[HELP] How to make navigation bar icons smaller? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I'm running OptimusG3 and I'm on art. I would really love to know how to make my nav bar icons smaller. I tried the nav bar height mod by Xzombiepikatchu but as the name implies, it just changes the height and not the size of the soft keys. So can anybody help me (either tutorial or by building a zip for me) reducing the icon size?

Try our xposed module "android theme. Engine" and see if it helps you, the nav bar option can be found at the end of page. If you feel the icons still appear big you can let me know I can do a special size reduced version for you in my free time

From what I remember cloudyg3 uses a smaller navbar so if you don't mind switching to that rom that might be the easiest option. I can't believe that a small navbar mod doesn't exist. If your dead set on using optimusg3 then your only other option might be to pull the systemui and replace the navbar bitmaps with smaller ones

Read the description of recent updates...says it works for nexus4 too

There is an app, personally I used AOKP toggles on the Nexus 7 (im sure it will come to 4 soon) or in systemUI theres an XML you can edit (no clue which...) and set navigation bar height to something lower like 40 odd. 96 was stock on GNEX and 48 was stock on Nexus 7. Idk what's going to be stock on this device so make sure its not unsuitable

This is what i want to do, but for the entire system, maybe by long pressing the power button
Read this:
n Android 4.0, the APIs updated with new flags of SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, that requests the navigation bar hide completely. Be aware that this works only for the navigation bar used by some handsets (it does not hide the system bar on tablets). The navigation bar returns to view as soon as the system receives user input.
You can also use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE flag, to enables “low profile" mode for the system bar or navigation bar. Navigation buttons dim and other elements in the system bar also hide. Enabling this is useful for creating more immersive games without distraction for the system navigation buttons, and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE flag to request the system bar or navigation bar be visible.
There's a AOKP ROM for the Nexus 4 which has
Nav Bar Transparency
Nav Bar Button Reorder: Back-Home-Search-Menu
Nav Bar Color Picker
Nav Bar Button Glow Duration: Off, Fast, Slow
Nav Bar: Long press to Search button
Nav Bar Hide on Lockscreen
So if you use that ROM with an app like HideBar it should meet all of your needs.

Resize navbar

I wonder if there is a way to resize the navbar. I am not talking about hiding it, only resize the original one. I already tried auto hide soft keys app and couple of others but the problem is they designed to be hidden since they overlap the page content.

That exactly what i am looking for thank you.
Only problem with resizing the navbar is,that you will need to do that every time a new rom is available.The navbars are only working with the given rom they are supposed to launch.I have found that a nice way to resize it without doing anything is to change the DPI with a program.Its will make the navbar small and you can make the icons bigger to have a similar outcome as before.
and...
...it does not work with our international version either.

The bigger icons you can make from the phone itself from what i remember,the DPI program is texDroider,only problem i saw its that the camera doesnt adjust on the new DPI while everything else i tried so far is normal.But it can be solved too with xposed framework and a mod (app settings 1.5) that can put the camera or everything else you choose in 480 DPI mode.
please some one know the way , please make it work with D802 model

I dont think that you can just change the DPI of the frameworkres.apk,from the program,and it will work just like that..I saw they got it modded in order for it to work.Not sure tho since im not familiar with these things.

I'm using Pardus V5 on my LG G2-D802. I installed the G2 TweaksBox from Google Play (see the xda links from there).
This requires the Xposed framework.
Once installed, go to Theme Tweaks, then Navigation Bar.
Turn on Enable NavigationBar and reboot.
Go back to the same window, move the sliders for NavigationBar Height down and reboot again.
I've set mine to 24dp, which looks pretty good. The smallest setting is maybe too far unless you have small fingers.

damnn i have already paid for the g2xposed and there i couldnt find anything yesterday, so the only solution is to pay again but this time for g2 tweakbox which has that option ..
is there not another way
what most of those programs do is modify the build.prop file. if that is how g2tweaksbox does it, then u could do it manually. I use tweaksbox to shrink my navbars and it works very well.

How about the GravityBox kk module?
I haven't tried it on a stock kk rom but it should have the option.
The free version of G2 TweaksBox will resize the bars. The paid version enables lots of other features (and it's good to help the author), but you don't need it for this feature.
I tried the g2 tweakebox and finaly found out how to unlock the option to resize the nav bar, but after each reboot nothing changes -_-
and with the gravitybox i dont know where to go to resize the nav bar
I feel realy screwed for purchasing the g2xposed version withouth the option to resize the nav bar
what should i do now
someone any solution for me

Lollipop and xPosed alternatives?

Obviously xposed doesn't work with lollipop because of ART. I used a few mods in xposed with JB that I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to get working on lollipop. The main one for me is resizing the nav bar at the bottom because it is huge. The second would be 5x5 homescreen icons. And the third is a round battery icon with the percentage. Any way to impliment this into lollipop without xposed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, you can decrease DPI value to 300 or a bit less, but this will make smaller anything.

With a lower DPI (300) it becomes 5x6.

For this you need a custom Firmware.

For narrower nav bar, I use GMD auto hide soft keys. You need root, but it's easy with wugs nexus toolkit.
For changing the number of rows and columns of icons, I use Nova launcher. No root required.
Can't help with the battery icon, sorry.

Suddenly can't seem to get that GMD app to work. I think the smart cover lite app together when the GMD app won't work. Seemed fine before I installed smart cover lite.

Why don't you just use a 3rd party launcher to change the homescreen icon grid? The latest Nova launcher also makes it look like stock lollipop launcher

I personally found the best alternative to Xposed on Lollipop is the SimpleAOSP rom. It has a lot of the settings I got through GravityBox built in to the rom while still keeping the look and feel of the stock rom. Together with the recommended Stuxnet kernel, my phone hasn't ever run this well before. Super smooth and nice battery life. Pretty sure it has the feature you're looking for to change the size of the nav bar. Until Xposed is available on stock lollipop, I'm sticking with SuperAOSP.
The biggest thing for me was getting back DT2W/S2W/S2S since TouchControl is dead. Stuxnet only supports DT2W but SuperAOSP has the double-tap the status bar to sleep option.

Home in Fullscreen

Hi
I need the Home-screen on my ZL in Full-mode (expanded?), maybe without Pagination Marker and extra Row for Icons.
Im using Pie from GravityBox, without Navbar.
I'm searching 2 day's (and night's) for an Alternative to this Fullscreen.apk
Now (Lolli, root, Recovery) it didn't work anymore on my 6503.
Any Idea's how realized it?
Thx

Bro you can try serajr's "Xperia™ Xposed (LP)"
The feature you asked is available as option in additional quick tiles option.
I guess this is not right place to ask questions.[emoji6]

:cyclops:
O.k - (not really easy to find)
System Ui/Enable Extra Tiles/"Navigation Bar" - pull down QuickSettings + insert the icon and enable.
:good:
5th Row:
Home Launcher/Desktop/Grid-Numbers of Rows/"5"
----GEM Xposed can delete the Page Dots.
Now it looks like this!
Hurra

Use app settings xposed module you can set the home launcher to be immersive so both the nav bar and status bar will only show when you swipe up or down

Yes, but only with "Space", and only when if i want use the navbar (i prefer transparent PIE; LMT).
You can use Xposed and install 3dot menu Mod for change nav = 0
