There is an app, personally I used AOKP toggles on the Nexus 7 (im sure it will come to 4 soon) or in systemUI theres an XML you can edit (no clue which...) and set navigation bar height to something lower like 40 odd. 96 was stock on GNEX and 48 was stock on Nexus 7. Idk what's going to be stock on this device so make sure its not unsuitable

This is what i want to do, but for the entire system, maybe by long pressing the power button
Read this:
n Android 4.0, the APIs updated with new flags of SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, that requests the navigation bar hide completely. Be aware that this works only for the navigation bar used by some handsets (it does not hide the system bar on tablets). The navigation bar returns to view as soon as the system receives user input.
You can also use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE flag, to enables “low profile" mode for the system bar or navigation bar. Navigation buttons dim and other elements in the system bar also hide. Enabling this is useful for creating more immersive games without distraction for the system navigation buttons, and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE flag to request the system bar or navigation bar be visible.

There's a AOKP ROM for the Nexus 4 which has
Nav Bar Transparency
Nav Bar Button Reorder: Back-Home-Search-Menu
Nav Bar Color Picker
Nav Bar Button Glow Duration: Off, Fast, Slow
Nav Bar: Long press to Search button
Nav Bar Hide on Lockscreen
So if you use that ROM with an app like HideBar it should meet all of your needs.

I would also want to know how to make the nav bar and even notification trasnparent

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.

How Do I Hide the Software Keys?

I want to use PIE control instead. Is there some kind of build.prop mod or something that hides the nav bar?

Might be worth going for a custom ROM that has PIE. All you then have to do is switch to Expanded Desktop and there you have it!?
You'll find many ROMs that do PIE. There is also a launcher that does that, it's called LMT Launcher. You will find it here on XDA.

I don't want to flash a whole new ROM. I just want the PIE control and nav bar removal. PIE control has a Play Store app so I don't need to flash that but I know there has to be some kind of simple mod to remove the nav bar.

Ah, ok, didn't realize there was an app for it.
How about this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970

It seems to force tablet UI, but the nav bar still remains. I know there was a way to make the nav bar appear for the Note 2 so there has to be a way to hide the nav bar for the Nexus 7.

download LMT launcher, it's been around longer than PIE has and doesn't require any specific rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

you can go into google playstore and search for PieControl Pro. There is a free version and a pro version for $1.99

So can this hide the nav bar?

Flash ParanoidAndroid ROM it has built in PIE navigation in Quick Settings so when you tap on it your navigation bar hides and PIE control activates and if you are worried about Tablet UI you can turn it off any time you want. =)

are you on the stock rom? not sure if LMT can hide the navigation menu. you may as well just flash any other rom since almost every other rom lets you hide the navigation menu anyways. LMT is also way more customizable than PIE.

At the end of build prop add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Save and exit, I don't believe it works on stock rom though but I could be wrong.
I use this on roms that don't have it built in navbar hide built in, and I use lmt launcher, because I prefer it to pie.

[Q] Navigation Bar and Lockscreen

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.

Looking for rom

I'm looking for a rom that has a status bar at the top while pie control is active. Something like what's in the photo.
I've tried PA maybe I couldn't find the option.
Sent from my Nexus 4

Carbon, aokp, liquid.
But I'm fairly sure PA has it too.

You have to go to "Hybrid properties" swipe your finger to the right and click on interface. You will see two options, choosing the Nav. Bar option drag the blue bar all the way down to zero hit apply and enable pie.

CM 10.1 can do that.

I use CM 10.1, nova launcher, and I can have that.
Active extended desktop with CM 10.1 options (then active it with a long press on power button). Then, in Nova, make an action for double tap (or any gesture you like) that hide or show status bar.
And it rocks. You can have only navbar, only statusbar, or both, your call, very quickly.
(sorry for my bad English, feel free to help me ^^ )
