[REQUEST] Smaller nav bar with nav buttons - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day!
Guys, could someone, please, make a mod for LOLLIPOP - 50% smaller nav bar with smaller buttons and, if it possible, to change position of "Back" and "Recent" buttons ? I will provide all necessary files fast!
Thank you.

why don't you use Xstana (for changing) and Xposed (For make it smaller)?

Gravitybox does both. That's the setup I use

Guys, i`d love to, but i can`t install Xposed on Lollipop, because it needs install through recovery, and recovery doesn`t work for now

@slonn
Xposed isn't working on 5.0.2, at least, it cannot be installed without recovery.
I'll do one mod today...
I won't build mod that will replace icons position but will reduce size of nav bar icons.
Size is few mins job but replacing icon position is something else.
I just don't have time to do something like that (you want something similar we have on Samsung (Note 4, for example), right?)
The other problem is : I'm not sure it would even work without patched services.jar so I won't do that today...
As I said...
I'll release smaller navigation bar MOD today (stock icons)
That should work on stock services.jar
And if I find time (and testing shows it could work in odexed, stock firmware, without superuser MOD), I'll build few custom MODs.
(with KK icons, maybe even "Xperia" icons (if I find one of my old themes for Z2)
This isn't right place to post requests, Mike could you move this thread to Q&A

Do you know the height in dip or I have to guess? [emoji14] The default is 48dip and that one was 42dip, let me know and I'll make it in a minute...
Then I'll ask you about the navbar which I already modified in different ways using the work of Rajeev [emoji6]

Everything seems to be fine, but the "back" button is bigger then the other buttons.

This is a problem in the SystemUI have you modified it or it's still stock?
Wich configuration do you prefer for the buttons? I made also a systemui like this one ( in this case i should fix the size of the power button with your very small navbar )

The only modification i made is the button "close all" in recent apps.
And i prefer stock 3 buttons style. The only wish is the smaller size and change position of "back" and "recent apps" buttons

That's a solution but unfortunately that's not cutsomisable as we can found in ICS or JB custom roms.
As for me, I'm very interested with one navbar with search and power buttons, plus the possibility to change the bar height.

thx mister
there is no need to do so many changes in build.prop and what not. simply Install gravitybox in xposed framework(and ofcourse reboot your phone after enabling it). goto navigation bar tweaks, enable master settings. all other settings are pretty straightforward.
For aligning it, goto ''gravitybox ->navigation bar tweaks->custom settings'' and enable softkeys. play with these settings for a while till you end up with what you want, Bcoz i did .
And yes, before you ask, disabling hardware buttons is still not supported in gravitybox, so you'll have to do it the hard way. personally, i feel more is good.

[Q] How to navigate with no navbar???

So I downloaded the No Navbar mod for the Rage HD rom and flashed it and it worked... there's no navbar, increasing my screen size. But there's a *tiny* problem..... NOW THERE'S NO WAY TO GO BACK/HOME!?!?! People in the comments were praising the mod yet how am I supposed to use my phone without a home or back button??? There has to be something in the settings, right?? Any help would be much appreciated! Obviously I knew that the buttons would be 'gone' but I figured they would be in the status bar or would pop up when you swipe up or something.

You could try using "Pie Control" from the play store while you figure out how to get the actual XDA Pie Controls working.

[Q][SERAPHIC SEASON 6] How to remove bottom bar?

Hi everyone,
I really like this Seraphic Rom and it runs really well, however this bottom bar with navigation buttons is pointless since the phone has hardware buttons, and I can´t seem to find an option to disable it.
Anyone know how to remove this bar?
Thanks in advance!

Custom Navbar Buttons [No Root]

Has anyone used the Theme creator programme from Sony with there Z5 is it possible to just change the navbar buttons with it? Im guessing it's possible because Themes I've installed do change the buttons but I can't get to my laptop yet to try it. If it is possible I'm surprised there's no thread about it surely I'm not the only one who would like custom nav buttons.
Theres one there just called marshmallow. It uses the Google stock nav bar and doesn't look a whole lot different otherwise.

Think il get to my laptop next week and try making some custom buttons and making a theme with them.

Just replace the .png file of related nav button under a theme. Then istall that theme and you are good to go.

There's an app in the appstore which allows you to change your Navbar icons and configuration, assuming you're rooted. I used to use it on my Z3 and it worked like a charm.
Never used it on my Z5 and it's a paid app, so it's up to you.

Aye I've used it before works great, my Z5 isnt rooted though and until CM is available its likely to stay that way.
Yeah, Xperia themes can theme the nav bar icons without root. You can create a theme from scratch or simply modify an existing one. Use the Sony theme creator or use APKtool to decompile an existing theme and replace the nav bar icon images.
Just got to try this Theme creators well cool give it a try if you ain't already its very easy to use.

Theming the OOS Pie Navbar

Hello !
Just a simple question : Has anyone found a Substratum theme compatible with OOS 9, or any other way to theme the Navigation Bar (Three buttons mode) ? I'm looking for a way to change it to the old Nexus 4/5 navbar.
But until now, no luck !

Just checked it this morning, it works, but the buttons don't really scale properly, and whn you have a white navbar, the buttons don't turn black.
Btw, all themes do not work from what it looks like, a lot of themes are specified as "not working on Samsung Experience and OxygenOS".
I am using flux, flux white or vacoom and they work great
Bottom left substratum module works great on Samsung and oxygen

Oh, that sounds nice ! What I'm trying to achieve is simply the good old Android stock navbar from 4.0 to 4.4, aka the Nexus Navbar !
Albeit, with the same button size as the current stock Lollipop through Pie navbar. The old one was really big.

I'm talking about size because I bought your app, and it seems there is a problem regarding button size
