APP IS BANNED FROM GOOGLE PLAY WILL RETURN SOON though!
Ultimate Dynamic NavBar - app that alows you to get rid of that horrible space-eating black navbar and replace it with fancy showing-on-swipe customizable navbar-like panel.
--------------------------------------------------------
I'd Be Glad Glad If you support me by bying this in Google Play ^_^
Also you can download lite version there
As always, UDN is free for XDA and 4PDA communities(but if you want to donate me - buy PRO, it's the same, as CE, but updates through Google Play)
--------------------------------------------------------
Features:
- panel that shows up with fancy animation by swipe from bottom edge of the screen or by touching a trigger button (Customizable).
- XPOSED(safe) or build.prop mod(dangerous) to hide softkeys on your device. All devices with android 4.0+ are supported!
- you can add up to 9 buttons to the panel (and assign shortClick and LongClick acitons to every button)
- About 20 different action for buttons: from basic system navigation to "kill app" and "tie custom app"
- Everything is themable: buttons, panel, glow-effects and more!
- Swipe mode to navigate the panel like paranoid's pie.
- small ram consumption (~< 8 MB of RAM)
- Lots of other customizations and modes.
Waiting for your bugreports and feature requests on UDN's Issue tracker
Since this thread moved to devDB, I'm no more able to edit attachments(hope it's temporal bug, though). So here's latest download link:

P.S. All features added in today's update were earlier requested by members of XDA and 4pda communities, thank you for ideas, guys!

Official mimi-FAQ (TOO OUTDATED):
Q: How to use "Ultimate Dynamic NavBar"?
A: Switch the switch to "on", then you can trigger UDN's panel by swiping up near the trigger(grey triangle) at bottom-left screen corner of your phone(or tablet).
Q: Only button that works is "Recents" Why?
A: Looks that you don't have Root permissions on your device. Google for more info...
Q: Activated "hide real navbar" option, but nothing happened! What I did wrong?
A: That means that app can't obtain root permissions, or your device don't have busybox installed.
Q: App can't restore original navbar.
A: Rare bug You can manually restore navbar by removing all "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" lines from /system/build.prop . Mail me if you need help.
Q: UDN overlaps information on the screen!!!1 How Do I fix it?
A: That's correct behavior! It is impossible to act another way! And No, I cant overlay nothing in the zone of real navbar Don't ask!!
Q: Android 4.3, can't hide notification. Is it possible to fix?
A: No, since google fixed bug I used to hide notification. There's no way to hide notification anymore
Q: OK, I found bug! What should I do???
A: post it to issues list I'll be happy to fix it!

Sorry, will fix it now. Use dropbox link for now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5oalbgb7plr830z/com.mrbimc.udn.apk
It wont let me select to "hide real nav bar''. So all it really does for me is add a second, auto hiding nav bar on top of my existing nav bar.

Looks that I need to add FAQ to the thread
0. you can bting my navbar back by swiping UP from the bottom of the screen.
1.My app can't hide real navbar yet But you could use this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558) or check your rom settings(CM, AOKP and Paranoid are have fullscreen toggle).
Good job man!

A shortcut to show and hide the navbar will be helpful ... to use it with gmd gesture control to combine the best parts of both apps ...

Ok, will add toggle shortcut in the next update. (actually, it is going to be "show" shortcut, because hidding is hardcoded for now. and i'm not going to change it's behavior in nearest future )
Will watch this apps progress. Thanks dev.keep up.

Very well sir
Simple and easy as that. I like it.
I have one suggestion. If I set, in your app, "Activated state time" in 2000ms i would very like that navigation stay on for this 2 seconds but after last tap. Reason is using BACK button for several time. If I leaving Gallery app a don't like pres home button, I usualy press back button for 3-4 times. With your setting I have to swipe every time when i want to press button.
"Just this" for and from me
Good luck !

I second this. Thanks to MrBIMC for your great work but instead of automaticly dispearing after some seconds, can you put a button (directly in the nav bar) for hiding the nav bar, the gesture seems very OK in most apps.
Thank you

Can anyone mockup how shoud this button look? because right now i can only add it as normal button, but it is not aestetic.
Or i could edit XMLs a bit and add support for small edge buttons (like legacy menu button of shame), so it will be possible to set hide trigger there.
What do you think?
Updated the app, check the head post for details and apk!
Had a few spare hours, so implemented some features you requested
Waiting for reviews, comments, new featurerequests and bugreports!

Thank you for the new version. I have only tested it for a short while yet, but I can see a lot of improvements. Some feedback:
You are right, the button looks quite out of place. And I think the best position should be in the middle. I will try to make some better graphics and send then to you.
The small graphics seem to work well so far, and on a phone with small screen, I think this is ideal for the menu button.
I am glad you are not killing SystemUI to get rid of the navigation bar, as the best option is to edit build.prop
Not too sure the option to stay on screen is behaving as it should. First, if no button is pressed, the bar should disappear after the normal timeout. Then, only if the back button is pressed, it should stay on screen. In that case, it should reset the timer on every press, no just the first one.
I hope that helps.
Awesome app, no need to edit any system files or push anything to /system, but still quite buggy, if the nav bar does not hide, it blocks the thing behind, any way to shift everything up, or not hide the thing below? See screenshot attached.

Even if it was possible, it would not work at all as a user interface. Three possible options:
* shift everything up: the top of the screen would disappear instead, and the sudden shift in position would be very annoying.
* squash the screen to fit in smaller space: that would look awful, and would also be annoying.
* leave everything as is, and overlay the bar on the bottom part of the screen. This is the current situation. The fact the the screen does not change, makes it much smoother for the user. To counteract the fact the bottom of the screen is then hidden, maybe transparency would help?

Yes sir, it should be best if you put one edge button for hiding. About the design I think you should focus on the idea first, after things get better and the app runs well then you can change your focus to the overall design. Yep the current design is not very aesthetic yet but it can wait .
The new version looks very promising but when I choose more than 3 big buttons then the toggle hide button dissappear
Anyway, thank you very much, your idea about this bar is very good and much better then lmt launcher or gmd gesture which are difficult to use for normal users.

Well just a suggestion if you provide downloadable apk file here it would be great, because there are places where play store doesn't work. well i am downloading it, i currently using another iphone type controller center will give you feedback aftr testing it :good:
Update : Feedback
1st of all Nice app bro :good: i really liked it. Nice feature rich and with lots of customization.
but well few thing which need to improve. The launch of control center is very choppy and not smooth even i have a Snapdragon 600 processor and secondly its taking around 70 MB of RAM. It take lot of effort to launch while on landscape mode well below 20-24 dp the refuses to show up ( i think the problem is some where in the dp calculator which is miscalculating while on lower dp) well around 30-35 dp its working on landscape mode. I think showing miss call and message is a feature of pro application if i am not wrong because it's not showing on the application which i have downloaded from the play store :good: :fingers-crossed:
keep on the good work
Very appreciate your suggestion. We are optimizing the not smooth issue. Very thx for your support!!!

Hi all,
I know some Reddit apps have auto-scrolling in-built, but there isn't an universal way to have auto-scrolling in any app on Android, so I decided to make AutoScrollr.
AutoScrollr is a completely free and open-source app (no ads) that allows you to turn on auto-scrolling inside any app. This means if you're reading an article, a website or just comments on YouTube, you don't have to keep manually scrolling up or down, AutoScrollr will automatically scroll for you!
You can turn on/off auto-scrolling, adjust the speed or change direction.
It's super easy to set up and use AutoScrollr! Don't believe me? Here's how:
Open the app
Flick the switch on and grant root permissions
That's it!
When you want to use auto-scrolling, open the notification area and tap on the AutoScrollr notification. A floating icon will appear. When you press the icon, it will expand to show some buttons - Play/Pause to play/pause auto-scrolling, Fast Forward/Rewind to increase/decrease auto-scrolling speed and Reverse to change scroll direction (scroll down or up).
Here's a video of the app: https://streamable.com/v3ums
Wait, "...grant root permissions", did I read that right? Yes, the app requires ROOT. If you're not rooted, please don't download the app. I am working on a non-root mode (using Accessibility API), I am not sure how convenient it will be to do auto-scrolling via that, but I am working on it. At the moment, the app requires ROOT.

To Whom It May Concerns !
I would like to introduce OneTouch Launcher for Android, a cool tool for Android devices (running Android 4.0 - API 15 and up)
How many moves/gestures do you often make to adjust volumes or start an app ? With OneTouch Launcher you will need just one touch to complete anything (well, almost, you will see)!
OVERVIEW
- You can organize apps into group tabs and launch any of them easily from a launch panel that appears upon touching the start handle.
- One-touch mode is even more convenient than usual : keep your finger touched and swipe to the desired function on the panel, when releasing the finger the desired app will launch (or the desired action will be performed).
- The start handle can be placed anywhere on screen that you want. If it is located near an edge it will be docked along that edge as a thin bar for easily swiping out.
- OneTouch Launcher for Android handles 4 kinds of content: application shortcuts, file shortcuts, link shortcuts, and a control center command actions.
MAIN FUNCTION
- OneTouch Launcher for Android works like a Start Menu popup from a Home Button, with app groups being shown in customizable tabs.
- Besides categorizing applications for easy access, you may also create shortcuts to any file or folder on your device and put them onto start menu panel for easy starting/opening.
- You may also create url links and put onto Start Panel for quick access: web url, sms composing urls with ready-filled recipients, phone call url to any phone number, mail composing url with ready-filled recipients. With this link function, all your frequent actions are just one touched away.
- System command actions are also made for you convenient use: turn off screen, screen orientation setting, switch flash-light on and off, launch calculator app, launch calendar app, open system setting panel, start google assistant (Android L), pull down notification bar, take a screen shot (Android M), launch camera app, adjust media volume, adjust ring volume, go back, go home, open recent applications screen.
- Hidden feature: Keep you finger touched over a volume command button of OneTouch launcher panel a bit, you will be able to adjust that volume by swiping left and right. Moveover, pushing your finger toward the top of your screen, this adjustment will be faster. With this feature, volume adjustment are done in just one move !
- This "long touch for more" feature also works on app shortcuts and screen orientation lock button
PERMISSIONS
