[Q] Long press menu key for google now? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this possible with the stock launcher? Maybe with an additional app? Trying to stay as stock as possible and would rather not switch to something like nova which I believe has this capability.

Slide up on home button for Google now. That's how all navigation bars are...

Sense 2.0, revert to 1.0 notification bar/menu?

I might be the only one that doesn't like the notification bar with the quick access menu and list of recently used apps. I prefer the old version coupled with using widgetsoid instead to have only the settings I want/need, and not take up half the pull-down menu with the recent apps.
Is it possible to revert only the notification bar, or delete the quick access/recent apps options?
Not sure but i love that bar it makes finding the app I use most often ez like wifi tether.

True, but how is it any different than holding down the home button for 2 seconds?
Its really not in any way but i always forget that you can hold down the home button for 2sec but i am constantly reminded where my recent apps are every time i get a text,email or missed call...... Maybe thats just me though i can see how you would not like it.

Yeah I hate that new pull down bar it was a good idea but I'm so use to using the home key that even on a GB ROM I still use the home key

Damn, assuming that no response can only mean that it's impossible. That's a shame, really liked sense beyond this issue.

[Q] Modify the Navigation Bar?

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

Nexus 4 permanent full screen (no on screen buttons)

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.

Navi bar doesnt work in some apps

I'm using android version 4.3. I noticed that the 'back' key in the navigation bar does not work in some apps. Especially go sms pro and EX dialer. Is anyone facing similar problems as well? Or is it the app itself is causing the glitch?

Hotspot button on homescreen?

Is there a way to add a hotspot button to my homescreen? On my S III I had a button that got to the homescreen that took me to my hotspot screen so I could quickly change settings and enable it. Is there a way to get this feature on the s5?
Just downloaded the app Anycut from the play store. Makes any shortcut you need.
