Hello all,
Decided to join to KitKat gang, flashed the factory image, installed OTA update and rooted again. Really liking the overall KitKat rom and layout, particularly the improved dialer interface. I can now do away with ExDialer (never been one for installing lots of apps when not needed!).
I have Xposed installed along with Gravity module. Works great however I was hoping it might offer a little more customisation with the navbar, although I appreciate it's early days.
Has anyone seen a mod where I can change the buttons, ie change the recent apps to menu? In Gravity I can add an extra button for menu, but it still keeps the recent apps button there. I have never liked the recent apps button, never use it and would prefer it as menu button.
Thanks.

Did you find a solution?
You can do this on custom ROM like CyanogenMod

Hello
I have stock rooted N7 with 4.2.1. I really hate the top status bar since the bottom button bar is half empty, there is enough space for couple of icons there (wifi, etc). Is there a patch or something just for this? I don't care about the rest of tablet UI, just this. I have searched and read that there is no tablet UI since 4.2, is that true? Is there a way to make just this one change somehow (no top bar, icons moved to bottom button bar)?
I don't see point in flashing i.e. Paranoid or other custom ROM since I am satisfied with stock and I don't want to risk any bugs or restore my apps and settings. I rooted only to be able to use PPP Widget.
Thanx

Hello!
I know there are some Threads about it already.
I've been searching the web (and xda) about hiding those stock navigation buttons in apps but with no success of what I want.
I have already posted this in some Q&A but with no success.
REQUEST:
I want my navigation buttons to be ACTIVE on some apps, while I want those button to hide on the other apps with !!POSSIBILITY!! to activate them (indefinite, not only for some seconds) and deactivate when needed.
I don't want them to appear "above" everything like some apps and ways to do this offer. I want it stock, the way android 4.4 does this (eg. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...go-truly-full-screen-hide-the-navigation-bar/)
With the latter I meant when on Home Screen - there should be transparent Button Bar (like stock 4.4) Not like apps that only offer full black
Do you think it is possible? A modified ROM could offer tweaked and improved android 4.4 "Full-screen Immersive mode" HERE.
I belive OMNI Rom could be the answer!
Ah, we don't always get what we want ...
Anyway, I had this idea for a long time already, so I'll work on that... when I have time. Basically a kitkat-updated version of Expanded desktop.
Hi there,
Seeking some advice on a ROM. Hate the look of stock LG G2, just installed stock-like kitkat on my old GNex and saw the google experience launcher with transparent everything, DO WANT. However I'm afraid of losing some features of stock LG software. Maybe you guys can recommend some ROMs, or if it's best to stay stock to get all the features I want, recommend some mods that will give me all the ROM features I want?
Things I NEED
Knock On/ Knock Off (LG feature)
4.4 Stock "Look and Feel" (fonts, transparent bars all around, appearance of time and battery and notifications bar, black instead of white setting menu, etc, you get the picture)
Always listening on the home screen, possibly the lock-screen, pretty much anywhere I can have it all over the UI (as per 4.4, not LG)
Recent Apps button instead of a menu button (as per 4.4, not LG)
Open apps from the lockscreen with apps icons already visible when looking at lockscreen (not the style where you hold finger over lock icon to see a choice of apps in a circle, and then have to swipe a specific direction. I used to have that and didnt like it as much as I like LG stock way of actually showing icons without you touching anything, and you swipe the icons, not a lock towards the icons)
Circle battery type thing on status bar that shows percentage
Things I haven't tried/am not sure about but might want from stock LG software, and might not want to lose flashing to custom ROM
Better stock camera?
SmartShare from the gallery app? (says it uses wifi/bluetooth to stream content to other devices)
Beam/DNLA/I don't even remember what it's called or what app I found it in?
Quickremote
You tell me please? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I've yet to discover that I might want (are any of LG's apps e.g. notebook useful?)
Things that are cool but not really necessary
Themes and a ton of extra features -- used to use AOKP and they had a decent amount of extra feature, not too few like CM, not too many like other ROMs where my head just starts spinning from all the features
Other
I'd really prefer not to have to wipe all the time, CM's OTA update feature was awesssooome when I had CM on my GNex, but CM is a little feature-lite for me, I mean it was good though, that's just a minor complaint. But if there's something better fitting my criteria above I'll put up with having to wipe to flash updates of the same ROM in the future if its necessary. I just never understood why OEMs can push OTAs to people and never make them wipe, but for custom ROMs (updating new versions of same ROM) I have to re-set-up everything every time
A lot of this stuff has been addressed already. Most ROMs have knock on built in, but not knock off. The work around is downloading an app that turns the screen off, and using a gesture control in another app (such as Nova Launcher) to double tap the home screen to turn the screen off. Though personally, I just have screen off set to my nav ring so I can access it from any page I'm on.
There's a flashable install here on the forums some where for Quick Remote. Works fine on AOSP ROMs.
As for 4.4 stuff, I have no idea.

How did you do that? I nowhere find a setting to change anything in the navigation ring.

I've recently gone back to stock after flashing the latest factory 4.4.3 image. I have xposed and gravity installed, however I miss the option to assign different icons to the navbar buttons.
I like to have a permanent menu button in place of the recent apps button, but with gravitybox installed I can only make the recent apps button become a menu button, however the icon remains as a recent apps icon if that makes sense.
Is there a mod available that allows a much wider ranging option for editing the navbar?
Thanks.
So I just rebuilt my rooted / stock Verizon G7 after manually applying the latest update, and noticed something weird (to me). The Nova Launcher Prime that I have used for years wouldn't stay the default Home, it kept reverting to the defaut Moto launcher. I made sure Nova was set as default, installed on internal storage and had all appropriate permissions, but it would flip back to Moto after a minute or two. I uninstalled almost every app, because sme people suggested this, but it still happened. I installed several other launchers just to test, but they had the same problem too.
The fix was to freeze/disable the Moto launcher. But this brings us to my problem.
The Recent menu button with the Moto launcher has the cool Pie Recent button where running apps come up horizontally. After freezing the Moto launcher, the Recents come up in the older vertical way. I know some people prefer the older way, but I genuinely prefer the new one. Nova previously let me use the horizontal Recent list, and I am pretty sure (but not positive) that I had the Moto launcher frozen.
Does anyone know how I can get the recent menu back to horizontal? I have GravityBox (P) installed, but this is one of the few things that it doesn't appear to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know this isn't a big deal, the phone works perfectly well and performance-wise, it was a steal for the money. Magisk, TWRP, xPrivacylua, AFWall, GravityBox, Nova and a few other largely aesthetic tweaks make it mine. But this one little thing is really annoying me, and I suspect that a lot of you know what I mean. Sometimes, perfect functionality isn't enough.
