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

hi as im not a dev and havent got a clue how this works, i thought i would ask in here.
it would be very much apreciatet to get the reboot option and reboot to recovery in the shutdown menu back like in some of the p-roms added to 2.3 roms
and would it be possible for someone to make the notification bare menu like i had on my desire which allowed for toggling wifi and other things just by pulling the bar down and pressing a button. like this:

Yeah, unfortunately none of those are available in the current 2.3.4 roms and these features aren't that easy to implement.
CM7 is on the way though and it has these and many other features built in, so follow the progress of that
The currently available alternatives that you can use on 2.3.4:
Reboot / Recovery / Bootloader options - Quick Boot app from the market (doesn't add those options to shutdown menu, but you can do those reboots from within the app)
Notification power controls - Quick Settings (puts a shortcut to itself in notification), Widgesoid (adds power control to notification, but it's not directly clickable), Power Controls Plus (same as previous), QuickDesk (custom dashboard, probably the best option).
Good luck.
i will do that then but it is some of the most usefull and nice features to have i believe.....
Hey guys, I'm running Dogg Rom at the moment, but I have the Xposed Framework set up, and of course root, so I'm open to just about any solution possible.
Anyway, I'm looking for 3 things to make me feel right at home: Hiding the Navbar and making it show up with a swipe from where it would be, and "Hold back to kill" the current app.
Here's what I've tried so far:
GMD Autohide: This gives me the hide Navbar and swipe abilities, but I can't enable hold back to kill with GravityBox; My guess is that it actually just turns off the native nav bar and replaces it with a new one that has the functionality.
GravityBox: With this, I can enable expanded Desktop, and I can enable hold back to kill, however, I can't get get the Navbar to show back up without turning off Expanded desktop; I can't even get PIE Controls to work.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it.

Hrm. XBlast looks good, I'll give it a shot as soon as my restore happens.
Has anyone tried to find a way to change the recent apps button to Menu button? I think that it is more convenient and the recent apps could pop up with long press of the button.
No, because no one would want that (well, besides LG).
I guess you can root and use a navbar editor app and change it yourself.

You need to be rooted.
1. Install Xposed Framework from here for Android 4.2 http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk ,
Here for android 4.3/4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48484642 ,
2. Inside Xposed, install and enable GravityBox,
3. Open GravityBox, under Navigation Bar Tweaks, enable Master Switch,
4. Click back and search Navigation Key Actions,
5. Under Recent Key, you can change Single Tap action to "Show Menu",
Long Press action to "Recent apps",
6. Reboot, Done!
Thanks for the reply.
I have already tried that but with kitkat version of gravitybox cause I am on GPe rom but it does not work. Have you tried that with jb version and it works for you?

Install softkeyZ APP go to install directory in sdcard then collection select the icon you want change and rename it to MENU or any key you want then select the key from the app ...........ALL DONE..........
I am not sure I understood what you proposed to do.
Although I tried it but the only thing I managed to change is the icons only, not their function.

I am on stock 4.3 and works perfectly. Not sure about GPe 4.4.
Other apps suchas softkeyz, UDN, GMD softkey, LMT launcher,... are all overlapping with keyboard when typing.
BTW, should press thanks button instead of saying it
GravityBox definitely works for remapping keys on a 4.3 rom ~ not sure about 4.4. I know xposed doesn't play nicely with ART, are you running dalvik or ART (if art that may be causing the issues).

Yeap, my rom is ART compatible, so maybe this is the problem.
EDIT: Solution found in gravitybox forum... I had to enable master switch in Navigation bar tweaks!
Case closed!

Good. I edited my post about that.
Gravitybox can even exchange the place of Back and Menu key. I came from Samsung phone and I am used to the Back key at the right side

Yeap that's true, it doesn't even need to restart!
On previous phones including the S5 you could just change the build.prop or use gravity box to add them but every time I try on reboot I get system UI crashing non stop until I undo my changes.
Has anyone gotten them somehow?
What about the side key panel?

Had same issue. Use dynamic navbar on playstore or lmt pie. I went for dynamic navbar it's amazing and can be customised to your absolute liking.
I've installed dynamic Navbar but can't seem to figure out how to make it work like a regular Navbar and not sit on top of items on the screen.
I am using lmt pie...loving it

Nobody can get regular softkeys without system UI crashing?
nope, seems like there's some piece of code missing, so that every time you activate those softkeys it just bootloops. have tried a number of methods, haven't found one that works. missing that soft home button (

This is a shame. I figured this would be one of the first mods due to the popularity and convenience of on-screen buttons. The bezel on the Note 4 is so small at the bottom that it wouldn't even look like a waste of space to have a navigation bar. The capacitive buttons are so easily pressed due to the small bezel. I don't mind this, but I wish the option for on-screen was included by samsung. I also hate the "back" button on the right side because I'm left-handed and can't reach it with my dominant hand. That should be reversible as well. Is that possible?
I also recommend lmt. The back button is instant.

If device is rooted then you can remap back and menu key by editing generic.kl

Did exactly that as soon as I got it. Although I actually prefer back key on right, just find note too wide to reach across, being left handed. Turned off the key light, not to cause confusion, and I guess it took a day to train muscle memory.

Ah, thanks! What would I change to simply disable the Recent and Back keys completely? I have on screen keys now. I still want to keep the home button because I don't accidentally press it.
Actually, I just put a # in front of the line for app_switcher, which worked. What do I change or remove to disable the capacitive Back hardware key? Thanks!
EDIT: figured it out!
To disable the Recent and Back hardware keys (capacitive buttons), edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and put a # in front of these 2 lines:
key 158 BACK
key 254 APP_SWITCH
Save and reboot!

The only thing about let and pie control in general is that it auto dissappear. When multiple back key is required, it is a pain.
Which is why I have resorted to using side key panel when I don't want to use capacitive. I edited settings database to add transparency to side panel menu as well as having a hint bar dissappear. I moved it to the comfortable zone for my thumb, and trigger it without fail. It says on till I press outside of the side menu.
It is working great for me. Although I would rather have standard nav bar for purely visual reasons as well as more modding options.

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.
Anyone have any ideas yet?

Hey xda community,
i want to bind some actions to my hardware buttons since my ROM does not support doing it.
I want to bind home button "long push" to lock screen, long push of back button to kill app (present open) and long push of menu button for "menu" inside apps.
Any way to do it/tutorial? I don't want to use external apps like: Buttons remapper (no root).
Is there any way to add functions from other ROMs like (slim/RR/many others) to currently flashed ROM (caf)? Please help.

Check for buttons inside settings.
Its like a basic feature in many ROMs (cm 14.1s citrus I guess many more )
If you are one MM u can use exposed gravity box(even on miui)
Slim 6 has option screen off
