Yea one of the thing on the "cons" list of ICS was that you have to find the menu button every time... gnexus haters gonna hate

> when you enabled ics on screen buttons on cm 9.. there should be an option added at system under settings called navigation.. where you can hide/auto hide/always show, add edit soft keys.

Yeah, u can. u have to nable nav bar and set the height and width to 0px using apktool. im actually using it in that way.

well, heres my modded apk from my phone. (17th jul arjen's nightly)
it has navbar in portrait mode only. made it narrow, so it wont take up much space. on landscape it wont show. And u have the menu button on actionbar at all times.
i did this, so that i can hold my phone upside down, and still use it without bothering about the hardware buttons.
i dont have time to make a new apk or a flshable zip right now. push it to /system/framework

Could anyone do it for paranoid android?

You have this option in AOKP ICS.
There are lot more navigation options in Rom Control!!

Hmmm..
Unfortunately for me my device does not have a home button..
only back button and menu button.
Thanks.

I believe every Android device has a home button, either through normal keys, softkeys, or UI keys.

Found [Button Savior (Root)] in the Market!
(works without root)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydC5zd2tleSJd
Go to Homescreen from inside ANY App or Game even when calling someone
and open any other App or Game. Even view recently opened Apps!
After installing adjust settings as follows:
Go to Button Savior General Settings > Trigger Mode
and if you choose [Icon Click Trigger]
Then go to Button Savior General Settings > Look and Feel > Theme
and choose the [Contrast..] theme
Now an arrow (with adjustable transparency and size) will appear on the side of ANY screen that
when you tap it a bar with buttons together with the home button will appear.
Go to Button Savior General Settings > Trigger Mode
and if you choose [Swipe From Side Trigger] or [Half top swipe Trigger]
Now when you are at ANY screen a simple swipe of the screen
will bring a bar with buttons together with the home button.

[Q] Choose Home Screen? Need mod?

One thing that I am finding annoying in Kitkat is that the left most screen (other than Google Now) is the default screen after pressing the home button. I'd prefer that I could choose which screen the home button takes me to. Is there a setting for this that I am misssing?
Thanks

Yes you're missing everything about android, this isn't ios of course you can change whichever home screen you want. When you're on your home screen press the 'Home screen button' again and then press the small + sign the upper right corner, there you can add or delete and rearrange your screens and the one with the green check mark is your default main home screen.

That worked on 4.3, but it doesn't seem to work on 4.4. The default home screen (i.e. where the home button takes you) is always the "left-most" screen (other than google now) and you have to scroll right to get to the other screens.

Not being able to choose the default screen bugged me for a total of 1 day and now I don't care anymore.

you can drag and rearrange the screens to pick a new home
While it looks like there is no way to set which screen is the home screen - probably because of google now being the leftmost screen - you CAN change the order of the screens by long-pressing and then dragging them to rearrange. Whichever one is left-most becomes the default "home screen". when you hit the home icon.

[Q] Nexus 5 Home Buttons

Hey all ,
Just wanted to ask a quick question, I just installed nova launcher on my nexus 5 and there is an option to remove the dock (menu, phone ect..)and oly the home button back and task manager are left at the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to add to the stock buttons e.g. If i want an menu button inbetween the 3 other buttons. I have seen it before but dont really know how to do it. http://tapatalk.com/tapatalk_image....vZC8xNC8wMS8xNi9vcmlnaW5hbC9lOWVydWh1ai5qcGc= Just the bottom bit.
Thx for the help

I use apex and just use gestures like swipe down to hide dock and swipe up to view dock....probably same on nova.
Edit might have miss read your question.

Anyway to access multi window without recents button.

I liked how it used to be by pressing and holding the back button to bring up the multi window side panel. I can't seem to find anyway to bring it up. Please don't tell me using the recents button is the only way. I liked how on the note 4 you could just press one of the multi window apps and it would open up as a pop up.

Never understood why Samsung still restricts certain apps from being used in multi windows. Back in the days, I would have to root to be able to use whatever app for MW.

With the app open, I just swipe from the very top left corner to the middle and it opens up pop up.
I haven't seen any other way to get the actual split screen though

You can open multi window three ways.
First you need to have a multi-window / split screen
compatible app open then swipe:
#1: recents long press (split screen)
#2: diagonally top left towards right bottom of screen
#3: diagonally top right towards the left bottom of screen
Good luck,
Have a great day!
