Working on my rooted stock Nexus 10. Thanks its a great app.

Edit

QUOTE=jtc42;41074768]It just seems to be the case that Android knows as soon as the softkeys go anywhere, instantly assumes you have hardware buttons, and thus removes the on-screen menu button. I'm guessing theres no easy to to override this "feature" >.<[/QUOTE

I am missing onscreen menu button in apps as well.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Just tried on my Nexus 4 and onscreen menu is working fine. Could it be a tablet issue?

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I have found using both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 if I open Gmail with soft buttons hidden the onscreen menu button in Gmail has gone. With the Nexus 4 the menu button on the soft keys still works on the Nexus 10 it does not.

not bad at all. nice app

Junk. Didnt work on nexus 4. Then it told me it expires 5-10-13. Cant even upgrade to pro.

Statusbar and navbar gone followed by System Process FC on Motorola xt907
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cjrgalvez:
For me the app works fine since the first release, my only one complain is the red line xD
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Thank you for constructive feedback. This is Alpha version. New version will be up before it expires, but I do want people to update to latest versions and provide feedback. Could you explain in more details how it didn't work? Are you using some custom rom?

:o development is going well. I'm happy noone complains about false device mode detection this time. So I can start working on features.

Did this force device reboot :confused:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chelsea_fc:
Yeah my device was reboot
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] twichel04:
I am very pleased with this app. (I actually joined here because of this app, and wanted to give some feedback as well)

It does exactly what I need it to do, and works great every time on my rooted Galaxy Nexus. I was having the wallpaper issue with 0.3, I have had a wallpaper issue once so far with 0.4, but it fixed the issue itself within a few seconds.

The only thing that I don't like about it (and this is a VERY VERY minor complaint) is that the app doesn't run on start up, I have to manually start it after I power up the phone. (Not sure if it is supposed to be like that for the developmental versions, or if there is something wrong with my phone, this is after all the first time I have ever rooted a phone, so I may have done something wrong :p)

All in all, I love the app. I rooted my phone solely for the purpose of hiding my soft keys, but then I found that all the other apps out there also remove the notification bar, which is a no go for me. I look forward to purchasing the final version when it's ready, and will be following this religiously.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ratcav:
New version is even more epic.

Could you make the behavior of the other buttons like the back one?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ds10192:
Working great will be reporting back on newer versions

I've been looking for an app like this all day. Was hoping something would be available in the Play store but there is nothing quite like this. I'll be testing newer versions on my Nexus 7 and 4. Keep up the good work.

Version .04

As of now:

Nexus 7 - Everything working smoothly, no bugs that I can see

Nexus 4 - Everything working great as well
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] guigadourado:
First of all I want to thank you! This app is amazing and helpfull

I've made an icon for you. Hope you like it!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TCool:
This is what almost everybody were searching for.

I have a rooted Nexus 4 and works like a charm... I found that it's not compatible with another app posted just in this same forum, SoftKeyZ, it doesn't respect if you have "personalized" softkeys. Your software always uses own designs.

Also, I'd like to mention a feature, very easy to implement, and that's an auto hide timeout, so softkeys remain on screen for several seconds before auto hiding, what do you think?

Contratulations!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Autostart on boot will be added, but I skipped it for now as a safeguard.

I can add this option, but why do you need to press Home, Menu or Recent Apps more than once?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ratcav:
Well, I usually press home, then recent apps and clear them. I know, it's a stupid thing, but I'm used to it and an option would be great.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
I'll add it.

Cool, but I havent decided if its final app name :o. If anyone have some suggestions for app title/icons, I'm listening :cool:

As you already noticed this is not stock bar, but a replacement. I will add option to apply your own images. I can add delay after clicking button to allow to click another button, but should I still hide immediately if user clicks anywhere else on screen?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
I'd say, leave a second or so in either instance, or make it an option with a slider timer.

As for a name, only a couple of suggestions.

Bargone,Bar-b-gone, or autobar.

Call them silly:D

EDIT: Peek-A-Bar?

DBL EDIT: Navup? (damm overtied :what: )

Sent from Z Beast
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tony.Cool:
I'm same as TCool (couldn't login before)

I also agree with this, maybe an auto hiding for 1-2 seconds after last touch. Just in case you press any key for mistaken (just last apps instead of home or so)

Also, long press HOME doesn't take you to Google Now, but I think this is a bit irrelevant and can be easily customized.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] thephantom:
Hide em keys.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tony.Cool:
Would be nivel if touching home, recent apps por menu doesn't hide toolbar automatically...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ratcav:
He will add an option
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] diba320:
I WANT the autohide, to be honest, hiding the navnar is the purpose of the app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] darkraiderfan:
I would prefer that the swipe bar be black not bright red.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Currently whilst in alpha, it will be red. When stable, dev will make it different, and repositional (correct me if I'm wrong)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] leos0000:
Hey dev.im sorry bro.but i lost my soft keyz.with latest aplication idk why :( .help please :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] xXYoshiXx:
Would be nice if there would be an option of hiding the bar without trigger zone for people like me who use a replacement like LMT. Also a shortcut for toggling on/off would be great.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Nathanation:
Nice app. Whilst using it though I decided it would be more useful if on the softkey bar there was a down arrow to hide the bar, that way I could hide the soft keys when just using certain apps then swipe it back up for normal use.

Basically a on/off toggle rather than the auto hide feature.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MrBIMC:
I have such an app :)

I was developing an app like that almost a half-a-year ago :) Got stuck with cool gesture-detection system and gave up :(

Anywhay, right now my app is much more *advanced* than GMD's, if somebody interested, i could renew developing process :)

Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5oalbgb7plr830z/com.mrbimc.udn.apk

P.S. Should I create thread about my app?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ratcav:
Wow, this is great! It would be awesome if you and StupidIdea would create this application together, but I don't think this will happen
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tony.Cool:
I agree, would be nice if both apps would fusion together. I'm sad to say that MrBIMC's app doesn't work for me (it doesn't hide real bar, switch is disabled).

BTW, I think I found a bug. Does any of you have Facebook Chat bubbles enabled? For me, navbar red line goes to middle screen and can't open it...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Techgod:
Works gr8 on Optimus L9 thanks a ton !!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] arman68:
Yes, please do not hijack this thread.

Your app is really cool. This is the best navbar replacement I have seen. It deserves to live and be known. However the gesture to bring it up seems really fiddly at the moment. Why don't you use an always visible on top small button instead? This is what Amazon does with the kindle fire, and I think it works very well and is ergonomic; certainly better than the default android bar which is a waste of space.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MrBIMC:
I created thread for my app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270198

And yes, UDN doesn't hides real navbar, check FAQ inside of the app (or go to my thread)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
So, I was able to spoof soft buttons for Android. I will upload an update later today. I added option for spoof and when its ON, Android thinks that soft keys are visible. One known problem is that then it leaves a wallpaper gap on the bottom, so option is set to OFF by default. On bright side, menu buttons are displayed as usual when keys are spoofed.

At the moment I no plans to merge with other apps. Coding UI tweaks is easy. Tricky part here was to hide soft keys. And I like how I can show bar and click button with one swipe in my app ;) Anyway there will be option to turn off trigger and everyone will be free to use any other app for bar replacemen :highfive:.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] flixos:
It works great on Galaxy nexus running 4.2.2, great job dev. Get rid of that red line, making it transparent (yep, i already know that you will do that in the paid version), and i'll be more than happy to talk about it on our blog eandroid.es
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fer2503:
can you add an option tomake your bar layout the same like xperia z in 25dpi?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
New version 0.5

0.5:

- Added 'Spoof soft keys' option.

- Added notification option with soft keys toggle.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] darren1:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
I restart this process when hiding soft keys, so probably after that it appears in running apps.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tony.Cool:
I'm having this error while using facebook chat bubbles, take a look. I can't enable keys.

And what 'Spoof soft keys' option means and what is this for?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ds10192:
Version .5, Looking Good

I like how its coming along. Plenty of options is always best. :)

Nexus 4, 7 - Everything working great

I'm not seeing the problem that you mentioned with the wallpaper when spoof keys is active however.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
So you get the menu button in the top right, on the action bar.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] diba320:
Wallpaper issue exists, but only in portrait mode. Same as in other apps like hidebar or full!screen. If I could get the quicknavbar which I had on my customrom on my Kindle Fire (jandycane ROM), it would be perfect.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ds10192:
Can someone post a picture of the wallpaper issue so I can confirm if I am seeing it. I don't see a difference in my wallpaper and I have spoof keys active.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jtc42:
I'm not getting the wallpaper issue on my Nexus 7. Seems to be working perfectly!

Update: Nexus 4 seems fine too.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jtc42:
I literally have zero issues with this app now. It runs absolutely perfectly. The softkey spoofing is a work of genius. Really hoping a final version is close :fingers-crossed:

The only "issue" I have is the buttons on the Nexus 4 are quite bunched up to the middle compared to stock. It's a non-issue really though. Just looking to get the red bar gone haha
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] linjian525:
Is it possible to hide nav buttons ONLY for some apps? When using video/map/game apps, auto-hiding is great. But for launcher and many other apps, I'd like to keep navbar unchanged.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zuujin:
Hi,

this app is what I missed. Works like a charm for a few days now on Nexus 10, stock, rooted, KTManta-Kernel with GMD GestureControl. Waiting to buy the final version without time limit and red bar ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mdcykkk9:
There is a very easy way to hide red bar if you want to permanently hide the nav bar and use gestures to navigate... just force stop application ... I am waiting to buy final app and support a great developer also , just add shortcuts to show and hide navbar to use them with Gesture control. Other features can comes later ...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] diba320:
Excellent hint with the fc! Now the nasty red line is gone, the area is not used and in combination with UDN I have a navbar with reduced hight being activated all over the buttom area. A pitty that I need to combine apps. And again ... quicknavbar ... thats what In really miss. Pie and LMT are not an appropriate replacement for it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gdeath07:
I cant still install it. Done clearing some files with 4.5gb free memory. Pls help

You could use this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40365760

Otherwise in PA just use Expanded Desktop/Full Screen (PIE).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jtc42:
The method you shared works however it disables the in-app menu button and performs a mod to system files. Also I want to stay on stock ROM so this method is perfect. Just hoping it's still being developed :)

Nexus 4 toggle softkeys and navigation bar

I think it not very customizable so i made a combination of tasker and gmd gesture control,,,it works well for me and also i can stick with the softkeys that i have and no restart necessary.

But only if you guys do have a custom rom with expanded desktop functionality

Search youtube for "" nexus4 toggle soft keys/navigation "" by himanshu jain ....unfortunately this site wont let post links :X
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
This is still work in progress. The dev is making sure it functions as it should, the the eye-candy will come.

no news of evolution, you are still working of it, i'm sure but any chance having infos ?

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jtc42:
I'm sure the final app will be released in good time :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
New version 0.7

0.7:

- Added Trigger position, width and size options.

- Added Quick NavBar size option.

- Added option to auto hide NavBar when selected buttons are clicked.

I plan to release just functionality visible in 0.7 in initial release and I will add themes support and more features (like additional user defined buttons and custom long click actions) in future updates. Testing it and it should be ready in a couple of days. Let me know if I forgot something that should be added for initial release.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] darren1:
Will the Pro version start on boot?

New version 0.9

0.9:

- New icon

- Added auto start on boot option

- Added launcher shortcuts: show, hide, toggle soft keys

- Added IAP key purchase.

- Published in Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys

Added launcher shortcuts that allow to integrate app with Gesture Control, Tasker and other apps.

Its final version. May take a few hours to appear in Play Store. Let me know if you find any bugs and I will fix it asap.

I only enabled Nexus devices in Play Store for now :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XT69:
It shows in Play Store as incompatible, however the apk works great on my Galaxy Nexus stock 4.2.2 :)

bought the pro key, but couldn't tweak anything besides the strip height... will custom colours be added? i really need the standard ICS blue :) thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
PRO key allows to make trigger transparent (invisible). Turn 'trigger Visible' OFF. It still be visible inside preferences to allow easy size adjustments, but it will be transparent in all other apps. I can add color selection if you still want it.

Its amazing how inconvenient Play Store device management is. I had to click on more than a thousand devices to disable them and some devices appear multiple times. I will review the selection.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
This obviously can be reverted right? Since I will be getting it from the play store once the update fixes the problem that those 2 users from the comments are having..

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XT69:
thank you :) that color selection could be a great addition if you ask me, I like the look of the trigger, just maybe other colour would better fit for some people's overall visual setup, for example mine :)

one more feature suggestion: once the navbar is active, swiping it down would make it disappear, so if not using autohide, you could hide it easily

feature suggetion 2: if the screen is turned off while the navbar is active, turning it back on, it is still active now, an option to make it autohide when turning the screen off, would be great too :)

anyway, superb app, keep them coming :)

So for now I have these features for (fast) next update:

1) Quick NavBar transparency slider

2) Trigger color picker

3) Hide Quick NavBar on screen off.

I'm reviewing the listing and hopefully fix it soon.

You can download it from first post and you can still opt to upgrade to PRO. No matter how you install the app, key is always managed by PlayStore and you can switch between Play Store/XDA version - app will stay unlocked and remember it even if you uninstall the app and install it later.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XT69:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XT69:
are you planning to add a manual method of hiding the navbar some time in the future? as i said swiping it down would be great, or even tapping it on a neutral area, lets say the left side where it is empty... :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] flixos:
BUG DETECTED: I selected "run at boot" option. When restarted the device, after asking for the code, it keeps saying "unlocking the sim card", and it never let access to anything in the phone. I had to turn it off, remove the sim card, uninstall the app, then restart the device with the sim.

Sad thing rating on PlayStore is not great. I really hope app works at least for some of you :confused: Please take a minute and rate it: Play Store

Lets fight haters back :highfive:

Thanks, investigating.

So you don't want to hide it automatically? I can add it, but I only can detect swipes in Quick NavBar area, so I have to try how convenient it is. And its obvious that Quick NavBar is an overlay so it will cover part of running application if kept on screen.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
Hiding manually would be great.. I'm so use to having it and I keep forgetting now..

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XT69:
noo, i think we misunderstood each other :) i use it as it is by default, autohide on everything but back, but there are moments, when i don't want to touch the home button, or menu or these for it to disappear, so let's say i would touch the left side of the bar, where there's nothing, and it would hide, just as if I pressed the home button, just without returning to the homescreen...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fer2503:
I can't download it from playstore because it isn't compatible with Xperia z. Can You add the possibility of change icons and the manually hide? And the possibility of set the softkey distance
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Quick NavBar is hidden automatically if you touch anywhere on screen (other than bar itself). Isn't it working this way for you?

Enabled Xperia Z now. It will take some time for Play Store to refresh.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] XT69:
yes, it is working great, but sometimes, there's nothing to touch on the screen, as everything is touch sensitive...so I don't have to scroll just because of that, or to click a button, etc...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fer2503:
Yes it work, can you make the possibility to change the softkey distance and the softkey's png?

Sometimes the navbar doesn't turn on with swipe
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Khaiyan:
As a user of GMD gesture control, this is much appreciated and should go along nicely :) I have two questions:

1) I'm aware that this does not work with PA, and that you are working on fixing this issue. How likely is this? I'm hoping that this will be fixed sooner rather than later because I'm really eager to try this out!

2) I'm not sure if it was said elsewhere but what are the Pro features?

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Its too early to say something about PA. In general PRO allows you to make trigger transparent (invisible) or disable/remove trigger (and quick navbar) completely.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fer2503:
possibility to change the distance between the softkey?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
I will add theming and customizations in the future.
