I was wondering if there is a way that I can hide the soft key buttons while keeping the status bar. I currently use full!screen but it hides both the soft keys and the status bar. Just wondering if there is a way to hide the soft keys but keep the status bar?
BTW I am on the Verizon g2

You can use an app in the play store called GMD auto hide soft keys. If you want your navbar to be completely removed you'll have to pay for the app because it's a premium feature. You can also add this line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
to your build.prop if you don't want to pay.

I was just curious if there is anyway to hide the black home/back bar at the bottom of the screen? Is there any kind of option to hide it until you tap at the bottom and make it appear? Thanks.

Not with the stock ROM. Some custom roms have this type of feature available though (usually it's a toggle in the Power menu).

You can easily hide it on a stock rom with a build.prop edit. Just add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to your build.prop and reboot. Then you have no more navigation bar. You'll need to use something like LMT launcher (here at xda) or Button Savior (in play store) to have the home, recent, back, etc functions (easiest to set up BEFORE rebooting after editing build.prop ).

You can do this, but it's not exactly what the op was looking for. He wants to be able to hide and show the bar at will.
You can use GMD Hidebar or GMD GestureControl to hide the navbar.

I tried this and it hid the top bar as well. I just want the bottom buttons gone, since I use Button Savior.

Hey, you can use HideBar http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ to hide the navigation bar.
Is there a launcher that can hide the navigation bar on the home screen?
S' mobitela
No. Why do you only want to hide it while on the home screen?
Edit: If you just want to hide it period, you can use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243352&d=1344188251

You need a custom rom like PA in order to do that.
Or use lmt so which is pie, so you can now hide the navigation bar buttons in expanded mode.

You can also use gmd gesture control if you want to stay on stock but quickly hide/unhide navbar using gesture, even on custom roms its faster than having to hold power button and clicking expanded desktop

This is a great way to permanantly hide navbar but keep notification bar on stock but there is 2 problems i encountered with this method, 1st prob was the 3 dots would dissapear from chrome etc and on 4.2.2 i encoutered a flicker problem quite often but it sounds like the OP wanted to just hide the bar on home screen which im not sure why lol but if thats what he wants his best bet would be gmd gesture control or custom rom with expanded desktop mode

Agreed gmd gesture looks pretty cool.

All other app hide navigation bar and notification bar. I'm developing new root app that will allow to hide just navigation bar and replace it with auto hide status bar replacement :fingers-crossed:. No system files modification and no reboot required, but root is still needed.
Try it here and let me know what you think.

I was looking for an app to hide status bar, so i could use all screen. Does Anyone know how to hide status bar on LG G2?
Sorry my english
Hi,
I assume you are rooted, so you can edit the build.prop file (/sytem/build.prop) by editing it. At the end add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" (without the "") save and reboot (delete the line, save and reboot if you want the navigation bar).
But it's not really safe in my opinion...
There are some apps like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys or Xposed module: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477586.
This module to hide status and navbar. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477586
Look up LMT launcher for Pie control. Works perfectly on my G2.

Hi, i'm sorry but i didn't find how hide status bar. I'm using(thanks viking37) GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys to hide nav buttons.
But i didn't solve how hide the status. I tried the g2 xposed module, but i couldn't. So you can help me and write what exactly step i have to do.
Sorry my terrible English
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen&hl=de
take a look at this app...
Is it possible to hide the nav bar and the soft buttons only on lock screen?
I have xposed.
Yes. I am on stock rooted Rom and using g2 xposed. Nav and status bar don't show on lock screen.

Do t really need a status bar if you have that second screen. Some apps have an option to hide the status bar. For those that don't, anyway to force it?
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
I think k there is a setting for it somewhere. Doesn't work with all apps but it's there.
Where? I've seen a setting to hide navigation keys, but no setting to hide status bar.
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
Status bar no. Nav keys i meant. Sorry. Think the app needs a full screen mode like games or have to wait for xposed to catch up.
