Resize nav buttons? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any custom rom that can re-size the navigation buttons, so we can have more screen?
I want to keep them in the same place but make them smaller. They take up to much of the sceen.

search dev forums and if they have it, they'll say it under the list of the many features

I have tweaked the necessary files so you can update the stock ROM with a thinner nav bar, however you need a rooted device and unlocked boot loader, so you might as well go the full custom ROM which will give you more options over the nav bar, such as choosing your own size.

Hey Phil, how did you go about making your nav bar thinner? I want to stick to stock and am just adding small mods and the thickness of the nav bar really gets to me.

Liquidsmooth has nav bar resizing.

PA has navbar sizing, you can scale it down to zero if you want
tablet UI (statusbar and navbar are one) +phablet +per app dpi and UI control overall
expanded desktop
and expanded desktop on per app basis where is basically shifts into that mode for apps you define that way

What is PA? Do you have to be rooted to use it? Thanks.

It's a custom ROM, and you have to be rooted to install any custom ROM.
I highly recommend PA over other custom ROMs. I just recently decided to see the status of CM10.1 and immediately restored my backup of PA. There are some nice things about other ROMs (AOKP retains the old 2.x behavior of selecting which app to launch such that you don't have to make 2 presses to open with an app only once), but all of them are pretty early in their development. PA can be modified the same way the other ROMs can, but the underlying ability to select both the dpi and layout of an app is invaluable.
I'm stuck with PA, and glad for it!

I'd throw my hat in for AOKP, it's got more customisation than any of the other ROM's and to be fair is now on milestone stable releases.

It depends on what you call customization. Apps are where you hopefully spend 95% of your time using your device, they are what makes your phone worthwhile. Curiously here you have virtually zero customization although the potential is the largest that android has to offer. Buttons and tweaks pale if you could see what's hidden in your everyday apps, if you have a way to tap into it that is.
ps. here's an example
this is how a normal rom uses the screen: http://www.abload.de/img/2013-01-04-15.02g2z5f.jpg
this is how pa can use the screen (and the hidden capabilities in any app): http://www.abload.de/img/n4-product-heroe5z5z.jpg
pa does that optionally. you can switch between UI's app per app. also tab-UI is optional and separate. you could run gtalk like that in any interface UI.
now literally hundreds of apps can do that, pretty much all google apps, tons of apps coming out everyday making good use of the screen now where nexus7 and 10 have established a market for bigger displays.

Hi there,
I have been stumbling across some awesome CM10 themes and it's something I'd like to have although they are only for CM9 and CM10. I'm currently running rooted stock nexus 4, whats the benefits of having a rom like CM10 - does CM10 run 4.2.1? which is what im currently using?
Whats are the positives and negatives to switching?
If i switch, can I convert BACK to stock?
1. Use the search feature. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35521539
2. CM10 = Android 4.1.X....... does not support Android 4.2.X and does not support N4 (mako)
3. first link. no negatives. its like reformatting your computer. If you go to Windows 8 and don't like it, go back to Windows 7.. what are the negatives? none. just reinstall apps... use titanium backup to backup/restore apps (buy pro version)
4. Yes you can revert back to stock. Nothing is permanent on android.
......... next time, do some research before just straight up asking these questions as they are already answered.

a big positive with AOKP is the ability to add in and customize the on screen nav bar buttons. i came from a gs2. so setting this phone to have the same layout as my gs2 capacitive buttons is a real winner. you can also rearrange the order of and how many toggles there are in the quick settings drop down. there is a whole list of features that you get and the devving has only just begun.

CM10.1 (Jellybro) already has Navigation Bar changes. It's better off getting used to those three buttons IMO, menu is useless for me. I prefer having it as a touch button somewhere on the app. If not then I'll use the bottom right one.
You can arrange toggles on quick settings drop down as well on CM10.1.
CM10.1 is a ongoing project and is developing really fast without dirty hacks that AOKP does. Very clean code.

Pull down notifications -> Tiles -> Settings. Guess I got accustomed to it on my Galaxy Nexus where there wasn't a tile button. It was just pull down notifications -> settings. It takes some time getting used to it, but it's pretty good imo. But that's the best part about android you can do it the way you like it, traditionally or the new way
I used to like AOKP but felt it was too bloated with unnecessary crap like AOKP Wallpapers (Swagpapers), unnecessary unicorn stuff etc. I prefer CM as its cleaner code and more optimal whereas AOKP does things in 'hackish' code and just like what the name implies, it's kanged from CM sources anyway.

does AOKP have navigation height / width adjustments in the ROM already? i miss that feature, CM has everything I want as of right now. only missing nav height changes. can't wait for PGM for N4 though http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bZEodCnYv58#t=14s is a brief video of what it is. i love it because i dont have to use the buttons

Ah I don't need arrows, I actually prefer them to be normal size. AOKP probably has this feature already, CM has a feature in which if you are on a entry field (typing) you can use volume keys.. up and down to move left and right of your words if you choose to (can be disabled).
the phone does sleep, it's built into a kernel module and uses very minimal battery life. I've used it since I saw it on the GN apps forum. if you use light flow, it probably uses the same amount of battery (or less). lightflow barely interferes with the phone's battery life.
oh that's easy.. just go to any youtube video and right click the video and click "Copy current url at current time" I figured I would save you some time and get to the point

Soft keys

I'm sure it is somewhere in this forum but I was wondering if someone had a flashable zip. For slightly smaller soft keys to regain a little bit of screen real estate. Nothing drastic. Just a little mod. Same design, same key style...just a little bit shorter. BTW I'm on a fairly stock 4.2.2 aosp ROM. Thanks for any help

What about rasbean? Been running that for few days and its my fav rom now i also like to keep things simple which is why i like it as it only has few customizations but one of them is to change navbar height stock is 48 but ive changed to 32 you can do smaller or even hide completely, on other roms i hid completely and used lmt instead but on rasbean its got really nice theme which turns navbar black with blue neon blue keys so kept it but just made smaller lol

[Q] Enable fullscreen when gaming (remove navigation bar)

Hello,
Is it possible to run games in fullscreen mode, hiding the navigation bar, with a stock but unlocked and rooted N4?
I say that because i´ve seen custom roms with option to hide navigation bar.
Their are a few apps that do this with rooted phones.
Look on Google play

Add this line to the end of the build.prop and use LMT Launcher found on XDA.

It makes no sense to root nexus. If you want to modify your phone find a ROM that suits you. Otherwise you'll be dealing with a bunch of petty hacks.
That lmt thing plus mainkeys=1 for instance. Who does that? Who buys a flagship phone and ****s it up like that, makes it unusable for regular use.
If you want full screen for games you want to make sure of two things: it must be easily switchable off, you need pie for navigation, which at this point is standard for pretty much all ROMs.

The easiest way is to install ParanoidAndroid

try this app out. i use it only when i playing games. you can enable and disable it whenever you want. since i hate the buttons on screen when playing games and i dont care for pie, this is the best option imo. it will show a little button in the bottom left or right hand corner (your choice) then you can set the button so when you click it, it will go back and if you hold the button then it will disable the full screen mode. its pretty awesome when playing games.

i meant rooting stock. if you use a rom you don't have these issues because all roms are equipped for fullscreen/gaming.
roms are rooted by default so that goes without saying.

Tablet UI on 4.3

Hi all,
Has anyone successfully obtained the tablet UI on 4.3 yet.
I have just updated from PA and gone back to stock but really miss the tablet layout
I am also interested in tablet ui. I know custom Roms will be eventually updated and provide tablet ui but it is nice if we can have a workaround for stock ROM.

With these two apps you do not need any black bars and their wasted space:
Full!screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen&hl=en
> removes both bars and provides a notification pop-up
LMT (PIE): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
> The PIE feature allows you to customize two semi-circles sets of buttons which usually replaces navigation buttons plus a lot more.
They both work with Android 4.3 but not perfectly. I suspect these minor issues will be fixed soon.
> Both add an unwanted notification that their perspective app is running. Clicking on them leads to the apps settings page.
> Full!screen will not autostart but can be launched manually and works fine from there. Its configuration page app states that it is incompatible with 4.3 but works anyway.
I have been using both apps for several months now and cannot imagine going back to having the wasted screen space.

I just wish Google would put in an option to scoot the buttons over to the left. I'm fine with the top bar, but I don't like the buttons in the middle.
Logically, the tablet UI made so much sense. I do miss being able to see important information like the clock and battery when an app or a game goes to full screen.

Tablet ui code was removed by Google in version 4.2.2 as they wanted a single unified interface, in previous versions some devices on stock could be tricked into one mode or other by tweaking the build.prop values. Since 4.2.2 the code for the (old) tablet mode needs to be put back into the ROM (As in P.A for example) this means it's not a simple quick task, Once the 4.3 code has been merged with the 4.2.2 sources I am sure we will see all the ROM's on xda updated soon.

Building New ROM. Post your Requests

Hi there
I am thinking of making a new Rom for Nexus 7 2013 WIFI (flo) and I would like to see what I can do for you. However, I am doing a little survey before I start developing the Rom. Kindly tell me what do you need in a ROM.
The rom will be build from source of 4.3 most probably but it's not set to stone yet. I might start working when 4.4 comes for our device.
Do you want to see specific softwares or specific modification or anything ?
Things like prerooted, custom boot animations,some softwares?
If I can do that, I will happy to do that for you all.
What do you like to see in the ROM, write your requests!
UPDATE :
Currently working on Xperia L, SP & Galaxy star so this project may be delayed till 4.4 is released
One think I like is that it's already rooted.

Unofficial Carbon with Tablet UI, Carbon has so many customizing features, however, what are you aiming for? swiss knife full-featured ROM or a slim stock-like ROM?
I really love halo and piecontrol to use full-screen all the time.
I would like a real multitasking like split the screen in half for example, with 2 different apps running.
I would also like a fully translated rom (in French) because ppl who develops roms usually forget about other languages than English for their new menu entries for example.
I'd also advise you to keep the stock bootanimation, Devs like to change it for a custom name, but it usually is not as good as stock (like PA, which I love, but hated the bootanimation).
Prerooted is always welcome.
I would also like a way to use different languages for voice recognition (not at the same time but easily changeable). I use French as much as English and it pisses me off that I can only use one voice recognition language.
An aosp browser of course.
Get rid of native apps other than gplay and Google search and maps, such as music, books,...
USB connection other than MTP would be nice for Linux users.
Stickymount like option built-in for USB keys, hard drives,...
An "advanced options" menu with startup apps & services, voltage control.
Maybe a modified gplay that can reach freedroid repos.
Built-in adblock plus to get rid of the annoying persistent notification (under "advanced options" maybe?)
That's rather an app but... A keyboard with advanced soft keys like ctrl-c ctrl-v and many others.
As many gpl licensed codes as possible (ideologically important for me)
... That's all I can think of right now

Just one: audio over USB. This is the only thing tying me to CM and their CAF. If only someone would show me how to port their USB portion I would jump ship to AOSP immediately.

I'd like to see something completely different. Every single ROM is AOSP plus this feature or that feature. I was excited for Multi-ROM for this device so I could try some new ROMs but they're all exactly the same plus or minus a few features. I find myself returning to stock 4.3 every time.

I'd also advise you to keep the stock bootanimation, Devs like to change it for a custom name, but it usually is not as good as stock (like PA, which I love, but hated the bootanimation).
Prerooted is always welcome.
I would also like a way to use different languages for voice recognition (not at the same time but easily changeable). I use French as much as English and it pisses me off that I can only use one voice recognition language.
An aosp browser of course.
Get rid of native apps other than gplay and Google search and maps, such as music, books,...
USB connection other than MTP would be nice for Linux users.
Stickymount like option built-in for USB keys, hard drives,...
An "advanced options" menu with startup apps & services, voltage control.
Maybe a modified gplay that can reach freedroid repos.
Built-in adblock plus to get rid of the annoying persistent notification (under "advanced options" maybe?)
That's rather an app but... A keyboard with advanced soft keys like ctrl-c ctrl-v and many others.
As many gpl licensed codes as possible (ideologically important for me)
... That's all I can think of right now

Just one: audio over USB. This is the only thing tying me to CM and their CAF. If only someone would show me how to port their USB portion I would jump ship to AOSP immediately.

I'd like to see something completely different. Every single ROM is AOSP plus this feature or that feature. I was excited for Multi-ROM for this device so I could try some new ROMs but they're all exactly the same plus or minus a few features. I find myself returning to stock 4.3 every time.

Noted down. Now I am looking at suggestions and out of all those, what is possible for me. I will update you all after looking at each one in detail.
Maybe two versions. One with just needed features while the otherone with loads of them. I am not sure how much time it will take me. I have already ordered a new hard disk as it will take loads of space!
I'm easy.
I just like Center Clock. Theme Support. Navigation bar Height. Transparency.
The Status Bar Data Speed is handy.

Thanks, it will probably take a lot of time.

I have already requested files from different devices that I might be able to port to nexus. What you are asking could be done! Noted down !

I am not sure if I can do that. It seems unlikely I am afraid!
