Been using it since root was achieved and it works great.

It works as advertised. Honestly I wish I could keep the constant sift keys and just shrink them down a little.

Where is this option ?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

I tried this app out and didn't like that I had to have the recent apps button so I uninstalled it. Now my status bar is stuck at 50% transparency. Any fix other than build prop?

So this app replaces the menu button with a recent apps button?

I mentioned this in my root thread, when someone asked what I used to hide my soft keys lol. LMT is also another alternative.

It's a replacement navbar, so yeah. Also more customizable.

Check out LMT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
it is amazing software and doesn't require a specific rom.

I used option 2. The I've with the nexus 4. I have restored the lmt backup with titanium backup for the last 2 phones I've owned and I haven't had to switch it off of that option.

I been searching for this answer and have yet to find it. Is there an update?
There is no brightness slider on Verizon.
Best I've got was the brightness button on the notification bar. It has 0, 50, 100, and a custom setting (whatever display is set to in settings). I have mine set to 25. I use 50 normally, 100 outside, and 25 at night. Works well.

You aren't using stock launcher. Transparency only works with stock launcher.

Softkeys

Is there a way to make the soft keys at the bottom of the display transparent?

Only when using the stock launcher, and only on the home screen. The setting is under Display.

I should have been more clear. Sorry. Would it be possible to modify the build.pop file to make the softkeys always transparent and smaller.

My old GNex had transparent navigation bar for the last year with AOKP rom.
So...is it possible? Absolutely.
I don't code so I can't comment as to what it would take...

Try to change screen lock to Swipe if you are using some other method.
That worked !

Hey guys!
Is it possible to change the appearance of the lockscreen shortcut icons?
I'm not talking about swaping an app for another app, that I know I can do.
What I would really like to do is editing the icon and changing it's appearance (same way that is done in the home screen).
That would be really nice!
Thanks!

It's not nova that does the transparency it is the G2 xposed mods. It does a ton of customizations. Check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528304 it works with a lot of launchers not just nova. (I have only tried the Google experience one and nova)

I was just going to post how did you get your notification bar too look like that. I realized that the lg one should still be intact even if you change the launcher. Good Job hopefully we can get some of that soon.

Same answer as above http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48129802&postcount=11 it is apart of the G2 Xposed mod. That thing is awesome! You can also add different items to the navigation bar. I added recent apps
I have never rooted a device before I don't trust myself to do it correctly
