I've just received my new G2 so I haven't yet done as much reading about it as I like but my first impressions are good However....one of my main reasons for buying this device was the 5.2 inches of hd screen real estate and how clever LG managed to cram such a large screen onto a relatively small device by using on screen navigation buttons in place of hardware buttons.
After playing with my device for a while it would appear that I cannot hide these navigation buttons (without root) so I am losing a large proportion of my screen estate
I noticed that in some streaming apps, the buttons magically disappear giving me a full screen view but this doesn't appear to be the case for all apps. Am I missing something here or is that just how it is?
It would seem a bit pointless to me creating such a beautiful large screen and not be able to utilise it properly
I am hoping that I am, indeed, missing a hidden setting or tweek somewere and am hoping that someone here will enlighten me. I will probably root if it is necessary but I would then have to forgo my skygo streaming which requires an un-rooted device :crying:
HELP!
There is unfortunately no solution to this without routing your device. I tried a lot of apps, ie button savior (which worked for giving me virtual home button and so on) and full-screen toggle which didn't work. It seems that the only solution is to root it.

So if you hide the navigation bar, how do you expect to go home or back? If you use custom roms or xposed you can shrink it to be a lot smaller, which is the best of both worlds

If you read my post, you would have your answer, mate. Button savior gives you the ability to toggle home, back and menu buttons in a way similar to pie controls where you slide from one side to toggle them.

Hmm, did not read this thread. Just wanted to ask, why you think you will have to forget about that app?
Have a look on Root Cloak there are 2 active ones one from Xposed the other on Cydia Substrate. Not sure they work for your app too.
But if you decide to root it should be worth a look.

My wife recently got a Vibrant, and she hates the bottom 4 required buttons on her home screens (Phone/Contacts/Messaging/Apps). She does not text, and wants to get rid of the messaging button. Is rooting the phone and installing a custom theme the only way to do this?
Also, what is the "lag fix" supposed to fix? She hasn't complained much about anything, and I haven't messed with her phone enough to see any serious problems with it.
EDIT: Also, what does having a "hardware locked" phone mean, what does it prevent you from doing, and how can I figure out if my wife has a hardware locked phone?

First off, I think if this is your wifes phone and you and she are unfamilar to modding its best to do as little as possible to get what you need. That said, if she hasn't complained about lag, don't worry about it. If you are interested, then lag is created because samsung uses a proprietary file system rfs which is a little slow. Lag fixes try to remedy this by either adding an ext2/3 partition, or totally replacing the file system with ext4. This last is for advanced users and I would not recommend.
Hardare locked refers to some devices that are unable to get to recovery or download mode by using the volume buttons and power button. There are threads to explain how to do it. Use them to see if your wifes is one.
As for the big ticket of your thread customizing your home screen, there are numerous launchers on the market. I like launcher pro, and adw launcher. Im pretty sure you dont even need to root to use them, there are free versions in the market. Good luck.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I am not new to modding. I have pretty seriously modded my Evo 4G (custom kernels, deodexed ROM, customized themes, etc...). It's just I am unfamiliar with the Vibrant and its root process, and I don't want to do anything to it until I know the ins and outs of messing around with it.
If I can mod her home screen without rooting, then that's probably as far as I'll go. However, I've told her to look over the themes here to see if she finds one she likes, and I'm fairly certain I need to root to install a custom theme if she decides there's one she likes.

Ok then, most theming i've seen on the vibrant is for the status bar, and not the bottom. Most roms end up supplementing touchwiz launcher with something like launcher2 or adw launcher. You might want to take a look at eugene373's frankentwiz. Hes modified touchwiz so you can edit the bottom dock and app drawer. Or if you dont want to go that far he posted the default launcher in the dev section that you Adb push to system/app its literally the default launcher from the g1 days. Its what I use.

Considering the most she uses it for is to play Sims and other games (stealing my phone when she wants to play Angry Birds), and for surfing the web, I think she'll be fine without root, just using a new launcher. She just really didn't like the fact that 1/4th of her bottom dock was taken up with a useless icon.

You don't need a new launcher to replace the sms icon at the bottom of the dock. Open the app drawer-> menu-> view type-> customizable grid-> menu-> edit ...
Then you can drag any other icon on the dock to replace the sms icon. Press the back button to confirm, then you can switch back to alphabetical grid.

Thanks for that tip. Although I think I will be getting her ADW Launcher anyways since it's much more customizable, and not as overloaded as TouchWiz. Plus I found a theme for ADW I think my wife will love.
Just as a follow on, is it normal for you to have to hit the soft buttons (menu, home, back, search) multiple times to get them to actually register? I've noticed that if they are not lit up, I have to hit them once or twice to get them to light up, and then again to do the action I was trying to do.

When I first got my vibrant I did, but I think it's because the touch sensors are very specific. As in, you have to hit the home button dead on for it to register. Once I got used to the button locations its not been a problem.
Btw, if you touch anywhere on the screen the buttons will light up ... Helpful when its really dark.

completely agree with this. You've kinda be dead on or cover the majority of the button. Adw is a great choice. It's an awesome and absurdly customizable home alternative. Plus it's free

Hi
Is there a way to get FULL SCREEN while watching movies. Whenever i launch movies on my tab - I still have the bottom line with TouchWiz and clock and more.. I haven't found a tweak that will let me hide that.. Would be awsome that it hides after few seconds while watching something fullscreen ?
Any fix for that? - I looked in the forum for similar questions on this issue, but didn't see it - Thats why i post it .. Sorry if it is a duplicate of another question somewhere here in the forum.. ;-)
Just wondering.. Am i the only one having this issue?

Therr are a couple of posts.
Basically, since there are no hardware buttons, android forces the taskbar to always be shown to allow access to the buttons. There are no hacks for this yet as it will also require the media player to take no taskbar into account and offer a way out of the app.
Okay.. Well i was hoping there was somekind of autohide when fullscreen, and menu could be tricked by a touch.. Hopefully we will see that..
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
could be tricky to dev this, what you would probably need to do is have an app you run before opening a movie that hides the bar but also places a toggle to show it again on the power button. However if you remapped the power button and the tab froze you could be stuck. Probably best just to live with it
Yeah.. I saw a feature like that on the Ipad, so if it works on Ipad, it should for sure work on Android aswell..

What he said and unfortunately we will not see an auto hide anytime soon.
I dont know if this is possible within the framework of Honeycomb, but I was wondering if I was possible to add gesture control using a root-access app?
Personally, I'm only looking for one feature: WebOS style task switching. I love the way Honeycomb multitasks, but I wish I could just swipe up from the bottom of the screen (starting on the bezel below the screen) and have it open up Honeycomb's app switcher. For reference, WaveLauncher implements similar WebOS-lite utility with a similarly implemented gesture implementation.
And just for the hell of it, I think it would be great if there could be an option to open the task switcher horizontally across the middle of the screen. I know I know, "Go buy a touchpad!" I'm just saying I think it would be awesome, and I'm certain others would think so too.

there's this app call dock4droid. you can find it in the market. some member post about this app some time ago here. I am using that app now. it works great.you can choose to put it on left/right top or down, anywhere you like. it will show recent app, and you can customize what app to appear on that dock.
sorry for my poor explanation. download it and have a try, it should fits what you want. I think. There's a free version of it.
p/s : i never touch the multitask button ever since i used this app it's kinda lag for me
I am I afraid there is no good solution, and each app that overlay your screen like this one will make your tablet lag :-(

I was thinking more along the lines of an individual button next to the task switcher. It's surprising how much quicker & intuitive things feel when there is only one action needed to be performed (one swipe, one button press, etc.).
Anyway, I'm just sorta spitballin' in this thread. I've been using an Android phone for over a year now, and my tablet for a few months, and I still haven't been able to get over missing WebOS style multitasking. That's not to say I'm dogging on Android's, it works well, it's just not the absolute best.

The home button
This is a great idea, but may only be possible on rooted phones with custom ROMs. I am going to look into an implementation that does not toll performance or battery. Perhaps a simple widget at the bottom of the home screen? Then again that would require going home first, making the widget redundant.

So exactly like the blackberry Playbook... that's exactly what it does ... swipe from bezel to open multitasking
The only thing I miss from IOS is ACTIVATOR.
So many options.
You could hook any action/gesture to any app.
It was awesome.
Sometimes is cumbersome to hit the home button located at the bottom when I'm holding the tab with both hands on the sides.
Would pay money for an activator equivalent.

Yes, and just like the TouchPad/WebOS.
A swipe gesture from the bezel is inherently easier than almost any other single input option because when holding the tablet there is at least one digit within an extreme proximity to the bezel & screen. I would say over 90% of my usage patterns are with me holding the tablet in at least one hand, and a large majority of me holding it with both hands. In my case, gestures like that are accessible from any direction and any side of the screen, and would be superior than having to click a 20x20 pixel button in a single location that isn't near either of the places where my hand naturally holds the tablet.
Again, for other people their usage patterns may dictate a better option. I just happen to think most people use their tablets in a manner similar to mine, which would make these gestures extremely useful.

Hi,
I've recently rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 (THANK YOU open1your1eyes0 for the guide, and hiikezoe, DooMLoRD, and PWM978 for the root exploit!) and everything went pretty much flawlessly.
So brimming with confidence after almost a week of root related tweaking I'm now hunting for a solution to replace part of the functionality of the right hand side HARDWARE button for putting my phone to sleep - or whatever the correct term is for when "I click the button to make my screen go dark so as to avoid calling people with my butt while I'm carrying my phone around".
Is there such a thing?
As an old school IT guy, my philosophy is that I'd rather use the touch screen (with like a toggle or what have you) for this super frequent function than use the hardware button which will eventually wear the hell out. Yeah, I know it prolly has around a gogillian use cycles before that day but I'm a bit of a purist and maybe we should just call it a philosophy with me. Or maybe I'm debilitatingly OCD.
Either way, is there such a solution out there? I'm hoping for a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc. However I would also be satisfied with a standalone "app" type button I could situate someplace handy onscreen or maybe even in a "Button Savior" type "drawer" that I could access with just a flick and click after every phone call (and BEFORE I drop the phone into my pocket and call random people as I have been doing far too often *lol*)
Anyway, thanks for reading and I appreciate any help you may be able to give me to get me pointed in the right direction.
Best regards,
Joe C.

Thanks hexitnow and nativi! I appreciate your time answering me but I should have been clearer. I had seen those various "app" options and even tried a few.
What I was trying to describe by, "..a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc." was the actual rectangular toggle buttons for those functions and others like airplane mode and screen rotation and all. I'm referring to the batch of buttons which can even be reordered to control which 5 are displayed across the top of the pull down shade area.
One of the Play Store apps called "Screen Off and Lock" by "Katecca" comes close because it lets you configure it to show in the pull down shade - but only in the "Text" area of the "Notifications" area (like where battery info or things like that are shown). Am I describing what I mean adequately?
It's a wonderful app but I was hoping to limit the screen real estate dedicated to this function even more is all.
Thank you again though for your tips.
Best,
Joe C.
The free Button Savior app can do this. Use the on/off looking button.
Also in system settings, security, device administrator, you need to give lock screen privilege to Button Savior
Would nova Launcher have a gesture that you could do to turn the screen off with a gesture or even a gesture app.

Basically, you select the apps that you want it hidden when in use. It should've been a default feature but I'll take the OTA if it's a quick fix. Not sure if it's like auto-hide key app where you can swipe up. I think it's more permanent (hidden or visible) with no middle ground.

So I tried it out, and you can adjust the size with the auto hide bar, but not the static (default) navigation bar. I kind of like the auto hide and may keep it, but if I can find a way to just reduce the height of the stock bar I may prefer that.
