[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] TodWulff:
I too am a lover of a static nav bar on my Galaxy Devices.

I now have a SM-N910P now and am frustrated as heck at not being able to get it functional here, on a rooted stock NK2. I used to run SlimKat 4.4.2 on my SPH-L710 and loved the navbar that they baked into the ROM. SlimLoli is maturing for the Note 4, but it doesn't yet have any S-Pen support baked in. This fact, when coupled with how well Samsung and Sprint have done with TouchWiz on the Note 4 have caused me to hold off on putting a custom ROM on the device.

So, what to do.?. Editing buildprop does indeed cause the looping system UI FC. UDN is an excellent solution barring one issue, and that it is doesn't have a means to dedicate a portion of the display to the nav bar. It just overlays on top of the launcher's/app's UIs. I'd be willing to pay for a solution that fixes this.

Pie controls have never really clicked with me. Not yet being willing to move away from NK2, I find that I am wondering if there is a way to force a portion of the bottom of the screen to be entirely dedicated to a specific app, all of the time. As depicted in this screeny, UDN overlays and it is frustrating as hell.

[IMG="Screeny of UDN overlaying on UI."]http://i.imgur.com/RnNINQI.jpg[/IMG]

Anyone have any ideas yet?

i tried decompiling systemUI but i didnt found navigationbar pngs as well as the navigation_bar.xml sources were omitted.. . i think samsung didnt include this navigation bar option. . even if you install gravity box . .it will prompt systemUI has stopped because sources are not there . . hope someone can modify systemUI and add this option.

Due to the resoultion of this device (means that Samsung needs to readapt every png to the native resolution) they didn't remade them since there's no need to use them. That's why it was cut. As they said before, If you want them for easy access in one hand operation, you could use side key panel or screen resize features available in settings app.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
I'm puzzled...may I ask, why would you want/need the soft keys in the first place since you have the capacitive keys (which don't take up any room on the screen)? Honestly, for me that's one of the main reasons I'm sticking with Samsung.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for one-handed operation there are plenty of better solutions - LMT, dynamic bar have already been suggested and I can confirm LMT can help with this and a lot more (I've been using it extensively for years, including its built-in gestures + Tasker functions + more).

Furthermore, you can also remap the capacitive keys if Samsung's latest changes inconvenienced you. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] whittikins:
I like to touch the bottom bezel without accidentally pressing a capacitive key. The bezel is comparable to other phones which have on-screen keys, and it's strange that the Note 4 can't be modified to enable them.

The on-screen keys hide themselves in full screen videos and games, so I don't mind the navbar at the bottom. Dynamic bar works, but it displays OVER the existing UI (like the keyboard or on top of buttons in applications). Another benefit to on-screen buttons is that they can be customized and look correct. I know we can swap the Back and Recents button on the Note 4, but that doesn't make the symbols look correct. I have the white version, so when capacitive keys are not lit up, they're invisible and look just like a phone without the keys.

Additionally, I would rather tap the on-screen Home key than press the physical key. I'd rather remap the actual button to something else that I could quickly access. On-screen keys also have the navigation ring (swipe up for Google Now) as well as other shortcuts you choose to add.

Anyway, there are plenty of reasons that some people prefer on-screen keys. What's strange is that the Note 4 is the first Android phone I've come across that cannot use Android's built-in on-screen keys (navigation bar). One rom has fixed it, Dynamic Kat, but there are no mods or other stock-based roms that allow it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] kamirza:
Ok folks. A bit of a good news. I'm using note 4. Wanam lollipop rom. And I've got the navbar by editing the build prop. I had xposed Installer and dynamic navbar installed. When this was enabled after editing build prop I gotbootloop. But I disabled dynamic navbar on xposed and edited build props then it worked. All other apps etc adjust to change in dpi and you nothing hidden behind the navbar at bottom except the camera. That is half cut and the list of recent apps. The kill all button is hidden. Still better than the dynamic navbar which cuts everything.

If helpful.. Press Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ddaharu:
I'm happy for you. I don't know how to edit build prop but hopefully some devs may implement it in their roms :D the only thing missing now is cm12 "highfive"
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] :
I tried that way before and I'm telling ya, some apps got problems with it. NOT COOL AT ALL
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] mikesnav:
So to summarize, there is no way to get a stable functioning set of soft keys?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] kamirza:
Well if you want to believe that. Like I said mine are working absolutely fine without any problem what so ever.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
tahnk u thank u :) only i get faulty is that the recent apps is missng now so i must clos one by one , any iddea how to get around that :P thanx in advanced [MENTION=4294917]whittikins[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] lucaoldb:
You can remap home key by using all in one gestures
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
when i have disabled all the buttons . when i then press to open all the recent apps , the navbar is over the text to close all and activity , is it possible to get to move up the bar just a little bit maybe ;), [MENTION=4604892]lucaoldb[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] lucaoldb:
Sorry, I don't exactly get what you mean. I seem to understand that you have just disabled the 2 capacitive keys (recent and back) while the physical home key is still active... If it is like that, you can remap the physical home key by using the above mentioned app, setting long press for 'recent apps'.

Edit: maybe I got it, you mean that the navbar overlays the button to close all the running activities. If that's the issue, you need to edit systemUI to make the navbar shorter. I remember I made something like that (though for a different purpose) with my note 2 running a 4.4.2 rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
yes :) correctly , [MENTION=4604892]lucaoldb[/MENTION] , how to that ? shorter , the navbar overlay yes, maybe a apk mod to get a close all button on the top as in stock cm12 :) when the great softkeys enable :),, all buttons disable home back and witch app :), now only left nav bar transparancy and not hidden the recent apps :=),
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] lucaoldb:
Ok, this is a how to reduce the heigth of the navbar http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2624724

I remember I had to edit something in systemUI too, because the back button was way bigger than the other ones (I wrote it in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541860&page=1137 and you can also watch a video that shows the small navbar I got).

Regarding the way to put somewhere else the 'close' button, it would obviously require to edit systemUI.apk. I remember a thread for the S3 lte where Moonknightus had modded the systemUI just like the AOSP one and maybe you can have a look at what he modded.

My note 4 is still unrooted (almost 15 days: it's a world record for a device of mine!) and I don't plan to play with system files for a little while:)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
maybe a easy guide this was to much :), but it would great but the icon is small now but maybe i can get the recent and close all to com back under there navbar :) heheh it even overlay almost the whole call button, so i removed it [MENTION=4604892]lucaoldb[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] lucaoldb:
Well, as you can see in the thread I linked to you and in the youtube video, I faced myself the fact that many apps by Samsung have a fixed layout, so that the do not scale when you put in a navbar that should not be there. In note 2 camera and dialer were not ok, in note 4 the recent app screen becomes unusable... The touchwiz is not designed for on screen keys, that's it. If you want to let it work properly with a navbar, you have got to mod a lot of apps, which maybe is not worth to:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
No its not worth it :-/ thanx anyway :)

Update Lollipop 5.0.1 they now added the navigation bar option , I just repalce home icon in systemUI
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
How to do that? :) that's a good news help :) for now it's not working so good when the n a v bar overlays all the menu :-/ so do u know how to fix please help me best regards [MENTION=6008647]Near_07[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Near_07:
in android lollipop bob4 and boc3 you can now enable navigation keys by just adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the end of the line [IMG="build.prop"]http://imgur.com/AUjwLYD[/IMG]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
thanx i alrteady know that but its overlay the whole menu :/( thats wy i ask
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] whittikins:
Image not working. Can you re-post it?

And are you referring to Touchwiz Lollipop or AOSP/CM Lollipop?

Which rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Near_07:
im referring to touchwiz lollipop heres my navigation bar (ss: http://imgur.com/vZBpeBT ) i replace home icon change to "galaxy note 4"

you can enable it by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to tha last line of build.prop (screenshot = http://imgur.com/AUjwLYD)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] alexxutzu:
Can we change the order of buttons?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Near_07:
i didnt try it but it is possible, if u just edit navigation_bar.xml and rearrange its order. u need to decompile systemUI.apk and look for navigation_bar.xml since Xposed is not yet working to lollipop touchwiz.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] stormonya:
its not really a fix but this works....switch to Google now launcher...it will temp fix the overlay issue....it has to do with touchwiz with the problem...but hey try it...you will be happy...hit the thanks button if i helped.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
i flashed aicp rom :) there is navigation bar and all is working exept pen, a app is coming to fix that :) regards

ye and thats why i hate tw right now , :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] TodWulff:
With a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running rooted stock Touchwiz Android 5.0.1 (B0B7), I can confirm that when adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the end of the buildprop, the Android NavBar becomes functional :

https://db.tt/rbhjoVwu

https://db.tt/iUI4I2bW

And, surprisingly, it seems to restore the 'power + volume down' screenshot shortcut! YEAH!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] alexxutzu:
Yeah.....but when you try to call someone you cannot see the entire keyboard!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] TodWulff:
Ah. Well, I am running a non-standard dpi (@480 vs 640: https://db.tt/qRFLvNug ), so it isn't an issue for me, currently. I did note that the buttons were masked on the recent apps UI (https://db.tt/m3fxG78c ). I'll be digging into the .xml files this week to try to customize the navbar to a smaller geometry, changing the order, and seeing if I can add some others...
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] alexxutzu:
I mean on standard dpi.......with normal size of keyboard call.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] TodWulff:
Yep, understood. I've noted another issue with the 'stock' navbar on a Note 4, if one users the fingerprint sensor, it is very tough not to stroke the home softkey when swiping to unlock something. If one has specific apps locked with an app that uses the scanner, it is a real pita to get the app open without tapping the virtual home button. This may cause me to reconsider use of the navbar, If I can't get it reconfigured to open the space immediately above the scanner...

[EDIT]Hey there. Just a courtesy heads-up that I've moved on to cmRemiX (v3.8, atm) which is a cm 12.1 based version of Android 5.1 for the SM-N910P. It has a customizable navbar and a plethora of very useful features that I'm using as my daily driver now. I'm unsubscribing.[/EDIT]
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] n_boy86:
Yes but the recent app close all not working :-/ it's so bad sure I could use touchwiz but the lack of this . I wait thanx anyway
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] dpcdpc11:
Any updates on this problem? Every time I try to give someone the phone to watch a video or a photo they accidentally press the back button because of the narrow bezel.

So the soft keys are a must! Why can't samsung just make this as a system option? Their solution with the side key panel just sucks!

It works but the softkeys overlap some important system apps like the dialer, task manager or camera. Anyway to fix that?

Also it would be nice if they could hide on full screen apps like the gallery app for example.

Just noticed that my phone is already bent. The only thing I can think of is that this could be the result of the arm band I used the first day I had it. FFFFFFFFFKKKKK. This is real BS I hate cases but I hope you guys are using them..

EDIT: Adding pictures. The phones seems to have bent at the frame at the power button - there is a slight dimple right below it.

I am extremely sad, mad, angry, and upset.

The Glass is warped on both sides. I am afraid of using the phone because it might crack if it gets too hot :(

[Xperia Z3 General] digitalpirate:
Have you contacted t-mobile?
[Xperia Z3 General] dhaliwal925:
Never put the phone in my back pocket, and I don't wear tight fitting pants. The phone is usually in my hand when I am driving, and on the desk at work.

The armband couldn't have been too tight otherwise I would have no blood flow to my arm, and if it was near my elbow no movement. However, this is the only thing I can think of because of the above stated.

No, not yet. I think I would be just better off returning the phone - it's literally just been 4 days.
[Xperia Z3 General] Kag:
Screen cracks are fairly common with arm bands

First time i see a bent phone from it.

It is easy to generate a lot of force when jogging even when it isn't really tight, it tends to be the g-force doing the damage.

Well no harm trying to request for return.

I'd say it is really a bad timing to return a bent phone due to bendgate.

Good luck.

I hope this is a rare case. As much as I care most about the thickness of a device when it comes to dimensions, it does make them bendy.

[Xperia Z3 General] Elysian893:
None of this adds up to me. Can't see how an arm band could cause this. I tried bending my phone a little bit after seeing this thread, and it's a little flexible, but my bending didn't cause a permanent bend (granted I wasn't trying to permanently bend it either). If you don't wear tight fitting jeans and don't put it in your back pocket, all I can think is you tried to bend it yourself... If it's not that then there is something else you did that you're not telling us...
[Xperia Z3 General] sunoryjim:
Please show us what the armband looks like.

What model phone(s) is the armband designed for?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Whatever the cause, using wooden blocks and clamps you should be able to bend it back. I have seen it done with an iPhone 5/5S.
[Xperia Z3 General] dhaliwal925:
Look, I'm just telling what could be the issue by giving you as much information as possible. The phone is big enough and skinny enough to bend - aluminium isn't known for its strength. I am not rich enough to buy a phone and bend it just for fun. I switched to T-Mobile and ran with an AT&T M8 waiting for this thing to get released, and I'm just sharing my concerns and experience with community.

I don't need to lie to you, even I don't know how in the heck this is possible!

[Xperia Z3 General] Elysian893:
That's a significant bend for you to not know how it happened.
[Xperia Z3 General] dhaliwal925:
And that is exactly my point! Phones shouldn't just bend.

Besides I think you have already made up your mind about me so there is no point in arguing with you. Just consider this a warning and be careful with your phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
You must have massive muscle bulges, while running the flex of your deltoid and biceps/triceps probably caused it to bend. Its a testament to your strength.:D

Comedy aside, it definately sucks though. I do not think TMO will replace it. It does seem more fragile than the Z2 according two those who have both.
[Xperia Z3 General] chetly968:
I usedto have a copper z3 that hada slight bend in it just like yours. What made mine worsewas a bulge that separated the aluminumfrom the glass just behind the power button. Like you im not sure how it hapoened as i usually take great care of my phones (have not dropped one since 2006). I was out for the night with friends while it was in my front pocket. The jeans were a little snug but not really tight. I think we may see more issues like this in the future as more time passes. I had had the phone for some time before i noticed it so it was definitely a new occurrence.
