I've looked around and I can't find any mods that enable a nav bar. I'm also looking to disable the captive buttons on the screen. Can anyone help me?

Page 1 of that thread has pre made zips (thank Sheffy007), but if you are running anything really new they might not be ideal. Using the guide (see link) will work on any rom.

Thanks. I tried that but those files are no longer there.

What Rom? I can post the key files so you can make the nav bar
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
To enable the navbar on a ROM just decompile the framework-res.apk and navigate to /res/values/books.xml and change the navbar value (forgot the exact name) to "true". When finished, recompile framework-res.apk and push it to your phone.

I am running the nightlies. I like the navbar from aokp because you can adjust the size. That's what in interested in

Hey guys!
So i love the PAC ROM it is by far the best ROM!
But ever since v22.0.0 the Navbar is no longer default so you have to enable it. But I can't! I've tried everything like hybrid properties and extended desktop and disabling pie (I hate pie) but it doesn't work! Can someone please either screenshot everything I need to do or specific instructions so that I can have navbar enabled and working!
Thanks in advance!

If you're not in expanded desktop mode it should be in the hybrid properties. I forget which tab, but change the nav bar size to 100%

Is there anyway to hide the soft keys on the nexus 5 yet?

I'd love to do this. Takes up too much of the bottom of my screen!

Not for 100% of the time. They made immersive apps but that's it. Please read before posting ignorant comments.

On the N4 it was possible with:
Go to system/build.prop/ and add the following line at the end of the build.prop file: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Reboot.
To re-enable set 0 to 1 and reboot
Don`t know if this will also work on the N5, need root off course.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. Although I think they changed how you disable them because I couldn't disable them when I upgraded my Nexus 4 to 4.4 either.

I quite like the soft keys, but it is annoying in games. Looking forward to pie control in future roms.

I have read all and being a nexus 5 user u sld know better.
How are you supposed to control your phone without the capacitive buttons..that nexus lacks...how easy it is in case of pie controls to swipe to get menu???
Sent from my C6502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Haven't tested it on the Nexus 5 yet, but with my old GNEX I used the Xposed framework with the GravityBox module which offers this functionality (hide nav bar and use pie controls).
How do you enable built in full screen from Google ?

Yes, it does. I did this on both of my N5s and used PieControl.
PieControl works OK but I prefer the GMD app on my N4 though. Waiting for the dev to enable it on the N5.

You need root to write to build.prop since you need to mount /system as R/W.

Great. Enable the root functions of ES File Explorer and edit away.

It does work if you root your phone - I followed this and am happy now:

Root access -enables- you to mount /system as R/W. It does not mean every file explorer app does so 'on the fly'. First make sure /system is mounted as R/W, then edit build.prop.

there aren't any, you need custom ROM for that

Funny I am looking for the same thing. No luck so far but checking out a custom lockscreen called "start"

You don't necessarily have to have a custom ROM. You just need root. I'm stock rooted and I installed gravitybox which is an xposed module. Gives you lots of options and tweaks.

Gravitybox has the option to add shortcuts to the unlock ring. It allows 5 different shortcuts. You just need root, download xposed, then check gravitybox, thats it.
Wondering if there's a way to add more shortcut to Quick Settings menu (when you pull down the statusbar)???
