I also have the exact same question
I'd also like to know how to map the recents button to menu button (same as the 3-dot button) ...
shouldn't be much longer until cm11 and other custom roms roll out with full customization functionality that allows you to remap your buttons.
Found the solution everyone!!!!
It's name is GravityBox

Is there a way to change or add to the navigation buttons? I hate not having a menu button and I am used to the back button being on the right.

not until xposed works with this, or a custom rom is made
I have it now, root and get gravity box 4.4 you can add the menu button

I hope this isn't too silly of a question but is there any way to make the navigation buttons appear stock after root? I ordered a GP Edition but hate waiting and I'm most likely gonna use nova launcher anyways but the navigation buttons will still look like htc at least they did when I tried loading nova and a kit kat theme on a floor unit in verizon. Any help please?

Just saying, having a dedicated menu on android 4.3+ is ridiculous. In 4.3 android changed to force menu softkeys in the navbar when available (or in app when navbar is not supported). Buy I can understand wanting to swap or add other buttons. Easy enough with xposed.

Hey thank you for replying, Im not looking to add any buttons or switch them around really, my only goal is to make the navigation buttons look like the navigation buttons on a nexus/GP device will xposed let me do that as well?
If you're tired of the on screen buttons getting in the way of typing, root your phone with weak sauce and then download gmd hide soft keys from the play store. Here is a video if you want to see it in action.

yeah cool app been using it from day one so good i paid for it
Actually, I'm sick and tired of the bloody keys constantly disappearing when I most need them. We have a huge screen already and I'd rather have a mod that nails the keys in place, so that they never ever disappear. Lol.
Just my 2 cents...

You can still manipulate things like transparency, height, width and colour with the app so its pretty good if you want that too.
Personally hate the speaker chin and button combo, wish they went with the HOX set up. Used to using pie now anyways.

Does anyone know how to keep the stock navbar icons with this GMD Auto-Hide app? I like the app but don't like the buttons it uses, even when you choose the "HTC" option under themes. They just look ugly compared to the normal stock navbar icons.
this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for posting this. Now I can utilize ALL of the screen.
Personally I always need the buttons when they are gone for a second with GMD

Thank you for that great hint.
This App works like a charm !
Install LMT Pie (XDA Download) and setup for BACK/HOME/RECENTS/MENU
Change build prop to remove software keys
Profit
You all realize this is "immersive mode" in android. The buttons only hide when they aren't needed. Simply swipe where the NAV bar would be and the icons come back.
Not to thread jack... but I'm currently using Ultimate Dynamic Nav bar (see this thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198).
I find it more flexable (you can set your own keys, have up to 7, multiple themes, multiple behaviors).
Best feature? I have a button dedicated for screen off, and when you long press it, it opens up APM. I also have a menu button which launches volume control upon long press.
An alternative that works on the M8.
EDIT:
Whoops wrong Screenshot, please see the new one.
Is it possible to permanently cut down the height of the stock navbar by half?

From what I can tell.. no there isn't. However, using any of these custom applications, you can adjust the height of the nav bars.

Brilliant find. This is exactly what I was looking for! Cheers!
Edit: Only thing it doesn't seem to work in is the camera. Cant see to call up the buttons, but all you have to do is go into the gallery and then it will work there.

I just checked this and it works for me
In the options menu, you need to select "Keep trigger at panels side" as well as "Keep panel on right". Then you can swipe on the right when using the camera and it will work.
It is a bit confusing, but if you don't have those options selected, when in the Camera you need to swipe from the button to open the buttons.

Wunderbar! Danke. That's about the limit of my german!
I wonder if the action bar settings in Dimensions Editor don't work in some apps because those apps have a set height for the action bar.

Like this, seems to work well. Would be better if it could be set on a per app basis, to keep them visible when running certain apps.
All of you do realize that 4.4.2 has "Immersive Mode" that lets you hide the Status Bar and/or the Nav Bar until they're needed, right??
ALL of these special NavBar apps and whatnot are redundant.
I notice that you can add search and menu buttons to the on-screen button layout, but that's pretty much it. LG phones have an awesome on-screen button that when pressed allows for the notification drawer to drop down. I wouldn't mind having that button.
Is there an app where we can download other on-screen buttons? Haven't had any luck finding these anywhere.
Thanks, peeps!

You'll need a custom ROM with proper navbar customization options.

Hmm. Surprising to hear there isn't some kind of apk or zip file I can install, and then all should be good. Anyway, thanks for your input.
Try a new kauncher if you don't want to change rom

Well there used to be a mod called SoftKeyz that I used back in KitKat days... Dunno if it's still around for Lollipop tho...
Any reasons why people use mods/hacks to disable the navbar permanently? Samsung offers the option to do so, but why u have to disable it permanently?
Gestures navigation is not that smooth & u have to use an app.
Is there any benefits or something I'm missing?

I do it so I dont have to look at it
Its always white when i want it black and black when I want it white
Lol That's pretty funny tbh:laugh:
You have this big beautiful touch screen, why do I want to take up space on the screen (or have it appear/disappear) every time I want to navigate or go to the home screen? I use Gesture Control so that I just have to swipe left/right/up at the bottom and never have to see it...
Looks better and is really cool to have the whole screen.... navigation gestures works pretty well.
It's quite simple really, you get more screen real estate and you don't need to look at the ugly navbar.

I tried the xda navigation gestures & the fullscreen view is pretty awesome tbh.
How did u hide the navigation bar & what gesture app/mod do u use please? I want something a little smoother than the xda gesture app.

I used to use plasmalite and it was awesome, unfortunately stopped working well under Oreo and it never got updated. Now I use XDA gestures, which is pretty OK, in some aspects better than plasmalite.

Xda gestures works great especially the split pill giving additional swipes. I have some very minor delays with it though, but I can live with it. OnePlus gestures is the best so far, but it's paid.
I tried out XDA's Navigation Gestures (paid version) but find Samsung's One Hand Operation+ more enjoyable.
From the edge screen I simply swipe left to go back, to open recents I swipe up diagonally from the same place and to go home I just press the home button.

Many thanks! I find it smoother than xda gestures, but it doesn't work in landscape mode & immersive games
