Does anyone know how to remove the keyboard button on the navigation bar? It's in the bottom right and only appears when the keyboard is in use. I've checked keyboard settings, and navigation bar settings and neither have a disable option. I've read that a way to remove it is to freeze the stock keyboard app, but i'd rather not resort to that. I know it used to just be an ongoing notification while the keyboard was up, but now it's just in the bottom right. I've tried "Navbar apps" but it doesn't have the option to disable that. Is there any other way?

I have cm7.2 with tablet tweaks for soft buttons on the status bar. I want the status bar always on. The hide button (far right) pops up and disappears intermittently.
Is there any way to turn off the hide button permanently? When it pops up, it shifts all of :he other status bar content to the left, which is distracting. Also sometimes it pops up suddenly right as I go to press the notification button and then I accidentally hide the status bar because the hide button suddenly appears where the notification button was.
Can't find anything in cyanogenmod settings. Someone help?
Is there no way to do this?
There's no way to do this. There are some applications that expect true full screen. In Honeycomb and ICS the OS itself removes the status bar/soft key area from the available screen real estate and "dims" the contents of the status bar when an application requests full screen.
In Gingerbread (the basis for CM7), this isn't available in the core OS, so Mad Murdock (the developer of TabletTweaks) implemented the best solution he could...basically the ability to suppress full screen for apps that can adapt that that and otherwise to give the user a chance to enter and leave full screen.
There are still bugs in this implementation because of the limited hooks for intercepting these full screen requests and switches in and out of full screen. As a result, you'll see some apps that don't look quite right when this feature is enabled even when you go full screen, and you'll also see that sometimes the full screen soft key gets into a confused state and displays when it shouldn't and vice-versa. This can ultimately lead to an FC in the StatusBar process.
What I do is turn off the "Disable full screen" feature under CM7 and use either Button Savior or the extended Power Menu buttons (mostly Button Savior these days) to provide access to Home/Back/Menu when an app runs full screen. It's not a perfect solution, but it's more stable and still gives me non-intrusive access to soft keys.
That's a fair enough solution. I do see the FCs often for statusbar. Thanks for the input.
I'm a pretty sloppy typist and I find that when I'm typing in landscape mode I'm constantly hitting the soft menu buttons underneath the space bar (home, keyboard hide, and app switcher). As you might imagine, this is pretty annoying as I'm constantly losing the page I'm working on. Does anyone know of an app or setting that will either hide or disable the three soft keys when I'm typing?

You can use the full screen mode always and use some on-screen floating buttons ( back, home etc.. ) app from play store ( Virtual Button Bar ). I think this will help you.
thanks for the reply, I use the stylus beta input app to input any text. Im not sure if the floating buttons permnently remove the nav bar, since everytime i want to input text with the stylus the nav bar pops back up
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?
Enabled immersive to hide the navbar. I also have an app that does this, but getting the soft keys to not display when you swipe up is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have an app called OnePlus gestures to enable gesture Nav, have the Navbar hidden, but when swiping, the soft keys keep appearing. Also tried the hw key build prop file set to 1, doesn't work at all to disable them.
The Oneplus app from the store has a navbar hid feature that disables it, but it seems to have broke something with my AOD substrate I like to run and the percentage disappears on the AOD screen now at the bottom, something with the overlay I guess on the latest build.
Anyway, if someone know how to disable the softkeys so I can just use Gestures...would be great...the navbar hide function, no problem..but the soft keys annoying reappearing is the issue now.
Thanks
If your using an essential phone try adb shell wm overscan 0,-143,0,0. What are you using for navigation?
