I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110), a 10.1 inches wide tablet, and my thumbs are obviously having the worst time trying to reach the on-screen navigation keys. I can't always place the tablet on a table. I would usually be holding it with both of my hands and I can only rely on my thumbs in that situation.
Unless I would let go of the other hand, risking the moderately heavy tablet to fall.
Is there any app or a way to modify the on-screen navigation keys to have a bit further distance or space from each other, just like it was on Stock ROM and on our KitKat ROMs?
Or if it can be moved or positioned to the right or left side of the Navigation Bar?
I think the distance of the on-screen navigation keys for P51XX were modified when we started having the Unified ROMs?
I don't want to use Pie controls yet, if I can still find a way to modify the on-screen navigation keys.
Do I have to edit something in the build.prop?
Edit: I'm using the AICP 12.1 (Nougat 7.1.2) ROM
welp, place your tablet on your arm and grab the tablet top side and you can safely.
Or you can change navigation into fling bar so you can use gestures on navigation.
@StalkerUnderTheBed
Good point! I've tried Custom Navigation Bar but it's incompatible with your rom.
You'll need to use custom roms that doesn't use Smartbar and is on Nougat+ like LineageOS 14.1.
Also as an extra, this thread.

Thanks! Yep, it didn't work on this ROM. So "build.prop" is the correct place to edit and move these?
I don't have the knowledge for that, but I'll try to manage somehow.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the soft keys to be hidden and pop up when you for example swipe up from the bottom of your screen kind of like the Pie Controls?
That would be amazing.

Well you can get Pie controls (slightly different from PA... less features but more customizable) by downloading LMT. It's a sweet app that is incredibly stable. That said, you need to find another way to hid your softkeys (like editing your framework-res) unless you want to have softkeys and pie at the same time.

Yes but I mean like a theme for LMT that makes the keys flat to the bottom instead of Pie style

I own an Opo but I don't know what pie control is, so if you explain it to me I can have a look.
I tell you, buying pie pro is probably one of the best purchases I made ever!
Consider it if that is a deal breaker for you
i think they got rid of it for immersive mode everywhere when expanded desktop is enabled. basically enable expanded desktop, then slide your finger in from the bottom of the screen, and for a few seconds youll see a semi transparent nav bar which will auto hide.
Hi,
I modified existing navbar enabler to make compatible with LineageOS and make capacitive button disable.
Just use Magisk to install it.

Because it is supposed to have the on screen nav bar in the first place. Also, the back and app switch buttons on the soft keys are placed incorrect. I find it hard to use the soft keys because I am used to the original placement of the buttons which is back on the left and app switch on the right.
Does this module works with stock Oreo (Feb security patch) ?
the dev has added support to enable navbar from settings itself, with customization.
Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to hide three button navigation bar on my 8t to use a third party gesture app.
I have root and i did try Magisk Hide Props config method by changing qemu.hw.mainkeys from 0 to 1, but nothing changed. Even after reboot the value stayed at 1, but still have the nav bar..
As far as I know, they changed something in android 11 which makes that impossible.
I tried the same with fluid n.g but it did not work
There a way to do it with adb. Haven't tested on 11 yet

Yes even the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 mod on the build.prop doesn't work on OnePlus 8T, I have no idea why. I used MagiskHide Props module.

Theoretically root (above method) should work, it works on Pixel phones, but currently still not working on OnePlus 8T.
Don't see the problem why they removed that feature. I would gladly use the gestures on Oneplus, but the problem is that it's blocking some features on different apps where I have to press something down in the corners. I think it's because of the google assistant feature.
Why not use the stock gestures?

This doesn't mean "removing" the navbar, what you shown is changing the navigation more from navbar to navigation gestures. What people are talking here is to remove the navbar while in navbar mode, so that they can use third party navigation gestures app.
If you ask why, they (and myself too) doesn't like OnePlus' navigation gestures for certain reasons. Personally, I much prefer the old OnePlus 6 style which is swipe up from bottom left/right for "back" action.

Aka android 9 version. Android 9 also had the two button gesture option. Android 10 introduced this version of it and has been further optimized in Android 11.
Of course this is all stock android versions. Some OEM's modified it like samsung for example. Oneplus isn't responsible for this style as its stock android gesture nav. Maybe in the future oneplus will make there own but there goal is to make OOS as close to aosp as possible while still adding some built-in customization.

Yeah I don't blame OnePlus for this, and it is Google that removed android's ADB overscan feature to hide navigation bar as well. I just hoped that the root method works in OnePlus (the build.prop edit) because it works well on Pixel phones.
I am using Oneplus's gestures + Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures Magisk module, this gives me almost truly fullscreen experience. I hated the arrow key on the bottom left of the keyboard. So this solves the problem for me. Just thought I'd pitch in.

Even though u remove the bottom bar, some apps still consider the empty space there. Check keyboard for example. There is some space and a useless hide arrow on bottom left. I believe OP is looking for a solution to remove that as well(which older versions used to support using overscan). I was looking for a solution to this as well.

You still don't understand, we don't only want to hide that bar, we also want to totally disable the stock gesture so that we can REPLACE with other third party gesture app. On Android 11 the method is to use the 3-button navigation bar AND disable it, so that we can use another third party gesture like Fluid Navigation without the stock one interfering.
If you still don't understand please do not insist you do.
The only person who doesn't understand is you.

Longtime xda user but have been out of the modding scene for many many years now, so forgive me if my question is stupid. Just got the P7P and put magisk etc on it. I don't like gesture navigation, and I am surprised that google doesn't allow nav bar button customization, which is something that has existed on various android implementations for as long as android has been around. Is there a magisk module that can do this on the latest 12/22 firmware? All google search results return with very old posts, and at this time I don't know how to recover from a bootloop if I do take a chance on flashing something.
Something that I had personally suggest is the Navigation Bar (9.0 +) module for Magisk, you can find it on Github.
Here's a link: Navigation Bar (9.0+)
There are many more methods but you can mention me anytime if this doesn't works.

Check out AOSP mod. It allows configuration for the nav buttons. It is a good replacement for Gravitybox.
After years of 3 button nav, I switched to gestures. It took a few days to get used to it. Now it is built into my flabby muscle memory.

Using Gestures, love it. Was a hardcore Navbar user.
Don't seem to have any issue with gestures and side panels.
Any specific app you are referring to?
I am using viber, skytube, k-9 mail, nextcloud, Mixplorer. Just to mention a few where I constantly use side panels and weird stuff happens when trying to open it due to the functional overlap

Thought this module would allow me to customize the navigation bar. Like change the navigation bar icons to look like Samsung or Xperia or Nexus. Was i wrong ? Is there a more suitable module for this ?
