I have phiremod and when I click the down arrow to hide it idk how to bring it back up and I need it to exit/save the game. Is it possible to bring it back up or am I basically stuck with always having it up and not able to have fullscreen?
This may be a stupid question, but I am new to android devices. I just got my nook recently and I did try googling before asking.

Go into Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Choose unhide button. You can set it to show the soft buttons.
When I press Home it comes back up, I'm wondering if it is possible to bring it back up while I'm in game

Try the Button Savior app.
Thanks, just what I needed. I still keep the status bar soft buttons, but I minimize it in game and use button savior to get my menus

Hi pls help,
Just got an At&T Fuze......its got couple of inbuilt themes but when I apply it doesn't change......i tried all of those but it remains d same.......do i need to unlock something or some problem with my fone???
Any help is appreciated.......thanks in advance....
Get TF3D
I'm assuming you mean the TouchFlo 3D theme and not the windows theme?
You need to download and install TF3D found in this section. Then find a theme, there are plenty posted on here as well.
No by theme i mean the actual theme........taskbar....the bottom bar...menu...etc.....it just remains the same even after applying new theme.....is it some problem with my fone??
pls help
Are you clicking the "ok" in the top right after you select the theme? I just got a Fuze yesterday and no problems switching themes here...
Try what Maxxpower just said.
If it's not that then I doubt there's a problem with the handset... just the software. Try reflashing it with a rom or something?
I had that problem with my fuze too, something messed up during the initial setup and the top and bottom bars were green and never changed with any theme.. may not be the answer your looking for, but a hard reset fixed it for me.
Hard Reset:
Take off back cover, remove stylus.. find red "reset button".
Hold down Volume Down and Main Circle Button... press red reset button with stylus at same time. Release reset button keep volume down and main button pressed.
Wait for some text to come up on screen, press volume up to continue, press volume up to reboot.
Just incase OP didn't know =]

Or just go to Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage> Type 1234 and click yes
lol. Wasn't that easier? haha it's just another method. I prefer the above method when you can't access the device at all. This one is much smoother and faster since you only have to type instead of opening and clicking and holding. Just my opinion
thanks a ton guys!! i will try a hard reset and hope it works.........

How can I remove the back and menu buttons on the status bar? I rooted with Touchnooter, and I don't know what app puts those there. I've assigned my left physical buttons to menu and back, so I no longer need those shortcuts.
Those will just always be there unless the app you're using is full screen.
Plus if your physical buttons break for some reason it is a good idea to keep them there.

They won't always be there, so if the buttons break you'll just be doomed anyway, but it's more trouble than it's worth to mess with what B&N put in to remove them.
is there anyway to do this? why isnt there a menu key!
There is......It's the button on the right. They did away with search button not the menu button, is this your first Android?

no its not my first android lol , the one on the right? that brings up a long list of junk, not the regular menus (recent apps) i guess? al my other android devices, Droid, Droid2, and Bionic, all had menu buttons available any time for settings, i was wondering if there was a way to do this, as they have on the nexus phones, (yes i tried flashing it, dont do it was a bad idea.)
anyone else? the soft key on the right is the square with another behind it... brings up recent apps
It's a good idea to read up on the new version of android before posting topics to which the answer is a single google search away.
Android 3.0 did away with the menu button. now it only shows up when needed for an older app. new apps have a dedicated menu button in their UI.
you can access the settings through the notification drop down.
You must be coming off an old version of Android. The button you are looking for will be 3 little dots to the right of the square on square button. It will only appear if the app needs it. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html

Could not have said it any better.
Instead there is a contextual menu key (either top or bottom right for some reason) of 3 dots. Does that not work for you?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
On my Evo LTE running CM10 the recent apps button on short press opens settings and long press opens recent apps. I like this function vs having to have a shortcut on the desktop or getting to it from notifications. On most newer phones/tablets running ICS/JB there are mods that remap this function but I've not seen this anywhere for the Nexus. I"m running stock but rooted and would prefer to stay that way if i can. Does anyone either know how to do it or if there's a mod floating around that i was unable to find using "search"?
I would also love to customize what app is opened when sliding up from the soft keys, if that's related.

No that's not exactly what i'm talking about but i would like to do that as well. If i understand correctly if you hold any of the software key/button (IE back, home, or recent apps) and slide your finger up there is a dotted circle with google search button at the top. If i could place the settings app there that would get me by. As for now when i hit the recent apps button i would prefer that to be the settings button or being able to long press the button to open settings. I think what i want is a limitation of the launcher but who knows. Anyone who does have any idea how to do this please let me know. I did attempt to edit the keys file in system/usr/keylayout by trying to add an extra key for settings but it didn't work.
Hey,
I would like to know how the menu button works on this phone when there ..is no (only back, home and "apps" button)?
Because it is defenitely needed.
Thanks

Yea usually the app itself has the menu button built into it. Or sometimes it's the rom depending on which one it is.
with on-screen buttons you can customize the navigation bar to your liking rather than needing to conform to hardware buttons.
im a big fan of mechanical buttons, but if youre giving me touch buttons let me customize them.. which is what googles doing with the nexus line
Google got rid of the menu button a long time ago. There is no such thing as "menu" in Android 4.0 and later. The three dots in the action bar is called action overflow.
Don’t call it a menu
Not only should your apps stop relying on the hardware Menu button, but you should stop thinking about your activities using a “menu button” at all. Your activities should provide buttons for important user actions directly in the action bar (or elsewhere on screen). Those that can’t fit in the action bar end up in the action overflow.
