Is there any app that will hide the navigation bar only in Games?
I like the Navigation bar, so not really interested in hiding it off of Games.

U need root for that, first get that and then install gmd gesture control or edit the build prop and some other options are also there.

Will try.
I don't know how that will help though, I don't want to hide is all the time, only in games.

My friend wants to hide his nexus 7's navigation bar so he has more room on his screen. he doesn't like how the navigation bar takes up his 7 inch sceen. I know you need root to do this, but is there possibly another way without root like any app to hide the navigation bar without root?

sadly no.
If you install a different launcher you can hide it on the home screen but that's it.
Agreed. And really, more room?? For what?

And how do you suppose he would exit said games without a navbar?

Errrr, thats easy. Unhide the navbar again when you want to quit the game, by holding in the power button and toggling 'expand desktop'. I do it quite a lot when I'm playing games to hide the navbar.
Think you do need root though.

OP you could try this

[APP][BETA][TRIAL] DeskBar Launcher will replace your soft buttons and more!
Not sure if it will suit your needs but worth a try.

With Kit Kat, it's usually hidden by default and you just swipe down at the top of the screen and it brings up the status and nav bar for about 5 seconds.
Definitely makes playing games, like Fruit Ninja, less aggravating when you accidentally swipe the home button and out of the game you go.

Like my subject say's. I can only use pie control only if it is set to right gravity. Also I don't think it's a ROM issue cause I also can't use nav bar on twrp. So not sure what to do

I'm not sure what ROM you're using, but normally PIE controls work at the bottom of the screen only when the nav bar is hidden in extended desktop mode.
Paranoid android 3.97 and I know I have full screen enabled but the pie won't show up with the normal swipe up from the bottom, nor can I use the stock navigation bar when not in full screen,

Update 10:08pm : the bottom of the screen where the nav bar/ pie control normally is located Is just tripping, and the bottom of the keyboard it randomly inputs. ,

Had the same thing happening on my mothers N4. Been searching and it seems to be a hardware issue. Something got screwed up over time in the digitizer on a lot of N4's lately, and switching ROMs, wiping and so on doesn't work.
Sorry, bro.
I was wanting get to customize my nav bar a bit by adding a little bit of transparency and/or changing the color. However, I couldn't find a setting for that and Google didn't help either. Is there a way to do this without having to switch roms?

try any launcher, they all have the feature you want. :good:
Nope, switching launchers will not help you modify the navigation bar, as that's part of the system. This type of modification requires a different ROM if you want to be able to easily change it.
I've seen the apps and edits to remove or replace the navigate buttons (home, back, recent apps) or even move them to the side... But what about moving them entirely to the notifications tray? Is this a bad idea?
For the videos and apps that remove the tray, there could be a hot corner or gesture to bring it back up. Should I have patented this idea before posting?

That's called tablet ui.

Patent it or not, Apple would still steal it.

Tablet UI would bring it to the statusbar. Not the notification area.
To the OP: this would be bad for accessibility. Imagine using an app that requires you to double press back to exit. You would neet to pull down the notification area twice... just to close an app.

Fullscreen app gives you two hot corners, replacing the back/home, but I found I kept accidently hitting the corners within other apps or surfing, no matter whether I put them top or bottom. I ended up using Pie Control app, customised with Nav buttons to solve the problem. LOVE the huge screen via fullscreen.

Ah I thought he was just making the 2 terms interchangeable.

Wow sorry for my late reply everybody. Thank you for you feedback. I haven't looked at tablet ui but I will. I have installed GMDs auto hide nag buttons. I like it. Sometimes. One thing I do not like is that the menu button for apps like Chrome are automatically moved to the navbar. I know I can turn it off but the menu button is just gone. Not a huge deal but I also don't like how it is sometimes less responsive than the stock navbar. Either way, I'm still shopping.

You should try AOKP rom which you can toggle phablet and tablet UI, I've been using this feature since 4.1.
As for in app menu button, there is in option called "Show menu UI overflow" in the rom to enable it.
Hi as title says, is there a way to remove the slight faded eye looking icon in the notification bar when smart stay features are on?
I always leave the feature on so the icon sitting on my notification bar is unnecessary. I am rooted and am amusing I need to delete a system file (maybe?) so if anyone knows please tell me
Thanks!

I fixed that on mine by using the corresponding option from Wanam xposed.
What do you mean? Can you tell me the solution?

Root. Install latest xposed framework. Install Wanam exposed module. Toggle the corresponding setting there.
use 2 finger to pull down from top and you shall see the option to turn it off.

That is not the same thing, the toggle will disable smart-stay, most people would want smart-stay to still work but not to show the icon.

I don't understand the process. It sounds quite complicated so I think I'll just live with the icon showing on my notification bar.
