Dark Navigation Bar - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

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.

Yes, most of the time. When typing in fb messenger, it struggles often.

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.

This is on Oxygen 9.0.2

Just to be clear, why would you rather have a status bar with no status icons instead of simply no status bar at all?

Personal preference. I want a change.I like immersive mode with pie.It's just not what I want to be honest.I would like it empty and to use a widget to relay the info that would show up.(I.e WiFi signal carrier signal clock )

Sorry, I get the "clean look" idea. I just don't understand what the difference is to you to have a clean status bar vs no status bar... I don't see why you would want the former not the latter. Or would completely hiding the status bar be an option too?

I would "hide it".I've never really been a widget person,so I'd like to try something new and use a widget to give me all the info normally displayed in the status bar,but I don't want to use something that takes away the keys I added and colored. Any thoughts?

Widget is only good if you're in the launcher. What about in apps? Some custom laucnhers can hide status bar when you're in launcher (homescreen etc) but then not when in apps. How would that suit?

I'm one of the small niche groups that actually really G.N.L.I like the functionality of swiping to my left for my cards.I think I had a ROM on my gnex that I was able to hide icons than make status bar transparent.I'll check out a few custom ROMs and see what I can come up with.If not I'll make my own build to suit my needs.won't be the 1st time...thanks for the feed back I was just looking for the cheap way out.

Use the xposed module gravity box. And use the display setting called immersive status bar. It'll hide the status bar while keeping your navigation bar. You can keep your colored nav keys, not see the status bar, and you won't have to use pie. If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what you want?

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.

(Guide) Navigation Bar keyboard color

I've had the phone for one day and it's a sexy phone. However I was encountering an annoyance with the navigation bar (the bottom strip with the home button and back button.) There is an option to change the navigation bar background color (settings > display > navigation bar > background color) but the issue is that it only applies when the keyboard is not present. I set my color to black, but everytime I would send a text or type anything the bottom navigation bar would switch to default white. I like my dark theme and this was a YUGE issue for me, but some people may enjoy the contrast or be fine with white.
The fix I found is a program called "NavBar Apps"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
It works without root (which is not yet possible) and allows a user to set a static color for the navigation bar, plus other options like battery or dynamic nav bar color from current application. I don't use these features as I enjoy my solid black, but they are interesting to try.
In my opinion static color for the nav bar is the best as I strongly dislike the changing of solid colors between open and closed keyboard.
Hopefully this is helpful, peace

Great! Thanks! Anything we can do about notifications background being white even if I have a black theme?

Make an exception in your app killers
Thank you so much! I realized, however, that the app does need to be running in the background for the color fix to work. Which is fine as long as my nav bar matches my black keyboard
Awesome, it works perfectly!
That's all well and good, but a reminder: static images burn in on AMOLED screens. Perhaps Sammy set it to change as a preventative measure.
I just got the s8+ and I am wondering if there is a way to make the keyboard larger on the screen. Thanks!

This isn't quite the place to post your question.
However
While the Samsung Keyboard is open, press the key that looks like a gear, and select "Keyboard size and layout."
Make sure to always thoroughly check app settings!

I'm using SwiftKey. Wonderful app.
Hi, I got my s8+ a couple of days ago and I am using a black theme from Samsung which indeed doesn't theme the nav bar when the keyboard is open.
I am afraid to root it right away and if this works then I am all for it.
Question: themes from the Samsung store only change the color of the built-in apps but not the 3rd party apps like whatsapp.
Even the color of the notifications are still white. Any ideas?

Then just go for black navigation bar. No burn in with shut down pixels.

I was thinking more of the navigation buttons themselves. The image of the keys inverts when the bar is white.

I use All In One Gestures to activate immersive mode. Unfortunately the keyboard (and a few other random things) don't work while in immersive mode, so I set an edge gesture at the bottom of the screen to deactivate it if I need to use the keyboard.
I also set navigation to edge gestures so I don't need to exit immersive mode often.

I think all of this is a lot o hassle. Mine's coming today and I'll try some immersive mode options, but will keep looking for the invisible icons idea as this would change absolutely nothing on my daily use of the device.

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?

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.

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.

Disabling vibrate/silent notification icons

I've just noticed after updating to 5.1.7 (I skipped .6) that I have a vibrate icon in the status bar (I am in vibrate, so this isn't in itself odd). However, I can't seem to find a way to hide it. I checked Settings / Status Bar / Icon Manager, but it isn't listed there.
I am rooted with magisk, and have xposed, if there is a simple workaround that anyone can recommend.
(While I'm posting, I really wish I could move the clock over to the right too.)
Thanks!
Systemui tuner in app store might be able to do that
Thanks, that worked! I toggled off "volume", and it took care of both.
Thanks for helping! There's no "vibration" option in System UI Tuner makes people so confusing...

Oxygen already allows to hide things in the Status Bar, under the Display options, you don't need a third party app On custom ROMs, depends on the build though !

I'm on Hovoc, which supports disabling Status Bar icons long time ago
But no matter using ROM or SystemUITuner to disable icons, the "Vibrate" icon always showed as the name of "Volume", which makes me confusing lmao.
