Just updated to 20140130 on my Nexus 4 and played around with the new navigation bar settings. I decided not to change anything and reset the navigation bar.
Now the navigation buttons (back, home, recent) show up on the lockscreen (slider ring) and they work! I can't see what I'm doing, but as soon as I unlock I can see that I went back, to the home screen or pulled up the recent list. This seems like a major issue to me as it essentially renders parts of the lockscreen useless.
Also, the navigation bar isn't transparent anymore on the home screen, but some kind of grey gradient (not even the standard solid black).
Thanks for all the good work up to this point!

I know that some launchers can hide the status bar, but only for the homescreen
Also, in CM7, I can set long-pressing a button to toggle it, but only for that instance; it will reappear as soon as I switch to another screen
Besides, since most of the info are already on the lockscreen, I don't find the point of having the status bar on lockscreen (wouldn't the lockscreen look better too?)
I hope devs will improve this by having the status bar hidden all the time once toggled, and retoggle to bring it back at any time, and/or autohide
Since Galaxy Nexus doesn't have capacitive buttons, the toggle can be implemented into long-press power menu along with screenshot and others
So devs, please consider this (for the love of those sexy AMOLED and the 3 Nexus)
After watching a demo of the new BlackBerry 10 today, it occured to me that Android doesn't need the navigation bar taking up screen real estate. The back button can be replaced by swipe from left edge into center (similar to pulling down the notification bar on top). Swiping from bottom up brings up the menus. And swiping from right to left can either go home or with a second up or down flick go to recent apps (or switch these two).
Once this is implemented, manufacturers can get rid of the bottom capacitive buttons, increasing screen size while keeping phone physical size constant. Android can finally get rid of the navigation bar that wastes so much space.
Make it happen I'll test but I like my soft keys

Well, that's a thought. Personally, I'd just put the softkeys into the statusbar and get rid of the navigation bar altogether.

Apparently the Ubuntu smartphone OS has all these edge swipe gestures in the plans:

Hello everyone, I'm a Google pixel owner
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I wanted my taskbar to hide on home screen only. While there are apps that are able to do the trick - with app specificity, meaning I can do it on the home screen only - I noticed that in the navbar area the touch screen won't work. Is there a way to hide the nav bar without this issue while doing it?
Thanks
In every app I run the status bar text (time, battery, signal etc) is white and nicely visible, until I go back to the home screen where it turns black and I cannot read anything anymore.
Stock theme or custom themes all share the same issue
Any ideas? Going crazy
Hi,
Since the update to one ui 2.0, i have a permanent black bar where the navigation buttons usually go,(i used gestures btw).
Its like the black bar you get under the keyboard which i have turned off, but still just get an empty black bar at the bottom of my screen now.
I've drawn round it in red to show what I'm on about in the attached picture.
Is anyone else having this issue and how i do i remove it.
Thanks in advance
Sometimes the bar will change colour to what's on the screen, but before the update it wasn't there at all.
Hi, I only got that when I used the kwgt app to theme my phone. I still want to know why but anyway once uninstalled my phones back to normal.
