Accessibility icon - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello, how can I disable the accessibility icon in the button bar ?

Maybe it's impossible

Same issue here. I had it activated for something to do with FFBE on my other phone and it carried over to my OnePlus. Unfortunately, there is no option to disable or enable it, they've seemingly only added "triple tap to zoom" and hidden the icon zoom.

Sorry to hear that...it's quite annoying for me because this button use the right place of the back button of my old OP3 !
I tried the navigation gestures ans it's no no no...
Cheers

Disable the android Accessibility suite. Search for it in your settings, disable the app and it should go away.

Missing edit option in quick settings

I'm already assuming that it's totally my fault for not finding where to enable this, but I'm at a loss as to how to make the edit option show up in the bottom right corner of the expanded quick settings pane, to add and reorder the tiles therein.
I already enabled System UI tuner by long pressing the settings icon... now what?
On a Pixel running Android 7.1
I'd post a screenshot, but my newbieness doesn't allow external links :\
Cheers!

Click on the pencil once the quick settings are expanded.

I've got no "pencil" either! Now what?

Did you long press the settings icon in the Quick Settings panel to enable system tuner?

[Discontinued] [OFFICIAL XDA] Navigation Gestures - Get iPhone X/OnePlus style gesture control

Jealous of the cool new gesture navigation feature on the Apple iPhone X, Android P, or OnePlus 5T/OnePlus 6? With Navigation Gestures, you don't have to go out and buy a new phone if you want to change the way you use your phone. This app brings gesture navigation to any Android device!
Best of all, with Navigation Gestures you can completely hide the stock navigation bar without root! This is the only gesture control app with this feature.
Swipe left, right, up, or down. Swipe up and hold. Tap. Double tap. Long press. There's a lot of ways you can interact with the gesture bar to control your phone. Don’t like how the gesture bar looks? You can customize its appearance! Here’s what you can do:
Gestures
Taps
Single tap
Double tap
Tap and hold (long press)
Swipes
Swipe up and hold
Swipe left

* Media actions are not guaranteed to work with every app. Media actions use standard Android APIs to work with most apps.
** If you notice that an app is "slow" to launch after using the pill to trigger the home button, that's because of an obscure change made all the way back in Android 4.4 KitKat. Unless you have this Xposed Module or a custom ROM installed with the patch, there's no way around it.
***Lock Screen is compatible with the vast majority of devices. How it works is like this: Makes screen brightness and display timeout minimum and then displays a fullscreen black activity until the phone actually enters sleep mode from the timeout (~5 seconds.) There are other ways to lock the screen but we decided against them, at least for this release.
****Screenshot action uses the MediaProjection API, which is normally used to record the screen. Here, we just record the screen for a single frame. This is the only way pre-Android P for it to work. Screenshots are saved to /Pictures/NavigationGestures

Frequently Asked Questions
Help, I uninstalled the app and I can't access my navigation bar anymore!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell wm overscan reset
Help, I uninstalled the app and the original navigation bar keeps hiding itself!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings delete global policy_control
Can we add a feature where the pill is in its own separate area so it doesn't overlap with certain UI elements?
No, sorry. We are already pushing the screen content down to hide the nav bar. Adding this feature would require us to push the screen content up as well. We can’t have it both ways.
There's a "white line" at the bottom of the screen!
This is NOT a bug. This is a side-effect of a change we intentionally made after version 1.0.0 because without it, many Samsung, Motorola, and Xiaomi devices were reporting major bugs (eg. black screen after unlocking which made the phone unusable.) The “white line” is caused by the navigation bar being hidden 99.99% but not 100% (ie. we hiding the navigation bar entirely except for 1 pixel.) So the “white line” is actually just your navigation bar that’s colored white. We added an Experimental Setting called "Use Full Overscan" which gets rid of the white line. Use it at your own risk.
Pill doesn't work with Samsung DeX/Samsung Good Lock!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. You can use the blacklist function in Behavior settings to make the original nav bar show in these apps.
Pill doesn't show when you open the camera from the lock screen, answer a call from the lock screen, or open a notification for quick reply from the lock screen!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. This also includes calls, apps, or notifications answered from the lock screen. The pill cannot be shown until you unlock the device.
Pill doesn't show in Facebook Messenger, Drupe, or other floating apps!
Go to Experimental Settings and select the "Keep Pill Shown in other Overlay Apps." Pick Messenger, Drupe, etc. in this list.
Pill doesn’t work with screen pinning.
We have no way of simulating a long press on the back button without root. A tentative solution we are looking into is detecting when the phone enters a pinned screen state and disabling the pill to bring back the stock nav bar.
Home action doesn't work on the OnePlus 5!
OxygenOS prevents the app from performing the home action if you both enable the software navigation bar and disable the "always enable home button" option in Button settings. To fix this, please enable the "always enable home button" option.
Pill keeps "jumping" up and down with the navigation bar!
This means you either enabled Immersive Mode manually (ie. not from the app) or another app triggered Immersive Mode which is interfering with our app. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
Nova Launcher: In the "Notification Bar" section under "Look & Feel," there may be a "Hide Navigation Bar" option. If there is, check to make sure that it is disabled.
LG G6/LG V20/LG V30/LG G7 ThinQ: Go to*Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and disable the "lock/hide icon" option up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Samsung Galaxy S8/Samsung Galaxy Note 8/Samsung Galaxy S9: Go to*Settings > Display > Nav Bar > Show and Hide Button and turn off the toggle up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Feature requests
Is it possible to keep the pill in the same spot when rotating the screen?
We will be adding this as a feature in a future release.
Can we add an action to launch a shortcut/activity?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add Tasker integration?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add a swipe down and hold gesture?
Yes, that is on our todo list.

Is there improvements in performance or anything while rooted?

There's no difference with running this on a rooted device right now except it'll make setup easier (you don't need to use your PC for set up if you're rooted.)
In a future release we may allow for shortcuts/intents to be sent so you can customize the action to your heart's content (and potentially use root to do more actions.)
Also, if there's enough demand we may use input KeyEvent commands to inject button presses rather than the Accessibility API. This should give better performance but it requires root. It's not something we've implemented yet though.

Well, for me is no big deal. But for others, running ADB could be. I don't think it's right to not be able to skip that permission, since, you can(almost) disable completely the taskbar..
when the typing, pill is up-on the keyboard. it must always be in the bottom.
Wow.. cool :good:
@MishaalRahman: APK ?
asking for root permission on Samsung S9 plus SM-965F. without root permission app is not functioning
Great app but after I enabled Navigation Gestures. My icons/screen move to the right side. I'm using S9+ . Please advise.

You can ignore the root prompt and follow the instructions to grant the permission manually by ADB.

That is very strange. This seems to only be happening on Samsung phones. We asked Max Weinbach who has an S9 to test it and he never had this issue. We'll have to figure out why that happens.
Thanks for this app, I'm having fun playing with it.
Using it on Oneplus 5t oreo stable 5.1.1 magisk root, all permissions granted, premium addon installed, nova launcher beta.
When I set the vibration to 0ms when I exit that page of settings the vibration gets automatically reset to the default 50ms.
This does not seem to occur on any setting from 1ms upwards. I am interested to see if anyone else can reproduce this behaviour.
The way the pill works with SwiftKey keyboard is interesting, perfectly functional but not an ergonomic location on a longer screen for me.
Edit: ninja'd by the OP, see why you've done it that way with the keyboard now.

I see now. It only happened when doing gesture up on the screen for "All Apps" the only way for me to make it normal again by turn the the screen off and turn it on again.
anyone know how to turn off that system prompt displaying over other applications on notification? kinda annoying...btw using emui 8 oreo 8.1
Working fine on my Xperia Z5 running stock nougat...
Pill on top of the Keyboard is the safest position in my opinion to avoid accidentally pressing it when tapping the space key..
I hope you can introduce more swiping features in your future updates.
Great work.
Edit:
In some games the pill disappears completely leaving no option to exit the game. What I did was to go to settings via control pannel.

Reachability cursor alternative

After updating to android 10 reachability cursor stopped working are there any other alternatives?
Would like to know too.
I have started working on a "replacement" for personal use, perhaps someone else will find it useful. It's really barebones right now with no configuration options at all.
To get the app working, first you'll need to allow "Display over other apps" by going to: Settings -> Apps & notifications -> One Hand Cursor -> Advanced.
After that, enable the app's accessibility service by going to: Settings -> Accessibility -> One Hand Cursor service.
Once this is done, it should be possible to swipe from either the left or right lower edge of the screen to bring the tracker and cursor into the screen.
The source code can be found here.
It doesn't work very well with the new navigation gestures in Android 10.
A great app.

I use it in addition to the Fluid Navigation Gestures app.
I just installed it on my onePlus 6t and allowed Accessibility and Display over other apps. When I open the app, it is stuck on the Home Screen, I suppose, it says "Hello World", a pink play button in the right bottom corner. Could anyone help, please!

You don't have to do anything else than enable display over apps and then accessibility and it just works.
From the sides you can swipe and point anywhere on the screen.
Opening the app is useless.

Ur a genius, using with ROG 2 (Android10-Gesture Nav)
This app made my life so much easier as I have a big phone, maybe some feedback for upgrades if ur open to hearing;
Make cursor able to do gestures like scroll through I web pages eg. (Swipe)
Also being able to access notifications menu would be good, as cursor disappears for me once it passed top area of screen.
& Maybe a colour change for trackpad thinking maybe white or grey sort of classic look.
My Workaround:
(I know it doesn't work the best with gestures Nav enabled but I think I can get the hang of it+back is to swipe L/R but when I use your app I only need tap bottom L/R of my screen to show trackpad) + (I added to my start-up menu on phone)
Many thanks for sharing :good:
I think you made a really good app man, congrats.

Sometimes you have to disable and enable these more than once to make it work.

MiUi 11 New Navigation Button Issue

I Got a New Button on Navigation Bar, After Updating to MiUi 11 Manually. That button/Icon Looks Like a Human Standing With Hands Wide Open, in the bottom right corner.. And i am not able to disable or make it go away from there. There is no option anywhere to do so.

I had the same problem on my Redmi note 7, but solved by the following way: going to accessibility menu --> display --> magnification --> magnification with button -- turn it off. (It's not enough, if only accessibility menu or magnification is turned off, you have to turn off also the "m.w.b" button)

Are u sure ? Then it shouldn't gib
Check accessibility menu --> display --> magnification --> magnification with button -- turn it off.
Alternatively, ditch the Nav buttons altogether and use Gestures instead. Once you've got used to Gestures, you'll never miss those buttons ever again!
From a recent convertee...
I just fixed mine.
For some reason if you go through the normal path, settings > additional settings > accessibility > accessibility menu, and disable it, it doesn't work.
If you use the search function in the settings, 'accessibility menu' is duplicated I don't know why.
https://i.imgur.com/3JWfFbY_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium
You have to disable it in both of them to make the icon go away.

hi bro,
jst go to
accessibility
interaction controls
accessibility menu
switch off
control your device using convenient shortcuts
thats all
Finally after a few months i disable the man like in navigation buttons
Just force stop or uninstall updates the Android Accessibility Suite, and the icon will disappear:fingers-crossed:
I just fixed mine. Try to turn on accessibility mode, and then turn it off again. Then the standing man button disappear. Thank God. Mine is mi max 3 miui 11.
Sulution
Please off Accessibility and inside that menu off select to speak also I have fixed this issue recently
This solved it for me. Thank you.
I know this kinda old thread but I also had this issue. Turns out I also activated Nova (launcher) accessibility shortcut - the lower part - while granted accessibility access to Nova. Even if I disabled the accessibility menu the 'T' man was still there. Bottom line, when granting accessibility tick only the first option. I felt like a complete idiot.

Question WTF is this little stick figure icon on the left/notification side of my status bar? UPDATE, screenshots and found out what it is

Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?
and the screenshot is.................? kinda hard to help if we don't see what it is..
The only icon I can think of that resembles a stick figure is the SMART THINGS icon.

It;s a stick figure, like the stick figure that was coming up on peoples nav bar on 8's and 9's for accessibility settings
it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN THE PINK CIRCLE without the dots under it but its a icon by the clock
When you need a hug. Push this. That makes you more accessible.
here are screeenshots, I got it in action.
It has something to do with one of the apps I enabled in accessibility mode.

If you tap on the icon and bring up that app's notification settings, there may be an option to never notify for accessibility notifications.

Anyway to stop the "check access settings" little guy notification from coming up

It's already set to none. if i enable it i get a floating icon.
And i'm using the the screen HZ app on here (it's the only one, you can find the thread, i think it's galaxy HZ.

Thanks, no clue then. It must be one of the apps, maybe the Galaxy HZ app having access to screen as it shows the stick figure in the notification as well. Check the app in Accessibility settings and try disabling it.
Also, what is the other app with moon and glowing clock? (screenshot attached)..looks cool

Weather neon, TONS of customizations for it, from dozens of widgets of all sizes down to changing colors of every piece individually.
that's just the notification one I liked but there are a ton more, and a big main one with different clocks
it's worth checking out, some stuff is iffy with it tho

Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?

My stickfig has a purpose, I can dim the screen at night or brighten it up. The icon comes up when you slide out the 'stick'. You can park this feature anywhere, to enable go to 'visibility enhancements' >>'extra dim'(screenshot is from S22)
So I'm guessing you can disable your stick figure somewhere there as well.
