Can you hide the soft keys?

I agree 100%. Moreover it makes the display specs misleading. A spec that says 4.5" display -> with soft keys it is actually only about 4.25". Such devices should say so, e.g. 4.25" display expandable to full 4.5" during video playback.

Where do you see Razr M advertized as having 4.5" screen? It's advertized as 4.3".

He was just giving a 'for-instance' example, not quoting a razr m spec.

Hello everybody!

So I have been looking around the internet for about half an hour now for a solution to this. I have a Nexus 4 and I just installed LMT and really like the fullscreen thing. After running into countless unhelpful threads about hiding the softkeys, I came across this: 【DoubleX】make yourGN fullscreen apk！【support4.1】 - xda-developers

It worked!!! It worked perfectly! (at least it worked perfectly on my Nexus 4). It hides the nav bar without hiding the notification bar!!!
