Why no full screen on g2?

This may be a total rookie question but why doesn't my g2 play games or Web videos in full screen.? It always leaves the white navigation bar at the bottom. See screenshot from Vimeo. Same thing in Ski Safari game.


The only time I can get run full screen playback with no navigation bar is YouTube videos.

Any knowledge out there on the subject and how to get true full-screen for these situations?

Thanks Phandroids :)
 
Welcome to the forums, Jwluther!
It's quite possible LG may bake this into the Kit Kat update (crossing fingers). AFAIK, otherwise you'll need to be rooted to do this.
 
I wouldnt play around with rooting the device if you aren't too familiar in the area. You can end up breaking things and it might be more trouble than its worth. Wait it out for the kik kat update, I'm sure they'll include this feature.

I'm rooted and running a custom stock ROM, I like to keep it as simple as possible to avoid any issues.

I agree, plus you will just end up stretching the image, I like the buttons where they are.

Can you tell us which custom stock rom are you running? I have been looking for a stock rom (unbloated) like I had Peach Sunrise for T-Mo phone back in the day.
