XDA member @AL_IRAQI has shared a pretty awesome mod with the community involving the modding of SystemUI.APK to reveal some unreleased hidden options including a nice navigation bar customiser.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-android-nougat-t3446791
Flashing the relevant modded SystemUI zip from the thread there (I compared the Nexus 9 LTE and Wifi versions of SystemUI.apk and they are identical) to an UNENCRYPTED Nexus 9 (on NRD90M) will reveal the hidden customiser in System UI Tuner.
Among other things, this allows for custom shortcuts to be added to the navigation bar.
One of the options is to add keycodes - some of which are, in fact, useful shortcuts. In addition to the more self-evident shortcuts such as a clipboard, increase brightness, People, Calendar, Camera & Calculator (the last two of which don't seem to work at the moment), there are a few less obvious ones which are pretty handy.
Example setup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Left three: Keycode - Call (long press opens up voice search automatically), Keycode - Envelope (opens Gmail automatically), Clipboard.
Right three: Keycode - Explorer (opens Chrome automatically), Keycode - Music (opens Play Music automatically), Keycode - Sleep or Power (opens power button automatically i.e. single tap = screen off/sleep).
When we add the keycodes we are prompted to add an image for the shortcut as well.
I downloaded the app Material Icons and exported a few icons (hdpi) but you can use any (size matters).
In the below screenshot you can also see a few of the other working shortcuts - People, Calendar, Increase Brightness, and Menu
Zip file with the above icons - http://goo.gl/dkEkQt
Caveat - The Navbar tuner software in 7.0 is a bit buggy, it saves the shortcuts and icons OK, but after every reboot it is necessary to go back into the tuner and change something (anything) in order for the custom shortcuts to show up again. Also, certain keycodes don't seem to work, including Camera and Calculator.
There are probably a few other handy keycodes, if anyone finds any more of the less obvious ones, feel free to post them!
Wanted to try this out, so I made a flashable zip for N4F26X:
app.box<dot>com/s/hh6ykur5mszdpjifp0oozfdghf1mgk23
Recently made a new account, so I'm not able to post links ... Replace the <dot> with a period.
I wish if it possible to bring the circle battery mod to the Asop rom?

Great. Does " Lidroid 24 toggle buttons" have 2G/3G switch?
For some reason when I tried the ROM, Touchwiz kept crashing when trying to delete the additional home screens.
Another issue was that I had no way to add a Corporate account for syncing my contacts; only Google and Samsung accounts were available. Hence, syncing Exchange contacts is not possible.

- Shortcut in the notification
- Shortcut floating on the screen over other apps
Features:

- Set floating shortcut to the desired position on the screen
- Floating shortcut can auto return to lock position
(In this mode, when shortcut is moved, it will automatically move back to lock position in seconds.

I really wanted to check it out, but it just crashes on my box. Won't open even once. I have noticed that a lot of launchers do this, though.

Displaying apps on one raw
Hi,
Is there any option to display the apps of the selected section on only one row (in stead of spreading them on all the screen)?
This could be useful, especially on TV, when a movie or an image is already on the screen. This way, we don't hide all the screen with the app shortcuts.
Of course, this supposes that it is possible to show the launcher over an already running image (or movie) like the android tv launcher does when we hit the home button.
I tried your ugoos launcer and its good. I however settled with tv2 launcher. Reason being that tv2 launcher let me save the settings and then copy those settings to another box and import everything in few clicks. I don't have to do everything manually again and again. BUT Ugoos is still my 2nd backup option. Can become number 1 option if it has the import settings option.
I have some other ideas also..
please add recent app option
thank you!
why does there have to be a white background behind the icons ?? Background for icons would look much better being transparent. Also the launcher is supposed to automatically put apps in different categories but it does not do this at all. For example I have the chrome browser app but launcher does not put it in the internet category etc etc. For these reasons I will not be using it at all. Thanks
I just use Microsoft launcher. Seems to work fine
