Disable Start Menu?

hello, i would like to know if there is a hack or registry tweak that would disable the start menu? with all the full filled interfaces available, i dont need it anymore. can anyone point me to the right direction?

do you want to disable the menu itself or to hide it?
there is no point in actually disabling it.

Re:
Find the window to get the handle using Findwindow and make it disable using api ( like on window mobile EnableWindow(hwnd, FALSE)...
i think the same approach is on every OS .

hide it actually, what i actually want is so that when i press the start button, nothing happens. or at least prevent the menu from appearing.

hehe. i must be missing something here.
you want to see the Start button... that is.. you want the taskbar to be visible.. but you want to click start, and that nothing will happen.
i fail to see why.
I can tell you how to hide the taskbar with the start button so that you get extra screen space if you don't need that part..
but why would you disable the start button? just trying to understand.

Don't press it?
And assign the hardware key to something else, assuming you have it.

I hope this helps Startbar Toggle by me.

App to add wifi option to powerbutton menu?

Is there an app that will add turn wifi on/off option to the menu, with power down, airplane mode and silent mode, that shows up when you press the powerbutton?

It sounds like you need to be rooted. Then you can add almost anything to anything. OR search a power wiget on the market.

i dont think apps will be able to edit this dialog. you'll need to find a custom rom which implemented this feature (or ask a cook to do so..)

:'( that sucks should be an apparently to change them to whatever you want :-D

With something like Notification Toggle you could add it to your expanded notification bar if you don't want a widget on your homes screen.

[Q] MIUI nav bar

Is there any way to disable nav bar on lock screen? Also, I'd like to get rid of menu button and have on screen menu buttons. Is there any workaround?
PS: I don't want to spam dev thread. That's why I'm asking here. .

That's pretty much how miui behaves, miui apps don't have a overflow button
so the navbar requires the hardcoded menu button

No, apps do contain overflow button. I tried to change the nav bar using Xposed. No luck.

[mini GUIDE] Go Immersive with Edge navigation - NO ROOT

First of, you need to enable full immersive (hide both navbar and status bar) via ADB command described in this article
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...re-screen-real-estate-no-root-needed-0177297/
Then go to Edge screen settings and download/install Softkey Edge application. For convenience, order the Softkey edge to be first.
Let me know how it goes.

Nice!.... I will try

I tried this and while I like the full immersion I have to wonder if there's really a reason for the edge navigation since the soft keys already show back up if you swipe up from the bottom.

I went with toggle immersive mode remapped on my bixby button..
it's better since we'll have quick option/action to turn on and off the immersive mode.

They probably used either BixBye or bxActions (or some other equivalent) but I have found that those apps cause scrolling lag/dropper frames when granted accessibility rights. I used a combo of GMD Immersive Mode and Navigation Layer and found it worked pretty well without lag issues.

well I made the toggle immersive app using tasker and autotools since I have them.
(in tasker select plug-in > autotools > secure settings > display > immersive mode)
then use bixby remapper app to launch it, just choose one that works for you.
at first I used bixbye app to remap bixby button, but it's accessibility rights and usage
broke my one hand mode setting.
then I use Bixby remapper that still has old accessibility rights mode (without swipe rights)
and it's working fine.. I don't see any scrolling lag .

definitely cool. easy to do. figer sensor also works to bring down the notification panel so I just did the notification. I like my Nav bar.

well I reverted.. this breaks Google voice typing. and Whatsapp looks all broken.

Is there any way to enable one hand mode when using gesture navigation?

title.
In the settings you can enable one hand mode by tapping the home button twice, but when using gestures, well... there is no home button. Is there a workaround?

Maybe not exactly what you're asking, but you can activate it by pulling down the notification bar/quick settings.
A bit easier than to go into the settings.

I didn't even think of searching for this mode in the quick settings. Thanks!
