I've reclaimed the space used by the soft buttons using Button Saviour Pro and AOKP.
Much better. Done the same with my nexus 7. Full screen games too.
Yea I do the same with Hide Bar and GMD Gesture control--thought not so much the latter anymore as inadvertently triggering a gesture was getting to be a pain so I disabled most.I've reclaimed the space used by the soft buttons using Button Saviour Pro and AOKP.
With AOKP you can resize the soft buttons to zero but still keep the notification bar. I tried the same on CM 10.1 and the launcher dock went a little funny. With Button Saviour Pro, I just tap the little arrow on the left hand side and the soft buttons overlay from the side. Works really well for me.Yea I do the same with Hide Bar and GMD Gesture control--thought not so much the latter anymore as inadvertently triggering a gesture was getting to be a pain so I disabled most.
It's nice having use of the entire screen.
EDIT: On no it is NOT the same. I see you still retained the status bar which is also hidden with Hide Bar and GMD Gesture control. Was that done with AOKP? (Not that I know what AOKP is.)

Welcome to the AOKP bandwagon

It ain't bad at all so far. Really good for such an early build.
Yeah I think so. I still haven't gotten anything near him so I don't know what he's doing.

Press and hold power button > turn off nav bar and you even have a nav bar in the power menu

Thanks. To be clear, what app or rom does that? Is it just from AOKP?
Michael
Just AOKP. Make a nandroid and flash it to see if you like it or not. No harm that way.
[ROM] [4.2.1] AOKP :: jb-mr1 :: build-1 :: mako
Might I as what a nandroid is? That would be great if I could run it to try it out first.
Michael
Yes I just have been booting into it with TWRP.I keep forgetting if you've flashed a custom recovery on your phone or just booted into it. You'll need a custom recovery (either TWRP or CWM). Reboot into recovery mode and backup (backups are called nandroids). After that you can flash any ROM or other modifications and if you don't like them you can go back to your nandroid which is a backup of your whole system. They take up space (mine are around 1-1.5GB I think) so don't make too many and delete old ones or transfer to your computer.

If you're already rooted, just install Goo manager from the Play Store > open it > press menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript and let it do it's thing.
I'm an iPhone 5 user but very curious about the N4 and Jelly Bean. I've read through a ton of the pages here (not all 42 though!) and I'd love to have one of these to play with - it looks sweet. Couple of questions:
1. I used Android up to 2.2. I've seen the latest vids - but overall, is Jelly Bean and Project Butter living up to the hype? My old Droid was super laggy on 2.2. The vids I've seen of JB look smooth.
2. What about Google Now? It looks pretty awesome to me. Hoping it comes to Chrome so that I can use it on my iP5. Do you find it useful?
Cheers all. I could probably afford a N4 to play around with but I am really kinda worried I wouldn't be able to put it down, but I'd feel stupid since I'm pretty well entrenched in Apple/iOS otherwise.

You can use some of the Google Now search stuff with the search app on iOS.

The rest of what Google Now does with calendar integration and location based info is incredible.

Greetings fellow Tampanian (is that what we're called ).
I was in the same boat as you about 6 months ago and now use both Android and iOS (iP5 and Nexus 4 for phones). My intention was to ultimately sell one but I'm having a hard time letting go of either. Too make things worse, now I'd like to get my hands on a Galaxy Note II and give that a try. My wife says I have problems, and she's probably right .
First off, the Nexus is a beautiful device, very solid feel and build materials are great. That being said, hardware cons are a subpar camera, a delicate back panel (glass supposedly scratches/breaks easily), lack of LTE, and terrible battery life--although this last issue supposedly is correctable via software. Regardless of the cause, I'm finding it significantly worse than my iP5.
On the software side, I admittedly had very little exposure to Android prior to ICS but JB is very smooth, really on par with iOS for the most part (I still have occasional lag but it's really subtle). My hesitation for moving to Android mostly had to do with my immersion in the Apple ecosystem but except for iMessage and AirPlay (Android third party solutions are inferior, IMO) it really isn't much of an issue any longer. There are third party apps that allow for iCloud integration of contacts and calendar that work really well and for the most part, app quality is good if not quite equal to iOS. The added capabilities of Android are what really set it apart.
Google Now really is pretty cool but I don't use it actively as it supposedly adds to battery drain that I can't afford on my Nexus 4 and many of the features are lost on me (travel, public transit, places, stocks, photo spots, research topics, etc). Voice dictation is more accurate than Siri but some of the things I like about and use Siri for are inferior--reminders, text messages, as examples. Overall though Google Now is a powerful tool that is much more capable than Siri.
I really like my N4 and if it had better battery life, improved camera and LTE my decision would be an easy one. Problem is, those issues, especially the camera and battery are significant enough to give me pause about switching permanently. I'm looking into a Note II because while I would lose immediate updates to vanilla Android (which I value highly), it would address all of these issues. And if I find one and like it, I'll sell you my N4 if you like.
