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, I have GMD but whenever I lock my home screen after unlocking the nav buttons are back and touch control doen't seem to work on 4.3. Any advice? I don't want a custom ROM althought I am rooted and using a custom Kernel.
Could somebody please help me? I have the new version of AOKP and I hate having the transparent nav bar and status bar. I cannot figure out how to turn it off. Is it even possible to turn off?

Go to rom control general ui, select transparency settings, uncheck match lockscreen alpha, move homescreen alpha down then back to 100% and lockscreen alpha to 100% and there you go.
Thanks! I can't believe I didn't see that!

I want to hide Navigation Bar and status bar not to make them transparent, i have tried widgetlocker but it just hides nav bar buttons and not the bar.
Tried PA3.01 expand mode but its kinda buggy or not working well when i choose to go to home screen it opens it twice and doing some lag too. flashed different roms but no rom had a feature to disable nav bar only on lockscreen, aokp had this feature but it was buggy as well so they removed it instead of fixing.
Need help, thanks.
I'm running PA3.1 and its running just fine, no problems at all. Give it another go! And to hide the nav bar, just set the size to 0% in Hybrid Settings.

thank you!
Gravity box for xposed framework has a section to tweak the navbar. It also has an expanded desktop feature which can hide the status bar/navbar and use pie control.

Hi you,
How can you hide the status bar, and then how to start?
Is there a running application without suspending the system?
Thanks for the reply
