[Idea] Softkey mod

Hi all,
I have order the N4 today and I'm starting to think about it.
There is a way by a Mod or something else, to remove the softkey from the screen to use the full 4.7" screen ?
My idea is to made a mod that permit for exemple by pressing the Vol + and Vol - at the same time, to remove the softkey from the screen.
What do you think about it ?
As I'm not a dev, is there anyone that can have a look on it ?
Regards.
Haven't seen this for stock roms, but AOKP has this feature. You can adjust the size of the navbar and hide it completely. Additionally, you can add the softkeys to the power options (hold power and you can go home, back, etc.). How I set mine up is using NovaLauncher. If I swipe up on the home screen with 2 fingers, it will hide/unhide the navbar.
You can also use the PAROM with PIE, so the nav keys will be shown after a gesture, or if you don't want to flash a ROM, just use LMT.

Yes, thank you I have just found it and I'm testing it (LMT).
This is so sexy !

[Q] Navigation bar alternative ?

Hey, I own a nexus 4 16gb, its rooted.
Anyone knows about a good navigation bar alternative ? i can make it disappear with the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 thing but i couldn't find a way to replace it.
I tried the LMT pie, worked pretty well until i got into a game.. for some reason it doesn't work in games, so i just needed to reboot my phone to quit the game.
I remember that i saw somewhere someone with a navigation bar appearing in the menu of long pressing the power key. anyone know how to do that or have another good alternative for a navigation bar ? Thanks
Aokp rom has buttons in the power menu, or you could use gestures; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontroldemo

Thanks, are there any more alternatives ?
You can try to add a ribbon to a edge of the screen.
Generally I put pie on the right side and a empty ribbon on the bottom which activate the "application window" ribbon when swiping from the bottom to the center of screen.
This option is present in many roms, including one I'm testing right now the Axiom rom.
Also, I activate Pie only in expanded desktop. You can add this action to the power menu, but I don't know how if you're on stock.
That's all I can do since I use LMT on my tablet with Pie installed too, I've never encountered problems.

how to enable NavBar (on screen button) and disable 2 soft buttons ala nexus

im desperately looking for a modification that disable the 2 soft buttons (left and right centre home button), and create 3x on screen buttons? so it will be like nexus or LG with just one centre hard button like apple kind of thing. i have galaxy note 3 N9005, rooted.
at the moment i used x-note custom rom with this feature built in, but looking to flash another custom rom but i really want to retain this feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-x-note-build-21-nj4-t2947649
So surprise no other custom rom ever have this feature....
please help? thank you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163932
found something:
All you have to do is add this to /system/build.prop and reboot.
# enable soft navigation keys
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
will try after flashing new rom, i hope it will also disable hardware keys

Keyboard changing button in Navigation bar

Does anyone know how to remove the keyboard button on the navigation bar? It's in the bottom right and only appears when the keyboard is in use. I've checked keyboard settings, and navigation bar settings and neither have a disable option. I've read that a way to remove it is to freeze the stock keyboard app, but i'd rather not resort to that. I know it used to just be an ongoing notification while the keyboard was up, but now it's just in the bottom right. I've tried "Navbar apps" but it doesn't have the option to disable that. Is there any other way?

Navigation Bar or Soft Keys

I've rooted my phone to get soft keys since one of the buttons has stopped working...
I included the activation line in the build prop to activate them but the soft keys are not spaced properly.
The back key is on the left of the home button... Any help regarding this?
Did you try alternatively one of the apps available on Google Play? Such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dogusumit.ortatus&hl=en_US and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.nav.bar ?
yes i did, even bought two apps, but they dont work as seamlessly as they should
