Nav bar brightness - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Lux to control brightness but apparently kitkat has made changes to how brightness works and it therefore does not affect the nav bar which means while most of the screen is dim, the nav bar remains bright.
Does anyone know of a working fix or an alternative app that works on nav bar? I tried an app that claimed to work on nav bar (particularly on Nexus devices) but it did not work.

Anyway to adjust screen brightness by touching the status bar?

My S2 (via stock or CM rom) had this function, and I find it so very useful. I've searched already, and there seems to be nothing on the S4. I know the brightness slider is in the status bar menu when you pull the status bar down, but that already is so much more inconvenient than just touching the status bar to adjust brightness. Do any of the roms currently available: Omega, Wanam, CM10.1 have it?
Thank you in advance!

I resorted to this:

you can make it completely transparent and change behavior. Hope it helps...

[SOFT MOD] GMD softkeys

Hello pals, wanted to share this
Its great for recovering some precious screen space. It works wonders for me
Its called GMD Auto Soft Keys, for me, its the best alternative to all the other soft button mods.
Hope you like it

How is it horrible when playing games?
Smart Statusbar is one solution. When in a full screen app / game, drag down from top of the screen as if checking a notification. You really only need to do this very slightly, just enough to make the status bar appear, and you will notice the GMD Auto Soft Keys indicator will reappear at the bottom also.
another option is button savior, but i prefer GMD,
GMD can hide the statusbar and the nav bar, without any build prop editing.
gaming is ok for me, just remember where your hotspot is and swipe there, y leave the hotspot in dead center so i can put it small and wouldn't interfere with games.
I also like GMD. It seems to be almost the same as ultimate dynamic nav bar xposed module but for me GMD is better because you can turn off the notification that stops a pull down on status bar going direct to my quick setting.
Here is another mod to free up some screen space.
Hidden but expandable Status Bar
If anyone makes this for Moto G, be sure to post it in 'Themes and Apps.'

I use GMD on other devices and only have praise for it
I purchased GMD last night and it was definitely worth it! My phone looks great now! I also have most apps set to fullscreen mode with Appsetting in Xposed so that hides the status bar. A quick swipe down from the top of the screen will reveal a semi-transparent status bar for a few seconds.
Some images for comparison (1st: Normal, 2nd: Swipe up from bottom, 3rd: Swipe down from top.):
GMD plus Pie Controls for me

Navigation bar

So as a former LG G2 user, I am so used to full screen that I just can't handle the navigation bar on Nexus 6. My workaround was an app called ultimate dynamic navbar. It does the job pretty well. Do you guys use your phone with the nav bar? It just bothers me a lot when I see it in full screen lol.

Is it possible to add a navigation bar?

Id like to know if its possible to add a navigation bar, I have root and xposed.
Ive found that if you use goodlock with gravity box it works flawlessly, however will it burn into the screen?
I've tried this too, but I didn't like that the navbar is persistent. I'm used to swiping upwards to get the navbar on my old nexus 6.

Statusbar Brightness Control Needed

Can anyone please suggest me an app that i can use for changing screen brightness from statusbar, lije gravitybox as the feature from gravitybox isnt working on touchwiz.
Thanks.
