Hey,
You can hide the navbar by adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" without the quotations to the end of the build.prop in the /system folder. You need to be rooted of course.This will remove the home return bar on the bottom so you'll be using your full screen space with none used by your navbar. Only do this is you are using a third party app like Button Savior or GMD GestureControl to navigate between screens though so you don't open something and get stuck there. Just make sure you backup your build.prop in case you make an error somehow, messing with it the wrong way can cause a bootloop but it can be fixed by flashing your rom or the stock android again though I had zero issues when I did this.
Hope this helps some, saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985592 tried it and it works for the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi.
Peace.
P.S. In my Nova Launcher Prime I can hide my Status Bar and Dock as well, nothing but full screen if I want. Not sure how to do that on a custom rom or on stock though.
I've been looking for this, to use the ribbons on Carbon, I know it's stock supposed but I'll give it a try, thanks.
Edit: Guess what? It worked like a charm, easily with AOKP, the bottom swipe ribbon doesn't work thou, but that doesn't have anything to do with it. Thanks for sharing this.
tried on kitkat under ART. Not working.:crying:

kodiak, how did u deodex it?
You don't need to deodex. Grab the 4.2.1-TabletUI.zip from the following link (Post 912) and apply in recovery. Laucher is messed up but Nova Launcher free works great.

you could also install paranoid android, where you can choose which layout (phone, phablet, tablet...) you wish to use, you can even set layouts for individual apps or app groups (e.g. Launcher + google mail in tablet mode, other apps stay phablet)

I am currently running paranoid androids latet rom, and the main thing I'm struggling with is that the 3 buttons (back, home, and the 3rd button that brings up recent apps) are centered, when I want them on the let side. Does the patch fix that?
Also, is there a way to remove the lock screen tiles? I think I saw other threads saying that this change was related to the lawsuit but didn't find anything that allows you to take those off. At the very least I'd want to change the font if I have to keep it.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes the tablet patch takes the 2 seperate nav bar and task bar and puts them to the bottom like they should be imho.
I dont even run the lock screen so I cant answer that question.

In Paranoid settings, change the UI to Tablet UI (mid) and you'll have the navigation bar buttons to the left hand side like you want.
Also, the way to get rid of the lockscreen tiles is to install Lockscreen Policy.

I am totally new to all of this so what I need is the simplest and safest way to remove the bottom bar? I know I need to root the device so I am looking for the simplest way. Also I am looking for a gesture app that when I swipe from the bottom of the screen up it brings up the bottom bar. What I don't want is any upward swipe to bring up the bottom. If anyone has used BB tablet that is exactly what I am looking for.
This has been covered before.
Use LMT.apk for gestures or pie. Use fullscreentoggle.apk to remove the navbar.

This is what I used, follow the link and instructions. You will need a root explorer to get to build.prop. however THIS IS NOT PERMANET. if you decide you want the navbar back just go back in the build.prop and delete the line that you have added.
And i dont know why the fullscreen.apk didnt work.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LMT GESTURES OR PIE SET UP BEFOREHAND BECAUSE YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE A NAVBAR (if you use this mod that is)

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if exist any method or mod to hide the navigation bar on the stock-rooted 4.2.2 ROM? I tried with fullscreen+piecontrol pro, but there is a conflict between fullscreen and piecontrol pro, the last one does not show the notifications...
I know the cyanogenmod and the paranoid roms can do that, but i am trying to preserve the original stock rom...
greetings!!

I did it!!! and its very easy!

Add this line to your build.prop- qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Then use LMT Launcher.

will you listen if someone tells you this is crazy?
you want to preserve the polish of your stock rom, ...by installing a hack? thats like stomping on it. not to mention that its limited.
not many people know this, and this may come as a surprise to you, but nexus roms base on AOSP. in other words, that is stock android you're dealing with. theres no way to do it cleaner, you take android sourcecode, supplied by google, you add google supplied vendor files, and you extend it in a clean way. you end up with a coherent, sane system. you will not loose the polish that you know from stock. its not a clunky do it yourself makeshift solution, it feels and behaves as if its part of the whole.
watch a couple of these vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/molesarecoming/videos?flow=grid&view=0
neither lmt nor any root hack can do it. you really wanna go that way still?

i understand you. what im saying is, instead you take a nicely designed, coherent OS, and you smash it against the wall and stomp on it. by installing dirty hacks that is. theres nothing stock anymore after that treatment, you're dealing with root apps here running all the time, sucking your battery dry, ramping up your cpu. with smali hacks that erode your framework and fragment your android anyway, so its not updatable by OTA. you're going for the dirtiest solution possible thinking you'll stay clean. it just makes no sense.

I found the FullScreen Toggle in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
I already know the solution, but the concern is that the screen flashes when moving in such an application message, contact, etc ... it's a shame because this is the only application that does exactly what is being asked, just hide the navigation bar while keeping the tray.
Simple app to hide nav bar and replace it with transparent buttons on the corners
This app called "full!screen" is a quick and easy way to get rid of the nav bar. It (optionally) replaces the buttons with transparent buttons on the lower right and left corners. Very customizable and stable, but it needs root.

You can now hide soft keys (and keep notification bar) without modifications and reboots. Just try my new app:
GMD Hide Soft Keys
It also adds Quick NavBar - soft keys that can be openede with simple swipe from bottom and they autohide when not needed.
I have a brand new Nexus 5 which I immediately flashed Omnirom(Nov 15th Nightly) onto. And the process went off without a hitch.
But the "remove" button does not show up when I long press a widget/icon on the homescreen in order to remove it. According to google, the only other instance of this error was on a Amazon Fire also on Omnirom(but there's no solution given).
Of course, I could be missing an obvious setting or something, so any advice would be helpful.
Thank you.

I will admit I don't use the default launcher, but did you try dragging the icon to the top (or bottom? I can't remember) of the screen? On Apex, dragging the icon to the top is the removal action. On some launchers, you'll see a trashcan appear somewhere when hold-dragging an icon.

There is no remove button. Just drag to the top it will become red which means it is removed.

Thanks guys. The remove button is at the top but it's invisible for some reason. (Weirdly, it's visible while editing widgets in the lockscreen)
And on the subject of custom launchers, could you guys recommend the most stable launcher for Omnirom?

On stock launcher this happens for me when you hide the search bar in settings.
It seems like the "remove" icon is also hidden if the checkbox is unchecked.
If you select to display the searchbar the icon will appear again.

I am currently using CM13 on my Nexus 6P, and really liking it. However, was wondering if there is a way to lock/freeze the homescreen on the trebuchet launcher so that I don't accidentally move or resize my widgets. I remember older CM versions having this option baked in, but don't see it here. Using Xposed Mods like Gel or Gravitybox either don't work or don't provide the option. Does anyone know of a way, either manually or via a mod, to lock/freeze the widgets on the trebuchet homescreen?
Also, is there a way to disable the pager buttons?
