[Q] KitKat navigation bar is centered - can this be changed for tablets? - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I've searched the forum (and Google) for this but can't seem to find an answer to my question.
I've just loaded cm-11-20140625-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin on my HP Touchpad and everything's working A-OK (I did want to post this in the Touchpad/ROM''s forum but I'm a newbie and it looks like I'm not allowed )
The only thing that's driving me nuts is the navigation bar in KitKat, which is centered, and hard to get to when using a tablet (I can see how it makes no difference on a small phone). I'm referring to the very bottom of my first attachment.
The Back button and the other two are too far in the middle to be reachable when holding the tablet in landscape format (and not much better when in portrait) so I'm wondering whether there is a way to change this.
On previous Android versions, these three buttons were on the very left of the screen and so easily reachable without having to let go of the tablet to tap them (see second attachment):
I'm not sure if this is a KitKat thing, or if it's a ROM thing but I would appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thanks!
--- Just realized this is the General forum and not the Q&A forum, but since I can't seem to delete or move this, can someone please move it to the Q&A forum for me? Thanks ---

Thanks, Primokorn - I checked that thread out but it seems my ROM (CM11) is not working with that UI. Which is a shame since it looks like the perfect solution to my woes!
Any other suggestions, anyone?

2. You have a Tilt...apply the Tilt Keyboard Fix (don't you dare ask where to get it...use search)
3. You are running a non-Tilt ROM...next time post in the thread for that ROM
4. This has been covered many MANY times...please see the last two lines of my signature...

Editing/Removing Bottom Bar

Hi, please be gentle with me as I'm new here. I posted this on the HTC Mega forum, as that's my phone, but I thought I'd ask it on the Windows general forum as well. Here's what I posted:
"I'm trying to set up my Touch 2 so that it looks and feels exactly how I want it, and I'm nearly there. The only issue I have is the bottom bar. On the home screen it currently has "Phone" and "Contacts" as its default, and I'd love to either change it or (preferably) remove the bottom bar completely. I trawled through the user guide from htc.com and I've tried using the Search here to no avail so I just thought I'd ask. Any clues?"
My home screen looks like the attached - I'm using Easy Today Launcher, and johan kranzcmar's wonderful task bar (thanks johan!), along with a Pure Black theme.
Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in anticipation....
Anyone who can figure this out would be helping me too!
Moved as not theme release.

[Q] "Light" Themese for my LEO

Hi community,
First of all, it's great to be on baord, and this seems an awesome community.
Now to my stupid question.....
I found this webpage whilst I was at work on Friday. Whilst browsing, I found a theme that I would like for my LEO, but I did not bookmark the page (stupid for an IT professional)
Anyway, I was hoping somebody might be able to help me; what I can say is that it was a "minimalist" theme, with very few buttons, a small on screen digital clock, and it had what I would refer to as an "electric blue" background....just blue, no images, actually the same shade of blue as my Honda
So, if anybody can point me in the right direction, I appreciate it. Once again, sorry for my stupidity.
I think this isn't it but it comes close... probably?
best regards,
Myrixamophit
Thanks, but that is not the one
Incredibly, it is even simpler than that! I cannot remember the name of the person that posted it, but I scrolling through the forum now, because I know that as soon as I see the name again, I will recognise it.
Thank you once again
lots of "lite" themes possible with CHT 2.0....
but have you tried looking in your browser's history? (you probably have...but thought i would ask!)
I have looked through my cache; but at work, system automatically clears it.
BUT, I remembered today, was a few pages forward from a "wooden theme" that a developer did by using a shelf from Ikea....lol.
Wonder if this will help?

Hi Kuan Teen,
I'm sure I saw what you're looking for but wasn't here in this forum. I saw it in the "post your today home screen" thread in the android themes forum, so try there and you will find it.
I hope you get it, good look my friend
Once again, thanks all
I've accepted the fact now that perhaps somebody has removed the theme that I wanted. Perhaps it was a photoshop job? I've read that people do that sometimes.
New problem now....lol
Last night, I installed a theme, and tried to install it on my device, but the device complained about lack of space (I have Duttys ROM installed). So, can I install on the memory card (16gb)?
Thanks guys.
err.. don't know for sure but Blue SK-i was the first theme that came into my mind when I read your description

[Q] Launcer Question with Main Keys to Left on Tablet

Can anyone tell me what launcher or how to have the main keys (back, home, widgets) placed to the left on the bottom of tablet (old style) being in the middle they are impossible to reach.
I have read hundreds of discussions to find an answer but no one seems to show how to do or where to find.
It looks like AOKP has it also the new ASUS 4.2.1 but they do not have the file posted yet for the ROM.
Running 4.2.2 at this time. NOVA also does not appear to have that function. Maybe I am not searching for the right terms?
Any help appreciated,

[Completed] Problem with Cyanogenmod7 (2.3.7Ginger) on Notifications

Hello, my name is Sunicito from Venezuela:laugh:.
I've got a Huawei UM840 Known in my country as "Huawei Evolution 1", it is a very old and low-spec phone could only run Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread. I installed it with the CyanogenMod7, the rom and the installation guide was on a Venezuelan forum.
I've got to say the rom runs pretty smoothly and it doesnt lags (considering this phone stock rom is Eclair2.1 upgradeable to Froyo2.2 officially) so i am very happy with 2.3.7.
Everything was going fine with the phone and the rom but i have seen a problem with the notifications bar, specially when i slide it down, the notification letters show in dark as the background of the "sliding dock" so it is very hard to read what says unless i pass the finger trough it.
I Took screenshots for better understanding of my problem:
This is what normally happens when you slide the notifications bar: i.imgur. com/46hqPbp.png
This is what happens when you pass the finger trough it: imgur. com/EhHqzLl.png
So, my question is; what can i do to make those letters at least blank? i know CyanogenMod is very customizable and also this Rom came with ADWLauncher as stock launcher. I mean, its there any twerk that i can modify to get it at least readable?
I came to you becouse you know very well of these situations, i googled a lot but i didnt find anything.
I apologize for my bad english, im studying it so maybe in a future you will see a better understanding on my threads!
Greetings and thanks so much if you read this.
I hope that you can help me to find a solution! :good:
Good day to y'all people!

Unfortunately there is not much about your exact device on xda.
Here is what I found:
Huawei Evolution/UM840 Android 2.2 Froyo [Froyo Evolution v1.3.1] by Josue_181
[RECOVERY][ROM]Huawei U8500 by xcoder_123
You can post your question either in the last thread, or in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Good luck !
