I would like to be able to swipe a certain spot on my screen and switch to expanded desktop is there a way for me to setup a shortcut like that?
I have searched the web and i cant find any free simple ways of doing this so some help would be great.
I am using cyanogenmod

There's no simple way to do that unfortunately. Might be a good option to have available from the Nav Ring (quick launch targets) now that you mention it however. As far as how to code that, not a clue.
The most efficient, currently availalbe, way I've found is to have an expanded desktop quick settings tile. I can open the quick settings panel with a gesture from a launcher screen and select it from there.
Can't you do this with the app gesture control?
Ok ignore that. Just checked and you can only hide status bar. Not enter expanded desktop mode

Flat out, is there any way to modify the Navigation Bar at the bottom of the screen on the Razr M?
I really just want to change the order of the buttons, having the capacitive buttons is cool and all, but the Home button being directly in the middle and BELOW the space bar in most typing applications has led to some frustration as far as I'm concerned.
I know custom ROMs will have different implementations of this, but I'm not interested in that at the moment.
Rooted Stock Jelly Bean.
Any info is helpful thanks!
CM10 does it just fine.
settings -> system -> navigation bar

yea, the stock just doesn't have options for it. maybe when CM10 hits beta, but I'd rather not go without functionality at the moment.
You can use securelock app to hide system bar with the combination of button savior app to do the customization. It works for me

Finally to make it work you have to use 5 apps
Full!screen: to hide navigations (top and bottom) but you loose notifications (gmail, google talk, sms...), incoming calls and alarm.
Custom alarm app:
Full hd id: for incoming calls
Button saver: for system navigation
Pop notification: for gmail...notifications.
I don't know if it worth it

Hey,
Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the on screen buttons on the nexus 4?
You can do it on the last nexus, and by using a gesture be able to get them to show up.
Kinda sucks that the nexus 4 has a 4.7inch screen, but usable size (unless watching videos) is only around 4.4inches.
On parandroid Rom you have the option to expand the screen,will serve for you!

cheers mate
Can use LMT which either allows you to use swiping gestures for command input (such as on screen button actions) or pie (gesture creates a half circle on side of screen with buttons). Once you have that, you can use the fullscreentoggle apk (both apps are on XDA, just Google) and remove the buttons. Works great for me for the most part. Had a few cases where LMT crashed and I had to reboot the phone due to not being able to back out of an app to restart LMT.
You need root for these as well.
How u gonna go home or go back if u don't have those buttons? Just curious?

Cyanogenmod has the ability to do it too by accessing the power menu and selecting 'Expanded Desktop'

With a gesture.
See it here:

You can use the full screen toggle app which works on stock rooted rom. It's not in the market.
Here's the apk:

'Button savior' works too, just make sure to install it before using the full screen toggle app and rebooting:silly:
Or just do it yourself by going to system/build.prop using Root Explorer and add this to the very end and save (and reboot):
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

What is this command line use for ?
Auto hide the screen buttons ?
On parandroid pressing the power button you have the option,so its not a problem...
Is there a way to just make the buttons transparent but still usable?
Try GMD gesture control!
I'm using it since my galaxy s3.
I was searching for the same answer and tripped over this by mistake actually. There is an gesture to turn the status bar off. I was just messing around with the gestures a bit and when I used the status bar gesture suddenly the on screen buttons disappeared with the status Bar. Was really pleasantly surprised!

hi. so is there any way to auto hide the navigation buttons with no root?
If you're running 4.4 and an app allows immersive mode, then the nav bar will hide. Otherwise, no, you have to be rooted then install something like gravity box and enable expandable desktop.

i have a streaming app that doesn't work with rooted devices! this is my problem with root!
Being rooted has so many benefits though. There's a xposed module called rootcloak which hides root from certain apps, allowing them to work.

search for a program that enables and disables buttons. i found such programs when i had the same problem. as far as i remember there is also a file you can edit for disabling enabling the buttons.
for me none of that worked and i had to reinstall android!
Sorry but i don't remember the specific instructions or programs to guide you but i hope i helped a little.
good luck!
edit: i found in my bookmarks a video that might help you

I assume you are on custom rom since you have pie controls and expanded desktop mod. just try dirty flash your rom
