[MOD] NavBar Gone

In settings, if you go to Display>Advanced>Display Size and turn it to small it makes content on the display smaller.

Are you rooted? How small do you want it?

Enable developer options and set smallest width to 500 .You might want to also max out text size in display settings. Still not small enough, go up to 580!

Anyone know a launcher which will hide the navbar. I know lineage OS has the option to hide status and/or navbar.. I don't feel like using the adb hack to go immersive mode, would be nice if a launcher offered the option

If you have root I can get rid of it for you.

I know you didn't feel like using the adb hack, but if you were happy to have a single adb session you could use SystemUI Tuner - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner . You just need to set give it the required permissions in adb and then you can control immersive mode from the app whenever you fancy.
It also allows a couple of other handy things like setting custom notification snooze durations.

Thanks I will try this.

Thanks. I am looking to hide it like lineage OS where you can swipe up to see it again, not totally remove it. Was hoping a launcher might have that but haven't seen one yet.

Lollipop Quick toggles

Hello, im running stock lollipop and i somehow deleted bluetooth toggle and added invert colors toggle to my notification bar. I have absolutely no ideea how this happened. How do i customize my quick toggles?
Perhaps this will help:
submitted 4 hours ago by ollien32GB
Hey guys
Playing around with Lollipop I accidentally added Invert colors into my quick settings menu. All the information I found said I needed to root and clear SystemUI data in order to remove it, but then I found this
Enable USB Debugging
Connect to a PC with adb
In a terminal type: adb shell pm clear com.android.systemui
Reboot phone
It will clear your wallpaper, but it does reset QuickSettings!

neat. i didnt realize that it was a feature in lollipop, you can add stuff to the quick toggle! what i did was just use a function(hotspot) and it got added to the pulldown
can u tell us exactly how to add or remove if possible?

use a system function(like hotspot). while its on, itll be in the pulldown. if you dont use it for a little period of time, itll disappear.
So you cant add or remove toggles willingly, its based on how often you use it.

Notification/Status Bar in Android 6

Is there a way to disable the annoying "feature" of transparent status bar? I've been searching for days and am only finding Xposed modules recommended or status bar replacement apps but I just want to disable the transparency, nothing else. Is there a way to do in Android V6 (Marshmallow) on Samsung Touchwiz?

No
it s default on android 6.0 system UI so you have use a 3rd party tool or app to disable it.
like nova launcher > setting > looks & feel > disable transparent notification bar
there is no setting in Android System itself

Damn, so much for Android being the OS of "options". Another IOS, here we come?
Is there any other app you are aware of instead of a full-blown launcher? Something simpler?

Got it. Did that, thanks man. Is there a way to disable the "expansion" of notifications by default? After I rooted, all notifications are showing expanded. It used to take a two-finger swipe down to expand each but now they just all show up like that by default. And I'm not even able to collapse them. They start collapsing when I do two-finger swipe up but go back to their expanded mode when let go.

No.
technically when there is expanded option for a notification so user may need to do something! >> it s useful
to collapse it two-finger swipe up should work just make sure put two finger correctly!

The two finger swipe looks like it's gonna happen with the notification starting to collapse as expected but then expands back when the fingers are released. It will not stay collapsed. And they are ALL expanded by default, even a silly screenshot notification and other notifications that didn't used to be expanded before I rooted but are now.

Question about the latest update?

Hello!
So I just have a quick question about the latest update for the S8, where they removed black as an option for the Navbar color and enabled us to hide it (immersive mode).
Whenever you hide the navbar, how does the "swipe up" gesture work in reality? As in how "good" does it work? I remember (before the update) trying the immersive mode with Custom Navigation bar (app), and the swipe up gesture was bad, whenever I tried to get the navbar up, I was scrolling up in the app I was using as well..?

It works great. Much easier than previously. And here's a link on Reddit to get Black NavBar back, it works and is safe.

Alright great!
Nice! But how much different is that from this: https://www.xda-developers.com/change-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-color/amp/ ?
I'd rather use ADB than download an apk from an unknown source

It's just easier than ADB, if you don't have the sdk downloaded or not around a PC. I used ADB to get rid of the battery icon in the status bar. The apk is just an overlay like all of these.

Just tried with System UI tuner app but it's not that.
You may go to Settings -> Screen -> Statusbar icon manager (or something like that) and disable items on by one. If it is a system icon it will disappear after disabling an item. If not you should look for an installed app.
BTW, where did you get that nice background image?

I got this image from instagram
I found that the icon is caused by my keyboard app (Smart Keyboard) but haven't figured out how to make it disappear without changing from keyboard app...

Question 3rd Party Launcher with Vivid Navigation Gestures

In the app settings for Vivid Navigation Gestures, it has the option to hide the navigation bar. It says I can do it through ADB without root. Does anyone know how to do this or can give me steps to do this without root? Thanks!
so i entered the command (ive tried this with Fluid navigations also) that it gives to hide the navigation bar and it does not hide the buttons or the navigation bar... Is there a way to hide them and still use a 3rd party launcher with either Fluid or Vivid navigation apps? Thanks

Does not work on miui there is only one way I found without root that would work. I'll post it later. Much easier with root and no reason not to root
Ok. How would I do it if I did root? I'm just kinda worried I might mess up the phone.... If I only have a Mac computer can I still root? Thank you.

i know nothing about MAC you'll have to google.
use the app setedit you can download in the play store
use adb to get the proper permissions, if you check the app description in the play store it says the command you need to enter
select global table on the right side and find
force_fsg_nav_bar 1
i'm not sure if the standard value is 0 or 1 cause I already have mine changed. so if its 1 change it to 0. if its 0 change to 1.
you will have to do this everytime you reboot though
much easier and better to root, install magisk and hide with a module. read my tips/tricks thread on what you need to do
Thanks, the setedit app worked great. When I restart the phone, do i just have to go back in to change the value? That would be all I need to do to have it hiding the buttons? Thanks again!

Yes. There is a way to buy the app and it will auto do it when you reboot too. You'll have to try to figure it out
You can hide navbar without root using adb by changing into miui gestures overlay. It works until you reboot your decide, then you have to repeat.
Here's the command:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

Hey all:
Vivid Gestures keeps losing accessibility settings, and I need to keep reenabling it.
Does anyone else have this problem and (ideally) some kind of solution.
Thanks
Ok...
Started using Full Screen Gestures, and that seems to work better
You cant use third party launchers then, correct?
Full Screen Gestures is an app, an alternative to Vivid.
It seems to play nicer with the Fold 2.

And I'm using Niagra as my launcher, which is great with foldables.
