[HOW-TO] Play games in full screen on the fly with expanded desktop + pie controls

If you're anything like me, you love the nav bar but HATE it when you're gaming. Well I just stumbled across a solution that made me the happiest person in the world. In this guide I will show you how to add a toggle to your quicksettings that will hide the navbar and give you pie controls on demand for full screen gaming or whenever you just want to ditch the navbar easily.
This method requires root, Xposed framework + GravityBox.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SCREW UP YOUR PHONE*
***Remember, if you haven't used MotoWpNoMo, you need to boot through recovery in order to make any changes to your system, including installing Xposed.***
If you haven't already, download + install Xposed Framework.
Refer to this thread for framework + install instructions- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Download + install GravityBox and enable it in the Xposed Installer.
For 4.2 use this version- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316070
For 4.4 use this one- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049
Open GravityBox and go to Display tweaks. Enable Expanded desktop mode and set it to hide navigation bar (you can set it to hide the status bar as well if you like but this is not necessary to go full screen for gaming)
Go to Statusbar tweaks and hit Pie controls. Enable pie controls with the "when expanded desktop is on" setting. Now click Trigger positions and check the bottom and right border options. It would be wise to also shrink the trigger size down, so you don't accidentally hit it. I have mine set at 2px and you basically need to swipe in from the edge to bring up the pie.
Also in Statusbar tweaks, go to QuickSettings management and then Statusbar Quicksettings tiles. Select/deselect whatever tiles you want or don't want, just make sure that Expanded Desktop is selected.
if you enable the advanced reboot menu (power tweaks), you can toggle expanded desktop from there as well
Reboot your phone normally
Once this is all done, you can pull down your quicksettings shade and just hit the Expanded desktop toggle and your navbar will magically disappear and get replaced with pie controls. When done gaming, hit the toggle again and your navbar will reappear.

Bump for the gamers!

How do you disable Flashlight?

I know with my N5 I had constant problems with the "butt dial flashlight" and on of the reasons I got a N6 is that I wanted to eliminate that problem and indeed it was successful. Now with the 6P this morning I noticed my pocket was getting hot and I took the phone out and the flashlight was on.. How do I disable the flashlight as I never use it anyway and if you ever saw a battery sucker it is the flashlight?

Assuming you're talking about the quick launch icon in the notification shade, turn on System UI Tuner (hold down the settings gear in the shade for a few seconds and it will start to spin under your finger (hard to see). Then go into settings and at the very bottom it will say System UI tuner. You can then customize what icons are shown in the shade.

Ok what is "notification shade" .. does phone need to be rooted as I held down the settings gear for at least 9 seconds on the screen that shows things such as bluetooth, airplane mode, auto rotate, Location.. etc and I never got the setting wheel on the upper right near the percentage of battery and nothing happened, but my 6P is not rooted?

Your phone does not need to be rooted, but you do need to keep your finger very still as you're pressing on the gear icon. It took me a couple of tries.

if you have OK GOOGLE enabled...
"OK Google, turn off flashlight".
I'm serious.

You don't need to be rooted. Maybe have developer settings turned on in the first place?

"To enable System UI Tuner in Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview 3, pull down your notification shade and long-press on the Settings gear icon for up to 5 seconds. Once you let go, you should see a pop-up with the message “Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings.” And as that message suggests, you can head into settings, scroll to the bottom, and find an option for System UI Tuner."
Once enabled you will see a small wrench next to the gear icon in the notification shade.
Notification shade is the pulldown menu where you notifications appear, and where the quicklaunch icons are.
As @Zlatty said, you might need to turn on Developer Options first (but the Droid Life guide doesn't mention it). To enable this, go to Settings > About and tap on Build Number 7-8 times until it says "You're a developer!".

Will this stop it from going on or does it just shut it off once it it on?

OK I was able to access that screen and flashlight icon was pale with a diagonal line through it but all that tells me is that it is off as I did nothing to disable PERMANENTLY the flashlight that I know of ??

Yes that worked but you have to know it is on.. I want it never to go on.

@painfree Click and hold on the flashlight quick launch icon in the System UI tuner Quick Settings and drag it down to the trash to delete the icon from your Quick Settings/Quick Launch.

fury683, thank you that worked it is removed.

Music visualizer enabled with daydream mode via Nova Launcher

If you use RR rom or any other custom rom like RR then you probably know that when you play a song then the music visualizer (aka 'pulse' under configuration >nav bar) floats upon the navbar, and so i wanted to turn that feature on when the screen was off and so i did a trick to enable it with daydream mode and i thought it might look cool and it does looks amazing on AMOLED screens, if its having a black background on an amoled display then the pixels are turned off as you all know and thus turning on with daydream mode really looks amazing so i thought of sharing this wih you all
First enable daydream mode under display & lights and select clock now tap on that setting icon right next to it now go ahead and select your style that you want, i had selected digital and turn on night mode now select when to daydream on the upper 3 dots (drop down menu) and set to either
Now go into nova settings and select gesture & inputs and now you need to select a gesture it can be anything but i had select swipe up now go to shortcuts and select activities, now scroll way down till you see System UI and tap on it and now select daydream and you're done. Now you can go into display & lights again and you can increase its display timeout, I set it to 60 minutes when i listen to music without charging and when i don't i set it back to usual timeout 30 sec
To activate this see the images down below
enjoy
