Hi all,
just got my Nexus 7 and while I like the hardware, I'm not so happy about the fixed "dock" at the bottom of the screen (where the six shortcuts and the menu button sit). I much preferred the Honeycomb/ICS layout where there was only one black bar at the bottom with the nav keys on the left and the time & notifications on the right. I don't think there is a way (without rooting) to bring that back?
The fixed dock (or whatever it's called) with menu and shortcut buttons really annoys me.
Is there any way to remove that (without rooting)?
Help is much appreciated!
Many thanks,
N.
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.
Hi
I used to use Gravity box to put cursor keys in the navigation bar but after the 'upgrade' to Lollipop, Xposed doesn't work. Are there any other ways to get cursor arrow keys in the navigation bar? I've got swiftkey which add arrow keys to the keyboard but the keyboard itself isn't a patch on the Google one.
Thanks
I would like to enable the navbar with the softkeys but only to appear the home button. Anyone has an idea?
Hi guys. Does anyone know of a working softkey app? Ive tried a few apps they all either work badly (simple control only allows you to slide them out to the edge where you swipe, useless for this phone as we use the down-up swipe for recents) or dont work when needed (softkeyz adds a second nav bar everywhere but on the home screen).
Any experience?
