Xtended NavBar

Xtended NavBar is an Xposed Framework module that adds an extra functionality to the navigation bar.
Swipe from the edges to change to Music player or Quick settings. Swipe back to show the navigation buttons again.
In the donate version you can also show favorite apps.
Playstore | Xposed Repo


Compatibility:
This module was developed for AOSP based roms. Don't expect it to work on heavily modified non AOSP based roms like Sense, Touchwiz.
Should be compatible with some other navigation bar customization modules.
It's recommended to do a nandroid backup if you're using the app for the first time.

Wow! really cool app! works well on my Moto G PA 4.4 RC2
I think a good idea for a panel would be a camera shutter button :)

Great idea. Like djsubterrain said, doesn't work on carbon ROM. Cant wait till it does though. Any chance you could upload it to the xposed app also?

I've got SlimRom nand backup too, I'll try it on there.

EDIT: Yeah, doesn't work on that either, I think both are based on CM11 though if that makes a difference. Also, I had changed the choice of navigation bar buttons, would that matter?]


I use menu, home, back and long pressing on back brings up recents.

If it helps, My face unlock also didn't show when I disabled the nav bar, when I enabled it again, back came the face unlock.

In other views...I wish xposed would go on the play store and have integration so your choice of modules could be saved under your google account.

Thank you, your tutorial helped a lot to get started :good:

Glad to hear it
You've done a better job than what I planned actually. I was going to have a button on the very left of the bar
When you pressed the button the Home button would become Play, Back would become Rewind and so on
When you pressed it again it would turn back
Never even thought if swiping :good:

any reason why you obfuscate a free xposed module?

Well thank you! It's not that I want to copy anything but you know the power of Xposed shouldn't be underrated ;)

It does have a donate version and the xposed class is not obuscated though.

One idea I had for it to stop accidental swipes would be to pinch to toggle a lock on the present page, good idea?

I think it's already difficult to open sometimes, so i don't believe this is a problem. I might add this anyways in a future update.

    I would love to give you money for your amazing module and to enable favorite apps but nothing happens when I click on donate ��

    It might be because there's no internet connection or in-apps are not available in your country.
    Or perhaps an error related with play services. Thanks anyways.

    I didn't really tested but it might not work.

    In landscape mode app icons are appearing very large, out of navigation bar.
    And using app shortcuts on lockscreen, apps are launched in background, it should ask to unlock the phone also.

    I will fix this soon. Thank you.

    Wow this is great and looks awesome!

    I noticed two little bugs, though.
    When in landscape mode, the back, home and recent apps buttons are not responding. I have to go to portrait mode to make them work.

    When in landscape mode and turn on wifi for example, the icon isn't there. I think the icons are too big to show all, only 3 out of 4 are working.

    I love this, though!

    Another issue I noticed: when landscape, and you swipe to the music controls, then go back into portrait then go back into landscape, the nav bar will be pure black (no buttons).

    Great module!

    Unfortunately, the latest update has a strange bug (didn't happen in the previous version). Upon boot the 3 standard navbar buttons are missing, but I can still swipe to pull up the extra ones. If I go into xtended navbar and refresh manually, they disappear again after the phone enters sleep mode and is woken back up.

    Phone: Samsung SPH-L710
    Rom : PACman 4.4.4 - nightly 7/10

    Logcat below from turning the screen off then on.

    The latest update should fix these bugs. I'm sorry for the delay, i finally find out what was causing this issue.
    The update should be available in a few hours on the playstore and should be already available on the xposed repo.

    Uploaded a new update. You can download the apk here (Google Drive). The update was tested on the roms below but it might now be compatible with others as well. If your ROM is not on the list you can try the updated version. Just don't forget to do a nandroid backup and please let me know if it isn't working.

    If the app already works well for you, this is a small update. More settings will be available soon, like customization of the toggles, more pages, etc...
    Edit: As reported already, the app only works on portrait mode. I will also take a look a this in the coming updates.
