You can get rid of the navbar altogether, turn on off-screen navigation button. (settings/system/system navigation). This will now make your fingerprint scanner your navbar. Short press for back, Long press for home, swipe for app switch.

Thank you. I know that but I'm happy with my navbar. On Mediapad M5 10, navbar is in the bottom on landscape. Why it's not in M5 8.4? Is there a way to solve it.

I'm using ADW Launcher with navbar on the bottom in landscape mode.

Has anyone figured out how to make the nav buttons show on the bottom when in landscape mode?
I've tried to other launchers, but none seem to work. And it appears that every launcher sees the tablet as a phone, and doesn't want to use the tablet style nav buttons, which will rotate to the bottom in landscape mode.

Depends on some launcher you use.
Usually is used multi touch or menu key.
(Sorry for my bad english).
Hmm.. Thanks for the replies, but didn't do the job though.
I use [CM9][ROM][ICS 4.0.4][JUN02] Nova HD Rebuild v1.0.1 | LG UI 3.0.
When I double click on home screen, it zooms in and icons dissapear, don't know how to edit number of home screens. When I click on the menu button, I get the following:
Theme, Home Settings, App settings and System Settings. Tried them all, and couldn't find a way to remove any of the home screens....
It should be there in mostly home settings, or may even be in app settings...do double check it once...
Typed using a small touchscreen
Give a try at cyanogenmod forums and post it back, I am completely clueless.
Reduce the no of home screens

Search Button Missing

I'm using Liquid Splasher and Apex Launcher because I like having a dedicated "search" button on my virtual hardware keys on my Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Tab? I've searched and can't seem to find a way to fix it. Any rom/launcher/theme suggestions to do it?
Stock launcher trebuchet.
Settings/launcher/home screen/ tick enable persistent search bar.

That's not what I mean. Look at the difference. From my S3:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
From the WiFi Galaxy Tab 10.1
Edit:
That last screenshot doesn't show it, but I only have the Home, Back, and Menu bottoms on the bottom.

The tablet layout is a little different. Tablets don't have the magnifying glass in the Navigation bar. Trying touching the Google button in the top left portion of the tab to search.

Anyway to put home/back/recent app buttons on the sides while in horizontal mode?

I just find it a little bit of a stretch while holding it horizontally to always reach to the middle of I am always holding it with my hand on the sides. Using Nova, but don't think that there is an option in there to change it. Any ideas?

Using the app All in one Gestures you can define edge swiping gestures for Back and Home. Works great for me.
Thanks...giving it a try. Also found [ home anywhere] under small apps that you can open with your recent tabs. Can make a floating home buttons where you want

I might have something. The app GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys has this option:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Haven't tried that because I got rid of my softkeys altogether by editing my build.prop (root needed); change
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
You can use Build Prop Editor.
I then use GMD GestureControl to use some side swiping gestures for Back and Home. You can also use the non-root All in one Gestures for that.

Strange touch related issue with homescreen - LG V20

I somewhat recently got an LG V20. (H990DS)
Quite soon I became aware of the following issue:
Several times per day, when turning on the screen, either through fingerprint or pattern, the homescreen doesn't respond to touch.
I've activated "show touches" in the developer menu, and it show that the touches are being registered by the screen, but nothing at all happens.
Horrible stuff caught on camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I first press the home key, then everything works as it should. It's like there's some kind of invisible overlay on the homescreen that intercepts the touches. It's also possible to pull down the status bar while the homescreen is non-responsive. Selecting anything in the notifications resets the homescreen to a working state.
Swiping the notifications up without selecting anything preserves the homescreen in the non-touch-responding state.
Things I've tried:
Factory reset
Rooting/downgrading ROM
Other launchers than stock: Nova, Next Laucher 3D Shell
Checking accessibility settings
Why u do me this horrible thing, Android?
So I'm all out of ideas. I've held off on using this phone as my daily driver because of this horrible nuisance.
I'm hoping that someone here has an idea about what's going on.

lock screen flashlight shortcut toggled by tap

This is too specific for googling,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you go into settings > lock screen > shortcuts
and then place flashlight as one of the shortcuts (which I recommend by the way), and lets say, place camera on the other side..
For some reason, the flashlight is (also) toggled by tap rather then swipe like the other widgets.
(same thing for the Do Not Distrub mode)
This causing a lot of accident toggles from edge palm holding and I find my flashlight on by accident multiple times..
I couldn't find any way to change the way the flashlight is toggled, swipe is perfectly fast enough for me and secure enough to avoid accidental toggles.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!
I had the same issue and after the last update, it went back to swipe.
