I'm running Android P DP2. I can't get the rotate button to appear in the nav bar. I've tried it in GMail, Inbox, Chrome, and several other apps. I've tried it with auto-rotate enabled and disabled. Has anyone found a setting to enable the button in the nav bar?

As far as I know it only appears when auto rotate is disabled. Working fine here. It's a very small button maybe you're just not noticing it.

I've tapped all along the nav bar and nothing activates, so even if it was invisible for some reason, I should have hit it, but saw no activity or touch indication until I get to the back triangle or home button...

It only stays on the navbar for around 2 seconds then disappears. It is noticeable as it has a small animation. Don't know why it shouldn't show on yours. Have you tried rebooting the phone & trying again.

Several times.
I am also facing the same issue on my Pixel 2 XL, using the official Android 9.0 stable build.
Just curious, did you modify your nav bar in any way before updating to the developmental build? Because I did (swapped my Back and Recent buttons), and I am not sure if that was the cause.
Changing nav bar buttons order with Android Pie
With Android Pie a new contextual button appeared in the navigation bar. If you swap buttons without mentioning this new one it will disappear. In order to save it you should issue something like this:
adb shell 'settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space[0.74],recent;home;back,contextual[0.48]"'
What in square brackets fine tunes the position of recent and back buttons (values above seem nice to me for Xiaomi A2 lite).
Reset to default would be by means of
adb shell 'settings put secure sysui_nav_bar ""'

There has to be a way to hide the status bar. obviously in numerous diff launchers, there is the option to swipe up or down to hide/bring back your noti bar. the noti bar lies within the systemUI.apk (or so i can tell via switching themes). anyone know how to edit the xml that allows for hiding the noti bar? it looks sick when i adb push the systemui.apk and it dissappears. Help!
the statusbar has the home, back, menu keys built in; its probably a bad idea to hide it
I was thinking about this also. It would be nice for apps to go true fullscreen and overlap the status bar. Maybe its an app issue but Remote RDP Lite makes it awkard as when I set the resolution to 1280x800 the bottom part actually gets covered by the status bar.
I suppose I can set it to be like 1280x750 or something...

I'd like the option to hide it whenever.

this would likely require use of a hardware button, since I dont think android CAN support gestures that work over all apps, and I cant think of any other input method you could use
edit: wouldnt be a bad use of the power button since the battery is good enough without it needing to sleep and the lockscreen is sort of pointless because its not in your pocket. Maybe a popup menu on the power button like on phones?
I'd like the ability to move the status bar to the top. This would make it easier to access when I'm holding it with my left hand and resting it on my legs. Right now, if I move my left hand to hit back or home, I then need to grab my xoom with my right hand to keep it steady.
One option would be to use the up down volume keys to move the status bar up or down. Volume could be handled more easily from the notification tray, it isn't as necessary as on a phone to have an alway accessible volume button.
Hello Everyone,
I don't know if I am missing something, but since the button on the Blu Pure XL do not light up... I wanted to add the bottom navigation bar with the back home and switch button but I can't!
I have installed Google Now Launcher... Nothing.
I have Nova Premium... Nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thank You
My buttons never light up even if I use another launcher .. if I hold the phone a certain way in the light - i can see them. But I have a general idea where they are so I just press the general area. Most times I hit it .. sometimes it takes a couple of taps.

I am aware that the buttons do not light up... i am trying to add the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen (on screen, software), so I would not have to worry about the hardware buttons.

I have just done this so it is confirmed working. First off you need to be rooted and have busybox installed. And if you are rooted you have twrp installed so I would recommend doing a backup. Anyway download a app called soft buttons from the play store. Open the app, open menu go down to capacitive keys menu open that and click on disable capacitive keys. Once all the permissions stuff stops popping up on the screen open menu and click on virtual keys menu then click on enable virtual keys. Wait till all the permissions stop popping up on the screen then reboot your phone. Once your rebooted you will have virtual menu buttons and your regular capacitive keys will be disabled so you don't hit them on accident.
There are also options to reverse the process a far as re enabling capacitive keys and disabling virtual keys as I have decided to do because I'd rather have the 1/4 inch or whatever of screen that it takes up.
Anyone?
What?

With the new update you get a new button on your nav bar. A small white dot - bottom left. Press it and you get immersive mode i.e. no more nav bar. However, i would rather use that button for something else.

I don't think I have that option
As most new users. I keep hitting the home button. I'm using SwiftKey. I tried the other two keyboard too.
I've tried turning on auto hide nav bar - but the keyboard is the only app that DOESN'T work with it.
I thought I could just disable one click home... No such option.
Installed gravity box - also no option.
Even if i could just move home left or right 1cm of be happy.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Edit :spelling
I have this problem too... Caused from writing too fast :laugh::laugh:

TBH, I used to be like that too. Had even slaved multiple functions to long presses of the Nav bar buttons. I was a hardcore NavBar-ist
Then I switched to gestures, and after swearing loudly - multiple times + continuously - while acclimatising to the entire idea, now that I'm used to it I really can't think of using any phones with Nav Bars any more.
Plus you get the bonus of NEVER getting NavBar Burn-In.
(And, TBH, I'm actually finding that the OP6 way of doing it a bit more intuitive then the Pie "pill" gestures, but eyyy that's probably just me)
ROOT option
ROOT - exposed - and "Custom Navigation Bar" module. which will let you do what ever the **** you want with navbar, including layout of buttons, and their possition
Since I updated to 13, when I enter the recent screen, if I press the three dots in the top right, Recents just crashes. If I do it again and again, I get message saying
"OneUI keeps stopping"
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance.

I have the same problem, but in my case it happens 2-3 times per day.
Did you use, or used HEX Theme?
I am using HEXED Theme and suspecting that it is why this issue happening.
And for me it only happens when the device is in landscape position.
For me, the OneUI Launcher crashes immediately when I turn the Phone into landscape mode and im on a launcher window. The same happens in the recent apps window, when I try to access it from an other app (in landscape mode), it wont open and the gestures also stop working. This persists, untill I turn the phone back into the "normal" Position.
These Problems are since OneUI 5 Beta 1, i'm using HEX, but nothing changes with the default Theme applied.
It's hex related, just wait for devs to fix that issue

No Hexed Theme. Just stock. Recents works. Only when I tap the three dot menu does it crash.
