Uninstalled Nova 5.3 due to Nav bar but... - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I read that if you uninstall nova launcher 5 3 and revert to 5.2 you can remove the nav bar as it was before but I've tried multiple times with 5.2 and previous versions and I am unable to get the nav bar to dissapear.

Assuming you are on 5.2 and have the latest S8+ firmware installed, go to settings > display > navigation bar, then turn on the very first item on top.

Some information would be helpful. What are you trying to do exactly?
Do you mean hide the navbar with the latest OS update, using the little dot on the navbar? If so, this works with Nova 5.3 no problem.

Force any app to go behind the NavBar

I was looking for any module for my Nexus 5 that can allow me to have a translucent NavBar.
As I've understood, almost every app is set to don't go through the navigation bar, the result is that the NavBar has a black background and the screen looks smaller.
I found a module for KK but it doesn't appear to work on MM.
Any suggestions?

This is a little bit different. I would like to have my Navbar transparent as it is in immersive mode, not immersive mode I don't want the Navbar to hide.

Nav Bar

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.

Dark Navigation Bar

Is there any way to make the Navigation bar Black. I have tried substratum themes like swiftblack, pitchblack.. etc but couldnt get it themed. I have also tried xposed module (BlackNavigationBarfor 5t) which does work but it makes the recents kill button vanish.
Thanks.

I'm using "Navbar Apps", works quiet well, but doesn't do the job flawlessly. From time to time you'll get the white navbar.

Ur too noob maybe. When the keyboard pops up it goes white and at many instances.
"BlackNavigationBar 1.0.7" Xposed module is only thing that helped me to make this damn navbar to be always black and "gravitybox" helped to make those damn buttons black as well. Only unfortunately gravitybox does not have an option to make buttons to be transparent.
I do not understand why is it so difficult for google to make proper black theme with white text and icons. As well Oneplus is struggling to make the same damn thing.
In order to just get a simple the same interface from device to device I am always have to use multiple third party software.
I have not tried on OP6 but the following commands worked on my Samsung S8+. It should also work on OP6.
Command: adb shell
Command :settings put global navigationbar_color -16449536 (2 spaces after the word color)
Command: settings put global navigationbar_current_color -16449536 (2 spaces after color)

Did you try the settings on the OP6 yet, and if so did you try them on PIE?
they did not work for me.

Sorry, I did not as I use Gestures along with Nova launcher. Have not felt the necessity to go back to a true navigation bar. Also the commands I mentioned were for Oreo.
Try nacho notch on play store. It works really well. If you don't want it to affect your status bar just set its height at 0. (To change settings long press on the quick settings icon)

Check app's settings. You have an option to make the navigation bar black.

That's very generic. Please be specific as to what you mean by "app's settings." I want to make the nav bar black under one global setting not fish around on a per application basis. For example the play store, gmail, chome and firefox the nav bar changes color I want it to remain black at all times.

It has an option called "Black-Out Navigation Bar" which does nothing when enabled... I even rebooted the phone... The irony here is while running nacho notch the nav bar remains white.
Edit: pic added.
This is on Oxygen 9.0.2

Fully immersive mode

Hi I normally use bxactions to hide both the status bar and nav keys but it doesn't seem to be compatible yet and looks like Samsung have even stopped use been able to hide the softkeys
Does anyone know another way of having immersive mode I know it can be done with adb but doesn't that just leave us with a constant black bar at the top?
Thanks

Yeah, I tried hiding the status bar with ADB but it doesn't look right in most apps. You can still hide the navigation bar and use gestures, I'm just baffled that you can't hide the status bar in the default Samsung browser anymore. The option is still present on my Note 9 running an older version but on the Note10+ it's gone.

Ya I have the note 9 too and I've just got it set to immersive on the bxactions app but cannot seem to get it sorted on the note 10 I'm too paranoid about screen burn so its normally the first thing I do lol
On the Note 9, you can enable gesture navigation and then turn off the "hints" buttons, giving you a full screen experience. It should work the same way on the Note 10+.

Thanks I've tried that but don't like full gestures I like been able to swipe from the bottom and it brings up the softkeys also I'm after hiding the status bar the same way
You can use this to have an immersive mode toggle. You can choose what it hides. Status bar and nav bar or 1 or the other

Why not use gestures? I'm thinking Nova has hide nav bar, but I prefer gestures. I use Full Screen gestures magisk to hide white bar. I'm rooted.

Hiding the nav bar is no longer available in android 11. I just turned on gestures and it took 4 days of use to like it.

I know you can hide it with xposed edge but that means flashing edxposed then safety net doesn't pass so i switched to vivid gestures but now i can't hide navigation bar with it
Can you explain what you mean?
It is still possible to switch between gesture or three button navigation in Android 11, isn't it?
