Navigation buttons - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Anyone know if it's possible to change the size of the navigation buttons? It's so small for a giant screen like that what has in this phone.
Thanks.

Or, does anyone know how to make them disappear?

adb shell
settings put global navigationbar_is_min 1
This hides the navigation bar while keeping the status bar visible.

Thanks! I'm trying that now. it does seem to have a keyboard issue but I'll see how it goes...

This trick doesn't work anymore on MHA-L29C185B182.
To apply the settings temporarily, the original Huawei Home launcher must be used, and after reboot the phone , navigation bar reapers.
Did you find any alternatives?
Thanks!

[Q] Can't uninstall BIG-IP Edge Portal

Hi
I've just installed BIG-IP F5 Edge Portal. I meant to install the Client but made a booby.
Now I can't uninstall the Portal, as to do so I need to Disable it from Device Administrator, but I can't find the settings for it under ICS on my Sensation
Instructions say
Menu -> Settings -> Location & Security -> Device Administrator, then disable BIG-IP.
Now ICS has Location and it also has Security, but no sign of Device Administrator. Until I can disable it I can't uninstall the app as everything is greyed out.
Any ideas?

Can you use Root Explorer, ADB, .. to remove/rename the APK or will that screw things up further ? Of Freeze it in Titanium ?

Change AppSwitcher softkey to Menu (Root Required)

CHANGING THE APP SWITCHER KEY TO SHORT PRESS MENU, LONG PRESS APP_SWITCHER
Step one ROOT, install a root browser, install an SQlite editor
1 using a root exploer app navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db open this in SQlite editor
2 select system, scroll down to APP_SWITCH_KEY_BEHAVIOR (should be around #171) and change from 0 to 1
3 exit ( depending on sqlite app of choice save if prompted)
4 Reboot and profit
*** Note this sticks after reboots obviously because we are not touching the /system so write protection is not an issue

thanks for the tip! on my at&t version the settings.db is located in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ folder. worked perfectly.
I did this using gravity box. But I preferred to have it long press for menu and leave it as short press recents. You can even set the long press duration too. I have back button as long press to kill current app and long press recents for menu. It's sweet. Most everything in gravity box works.
Thank GOD for this! . ?

I thought gravity box wasn't supported on non-AOSP. Have a link to the module you're using?

Assuming you meant /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db rather than /data/data/com.providers.settings/databases/settings.db... i cant open the DB to edit it. tried two different sql editors. Any ideas?

Worked like a charm! I love this functionality..seems stupid not to have it this way from the start by Verizon/HTC.
Looks like there's a few things to tinker with in the system part of that database
Nice touch. Working great here. Thinking of poking around and seeing what other kind of trouble I can get into.
Man...mine stopped working again and when I look in the editor, it is still set at 1. All I get are recents when I press the button and nothing else.
This is fantastic. I recommend this should be a sticky.
FYI. The function is now at line 1155 since the update

Get powersaver and quick setting (post 3) back on 4.4.3

Get sqlite editor from store. Open it and browse to settings storage. Open it. Click on settings db. Click on secure. Change hide ui powersaver and hide powersaver connectivity to zero. Exit and reboot

Glad to know that still works. Was kind of worried it wouldn't work since they skipped it and added EPS.
in order to get your powersaver quicksetting back, use a root explorer and open /system/customize/ACC/default.xml
Scroll down to the full list of quick settings (pictured below)
add <int>6</int> to the list
save and reboot. Presto, you have a power saving quicksetting in your list.

What is the path to the Settings.db file? I don't want to use a paid editor,and like to know what file I am changing.
Thanks.
edit:
Is this the file?
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
If so, why can it no longer be opened with my free sql editor I have been using for years?
edit: Downloaded aShell granted SU, granted root, and launched saqlitemanager from there, go into the table "secure" and make the changes.

Hide navigation Bar for MHA-L29C636

Hello everyone,i was wondering if there is anyway to edit the build.prop to enable the Hidden settings?afaik only MHA-AL00C00 habe the ability to hide the navigation bar.
Thank You in Advance.

You can try to activate feature a retractable navigation. Need full ROOT
Method:
Using RootExplorer go to System and keep a copy of the build.prop. If does not help, restore stock recovery. Then open the build. prop in a text editor and find the following line ro.config.hw_navigationbar=false(change to true)
If such lines do not exist you just need to enter
ro.config.hw_navigationbar=true
Put "permission 0644 and reboot

None of the usual methods work so far. I too would love a way to disable them as I prefer to just use LMT pie controls with no nav bar.

Can anyone confirm if this actually works? When I tried editing the build.prop previously it glitched the screen out and I had to wipe. Have you done this and successfully disabled your navigation bar?

i have done this and after reboot there is still no option for me to hide the navi bar
www.xda-developers.com/how-to-hide-the-navigation-bar-in-emui-5-0/amp/
That removes the Navbar but unfortunately LMT or any similar apps don't work when swiping from up the bottom of the screen, only the sides work.

Ai button remapping?

Is it possible to change what the Ai button does? saw it mentioned in someones video before
As of right now no.
Currently only root users can do it by replacing keylayout
https://github.com/TadiT7/xiaomi_pe.../system/system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl#L32
I've been looking for an answer to this.. I downloaded a couple of button remappers but there is no option to change this as far as I know... Someone please prove me wrong. This thing would be awesome with Ok Google launching instead of that Xiaoai...

(Solved) I was able to remap the AI button by doing the following steps.
Prerequisite: Mi Mix 3 must be rooted!
1. Replace "AI" with "GOOGLE_ASSISTANT" in gpio-keys.kl#L32 (this is merely a place holder for the key, it may work by just removing "AI") using root-browser to navigate to the /system/usr/keylayout/ directory.
2. Uninstall MI AI through ADB shell "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.voiceassist".
3. Use BUTTON REMAPPER
Enable Service
Press "+" to assign new key
Press the AI button
Check longpress "0.25 sec"
Action-Other...
Choose "Voice Search" (or any other app you want to the AI button to open)
4. Ensure the apps "Google" "Assistant" and "Button Mapper" can auto-start, modify system settings, and ignore battery optimizations.
5. Enjoy (at your own risk, it works for me)

replace it with what?

Maybe CAMERA or something, then you should be able to remap even other functions with this app.

Currently I'm on GSI and can't test right now, though.

No worries, i figured it out. I edited my original question with the solution (see above).
Disabling the Mi AI gives options in English including the Google assistant. I assume this is what the global rom will have. However none of the options work right now.

I really don't wanna root my phone for this.. Guess we'll have to wait until the Global rom can be flashed to our Chinese devices.. Good find guys!

Nope that didn't work. ?. I will figure it out.
I couldn't get it to work with that app so I used Tasker and AutoInput. It registers as key code 0 but works fine.
I use it to change from Normal to silent to do not disturb, very handy.
