Change / Reduce Navbar Height - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hi
I'm rooted and I've wasted almost a whole day just to figure out a way to change the height of navbar with root but couldn't find any! I found one post answer were he used substratum but didn't work for me! ppl don't root their phone anymore I guess! didn't expect the lack of mods for this! is there a way to change it by editing a value or something like that? this is extremely frustrating!

((((crying:

I looked into this a few weeks ago but I couldn't find anything. I'm using the pie gestures navbar and I thought it would be cool if you could make it half height.
All the navbar apps on the play store hide the stock navbar and add a new customized navbar with buttons. The XDA app Navigation Gestures was pretty cool but it doesn't have the same animations as the Pie navbar.
I just found this Tulsadiver mod. It might be worth a try.

[Q] How can I hide the status bar like in immersive, but not the navbar?

Hello,
The question says it all...
I would like to have the status bar hidden like in immersive, but I would love to use my navbar in a normal way(so not having to swipe up) with an immersive status bar.
Does amyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance!

I used an app in KK which worked nicely, Called Full screen or Hide something... can't recall exactly any longer. It was tied to Xposed, so it is likely in the module library. So far, with Oxygen I have not got around to searching this but I am using Apex.

Agreed--check xposed suppository.

Pixel navigation bar (buttons)

So I've seen some themes here with the pixel navigation bar. I don't really need all the customizations but just looking at a way to only get the pixel navigation bar (the filled in buttons).

How do people deal with the latest update for the S8(+)???

Hello!
So, I have a hard time believing I'm the only one who hate the last update from for the S8, which basically removes the option for a black Navbar, and transparent navbar on the home screen when using 3rd party launchers like Nova.
I've seen many people not minding, but as for my self I am beyond hating it atm.. I can't be the only one?
How to you people get around this? For me personally hiding the navbar is so annoying.. So not an option?
And Navbar Apps doens't work all the time?
I'm not sure if there is something you can do with substratum?
Please?

Just one point,
I am using Nova Prime and my home screen
is transparent (not hidden) Everywhere
on phone dialer , settings etc. it's transparent not hidden.
Your post refers to
"removes the option for a black Navbar, and transparent navbar on the home screen when using 3rd party launchers like Nova."
Yes, when I'm on Play store, XDA etc it's
white.
Look at my photos.

Hmm, I've just seen so many say that when using Nova their navbar is not transparent on the homescreen..
But that is great then.
As for the photos you attached, the navbar is black on both, how did you do that?

That is because Samsung is rolling the update to a certain amount of people at a time, you will get it eventually. And I can hide mine as well with Custom Navigation Bar, but I DON'T want it hidden.

I like it. Having the nav bar hidden while in apps is pretty cool. When my preceding phone had a pink tint I used the black nav bar for a while and it annoyed me because it visually chopped up the display. Different strokes I guess.

No,
navbar is not black, it's transparent.
The Samsung theme i use on device is
dark. Thus navbar looks black.
Look at my navbar configuration. (screenshots)
I choose an off white color. Then applied theme.
So on device (dialer, setting, homescreen etc)
it's transparent (when not hidden).
When i am on Play store, XDA etc it's the off white color.

Yes, it white, off white, pinkish , off pinkish etc.
Those colors you see is all you get.!
I'm sure Samsung had a good reason for this?
However on my device the off white is
only applied to other 3rd party apps. (off white)
Thus as stated before my device in general
is transparent. With dark Samsung theme it looks
black.
Plse note,
Just after O/S update, it showed originally all
over off white.
However after fiddling with
configuration and different color options,
Toggling navbar on off etc .
i found myself with transparent navbar.
Nb.
Your have to tap switch theme afterwards
If you don't then you navbar is off white in settings, etc

The way i see it.
You either accept it and get use to it. Move on
or stay behind.? (O/s wise.)
I'm sure Samsung will change it later again.
For me, It does not worry me at all.
As long as my desktop navbar color
fits my wallpaper /theme.. I'm ok with it
Good luck

I agree with you. And I guess I will eventually have to take the update, atm I'm trying to get used to hiding the navbar..
But you said that on the homescreen (EVEN with nova launcher) it would be transparent right?

Yes, if you set it right in device /settings /display /navigation bar /.....
Choose/select ...color option and then tap the "apply current theme " switch .
You should have transparent navbar ( not hidden ) on homescreen /settings /dialer
Otherwise if you only select color and back out you will have white navbar etc on
device settings , dialer etc .
Note that on all 3rd party apps, its your selected white navbar .
According to me it's not such an big issues( navbar ) as some members make out to be .
good luck

Im not sure about this, so dont take my word for it. But something tells me that you can change the navigation bar with the System UI Tuner.
Keep me up to date about this matter!
Have a nice day sir,

Get substratum working first.
You'll need one of the many navigation bar themes to change the icons.
As for that animation, you'll need a lot more work (custom ROM, or flashable ,zip at the least)

Substratum is one thing, but how to change the placement of the buttons so they are just like on a Pixel instead of the ugly narrow Huawei-like ones?

I know the nav bar tuners you can add a blank button that takes up space. Straddle the home button with a pair of those and it would probably look better
I had Pixel navbar icons with proper animation done just through substratum on my stock non-rooted S8, so it should be possible to do here too. No need for custom rom or anything
I don't think you can get the home animation (the one with four dots) without a custom rom, but you can try custom navigation bar on play store, it works with and without root

Thanks for ur answers.
I'm planning to root the device once I can clean flash oos beta which will be the setup I plan to use

Navigation bar size

Hi, is there any no-root method to decrease navigation bar height on Note 10 running Android 9?
On my Note 8 I had some Substratum overlay that reduced navbar height to half of what's it's by default.
Haven't found any similar way of doing the same on my Note 10. Substratum themes works through Synergy, but is there any app out there to reduce navigation bar size? Thanks in advance!

You can use quick settings to get rid of navigation and or status bar and enable immersive mode. Using on T-Mobile Note 10 Plus with no issues.

Thank you but I'm not looking for any swipe options, there is one built in setting for that. I'd just like to have navigation bar visible all time, but the size could be decreased to half (or a slightly bigger than half) from default.
To answer to myself, on Android 10 this can be done by Hex Installer. Also themeing seems to work.

Hi
I'm also using hex installer to change the navbar height but I would like to go back to synergy+subs lite because it can theme more apps
Do you know of any themes or mods compatible with subs lite that can accomplish that without root?
