[Q] Navigation bar has disappeared

I've got my nexus 5 for a couple of months now, and as soon as I've had it I rooted it and installed the xposed framework for modifications. I use gravity box in order to use pie controls and hide my navigation bar but I kinda miss my on-screen buttons but can't seem to find a way to do it.
Extended desktop mode is off.
I've enabled the navigation bar in gravity box for no success, and tried to used the GMD hide soft keys application but that doesn't seem to work as well (either does several other applications)..
Even tried and disabled gravity box but nav bar just won't come back..
Both the Xposed framework and Gravity box are update
.
I am using the american Nexus 5 32gb model with KK 4.4.2.
Would very much appreciate the assistance!

Either disable expanded desktop or toggle immersive mode off

Both are off (wasn't on in the first place)

Well you dont have to enable nav bar. That master switch in your screenshot is actually just for tweaks. So try set Pie to enable = never and leave nav bar tweaks set to off too.

I actually did that right after I saw your post, and reboot, but still nav bar doesn't seem to pop.
I really don't want to do a factory reset and am hoping to avoid it if possible :\

You should uninstall that GMD thing too.
Sure you've not edited SystemUI in any other ways? You're still on Stock ROM?

All apps I've used and didn't work were uninstalled.
I am on stock 4.4.2 ROM and I don't belive i modifies SystemUI in any way knowingly, how can I check if I have?
BTW, I really appreciate the help! Thanks!

You would know if you had.
Go into the Xposed installer app and uninstall the framework (we can reinstall it later - you wont lose any settings) then reboot. This should rule out anything xposed related. If it's still happening its nothing to do with xposed as it doesnt make changes to actual system files.

Nav bar returned!
But now of course I don't have my xposed frameworks and modules
*PROBLEM SOLVED!*
So I got up and reinstalled the xposed module and on and checked each module..
Apparently the 3 dot menu button on every application kept the navigation bar from going up.
Thanks alot rootSU for your help and guidence!

OK so now you know it IS an xposed module. Now you have to work out which one it is by disabling them all then installing the framework. Then enable one at a time (and reboot in between) to work out which one is causing the issue

No probs. Glad its sorted.

What is this 3-dot botton your referring too that solved your problem. I have the same issue and i guess it's the Gravitybox module because everytime i disable it the recent key returns. Im in lollipop as well Stock rom for xperia z3

[MOD] [REQ] - Notifications

I have some feature requests. Can be Xposed modules or flasable zip or w/e if possible.
I'm running totally stock and XPosed on top of it and not able to get just some couple of features which I loved from other ROMs.
- Notification Download speeds : Now, when I download something from playstore, a download notification comes on the top. When I expand that notification, it gives me the current download speeds. This was in purity ROM, if I remember correctly. Any way to get it on stock?
- notification vibration - Now when I expand any notification , it always vibrates the phone. I don't know which ROM/module had this but I would love to get that feature in stock. Any way?
- delete screenshot/video notification option : Now, I remember this was in cataclysm. When I for example do a screen shot of the phone and when I expand the notification containing that screenshot, I used to get 2 options : "Share" and "Delete". In stock rom, I don't get this. Any way to have that?
That's all.

Notifications download speeds: my completely and utterly stock N5 shows download speeds for web downloads (Chrome), but not for play store because notifications are handled by the app and not the OS... Play store will only show percentage and time remaining... I guess this might be injectable with Xposed?
vibration: this already happens for me on completely stock ROM when swiping downwards (or upwards) on notifications to expand or collapse...
Screenshot: I get "share" on completely stock with a screenshot but not delete. Seems like this might be one you're likely to get externally...

Yes, I'm guessing purity has modified playstore then. Vibration part is that I want vibration to not happen, not the other way around. Delete option - can't find it anywhere at XDA. I hope some dev sees this.

I'd be surprised if Purity did modify the play store itself; the modification would be undone every time the play store updates itself... It's more likely they might have modified the notifications or injected something between vending and systemui?
Misunderstood your request for vibrating notifications: "when I expand any notification , it always vibrates the phone"..."I would love to get that feature in stock" :silly:

Probably. I'm sure purity won't give the support for a Xposed module for that. Let's see if this thread get's any attraction from some dev.

Bump, i like these features in a xposed module

Google Pixel: Enabling Battery Percentage

How can I enable the battery percentage on my Pixel?

Swipe the notification tray down.
Then hold the setting button, it looks like a bolt or cog.
Hold it for a few seconds the let go.
You'll see system tuner pop up in setting menu.
Tap that and go to status bar and it'll be at the bottom.
Good luck!

That requires a modification. If you care to and are rooted, flash this via Twrp. Select the very last option first (base). Hit finish, on next screen select check box at the top and hit finish again. This time select either percent with battery icon or without. Hit finish and finish again. Always make a backup first.
There are other mods in the theme section that will get you there too.

Might help to install busybox into system first
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767132025
Edit: I might have misunderstood. The systemui tuner method will give percent inside the battery. The mod method gives you percentage beside or instead of the battery icon.

Thanks. I may root it soon.

i have no mods and battery percentage...its an option in setting like the first reply suggested

Why is is inconvenient? Perhaps you misunderstood? Pull down the notification area, press and hold the settings icon until you see a message that says system tuner has been enabled (or some such thing). Then go into settnigs, scroll to the bottom and you'll see system tuner there. Touch it and enable the battery percentage there. It puts the percentage in the battery icon in the status bar. Only has to be done once.

Hey I just came over from Sprint and got the Pixel. I am 100% stock unrooted and long pressing the settings icon does nothing. I have even found a YouTube video showing this method and it simply doesn't work. I am on the latest February patch, could this patch have changed this and it's no longer available? Not knowing the percentage on the fly kinda sucks.

It should still work but I've heard stories of some people both on Nexus 5X and Pixel having difficulties getting it activated.

must have apps for unrooted ?

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!

@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner

Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui

Third Party SystemUI Tuner Not Changing Settings on LG X Venture?

Hello, I recently purchased a new LG X Venture, running android 7.0. I was very annoyed that it can't go into do not disturb mode from pressing the volume button down, so I looked into it, and discovered SystemUI Tuner, a feature that supposedly can enable/disable this feature. Unfortunately, SystemUI Tuner is also apparently disabled by default (thanks LG), so I downloaded the third party recreation of SystemUI Tuner from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner&hl=en_US). My phone is not rooted, so I had to enable the permissions the app needs with adb. I followed the instructions on the app and also here (https://www.howtogeek.com/318539/how-to-get-androids-system-ui-tuner-on-non-stock-devices/) to get adb working with my phone and windows 7 computer. Eventually, everything seemed to work, and I typed in the three adb permission lines while connected over adb. I didn't get any output from any of the lines, but no errors either, so I would guess they worked. I then proceeded in the app, and started playing around with the settings. Among other things, I disabled a lot of icons in the phone status bar (as well as enabling auto detect), enabled extreme night mode, and enabled "DND Switch in Vol Slider".
The night mode definitely changed the tint of my screen, as soon as I clicked it. But the other two settings don't seem to have changed anything, even after a restart. My taskbar is still the same, with icons that I tried to hide still there. And most importantly, the volume button still doesn't put the phone into DnD mode. I hold it down until the phone is on vibrate, then I click it down again, and nothing happens. I can enable DnD mode from the taskbar, but then I can't exit it either from the volume keys.
Any idea what might be wrong? I am very determined to correct this.
