Just wanted to share with everyone that in my desperate attempts to find a way to modify the Stock Navbar I tried out the LG Navbar Xposed module and it works perfect! No 4 or 5 button but it has plenty of buttons to choose for the three available including long press customization for each one. Works perfect transparency stays intact as well as modifications from other modules (gravitybox navbar height). The only thing I've noticed is that the 3 dot button on the navbar will still pop up on apps requiring it. I just used softkeyz and downloaded the invisible buttons from the user gallery so its still there but I don't have to look at it.

You should have just used Gravity Box xposed module. Among every other tweak available to you in GB, there is also a section for modifying NavBar. I shrunk mine down because I don't think it needs to be that big, added always on menu button, and then turned on Immersive Mode (which is really awesome, I prefer it to pie and it's still basically stock android, both function and form wise).
I use the gravitybox module but can't stand not having a dedicated menu button. I know there is the always on option in gravity box but I am left handed and can't stand stretching over to reach it. Plus this has long press options. I find it a lot nicer having the menu button with long press for recents. Just letting people know of more options. As someone who normally uses cyanogenmod and AOKP and adds a menu button immediately I found this perfect for me.

Oh nice, didn't realize there were that many more options available, going to have to check it out and maybe use GB for everything else but NavBar. Thanks.
Maybe I'm missing something, but when i follow the link to the thread, it then takes me to the playstore, where it says its incompatible with my device.

I got it installed but it's very limited in scope unless you unlock the premium version. I'll stick with GravityBox.
I got GravityBox to work for me in remapping the useless Recent Apps to the Menu button and I just have to think that the icon for Recent Apps is the menu. The only way I found.. You have to map hardware buttons to change this. You can also add Kill App to long press on the Back button.

Hi,
I have just remembered this app, I share it here:
Description
This application will let you change the SoftKeys / Navigation Buttons fast and easily. This app comes with more than 150+ different soft-buttons to choose from and more will be added with every update. If you got some navigation buttons you would like to see in this app just write an email about it. Until I've added them, you can just use the import feature for these soft keys. This application needs root and "BusyBox" to be installed. This app will NOT overwrite your applied themes, or enable the navigation buttons on devices without them.
Odexed ROM?: Some people are reporting small to bigger problems with odexed ROMs. Sometimes your choosen wallpaper can disappear.
WARNING: This app modifies system files and should only be used with a flashable backup of your current ROM on your device. The developer is not responsible for any damages.

It can be nice to change the look of the soft buttons , I have not tested yet so I don't know if it works well and maybe it can conflict with some Xposed modules for the navigation bar...
Feedbacks are welcome...
Doesn't work for me

The guy that made the app made it to work on the nexus line. He didn't expect it to work on the g2. I tested also and as was expected it doesn't work. Steer clear of this thing until/unless the app developer okays it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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've tried so many options xposed and apps, but this one UDN stands above all others. If you see other options, please charm in. My search starts from the problem that I constantly work in dark places where I can't see the hardware Nav buttons.
Click here to download and read about it from the OP or support the dev by heading to Playstore.
The one I used from OP is udn_v23.2_CE.apk :good:

If you have root just go and get xposed framework installed on your device and download the module gravity box KK edition, enable that then reboot and go into the app, go to navigation bar tweaks and turn it on. You can use the lollipop navigation bars or stock kitkat. Hopefully this helped.

Title says it all. What root required apps were you dying to use on your S6 and now you can? I'll try and keep up with the thread and make a master list. So far:
Titanium Backup
Flashfire
CF.Lumen
AdAway, Ad Free
Root Explorer, ES File Explorer
Secure Settings/Tasker
3C Toolbox
BetterBatteryStats
Emoji Switcher
KingMaster/User
Viper4Android
LMT
Greenify
Xposed (not working on Samsung LP devices yet.) with Wanam.
SQLite Editor
Samba Filesharing
CSC Feature Expert
App Ops
Right now, I just have Titanium Backup and CF.Lumen.
Any clue if there's an app similar to Wanam to make some visual changes? My first step after rooting is usually cleaning up the status bar a little, but that seems difficult right now until Xposed works on Lollipop TW (if we ever see that day).
AdAway (changes host file to block ads, download off FDroid because it was removed from the play store)
CF.Lumen (like flux but changes the color temperature of your phone at night)
Emoji Switcher (change Samsungs ugly emojis to kitkat/lollipop/iOS)
TiBu (backup and freeze apps)
Root Explore (help me do lots thing~)
KingMaster and KingUser (help me manage root and RAM, which developed by us ~lol~, we are prepare to release them on XDA)
ADB Program (essential thing of developers~):cyclops:
adaway/thread
Viper4Android!!!!
Adblock plus
Tibu
Root Explorer
Tasker
Emoji switcher
Now we just need xposed and I'll be happy
