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.

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.

That's a solution but unfortunately that's not cutsomisable as we can found in ICS or JB custom roms.
As for me, I'm very interested with one navbar with search and power buttons, plus the possibility to change the bar height.

thx mister
there is no need to do so many changes in build.prop and what not. simply Install gravitybox in xposed framework(and ofcourse reboot your phone after enabling it). goto navigation bar tweaks, enable master settings. all other settings are pretty straightforward.
For aligning it, goto ''gravitybox ->navigation bar tweaks->custom settings'' and enable softkeys. play with these settings for a while till you end up with what you want, Bcoz i did .
And yes, before you ask, disabling hardware buttons is still not supported in gravitybox, so you'll have to do it the hard way. personally, i feel more is good.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get the soft keys to be hidden and pop up when you for example swipe up from the bottom of your screen kind of like the Pie Controls?
That would be amazing.

Well you can get Pie controls (slightly different from PA... less features but more customizable) by downloading LMT. It's a sweet app that is incredibly stable. That said, you need to find another way to hid your softkeys (like editing your framework-res) unless you want to have softkeys and pie at the same time.

Yes but I mean like a theme for LMT that makes the keys flat to the bottom instead of Pie style

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.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
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.

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'm with you in dying for a Nexus 5 (and nexus 6) custom rom to have immersive mode/expanded desktop. Cyanogenmod is working on it, but even as of today (11/29), it's not in any builds made from unofficial CM12. The only thing to hold you over until a dev puts this in is that there is a an app from GMD for immersive mode. I don't like how it works (and requires an in-app purchase to make a line go away) so I don't use it and rather wait "patiently" for expanded desktop/immersive mode on custom roms, but it's there.

First u have to install LMT launcher (tap lmt launcher xda on google and u will find the app).
Second u have to configure LMT launcher which is PIE Control.
And third u have to install root browser and add this line at the end of system build.prop : qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Make sure LMT launcher is well configurated because it's not possible to bring back the original navbar after this.
Hope I helped u.

I use LMT for pie (works great) and the hide navbar method of qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop same as you.
But it is possible to bring back the navbar launcher. Just navigate to your build.prop and delete the text you added "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" then reboot.

U can use a third part launcher as Nova to hide the notification bar on desktop and drawer but impossible to hide this one when u open an app.
