Is there anyway to "minimize" Nav bar?
Meaning, sometimes in a full screen apps the navbar "minimizes" so its only represented by 3 dots? upon touching them, the back, home and recent soft buttons return. and touching them again will trigger their action
Sorry for the terrible phrasing, dunno exactly what to call it...
Thanks,
They still function like normal even when they are the dots, they are just made a little less distracting. To answer the question, there's no mod to do that on command
Or do you mean when they are overlapping the screen as dots, not on their normal black space? Still no way
Some custom roms can hide them entirely when the power button's held though

Yes. Some ROMs have expanded Desktop option (hide nav and status bars). Some let you hide the navbar entirely.

Don't mean to thread jack, but going with OP's question, would it be possible to toggle it with some button combo like volume up+power, considering we already have screenshots as volume down+power?

Yes. There are a few ways you can do that. The app at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ will allow you to hide the status bar by selecting it from the notifications, and you can show it again by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
The SGT7 Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788518) also gives an option for toggling the status bar if you hold the power button down. I stopped using HideBar after I installed this rom, because I get re-activating the status bar by accident when I had to press the bottom of the screen in a game, and the option for showing the bar when pressing the top and bottom wasn't very responsive.
The Roo case does a pretty good job of covering the Nav bar.
Thinking of trimming 1/8" off just so the Nav bar is usable.
Now that many people have changed their navigation bars to have the menu button, will it be possible to hide the 3 dot menu button that appears in apps (for example the one that appears in chrome)?
It depends on the ROM. In xylon, in xy settings, nav bar, I have the option for menu visibility that I can change.

You need a custom rom to do it, stock does not support it. I use paranoid and the option is available. Some apps automatically hide the buttons.
I think you guys may have misunderstood me, but excuse me if I'm wrong. I do not mean the small dots that actually appear in the navigation bar itself, I mean the dots that appear inside the actual app, which sometimes actually create a whole bar for themselves.

You would have to mod the app itself and then most likely lose the ability to access menus such as the settings menu since we don't have a hard menu button to do this.
First off...many thanks to ALL you devs who have already contributed and will contribute in the future. Your work is necessary as phone manufacturers ship less than perfect handsets. You guys truly make these products sooooo much better.
From what I've been gathering...a number of folks would like some of these ideas listed added to this wonderful phone. Donations shall be in order of course for all the hard work.
- The ability to hide the ever present location "bullseye" Icon
- Replace the battey icon with a custom one (I always thought that multicolored round one with the percent in the middle was coooooollll), or shrinking the stock percentage and placing it on top the battery.
- Bottom speaker gain control
- knock off works if you tap the empty area of the home-screen in a 3rd party launcher (the stock ui sees it as one big app, which is why it won't work unless you double tap the top status bar.)
- Keeping the top status bar and the lower nav buttons transparent in 3rd party launchers (the stock ui again sees it as one big app, rendering the bars opaque)
- Black or gray theme for settings menu....the white is a bit harsh.
- Double tapping the home nav button brings up LG Voice Mate...or that voice control LG app thingy.
Hide the brightness and volume sliders in the notification panel please!

The VZW model never had them in the first place.
This is a request thread and should go in Q/A or general.
Thank you!

They will soon.
No worries.
I'm working on these atm..
but I have F320 Systemui..
no one sent me the Verizon of At&t systemui.apk..
And for the 1% Battery MOD, Framework.res & Lge.res is also required..
EDIT: My friend here, djkinetic sent me those files.. I cannot see or test anything..so i will send it to him for testing. But not everything at once, one by one slowly..
How about removal of the AM/PM please and location icon (as was mentioned)
What kind of bottom speaker control are you asking for?
I support the dark settings theme.
At least you can change the navbar to be black instead of white, and the settings menu to be tabbed instead of one gigantic list. I was worried during initial reviews when they said you couldn't change those.
I'd like to add - ability to customize navbar to add other button types, or at least the customization of the navbar hold-n-drag options (currently holds voice search, Google Now, and something else).

I want to be able to turn up the speaker volume.
Certainly donations are in order
Here are a few requests....
- white or ICS blue status bar with no gps icon, add center clock, battery with percentage in the middle
- recents button in the nav bar - remove menu
- no more wifi connected to in notification drop down
- louder notification sounds
OR CM10 with knock knock

All in good time. The beauty of a flagship device is very highly likely CM support.
AOSP please
How about a permanent Back, Home, Multitask, Menu button layout in AOSP style with a semi transparent background on the homescreen...
Of course, I'd prefer complete AOSP.

Sitting here streaming Slacker radio, dawned on me:
customizable knock patterns! like 2 knocks for skipping a track, change wake up to 3 knocks, etc.
- knock off works if you tap the empty area of the home-screen in a 3rd party launcher (the stock ui sees it as one big app, which is why it won't work unless you double tap the top status bar.)

Just use Nova gesture double tap + tasker task to lock the screen.

Why buy the G2 if all you want is AOSP? You might as well have waited for the N5.. I don't understand why people buy a phone that has some pretty cool features, only to flash AOSP and lose most of it... I get that a lot of what the G2 does can be built into AOSP with different apps but i guess I'm the only one who buys the phone for the experience that was intended by the manufacturer.
Ok guys, was able to make many things and tested them too! Need to fix a few things. Its 4 am here,by 11am i will make a new thread in themes section
is it possible to change black background of apps?
if it is can you show me how?
and another question is how can i remove the back and home buttons when i play games!
thanks!
is there any way to change it?

For hiding keys you can use Auto hide nav keys, that is in Themes and app section..
I am not exactly getting your question,1st one.?
You can use slimbean rom that a feature where you can make all the settings and apps dark. try it. :good:
Press thanks if I helped you.
Like the last poster said you can use a ROM with the pie feature this way you can permanently remove the navigation bar and when you swore from a region (you can set it to wherever you want) a crescent comes out with your buttons. I prefer using AOKP since with pie you can accidentally open that panel while playing some more intense games.
On AOKP you can remove the navigation bar in the power window and use home, menu, and back buttons from there as well.
thanks
Hey friends
I really don't like the navbar which is reducing the screen to much, so I decided to install J Touch app from playstore.
Loaded a nice looking home button jpeg picture from the web. Give the button a one hit back function, a long press home function and a swipe up for recents.
Please see attached pictures navigating is nice and I whish I could even eliminate the navbar on the homescreen

Keeping one icon appear on the screen all the time may cause burn in I'd be worried about that

No I don't think so. There is transparency setted, the button is popping if hitted and it is shifting up on home screen. You could be as scared or even more about a status bar burn in...
and look how much time is needed:
"Test Results
The iPhone X displayed burn-ins before the Galaxy Note 8 at 17 hours. However, it took 510 hours for the images to become permanently etched on its display which also marked the end of the test.
Compared to that, the Note 8 took 62 hours to show first signs of display burn-in, which is impressive. However, it had permanent marks way before the end of the test. The Galaxy S7 Edge showed signs of burn-in sooner than the iPhone X, however, it showed permanent burn-ins much later than the Note 8 and almost at iPhone X’s 510 hour mark."

Ok so would you recommend the app over navigation gesture? The gesture is not polished at the moment I'll give the app a go

I think so, you can also activate temporary move, which is helpful is s.th. is hided by the button. So you can move the button away for two seconds. You can hide button always in landscape, it is hiding when you are keyboard typing... it is perfect for 18:9 displays.
If navbar would have a one button control too, I wouldn't use J Touch.
You can also give it an iPhone look but ok I guess everybody is hating apple .
Edit: Ah ok you mean gesture. Sorry I didn't have this option until now.... don't know what is better
Looks like a nice app. I prefer LMT Launcher though as you can set it to do almost any task and only comes on the screen when you activate it so creates a really clean look with extra functionality.
Or you could try Gesture Control from Conena.. I'm very happy with the way the gestures work

Have you been able to use lmt with stock os? If so, I'd like to know the secret for getting rid of the nav bar
Not sure. Not really a fan of stock. From other forum members, it's possible to disable it with the joneplustool app. Both that and LMT require root.
I've been using Swipe Navigation. It even has long press functionality. Loving it so far.
That looks bat **** ugly, why don't you just download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en ?

Xposed Edge anyone?
