Slim Navbar for KitKat, with recent apps? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm searching for a mod that I use on 4.2 for KitKat. I have a thin navbar with a recent button (the recent app-button is from G2 Xposed) and the thin navbar is a modified file I changed (because the G2 Xposed navbar height didn't work well, left a gap on stock launcher).
Do anyone know if there is something like this working for Kitkat?
Thank you!

Is the first app confirmed working with KitKat? I would rather just replace a system file, but I'm not confident enough to edit the code myself.
Rather than using an app for it, which seems unnecessary for the small change i need.

Yes It works i've tested it myself
BTW used xposed module (Bundled inside UDN Refer post #2 ) to spoof the navbar.

What Xposed module? Everything I"m trying on the Verizon KitKat OTA isn't allowing me to add a Recents key (replace menu key with Recents).
Ultimate Dyanmic Navbar Lite adds the recents key ... but i don't like the way it auto-hides / covers things on screen.

Status bar quick settings

Hi guys i have brought moto g 2014 3days back. and i wonder is there is any option to add more options like rotation toggle.
Its upto you, if you only want extra toggles then go for without root method and if you want to still customize your phone to a greater level go for root method.
With Root : This will add extra toggles in the quick settings.
Unlock bootloader, root your device. Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/guide-root-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2874245
Install Xposed Framework and GravityBox KK module. Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Without root : This will add a bunch of extra toggles in the notification screen.
Install Notification Toggles Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle.
Or Power Toggles.
Exposed framework + Gravity box = lots of happiness
Thank u guys for ur response
Have another doubt
I was using cm for past one year now i switched to the moto g. Cm has a feature to open quick toggle by swiping status bar from right side. Is it possible in moto g.
I am not rooted bcz i am still warranty and i dont want to avoid it by rooting

Not possible without rooting. You will have to use Xposed Framework and GravityBox.

K i will try after rooting.
But may be after some times.
Bcz my moto g is new and i dont want to void the warranty
Remember that unlocking your bootloadercomes with factory reset -> backup.

Very hard to do with one hand only.
The left/right way is much more effective.

Xposed -> GravityBox (KK)

Just saying that the left/right implementation is better than Google's one/two finger method.
GravityBox essentially turns the stock rom into CM or similar. You have all the features, there's no need to actually have CM anymore if you ask me. The only downside is that you do need root (or more specifically, you need root to install XPosed framework, which gravity box needs).

CM isn't just features actually its a lot more.
I don't suppose gravitybox could take my old nexus s to KitKat
BTW nice info here

No, but if you have a stock-rom that's basically AOSP and the latest version of Android, you don't really gain anything by going for a custom rom versus just using GravityBox. The latter version also still allows you to update the stock rom in the normal fashion.

I agree Gravity Box is the way to go. My only mistake was integrating updates into system and now can't get OTA updates. Complains about chrome.apk, etc during verification OTA.
Do you have a twrp backup of the stock XT1068 system for UK version that you could share? (21.11.14.titan_retgb.retgball.en.GB.retgb)
Disable Quick Settings
Is there an option to disable Quick Settings from the top right?
Thanks for the useful info

Navigation bar not working

Hi there, it looks like my bottom part of my nexus 4 touch is dead which makes the navigation bar unresponsive, however i was able to make it work with the help of xposed framework by increasing the height of navbar.
My question is can't i make modification in the rom itself and flash it and make it a parmanent fix so that everytime i factory reset rom i dont have to use xposed framework? Because uninstalling the gravitybox app reverts the changes i made to navbar. If this is possible please let me know the procedure for the same.
Thanks
(Current using AICP rom)

You could install a ROM that has this option incorporated in it, like Chroma, for example. There are more such ROMs in the development section.

AICP roms has the option to change the navbar too but it doesn't have the option to go beyond 48 and i am already on 48.

Well, another solution would be to decompile framework-res.apk and change the DPI from there. But, as I don't know much about coding, I can't really help you with this...
I just posted this question.

custom softkeys ??

is there are app or a instructions on how to change /modify softkeys (navbar keys) for the nexus 6p?

You can use Xposed + Gravity Box. Root required obviously.
Xstana app

This this this. Xstana is awesome. It's an Xposed module so you would need to flash xposed framework in order to use it but its super easy to change the navbar around with this app. There's another Xposed module called "nexus navbars" that works the same way as well.
Softkeyz in the playstore is another way
If you are rooted and your ROM supports layers, you can use layers manager. There is a layer called "navigate" by Rohit Chouhan. It had like 20 different styles to use, and it is much easier if you don't want to mess around with Xposed.

Is there a way to change 3G/H/4G to stock Android

I don't like this big text Motorola uses, is it possible to change how they look to how stock android is? I couldn't find anything on xposed modules
You tried Gravitybox? It's been a while since I used xposed.
I know theming works and replaces those (you do mean in the status bar right?) Try flashing a ROM with Layers like cyanogenmod. Different themes will use different icons.
Yeah i fixed it by using a xposed module for moto devices

Remove navigation buttons

Just wondering if there is a mod out there that can remove navigation button until you need them? I know they had one for MM to where you can press button at bottom and make them go away until you actually needed them....do they have one for N? Thanks in advance to all who reply. :good:
We'll have to wait for GravityBox and Xposed to get updated for Nougat.

Or you can try dynamic navbar that is even compatible with Xposed

I know, it don't need Xposed to work, has only a setting to hide navbar with Xposed but program it self work without it.
Anyway maybe you can try even a pie app or swipe gesture (on play store) they're alternative way to navbar
