An awesome app I downloaded at the suggestion of @xPhantom is GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys which can be found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
The free version of the app is okay, but if you're willing to shell out the $4 for the Pro version it becomes an amazing app. There are various ways you can auto hide the soft keys set up within the app as well as the option to change what the keys themselves look like.
Just figured I'd give everyone the heads up because if you're like me you despise the fact that a portion of your screen is being hogged by those stupid keys.

Nice post, @StormMcCloud
I was going to use pie at first, but I decided this fulfills my needs perfectly. It's a nice and simple way to hide the nav bar while also having a little bit of customization.
Just installed it and love it. I was using pie but this is so much easier to use and works really well too.
There's also Ultimate Dynamic NavBar as well.
Available here on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198) or the Play Store.
I've been using pie from Viper since it came out but recently added Vipers Nav bar (it auto hides) to the bottom and pie on the right. That way my wife can stop cussing about how she can't figure out pie when she wants to use my phone.
I've been using this also just decided to buy the pro version today. It is awesome. Only thing I don't like is even when holding the camera in portrait I have to tape the left side to get the nav buttons to go back or home. Not a huge deal though. When people use my phone they are like how do you go back?!?

If you go into GMD and enable "Landscape Side Mode," the nav bar will be where it's supposed to be while using the camera.

**update** while it's a cool app, I found it to be a bit buggy as I used it more, but the thing that ultimately made me stop using it, the nav bar wouldn't pop up while in the camera, I had to go into the gallery from the camera in order to get the nav bar to come back. I ended up getting the nav bar in Viper one to work for me, so I'm now using that and it's not buggy at all

Is there a them that looks similar to MIUI, without having to run MIUI itself. I ask this because I use MMS and the camcorder quite often, which currently doesn't work on MIUI.
I think its best for you to wait for MIUI to be finished. It will be the easiest and most seamless way to do it.
TouchWizz is pretty iphone looking imo.

Good point. Decided to run SPB Shell 3D. It's a great interface that's just missing those few touches that would make it a must have launcher.
Once MIUI is fixed and working ~100% I'll definitely be going back to that.

i figured out how to do an iphone theme
first, put all your apps on the home screen, then unroot your phone, glue the pattery cover to the phone. get a pad lock and glue that to the phone, and then before you do anything, find a guy named steve and ask him if its ok first

The true power menu like what comes on the Galaxy phones is MUCH more elegant than that.
I came from a Captivate and I miss it bad. I still pull the notification bar down out of habit to toggle different things.
I will be watching this.
Quick Settings is pretty good too and its free. Maybe not as nice as the one on GS phones.

I use an app called "Extended Controls"... it is very similar, but after trying both I found it to be a bit better (more features overall, but color selection on indicators is limited)
Extended Controls /=/ Notification Power Control
I use Extended Controls as well but it is *not* the same thing as what is being requested in this thread. A mod like this already exists on the EVO and DInc...and it is quite handy (plus it frees up some space on your screen.
Hope this gets worked out for the X b/c I'm sure waiting for it...patiently/impatiently

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe the reason why Cyanogen isn't on the DX is because of the inability to load custom kernels onto the DX.

You guys actually helped solve a problem for me. My Photo Editor always acted bizarre; even before the update. When I'd try to crop a picture it wouldn't allow me to move the crop lines beyond a certain proportion or point and it drove me crazy. My Photo Editor looks like OP's after the update. I cleared app data via Application Manager and it didn't change anything. I remember taking an update for Photo Editor from Samsung Apps. Apparently, it's not compatible with the N3. Once I uninstalled the update everything went back to normal.
You might try uninstalling the update to Photo Editor (assuming you accepted it) and see if it helps.

Forgive me not finding it, I did look, but I thought I recall seeing people talking about how to change the color and behavior of the nav bar on the Mi Mix (bar with home, back, menu buttons). I think I would prefer if it was just always dark and maybe also always present. Looking for options to play with.

Would love that too. I normally have everything at least darkened but not white. Unfortunately I think you can't change menu and NavBar Color on your own but only with a theme which changes everything and (mostly) has to be "bought" with mi credits. Very frustrating.
Hope someone has a better answer.
I'm using Xposed and a module called flat color bar... It colors the navbar to match whatever app you are using. Requires root tho obviously.

I just took Nav Bar completely off, i know you said you want it to present all the time, but to me, taking it off extend the screen and you get to see more. I have been using it like this for few days now, imo so much better than having that bar there. Amazing to have all apps in completely full screen.
You use that dial thing for navigation, or what?

There's an app called Navbar Apps that lets you change the color of the navbar without root. Though it has a problem with the Mi Mix since the navbar is rounded. Where the radious begins and below it on the navbar it will always be white so it looks a little weird on this phone unfortunately.

You can just swipe it away and it will stay away and use the "Quick Ball" instead.
If you are rooted there is an easier way using xposed framework, just download and install " force immersive mode" which gives you glorious full screen for what ever app you wish.....ive enabled it and it's absolutely awesome...the nav and status bars just disappear till you need them.

I was looking all over but this. After hiding even the black bar went off. Very happy now.
Will wait for unlock, install EU rom, nova launcher and desktop visualizer to create invisible icons.
Then entire screen will be clean as slate.
Thanks once again.
you can change its color and or presence permanently IF you unlock the bootloader and root the device. Personally I am going to go the non root method and just have it hide whenever possible. I see no reason to risk anything root /bootloader wise just to change what should be an option already in the ui.
