Hi I'm looking for a mod to show the navbar controls in the power menu
I'm using kaos droid ROM which I think is based on cm10.1
I've used a ROM previously that had this feature I think it might have been aokp, I'm not totally sure but I'm wanting to stick with this ROM while getting this feature if possible
Can anybody point me towards a mod that will work on my nexus 7?
Thanks in advance
Are you referring to this?

No I already have this which I want to use so that I can run all apps in full screen, but there is a mod which will insert the navbar buttons (home, back, recent apps) into the power menu so that you can still access them when expanded desktop is enabled.
It's that mod that I'm looking for
I've enabled the navkey, but the capacitive buttons are still working, i have tried editing the key layout settings but its still there.. Also tried gravity box but no luck.. Any help? Thanks
Use gravity box to disable backlight (under display section). Then use a file manager and editor with root access (I used ES File Explorer) and open the file synaptics_dsx.kl (it is located under system>user>keylayout) and then edit it by adding a # in front of the key entries. Save, reboot and your hardware keys should be off

Thanks mate, i have disabled the light though editing synaptics didnt work, but i figured it out by editing atmel_mxt_T100_touchscreen.kl,
Now, my problem is switching the back button and recent..
Why do you want to do that?

I have enabled the soft keys via buildprop, disabled the hardware keys in the synaptic file, disabled the backlight and added double tap home key to sleep and long press home key for menu using gravity box. Looking good with the Pixel launcher, although unfortunately don't get the transparent white dock background.

You can do it manually if you have root, just need to change a value from 1 to 0 in the buildprop file (it's easy to find the relevant line as it has a description). However, I just use a free root app called Softkey Enabler from the Play Store. This makes it very quick to enable or disable the nav bar.
I leave the hardware keys on (because their long press functions are useful) but in accessibility settings I switch their layout around to match the nav bar. I use another root app called Keyboard Backlight Controller to disable their backlight.

Which rom are u on?
I tried soft key enabler on official 16s and 19s it didn't work
I am on cm13 umbrella and it's really good
Far better fingerprint recognition
Better battery life I lost 3% over night
and finally i tried ur buildprop thing for soft keys it worked thanks for that BTW
Did u get to make the Navbar transparent by any chance
I have used the settings in cm13 to turnoff the backlit of capacitive buttons but there still functional can explain how u disable them or use them as u do for long press
Cheers for the help

I am currently using 17S based Cuoco92. Fingerprint recognition has been just fine for me on Cuoco92, and on stock 16S, 17S and 19S - fast and accurate. The nav bar I have is transparent, just like in stock android. To disable the hard keys, go into system-usr-keylayout and edit the synaptics file (just add a # in front of the lines relating to the keys).

No, don't think there's anything you can do about that I'm afraid. I have actually gone back to just using the hard keys as they come. The soft nav keys are nice, but bit of a waste of screen space when you have perfectly good hard keys there to use.

Yea your right about that but the screen is big so having on screen buttons help in using the phone with one hand
I am surprised how the hardware buttons completely disappears when not back lit better then even OnePlus one
I have put a request in the feedback app for a feature like OnePlus one for choice between on screen and off screen

I would love them to add that feature. It was one of the best things about CM13 on my Zenfone 2.
Currently I am using the stock eui launcher (it's so smooth and light, and I don't really need an app drawer because I don't download so many apps) and the soft keys don't go so well with that launcher, but I also have the Pixel launcher installed, and I really like using the soft keys with that.
is there any way or chance that this can be switched on or something?
I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to. Under settings/system/system navigation you can choose navbar options or to use onscreen gestures instead.
yeahvi know bit want to use the google stock android pie one if possible
up, anyone knows?
Ah
The thread with multiple questions
I am currently running miui 10 android pie with magisk
All is well but I hate miui
1)I need a rom that has native call recording like in miui. It auto records phone calls and sound is very clear.
2) I got used to gestures by hiding the navigation button and its so much more easier. Also the navigation is bar, home button, recent, and back take up screen space.
There is a program called fluid navigation gestures but it's paid.
3) the rom had to be able to conserve battery and also accept different kernels
4) recovery. Should I stick with twrp or install orangefox or is there something better?
5) also, I want a rom that can support dual apps like installing whatsapp twice and so on

BUMP.

Hi,
is there a way to get rid of the Navigation Line at the bottom of the Screen when using gesture mode? Asus unfortunatly doesnt give the option like Samsung for example to hide it.
im a noob and dont know if theme modification is a thing at all or if i must switch completely to a different OS
thank you very much!

unfortunately it is not possible to remove the pill by making Asus native gestures work. What is possible is to remove the pill (using the entire screen) and use gestures from third-party applications. For me it is the best option. root is required

On March 31, Asus released an update (WW-33.0804.2060.113) that allows you to hide the navigation bar. There's a new learning curve when navigating with gestures without the navigation bar, and after a month like that, I don't miss the navigation bar.

Using Nova, this comes with bugs. Sometimes clicking on apps in the dock, they're unresponsive

Buggy navigation pill swipe from home on latest update
So, a week or so ago I've been forced to install an OTA update (despite disabling these in settings, because see this thread), and now my navigation is screwed up. Swiping right on the pill from any regular app correctly switches to the previous...

I would love to gen on some brainstorming for a fix, it feels absolutely terrible.
