Hide on screen nav buttons - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just bought the Verizon LG G2 and its a lovely phone. Just one minor annoyance. How do you make the on screen nav buttons auto hide when you are browsing or playing games? I'm on the stock Verizon rom and I can't find any settings to do that. Whats the point of more screen real estate only to be taken up by on screen buttons that don't go away?

Go to play store and gmd auto hide, hit thanks?

Does the root check reset upon a full reset? I'm debating finally rooting this beast but I want to make sure if something breaks I can go back to full stock and send it in.
I have only found one thread about it and it was rather vague and not for the verizon variant.

[Q] G2 on screen buttons

Hi I'm going to buy the g2 but i really don't like these nav buttons/on screen buttons. Is there a way to hide them while in apps for example they will still be there but i would be able to see trough them, fully invisible or something like swipe up. Thank you and sorry for my bad english
I'm on LG G2 D802 and as far as I know there is no possible way doing this unless rooting your device of course. Then you probobly could use the app "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys".
How do you hide it with a rooted device?

Get the gmd auto hide app from the play store and install. It's a little wonky for me though. Sometimes it just stops working and I have to relaunch the program. Not a big deal, just a little annoying.
There's a mod/ROM you can flash with the smaller navbar, I haven't tried it yet.

Or...
after you successfully rooted your G2 and want to remove it entirely, you may try this:

[Q] New OTA Keyboard

Soooooooo. I downloaded the new OTA for my verizon note 3. I think the verizon cloud is kind of cool considering I've accidentally deleted my camera folder twice (oops) However, one thing I don't like is the change in color in the keyboard. It isn't white/grey anymore and it depresses me. I want the old keyboard back. Is there any way to get it back?
Find one from one of the Roms out there that still have the white keyboard and install it. You may have to move to system/app which ota??? Mj7, mi9?, something new?

I would assume you could pull the apk out of the stock rooted mj7 rom. just use 7zip to pull apk out. I would download a free keyboard off the playstore as a backup in case for some reason it doesn't work, but no reason it shouldn't.

I like the new (old old) dark theme but i use Swiftkey anyway. I don't like that the Samsung Keyboard doesn't allow to modify the press and hold delay.
I love that Swiftkey allows a quick right or left drag on the period key to get exclamation or question mark without having to wait for press and hold.

Broken slide aside?

Is anyone else's slide aside not working? I still have the apk in my system/app but it has never worked. I have gmd and use a gesture to move between apps but I want to at least try it out. Can anyone provide me with an apk to try to replace mine if it is broken or corrupted? Thanks in advance.

You should find it in Settings, under Device and then Gestures.

verizon, rooted, custom recovery, no rom. i rooted it right out of the box and installed twrp the next day. i didnt try to do slide aside until after twrp i believe. but i do vaguely remember the tutorial come up for it. like i said i can see it in titanium, root explorer, and apps, sometime it ill even show up in running apps, it is just not functional. its just very weird that i have the file but it disappeared completely from my settings menu, unless it is somewhere else with verizon. thanks for you help with this by the way.

I will admit this has me scratching my head. It does not show up in the Settings listing (which where it is with Verizon, as I have Verizon as well) but you are seeing it in the System folder. The first thing I would say is try a hard reset to see if this corrects the issue. You will need to re-install all your apps, unless you make a back up first.
---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------
By any chance did you Freeze it "not knowing" with Titanium. This could explain your issue??? Maybe.
No I checked to see if I froze it by mistake or disabled it but it isn't. Maybe something else I froze is affecting i?? Like I said I use gmd to switch apps, I just wanted to try it out. Not a big enough deal for me to reset. Thanks for you help though

Have you messed with settings menu at all like you do when installing split view mod? Mine is frozen and still in gestures menu...
I would suggest reinstalling or flashing stock settings menu.
Before i rooted it used to work, but after i rooted and used gmd gestures it stoped not sure why. But believe me you don't need it i simply froze the app, plus it will hinder my gesture options of using 3 fingers.

Yea I tried freezing gmd to see if that was the problem and it still didn't work. Like I said, it is completely missing from my settings menu. Oh well

Rip,
Did you ever figure out the issue? Its happening to me to. Im on verizon rooted with stock rom and I no longer see it in my settings/gesture menu but I see the app still on my phone. I saw someone in IRC say it was a bug with the app. But was wondering if anyone ever found what the issue is.

No I never did resolve it. Once a decent 4.4 rom came out I just went that way anyways and continue to use game swipe up gestures for home, back, menu, kill app, and to switch between previous and next apps. My nav bar is completely hidden so it maximizes screen space

[WIP 5/3/14] CSC Feature edits for GS5

CSC Features are cool because you can enable little features that are for whatever reason turned off by Samsung. Here are some that I have found across the internet.
A.) PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS!! Either make a backup in recovery, or make a backup of your feature.xml by copying the original/unedited to your SD Card.
B.) Download a root browser and grant it root permission.
C.) Go to system/csc/feature.xml
D.) Find the lines that you wanna change, and change it to what I have underlined/bolded. OR some are not in there and you can just add those lines right in (lines that are not in that can just be added will be highlighted in blue). Make sure the new lines are between <FeatureSet> </FeatureSet> . Now it's time for the features that can be enabled:
1. Enable call duration in call log: <CscFeature_Contact_DisableCallDuration>false</ (thanks to @eyecon82)
2. Enable camera shutter sound on/off menu: <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
3. Add an exit menu to the stock web browser: <CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
4. Enable infinite scrolling in home screen and app drawer: <CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
5. Enable scheduled message: <CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
6. Enable prompt to select recording mode: <CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode></CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode>
7. Enables Rotation control icon in Gallery: <CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>true</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>
8. Stock browser requests Desktop site by default: <CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>
E.) When done make sure you save the changes, and reboot.
F.) ENJOY!
Gonna be working hard on this tonite peeps to ensure which ones are working and which are not... just gotta get thru stupid work first! -__-
Expect a nice update tonite peeps. PLEASE if you know anything about this stuff, feel free to add on!
Good stuff man! I did the shutter sound and exit on stock browser. I'm not sure if it pertains to what I did or if it would have any effect on it (I doubt), but I lost my ability to press and hold to get punctuation on my Samsung keyboard. Lol

Any idea if the radio can be disabled/enabled thru csc features? In Australia, there is not radio on the s5. Not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue, but in others.xml file there is a line for <CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>100</CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>

I believe with original Touchwiz home, you have to MOD the TouchwizHome.apk to have infinite scroll through pages, as seen in MOD faster touchwiz launcher thread (see Index for easy link). Works from just apk push and no csc mod.
Also, here are the screenshots I promised. Says "null" for feature but my be able to MOD but wonder what it does...

Hey Joe. I'm thinking I may have deleted something else while doing my entries for enabling something. You think me doing that may have borked something? Would you happen to know the entry for the keyboard symbols.
Sorry to bring back up. I just got to thinking about it again and its bugging me (I don't even use the keyboard anymore lol) but good chance for me to learn something if another member has this problem.
