I'm using Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 and I have a problem with the navigation bar, When I hide it and use it with Full screen gestures, I use the keys of the keyboard last row, while pressing the keys at the same time with gestures hints, it does not release up. Other touches at the same time with gestures are similar. Do not know if other people use this phone with the same problem as me? Hope to find some feedback. Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
I hope that I have understand correctly your problem but for me works properly?
I have hide mine permanently and use it with these settings.

As for keyboard I`m using Swiftkey keyboard.
I have also hid my statusbar as I don`t need it for max screen estate with the Immersive app.
I experience the same thing in Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. If i completly hide the navigation bar and use full screen gesture, I experience this bug:
In the last row, when i hit an option or an icon, it holds down without release. For example in youtube landscape i hit the quality otion and it dosen't open i have to hit it twice or three times.
Maybe in the Android 9 Pie update samsung will fix this. It is normal to experience this bug because it's the first phone that has this option.
Also, is it because i use Nova Launcher? I never used stock launchers on phones because they look so ugly.
In Nova i can costumize Icon size, dock size, rename apps in menu and Home screen, change how many rows of icons and etc.
I also use Nova Launcher Prime but I don`t experience any problems.
Also forgot to say that when commenting in youtube the text is under the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

I'm having the same issue.... At first I thought it was the keyboard so I tried several and had the same issue.

Idem, and Instagram this problem
A new update came out 1st February 2019. 397mb. It improved the touchscreen and fixed the hidden navigation bar, no more bugs at the bottom of the screen. But the text under the keyboard is still there. Maybe in android 9 One more month...
I have the problem in Instagram where the text box is hidden behind the keyboard

Version 3.0 has been released! It includes a smaller widget (1×1) that was requested by users as well as the ability to restore the status bar when the screen turns off. The latter feature allows the widget to be used by more devices that do not have hardware keys.
Along with version 3.0 I have also released a donate version. This version is exactly the same as the free version but costs one dollar for those who feel generous!
You can download it on the android market place by clicking Here for free and Here for donate
Leave any feedback you have and ill try to address your problems/suggestions!

Any chance for a 1x1 button? My homescreen real estate comes at a premium.
Any chance on a way to bring the bar back through hard buttons? I got stuck in netflix and was unable to get out of the app until I restarted the device. Perhaps 1.pressing up/down volume at the same time 2.have it automatically come back after coming out of standby 3. come back with a push of the center button...

Hey guys I have just released V2.0 of Honey Hide Widget. Thought I would post it here considering the Thinkpad has hardware buttons.
Description:
Honey Hide Widget is a simplistic widget that allows you to hide the system bar so you can gain that extra screen real estate. It is intended to be used on a device with hardware keys enabled. Requires Honey Comb and Root Access!

Ill look into it thanks for the recommendations!
There is also a border that auto colors itself. It would be great if it was the same color as the widget, or had no border at all. Thanks. Great widget!
Thank you for this litte widget! Works perfectly on my TPT and I'm no longer pressing any status bar buttons when writing in Quill or Notes Mobile.
The Widget has been updated to V3.0 hope you guys like it! The OP has been updated
I just recently bought Nexus5. it is my first experience with a 5 inch 16:9 phone and I am a bit frustrated about how difficult it is to do certain things when using the phone with one hand. I am left handed so some things are even more difficult for me than right handed people.
For example:
- pulling down the notifications from the top is very hard.
- reaching for the top right corner is even more difficult for me. Most programs have important buttons in the top right corner.
- right edge is also difficult for me
Galaxy S5 has a one-handed mode and Iphone6 and 6 plus seems to get it too.
- Does there exists an option in Cyanogenmod to shrink the UI to the lower corner in similar manner than in Galaxy S5...? Or is there any other good solutions.
- Does there exist somehow a way to forge a program to put important UI elements to lower edge instead of upper edge
- Does there exist a way to "mirror" the position of UI elements so that they would be more accessible for left handed people..?
Any other solutions for making the phone easier to use with one hand or for left hander are all welcome.
I saw an xposed module for one handed, but I have not used it.
Yeah, there are some Xposed modules that can do one-handed mode. I'm pretty much ambidextrous and have no issue with using my left hand, and my hands are by no means large.
LMT pie has a pointer system for one handed operation if you enable it. There are some apps on Google play store too, don't know what they are like though.
One thing I do to sort this is using nova launcher's gestures.
One swipe down on any of my home screens and it drops the notification shade. One swipe up and it gets me to the quick settings page. It's pretty useful.

I use one handed mode xposed module. Pretty handy ton get to refresh and menu buttons in apps

It only does the activity window (app) not status bar but loads of ways to trigger status bar drop.

Hey. When using edge screen, icons simply won't change in "Apps edge" after applying any of the icon packs. I am using Nova Launcher. Any solution to that?
I believe the edge screen icons are dependent on Samsung's own themes which you download from the Samsung Theme Store. Remember, applying a icon pack to 3rd party launchers only work with that launcher. Samsung themes however are system wide.
I wish I could change the icons in the edge screen, too, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that. Maybe you could convince your favorite icon pack developer to create a Galaxy Theme that includes the icons.
Use glovebox from playstore instead. You can choose the icon to your liking plus add all kinds of useful shortcuts like direct call and so on. I use Samsung edge functionality on the upper part of the Edge for weather for example and glovebox on the lower right side for multi tasking mainly. Perfect combo.

I use xposed module StopSwitchDelay to get rid of the 5 sec delay for opening apps from third party apps like glovebox after having pressed the home button. Also I put transparent icons ( you might aswell use spaceholders available in configurations) in the upper part of the screen as they are not easy to reach with one hand. For me this setup is much better for one handed multitasking. I find it kind of difficult to reach the recents button with one hand without risking to drop the phone
P.s. It even works on the lockscreen
Ok, so this is what Nova Launcher crew mailed me:
"That's something that we don't support mainly because Samsung doesn't have an API for us to use to be able to accomplish that."
"That's just probably something we'll never support, or at least not in the near future."
I was under the impression they were releasing the code to allow 3rd party developers to create own panels. Think they mentioned this at launch.
Title explains it. Is there a way to remap the phone icon on the stock TW Launcher so it will launch the Google dialer app instead of the stock phone app?
Doubtful, but if ya wanna try and a really great full screen launcher give Total Launcher a try, I'm 100% Certain you could remake the left and right shortcut keys in it with the home page indicator too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher2&hl=en
I've been using Total Launcher for around 2 or 3 months now and haven't looked back at the TW Launcher
My home screens soft key row

I'm using MRU (Most recently used widget) with 5 rows and 7 coulmns
As you can see, you could set up that bottom row on every single home screen page
You wouldn't need a app launcher icon as one of their home screen pages is the app drawer, so you could get creative and put a sms icon on the right side or whatever even leave it blank
You can even change the icon to any image you like
Now you can see a near complete edge launcher tw replica, I done the phone text shortcut as its more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with the stuff that has the soft menu on the right side of the screen.
If I can figure out a way to add any application as a shortcut I made out of a camera shortcut it has a text messages shortcut as well.
Camera
1st way
2nd way
I changed it up a lil
I think it's safe to say with Total Launcher making Note Edge Launcher TW Clone Homescreen the options are quite endless.

Changed it up a lil with Elixir 2
One more change added my own customized app drawer so I could get both left right shortchuts and a page indicator
Hello, I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy phone ( prior xiaomi user ).
On my previous phone, android 11 google pixel based rom, I used the android 11's gestures without a problem, my favourite one being the number 10 on this list. ( Android ALT TAB) https://www.computerworld.com/article/3439060/android-gestures.html
I want to know how I can achieve the same on my samsung galaxy phone (also android 11)
Goodlock family of apps including One Handed Operation plus (can setup custom navigation from L/R sides) give you more options.
Personally I loathe swipe navigation as the primary input.

I did try one handed operation app but it didn't give me the option to swipe the bottom of the screen left or right to snap (quickly transfer) between apps

It's only from the sides. It actually works very well and uses little battery. There's an option for a floating nav button cluster too. When the primary swipe or button navigation fail in a app, the One Handed Operation plus ones almost always works, saving a reboot.
My one N10+ is running on Android 10 and swipe gestures are default. They drove me crazy for 5 minutes until I set up the nav buttons.
Meh, it's not a Pixel; take advantage of the huge array of stock customization options available on the Galaxy Store. Free icon packs, themes and more. Try Sound Assistant to set up to 100 volume levels. There may be other apps in the Galaxy Store to modify swipe gestures from the bottom or in the phone's settings. I never explored this as I like my dinosaur navigation.
Check in settings>accessibility for possible options too. Use Setting search function as well.
This is a totally different animal than a Pixel.
