I had a similar post about this, this week and got no responses. Hopefully someone will actually respond to this one. Not that I have my phone anyway its somewhere between here and the black hole at the center of the milky way.

GMD gesture control in the Play Store
This app does it. I have it configured to hide the soft keys with a three finger scroll down from top of the screen right under the notification bar.
If you do this I also recommend setting something to close the app and another gesture to go back inside of the app.
Sorry if this is the wrong board.
I was wondering if there was a type of kernal that hides the capacitive buttons and the way to bring them up was to swipe them up from the bottom?
What capacitive buttons. If you mean the nav bar you can hide it with CM and PA, probably most of the custom roms

Obviously no way to hide capacitive hard keys on a phone but I think you mean (as last post suggests) that you want to hide the softkeys.
The following two apps do this. I've used the second one and can recommend it

That's not something that a kernel would do. Custom kernels are meant to do under-the-hood type stuff, not add visible ROM-level features.
What you're looking for is something like GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
I think u can do it buy using some launchers ...

Thanks all for the quick replies, I quit like GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys it's exactly what I need.
All i'd need to do is install SuperUser and install the app correct, would it be smart to root it right of the box without sim card or activate it with sim card on?

You can root your phone with or without a SIM card in, it makes zero difference. But if you are going to root it then do it before you start loading your apps/data, because unlocking the bootloader requires a factory reset.

Thanks for conrfirming, I was just a bit afraid I may loose service over rooting. Those that have used GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys does it hide the keys during game play also?

Yup it does
jfi...Its always a good idea to install busybox from the market after rooting, some apps need it. Then install GMD or whatever.
Does anyone know how could I use a build prop edit to safely hide the bottom navigation bar without using unnecessary RAM? I use LMT so it isn't necessary.
I believe its in the build . prop file because when I replaced it to do a status bar mod, the bar disappeared momentarily when the file was missing.
However, I'm new to Android and I don't want to put myself into a boot loop or worse by blindly deleting things. I don't even know how to use a recovery yet. So does anyone know where this is? Thanks
LG G2
I just use an app. Auto hide soft keys. It's in the play store. Also use LMT myself. Let me ask you something, what setting do you set gesture input to?

I find that app kind of bugging, and there are moments when my buttons are no longer being displayed and I have to reboot to get them back.

add

to your build.prop file. That is all I did. Just don't be stupid like me and do it before you turned LMT on. I had to think up some creative ways to open it from within other programs without the back button or home available :laugh:

Softbricked my phone and had to restore to stock then re-root etc :crying:
what is LMT?
This is LMT, or one of its functions. Its a really customizable navigation bar that replaces the stock one, along with any of other gesture control you could think of. Its great, you should try it out
LG G2
It swipes in from the bottom, top or sides. You can hold the gesture and lift your finger on the button or just swipe through in the direction you want and the function will activate. It gets much more complex than my setup but I'm just keeping it simple for now

The best app to hide soft keys is UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar),it can hide your keys without the need to modify them in build prop....And replace them with its soft keys that are not only customisable but you can also make them as tiny as you want in order not ot occupy as much space...

woof i tried UDN, to hide nav bar it requires xposed with it's module..i'm not too much interested to install other sw indeed, and IMHO it's the same of autohide
Then the build.prop string qemu.hw..... works??

It worked for me.Without xposed,i just ticked the option in the settings.Also you can make the keys as tiny as you want,even if you want them visible all the time and not hidden it will help alot to make them tiny.

Sideload and install gmd hide soft keys run it and select hide soft keys keys and setup your quick nav bar ..my suggestion is to use the pro version of gmd and set navigation control's to none and then use udn pro as your navbar which seems to work better for me

Works great, but how do you get the new nav bar to push everything up when on the bottom? Right now I have it set to 20px so it doesn't interfere with much, but it conflicts with my keyboard from time to time...

Did you guys lose menu buttons on some apps after installing these? My menu buttons for Voice and Trillian for instance have vanished and the menu button for the bar doesn't work on most apps for me.
Edit: Never mind, my issue was related to a busybox installation that was fixed by installing with a different installer. Oops.
Thanks for the info on this, it's very useful and stock is kinda lackluster.

I used the one from Faznx92's root tutorials, but I never had a busybox problem...
Something weird is going on, I got the menu problem again after rebooting I guess. Every time I uninstall busybox I get them back. I'll try the method OP used.
Edit: I keep getting the same problem. Each time I enable the auto hide soft keys app, I lose menu buttons in apps. Thr trick I found is to launch them all after booting then enable the auto hide. Just need to do that every time you reboot.
I would still love to be able to fix it for good
Freeze or uninstall stock "Soft Key Bar?"
Is it possible to remove it completly? I use auto hide soft keys but the stock Soft Key Bar interferes with it.

Do you guys know any way of swapping the default navbar with an aosp navbar? I want it to stay without hiding. I am mainly missing the recent apps button in the default navbar.
Thanks a lot!
You can disable the navbar with gravity box and use pie controls. That's what I do
Use UDN lite. Its far better and has more customization in the free version.

I am wondering the same thing, also the clear all button in the recent apps.
Has anyone seen a way to swap the soft Nav buttons around yet via Xposed or any other route? Also anyway to add a quick menu on the bottom right like the Euphoria Rom has for the Nexus 6?
Gravitybox
Thank you! Now I just have to get the steps to install Xposed!
Get rid of those nav buttons altogether, and get some pie. You can have all sorts of buttons.

Is there a way to force auto hide or hide on demand??? And how do you remove them alrogether???
Never liked the idea of pie it seemed cumbersome. And half the time i accidentally hit the area to launch the pie..

I used to be indifferent about Pie, until I actually tried it. Now I can't live without it. It's so much easier to just place your finger along either side of the screen, or the top and bottom, and have your nav buttons come up. Especially on larger screens. I also like having a "clean" screen, so the more UI items I can hide, the better.
What's the recommended pie app?

Gravity box has it, or you can grab the standalone app in Play Store.
I use an app from play store called "back button" and have a semi transparent back and notification drop button on the right side. I can't quite hit the back button comfortably. (see pic)

The link you provided is what I'm currently using. Works great. Read the thread though. Someone flashed this then tried xposed. Not sure what he/she did on xposed, but I believe it caused issues.
