This mod is no longer maintained as it does not work for the latest VZW OTA Build VS98012B. Look here for a better alternative.

Requirements:

• VZW LG G2 - Stock (VS98010B/VS98011A)
• Root
• Recovery (TWRP)

Installation Instructions:

1. Download the file
2. Reboot to Recovery (via Goo Manager)
3. Install zip
4. Reboot
5. Go to Settings>Display>Front touch buttons, and select the theme Black Gradation.

To revert back to stock, download and install RevertRecentKeyMod.zip from sefnap's thread.

Downloads
- Mod
- Mod + Menu Ellipsis
- Mod + No Icons
- Mod + No Icons + Menu Ellipsis

No Icons: removes E911 icon, headphone icon, and hides 4g icon when wifi is connected.

Thanks:

• sefnap for replacing menu key with recent apps
• ATMOSF3AR for LG G2 image

Only want a black status bar? Check out my black status bar only mod.

Any chance of getting this without the recents/menu change?

And can the position be changed? ie menu home back

This also works with the smaller nav bar mod! Great stuff!

No. I just tested it. The buttons will switch positions but the recent app key does nothing. Seems to only work if the recent apps is in the third position.

You can get the mod without the recents/menu change here. The button position can be changed in the settings (only for the mod without the button change).

FYI this mod works in conjunction with the shrinking navbar mod. I'm using the smallest navbar, with the black mod without location icon. looks great.

Yes it works with clean Ron


Could we get a mod to hide the status bar altogether?

Any way to make recents a long press for search, and back button long press to kill current app?

Is there a way to make the nav bar auto hide itself when using MX Player? It is really annoying to not be able to use full screen.

Just noticed this and cant remember if its always been like this... If I pull down the notification panel from the lockscreen, the nav bar pops up.

I think it may be a problem with MX Player on the LG G2 because apps like YouTube are able to auto hide the nav bar when playing videos.

I'm a little confused. So if I flash the recent apps key mod does it act like aosp software keys and add the in-app options key for settings? Does it have the options key in the nav bar for older legacy apps?
