How do I theme on screen buttons - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title says it all I have googled a few different wordings and haven't found anything. I also searched the play store for a theme pack. Does anyone know of a tutorial or a link that could help me?

Hi,
Take a look here, there is an "How to" and a collection of navbar icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005937
Also some roms like AOKP or AOKP based roms allow you to change the icons, it's built in the rom in the settings, you just need to put your nav bar icons on your "SD Card"...

I think he is referring to the back/home/recent apps buttons. Try Paranoid Android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020336

toggles on notification bar

Hi,
The notification bar of the stock Nexus 7 rom is really useless except the notifications. Is there any way to add toggles like Samsung Galaxy series phones to the notification bar ?
also, in description of some custom roms, I read:
Custom Navbar Targets (Up to 7)
Custom Navbar Ring Targets (Up to 5)
What does that mean ?
Thanks.

Thank you. That's a good one. Although I was looking for a something integrated to the systemUI, Power Toggles does what I need.

there's always notification toggle as well, which should do exactly what you're looking for
Best way to get the integrated experience is to use AOKP or CM10 (or one of the variants).

what do you mean by "integrated experience" ?
do I have to wipe data when passing from Stock 4.1.2 to any custom rom (4.1.2) ?

The only way to get then built into the systemui is to flash a rom that has em. Yes you will need to wipe data going from stock to cm10 or aokp. I would suggest buying titanium backup and use that to backup all your apps. Then once reflashed on your custom Rom reinstall TiBu and restore apps you absolutely need data from like games. And then just restore the app only for apps you don't needs data from.

Try this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...rch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qaW0yIl0.
I use SwitchPro Widget rather than ones that come with the roms. Plenty of custom options. Well worth the price.

notification toggle
There is actually an app called "notification toggle" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwiZGUuajR2ZWxpbi5ub3RpZmljYXRpb25Ub2dnbGUiXQ..
no linky.
+1 for notification toggle..good app.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
+2 for 'Notification Toggle' in Play Store. Unbelievable # of choices, including single-digit battery %, user apps, all the normal toggles.
thanks for all the solutions , apps that are suggested on this thread.
I've tried most of them and they seem to be working as requested.
However, the best solution is to use a rom with integrated features.
I've used Cookies&Cream 10/16 1.3.1 and it's fine enough.
thank you all...
Power Toggles, Notification Toggles, 1TapQuickBar and Notification Bar Deluxe are all I know

Nav bar mod?

Hi there
Is there anyway to move the Nav bar to the top? I currently have my DPI at 175, running stock. I've tried looking at features and reviews of certain Roms, but nothing showing or telling me what I need to know.
So could anybody tell me if nav bar can be moved to the top of the screen? Preferably using stock? If not, which rom will allow me to do this? Also modding the icons would be awesome. Ie changing battery icon, etc. It says in ROM toolbox lite that I can change it, but it doesn't let me?
Any ideas or tips would be awesome.
Thanx in advance. Sorry for the noobness and for bringing up a post like this if there's one of these already

Actually never mind.
I just read abit more in the forums and found an app GMD gesture to just hide the nav bar instead of trying to move the nav bar to the top.
Either keep topic here for others who might find the idea useful, otherwise just delete
Cheers

Go to pa preferences/apps find your launcher and change the transparency of navbar & status bar there. Also on the interface page. Scroll to the bottom & do the same thing there.

Auto-hide Status bar

I have searched and havent been able to find anything on this. I am currently using the PACman ROM on my nexus 4 and I love it. But I tried the ROM cyankang and that one has this feature built into the ROM is there a way to put this in the pacman ROM or any other ROM on my own?

There many roms with this feature but If you want to stay on PAC ROM and want to have that feature, use Nova launcher it has that feature to hide the status bar.

Since you're rooted you can use autohide soft keys from the Play Store. It hides the Nav bar and you activate it by swiping up from the bottom. It takes ten minutes to get used to it. And while you're at it..You can hide the status bar on a per app base with the app settings module. You have to install the xposed framework first (and put the uninstaller on your sd, search it here on xds). You can then activate the status bar on swipe with smart status bar from the store.
Might take a while to set up this from scratch, but you end up with a screen without any buttons or bars as long as you don't call them. You asked for the transparent Navbar, I recommend the invisible one. See Screenshot to see what my nova settings, my browser (and every other app on my phone) look like, with bars hidden and bars called.

Its a wallpaper that comes with the G2. When you select a wallpaper, you can choose it as an option for where you want to get your wallpaper for.
I can confirm this works for me as well. Im using Action Launcher, and the status bar is transparent when i use Multi-Wallpaper.
the aicp rom for verizon phones does this. its awesome. not sure if its avail for tmo.

Did you mean "multi-photo" mode to set wallpaper? I've tried it on Apex Launcher but the navigation bar didn't become transparent [and yes I've enabled transparent bar in the display setting already]. Am I missing something here?
