You don't need an app, If you're rooted go into your system folder, then edit your build.prop and add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 at the very bottom. Then save and reboot. Your softkeys will be gone. I recommend installing Ultimate Dynamic Navbar after that, because it allows you to set it up to where you can make the softkeys popup through swiping from the bottom edge, and then they go back into hiding.

did this as well but after adding this line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" it revert back,have you tried this?
some says this is not applicable in official 4.3
some info
-nexus 4 (rooted,all in stock 4.3)

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 works fine for me on stock jwr66v.

GMD hide bar works on rooted stock 4.3.
I'll try to edit the file as mentioned but if it works how to revert to stock? Placing 0 instead of 1? Can't remove the navbat while not knowing how to get it back.

Remove the line altogether. But before adding the line to remove the softkeys, make sure you have an alternate started, like LMT

Were you able to save the edited build.prop file? Make sure you have given the editor root access with rw permissions, then edit the build.prop and reboot phone

Yeah LMT is cool...but I've just downloaded ultimate dynamic navbar was playing with it a few minutes ago ..brilliant idea that app lol...the pro version is also for free here at xda and payed at playstore haha
Will catch you after reboot

Nope..something is wrong..my phone was bricked ..I've edited the build.prop via rootexplorer and text editor..added the line..save and reboot..the phone doesn't start..I've installed the factory image again..doesn't have much data to be concerned. But I should have did a backup first

Phone Crashes After Adding Line to build.prop
I attempted to add the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" line to my build.prop using Root Explorer and Build Prop Editor and when I reboot my phone constantly shows a message saying that my systemui has stopped working. Then after my phone goes to sleep, it does not turn back on.
Any one know what could be causing this?
I am using PIE through an Xposed module but I keep getting the below message and was told that if I add this line the message will disappear.

How do you disable OTA updates on Nexus 7?

I am on stock 4.1.2. I recently flashed back from 4.2. I do not want to update as I found it extremely buggy. I keep getting a notification to update and it is annoying. Anyone know how to disable it?

You need to root
Then do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998378&highlight=disable
If you don't use sync you can also force stop "Google Service Framework"
BUT... this way isn't recommended by most... but it worked for me before rooting, would stop it for days, then it might come back after a while
Search for fotakill.apk in Google search. Place it in system/app using ES File Explorer or other file app (if using ES make sure to go into preferences - root options and enable all selections available). Change permission from RW to:
R W E
R W
R W
Then tap the app in system/app to install it. After install reboot to custom recovery and wipe cache. Reboot. Once it reboots you might still see the icon for system update. Clear the notification. If you check for an update after that it should say up to date.

Thanks for the comments! I am not wanting to root at this time because I am enjoying how this is running. So I hope this post will stay here if I place in my favs to come back to if I ever root. I will do the framework thing for now. I doubt I will be updating to 4.2. I noticed my offline GPS was not working on Google maps after updating to 4.2. So many problems with that update. Glad I went back. Thanks again! You guys rock!

For what it's worth, I used the Google provided 4.1.2 files and scripts to go back from 4.2.1 so an expensive app would work on the Nexus 7. I have not yet locked the bootloader if this makes any difference. What I then did was install System Tuner Pro. From the menu in that app, go to System (red android symbol), find Google Services Framework and click on it to highlight it. Then at the bottom of the screen choose Settings and turn off Notifications and then Disable it. You can simply go back, I suppose, and Enable which is that the box says now. After doing this it will show that as frozen.
So I have not rooted my Nexus 7 and this seems to stop the OTA prompts for updates. I'm unclear what else this stops, but I'm not using much involving Google syncing, so probably not any harm. (You can also use System Tuner Pro to backup up your user apps and it writes these backups to the sd card. I have not tried to restore them yet, having no need.)

I rooted my phone because...

Wanted to start a thread to see why people rooted their phones.
I rooted my Moto x because of the severe volume warning. I like to use a battery bar instead of the stock indicator. I like the crt screen off function in gravity box. I like a reboot menu....sometimes I want to reboot, ok?
I do several things with my rooted phone, but my big 3 that I can't seem to live without.
1. Free Wifi Tethering
2. Uninstalling/Freezing bloatware and Greenifying the rest
3. Backing up app data and games
1. Removal of bloatware and greenify
2. Xposed framework
3. Geek cred

Just a little humor. Coolness factor among fellow geeks.
Finally decided to root, since jcase released post ota root method.
I wanted root to.
1) debloat/greenify
2) allow tasker to toggle GPS
3) xposed framework
4) separate volume controls ie. Separate ring and notification volume.
5) minor tweaks like center clock, battery icon, remove carrier logo etc...

Battery bar? I've been looking for a way (xposed mod?) to get that thin 100% width line to show battery level. Is that what you're talking about?
1 - xposed framework, more specifically XUImod, listview animations and status bar colors
2 - TB
3 - debloat
To fix the wifi icon spacing and remove the carrier label.
to add the pull down quick settings from a right swipe
Strictly to get the idiotic att logo out of my status bar

Yeah, I root, install xposed framework, install gravity box, under status bar tweaks you can disable the battery icon and then install t.e.a.m. battery bar from google play.
Sixaxis app and gravity box for status bar tweaks and adding/rearranging quick settings.

How did you guys get xposed to work. After using rockmymoto xposed says the installation failed because system was read only.
I tried root explorer to remount as r/w but no luck.

I believe you need to go into recovery and set the system r/w, so much easier when your boot loader is unlocked

i believe you have reboot recovery to make system writeable as with pwnmymoto. I haven't gotten this far yet to test. So, power off, hold vol down and power for 5 seconds, choose recovery with vol down, then vol up to select it. system should reboot r/w. hope this helps.
I rooted my phone because I use ad blocker, every once in a while I backup apps when switching ROMs and for some additional functions of Tasker.

[APP] Android L Launcher

Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !

UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

When you say, "set it to L", you ARE referring to the property value under where it says ro.build.etc.... correct?

No i did not, i just installed given apk (it updated current google now launcher), and changed build.prop
anyway, i tryed to fix premisions, and delete the google launcher from the app folder from recovery, but still rebooting continued.
and while trying to fix the build.prop from the recovery, i funked the system a bit, so a reflashed the whole rom again, so I'm back at the begining... (no new launcher, but tab works fine...)

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.
I will check that, thank you for trying and sorry if you got any problems because of me.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

And after a week I came to know that gmail is get fc's every time
I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app

How to add mobile data toggle to the notification panel

1. Download and Install quick panel manager ( attached )
2. Open the app and tap EDIT on the upper right corner
3. In the script add [MobileData;] after any toggle you want
( for example in the picture I added it after AutoRotate )
4. Tap save and done !
Note :
* You can edit any other toggle you want in the notification panel with this app. For example you can add mobile hostspot and other setting toggles.
* After new firmware update the app is always required. If you uninstall app the toggle will be removed after restarting phone. So use the app and then hide it .
Worked like a charm

You can use the app and then uninstall the app
the app is only required once and then you can uninstall it after you edit the status bar
I have searched alot and this is the only method that worked for me

Yes it works for me but if I want to restore factory defaults the toggles are removed.
I want to make displaying toggles perminant.
For hotpot the spelling is WifiHotspot;
If anyone needs the spelling for anything else I can get it. I had a snapshot of everything but lost it when my ROM crashed. You can open all toggles with an older version of gtidonetheapps. What's crazy is I'm running a stock ROM so don't have the Xposed installer but sometimes when I reboot my phone it will be there and when I open this app it runs as Xposed and shows all the toggles.
Or you could use this app
