[Q] - Perminately hide soft buttons, replace with swipe from bottom

Hi all,
I love my Nexus 5, but coming from the GS3, I'm not sure I like the loss of screen realestate due to the soft buttons. I've tried immersive mode with Cataclysm rom, however I am a speed freak, and the added effort with swiping up the bars combined with the ugly re-positioning of the screen makes me dislike that option.
I'm looking for a way to permanently hide the nav buttons, and after that is accomplished I'm looking for a good (preferably customization) app that will act as a replacement.
1) Hiding the Nav Buttons - I've tried editing my bool.prop to add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" but it must be conflicting with my Rom (Cataclysm Nov 26) or my Kernel (Franco.14) because every time I reboot and unlock my screen I'm greeted with the lovely message "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and it forces me back to my silkscreen. I'd prefer not to use an app to solve the problem, as I'd much rather change system files through text editing or flashing than be required to download another app.
2) Simulating the buttons with gestures - I've tried a few apps so far, but I haven't been able to find one that solves my problem exactly the way I want. I may be forced to edit an app to get exactly what I want. The closest I've gotten so far is Swipe Home Button, however it still doesn't accomplish everything I want. What I'm looking for is the following:
Swipe up from bottom middle to go home (accomplished with Swipe Hope Button)
Swipe from bottom left to go back
Swipe from bottom right to launch recent apps
If anyone knows of any techniques to accomplish this I'd love to hear them!
Extra: I'd also like to hide the status bar, revealing it with some gesture, however that is farther down on my list as it is far less intrusive to my experience.

Use a custom ROM like Purity. They have this built in.

You can do the three gestures you want and also has the ability to hide/recall status bar with another gesture.

Thanks guys,
I use GMD on my tablet, however I wasn't sure I wanted to spend $5.00 to try it out. I've also realized (slightly embarrassing) that I can just use cataclysm to change the navbar height to 0%... so that solves problem 1.
EDIT: Turns out GMD is exactly what I need. Didn't realize it had this level of customization when I originally tried it. Thanks! However if anyone knows of a free solution that would be great too.

Cataclysm has a hide navbar button you can put in the quick toggle to disable the navbar completely. no need edit the build prop or download any additional software. Thiis is also better than setting the navbar size set to 0 as you can quickly toggle it on and off if needed.

As for hiding the navbar, I still don't know the most reliable or simplest method to do this.

[APP] Swipe Navigation - Navigation bar replacement

SWIPE NAVIGATION
ABOUT
Swipe Navigation allows you to execute actions by simple swiping from the edge of your screen, a bit like pie controls but without any ui elements which makes it a lot faster and easier to navigate. Swipe Navigation also has a dock that supports a unlimited amount of actions

HOW DO I HIDE MY NAVIGATION BAR
The best way to hide your navigation bar is with your ROM settings but if your ROM does not support this you can used a Xposed module or you can add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to your system/build.prop file.
Here is a video on how to edit you build.prop file VIDEO GUIDE
SYSTEMUI CRASHES WHEN I LAUNCH GOOGLE NOW ON TAP
This is a bug with android and google has been notified of this problem. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=193391
The reason this happens is when you hide your navigation bar with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 the animation crashes when trying to launch google now on tap.
Luckily there is a hack to get it working, what you will need to do is force the animation to play without using google now on tap and there are a few ways to do this.
If you turn on "OK GOOGLE" detection from any screen or if you use nova launcher/apex launcher/etc... go into settings and turn on "OK GOOGLE" voice activation
then say "OK GOOGLE" and the animation will play, a white border around the edge of your screen.
Once the animation has played google now on tap will start to work.
Warning if you reboot your phone you will need to say "OK GOOGLE" again.
SWIPE NAVIGATION IS NOT WORKING
Screen DPI set to low
One person reported that when they set there DPI from 320 to 260 swipe navigation would not work correctly
SuperSU out dated
Don't forget that SuperSU is still in beta for marshmallow so make sure your up to date
SELinux not allowing Swipe Navigation to inject Events
I'm still not 100% sure why some people are experiencing this problem maybe when SuperSU goes stable for marshmallow this will be fixed but for now here are a few checks you can do:
In advanced settings test other SU contexts
Make sure SuperSu/ROM/Kernel are all up to date
Make sure your ramdisk has been patched correctly modified boot.img by Chainfire
if all fails download SELinuxModeChanger and set your SELinux to permissive If you don't want to set your SELinux to permissive you could downgrade to version 3.0.3 or use without root version

Well i made the app so i would say yes but you would need to try it for your self so you can decide what you like better

I just bught this app for support, good work mate.
I was using free, so here are my impressions/requests:
1) Different color for basic gesture actions (left,center, right, left edge, right edge)
2) Dock settings is a cluttered chaos, no need for so many options. What i would like to see is option for folders or something similar.
Also a 'set to default' option would be nice for values.

i was thinking about adding glowing for different swipes so you can see what one your doing
dock settings well yes its a bit cluttered but i need that many settings if you press the floating button there are some presets you can use
(use a preset as a starting point or just use the way a preset is and pretend there are no settings)
folders would need a full rewrite on how the dock works but i don't want to do that i may make a extension for that you would have to download separately and would work with all other apps
dock has default but settings does not i was thinking about adding some presets for the other settings as well like the dock settings

I was thinking different colors in the bottom bar, for every 'area'
Also, there could be a ' set to default' option in every setting, next to 'cancel' and 'ok'
One other thing that could be configurable, is swipe distance on dock. If i wanna reach apps, there is a lot of distance.
Keep up the good work.

nice

Great app! Was looking for something like this but the swipe back xposed module was never consistent enough ...
some suggestions:
1. the home button is actually what i use the least, there is an option to change the size of the left and right most swipe areas, but can there also be an option to change the size of the center (home) swipe area? this will avoid the "back" and "recent apps" swipe areas being too small when the "search" and "menu" swipe areas are expanded
2. is it possible to add chrome actions (back/forward, next/previous tab, etc.) into the custom action list? it appears possible since the chromepie xposed modules and gesture navigation app have these shortcuts ... that would make chrome navigation a lot more user-friendly

There is currently no way to resize the home button
Back would be just the normal back action
If you go into actions at the bottom is more... Within more is forward
Switching tabs i was not able the find the keycode in the list that does that but
Here is something built into chrome you may not of known about
If you slide your finger across the top url bar it will switch across tabs
But i think this does not work if you have your tabs in recents if you have your tabs in recents then you could use switch to previous app the switch between your last 2 tabs apart from that i dont know

yes, i know about the gesture to swipe tabs in chrome. however it's not that useful a gesture when using the phone one-handed unless you have extra long fingers ...
i tried hard to find the keycode to swipe tabs in chrome too ... even connected to a bt keyboard to see if i could find it. but it's definitely possible since chromepie can do it, maybe it is a combination of keycodes simultaneously?
anyway, great app! got through my first day using it instead of the navbar and it feels very intuitive already

thanks

Feature Requests

Hopefully Essential takes some user feedback as far as features we would like to see going forward. If you post please try to keep it to reasonable features that mostly stock devices have or non os software tweaks.
The two big ones for me are
1. Night mode
2. Fingerprint shortcuts, primarily for notifications

tw1tch175 said:

+1

Damn just checked and realized no night mode since got the phone just today.
+1 on night mode, that thing is must have at system level. Don't want to go back to using apps like twilight etc

My needs are simple. Would like the option to rearrange navigation buttons, battery percentage, and finger print gestures.
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

Has anyone tried enabling night mode by enabling the UI tuner?. night mode is built into nougat but on some phones still has to be turned on. I don't have the phone yet to do it. Pull down the notification shade twice and then long press the settings cog icon. A wrench will show up next to the icon indicating that UI tuner has been enabled. Next install "night mode enabler" from the play store.

Unlocked bootloader, TWRP and root. Hopefully. ? - Not sure any devs are on board with this device.
I haven't received the phone yet, but does it support gestures while the screen is off? Such as double tap to wake, swipe up to unlock, etc.

Night mode is nice. I also like to separate ring volume from notification volume. I know that's not native to Android, but a simple mod makes all the difference for me.

Night mode for sure. Second would be system level to force apps to use the full screen, like what Samsung has for the s8+

Yep.
I'm waiting for TWRP.
For root, I plan to use Magisk to root and hide BL status. Since it's mostly ASOP, it should work like the Nexus 6P I have.

First off +1 to both, I really don't want to use the app that allows finger gestures, was a little sad to see it not available in stock Android since I got used to using it on the Pixel XL.

Just tried it and it isn't there sadly. Just like the fingerprint gestures I don't want to have to add it through an app.
On the flip side I got exactly what I deserved/wanted. Nothing but pure Android (minus the Essential Cam app and the Essential option in the settings) so that was good but in a way I want to kick myself because I forgot that these two features were add ons to the skin for the Pixel devices. Whatever the case maybe, I'll get over it lol.

Hopefully those features, switching navigation buttons and more will come to the table once we get the bootloader unlocked and the possibility of custom ROM's/mods. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Use this to change nav bar.
For battery percentage just enable the UI tuner

1. Changing audio track with volume buttons when screen is off.
2. Resizing nav bar height
3. Double tap to wake

I second the fingerprint gestures and double tap to wake wholeheartedly.
Would also love to see these:
1. Ability to use Light Flow or another LED manager to customize notification LEDs. This is my favorite thing about Android phones and Essential's stock LED patterns aren't cutting it for me. Somehow they managed to make it impossible for the LED to flash more than once every 5 seconds.
2. Ability to use 360 camera attachment as a fisheye lens. Currently the camera stitches two 210 images together to form a 360 photo. I want to be able to choose just one lens to capture an image.

The battery percentage option is in the system ui tuner I believe. Pull down the notification shade and long press on the settings icon then go into settings and look for it.

ability to change navbar height. it's too big uses unnecessary screen estate

There are several Improvements I would like to see in the phones software. More so just general optimization. However I think that most of these answers of what features are coming will be answered in Thursday's Q&A session with Andy Rubin on Reddit. So I guess we should wait until then to see where Essential and the ph1 is headed.

Question [Solved] OnePlus back gestures on Pixel 7 Pro?

Is there anyway to customize the back gesture for the Pixel 7 Pro?
I hate the fact that by default, the back gesture is to swipe in from the left and right side of the screen.
This interferes with hamburger menus in every app where swiping in from the left side of the screen no longer works.
The way OnePlus does it is way better, where swiping UP from the bottom left or right side of the screen takes you back. This is just as easy and preserves menu functionality in all apps.
On a rooted device, is there anything that can do this?

On a rooted device, use Fluid Navigation Gestures (FNG) and you can set swipe up gestures along the bottom. You must set the phone to 3 button navigation before applying and follow all instructions.

To open app menus you need to swipe diagonally. If the menu is on the left side, for example, you can slide your finger from the left lower third to the top right.

Try this: go to data/adb/post-fs-data.d and create an empty file with nk extension, containing "resetprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 1" and reboot. Not completely sure, but you might need to set permission to 744.

I don't have a pixel 7 Pro (planning to get one), but if you can enable the 3 button navigation, the method above will remove it completely. (Which means you'll have no way to navigate around, but that's the Vivid / Fluid Gestures comes in)

Question No immersive mode?

Is there a way to enable immersive mode on the Pixel 7 pro? Is there any root or Xposed option to do so? I want to enable immersive mode on a per app basis through tasker. This functionality seems to have been lost in Android 13.

I use the Xposed module "None Display Cutout". After installing it, go to Settings > Developer Options > Display Cutout and set it to "No Display Cutout".
Then I use XposedEdgePro to creat shortcuts to turn it off and on. You can trigger it by gesture, quicksettings or activity shortcut.
I'm not sure what the best way is to set it on a per-app basis.

I don't understand the utility in Xposed edge pro. Doesn't it make an annoying half moon circle with different buttons pop out? Each having its own customized function? You're making it execute a small script that is to go into settings tho and activate immersive mode after installing the display cutout option. Is that correct?

Well, the None Display Cutout module doesn't actually give you immersive mode by itself. It basically just makes your phone ignore the hole-punch camera. Without it, you will have a black section of unused space above the app and camera if you go into immersive mode. So, it just let's you use the full screen.
I just use Xposed Edge Pro, because it offers a working way to go into immersive mode, but you don't actually need to open it after setting it up. You don't need the pie/halfmooon menu. It has an activity that can be called. I have a different custom menu that I set up with another app that calls the XposedEdge Pro shortcut to put the phone into immersive mode. Xposed Edge also lets you add quick settings buttons to hide the status or nav bars.
You could also just set up gestures through Xposed Edge to trigger immersive mode

And this is while using the gesture navigation or are you using the nav bar?
Is this the Xposed module you're using?

Sorry, it is a Magisk module, not an Xposed module.
I use the gesture navigation, but I don't use the XposeEdge gestures. I was just saying that there are different ways of triggering it. There might be some other apps that still, work, but the other old apps that put the device in immersive mode just didn't seem to work anymore. So, Xposed Edge was the only way I could get it working. If all you care about is getting rid of of the gesture pill at the bottom, and don't want to hide the status bar, there is a mod you can use with Substratum Lite.
You mentioned using Tasker. Well, I just looked in Tasker and it does give you the option to call an App Shortcut from Xposed Edge Pro. I sort of got per-app immersive working with Tasker.
To test it try this:
1. Press the + button to add new profile and select "Application"
2. Select all apps that you want to be in immersive mode
3. For you task, select App > Shortcut > Xposed Edge Pro > Hide Status Bar > Turn On.
4. Do the same thing as above, but select Hide Navigation Bar.
At this point it should trigger it when you open one of those apps that you specified. The main issue is that it persists if you go to any other app. So then you might need to create an inverse version of the profile and tasks above, to turn it off for every other app, including your launcher. There is about a quarter second delay for the immersive to turn on when you switch to a new app, though.

Thanks. In the app settings reborn thread here on XDA they're saying it's not compatible with A13 tho.

It works on A13. I've been using it since day one on Pixel 7 Pro. Immersive mode, custom dpi and font size work. Only few apps are incompatible (Google Photos, Files, Recorder).
Screenshots:
1. Chrome with immersive mode enabled.
2. ES File Explorer with immersive mode and custom dpi.

I flashed a zip that makes my status bar 1px so the notification pull-down gesture still works but the screen is basically stretched to the top of the phone. Works perfectly
