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.

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.

^^^If that helps
i know some buttons have numbers assigned to them (like button 183, 204, etc) but no idea what button or where the file to edit for above mentioned key would be located. im thinking it may be in the sense theme itself since other themes have different buttons?
Sorry. LP = Launcher Pro, which you can get from the market. And yes it lets you change that.

I know it's not what you asked but stick your finger on the little numbers before the bottom layer of apps (drawer, phone, etc) and drag left and right. It'll make switching quicker and so the fact it's first won't be as annoying.
This may sound stupid, leave the default homescreen as 1 and just change what 1 is?
menu->edit or pinch to get the homescreens up and just press and hold then move the one you want as default to the 1st spot?

Not possible without rooting the device!
It's one of the reasons why I ditched TouchWiz from the first day on. I use launcher pro now because I really like the dock with three pages for all my important apps.
If you root, you can edit default.prop to change this to another default screen
Download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154&highlight=homescreen&page=37
open SGS tools and go to .prop Editor and edit default.prop
#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=4
press menu and save I rebooted and it worked
(forgot to try if it's gonna work without rebooting )

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.

While in keyboard, the soft key toolbar is very enjoying, and I very much like to make them hide whenever the keyboard is used.

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)
