yeah, it doesn't immediately trigger the button but it still stops the need for swiping. makes using a warm screen better :)

edit: I would say an idea to play around with is where the buttons are centered at. for example, those who enjoy the tablet uis can have it set to the left edge. this can make some settings like 20% width with it offset all the way to the left easier to do.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Shortcut is where all launcher shortcuts are - in widgets list. But if you want to call it from other app, that app should have option to call shortcut (I know tasker does). Then pick GMD: Hide Soft Keys->Hide Soft Keys or other action: Show Quick NavBar, Hide Soft Keys, Show Soft Keys, Toggle Soft Keys.
[Android Apps and Games] ivanisevic82:
Thank you very much!!

So I see that in the configuration of the plug in give only the possibility to show quick navbar, but not to hide!

So all ok when I open the app to I link it (chrome), but I want that the bar is hide when chrome is closed.

Is possible?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Quick NavBar is an overlay and it hides automatically. If you want to hide stock navigation bar and add Quick NavBar you need to call 'Hide Soft Keys'. Then stock soft keys will be removed and Quick NavBar added and you can open by swiping trigger as usual. You will need to execute separate task when you leave Chrome and call 'Show Soft Keys'.
[Android Apps and Games] ivanisevic82:
Hi, thanks for your support, i will try to explain me better.

I have a phone (Meizu MX2) with a rom that has not soft keys.

I want something similar a softkey, but only for a specific app, google chrome.

I though to use quickbar for this.

I created a Profile with Chrome in Tasker.

So when I open chrome there is a task that use the plugin "Show Quick NavBar".

It works perfectly and Quick NavBar appear.

But when I want to close Chrome, I want to hide Quick NavBar too!

I know that it can hides automatically, but I don't want it beacause I want it is shown as long I stay in chrome, and immediatly disappear when I close chrome.

I try to use the task with the plugin "Show Soft Keys" when I leave chrome...but it doesn't work...maybe because I don't have soft keys!

So, my question is: is there a way to kide Quick NavBar when I leave Chrome?

I possible to have a plugin "Hide Quick NavBar" or is only possible to "Show Quick NavBar".

If this solution is not possible...could be possible to modify my build.prop to add in my phone (that normally doesn't have it) the typical stock android softkeys (not the quick navbar) and after use your tasker plugin to show/hide it when I open/leave chrome?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] mrSpinx:
why if I activate spoof soft key appear a black bar under wallpapers?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
This may be confusing (maybe I should rename shortcuts now), but you should try:

1) Install latest version 0.99 if you don't have it yet.

2) Open GMD Auto Hide Soft Key app and uncheck 'Hide Soft Keys'. This way it will not attempt to hide/show stock navigation bar, but instead just show/hide Quick NavBar. You have it checked and this is why 'Show Soft Keys' didn't work for you.

3) To enable Quick NavBar call shortcut 'Hide Soft Keys' or 'Show Quick NavBar if you want it visible immediately'. I will rename 'Hide Soft Keys' in next update to match recent changes. Think about as 'Start Service'.

4) To disable Quick NavBar call shortcut 'Show Soft Keys' (aka 'Stop Service') :silly:

Show Quick NavBar shortcut is mostly for triggering it once with other tools, like GMD Gesture Control gestures, but you can use it too if you want it visible (not just enable trigger) immediately when you start Chrome.
[Android Apps and Games] :
0.99 is great except the red bar
[Android Apps and Games] ivanisevic82:
Ok, I bought it.

Ok. I uncheck "Hide Soft Keys"

Ok, I want it visible immediatly when I open Chrome, so I chose "Show Quick NavBar".

Ok, I've done, but THIS IS the point that doesn't work, in my phone.

And I think is normal that doesn't work...or better, I don't understand how could it works!

I don't understand how could hide the Quick NavBar, with the plugin "Show Soft Keys"...this is a no-sense for me!

Anyway, with this setting, exactly like before, when I open Chrome the Quick NavBar is visible immediatly, but when I leave Chrome it REMAIN in the screen, and the only way to remove it is to chose an exit option in the "Auto Hide" setting of your app.

I chose to close it by the last sentence "Anywhere on Quick NavBar"...but this is not the way I was looking for.

I only want to close (or hide) the Quick NavBar automatically, when I close chrome.

I don't understand if is possible to do this.

Maybe there something that I don't understand...
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Lets do it easy way ;) Today it is too late already, but tomorrow I will upload new development version to XDA with 'Hide Quick NavBar' shortcut. The way I described it would remove trigger and stop service but it does not close Quick NavBar if its still visible on screen (by default it is closed with touching anywhere on screen or on buttons). If that is the case, then I misunderstood the requirement :o
[Android Apps and Games] ivanisevic82:
Very good!

Finally i was able to explain me... Sorry, my English is poor.

So, i will wait for the new version with this modify that is exactly what I need!

I just found your app and like it but I have an issue whenever I enable the app when i go to servicies the "System UI" Service is constantly in the 'restarting' mode at 0.00B in the Running apps. Is that normal? or does it waste battery because its constanly restartin? I want to hopefully get cleared up before deciding to purchase the pro key. Thanks!

Now on Xperia Z the problem of Google Now button freeze, but the button Sometimes freeze on the screen too like other button (close all and previous) but now when freeze i can use the softkey and it disappear when i tap on softkey. Sorry for My bad English
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I'm restarting System UI to force stock navigation bar redraw. I will check why you have one instance stuck and see if I can fix it, but it should not cause any problems.

It happens if you have 'Spoof Soft Keys ON'. Turn it off and wallpaper should be ok, but you will loose Menu button in applications action bar. Unfortunately you have to decide which one is more important.

Check 'Notification' and you can hide/show stock bar with switch in notification. I will add functionality to assign custom actions/apps to each spot (buttons and rings) in the future.

Thanks, so I still missed some race condition. I'm looking for it and will fix it. Do I understand it correctly that it stays after clicking some soft key button that is supposed to hide Quick NavBar too?

Same problem here on my Nexus 7.
[Android Apps and Games] namartlu:
Hi, would like to try this. Currently on CM10.1 on Nexus 4. Does this app support the "Quick Launch" soft buttons of CM10.1? By holding onto the home button, up to 3 shortcuts can be selected. If not currently, any plan to add?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New dev version 0.9.10-dev1

New dev version 0.9.10-dev1:

- Added shortcut 'Hide Quick Bar', renamed other shortcuts.

- Refactored stock navigation bar restart. This should solve issue where sometimes System UI is displayed in running apps list.

I changed how stock navigation bar is hidden on 0.9.10. Its still does not modify any files, but uses different api than before.

If you have stock android please try this version and report your device and does stock bar hiding/restoring works properly.

I'm not pushing it to Beta community before it is confirmed to work on various devices. Please download and try it here.

Tested:

Nexus 7 - works

Nexus 10 - ?

Nexus 4 - ?

others - ?

CM is not supported yet, but I will add it. After hiding stock navigation bar this app uses its own Quick Bar. It does have some quick actions (ring buttons for Previous app, Google Now, Close All, Screen Off), but I will make it fully customizable in the future.

Sorry, I found it, simply was in first page!

It perfectly work in my meizu mx2!

The hide shortcut works too, very good!

Only a little thing... And after it will be absolutely perfect (but is near just now!)...

When the task with the hide shortcut is activated, the bar hide after 4/5 seconds...

Is possible to make it quickly?

Thank you again!

Thanks. Maybe you don't understand me.I mean that

I want The navibar in your app display as like as my modded navigation

check my posted picture
[Android Apps and Games] MarkAndroid:
I think something is missing to be really functional.

In my opinion a fair compromise would be to turn off the real navigation bar only when viewing videos or photos in full screen, how it is managed from my TAB Galaxy Note 10.1 (unlike my ASUS TF700)

By overlaying the soft nav bar to the programs is not very functional.

It would also be useful to have a widget or shortcut in notification to hide / enable directly the real nav bar.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) Full screen apps already hide navigation bar, this apps allows to hide it on other apps, like games that don't trigger full screen automatically.

2) Overlay quick bar is only visible while stock navigation bar is hidden. And you can turn it off completely if you have other means for navigation.

3) Notification with stock bar switch is implemented already. You can enable it in settings, just check option... 'Notification' ;)

I will improve stock bar hide/restore speed if last dev version is confirmed to work properly.

I understand, Quick Bar now also has 5 buttons (and each button has additional ring buttons), just buttons now are not customizable. This will be added in the future.

Great, now I just want to get confirmation that its not broken for other devices. Anyone with N4, N10 or Xperia Z tried 0.9.10-dev1?
[Android Apps and Games] MarkAndroid:
1) full-screen applications already Hide Bar, this app allows you to hide it in other applications, such as games that do not trigger a full screen.

2) Overlay quick bar is only while stocks where the navigation bar is hidden. And you can switch off completely, if you have other means of navigation.

3) The notification bar, with storage switch is implemented already. You can enable it in the settings, just check option ... 'Notify Me'

:)

1) My Asus can not hide the navigation bar automatically in the programs of video or photos but only the top one.

2) I did not understand. To me the soft bar is always overlap. With what program I can re-enable it without letting it overlap?

3) I attivto option but you do not need to hide and activate the real bar but serves only to go into the settings of the program. I meant something more immediate type the program fullscreen +
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) So YouTube does not hide navigation bar on your Asus?

2) Quick Bar is overlay only (cannot make it other way), but if you don't like it you can a) switch back to stock navigation bar or b) disable it.

3) Notification has ON/OFF button on the right side. Isn't it visible on your device? You can click it to turn stock navigation bar ON/OFF. Its visible in video (but it was not pressed)

[Android Apps and Games] ivanisevic82:
Thank you very much!

I have anoter question...but this is the most difficult problem to resolve!

As you know I created a Tasker profile so when Chrome is active the bar appear...and in all other situation is is hide.

Remain only one problem: when I am in chrome and I have to write something appear the keyboard...but this bar is an overlay, so it cover part of the keyboard.

Not big problem, I can close it with a simple touch...but I'd like to have all automatic.

So there are 2 way to resolve the problem:

1) This is my favourite solution: create a sort of margin-bottom for chrome, so the overlay bar not will be over the app and it will not cover the keyborad.

2) NOT favourite, but acceptable, create another tasker profile that hide the bar when the keyboard is active.

Do you think in possible to use the solution 1)?

And alternatively the 2)?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1 - Not possible

2 - I think Tasker does not have 'keyboard' event, but maybe it was added recently. I don't use Tasker :o.

Thanks, but I know it works on S3. You don't need to add soft keys, you can use this app right away to add auto hide Quick Bar even on devices that don't have soft keys.
[Android Apps and Games] MarkAndroid:
1) youtube maybe it does, but I can not zoom the video in full-screen so I can not know if the bar actually disappears or becomes only black.

In the gallery, images and videos, only the top bar disappears.

At the bottom you will also disappear?

2-3) OK! the process of the reactivation is very slow. But it does work!

Putting it in the notification process is 28MB!

[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
Works really well on the Note 2 . I disable the capacitative keys in some apps (sketching, photo retouching) and this app means I can still have navigation buttons.

In a later version would it be possible to switch the sides of the Menu and Back buttons to match the Capacitative keys? Would it also be possible to add a kill button too?

Thanks anyway for this! :)

[Android Apps and Games] fredsky2:
awesome app, working good so far

quick question though,

is there a way to purchase the app outside google play and still get the app linked with your account? (like happens with steam> you can get a activation key or something)
[Android Apps and Games] Evanescense:
Fair enough. I've been using it for half a day now and the only bugs I can find present themselves at the settings panel while configuring the app. Namely, the on/off toggle is pretty buggy, you actually have to play with it for a while for the app to start working. In contrast, the trigger and quick navbar settings work flawlessly.

Once the app is in action, everything is stable and it runs like clockwork. Would be great if it wasn't a pain in the [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] to set it up though.

Great app!

New version 0.9.10-dev2

Uploaded to XDA:

0.9.10-dev2

- CyanogenMod suppot

Could anyone using CM try new version and confirm that it works on CM?

Also is anyone using beta versions from Google+? Is beta update system working properly?

Now it takes a few seconds to hide/show stock bar, but I will improve speed for next Play Store update.
[Android Apps and Games] Evanescense:
Thank you. For 0.9.10-dev2 the on/off toggle has improved tremendously and it now works on the spot without any noticeable delay. I also noticed the soft button on the far left to hide notification bar was incorporated and it's working great.

Only problem is that now when I turn the app off, it actually leaves me without soft buttons whatsoever (the notification bar comes back though).

As said before a must have app :)

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM 10.1
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
You are using CM right? So basically this is first version where I added CM support :o.

If you turn Enabled Off it will restore stock navigation bar. And if you mean that you kill my app (:crying:) then you can turn off Expanded Mode from Power Menu anytime (long press power key).
[Android Apps and Games] Evanescense:
Yes, I am using CM and what I meant to say is that by turning Enable > off, the trigger disappears and the notification bar reappears, but the soft buttons don't come back.

I modified my power menu so in don't have expanded mode there.

Not a deal-breaker in any way though :) I like this app very much.

Edit:

I am doing more testing. After restarting the device, the app now brings back the soft buttons when turned off.

One thing to mention is that now every time I Enable on/off, the settings close and it takes me to my app drawer whereas before restarting, it would simply hide/bring the not and soft bars.

No bugs detected as of now, I will report back if any appear. Thank you for your hard work, this is a very nice app.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Could you post exact CM version you are using? I flashed 20130411-M3 and Enable correctly shows and hides stock navigation bar :confused:

Anyone else can test it on CM?

The app is working correctly without flaws.

This is the ROM I'm using. I have the latest cm-10.1-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip (CM 10.1.1)

Everything is working fine, maybe I didn't explain myself clear enough.

When pressing Enable on/off in the app's settings panel, in addition of correctly hiding/showing the bars, it also closes the settings panel and takes me back to my app drawer. :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Got it. Re-uploaded 0.9.10-dev2 and it is fixed. Accidentally left some development stuff in previous build.:silly:

i just recently tried out the on screen navigation bar because it was a bit frustrating how the capacitive buttons on my acro s would sometimes not respond..OSBs are taking up some screen space though, but i can live with that trade off..now, i was searching on how to change the OSB images from stock Xperia to stock AOSP [as in Nexus4 navbar], and i stumbled upon this thread

http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=40319059

the problem was it was only able to change the navbar images in portrait mode but the images in landscape mode stayed in Xperia images..so i went through my systemui.apk and changed it..and then i thought why dont i make a tutorial, just to share..if i posted in the wrong section or if there is an existing thread like this feel free to report the thread..this is what i did:

just download the images here https://www.dropbox.com/s/7j9uhlgd6cgnugf/ics_sysbar.rar and do what the quote says...or to be simpler, just open your systemui.apk with any zip archiver [winrar, winzip, 7zip] and navigate to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder and drag-n-drop the files there..move the systemui.apk back to system/app directory in your device and reboot..thats it..
