[Solved by hiding Navbar] Serious Screen Size Issues

[EarlyMon]

Certainly not at the level of many of you, don't know how to install xposed, can't get the UDN to work, I guess I'm good with how things are, not worth bricking my phone.

If you'd like to give it a go, please ask about rooting and Xposed details in our All Things Root forum for your N5.

I'm already rooted but I will check out xposed, thanks, still learning this stuff. I'm good with flashing Rom's, zip files, etc. but some things make me nervous. I will do some research and see if I can figure it out.

Hi Lennydude, I'm very sorry for that... to be honest I didn't expect nexus 5 screen to be smaller than S3...

I own a "normal" htc one X bought in april 2013...

I'm sorry I can't be of help for you now...

see you!

Well, I can't get UDN to work, tried everything I could think of and/or was told to do. I keep getting 1-your phone is not rooted, but mine is. 2-SU has not given permission, but I have given permission. 3-You haven't installed busybox, but again I have.
To much trouble...you all have fun...I'm done!

Edit: Well I took a break, had some dinner and then tried again. I got it working and it is really nice. Definitely a must have.

Btw - just saw the top comment reply from the dev on full, safe hiding with Xposed supported.

Look for the comment at "Ultimate Dynamic Navbar"

Sorry for the delay. These forums are awesome. The people and mods really know their stuff!
After installing everything, this is an example of full screen picture without the soft keys or dots. I apologize for the quality but am in quite a hurry.
Thanks again for everyone's help

Nice!

Good to have the whole screen isn't it?

For what it's worth, I'm on Cataclysm and they have this option where you can turn the keys into soft dots after however many seconds you want. I have it set to 1 second. The dots are barely visible, very transparent, and don't take up any real estate.
