I used the the auto nooter to root froyo however I am having a bit off a problem with the controls of how my nook behaves. I think it is the status bar which contains my menu and I am unsure how to fix this because I do not even know how to determine if I have a preset to full screen. So, what annoys me about this is the kindle application when i start reading a book I have to exit the app all together by pushing home when I am finished because the menu hides. In my settings I do not have auto hide checked for my status bar, so maybe it is a full screen setting issue ? Any thoughts on this ?
Set up softkeys to use double press home "n" key to bring up softkeys... then you can quickly press the "n" key and have softkeys back button available.
I just discovered 'Button Savior' which seems to work well also. (Running CM7.1RC1)
Read the manual that came with your nook - they've got some cool tips there.
For example, it does have a "back" functionality that we all are used to - to go back swipe left on the status bar (black bar at the bottom)
Double-tapping on the home screen arranges stuff and auto-aligns it. Double-tapping in their shop app will do some other funky stuff.
When reading - tap on the center of the screen to see stuff such as font selection, brightness, etc.
Pinch-to-zoom works to resize covers of books and media on the shelves.
Double pushing the "n" hardware button will return to home screen.
To continue reading whatever you were reading last - either tap on the little book icon at the bottom, or, on home screen, tap on the "Keep Reading:"
I am using a Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time, keys on the navigation bar are not touched by accident. But when playing a game I often touch the soft key accidentally. Because many games require to touch controls on the edge of the screen, which is very close to the navigation bar. iOS, on the other hand, does not have this problem, because apps use the full screen, and there is one hardware button. Also, I often accidentally swipe up from the bottom to launch Google Now, when actually I wanted to scroll up. There is no menu to disable that swipe up action, except disabling the Google Now. I want to use Google Now but not by swiping up. I would prefer just a icon on my home screen to launch Now.
I already saw some custom ROMs have a feature to toggle the navigation bar, but I think there must be some official solution to this. The solutions I can think of;
1. The custom ROM way. Add toggle menu to the power menu.
2. Make the buttons as physical buttons not capacitive buttons.
3. Add another physical key on the side to enable/disable navigation bar.
4. Swipe from left to right on the navigation bar to lock it. Swipe again to unlock it.
5. Long pressing Home toggles the navigation bar. On first long press, the home button is changed to a lock icon. To unlock the bar, long press the lock icon.
6. Or Google Now is launched by long pressing of the multitasking button.
What do you think? Do you have the same troubles?

You can kinds of disable it using SwipeLaunch Disabler.

Honestly probably all nexus owners experience this problem although I personally give it up for awesome stock launcher and features and being able to easily hack it.

Hi guys - is there a way to customize the 'tap' behavior of nav bar buttons?
I want to 'double tap' home button to 'alt-tab' or go to previous app.
I want to hold back button to kill app.
I have an android dev board running android 6.0 from aliexpress, that's connected to a 1920x480 screen. when the screen is in portrait mode, part of the navbar on the bottom is cut off. There should be 2 more icons to the right as can clearly be seen in landscape mode.
namely the Volume up, and the navbar hide button.
is there any way that i can re-arrange these buttons, and put them closer together, so i can have all the buttons in portrait mode? Being too close for touch isn't an issue as this doesn't have a digitiser, and as such is used with a mouse and keyboard.
Yes, the android on here is rooted.
