Hey, i just saw that the Huawei Ascend D2 has on-screen buttons that you can hide easy and pop it up again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH4Zt9lP23c(it's from 0:55) and just wondering if anybody could make something like that for the nexus 4?
There are a few ways to do it i believe. If you have a root a few apps will let you do it. Also AOKP has options to change it, as far as without root I'm not sure as I didn't try before i rooted my device. One of the things I have set is using Gesture Control I made swiping gestures from the area where the buttons would have been instead of having the buttons. I think it looks a lot better and for me works just as well.
download a custom rom such as cm10.1 to get this feature.
AOKP CM10.1 and PA all support this in the power menu.
Yes i know about the extended desktop, and i use it all the time. But i were thinking about a button on the soft-keys and a gesture to enable and disable it.

pa has per app expand. meaning you define app you like to jump into this and that mode and they will. if they have a quit button your bars will come back automatically.
there are apps out there can can do that with gestures. three finger gesture or whatever - not sure if they can hide the navigationbar because that would need framework changes afaik. we're working on something like that actually, its not yet 100% ready though.

I am currently running AOKP on my Tmobile version and enabled the onscreen navigation bar. Id like to know if we have a script that disables the capacitive buttons yet on this device, and if not, a request for a dev to make one. Thank you.
I haven't been able to disable them, but if you just want to have the capacitive buttons not light up snag "Screen Filter" as it lets you turn off the button lights (set it to 100% if you don't want to dim your screen). I also used "Auto Start (no root)" to have it start at boot.

What do you mean disable those buttons? Disable actions when pressing them?
So you have a huge useless bezel at the bottom of your screen?

LOL i bet a lot of people didn't know that (including me).... i mean i've been to that setting before to see how long the lights could be "on" for. but never noticed there was a "always off" option

Please don't be rude, especially because you are wrong. This option is only available in the stock touchwiz based rom. I am on AOKP.

Sry. Reading comprehension was subpar on my part.
This is actually a very useful tool if available. On my Asus Transformer Prime, there is a lock setting that disables the capacitive buttons while you watch a movie or play a game. I know the OP wants to disable the capacitive buttons for the purpose of replacing it with the AOKP onscreen buttons, but I would like to have that ability just to disable it so that I don't accidentally press on those buttons while playing game or watching video. Like a quick setting from the notification bar to lock it would be perfect!
Ill be subscribing to this thread for when we get a daily driver AOSP rom on Verizon. I too would like to disable the capacitive buttons and have on-screen navigation buttons instead. I find the capacitive buttons are too hard to press when I want to and too easy to accidentally press when I don't want to.

So, I don't know how to actually disable the button function (I'm running task's AOKP rom) and I didn't like using that Screen Filter app to keep the backlight off since it keeps it in the notification bar.
However, it is pretty easy to keep just the backlight off. Go into Settings>Display>Custom Backlight Settings. Check the "Use custom" option and go into "Edit other levels...".
Change the value for all the different levels from 1 to 0. Reboot and enjoy!

Do you happen to know what or where this line of code is so that we may modify it...?
Thanks,
Not sure if anyone using nova knows this or anyone interested or anyone wants to get nova or whatever reason just likes to have this feature.
First step is install nova and prime (I think it requires this because we need the gesture)
Go to app store and download Screen off and lock by katecca. (You might wanna activate the app first) .
Once downloaded go to nova setting. Go under gesture and buttons. Select double tap. On the top tab select app. Scroll down to screen off (under s). When you first select it. It will have to activate the app first and just hit yes/activate it. (Unless you activated it first)
Once done..
You can now double tap anywhere to get screen off instead of the status bar.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! Good find till a dev can get the wake/sleep working without issues!
Now if only the back button was on the right hand side so when I use the phone in my right hand I can reach it.
If you have greenify you can link doubletap to that also.
That's what I've been doing for a while myself... Double tap will Hibernate + Lock phone aka Sleep.
Works very well
how about the other way?

G3 allows you to open and unlock phone? with tap patterns. Would loveā¤ to see that on this phone?.
Works but really does lock the phone so Smart Lock doesn't function when you're in a trusted location.. anyone know of a workaround or an app similar that will work with Lollipop?
Validus ROM has double table status bar to sleep. You can download it on their google + page.
I know this thread is a little old. Is this still the best double tap to sleep method through Nova?
Has anyone seen a way to swap the soft Nav buttons around yet via Xposed or any other route? Also anyway to add a quick menu on the bottom right like the Euphoria Rom has for the Nexus 6?

Thank you! Now I just have to get the steps to install Xposed!
Get rid of those nav buttons altogether, and get some pie. You can have all sorts of buttons.

Is there a way to force auto hide or hide on demand??? And how do you remove them alrogether???
Never liked the idea of pie it seemed cumbersome. And half the time i accidentally hit the area to launch the pie..

I used to be indifferent about Pie, until I actually tried it. Now I can't live without it. It's so much easier to just place your finger along either side of the screen, or the top and bottom, and have your nav buttons come up. Especially on larger screens. I also like having a "clean" screen, so the more UI items I can hide, the better.
What's the recommended pie app?

Gravity box has it, or you can grab the standalone app in Play Store.
I use an app from play store called "back button" and have a semi transparent back and notification drop button on the right side. I can't quite hit the back button comfortably. (see pic)

The link you provided is what I'm currently using. Works great. Read the thread though. Someone flashed this then tried xposed. Not sure what he/she did on xposed, but I believe it caused issues.

Maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious - but is there a way (other than the button on the back) to turn off the primary display??
I have figured out that i can double tap to wake. But haven't figured out bow to turn off.
Disregard. Found out that i can double tap status bar for knock on feature to turn off.

I think this has to be an empty spot on home screen. I use 5x5 and keep it pretty packed - so that doesn't work for me. But you are correct

Yes - this is what i use now. Will take some getting used to, but seems easy enough to adjust to.
I'm using Nova Prime and double tap on and off work fine. No need to use notification bar to tap off here. I can double tap any empty spot on any screen and it will turn off.
If it doesn't work like that for you - must be something else.
1. Do you have Nova Prime, or Free?
2. Do you use live wallpaper?

This does work. I use the stock launcher. There's just not a lot of open real estate on my home screen. Also doesnt work outside of home screen (that I've noticed). So status bar has been OK.
When XPOSED eventually comes to Nougat there was an option in some of the old G3/G4 Tweakboxes (which ran on the G5, V10, etc) to double tap the navigation bar as well as the status bar.
I got very accustom to that so hopefully that will become an option in the future as well.
For now, I am using Nova Prime Double tap to run a tasker task that executes a shell command (as root) to emulate the power button press. This will turn off the display and still allow you to wake it back up with the fingerprint sensor since other methods make use of the device administrator and require a pin/password/knock-code to unlock.

We all know Xiaomi doesn't let us use multiwindow on its MIUI though its an android nougat feature. However there's a nifty trick to activate this feature on any nougat MIUI device including our Mi 5.
Note that this works on nougat based MIUI only.
First download the app called Button Mapper. You need the pro version.
Playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Open the app and give permission for services.
Go back to the app and click the 'Menu' button. On top activate customisation. Click on long press. Scroll down and select Split screen.
Your device is now ready to use splitscreen or multiwindow feature. Open an app. Press and hold the menu or recents button. Slide your finger from the extreme bottom of the screen to slide the window up. Now you can open and run another app simultaneously. When using two apps at a time, press the outline separating the windows for a few options.
Make sure to allow the app to autostart in Security>Permissions>Autostart.
Not all apps are supported by default but you can do it by enabling force activities to be resizable from developer settings. And this won't always work like you intend. You may face a few bugs.

The quick reply is really much important and useful then the multitasking window , I hope someone here can find a workaround or an app that can do this without rooting , I have tried some floating apps like notifly but all doesn't provide any thing near the native quick reply feature

Havent looked into it. This is probably because the app alters input of the device. Does three finger screenshot stop working when using two windows at a time or just after configuring anything within the app?
