Loads of ways. Apps on play or just even via website

Is there a specific app that will add the device as border? I couldn't find any but also didn't really know what to search for.

Device frame generator and screen maker. I personally use screen maker.

On screen buttons

Hey guys
Is it possible to make the on screen buttons transparent while web browsing or using the Twitter app? I hate how much real estate the buttons take. Any info would be appreciated

does gravity box have the option to make the navigation bar semi-transparent? i dont have it installed but im sure theres an xposed module that will do this.
I just took mine off and ran with lmt for navigation until this happens. I am sure its on the works.

In the works as in a custom Rom?

Try "Auto Hide Soft Keys" in the Play Store. Makes a big difference.
Sweet.. U just made me decide to keep the m8 because of the app!

Transparent Nav and Status Bar

I have Xposed, but can't for the life of me find out how (if possible) to make the nav and status bars transparent. I've looked all over. Found it only on a module meant for Xperia. Does it not exist for us?
Thanks,
Gods

There is one and if you search the nexus 5 Q&A or themes and apps section, you'll find it

The transparent bottom and top are launcher specific. Most of the launchers are going to it now. If that is what you are asking? Otherwise it would look funny for the top and bottom to be transparent when in an app

Thanks for the replies. As I've said I've looked around a lot. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting.
I do mean in-app. I get it in the launcher.
Thanks

Apps have to enable transparency themselves, it is possible, and I think it would be a nice touch for Facebook, etc. Project hera and 4.5/5.0 is coming up so just wait and see what happens.
For now, there is no way to make in app status and navbar transparent.

Nice touch. I wish more apps used translucent decor and transparency. If the status bar changed colors as project Hera says, and navbar stays transparent, that be nice.

Decrease Navbar size?

I've upgraded to the One M8 and the one gripe I have with it is how much room the navbar takes up. Is there any potential tweak that would allow me to reduce the size?

I use xposed framework with gravity box module which allows for nav bar size adjustments.

I use the Viper rom and I removed the navy bar and I use Pie now.

Thanks for the help. I currently shrank it with Gravity Box. Once I get a proper custom boot loader I'll try out a custom ROM like Viper.

Double tap app to unlock (No - root)

Hi guys, any app that you know which works on our z1 that allows you to unlock the screen by double tapping it? Right now I'm using tap tap app which unlocks your screen by "double tapping" on the proximity sensor instead.
This will be a lot of help for preserving the life span of our power buttons.
Oh by the way, my device is not rooted. I'm sure a lot of the guys out there will appreciate this.
Thanks in advance!

Try Gravity Screen in the market. It works great with some tweaking for sure. Battery gets hit some but not noticeable, like 3-7% extra drainage but it works amazingly. Let me know what you think? I will share my settings
I've been using gravity screen since I had my phone, but can't use it while driving, since I'm using a suction cup on my wind shield and it's better to just tap.

Gravity screen seems install itself as a system app = =""
knockr is not real lock screen
just jump from locked to a state that is in that app, the screen is not really off
Hmmmm that explains knockr's excessive battery drain, thanks mate

There is a setting "turn screen on by proximity" for ur situation. All you have to do is tap the proximity sensor to wake the screen. It works for me really well.
