edit build.prop and add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
save and reboot. Make sure you have an alternate means of navigation before you do this though

use LMT

Full screen from Play store to navigate, build prop command from above to remove nav bar.

LMT and Full Screen don't work ( es. back button).
Also fullScreen toggle doesn't work.
Do you have an idea? I hate black bar on my screen!
Thanks.
Stefano.

I would like to decrease the size of mine is that possible ?

I actually just made a video tutorial on YouTube and posted a guide in the general section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513910
What I did is edit the build.prop file and use an app called Button Savior to navigate. Works pretty good to be honest!

Dude! You do realise that back button still doesn't work. For temporary use its fine but not for long term.
Does anyone else know an alternative?

Yeah, I do know that and I mentioned that in my video. As you said, for temporary use it does the job!
Other than that, many apps that work on my Nexus 4 does not work on Nexus 5 as they probably aren't updated to work on the new device yet.
If I find something, I will definitely update my thread with new solutions!

Says device not supported when I try to turn it on. Hasn't been updated since september so perhaps it's a 4.4 thing.

All of the Google apps use it if I'm remembering correctly, and the battery widget app seems to use it as well. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything else...

Does anyone know if this is confirmed? I got the OTA update via clearing the Google framework trick. After upgrading to 4.1 I have found that I don't get expandable notifications with emails that I receive on Gmail.
Edit: Nevermind. I got the expanded preview to work by dragging 2 fingers over the email notification.
Tunein Radio has it.

[APP] GMD Gesture multitouch gesture control

Hey guys not sure if this is old news but since I haven't seen it posted here thought I'd point out this app in the play store. Works great in 4.1.2 and makes switching between apps and launching new ones a snap.

[Q/REQUEST] Camera Shortcut App

Is there a camera shortcut or an app that when I click it, it will prompt me to take a photo with the app of my choice (default camera, camera zoom, instagram, etc.)?
Just make a folder on your home screen with camera, instagram etc? Apex also allows you to make a shortcut to a specific screen within the app, it's called activities.

Thanks, but I don't want to do a folder though, hence why I asked about a shortcut. And that Apex thing is nothing at all like what I want.

App Ops on Kit Kat?

So, I tried to install the permission manager app from the play store for 4.3 and it didn't work, how can we manage app permissions on 4.4?

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.
Coming from CM10.2 I was hoping to at least be able to use this with my N5, but alas it's not so .

Wait... They removed the feature that they just added to the last version? Or they removed the old method of enabling it?

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......
afaik they removed it completely. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47098228&postcount=2
One of the best features ever introduced to android and they remove it. Might even downgrade my N7 because of this.

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

So? It's still a feature they included, with easy access, and then took away even though it was nothing but effective for the users...

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Does anyone know where these preferences are stored? I'm mainly concerned with whether or not changing the options will affect an OTA update. If nothing is altered in the system files I'm sure we're good to go.
