I almost always use my phone in extended desktop mode, so the nav bar is hidden, but sometimes for some reason I needed the nav bar so I turned off the extended desktop mode and there never was any problem. But now I can even disable Gravitybox in Xposed and there's still not going to be a nav bar.
Is it happened to anyone else before? Can I fix it without a factory reset?

Are your Xposed & Gravitybox up to date?

Yes, they are, but as I said before, I've tried disabling Gravitybox, so if that was causing the problems it should've been fine after rebooting.
Anyways, I'll do a factory reset and hope that'll solve my problems.

Is there any way to use expanded desktop/immersive mode without getting rid of the softkeys?
Essentially I don't want a status bar at all, but I don't want to lose my soft keys or have to swipe up to enable.
Ideas?

With Xposed + Gravity Box, there's an option to just do immersive status bar, so the navigation bar stays, but the status bar "hides".

ART is overrated. At least right now since its in development stages. The pros of Xposed outweigh the pros of ART in my opinion.
its driving me nuts! i have already turned the navbar off and started using pie but it gets to be a real pain sometimes. I dont mind the navbar but when on my homescreen i hate how much room it takes up...so, does anyone know of a way to hide the navbar from only the homescreen? I use nova launcher prime if that makes a difference at all
Nobody?
Pleeeeeeease I know there's a way...I just cannot for the life of me find it

You could use xposed with the gravity box module and swap between immersive mode and normal whenever you want.

Yeah but you have to use a toggle and it also hides the status bar, rite?

Do you mean that you can't pull down the notification shade? If so, I'm having a similar issue, and finding that when I rotate the phone so that the nav buttons are where the status bar usually is, they don't respond.
I removed the screen protector and also factory restore. Neither one work.
I went back to where I bought. And got a 1 to 1 replacement, as the phone is only 10 days old.
Since a couple of OTAs ago the customization of the nav bar has changed. I pretty much just want it to be black in all apps. There was an app "Nav Bar Apps" that did this but now it doesn't work like it used to. An example is in Nova Launcher the nav bar is always white, also in Swiftkey it's white. Any ideas?
I am looking for same thing. Black Nav bar and option to selective enable pin for all and individual apps

Flash a custom ROM like Renovate.

If you want the black nav bar back just use this theme from XDA. No need to void your warranty. Also there is Substratum for Samsung devices.

If you are familiar with ADB commands, this works perfectly for me without the root.

I've been messing with substratum and somehow my nav bar ended up like the pixel. When I try to change it to something else, when I press home button it still shows pixel icon. I tried to remove all layers and uninstall subtratum app but the pixel nav bar remained. Is there a way to get back to stock nav bar without having to reset phone. I also installed custom nav bar app and now the spacing between buttons is smaller I think.

You'll have to uninstall the substratum theme. Settings> apps > your theme. I'm using swift dark and there are around 20 layers to uninstall.
Alright so I got the stock nav buttons back... Is there a way to get the right dimensions? I used the custom navbar app and made it more compact than it was.

Do you still have the app? Did you make a backup of the original? If you didn't make a backup you should be able to use the app to remedy your situation.
yeah not sure how to get it back to the right layout. Everything is scrunched to the center.
edit: figured it out, had to purchase app to get custom layout
now get systemui error every time I rotate to landscape. Just gonna reset my phone I guess.
I have a new icon I have never seen before in my status bar upon reboot of my device last night.
Can anyone assist in figuring out what it might be?
I was curious (plus I'm stuck at home on a snow/ice day with nothing to do), so I found this. Not sure of a solution, though.

That is rotation lock icon & it appears when u modify status bar. Most likely with system ui tuner. It clears all the settings when u restart ur phone. Keep safemode setting on in system ui tuner to restore them back or do it manually after every reebot.
