Getting a Nexus 4 soon 1 question - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have never had a nexus device or used one with the on screen buttons but I have one question. Is there a rom to change the size of those buttons? They just look excessively large. Half the size would be nice.

Paraoid android, Your able to customize the on-screen buttons with it. There's also AOKP if your interested

Custom ROM's usually change that yes... or learn to tweak it yourself.... and then teach me.

Do you have any screen shots of the buttons made smaller?

This wasn't demonstrated on a Nexus 4, but just to show you that it's possible (using AOKP, I also marked everything you need to know in red.):

Volume Control Graphics & Colour

Hi Guys,
Just flashed my device to ROMeOS 1.13 from a Vodaphone branded ROM.
Everything works great and I am really pleased.. just needs a little tweaking here and there.. love it! One minor cosmetic thing is niggling me though and that is the fact I have lost my Volume Control Graphics (Slider) and in it's place is a traditional windows looking volume control.. quite boring really. Anyone got any idea of whether there is a way to re-install the prettier graphics slider and dump the traditional looking one?

"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:1
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:1
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:1

Froyo (i want this one)
I dunno, the new one sort of looks nicer with the matte instead of gloss. I guess it's just preference but the older one just looks a bit tacky
You might want to check out Widget Locker as well. I'll take a screen shot of mine and see if that's what your looking for.

[Q] Is area below screen touchable?

Serious ;D
My cousin has one x and that phone detects touch below screen, on capacitive (non on-screen buttouns), like you can scroll maps and other things even if you go on area below screen. Like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806590
Also, maybe my poor english disoriented you ?
I really hope that was just a troll question. If you really don't even know that much, then please don't buy the device, for our sake.
The One X only does that through use of the capacitive buttons.

...it's actually a pretty legitimate question guys. The palm (pre i think?) had this. It was an area below the screen where you could make gestures to control the phone.
To answer your question, no, the N4 does not have this. It would be cool if it did though. You could completely get rid of the onscreen buttons, have the whole screen to use, and use the gesture area below the screen to control the phone.
Maybe on the next nexus...

Can I "hide" the soft keys without pie?

I like having the soft keys always present, as compared to using pie, but I want 3 dots instead of actual icons all the time so it doesn't feel too intrusive. Is this possible?

Depends on the ROM. On most of them you can just theme the navbar icons. So, yes it's possible. Check out the themes and apps forum section.
cheers
