Hey there
As the title says I am searching for a way to make the navbar smaller on Oreo
Saw many threads where ppl wanted to disable it but that's not what I am looking for
On Nougat I had some apps that made the navbar smaller but on Oreo it seems that those are not working anymore
Or maybe I am doing something wrong
Because I don't get substratum also not working (I know that changing navbar height with substratum is not working on Oreo atm?)
It's just working one time and that's it
Hope somebody can help me
No one? Please, the bar is very large, we need to oreo, please
Same here, updated to Oreo "crap" release and the navbar is HUGE! I want it a lot thinner. No solution I used before works now.
Until now nobody could give a solution or some mod?
I always used Renovate Ice ROM, with RiCE Tweaks app that allowed such customization, and much more. Not sure if it works with stock rom though. I agree, I always set my navbar to ~half of the original one, but that was also the case in nougat.

In developer options there is a minimum width option, try experimenting with that by increasing the number
Any news with this? The perfect solution would be an APK (like Nougat) that changes the navbar height

My substratum pack can disable it, but not set a height. Look up System Mods on play store.
Its under System UI -> Remove Nav Bar Immersive. Then make sure you install my app called Immersive and set it for Nav Bar.

Yeah I know that app and it's cool but that's totally not what I am looking for
I really like that substratum pack using it for making the navbar black
But in this case all I want it smaller navbar like on Nougat
Hmm

yeah it works, but changes the hole interface
with xposed and gravity box its possible to change the hight of navbar.
Just change the dpi in developer options, it won't make it shorter but the buttons smaller, looks so much better in my opinion.
this is what im looking for but no solution so far..
Same here.
Looking for this.

Are these mods going to come soon!! Was great having them on the 6p.
I hope so. I want these solid navigation icons gone.
Have either of you tried substratum yet?
Edit..it is risky, though I'm thinking navbar height would work with the substratum toolkit theme. I'm at work and don't want to risk a bootloop so will test it later.
Also, I'll probably be making this mod later today regardless

Hello!
So long story short I have blocked updates on my S8+ because I like my Navbar Black. But recently I removed the "block" and it registrered the update, but didn't download it. But now I have this annoying red "1" batch on the settings shortcut (the one located over the notifications-bar toggles). Anyway to remove this?

Hey try clearing data for software update and settings app . Mostly clearing for software update app will be enough.
Seriously, take the update, it is security relevant and has the hiding navbar. Use the navbar app app (yes), to keep it any color you like. Free and lightweight.
I seriously urge you to take the update because of the patches in there.

I have been considering taking the update.. Mostly because I've heard there should be another update on the they where you can control battery hocking app more.
That said I can already hide my navbar with Custom Navigation Bar (app), BUT I hate not having the navbar there at all times.. It's so annoying..
Also are you 100% sure Navbar apps can overwrite the system color?
Also I've heard people say the navbar is no longer transparent on the homescreen? And that is just ridiculous..

Ohh nice! Thank you, do you use Navbar apps? Hide it? Or just use some of the other colors?
Can you tell me which other colors you can use now?
Nav bar is transparent on home screen, I can confirm.
Screenshot attached.
Just tried "Navbar apps" by Damian Piwowarski in app store but it only works partially. It will turn the bar black when I am inside the navbar apps app and it is black when i open the app store, contacts screen, chrome, gallery, citymapper and some others, but on the home screen in Nova (the worst one since it looks ridiculous with my black background), and in bluemail and CM browser it is still white. Perhaps it is a different app @corwin_amber was talking about?
I think, we are both talking about the same app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I am using Nova Prime launcher, however and even Substratum for Samsung (no Root, would never do that) to theme everything to my likes and needs.
To me, personally, having a secure device is important, maybe different priorities (which is completely fine to me).

THIS IS A PIXEL MOD FOR THE NEXUS 5X RUNNING ANDROID 8.0 (O-DP4)
UPDATED MOD HERE https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/zip-android-oreo-pixel-mod-t3663681
I apologize for the absence and silence. I'm excited that people here are trying to help out others too. I know the answers to some of the questions asked and I'm sorry for the silence. I went camping over the weekend and returned home to 2 giant bombs on my life. I've been working out some personal issues since then. I haven't played with apktool 2.2.4, but I'm excited about it. I'll get back to this as soon as I can, and hopefully this will bring some exciting updates
Here's an updated Pixel Mod built for O-DP4! :highfive: The navigation bar + animation is still an issue. But hopefully APKTool 2.2.4 will bring full support for Android O soon or hopefully I'll find another way. The "Double Tap to Check Notifications" is almost ready I believe. So stay tuned for that.
Also, I've added a custom feature to the Pixel Launcher. The Pixel Launcher in Android O allows you to choose different icon shapes (such as square, rounded square, etc.)? For those who want this mod with stock icons, I added the stock icons into that setting. Just look for "Stock Nexus"!
I don't have a Nexus 5X to test this, but the work is the same. So I've created the same mod for the Nexus 5X. Because I don't have the phone to test, feedback would be much appreciated.
If you get a problem with Pixel Launcher repeatedly force closing, go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access. Thanks to
Queentus for the fix!
What's Included:
-O-DP4 Pixel Launcher W/ Wallpapers (Make sure to grant notification access for notification badges)
-O-DP4 Pixel Audio
-Pixel XL 1440p Boot Animation Blacked Edition (Thanks to Luthepa1)
-Pixel Blue Accent Color :good:
-Night Mode
-Round Icons
-"Stock Nexus" Icon Shape Available in Pixel Launcher Settings (See Screenshot)
What's Missing / Being Worked On:
-Pixel Navigation Bar Animation
-The New "Double Tap To Check Notifications" Feature"

Common Questions/Issues & Answers/Solutions
Tinted Nav Bar? Pixel Nav Bar?
-Not yet, still roadblocked on that one. Not giving up though.
Pixel Launcher is crashing repeatedly after flashing this mod!
-Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access. Thanks to
Queentus for the fix!
Not all icons are round?
-For some reason, yes. Gmail and Play Store are not converting to round for some reason. Work in Progress.
Substratum?
-This mod may break Substratum. If you want to use Substratum don't flash this mod. If you have, then just reflash your system.img to return to stock. If you want details, look for the footer*.
Notification Dots aren't working?!
-Make sure to enable the Notification Dots too. Go into the Pixel Launcher Settings (tap and hold like if you were adding a widget or changing a wallpaper). In the settings there is a category "Notification Dots". Even if it says "On" tap on it. Make sure "Allow Notification Dots" is on. Mine will do a little glitch like I repeatedly tapped it. I think it's just a bug in the Preview version of Pixel Launcher. But that should bring you the Dots if you don't have it.
Current Version: 2

Here's my reply in my 6P thread about this mod breaking Substratum:
"My guess if this mod breaks Substratum, it's not so much the mod, but Android O. Android O introduces it's own native theming support, which is why the Pixel and the Nexus have practically the exact same framework-res.apk. It's because the Pixel is actually utilizing a theme that is found in the vendor.img. If you look at the installed system apps of a Pixel on Android O, there's a new app called Pixel.apk. That's the theme. That shows up just like installed Substratum themes do.
I can guarantee you 100% that I can make this mod work with Substratum though, I've done it over and over again. The problem is I have to enable that theming support on the 6P instead of directly modifying the framework-res.apk. Remember the "Device Theme" setting in the first 2 previews? That's still there. Just hidden. I don't know how to activate it. But if you install the Pixel.apk theme from the Pixel in the vendor partition (has to be done manually) and then install a Substratum theme. What you find is that the "Device Theme" option appears. And you can then choose from your Substratum Theme or the Pixel theme. Just disable the Substratum theme (don't uninstall) and choose the Pixel.
However, I can't make that happen yet in just a flashable zip, so I don't have that as the released mod. But if you want Substratum compatibility, that's the way to do it"
:good:
thanks man download now:highfive:
Uninstalled substratum before install, works great (for me gmail has round icon)
Is it normal that google traduction hasn't the round icone ?
Also icons of other apps that are usually round such as xda labs and adaway are not changing either. No big deal but thought I'd mention it.
Also would appreciate it if someone could upload pixel.apk from the vendor.img. I have no way of extracting it.
Does it have navbar tuner? It's been missing since dp3. That's one feature I need most.
Thanks for your hard work though. ?
For some reason the option to change icon shape does not show to me. All icons are round.
UPDATE
Enabling System UI tuner and developer mode did the trick!

Try this one

Use that app and set the static colour to black
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axndx.prithvee.pixelnavbar
Then use this app and get the buttons placed correctly.
This isn't perfect and sometimes the nav bar has a mind if it's own but works in most apps
It also has the pixel animations
Also the nav bar has the be locked in the "up" position
Also I'm using cornify free in this pic
When I make this and I see duplicate navigation icons (one from the app and the original from the OOS launcher), I try every setting and no luck...

Yeah so u can adjust the buttons in the pixel nav bar app. Make them sighly smaller than the oos ones. For me the oxygen os ones are the "outline" and the pixel ones fill in the space.
See this pic. The light gray is oos
My settings
Thanks with moving one over the other it works. But I thinking of rooting my phone not waiting for OOS Oreo update. And make customization a lot easier!

Well I had the animation without root. Still using this guide.
Try to use telegram with Navbar, and see what happens when you use the keyboard and try to attach something to the message
Guys, sorry for the request, I'm not very skilled in the programming but I guess it's easy to create a flashable .zip that substitutes only the icons of the OP5t navbar with those of the Pixel, without animations. Would someone do it? It would be a more elegant solution and without the horrible gray edges that you see using the play store app.

Its actually really easy t get the pixel navbar.
If you use substratum. Just download awesome navbar and press pixel and install. That's it. For nougat it requires root, if ur on oreo beta it does not. (Only adb)

I do not use substratum, I had tried a xposed module that did not work very well, so I had come to the point of wanting a flashable .zip like the old times on Nexus 6p. I will try substratum, thank you very much for the advice!
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.
