" after I installed apex. There doesnt seem to be a way to access recently used cached apps.Id like to see what apps are running in the background.
Any way to fix this?
edit: I was searching too specifically, I see the thread about this issue now. Looks like my only option is to use a custom task switcher.
ecent apps shortcuts just opens the the stock menu.
I use Fullscreen+ to disable stock nav and notification bar
It provide nav button, recents app and mini notification bar
I've been happily using a Nook Color for over two years running CM7.
But when B&N reduced the price of a new 16GB Nook HD to $150, I couldn't resist.... I grabbed one.
Haven't even had it for 18hrs and its running CM10.1 in EMMC (thanks to verygreen's fantastic skills and files)
Now I'm trying to get moved in and get it configured like CM7 was in the Nook Color.
1: In the CM7 system tweaks, there was a setting to allow apps to run full screen on request. I can't find anything like that in CM10. I tried the FullScreen app from the Play Store, but all it does is run full screen all the time or not at all. I want the status and navigation bars to show when not in a full screen app. Any suggestions???
2. Having a problem with wallpapers.... I can choose and set to any preloaded wallpaper that came with CM10. But when I try to use a downloaded wallpaper JPG from the Gallery, the wallpaper setup goes normally, but won't change the wallpaper after tapping Set Wallpaper. ???????
3. I managed to get a Power Control widget stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. Press and hold to move or remove it doesn't work. Help!!
4. Navigation Bar: This thing is a total mess compared to CM7. I had full control over which buttons showed in CM7. Now it appears I can't do anything with it. The home button is a useless duplicate of the Nook button. And personally I have never had any use for the Recent Apps button. But in CM10, I can't turn them off!!! All I really need in the navigation bar is Menu and Back (which is all I used for two years in my Nook Color). And I don't even need them. There's a navigation app called Button Savior that I absolutely love. When not in use, its just a little tab on the side of the screen... tap the tab and a full navigation menu shows in its place. And its totally customizable. What can I do to get rid of the Home and Recent buttons in the navigation bar.... or barring that, how do I turn off the navigation bar??????
I really liked CM7 because of all the nifty tweaks it had.... where did they all go????????????
Forget about number three... the widget went away on its own somehow.

Have you tried using expanded desktop and pie controls? If not, you may find it does pretty much what you're looking for with both #1 and 4.
Go to settings --> system and tap on "expanded desktop." When enabled, you can hold in the power button, and one of the options will let you toggle expanded desktop on and off, which allows you to get rid of the navigation bar entirely whenever you want.
Also in settings --> system at the very bottom, you can enable Pie controls. When enabled, you can tap the bottom of the screen to bring up the navigation bar controls.
I don't know if there's a way to enable or disable expanded desktop automatically depending on the app in CM 10.1. I don't use the option myself, so I'm just not aware. Maybe with Tasker or something?
If you just want to get rid of buttons in the navigation bar, that's also under settings-->system. Tap "buttons and layout," and you can add or remove whatever buttons you want, including a menu button.
Hopefully that answers at least some of your issues, and I wasn't just telling you stuff you already know.
About #2 (setting wallpaper):
I found that changing wallpaper in landscape mode --> it won't stay.
But doing the same thing in portrait mode --> working fine.
I think this is a small bug in verygreen's CM10.1 (don't see this in other devices running CM10.1).
Hiding the Navigation Bar
Thanks for your help Dan...
I looked up both "expanded desktop" and "pie controls" and then played with them.
The expanded desktop only deals with the status bar and that's not a problem in the apps I want to use full screen.
Those apps do hide the status bar but not the navigation bar.
I don't need the pie controls because the Button Savior app does the same thing... and is much easier to use IMHO.
I finally figured out the interface for Buttons and Layout.... I don't find that setup intuitive at all... but I did manage to beat it into displaying just the Menu and Back buttons, the way I like it.
So I still need to find some way for full screen apps to hide the navigation bar.
I really liked the old way it was done in CM7: There was no separate navigation bar. Navigation buttons were in the status bar. And the status bar could be placed either at the top or bottom of the screen. I had the status bar at the bottom with just the Back and Menu buttons in it. I'd love to find some way to make CM10.1 work that way.
After living with the Nook HD for another day, I see that some apps do go full screen and hide the Navigation bar... both YouTube and MX Video Player do this. But the one app I use for reading PDF eBooks, RepliGo Reader, won't go full screen and hide the Navigation bar. My secondary reader app, Aldiko, hides the navigation buttons, but not the navigation bar.... strange. I guess I'll talk to Cerience about RepliGo Reader under Jelly Bean.
hyperxguy... re: wallpapers: I've been doing all my attempts to change wallpaper in portrait mode... sigh
Had anyone out there set wallpaper from a Gallery file successfully???
Is there some special place I need to put my wallpaper JPGs in???
Right now they're just sitting in /mnt/sdcard/download/

Expanded desktop definitely gets rid of the navigation bar. If you choose to enable it, it will give you options that say "status bar visible" or "status bar hidden." But with either of those options, it will get rid of the navigation bar.
I agree that these functions are implemented in a non-intuitive way. It seems like there should be easier ways of configuring it.
I'm not aware of any ways to do the more involved things you're talking about, like moving the status bar down with the nav bar. There are other ROMs out there that allow more fine grained control (Paranoid Android is especially popular), but I don't think they're available for the Nook. If you want more customizability, you might be better off with a tablet like the Nexus 7, which is not much more expensive and has more development support.
I'm sorry Dan, but I can only go by what I see.
With expanded desktop set to either hide or show the status bar, the navigation bar will not go away when running either RepliGo Reader or Aldiko Reader.
I would be totally happy if it did.
I'm running CyangenMod v10.1-20130615-UNOFFICAL-hummingbird
That's what was in the EMMC instructions I used.
Is there a more stable version I can load up????
Maybe backing down a build or two would get rid of all my problems.
I think this goes back to the user-unfriendliness of the way CyanogenMod implements certain things. To get rid of the nav bar, there are two steps involved. First, you have to go to settings-->system, and choose Expanded Desktop, either with status bar visible or hidden.
But all that does is enable the option to turn the nav bar on and off. To actually turn it on and off, you have to hold down the power button to bring up the power menu. If Expanded Desktop is enabled, you should see an option for "Expanded desktop." Tapping on it turns the nav bar on and off.
I tried to say that in my first post, but it's a complicated process, and it's not easy to describe.
Also, in an earlier post you mentioned something about wanting the status bar at the bottom of the screen. I didn't really understand what you were talking about with that, but it may be TabletUI, which Google used to put on large tablets but then discontinued. There's a mod where you can install it for the Nook: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275939
I haven't tried it, so I don't know how stable it is. But it may be worth trying if you like the look of the screenshot on the page I just linked to.
IT WORKS!!!!!!
Thanks, Dan!!!!!
I never noticed the Expanded Desktop option in the Power Menu... in the week I've had the HD I've almost never used it.
My apps are now running full screen and I don't miss the navigation bar at all... Button Savior takes its place.
Status bar on top or bottom was in the CyanogenMod Tweaks settings in CM7 as was adding navigation buttons to the status bar.
I don't really need it here at all as all my navigation is handled by Button Savior.
I have a new question about pixel density... for you or for anyone out there.
I learned in CM7 that pixel density had to be set to either 420 or 69 for Google Play Store compatibility.
Use any other pixel density, and it was very difficult to get new apps or app updates.
And a setting of 420 was perfect for my Nook Color with its 1024x600 screen.
Now, on the Nook HD, the default setting is 420 for the 1440x900 screen.
This leaves a number of things a little too small for me... especially the status bar and other text.
Does anyone know a larger density number I can use that is compatible with the Play Store????
density
Wow... I sure didn't remember this correctly.
160 was the original setting on my Nook Color and 240 was what I used to make things the correct size on screen.
Now 240 is the original setting on my Nook HD and I've found that 320 is the Play Store compatible setting to make things larger on screen.
I am not totally happy with my CyanogenMod Nook HD... everything is working perfectly!!
I'm glad the full screen is working for you. I don't know anything about the pixel density, unfortunately. I've only had the Nook for about a week myself, and I haven't run into any app compatibility issues that would make me start messing around with that.

How are you now not happy with perfection?
Stupid fingers
Damn dyslexic fingers.... NOW.... I am NOW totally happy with my Nook.
pixel density
The reason I had to mess with pixel density is because I don't like the stock Trebuchet launcher app.
I started out almost three years ago with the Zeam launcher app and I got used to its simplicity and gestures.
But Zeam adheres to the pixel density in build.prop and the icons are too small.
When running Trebuchet, the icons are ok, but widgets and things in the status bar are too tiny at stock density of 240.
Then, running Zeam, everything is too small at stock density.
But with the density set to 320, everything is just right.
You might try Nova or Apex launchers. Both have lots of customizability with gestures, though you may have to pay for the full version to get all the options. I'm not sure if they deal with the dpi issue.
It's too bad there's not a Nook HD port for the Paranoid Android ROM, which allows you to customize the dpi separately for every app you have. If it ever becomes available, you might want to try it out.
i am running Stock up including clock face but with NULL_18 as base for extra benefits.
how can i quickly see the battery status like what i see when i plug it in?
currently i have to go to Settings > Battery which is not quick and easy.
i had used the Watch Style app where you can get faces with battery but it seemed to use more battery and i like Stock look.
thanks for any suggestions.

When I double-tap, the status bar shows up. The problem is now when I load a full-screen app, the status bar is always there at the top. How do I go back to hiding the status bar at all times?

Are you looking for a setting to switch back to the original tw launcher or for use in the nova launcher? To set touch whizz as the default launcher just go to nova settings and it's the first option, select touch whizz, switch the screen of and use the twisting arm wake gesture to select home. If you're looking at changing the nova settings it might be an idea to reflash null and not check full ui in the aroma options. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. It's a bit late here and I'm a bit frazzled

I'm in the TouchWiz launcher / shell, which is nice. No issue there. My problem is I two-finger tapped or double-tapped the screen to try gestures, and the status bar appeared at the top, showing the battery %, time, Bluetooth icon, etc. I now have no way to make this status bar disappear at the top. For example, I see it when I'm in Settings, or in the root browser, or any custom app.
It seems the two-finger tap toggled it on, but there is no way to toggle it off. Where is the setting to turn it off?

That's not the two finger toggle. The two finger toggle on stock or null without full system ui is a shortcut to brightness/volume and battery screen. Sounds like you've selected full system ui in the aroma settings. I can't see any options to switch off the status bar in apps. You can turn it off on the nova launcher with nova settings but that doesn't apply to apps. You can try flashing the Rom again and uncheck the full status ui and see if the status bar is still present in third party apps or you can download another third party app to control things like the status bar in apps. There's a list of third party apps you could use in the help sticky null_/free falling theme..... It's under notifications icons/soft buttons
Hi,
I'm searching how to enable the navigation bar (3-Buttons at the bottom of the screen) on this phone. I'm missing "double tab to switch between latest apps" so much...
I already tried adb overscan command, does not work. Any other solutions?
Seems like UI doesn't allow on P.
I miss it too so what I've done is downloaded my preferred launcher.
I've tried a few but none seem to be doing the trick. You can also try downloading a 3 button navigation app but I really hate ads and it's almost impossible to find one without them.
Lastly, I'd highly recommend XDA's very own Navigation Gestures (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/official-xda-navigation-gestures-iphone-t3792361). You can edit it to see what works for you.
Hi,
I know this is a topic that has come a few times. I've been researching this for hours, but I'm at my end's wits. If anyone can solve it, I'd be grateful!
Phone: Redmi Note 10 Pro
My setup: NOVA LAUNCHER
MIUI: 12.5.8
Android 11
FNG app (Fluid Navigation Gestures)
My goal: to have navigation gestures with Nova Launcher without the bottom Android Nav Bar
I am aware that since Android 11, they've blocked the usage of system gestures when using custom launchers (why they did that, I still don't understand, but that's irrelevant.) Up until last night when MIUI updated itself automatically, my current config was working:
NOVA + FNG + switch system settings from BUTTONS to GESTURES.
This was working fine: in the phone settings switching to "GESTURES" would hide the bottom navigation button bar, and FNG would be activating the gestures in place of the system.
But last night's MIUI update now increased the level of difficulty. It is now impossible in the phone settings to select GESTURES when a custom launcher is active. When NOVA is the selected default launcher, tapping on GESTURES in system settings gives this message: "Can't use full screen gestures with third party launchers. Switch to the system launcher and turn on full screen gestures?". Tapping OK will disable NOVA and activate full screen gestures.
So, I'm now stuck with BUTTONS NAV BAR, which not only takes real estate space on the screen, but is just damn annoying.
I have tried using ABD command I found in another thread to hide the Buttons Nav Bar:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
But this does not work. I rebooted and all, but buttons are still there.
I do not wish to root the phone because I have never done it in the past, and somehow I fear it would introduce security issues. So I'm desperately trying to find another solution to hide the buttons nav bar.
Any idea?
I have to say, I really do not understand why they are forcing people to use stock launcher with gestures. Why is it a problem that custom launchers use system gestures in the first place? One reason I always enjoyed Android over iPhone is the fact that the system was more open compared to Apple who always made their system so closed and contrived. But I have to say that lately, I have found Android to be more and more annoying when it comes to customization.

nope. it doesnt work.

In my opinion root it and try other ROMs also miui, if you like, you can use it, but with more personally control. Security problem with root?! Only if you allow it....or if you root without read about some hours.

I think so too... Because like i explained in my original message I normally was able to hide the nav bar by simply choosing "gestures" in the phone settings, but then one update happened and it became impossible to use that trick anymore. Since then, I have tried ABD command with FNG gesture app and that didn't work either. And now ABD command did not work with Vivid App.
So strange that they make it so hard to use gestures and hide nav bar when we use a third party launcher. Why don't they want us to use a third party launcher? It's the whole point of Android to be able to customize it... This is pretty crazy.

Hide navigation buttons, no MIUI gestures.
If you use something like Piecontrol, Gesture Control or any other app to navigate your phone you might want to disable the navigation buttons. As /system can't be rw mounted we can't edit "build.prop" 1. Magisk, install "MagiskHide Props...

Hi,
I know this is a topic that has come a few times. I've been researching this for hours, but I'm at my end's wits. If anyone can solve it, I'd be grateful!
Phone: Redmi Note 10 Pro
My setup: NOVA LAUNCHER
MIUI: 12.5.8
Android 11
FNG app (Fluid Navigation Gestures)
My goal: to have navigation gestures with Nova Launcher without the bottom Android Nav Bar
I am aware that since Android 11, they've blocked the usage of system gestures when using custom launchers (why they did that, I still don't understand, but that's irrelevant.) Up until last night when MIUI updated itself automatically, my current config was working:
NOVA + FNG + switch system settings from BUTTONS to GESTURES.
This was working fine: in the phone settings switching to "GESTURES" would hide the bottom navigation button bar, and FNG would be activating the gestures in place of the system.
But last night's MIUI update now increased the level of difficulty. It is now impossible in the phone settings to select GESTURES when a custom launcher is active. When NOVA is the selected default launcher, tapping on GESTURES in system settings gives this message: "Can't use full screen gestures with third party launchers. Switch to the system launcher and turn on full screen gestures?". Tapping OK will disable NOVA and activate full screen gestures.
So, I'm now stuck with BUTTONS NAV BAR, which not only takes real estate space on the screen, but is just damn annoying.
I have tried using ABD command I found in another thread to hide the Buttons Nav Bar:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
But this does not work. I rebooted and all, but buttons are still there.
I do not wish to root the phone because I have never done it in the past, and somehow I fear it would introduce security issues. So I'm desperately trying to find another solution to hide the buttons nav bar.
Any idea?
I have to say, I really do not understand why they are forcing people to use stock launcher with gestures. Why is it a problem that custom launchers use system gestures in the first place? One reason I always enjoyed Android over iPhone is the fact that the system was more open compared to Apple who always made their system so closed and contrived. But I have to say that lately, I have found Android to be more and more annoying when it comes to customization.

Hi, this helped me: by simply installing this zip in TWRP => TWRP_Hide_Navigation_Bar_v1.0.zip
INFO: Installing the zip again will unhide the navigation bar (revert the change).
EDIT: My zip (to install in TWRP) doesn't work for devices shipped with Android 10(+). Workaround: Magisk! Install Magisk and this Magisk module => Hide_Navigation_Bar_v1.0-Magisk.zip
.., but to another phone (Redmi T9 Pro) Miui 12.5.6
