Hi all, Loving my Nexus so far but would like to change the size of the Nav bar, there is no need for it to be so big!
I am running AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus and it has easy options to change the nav bar size.
Does anyone know of a way to change it on the Nexus 7? I am happy to flash a zip if thats what is nessary but I dont really want to flash a whole new rom.. Any help appreciated!
you could do what im doing, waiting it out until a full blown, feature filled AOKP JB ROM comes out. until then, im just gonna deal with it :/ its not so bad

Just change the DPI. Bonus...get tablet UI!
I'm running 160 with no issues on anything.
Yeah think I will wait till AOKP comes out.
Hey Ace! Just a heads up in case you didnt know you can get Tablet UI without touching the DPI settings.
Thing is changing the DPI to 160 causes a lot of apps to resize wrong and the text is tiny. In the devs section there is a patch that enables Tablet UI without changing DPI. Its works great, I recommend it!

I would like to know this too. I'm using glazed which I like but I want to increase the bar sizes both navigation and status.
If its just a tweak in a file somewhere it would be nice. Anyone know?
I use Go Launcher and disable it. Anything I want to see on the home screen I just add a widget.

Set my DPI to 175. I like the look. My brother says it makes everything too small. What ya'll think?

I myself find low scale dpi a really nice look.
I haven't tried 175 yet but I'll make sure to take a look at it.
Guess I should get a tablet to suit my needs lol.

I just like the look of high-res myself. If I could find a phone with a 4" 1080p screen I'd be all over it. LOL
That looks like ICS; does your phone app work at that DPI? I always had issues with that when I increased the DPI.
Yep. Its CM9 RC0 and phone app works fine.
Nice, thanks, I guess I'll have to give it a go again.
175 works great..I went into launcher setting and changed homescreen to 5x5 instead of the default 4x4. Makes the screen seem much bigger then it is.
I had to change it back to 200 cuz incoming calls crash my phone app although I was able to dial outgoing calls just fine.
That's odd, because when I set it to 175, I couldn't even dial. I've never been able to pull off that kind of setting on anything other than ParanoidAndroid and not have phone app FCs.
Go 160. 175 isn't an officially supported DPI for android
how do you change the dpi?

By build prop or LCD density app.

I tried 160 a bit earlier today and had the exact same issue with the phone app. I would be inclined to believe that it may be a matter of the phone app in our ROMs not supporting anything other than stock DPI without modification to the app itself.
I'm comfortable with 200. Everything works so far.....also I change mine using ROM Tools. Its a slider. But you can use Root Explorer to change the build.prop file as well. Either way works.
Hi all,
Is there a way to hide the navigation bar when typing, whether rooted/custom roms or stock? When typing quickly in landscape (with swiftkey) I keep pushing home by accident.
Thanks.
Team EOS just released a stable rom that allows you to hide the navigation bars (holding the power button). It works great but I found using gmd gesture control (recommended in a similar thread) to be much more effective and easy to use. It has lots more options than just hiding the navigation bars. With all the new and programmable gestures I really am beginning to use my nexus differently. Even though it takes a little getting used to.

hiding is easy, but its kind of tiring to do if its just for typing a sentence or two. if youre in for fullscreen browsing it is an option most roms have. i use it mostly for playing games.
another option is phoneUI, which surprisingly works pretty neat, i also like the notificationdropdown better. it makes way in landscape orientation just like on your phone.
another take would be to blow up the keyboard, maybe your fingers like it better. pa can individually change apps, even keyboards to any size or form you want.
yet another option would be the phoneUI keyboard, this is what i use and i find it better to type on. i use it with systemUI set to tabUI so i dont get these fat bottons down there anyway.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm completely stock at the moment but will be rooting soon, especially with this. Just got to sort through which rom I want!
@toid, that looks brilliant, would like to have those other gestures too. Thanks!
So I've rooted now and got the GMD Gestures, loving them! Will be installing Paranoid once it's updated to 4.1.2

I've searched everywhere for this but somehow can't find anybody else with the same problem.
My lockscreen clock widget keeps on cropping itself really badly when I unlock, like it's too big for the widget space.
Weird thing is I've tried wiping, and I've tried several different roms and kernels (PA, AOKP, Rasbean) but still the same issue. So lost as to why nobody else seems to be experiencing this. Screenshot below:

Anybody think of an explanation? It's doing my head in !
It is too big. Your font is way bigger then the standard font the clock widget was designed with. What's the mystery?

Why is it so big? Know of any way to change it? I've looked everywhere in my settings and searched all the internets.
Just don't understand how it still does it on all roms I use. Ahhhhh
Damn. That woman is fine.
That's all I have to add to this topic.
Unfortunately I can't help, but could you share your wallpaper?
And her name if you know it, I used to know it but I completely forgot
Have you tried removing the widget from the screen and adding it again?

So that it's pointing to the right rather than up, and also rotate it so that it's pointing left? I try to do it in my Gallery app but then I can't use it on my NavBar . I wanted to be able to use it ad a custom image for my navbar icons
Also, can you mirror this one
Same deal with the above. I want to be able to use it ad a custom icon for my navbar

Here it is (I made it all because I didn't undersatnd very well what you wanted exactly...)
Thanks, but I can't use them
The red block in the bottom left is one if the icons you rotated
The background needs to be transparent somehow and I have no idea how to make it transparent
If this is too hard to do I'll settle with just one simple line that matches the height of the predator navbarset's back and recent button's top line

Try these one and then let me know the one you prefer and what precisely you want (I mean forother images) :good:

There !
Let me know if you want it more centered because on those ones I just cut, turn and it might not be centered as if it was the original.

You can change the dpi for system.ui using xposed framework with the app settings module. You could also change the dpi globally in the build prop.

I realise how late this reply is, but I was having the same issue and I figured it out
I found that changing the DPI to 420 shrinks it down just right but you can play with the number to get the size you want, a bigger number means that the elements are bigger.

Have the same issue - notification too big. Want to shrink it down.
When I change the DPI, can you limit this to just the notification? If so, which setting applies to this?
Any chance you can upload a sample? Be good to see it Thanks!

I think he just changed it globally. But if you use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-7-1-2013-12-15-t2437377
you can change the dp for systemui.apk only.
