[Q] How to hide android navbar? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought a Nexus 7. It's gonna arrive In a week
But I already know, from a limited experience I had with android 4.0+ 7" tablets that I will hate the navbar when I want fullscreen. I just want to be able to easily (and if possible, for free) to hide the navbar when in games and browsing.
I'm planing to root, but will not be messing with any custom ROMs. Is there a way to somehow make the navbar hidden?
This is what I found on the play store:

Any good?

Lock Screen Shortcuts

I'm wondering if there's a launcher that allows me to easily add shortcuts to the launch screen.I'd like the customization that the Liquid Smooth ROM offers without having to flash a new ROM.
I may end up doing that anyway at this point since my new Nexus will be on the way soon, but I'd like to work everything out before it gets here so I can just get it all ready.
Nobody knows? I would like also to change them.

Paranoid android 3.0 bluetooth question.

Hi, I want to update my nexus 7 with new PA. But when I test one of last beta, I had a problem with pairing n7 with my phone. It is working, but every time I lost connection (because I went with my n7 to other room) i had to accept pairing request on both devices, and I had to do it twice. After accept on phone and n7, it appears once again I must accept it again. This was really annoying, and now I'm on PA 2.5 and I dont need to pair my devices every time, I had to do it only first time when I paired my phone and nexus. I remember that on stock 4.2 it was the same, I paired my devices only once. And my question is: how it works in PA3.0? It's corrected? I'm asking because this is most important thing for me, I have an app which allow me to write text messages from my tablet via bluetooth and shows me when someone calling me, and I almost dont need to even look at my phone. But on new Paranoid I have take it to hand every time when i lose connection.
And sorry for my english, it isn't my native language.

Hello, im sorry but i'll take this topic to ask a little question to paranoid users.
When I decided to experiment paranoid, I installed the 14January2013 version, and I just liked a lot the full tablet UI mixed with the phablet UI (little icons and more space in the launcher, and much more icons in the drawer, perfect fitted).
It happens that with the newer versions i just cant get the same UI (even the new 3+ 4.2.2), when I put the same definitions in Hybrid Properties my launcher borders became limited, is like the same space of a phablet normal UI but the little icons that i want in the middle of the screen. Its that normal? I would like to update, but i really apreciate the UI that I get with this precisely build (14JAN).
Workspace
layout - Tablet mode (1000p)
size - 160dpi
lockscreen 180 dpi

Do you use the stock launcher or Nova? You can change the launcher borders (if I'm reading what you're saying correctly) with Nova.

Best launcher for Nexus 5/KitKat 4.4

Google seems to have actually managed to gain a competitive advantage with the new stock launcher: the integration of Google Now including the corresponding voice command "OK Google".
Do you think or are you able to tell if this is something, that developers of other launchers will also be able to do?
Furthermore, so far there isn't a launcher out yet with transparent navbar, or am I wrong? Which launcher would you recommend for the nexus 5 in regards to this? I have always used Apex on my GNex and my Nexus 4 and was very happy. But the transparent nav- and statusbars are just too darn sexy.
Put short, if you are looking for an exact copy of the Google Experience Launcher, you're outta luck. It's impossible for a third party launcher to integrate the Google Now 'left swipe' screen or the voice activated "OK, Google" as both features have closed APIs. The good news is, at least the Nova Launcher dev has said that he's planning to implement the same feature but in a different way. For example, placing an entire Google Now widget on the left screen. It won't be exactly how Google has it, but it will be close enough
As for the transparent UI status bar, I believe all third party launchers will support this feature.

thanks..that was kind of what i thought. I don't really need the swipe or voice activation (allthough they're nice to have)...transparent nav- and statusbars are way more important
any word on when which dev is gonna come up with an update including the new features for kitkat? since i've been using apex for the last 2 years or so i'm not really aware of the differences to the other launchers..

Not sure about Apex, but Nova should be sooner than later. The dev has already implemented the feature, it's just a matter of when he decides to release it.
Action Launcher is what I'm currently using. Very responsive dev, I;m currently running the beta and he's added transparency, white folders and white accents to match the kitkat theme.

Action Launcher Beta has transparency. I don't like the launcher itself though, and it does cost $3.99. Nova creater says he is working on it, but didn't give an ETA for the actual release or beta. You can sign up for either beta through Google+.

Same here.
Stock launcher too basic and plain for my taste waiting for either nova to update as im using their current version.. or for carbom/liquidsmooth/pa rom where u can change the nav bar buttons as well as color. Same with status bar

the only thing i dont like about stock is that you can't set your home panel.
it's annoying having to put all my icons to the right

100% agree with this "it's annoying having to put all my icons to the right"
I like my screens where they were and now centering is left WTF?
I like the stock launcher. But it isn't possible to hide App icons in the Drawer vor can I do this? I didn't find an Option for this
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
I will go with stock until nova reveives an update.
I've always used Nova, but I could start using stock launcher (I like the swipe to Google Now) if only there was a way to apply a theme icons as we can do with third party launchers

Same here. I hate not having this function.
Stock Launcher great, but ...
I can agree it would be great if the stock laucher had two small addons, than it would be the best launcher for me:
1. Custom Number of Rows and Columns for Home and App Drawer
2. A chance to organize the App Drawer using either "Folders" or "Tabs"
Is it not possible for some devs to achieve this with the experience launcher an make my dream come true to have
a more experience launcher.
Best Regards ... I would also pay for such a launcher ...
I agree. I love the stock launcher but hate the icons, if they update to allow icon packs that would be great and to have more control over the app drawer.

I found the App "Apphider" ... You can hide all apps you want but you need root... This was a solution for my problem ...

if someone can post here when nova, or some other launcher, gets the Google now update, it'd be greatly appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

Launcher + Samsung Features

Went yesterday to a Samsung store and tested the Edge+. Never thought that I could handle a phone with such a big screen. But the formfactor of the chassis and the one-hand-mode convinced me.
I'm still scared of touchwiz. If I use a launcher like GEL, will features like double (camera) and triple presd (one-hand-mode) still work. Which disadvantages do I have with a alternative launcher?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
It works at the OS level so changing launcher won't affect anything.

have any substratum running?

i want theme some Apps but i get no effect
Priory Whatsapp Play Store and some other apps i want themed... I like all black. What Theme work? Pay or free is ok
thanks

No substratum for TouchWiz devices
grml thats bad.

I wish to have that too, lets wait for a custom Firmware or something .. :U

if you are talking about INVERTED/NEGATIVE COLORS like on iPhone, you can achieve this as follows on GS8;
SETTINGS>>ACCESSIBILITY>>VISION>>NEGATIVE COLORS
I guess there's no need to bash ANDROID for something you are unaware of how to achieve.

I guess you should inform yourself before bashing me, in case you don't know what is smart invert, I would suggest you to google "smart invert IOS11" IT'S NOT NEGATIVE COLORS, and I know how to access it already on the S8 anyway. HUH

As post above. Substratum now works on s8 with no root optimized for samsung experience. Try it guys it works well.

Right but not for system ui or system apps unless you ARE rooted.
There are themes in development for Substratum Samsung that should be able to theme both system and third party apps, it will just take time as Subs for stock touchwiz is still very new.
