I'm using Pardus V5 on my LG G2-D802. I installed the G2 TweaksBox from Google Play (see the xda links from there).
This requires the Xposed framework.
Once installed, go to Theme Tweaks, then Navigation Bar.
Turn on Enable NavigationBar and reboot.
Go back to the same window, move the sliders for NavigationBar Height down and reboot again.
I've set mine to 24dp, which looks pretty good. The smallest setting is maybe too far unless you have small fingers.

damnn i have already paid for the g2xposed and there i couldnt find anything yesterday, so the only solution is to pay again but this time for g2 tweakbox which has that option ..
is there not another way

what most of those programs do is modify the build.prop file. if that is how g2tweaksbox does it, then u could do it manually. I use tweaksbox to shrink my navbars and it works very well.

How about the GravityBox kk module?
I haven't tried it on a stock kk rom but it should have the option.

The free version of G2 TweaksBox will resize the bars. The paid version enables lots of other features (and it's good to help the author), but you don't need it for this feature.

I tried the g2 tweakebox and finaly found out how to unlock the option to resize the nav bar, but after each reboot nothing changes -_-
and with the gravitybox i dont know where to go to resize the nav bar
I feel realy screwed for purchasing the g2xposed version withouth the option to resize the nav bar
what should i do now

someone any solution for me

Using Nox Icons without Apex, Nova, etc?

Anyone know how to apply icons from Nox Icons to the G2 without using a non-stock launcher? I prefer using the stock G2 launcher to keep "knock knock" but don't like the icons. I already tried changing the icons by long pressing the icon I want to change and selecting the Nox icon I want but it keeps saying "Failed to load image".

You can keep knock on/off with 3rd party launchers, you just need to double tap the status bar up top.
Yeah I know, but that's too hard to do one handed (or I'm just too lazy). I was hoping there's a way to find the icons using a file browser or maybe someone has the icons in a zip.

You can also download a program called Turn off screen, using nova, after you set up "turn off screen" go to activities under gestures in Nova, and set double tap as turn off screen. Also, if you have root, in the app section, someone has developed the regular launcher with pretty much all options you can think of.
Have fun.

[Q][KK-Stock] Disable Navigation and enable Pie Control [SOLVED]

Does anybody know how to get rid of this "Slide Up Menu" (Navigation Bar Ring)?
I want to use my LMT pie control, but this thing mapped bottom area for self. I cannot find any settings for it and I have no idea from which app it comes from yet.
(Please ignore that black rectangle at then bottom of screenshot, it is not related to it)
Edit: I solved it by creating own Xposed mod.
I have another question regarding this. Sorry for hijacking.
Is it possible to add your own shortcuts to this Slide up? And remove Google?
Thank you!

It's probably possible, it would just take some work. Check out Slide Launcher, it does what you want.

Well, looks like there is no setting for it. At least nobody replied.
I begin to look into source code and I will do Xposed mod for it. Begin with disable it. Manage shortcuts should be possible too.
Have you guys tried this out?

Don't think that would work, because it doesn't disable ring but just replaces it with app that does nothing. This annoying ring is only reason why I don't move to stock kitkat roms.. Can't use pie.

Word.
We really need a fix for this.
Progress Update
I made Xposed mod and get rid of this navigation ring (search ring) now.
However LMT still not works, at least not everytime. I got few times luck, but mostly no reaction.
What do you guys using for Pie control? LMT as well?

Well I managed to disable ring with g2 tweakbox xposed. But it was same as you describe, pie works rarely from bottom screen border. Tried Lmt and pie in gravity box.

Success !!!!
Finally I made it work! :victory:
Now I have:
- hidden navigation bar
- disabled navigation ring
- LMT works perfect from the bottom on 100%
I made own Xposed mod to fix that.
I guess I don't need to ask if you guys want it as well, right?
Please wait one more day. I will clean it up and release new mod for you.

Xposed mod released to Xposed Repository. I created new thread in development section as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689890

[HELP] How to make navigation bar icons smaller?

Hello! I'm running OptimusG3 and I'm on art. I would really love to know how to make my nav bar icons smaller. I tried the nav bar height mod by Xzombiepikatchu but as the name implies, it just changes the height and not the size of the soft keys. So can anybody help me (either tutorial or by building a zip for me) reducing the icon size?

Try our xposed module "android theme. Engine" and see if it helps you, the nav bar option can be found at the end of page. If you feel the icons still appear big you can let me know I can do a special size reduced version for you in my free time

From what I remember cloudyg3 uses a smaller navbar so if you don't mind switching to that rom that might be the easiest option. I can't believe that a small navbar mod doesn't exist. If your dead set on using optimusg3 then your only other option might be to pull the systemui and replace the navbar bitmaps with smaller ones

Lollipop and xPosed alternatives?

Obviously xposed doesn't work with lollipop because of ART. I used a few mods in xposed with JB that I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to get working on lollipop. The main one for me is resizing the nav bar at the bottom because it is huge. The second would be 5x5 homescreen icons. And the third is a round battery icon with the percentage. Any way to impliment this into lollipop without xposed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, you can decrease DPI value to 300 or a bit less, but this will make smaller anything.

With a lower DPI (300) it becomes 5x6.

For this you need a custom Firmware.

For narrower nav bar, I use GMD auto hide soft keys. You need root, but it's easy with wugs nexus toolkit.
For changing the number of rows and columns of icons, I use Nova launcher. No root required.
Can't help with the battery icon, sorry.

Suddenly can't seem to get that GMD app to work. I think the smart cover lite app together when the GMD app won't work. Seemed fine before I installed smart cover lite.

Why don't you just use a 3rd party launcher to change the homescreen icon grid? The latest Nova launcher also makes it look like stock lollipop launcher

I personally found the best alternative to Xposed on Lollipop is the SimpleAOSP rom. It has a lot of the settings I got through GravityBox built in to the rom while still keeping the look and feel of the stock rom. Together with the recommended Stuxnet kernel, my phone hasn't ever run this well before. Super smooth and nice battery life. Pretty sure it has the feature you're looking for to change the size of the nav bar. Until Xposed is available on stock lollipop, I'm sticking with SuperAOSP.
The biggest thing for me was getting back DT2W/S2W/S2S since TouchControl is dead. Stuxnet only supports DT2W but SuperAOSP has the double-tap the status bar to sleep option.

How to hide navbar buttons for fullscreen/landscape?

It's annoying that lots of times the navbar buttons come up when using fullscreen/landscape apps.
I know that CloudyG3 had an option to hide the softkeys for individual apps, but I want to stay on rooted stock, because CloudyG3 is way to slow.
I also tried the app GMD auto hide and it was very annoying.
Any solution?

I installed Xposed G2, after someone recommended it to me to hide the navbar in apps. I had already the G2 Tweaksbox installed, anyway I tried to make sure there are no conflicts.
The result was that the LED keeps blinking constantly from green to blue and when vibration comes, the phone gets stuck for 5 seconds and then vibrates a little.
I tried already wiping cache, dalvik,uninstalling and deactivating the xposed modules. Didn't help.
Any solutions?
I have used xposed gravitybox fullscreen mode sucefully on stock d805, ot has a convenient power menu option to turn on and off.
Abou.t CloudyG3 2.2 maybe you should give it a go, I just flashed yesterday and can assure you its faster and more battery friendly. I wasnt sure about it before, but I am glad now. My benchmarks went up as did battery life.
Just Autorec, backup everything with usb otg and go for it!
