So I've seen apps for ICS and HC that would hide the ugly, huge black system bar at the bottom.
I've also seen a cool launcher that would hide it, and system buttons would appear from the side (slide in) when needed.
I wouldn't want to switch from my Nova Launcher, anybody knows of a way to do that?
(I need it for my 2 year old, who keeps hitting "home" when playing, and then yells at me :laugh: )

Are custom ROMs an option? If so you could try any that allows expanded desktop, then use PIE controls.
Indeed, I ended up using Pacman ROM with PIE controls.
Is it ROM specific, or is PIE a separate app?

PIE is possible due to code implemented into the ROM. Several other ROMs also include PIE controls such as ParanoidAndroid (which I use) and recently CM. Alternatively, you can get PIE controls separately i.e., not from a ROM by installing LMT launcher.
I see. I do wish it'd be released as a flashable, so that it could be used for any ROM people like.
Modular approach and freedom of code!! =)

Yeah I tried that, don't like it. AFAIR it forces you to use their apps and games, which I don't like. My kid only likes grown-up games like NFS and logic puzzles of different kinds =) He has no idea what to do there, but he still loves em for some reason.
Do you have test full!screen ?
It work like PIE control i think. I tested this work fine but i'not like "design button") but you can activate or desactivate it easily.

kodiak, how did u deodex it?
You don't need to deodex. Grab the 4.2.1-TabletUI.zip from the following link (Post 912) and apply in recovery. Laucher is messed up but Nova Launcher free works great.

you could also install paranoid android, where you can choose which layout (phone, phablet, tablet...) you wish to use, you can even set layouts for individual apps or app groups (e.g. Launcher + google mail in tablet mode, other apps stay phablet)

I am currently running paranoid androids latet rom, and the main thing I'm struggling with is that the 3 buttons (back, home, and the 3rd button that brings up recent apps) are centered, when I want them on the let side. Does the patch fix that?
Also, is there a way to remove the lock screen tiles? I think I saw other threads saying that this change was related to the lawsuit but didn't find anything that allows you to take those off. At the very least I'd want to change the font if I have to keep it.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes the tablet patch takes the 2 seperate nav bar and task bar and puts them to the bottom like they should be imho.
I dont even run the lock screen so I cant answer that question.

In Paranoid settings, change the UI to Tablet UI (mid) and you'll have the navigation bar buttons to the left hand side like you want.
Also, the way to get rid of the lockscreen tiles is to install Lockscreen Policy.

Hi guys.
My Nexus 4 is arriving and I'm for sure not gonna run stock. I've been doing some research but yet decided which custom ROMs to try (too many).
I'd like a ROM with these features:
- quick settings mod
- advanced power menu
- volume rocker wake
- safe headset volume
- expandable/expanded volume panel
- expanded desktop
- t9 dialer
I've found only Xylon that has all those features. Which other ROMs have you guys tried that also have those all (or one or two less, if so please specify)?
Thanks a lot in advance

I think ParanoidAndroid has all those
What is expanded desktop exactly? Like a larger grid size? I think just about any custom rom has these. I like CM personally with Banks' gapps.

It hides the navigation bar and comes in handy when we play games, they run in complete fullscreen. I don't wanna mispress those navbar button while play games such as fruit ninja
Edit: a video to demonstrate. Things get started at around 1:30
I have one more question: can we have access to clock app (or any user-defined app) when pressing the clock above the notification/quicksettings in PA? And quick reply?
I'm on AOKP. It has all those options except expanded desktop. You can hide nav. buttons though.

It goes into date settings which is pretty stupid. I didn't even know you can tap it. I'm gonna change it to the real clock thanks for the idea. And yes it has quick reply.

Ahhh I see now. Never tried it, seems like it would be a hassle to toggle it off/on for everyday use. Maybe it's just the way someone uses their device.
Hi everybody,
I was wondering if exist any method or mod to hide the navigation bar on the stock-rooted 4.2.2 ROM? I tried with fullscreen+piecontrol pro, but there is a conflict between fullscreen and piecontrol pro, the last one does not show the notifications...
I know the cyanogenmod and the paranoid roms can do that, but i am trying to preserve the original stock rom...

will you listen if someone tells you this is crazy?
you want to preserve the polish of your stock rom, ...by installing a hack? thats like stomping on it. not to mention that its limited.
not many people know this, and this may come as a surprise to you, but nexus roms base on AOSP. in other words, that is stock android you're dealing with. theres no way to do it cleaner, you take android sourcecode, supplied by google, you add google supplied vendor files, and you extend it in a clean way. you end up with a coherent, sane system. you will not loose the polish that you know from stock. its not a clunky do it yourself makeshift solution, it feels and behaves as if its part of the whole.
watch a couple of these vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/molesarecoming/videos?flow=grid&view=0
neither lmt nor any root hack can do it. you really wanna go that way still?

i understand you. what im saying is, instead you take a nicely designed, coherent OS, and you smash it against the wall and stomp on it. by installing dirty hacks that is. theres nothing stock anymore after that treatment, you're dealing with root apps here running all the time, sucking your battery dry, ramping up your cpu. with smali hacks that erode your framework and fragment your android anyway, so its not updatable by OTA. you're going for the dirtiest solution possible thinking you'll stay clean. it just makes no sense.

I already know the solution, but the concern is that the screen flashes when moving in such an application message, contact, etc ... it's a shame because this is the only application that does exactly what is being asked, just hide the navigation bar while keeping the tray.
Simple app to hide nav bar and replace it with transparent buttons on the corners
This app called "full!screen" is a quick and easy way to get rid of the nav bar. It (optionally) replaces the buttons with transparent buttons on the lower right and left corners. Very customizable and stable, but it needs root.

You can now hide soft keys (and keep notification bar) without modifications and reboots. Just try my new app:
GMD Hide Soft Keys
It also adds Quick NavBar - soft keys that can be openede with simple swipe from bottom and they autohide when not needed.
I just want a clean stock rom with a smaller navigation bar/soft keys so that I go to use my nexus like in expanded desktop on custom rom but still be able to use drag down notification bar.
Any suggestion guys on how am I able to do that?
Expanded desktop can be set to only hide the nav bar in some roms. I use that in SlimBean.

A stock ROM + Expanded Desktop = Not a stock ROM anymore.

I know certain ROMs come with extended desktop/pie controls but is there a flashable mod anywhere with that feature? If so, can something like that be ported to the Nexus 10 for use on the Project Flaming Monkey ROM? I wish PFM and ParanoidAndroid merged: that ROM would be perfect.
Try this. I've been using it on my N10 for a couple of weeks & it works fine. I haven't tried a custom ROM yet so not sure how it compares to the pie controls in those. The developer says he'll be adding more functionality soon. He also made it available free to xda members here. It's a couple bucks in the Play Store.

I'm using Purity ROM with Trinity Kernel. (see my signature for links). Flash the free LMT zip which has adds PIE plus more desktop extensions. I also bought Smart Statusbar+ for an auto hide statusbar.

Have fun.
I've used LMT in the past, when I've tried other ROMs. I always find myself back using AOKP ribbons. For whatever reason I dig it. LMT has a ton of functionality though. Also, if you use nova launcher, it can hide the status bar. I like to hide my status bar and the nav bar and use the bottom ribbon for nav controls.
I use Full!Screen and like it very much.
I just wish it wouldn't constantly pop up screen notifications saying that it was granted super user privileges, even when it's not in use.
