Hi to all
I'm a new owner of a Nexus 7...nice device...BTW...
I don't understand why with a stock JB 4.1.2 ROM, the soft key bar auto hide itself only with the video playback...
if I playgames the bar is always there...
It's a waste of precious pixel for me...in games like shadowgun I always have this ugly bar on bottom...
I know that some cooked ROM has this feature but I'd like to know if I can installa an hack or something to make it avaiable on stock rom...thanks a lot
Oh another question: do you think that it's better to root the device and install a cooked rom like CM or Paranoid? how does it could be better than the stock rom on such a powerful device?
thanks
I don't believe you'd be able to flash a hack to do this because I believe it requires a lot of changes to the framework. Flashing a ROM is great, but not necessary on our tablets since they're so powerful. The only reason why I do it is so that I can get the extended power menu and edit the notification widgets. I also just got back into using tablet mode again on Cookies and Cream.
It won't work, the API for it is designed for videos. If you are playing a game, you will most likely have to tap the screen, whereas when you watch a video, you don't have to touch the screen. Touching the screen enables the soft keys, I think you can see the problem here.
Beamed from my Grouper.
Um take notes from the kindle fire. It has a perfect auto hide for the soft key menus. While in apps, it puts a little tiny tab in the middle edge that when touched, brings back the full keys. Works perfect. This should be implemented in jellybean by default. Wasting screen space is so annoying.
Sounds like a good idea, however it would be a bit different than with video since you are touching the screen. I do find myself bumping the buttons during game playback, perhaps if they instituted a swiping motion to bring it up?
I think in aokp you can completely disable it and use a long press of the power button to access the buttons.

Guys! Just try GMD Gesture from play store and you would be able to hide the soft keys with finger gesture and bring them back when you want them.
Hope this helps!

Just installed the lite version which does not enable this feature. However, it says it will show/hide the status bar... are you sure it works on the soft keys also? I don't want to buy it and find it only works on the status bar. I guess I can also email the app developer and report back.
EDI: Found the XDA thread through the app's play store info... appears to hide the soft keys also. I think it will be well worth the $5. Thanks!
The soft keys are, for me, one of the most annoying 'features' of Jelly Bean. Why waste all that screen space?
There is a reason why nexus 7 is 1280x768 not 1280x720. the additional 48 pixel is for the navigation bar.. Otherwise it won't have16:9 ratio.
I don't mind the nav bar, but I find it wasted space that so few buttons are there. I miss the search button especially... Wish the stock rom was a bit more customizable there. Still, it's a great device overall...

So if you're using your Ouya with a mouse and keyboard the way I do, you have to rely a lot on keyboard shortcuts. But what if you can have onscreen navigation buttons to?
With an app called "full!screen" you can have a home and back button on the corners of your screen. Turn down the opacity to make the buttons transparent and you're left with what are essentially 'hotcorners.'
Home/Back are default. But you can customize which buttons you want displayed. You can also assign long-click and swipe action to the target area --though not sure how well swipe action would work for us.
This app also has it's own version of PIE control, if you like that interface. Works great.
Bonus: Works with Ouya launcher. (just checked it since my default is Nova Launcher)
Bonus 2: I had a previous tip to get notifications with a different app. You can set one of your actions in this app to show notifications. I just installed it. So not sure how well this feature will work.. and it's not exactly automatic notifications. It just allows you to pull up the notifications bar to view existing notificationss.
full!screen is free from the PlayStore.
cheers.

It hasn't been updated for kitkat.
Install LMT launcher from here(2.0RC5): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
then add this line to the end of your build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Then reboot and you'll have pie controls.

I use the paid root version of GMD Gesture control. It works fine, however, you will lose wallpaper while screen is in expanded mode if you are using the GEL launcher. It returns upon exiting & aside from that, all gesture features work fine. I prefer it because of the problem of PIE popping up & closing the app when swiping at the edge during game play.

I bought Auto Hide Soft Keys, because I really like edge swiping (got used to it on my Surface). Works great. It does require root, though.

One awesome improvement in 4.4 is that the "3 dots" menus still show, even with the soft navbar hidden. I used to be forced to use an Xposed module for that. Lucky that 4.4 fixed it as Xposed doesn't work anymore!

It does, I'm using it right now. Make sure you are using the 2.0 rc5 beta version.
pie controls from this thread works perfectly on 4.4 Nexus 7 2k13

that in conjunction with the build prop line.

Try this one it works great. I am using right now with Kit Kat 4.4 Rooted with CleanROM LE 2.1. I have also used it on stock Kit Kat too.

Now that we have wallpapers and widgets up and running (see here, root required!) I'm curious on which launcher you use and which pro's and cons you can share!
There's enough general threads about launchers, so let's ask FireTV-specific questions:
Is the launcher fully controllable with the FireTV's remote?
Are font & symbol sizes adjustable?
Obviously XBMC and SPMC work fine, so we won't discuss them here.
Nova Launcher
+ super fluid with all the features and themes it is known for
- navigation through different home screens requires at least one app icon on EVERY screen (you get stuck if you don't have one)
- Cannot change font size (on small screens this can be a drawback)
- mouse needed to arrange icons and widgets
I think it's wise to disable dock, as it does not really give a fluid navigation feeling...
FiredTV Launcher
+ runs even without root (kinda)
+ navigtion is perfectly fine with the remote
+ has it's own wallpaper mechanism
+ customize font and symbol size
- sometimes "forgets" your custom icon order (bugs)
- no widget support
- no live wallpaper support
You can add Square Home Launcher. (Tablet) version wallpapers & live wallpapers will work.
However same like with Nova you need mouse to drag icons & widgets (if possible) in Nova yes it is, in Square Home I had trouble.
Without using Llama or some other untiity, FiredTV didn't work for me. I chose not to install Xposed for now security-wise. Did anyone get it to work? I even tried with the FireTV launcher helper util

What security-wise reasons?
There isn't a way that works perfectly yet without xposed so it's either xposed with whatever security-wise reasons you have or you have to stick with using llama which isn't always working perfectly.
oops. wrong window. ignore this.

I use Fired TV on the stick, without root. Use Autopilot to start the launch on boot. Enable home key detection in settings. Works perfectly.
I just installed FiredTV on my stick; works great.
How do i set Nova Launcher as my default on Fire TV. And how do i switch b/w Nova and Stock home screen using my remote.
Can someone guide me with some instructions. Thanks.

With Root: xposed,rbox ftv tools
Without Root: aftvlauncher helper and set it to a launcher,and select home key detection.
I've now had my OP6T for 2 days and I'm starting to form some opinions around it. My first OP phone, came from the last couple Pixels & Nexus phones before that (also have a PH-1). I love lots of things, but hate a few things.
The things I'd like without rooting my unlocked phone:
1. Always-on Display (even if it eats 10% of the battery life!)
2. OnePlus navbar gestures in a way that doesn't suck for Google Assistant and doesn't break some apps by hiding the "Menu" buttons (TiBu is my only example off-hand). The long-press power button assistant shortcut is terrible, imo.
3. Google Feed/Discover instead of OnePlus Shelf
4. Figure out how to enable the "shrink the app to the icon on the home screen" animation I've seen online when you go from inside an app back to the home screen. I've not seen this work once on my phone (stock launcher)
5. Wallpaper on my home screen and lock screen to align properly (it's centered on my home screen but left-justified on my lock screen).
6. Clock to not blind me when I use the fingerprint scanner at night.
7. Dimmed fingerprint scanner animations (they also need to not blind me)
8. Hacked GCam app to use the telephoto lense when zooming
9. Let me use a gesture for lockdown mode, even if the screen is off
10. Remove leading zeros in clock hours (seriously, why is this a thing?)
Is any of this possible right now? I suspect a few things are my ignorance and there rest are just legitimate wishlist items.
Edit - SOLUTIONS!!
1. not yet fixed
2. None but I'm looking into a menu/overlay that pops up when you long-press the fingerprint sensor when unlocking your phone (keep it there for a few seconds after it unlocks). If I can find a way to activate this somehow while logged in, then we may have a solution!
3. not yet fixed
4. This works with OnePlus's custom navbar gestures enabled. This does not work with Pie gestures enabled.
5. not yet fixed
6. not yet fixed
7. not yet fixed
8. not yet fixed
9. not yet fixed
10. not yet fixed

Wishlist that I'll never get on this phone:
1. Fast charging with normal USB-C chargers (whether it's USB-PD or just 15W charging, I don't care)
2. Stop screwing around with non-standard USB-C stuff (dongle & charger)
3. Smaller curve radiuses (for both the corners and the notch)
4. Volume/power button arrangement identical to the Pixels, mute switch on the left side
Things that I very much appreciate:
1. Tap to wake
2. Gestures, even with the screen off
3. Fingerprint sensor *always* works in the dark, even if it blinds me
4. Status bar icon customization
5. The Settings cog is available after a single swipe down of my notifications (for some reason Pie hides this by default until you do the double swipe)
6. Silence switch
7. Perfectly-installed screen protector
8. GCam port, complete with Night Sight, working!
Regarding item 2, I leave the standard nav keys on, and use the OnePlus Gestures app at the same time. So I have programmable gestures and the stock nav keys.

Ahh, I was hoping to gain the screen real estate by using gestures and no nav bar. That would certainly solve the problem but at that point, I'd rather use the non-ideal Pie gestures.

If you use OnePlus Gestures to disable the nav bar completely, you can set one of the gestures to summon the Assistant.

I don't understand how to set a custom gesture that universally works to open the Assistant.

I've got gcam working, complete with night sight, but I'd like it to switch camera sensors anytime you zoom in. GCam digital zoom is inferior to the telephoto zoom that this camera has.
I highly doubt I'll ever see this.

OnePlus Gestures app is same as built-in except that you can program your own purpose for a specific swipe gesture. Since I am right handed I programmed the left swipe to either lock the screen or summon the Assistant. All other swipe gestures are same as built-in

The last time I tried it, the various animations didn't work smoothly (like the app minimizing into the homescreen icon). Has that been fixed?

Just set it up and the animations still have the huge latency and things don't drag around with my finger. Am I doing something wrong?
1. Classic nav bar enabled
2. Installed OnePlus Gestures + the Hide Navbar app
3. Granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
4. Disable navbar from the Hide Navbar app
5. Enabled third-party gestures: (swipe up on sides to Back, swipe up in middle to Home, long swipe in middle to Recents)
When doing this, if I do the long swipe up in the middle, the front app doesn't move around with my finger like it does with the stock OP-style gestures (there's a ~2 second lag in some animations).
If I change step #1 to use OP-style gestures and otherwise follow the same steps, then that problem goes away but the third-party guestures don't really seem to work (long swipe on sides won't open Assistant, for example, so I believe it's just using first-party gestures still).
